/ Some people are continually wondering
at the "carelessenss" of the editors in al
owing SO many errors and blunders To
appear in their columns and mar the
print. Such people, know very little of
the difficulties-we had almost said inn
possibilities-of keeping them out. The
most careful attention to these matters
will not prevent errors from creeping in,
even when professional proof readers are
engaged expressly for the purpose
And when it is borne in mind that in
most papers such an expense is necessarily
dispensed, with, and the proofs on that ae-
count are often hurriediy examined. the
fact will no longer appear strange. In
connection with this subject, the follow
ing anecdote is not inappropriate: "
A Glasgow publishing house attempted
to publish work that should be per-
feet specimen of typographical accu-
racy. After having been carefully read
by six experienced proof-readers, it was
posted up in the hall of the University,
and reward of fifty pounds offered to
any one who should detect an error
Each page remained two weeks in this
place; and yet when the work was issued
several errors were discovered, one of
which was in the first lime Of tile first
page.
When such was the case in city long
celebrated in Great Britian for publishing
the finest and the most correct editions of
the classics, what is to be excepted in a
newspaper which must necessarily be hur-
ried through the press a0hile IL is mews;
and where the compensation will hardly
afford one experienced proof-reader,"
let alone six. The wonted accuracy of
our papers is really astonishing. --I-

,yt.Helrose, the cloak fell, and II beheld
his face. Gentlemen the sight of tthat
face struck me like thunder clap, Hwas
the face of o dead man., whom extraordi'
nary events had called back TO life.I The
features were those of General George
Washington. He was dressed hthe Rey-
olutionary costume, such as you see in the
Patent Office.p = saaC .gGsG9Tssc .sHs
Here Mr.. Calhoun paused, apparently
agitated.N His agitation, / need enot tell
you, was shared by the company. Toombs
at length broke the embarrassing Pause:l J.

this scene?" rsai7 ~ A>td 1ti..'i

The truth is, 1 felt strange thrill prevail
me at his touch; he grasped it and held it
near the light, thus atfording me full time
to examine every feature. 1t was the face
of Washington. D., Gentlemen, shuddered
as / beheld the dead7alive look of that
visage. After holding my hand for a mo-
ment, he looked at me steadily, and said
in quiet'way: Sd r aqs Ara ....gg
"And with this right hand, Senator
from South Carolina, you would sign your
name to paper declaring the Union dis
solved?" sa..e a5 ..a e..
II answered in the affirmative: Yes,
will, if certain contingency arises, sign
my name to Declaration Of Dissolution" +"
"But at that moment black blotch ap-
peared on the back of my hand--an inky
blotch, which seem to see, even now
What is that?' said 1, alarmed, | knew
not why, at the blotch on my hand"
That" said he, dropping my hand, "is
the mark by which Benedict Arnold is
known in the next world" .u.- s l
"He said no more, gentleman. but, drew
from beneath his cloak an object which he
laid upon the table-laid it tupon the very
heavy paper on which was writing. That
object was a skeleton" s' ~
"There," said he, "there are the bones
of Isaac Hayne. who was hung at Charles
ton by the British He gave his life in
order to establish the Union. When you
put your name to Declaration of Disso-
luton, why you may as we'll have the
bones of Isaac Hayne before you; he was
a South Carolinian and SO are you. But
there was no blotch on his right hand"
with these words, the intruder left the
room. l started back from the contrsat
with the dead mans bones and-awoke.
Overworn by labor, had fallen asleep,
and had been dreaming. Was it not a
singular dream ?'I'.a ,'i-s'es,s4- .,,a..
All the company answered in the affirm
alive, and Toombs muttered, "Singular,
very singular" at the same time looking
curiously at the back of his right hand,
while Mr.. Calhoun placed his head be-
tween his hands and seemed buried in
thought.

