GUS act to cut of . dogs tail. With his
tail dog expresses not only gratitude,
as Fido did, but hope, entreaty compli.
auce. affection, love, obedience, wrath,
shame, defiance, fear .ad frolic. It is
clear, then, that in depriving the dog Of
his tail you deprive him of an organ ol
of speech.

Some Virginan fools have lately threatened
to dissolve the Union in case the elections in this
quarter should go against their friends. They
seem to have forgotten that only the other day
seventeen white men and five negroes were able
to conquer the whole of that great State, and
brighten its people so that they have not yet re-
covered their senses .-T'ribune.
The New York Herald thinks the Harper S
Ferry affair has ERASED Ned, and turned up
Jack generally. 1t says, ga whirlwind has
passed over the Republican party, upsettlng all
its plans and burying all Its leaders, The
New York election showed that a few of the
people were still left, Mr. Herald. The Herald
also thinks Mr.. Buchanan the only available
candidate for President In 1860, and says that
no other Democrat can beat the Republicans in
1860.

A WoMAN's HEART IN THE RIGHT PLAcE.-In
the course of Wendall Phillips lecture on
the Harper's Ferry affair, in Henry Ward
Beecher church, Nov. LIST, he gave the follow
ing beautiful sketch:
" We stereotype matters into intellect and
then into statues, and finally into national
character. We have got the first stage of the
growth. Why, the first person who came to
me IN Boston after the news of John Brown 8
Incarceration, was Lydia Maria Child, popu-
lar authoress of New England twenty-five years
ago. She says that dung on is the place for me.
She writes a letter couched in magnanimous
appeal to the better nature of Gov. Wise. She
says in 1t, John Brown is "a hero he has done
IA noble deed. think he was all right but be
is sick; be is wounded he wants woman s
nursing am an abolitionist; / have been SO
thirty years. think Slavery sin and John
Brown saint; but want to come and nurse

his prison door will use the privilege under
sacred honor, only to nurse him. | inclose you
a message to Brown; be sure and deliver it. -
And the message was, e Old man, God bless you
You have struck noble blow; you have done
a mighty work; God was with you; your
heart was in the right place send you across
five hundred miles the pulse of woman graf

and announced to the world that she may GO

Illinois, who has been largely concerned in
the business, (having sold six thousand dol
lars worth of milk in single year, informs
the Country Gentleman that he made accu-
rate experiments to test the comparative val

years, were accompanied with an accurate
weighing and measuring, and the food was
changed, timothy to clover, and race ucrSa,

generally composed of coal-tar mixed with
saw-dust and coal-dust, all heated together
and then pressed into square blocks. Fine
coal and sawdust that would otherwise be
considered waste, arc thus converted into a
useful fuel, capable of being packed neatly
and carried to any distance Scientific
