To WINE DRINKERs.-General Carey, in the
address which he delivered before the Sons of
Temperance, stated that friend of his, while
..faveling in Paris, thought he would take what
IF called in that city a wine bath. He found it
70 be very refreshing. He was waited upon by
a 1colored servant who had fed from the United
States to avoid the fugitive law. He asked the
Waiter how it was that such large quantities of
wine could be used for such a purpose at
must be very expensive" said he.
\, !" Oh said the waiter, " the same wine which
You have used runs through all the baths in the
Establishment"
"And what do you do with it then ~ said the
1erdant American.
"Oh, we bottle it up and send it to the United
States to be drank."-4Hedical Journal

The WILD DoG.-The wild dog is about eight
teen inches high, of a brick-red or bright fox
COLOR with thick, bushy tail tipped with black;
the ears are also black, pointed and upright.
They are the most determined enemies of the
tiger, hunting him whenever they meet with
him. have been assured by Bheels, that they
have sometimes seen tiger attempt to save
himself by climbing trees On the approach of
the men the wild dogs dispersed, when the tiger
jumped down and gladly made his escape. This
firmly believe to be fact, for the story arose
out of a casual remark Bheel made to a.
mother in my hearing, as we were passing a
certain large tree with straight stump about
five yards high before the branches began up
which tiger had jumped,) in another part of
the country over which was hunting. Perhaps
these dogs hunt the tiger for poaching on their
deer, OF it may be only the old antpat-y be-
tween cat and dog on large scale.-[T Tiger

neA- The spiritual manifest destiny believ-
ers, OF late have been chewing the cud of dis
appointment, growing out the following con-
dltion affairs: A gay and lively gentleman,
protesting to be wdower, sought and won the
hand of bright eyed lacy of this city. who,
besides her PERSONAL attractions, was a devoted
slave to the science of spiritual manifestations
AT the numerous circles visited, when the in
explicable influence was on her, she invariably
spoke from the mouth of her husbands deceased
wife, and the dead paid all due encomiums to
the living, giving him the best of characters as
husband, man and father. All went well for
months when the California wife was somewhat
shocked to receive a visit, on the arrival of a
steamer, of lady and three children who CLAMP
ed the man as husband and father. Thea en-
sued scene-the widower was no widower, the
defnnct wife who spoke so wisely through a
medium had never inhabited the 'silent tomb"
in fact it was all a sell. Wife No.2 was quickly
bundled out of doors by wife No. /, and ashamed
OF the peculiar position she held, has since kept
her peace, although her faith in divination is by
no means slackened.-S +. Spirit of the Times

A SHARP TRADE.-Some years ago Ben Brown
opened a store in Swoptown, and in order to
book everybody in trade, he offered to treat
every one who bought anything at his store
Money being pretty scarce, there was a good
deal of barter going on in those days. So Sam
Jones called into the grocery and dry goods store
of Mr.. Brown, and asked for a darning needle,
offering in exchange an egg. After receiving
the needle, Jones then said:
"Come, amt you going to treat?"
"What, on that trade?"
Certainly, a trades trade, let it be big or
little"
well, what will you take ?"
ga glass of wine" said Jones.
The wine being poured out, Jones said:
9" Would it be asking you too much to put an
egg in the wine? | am very fond of wine and
egg"
Appalled, by the mans meanness, the store
keeper took the identical egg which he had re-
ceived for the darning needle, and handed it to
his customer, who, on breaking it into the wine
glass, discovered that it contained double yolk
Look here" said the sponge, "don't you
think you ought to give me another darning
needle? This, you see, is double yolk !"

Mr.. English made Lis demonstration in the
House yesterday. The project called his has been
transformed to suit emergencies and dodge objec-
tons so often that its true character is but imper-
fsctly understood In terms, however, 1t does not
submit he LecOmpton Constitution 10 the People Of
Kansas at oil, but merely asks them to vote for or
against proposition that the Federal Government
shall give them some Five Millions of land for tae
construction Of Railroads through their territory.
If they vote Yes, then they are to be held to have
accepted the Lecompton Constitution Though Mr..
English has dozen times voted, as we'll rs as
serted, that they never did accept it,, aud are to
be treated as in the Union under that instrument.
If they vote No to the Land grab, then they
are to be regarded as not in the Union, and not
wanting to come in until an off ,ial census shall
have shown that Kansas has a Federal popula-
ton sufficient TO entitle her TO Member of Con-
gr.ss- that is, 93,34O now, aid from 10000 to
l25, 900 after 1850.
Now it is MT to be denied that the rascaly inge
nuity or ingenious rascaty of this project is very
decded-quite above the range of EDglish's capa-
city. We believe Stephens is lis original inventor,
though he doubtless profted BY the friendly sug-
gestons of others To say to people so poor, 80
harsssed as those Of Kansas-so misgoyerned aud
abused by Federal satlaps az they have been
Submit TO the Lecomptoi fraud, and you shal
have self.goverpment, Admission into the Union,
millions of acres Of land wherewith to checker
"yOur whole area with Railroads. while, if you
"say No, you shall remain a Federal province,
with Denver for your Governor, Lecompte and
"Cato for your Judges, and Marshsls, &c, off the
same pattern, for years with no vote in Congress
"no Lands, no Railroads, at least for some
years is to put their virtue and their devotion
to freedom to a severe trial. But they are proof
against all temptation to aposta.y and dishonor-so
Mr.. Englsh may push on his bill so fast as he can.
We shall regret its passage only because il is
calculated to protIact aid embitter a contro

In Congress- yesterday the HOUSE wss in Com.

preventative in the Committee Of the Anti-Lecomp-
ton majority of the House, disposed Of the
merits Of Mr.. Euglishs proposition in few

postponement of the subject till to-day.

Thus far, Mr. Englisd's success does not justify
the vsunts of strength with which his projet WAS
heralded to the public. After he had spoken yes
terday in exposition and commentator of his plan
asking that it be taken up at o'clock to-day Tor
acton, Mr.. Howard of Mich. obtained the floor IN
opposition. and moved that it be printed and idr'
ther action on it postponed to the second Monday
IN May Which prevailed by q vote OF iVo W ioo
So the frat vote Of the House on Mr.. E.'s proPos'
ton is substantial defeat for its contrivers; and
it would have been followed by harder snd more
decisive blows if the friends Of the continuance had
not insisted on dragging cut its offensive CARCASS and
getting the House adjourned at the earliest
possible moment. Two three South
Americans and several Fire-eaters refused TO
descend TO the level OF thi. tIck, and though Gen.
Quitman bad been induced to pair off and keep
silence, tee explosion WAS not thereby asarted,
but Mr. Stephenss colleagues Of both parties were
involved in it. The Lecomptonites appear to have
been perfectly thunderstruck by this defeat, and to
have adjourned in utter CONSERVATION. Still, they
work better in secret than in the House and may
be able to reclaim the Fire-eaters By soothing ap-
phcatiOns ont f-doors We shall see.
