A GOOD EXAMPLE," After the great fire
in this city in 1880" SAYS the n. T. Otsuser,
" some Of our citizens who had large sums IL
vested in Insurance Companies, found them
selves suddenly deprived OF a great portion
of their income. The pastor of one Of the
churches, in making his annual solicitation
for the cause of Foreign Missions, passed by
a venerable and worthy man who had been
accustomed to civ, hundred dollars 4 year.
and did not ask him fora contribution. The
gentleman soon asked the pastor if it was not
time for the collection.
"Yes," said he. i have made it already,
but knowing that you had been a great loser
this year, l did not think it proper to call up
on YOU for your usual Donation"
My dear sir" replied the gentleman, 1T
is very true that have suffered great losses,
and must be prudent in my expenditures, but
rdreachmcM must not bewn at the honse Of
Go1."
That very day he sent his pastor check
for t,ro hundred dollars, and the same for ev-
cry succeeding year to the time of his death.
BAD Prospects FOR SMOkEEs-It is sta
ted that incessant rains during the last part
of August and the first part of September
have seriously injured the tobacco plant. and
rendered it impossible to prepare the ground
for laying the seed: aprocess which, in order
to sccurea productive harvest, must be per
formed in the beginning of September. The
cultiyators of the tobacco districts are offering
tcrvcnt prayers to heaven that its blessing may
not be withheld from this important branch Of
industry.

The washington Epidemic .

Disguise it as interested parties may,
there can be no doubt, that wholesale at
tempt at poisoning was attempted at the
National Hotel at Washington, just previ-
Gus to the Inauguration. The theory that
filthy sewers generated deadly gas, will not
account for the symptoms which show them
selves in the multitude Of cases of sickness
directly attributable to the National Hotel.
The Philadelphia Times says an eminent
physician of that city, who had several per-
sons under his care seeking relief from the
mysterious sickness contracted at the Fede-
raj Capital, maintains the theory that it re-
suited from premediated attempt to poison
the inmates Of the National Hotel. He
bases his opinion upon the fact that mono
but those who dined at the public table
were attacked; and as, to the story of the
rat-poisoned water, it is refuted, because the
tank is only used for washing, while the
drinking water is brought through pipes
from distance. The sickness originally
broke out during Mr.. Buchanan's first visit
to the hotel; it ceased when he left for
Wheatland, and upon his return, after q
fortnights absence, became again moro vi
olent than ever. The President elect was
warned, by anonymous letters, not to cat or
drink in that house, and under the advice Of
friends, although he returned to the hotel
from feeling of regard for its worthy pro-
prictors, he never broke bread nor emptied
a glass in it, until he took up his residence
in the Presidential mansion. Occasional
visitors who did not board there, but used
the bar were not afflicted, while nearly all
the occupants Of the dining room we're more
or less prostrated.
Among those who have suffered are Mr..
and Mrs. Bacon, Of New Haven, Conn.,, the
latter of whom on her way to Havana was
taken sick and now lies critically i'll at Mo
bile. The Rev. Mr.. Malcolm, Of Newport,
R. l., and his wife, are also sick, with plain
symptoms of having swallowed arsenic
Mr.. Brenton, NJ. c., from Indiana, has diod
from the effects of this poisoning, and we
presume hundreds are laying i'll all over the
country. Many have died. C1sv. Herald.

Important from kansas.

st. Louis, April 3.
The Lccompton correspondent Of the
Democrat says the census takers of Kansas
are doing their work in very bad manner,
missing some neighborhoods entirely, and
not taking the names of half the actual res
idents in others. Much quanclling has Ia
ken place between squatters and land as
soclations in different parts of the Territory.
Several deputy marshals were arresting po-
litical prisoners on charges growing out Of
difficulties which occurred last summer.
At Democratic meeting in this city
last night, Huntington, editor of the Lea
der, read letter from Col Benton, which
denounces and repudiated the emancipa.
ton movement in this State.
Upwards of million and quarter dol.
lars have been subscribed for the establish
ment of six banks, to be started in this city
soon. The books are closed until after the
organization and election of Directors
when they will again be opened.

Washington, April 2.
The decisions, together with the opinions
of the Supreme Court on the Dred Scott
case, will be published by the Appletons in
New York about the 25th of April. The
volume is to be stereotyped, and great
sale of it is anticipated. The Chief JUS

opinions, and is engaged in revising it,
What improvements he may make in IL
cannot be foreseen, but neither the opinion
nor the decision will take determinate and

What the Court has decided, is fortunately
beyond question, for the decision is recorded
by the clerk in the shape of an order re-
manding the case of the Circuit Court for
Missouri, with the direction to dismiss the

ratio disquisitions of the majority, on the

PROSPECTS OF KANSAS.

1t now seems inevitable that constitu-
ton establishing slavery will be adopted
The free state men out number their oppo-
nents three to one; but in a contest where
all the polls arc in the hands of such men
or their tools as invade Kansas, and violate
the ballot-box again and again, there re-
mains no chance for freedom. The dice are
loaded. The cards are spotted. The de-
csion is already made. If the free state
men were to cast one hundred votes against
slave constitution to every ten cast for it,
they would still be defeated. And the
worst of it is that the result however fraud
ulcnt and outrageous, and however well
known to be so, if it have semblance of
legality will be recognized and enforced by
the Administration. The acceptance of
Geary's resignation and the appointment of
Governor and Secretary both from slave
holding states, show clearly enough what
the course of the Administration is to be-
Our only hope is that if Kansas is admitted
as slave state she will not long remain
such. Once the actual people of Kansas
escape from the overbearing force of the
federal government, they will remodel their
institutions to suit themselves. A southern
paper says, significantly, that constitution
can be so made that it cannot be altered in
twenty years. But if the people can make
constitution they can unmake it; nor will
twenty years. restriction avail to bind them
if majority are, as we believe, resolved to
make Kansas eventually free state.
