GRASS WIDOWS IN INDIANA.-A correspondent
of the Dayton Journal who has been travelling
out in the Wabash regions of Hooserdom, dis
covered one popularity in every town he tarried
in:
Speaking of grass reminds me of the fact that
Indiana, (and particularly the Waba>h) is liter
ully swarmlng with graSs widows Every hotel
or tavern has or has had one or more OF those
bewitchng rixens domiciled with tlem for ten
days, which makes them citizens, and residents
OF the State of Indiana, and, with little
hard swearing, natives too. AT the expiration
of ten days suit is commenced against some
Uile husband, and, as matter of couse, a divorce
is granted, if for no other cause than incompat-
ibility Of temper. Here are congregated- from
all States in the Union Except Illinois, who is
competitor for this profitable lawyer trade.) all
the disconsolate grass widows. A case heard
of in Peru, where the widow of millionaire
had come from Brazil, remained here ten days,
got her divorce with 100000 of alimony, and
would have had more, but old Cresus had no
more in the United States that was comeatible.

PoLITIos AS THEY WERE AND ARE.-Mr Ev-
erett in his fourth of July speech at Boston, in
dulged in bit of personal "reminiscences:
''As long as / was in public life, was mem.
Der, as you know, Sir, Of that old Wing Party
to which you have referred-the national Wing
Party a political association, Sir, am sure you
will grant, of which no one need be ashamed
The prostration of my health compelled me, four
years ago. to resign the honorable post which
then filed in the public service Since that Pc
riod, new parties have been organized; old ones
have either retired for while, at least, from the
field, or have been forced in some degree on new
issues and if I felt the slightest inclination
(Which do not,) with the partial restoration Of
my health, to return to public life, | should be
deferred from it by the fact that, between the
extremes of opinion which distract and convulse
the country, find no middle path to practical
usefulness which friend of moderate counsels
is permitted to pursue. 'Statesmanship, as II
scas understood in nay younger ddys-thatis, the
study of the foreign relations of the country, Its
defences naval and military, its currency and Ii
nances, its internal improvements, its great IN
dustrial interests, and the relations OF the Gov
ernment to the Indian tribes-has almost become
an obsolete idea and our political life has as,
sumed almost exclusively the form OF sectional
agitation. Into that dreary and proftless aglta.
ton have no heart to enter"

SOUND DooTRINE.-The following arguments in
favor of advance payment for newspapers, were
advanced by the Ohio Editorial Convention at
its recent session.
"What would you think of farmer who rails
ed thousand bushels of wheat, and who should
sell it to a thousand different persons scattered
all, over the State; and agree to wait year for
his nav from each of them, and if one halt Of
them did not pay at the end of the year, he
,should give them another bushel of wheat, and
agree to wait another year for his pay, and thus
90 on year after ysar9 How long would such a
farmer escape bankruptcy Probably not very
much longer than publishers of newspaper
who follow such a practice. 1t costs the ed
itor of a weekly paper as much to supply q
thousand subscribers with it for one year as it
costs a farmer to raise thousand bushels of
wheat. The farmer sells his grain in bulk, and
either takes the cash or note just as good as
cash upon delivery. The editor cannot sell his
thousand papers in bulk. They are sold to a
thousand different persons living in different
towns in the county, and different counties in
the State and he must wait until the end of the
wear before he can get his payment, and then he
depends wholly upon the honesty and respons.
bilitv of the subscribers; for it is impossible
that he should know the character of all his snb-
scribers. 1t would not pay him to go around
or send around the county or State to collect his
dues. 1t would cost more than the collections
would come to-.

away" Thomas clambered up on the shed and
went up to where the cat lay, and lifting it up
by the TAIL hallooed back to us, "This cat can't
be walked up, it can't be scared away it's dead !"
After examining it a moment, Somebody has
been shootin' of It'll" said he as he tossed it
down into the yard. "You don't say So" said
we. That cat was the old Maltese, the chair
man of that convention-but he won't preside
over another very soon. We don't know where
he boarded or who claimed title to him. What
we do know is, that it cost o quarter to have
him buried or thrown into the river; and if any
body owned him, all we ask is, that he should
pay u, back our quarter, and the difference be-
tween his value and that OF the powder and shot
expended on him. Well throw in the vexation
of being broke of our rest, and the wickedness
of using certain xpletves-under the excite
ment of the occason-whch are not to be found

A Sigh from the Sanctum.

