WHAT WILL YOU TAKE?-More port wine is drank in England in any one year than is ship ped from Oporto; more champagne is sold in twelve of the United States than is imported into them all, and more French brandy is drank in q few of the principal cities than is cleared in all the custom houses. No Madeira wine has been produced on the island of Madeira since 1851. The vine has utterly died out
 Dr. Hiram Cox, of Cincinnati, chemical n- spector of Ohio, publishes the result of two hundred and fifty chemical inspections. We condense a part of his report, to show people what they take sugar in.
 Of brandies not dne gallon in hundred aOas brandy; the rest were limitations, and majority of them having whisky for basis with acid and drugs to give them color and flavor.
 Of wines, he says that noG one gallon in thousand is pure Those called Cherry, Port and Malaga, he found to be made of water, sulphuric acd alum, Gunea pepper, horsera- dish and some of them without dropof alcohol
 In his inspection of whisky instead of 45 TO 50 per cent of alcohol he found only l5 or 20, and in some he found enough sulphuric acid, or oil of vitrol in quart of it, to eat hole in a mans stomach. Rcd pepper and lobelia are much used. Gentlemen in the habit of .tab- ing sugar in the'rn'' will please notice.

with the reality:

The increase of the whites is per cent; the increase of the blacks 24 per cent. If the slave trade should be revived, it will be seea that 3Oo,0O0 slaves may be imported each year, for ten years to come, without increasing tue pro- portion Of the negro population to the whites. But, with the present negroes as basis. in eighty years the United States will have twenty millions of negroes. This fact has excited ap- prehension in the minds of some, who have not taken into account that with the increase of negroes so will be the expansion of our reonlc In eighty years from now we will own South America.

The Report Sustained.

by the report of the committee
OF conference, the Lecompion con.
stitution is indirectly submitted TO
the people Of Kansas;its adoption and
The admission Of the territory as a
State under it are made to depend
upon an acceptance, by The people
voIing,ol the change made in the land
schedule. As the black republicans
aud their allies would not consent
to receive Kansas with the Lecomp-
ton constitution unconditionally into
the Union, their plan is probably the
best one that could have been devils.
ed, Congress now agrees to admit
Kansas with the Lecompton cohsti-
tution on the above named simple
condition. Should Kansas prefer to
lorm new constitution, it must be
again inspected and approved before
she can be admitted. She can say
whether she will now come into the
conlederacy as a State, or remain
while longer territory; and to
come in or to stay out is her own
choice.

Brigham on Mormon Resources.

The following are extracts from
a spicy discourse Of Brigham Young,
delivered recently:
"Can We feed and clothe ourselvesY
Yes We can, as well rs any people on
the earth. We have a goodly share
OF the genius, talent and ability OF the
world; it is combined ia the Elders
al this Church and in their families.
And if the Genliles wish to see n
few tricks, we have Mormons that
can perform them. We have the
meanest devils on earth in our midst,
and We intend to keep them, for we
have use for them; aud if the devil
docs not look sharp, we will cheat
him out Of them at the last, for they
will reform and go 10 Heaven with
Us.
"We have already showed the inye-
ding army few tricks, aud ] told
Captain Van Viiet TINT II they per-
sisted in making war upon US, |
should share in their supplies. The
boys would ride among the enemy's
tents, and one OF their oaptains ran
into Col. Alexander's tent, one night,
saying: "Wby, Colonel, I'll be I'D
if the Mormons won't be riding into
your tent if you don't look out"
I'VE have the smariest women in
the world, The best cooks, the best
mothers; and they know how to
dress themselves the neatest of any
others. We are the smartest peo-
pie in the world-but look out per
tanning to take care of and sustain
ing ourselves that the children of
this world are not smarter than the
children Of light, ! say that they
shall not be, for We will beat them in
every good thing, the Lord and the
brethren being our helpers. The

portion of Kentucky South Of The

by this arrangement tho value Of

Trasical Affair In Missouri.

A correspondent Of the New York

says:
A tragical affair occurred hero on
Sunday, 2Sth inst. About ten clock,
A NJ, four men came into GraAby
on foot, without baggage of any
kind; they were shabby dressed,
and three Of them were armed with
two reviewers each -one with a
Sharpe's rifle. An hour afterwards
Alfred Bryson, a citizen Of CRANKY,
returned here from MaysviIle, Ark.
One of the U, s. Deputy Marshals
or Arkansas gave Bryson a deserip-
ton Of four horse thieves, answering
to the description of these men pre-
cisely. Their conduct during the
whole day being suspicious, about
five o'clock the citizens determined
on arresting them. For this purpose
a number of citizens repaired TO the
CRANKY House and informed the
men TINT they intend to arrest them.
Three of them quietly surrendered,
but the fourth drew revolver, cock
ed, backed into a corner, and raised
it to fire. but L. NJ, Lewis, Deputy
Sheriff, fired and Killed him Instant
Is. The other three said it was all
light, that he was desperate, Next
morning they cofessed they were
horses thieves, and hat been in Kan
sas. They are from Tennessee. The
man killed had on his person 81 ,008
two revolvers, and u memoranda
book. The other three were pinion-
ed aud started for Kansas in chqrge
of three Of our citizens. They
would not give their names. The
deceased 5 name is supposed to have
been George Page; that was the name
in his memoranda book.

lately seen Chicago through peculiar
spoctacles:
Chicago is busting city. Il was
formerly in Illinois, but now Illinois
is IN it. Lake Michigan is situated
on Chicago. The principle produc.
tons Of Chicago are corner lots,
statistics, winds, the Democratic
Press, and Long John Wentworth,
Tho population of Chicago is about
sixteen millions, and is rapidly in
creasing" The people are very I'M
assuming and moral--umost too
much so, Tho real estate dealers
are all honorable men, like Bruius,
and wouldn't tell lie for anything.
