Tue Use OF MoNEY.-Ihe New York Mr.
ror says it is estimated that one of our rich
men (William Il. Aston has now an income
Of 5000 Il day, $l,l00,Go0 a year. If
wealth leads to happiness, Astor would be
the most contented man IN the world. But
he is not To keep away the gout he feeds
himself on Graham bread and INDUCES in q
less generous diet than we do. Astor, in
stead of being one of the happiest men in
New York, is, perhaps, the most discomfort
ed. lie is in law with his tenants half of
his time; and instead of taking the world
kindly, he spends eight hours of ten in
reading upon the statutes of fraud. Astors
income is $4,000 day, and yet We could
furnish all he consumes-Sl5 week. Such
beng the case, it strikes US that the man
who makes $15 week is just as well OFF as
Astor People who worship ducats, place a
false estimate on them. Three of the best
things in the world are obtained gratis
viz: pure water, pure air and unadulterated
health.

The Muscatine Journal says that man
put up at a public house in that city one
night last week. having three horses " tn
him. The hotel keeper suspected the man,
and informed Marshal Unger that he thought
the horses were stolen. The Journal says ::
The Mar sha questioned the stranger very
closely. telling Eim that he must give Ia
straight account Of himself or be suspected
Of coming in possess on OF the horses by
unfair means The man stated that he was
from Illinois. lad stopped four days at Bur-
lington, and was on his way TO some of the
back counties of this State TO trade the hors-
es for land. He exhibited abOut $500 in
money, and subpoena to appear as wit
ness at court in Iowa City, on the 9th OF
last month. He pretended, however, to have
picked up the subpoena on the str. ct. 1t
was addressed to I. Robinson-most proba-
bly, his real name. He promis, d Marshal
Unger to remain until morning, but betw cen
ten and eleven o'clock abscondcd, and has
not been seen or heard of since. He left
some clothing, camp equippage and valise
containing among others, bowie knife
The horses are still in the Boston House

about g. and years. The seyen years
old one is blind in one eye, and has both

The Manner Of Senator Rusk's Suicide.
The following is an extra from the Office
OF the Narcogdochcs Chronicle:


GEs. RusK IS DEAD!-A great calamity
mas beiallen the State of Texas. One OF
~, ner most distinguished sons has fallen.-
ihoH'as D. Rush is no more. A gloom
hangs over our peop,e-a mystery. thus far.
/ is connected with the matter. W. can onlv
| give the facts, and mourn the sad stroke
which has thus deprived Texas and the South
OF valued and useful champion. Gen.
Rusk has, ever since the death Of his lady.
suffered under a mental depression, which
at times bore him down beneath its weight.
lie has, to great extent, secluded himself
| from society, and lately that dependency
has been more marked and apparent to those
fami lar with him. 4 severe illness. from
which he was just recovering, had prostrated
him for weeks, and he was suffering greatly
from rising upon the back Of his neck.
On yesterday evening, about o'clock, his
family, hearing the report of a gun and the
falling of body, ran to the spot, and found
him lying dead upon the ground, behind the
gallery at the back of the house with rifle
under him. A coronecs jury was summon
cd, from whose verdict we extract the fol-
lowing:
THE cause Of his death was a gun-shot
Titie) wound on the fore part of the head,
inflicted from q rife gun held in his own
hands, and discharged by himself"
No further clue can be given to this mys-
terry. No papers or writings Of the same
day have been found, except letter ad-
dressed to gentleman in New Orleans, or
dering tombstone for his wife, with this
inscription: Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they shall see God"
Let the people mourn the loss Of man
who, on the field Of battle and in the coun-
c:ls of the State and nation, has proved him
self to he worthy the proud place already
accorded him in the affections OF the people.
An inventory of all his property was
found in portfolio, and the value Of the
same divided by the number Of his children.
lie was buried this evening with Masonic
honors. An obituary address was delivered
by the Hon. W. b. Ochiltree, which will ap-
pear in the next Chroniele, along with the
whole evidence in the matter.
The New Orleans BalletiR states that a
friend had conversed with gentleman direct
from Nicogdoches, who stated that he at
tended his funeral on the 20th ult. lie
stated that on the day Of the fatal deed Gen.
Rusk attached string to rifle, and placing
the muzzle against his forehead literally
blew the top of his head off, A rumor was
rife in Nicadoches to the effect that this de-
Dlorable event had been in part caused by
Spiritualism