The editor of paper published in Philadel-
phia thirty years ago (he number of which be-
fore us bears date of July 1st, 1929 thus poeti-
cally laments his inability to "get away" from
his 'ssanctum- generous" duties. At the present
state of the thermometer, we can heartily sym
pathize with the unfortunate editor, who evil
IDENTIFY occupied four-by six apartment. lighted
only from the roof. What satisfaction it would
afford Us to know that cooling breeze sprung
up and famed his overheated brow before his
"sigh" had even reached the compostor's case
But how sad the reflection that long ere this, the
editor of thirty years ago has in all probability
fallen victim to brain fever induced by inces-
SAINT labor in hot sauctum. But hear him:
o Saratoga, Lebanon, Niagara and Ballston!
The heart that doesn't sigh for you this weather must
be all stone
The fashionable girls off, and so all the fellows,
And am putting like pair of bellows.
The pavements are all kissing hot the sky above is
brazen,
And every heads as good as dead the sun can lay his
rays on;
The market smells most horriblyies death to go to
dinner,
And expect to melt away-I do-as I'm sinner!
The lean like walking Skeletons go stalking pale and
gloomy,
And the fat, like red.hot warming pans, send hotter
fancles thro' me.
wake from dreams of Polar ice, on which was q
slider,
Like fishes dreaming of the sea and walking on the
spider!
Ye steamboats, on the Delaware -6fteen-twenty mi.
lers-
II makes my fancy cool to hear the kissing of your
boilers
Your crowds of lucky passengers, all cool Holland
skaters,
And the punches iced so thrillingly by your white
aproned walters.
sigh to think of all these things-I wish that was
able
To ''cuf the thousand manuscripts that lie upon my
table,
If could coin the flesh I've lost, or make horse of
sorrow,
I'd be upon the road to Sarotoga Springs tomorrow.

FISHES TRAVELLING BY LANp.-Dr. Hancock,
in the Geological Journal, gives description OF
fish called the flat head hassar, That travels to
pools of water when that in which it has resided
dries up. Bose also describes another variety
which is found in South Carolina, and, if our
memory serves us well, also in Texas, which,
ike the flat head, leaves the drying pools in
search of Others. These fishes, filled with wa
ter, travel by night, one with lizard-like mo-
ton, aud the other by leaps. The South Caro-
lima and Texas varieties are furnished with
membrane over the mouth, by which they are
enabled to carry with them supply OF water
to keep their gills moist during their travel
These fishes, guided by some peculiar sense, al
ways travel in straight line TO the nearest wa
ter. This they do without the aid OF memory
for it has been found that il tub hiled WIN
water is sunk in the ground near one OF these
pools, which they inhabit, they will, when the
pool dries up, move directly toward the tuo.-
Surely This is a wonderful aud merc,ful provls
ion for the preservation OF these KIND OF n'hes
for, inhabitiug, as they do, only stagnant pools
and that, too. in countries subject to long an'

To KEEP HAMS IN SuMMER.-One good way
is to put layer of coarse salt in the bottom Of
a barrel, then lay in ham and cover il with
salt. and then auotber, aud so on till the barrel
is filled. OF conrse this salt should be dry, and
the barrel should be kept IN Dry place.
l Another and better way is to sew up each
ham in coarse cloth bag, then give the whole
q coating of whtewash, and hang up the bag in
a smokehouse, or any dark, cool place.
A sure way of keeping hams fresh, but not
neat way, is to bag them as before mentioned,
and bury the bag in the ash-hole, taking 1t out
as wanted.
We have known them to keep very well by
simply wrapping in several thcknesses of news
paper and hanging in an open garret. A cor
respondent says they also "keep perfectly, as he
has proved, by packing in sweet dry hay run
through hay cutter. Then wrap them with a
single thickness of newspaper, and surround each
ham with portion Of the hay tie the whole in
large cotton bags, and hang in dry place.

The WAY TO EMINENoE.-Long ago little
boy was entered at Harrow school. He was
put into class beyond his years, and where
all the scholars had the advantage of previous
instruction denied to him. His master chid him
for his duness, and all his efforts then could
not raise him from the lowest place on the form.
But, nothing daunted, he procured the gram
mars and other elementary books which his class
fellows had gone though in previous terms. he
devoted the hours Of play, and not few Of the
a few weeks, he gradually began to rise and it
was not long until he shot far ahead Of all his
companions, and became not only the leader Of
the division, but the pride of Harrow. You
may see the statue Of that boy, whose career be-
gan with this fit of energetic application, in St.
Paul's Cathedral, London for be lived to be the
greatest Oriental scholar Of modern Europe-lt
was Sir William Jones.

G1RIs.-There are two kinds of girls; one is
the kind that appears the best abroad, the girls
that are good for parties, rides visits, balls &c,
and whose chief delight Is In such things tho
other is the kind that appears best at home, the
girls that are useful and cheerful in the dining
room, and all the precincts of home. They diff
fer widely in character. One is often torment
at home !; the other is blessing. One is moth
consuming everything about her, the other is a
sunbeam, inspiring life. and gladness all along
her pathway. Now it does not necessarily fol-
low that there shall be two classes of girls. The
right education will modify both little, and
unite their characters in one.