Chinese Sugar Game.

q Everybody has been asking, f'Will il
succeed; Wilt pay?" Scarcely a county
in the State was unrepresented in, the ex-
perimental showing fol, homemade sweet
Eening. Some had a good crop, many an
average, and many a 'sslim" one. 1t can
be grown, the generalverdict is, nearly as
well as Indianeorn, when tits a little better

ai When grown, it was important to as
certain whether it were worth trying again.
Many had been sanguine, and being igno-
rantas sanguine, were disappointed, when,
with imperfect rollers, obtaining only q por-
ton of the. justice. theyqmade but little
sirup--or, neglecting to neutralize veg
etable acids, an unpleasant taste was OBJ
served; or failing rightly to boil and clar-
ify, the sirup, equal to the best "Golden,"
a total failure rewarded their efforts to
make sugar. And so the cain is pro-
nounced failure for practical purposes.
The reuslt, really, is uniformly encour-
aging and successful. Sugar and good
sirup have been m ade in Deleware, Ohio,
in numerous cases in Illinois, and posi-
bly, all over the Union. Joseph S. Low
ering, an experienced sugar refner Of
Philadelphia, made every variety, from
the coarsest to the finest loaf. He says
"It is about as easy to make good sugar
from the Chinese Cane as to make good
pot of mush, and much easier than to make
"a good kettle of apple butter!'' He esti-
mates theyield ofan acre at ,22l pounds
of sugar and seventy five gallons Of mo-
lasses.
A gentleman in Clermont county, Ohio,
cultivated thirty acres, and made from
four to six forty gallon barrels of refined
sirup to the acre, say two hundred gal
Ions, for which he realized $125 at whole
sale. '..-'
AS foreign plant it is doubtless well
worthy of cultivation; and it is not i'm

SCHOOL, '.4..ae. .-- ..su.
"In Chillicothe there is high school
without master. 1t contains about sew
enty pupils of both sexes, whose ages aver
age between fifteen and sixteen years.
They assemble together in hall. where
the studies assigned by the teacher are
pursued. The recitations take place in
adjoining rooms. Two recitations daily
are conducted by superintendent of public
schools in that city; the others by teach
ers appointed for that purpose l entered
the school-room unobserved, and though
there was no teacher present, there was no
appearance of disorder or neglect of stndy.
The school has been managed upon this
plan for two years with entire satisfaction

no opportunity to become acquainted with
the Intellectual character of the pupils; but

LITTLE GRAvEs.-Sacred places for
pure thoughts and holy meditations, are
the little graves in the churchysrd. They
are the repositories ofthe mothers sweet
est joys-half-unfolded buds of innocence,
humanity nips by the first frost Of time,
ere yet canker-worm of population had
nestled among its embryo petals. Cal
lous indeed mustbe the heart of him who
can stand by little graye-side and
not have the holiest emotions of his soul
awakened 10 thoughts of that purity and
Joy which belong alone to God and
heaven; for the mute preacher at his feet
tells of life begun and life ended without
a strain; and surely if this be vouchsafed
to mortality, how much purer and holier
must be the spiritual land, enlightened by
the sun of infinite goodness, whence ema-
mated the soul of that brief sojournment
among us? How swells the heart of the
parent with mournful joy while standing
by the earth-bed Of lost little ones?--
Mournful because a sweet treasure is taken
away-joyful, because that precious jewel
glitters in the diadem of the Redeemer.

The Mind and the Nerves.

The mind in the brain employs the
nervous system as so many instruments
of communication with the outer world
The eye is necessary to sight, but it does
not see, for if the nerve which forms
communication between it and the brain
Is divided, the vision will be destroyed;
and so with all the other organs of sense.
Some have believed that the heart is the
seat OF mind, and it is quiet common to
consider it the source of the affections. -
1t is perfectly easy, however, to trace all
the passions and mental phenomena to
their great lodging place, the brain. Wis
ion has been destroyed in some persons,
and yet by pressure on the optic nerve
they have been haunted by illusions, be-
lieving that they saw objects which did
not exist. After PERSONS leg or arm is
amputated he feels for long time after
ward, as if his fingers or toes still belong
to him. ai e'
The spinal cord generates nervous en-
ergy for muscular actions, influences the
recreations, regulates the emotion of the
heart, and maintains the actions of the
different organs in harmony to perform
their several functions, but it has no re-
lation whatever to the faculties of precep-
ton and thought. 1t is composed of the
same material as the brain, but its fiber
and viscicles are constant repetition Of
the same structure, while in the brain
there is an endless variety in their ar
arrangements; this is the reason why the
brain is cosidered to be oongerie of Or
gans. A large extra vasasion of blood
within the head, by the pressure which
it causes on the brain, produces total in
sensibility to external Impressions, and
suspends volition. The effect of simu-
lar injury TO the spinal cord is very diff
ferent. The parts below the Injury are
deprived of their sensibilitY, at the same
time those parts of the body which are
above the injury maintain their sensibility
and power of motion unimpaired. A per-
son who has received mortal injury of
the spinal cord in the neck may live for
FIVE or six days; nothing living but the
head.--Scientifc american. s..

