Office of the Illinois Central railroad, Chi
cago, committed suicide in Hannibal
Missouri, on Friday night week, by ia
king morphine. Domestic difficulty is
said to have led to this uuhalowed
taking off. He had separated from hia
wife, to whom he had been married if
teen years, and who had borne him sew
enteen children, says IN exchange, seven
teen children in fifteen years is quite
enough for man to commit suicide
No wonder he had domestic difficult

GA correspondent Of the Fountain
Qnd.) Ledger says that the jaw'bone of
monster was found in Little Shawnee Creek,
in that county, recently. It is thus describ
ed
The bone found is three feet long, twelve
inches wide at the broadcast part, and four by
seven inches at the smallest part; has two
perfect teeth, one fou. and half by nine in
ches, the other four and half by FIVE and O
half. The jaw-bone is perfectly petrifed
To have completed the half circle, it would
have required it to be fotr feet, three inches
long. It has the appearance Of once having
tusk two inches in diameter, as just above
the curve is an opening that clearly marks
the point Of it's connection to the jaws. The
jaw. bone found belonged TO the left side.-
The teeth are perfectly sound, and indicate q
earDiverous animal.

Total,

It is seen that the area OF Kansas is nine.
teen thousand square miles greater than that
Of all New England, New York, and New
Jersey and that the area Of Nebraska is
ninety-five thousand miles greater than that
of the non slave.holding States, except Cali
fornia. Oregon is nearly equal in extent to
all New England, New York, Pennsylvaniu.
Ohio and Indiana. 1t is possible that New
Mexico and Mesilla will be embraced in one
Territorial organization by Congress at the
present session, containing two hundred and
eighty-eight thousand square miles OF terri.
tory, exceeding that Of all New England,
New York, Pennsy lvania, Ohio. Indiana and
Illinois. Utah is nearly equal in extent to
all New England, New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio. Washington exceeds in extent
all New England and New York.
If the Territories should be cut up into
States Of the average size Of the present
States, the Union would consist, when they
should all be admitted, Of between sixty and
seventy members. 1t is not likely this will
be done but as Texas will probably be di.
vided into three States, and Nebraska into
three more, the Union will, when all the ter.
ritory now belonging to Us shall be erected
into States, consist of at least fifty members.
What future do these facts and figures
present to the Imagination 1t is, indeed,
almost impossible to conceive the condition
of this Republic half century hence, if it's
inhabitants continue true to themselves and
to the Union. We have only commenced
our career as q nation, and yet how mighty
are our resources Less than century has
gone by since the Declaration Of Indepen.
dence was promulgated, and the thirteen
original colonies have increased and multi
piled to a truly amazing extent. All that
is wanted to give the Great West a new and
mighty impulse is the construction Of Q
railroad to the Pacific. But this work, &C
essential in many points of view to the ma
tional development, has been postponed BY
Cong ress, and is not likely to be consummo
ted for years. This is to be deplored, espe
cially as popular opinion Is nequivocally il
favor Of the early completion of the stipend
Gus enterprise. But even without railroad
the West will continue TO move forwart
with untiring energy, and not year will g
by for long period to come, without calling
into existence new States and Territories
The United States may be regarded as thu
COLOSSUS Of the nations of the New World
and huge as are our proportions at the pres
ent time, the indications ore that they viii
grow up with our growth, and strengthen
with our strength, until Mexico, Centra
America, and the Island Of Cuba nre annex
ed or absorbed. This prediction may seen
wild and extravagant, and yet It is probabl
that the child has been born who may live t
realize its fulfillment. AS one nation crum
bles to pieces another rises on its ruins
This has been realized again and again il
, the Old World, and as like causes produc
like effects, similar changes will, in tn
course of time, no doubt take place in tn

Sflisttllaueous,
A Good Joke.

A number Of politicians, all of whom were
seeking office under government, were seat
ed on tavern porch talking, when an old
topper, named John D., person who is very
loquacious, when corned, but exactly oppo.
site when sober. said that if the company had
no objections he would tell them story
They told him to ''fre awsy," whereupon he
spoke as follows:
A certain king--[ don't recollect his name
had a philosopher upon whose judgment
he always depended. Now, it 80 happened
that one day the king took it into his head to
20 hunting, and summoned his nobles.--
Moking the necessary preparations. he sum-
moned the philosopher and told him it would
rain. The philosopher told him it would not
and he and his mobiles departed. While jour
neying along they met q countryman mount
ed on jackass. He advised them to return,
"for it certainly will rain," soid he. They
smiled contemptuously upon him and passed
on. Before they had gone many miles, how
ever, they had reason to regret not having
taken the rustic's advice, as heavy shower
coming up; they were drenched to the skin
When they had returned to the palace the
king reprimanded the philosopher severely.
"I met countryman," said he, "and hi
knows a great deal more than you, for HI
told me 1t would roin, whereas you told mi
it would not"
The king then gave him his walking pa
pers and sent for the countryman, who soo'
made his appearance.
"Tell me how you knew it would rain,
said the king.
IL didn't know, my iackass told me-" sal
the rustic.
Sand how, pray, did he tell you," aske
the king.
"By pricking up his ears, your mejesty''
returned the rustic.
The king sent the countryman away, an
procuring che jackass OF him, he placed hin
the jsckass, in the Office the philosopher ha
filled.

friendship.

A beautiful paragraph on Friendship oc'
ours in late number of the North Amsri4
can Reuiew. "One of the hardest trials"--
says that periodcal--''o those who fall
from affluence and honor to poverty and OBJ.
security, is the discovery that the attachment
of so many in whom they confded, was q
pretence, mask to gain their own ends, or
was miserable shallowness. Sometimes.
doubtless, it is with regret these frivolous
followers of the world desert those upon
whom they have fawned; but they soon for
get them. Flies leave the kitchen when
the dishes are empty. The parasites that
cluster about the favorte of fortune, to ga
ther his gifts and climb by his aid linger
with the sunshine. but scatter at the approach
of storm, as the leaves cling to tree I'M
summer weather, but drop off at the breath
of winter, and leave it naked to the stinging
blast. Like Ravens settled down for bans
quet, and suddenly scared by horse, who
fly quickly,at the first calamity, these superfs
cal earthlings are mere specks on TIE lIorf-
zon But true friend sits in the centreS
and is for all times. Our need only reveals
him more fully, and binds him, more closely
to us. Prosperity and adversely are both
revealers, the difference being that in the
former our friends know then. But not.
withstanding the insincerity and greediness
prevalent among men, there is vast deal
more Of esteem and fellow ysarning than is
ever outwardly shown.
| There are many examples Of unsdultera-
ted affection, more deeds Of silent love and
magnanimity than is usually supposed. Our
misfortunes bring to our sides real friends
before unknown. Benevolent impulsess
where we could not expect them, 10 modest
privacy, enact many scenes Of bssuslfuI
wonder amidst plaudits Of angels"