HORRIBLE SUIcIpE-A man named Oliver
Hotchkss, killed himself by cutting his
throat in this city this morning. He had
been arrested for stealing cattle in Michigan
and getting permission from the officers
having him in charge to so into privy, in
a few minutes he came out Of the door with
his throat cut from car to ear, and The blood
spouting from the wound.-He staggered a
few rods from the door and fell to the
ground and expired instanhy.-An inquest
was held and verdict rendered in accord
ance with the above facts. No cause except
ing the arrest for stealing, is given for the
horrible act.-.yol.. Sig.

RAISING AND PRESERVING ToMAToEs.-To
many persons there is something unpleas-
ant, not to say disgusting, in the flavor OF
this excellent fruit. II has. however, long
been used for culinary purpose in various
countries in Europe, and has been of late
extensively cultivated, and become q gene
raj favorite in the country. DIR. Bennett, a
professor of some celebrity, considers it an
invaluable article of diet, and ascribes to 1t
very important medical properties.-He de-
clares
l. That the tomatoe is one Of the most
powerful apcricnts of the mdtern D'edicd,
and that in all of those affections of the liv-
er and organs where calomel is indicated it
it is probably the most affective and less
harmful remedial agent known to the pro-
fess;on.
q That chemical extract will be obtain
ed from it which will altogether supercede
the use of calomel in the cure OF disease
3. That he has successfully treated dia-
rhoea with this article alone.
+. Then when used as an article Of diet,
sia and Indigestion.
3 That persons arriving from the East or
North 10 the South or West, should by al
means make use Of it as an alimen,, as it
would, in that event, save them the danger
attendant upon those violent bilious attacks
to which almost al unacciimated persons
are liable
6. That the citizens in ordinary health
should make use Of it, either raw, cooked,
or in the form OF a catsup, with their daily
food, as it is the most healthy article IN the
mutcrid dlimentdrtd.

From the Revue des Deux Mende..
The AnglO.SaXOn Race.

VI all the races which all this day occupy
the scene Of the world the most active, aud
that which possesses the greatest weight and
influence, is unquestionable the Angio-Saxor
race. Other nations may be more noisy and
brilliant than England and the United States
they may exhibit more external glory
but no one, if looked at closely, can be con-
sidered so necessary as both these people
The Angle glo-Saxon and Anglo American races
form one of the most important springs OF
the great political machine OF the universe :
without it would perish, or be abandoned TO
the contempt Of the future some Of the most
important facts of history, and some of those
moralHotions which are SO essential to hu-
manity.
Without England and America, Protcstan-
ism would exist no longer. Had Protestant
ism no other support than that Of Germany,
we would see it now expiring in delirium
and blasphcmy, amid the laughter of other
nations. Without the example afforded by
England the French revolution would not
only be anathematizcd, but abandoned as
without reason and full incoherent extrava-
gancies. Had it not been for England. Amer
ica would, on its discovery, have fallen back
into the barbarism in which Spanish YES
sci found it, 1t is owing to England that the
proved useless, and counts for great human
fact, and for service rendered % moral or
der, and not merely discovery interesting
to science and cosmology
1t is England who at this day prevents
nations from falling upon and devouring one
another and who maintains the equilibrium
of the continent by the fear Of having to
measure strength with SO redoubtable an
an adversary. Thus her very egotsm is
useful, for it protects our repose. 1t is she
that crosses the projects of Oriental Europe,
and says to the two Sclavi races, Thus far
shalt thou 90, and no farther" What des-
tiny. Hei form and power are absolutely
to the moral order Of the world. Let Us lay
aside all national prejudices and patriotic
pride. Many nations of apparently more
importance might disappear, and which /
seem to be more immediately interested in /
the maintainance Sf modern civilization, but
there is not one whose death would leave /
such terrible results as that of the solitary, /
he esotistical and independent England.

A western editor and his wife were walk
ing out in the bright moonlight one evening.
The wife was of an exceedingly poetical ma
ture, and said to her mate. "Notice that
moon-how bright and calm and beautiful :"
"Couldn't think Of noticing il, J" returned the
editor, for anytime less than the usual
rates-a dollar and half for twelve lines.