81 The Nebraska "NswsH ofths Sd inst.
contains long account Of the marriage of
q Pawnee Chief to a blood royal squaw
of the Otpe tribesb The bridegroom was
named Whitewater,o and the bride Wa
mush-pe-shinga. E9Weexsfact the follow
ing: s2shi t'41'sfa
The Chieftain' s daughter was elegantly
dressed in red flannel shilt with deep blue
calico border, checked apron, summer
killed buffalo robe and 4 White felt'hat.-
Her Jewels were magnificent. From Ell
tler armieular depended b.leht ornaments
of brass, tin and coppeg
We must not omit to d ention that Miss
'Wa-mush. pc -shinga also wore cred pet
ticoat," embroidered according to de-
sign of her own, with porcupine quilts,
representing desperate dog fight. Her
entire wardrobe and jewelry could not
have cost less than six thousand dollars in
Fontenelle money. The bridegroom was
attired in all the magnifcence which his
rank and welth demanded. He wore a
standing shirt collar, model of President
Pierce, a blue straight-collared soldier coat
with brass buttons, and an elegant pair of
Spanish spurs, while his stalwart !oins
were admirably clothed in an ancient coffee
sack. Altogether the appearance of both
the bride and the groom was appropriate
to their high sphere in life. g,.,.
The most sumptuous feast awaited the
guests at the residence of the BRIDES fa-
ther. 1t was spread in camp kettle and
suspended over the fires that burned in
the centor of that princely lodge. 1t con-
sisted of young dog meat, very tender, blue
corn and old dog meat, beaver tails and
mule steak, fresh fish, and sugar, ma
king, altogether, one of the most palatable
and nourishing compounds that ever
graced royal camp kettle. The horn
spoon of occidental luxury seldom conveys
to the educated palate viands more tempt
ing and delicious. AS for drinks, corn
whisky made Of red pepper, tobacco plugs
and rain water, together with molasses-
sweetened coffee, made up the list. '-"
Among the distinguished persons pres
ent, we did not fail to notice the six Mes
danes Pentanasharo, the wives of that
eminent "Injin" who is now at Washing
ton, visiting James Buchanan on official
business. Also, Mr.. Whitecow, of the
Omaha principally, Mr.. Big Soldier,
Esquire Wildcat and the Hon. Short

J. A ROMANTIC GIPsEY SToRY.--A story
is afloat that some gossip has been occa-
stoned in Cumberland County, Penn, by
the following circumstances: Mr. George
Fry, of Shippensburg married Clip ,ey
girl belonging to gang which were hunt
ting the neighborhood, about three years
ago. The gipsey girls father was SO en-
ragged at this that he kidnapped her and
sent her to parts unknown. Mr.. Fry
mourned her loss two years, and then
married again. But, says the Shippens-
burg "News:"--Last week Mr.. Fry first
~ye--his gypsy wife--in company with
George Fry the second," arrived in
search Of himl By the assistance of officer
Shape, she was successful in finding him .
Limited space forbids us from entering
into details at this time, of the excrutiating
suffering Mrs. Fry had undergone since
her departure from this place. The in
telligence Of her husbands second mar
riage was severe shock to her; but she
emphatically declares her exclusive right to
him. Itappears by the way. that Mr..
Fry's second wife was "widow;" that
her husband went to California some years
ago, and soon after his arrival there, it
was rumored that he was murdered. A
few weeks since letter was received from
him by her, we have been informed, in
which he states that he will return in the
next steamer, &c. What the finale of this
romance will be is beyond the power Of
human ken.
