WHAT A JEALOUS WOMAN DID BEFORE SHE
FAYTED.--In Milwaukee, Wis, last week, a
lady returning from a morning drive, on ap-
preaching the room usually occupied by herself
and husband, heard voices. She stopped, list
ened, placed her eye to the key hole, and saw,
to her horror, woman standing on the floor,
and her husband in the same room, fixing a
shawl over her shoulders. Enraged at the
infdelity of her husband, she went to the hall,
took down a loaded shot gun, returned, cooked
the gun, opened suddenly the door, and delib-
erately shot the strange woman in the back.
Her husband screamed, when the excited and
abused wife tainted. On having returned to
consciousness, she learned that the woman who
had supplanted her in the affections of Mr..
-, was one of those frames for exhibiting
shawls and mantillas on, which he had that
morning brought up from the store to have
retrimmed by his wife, in her usual tasty style.
Not finding his wife in, he was looking at the
figure, and fixing it up as a surprise for her,
when her sudden Jealousy like to have cost him
his life.

SOLDIERS OF THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR;
The Pension Office had upon its rolls, on the
3Oth of June, 1858, the names of two hundred
and ffty-thrce revolutionary soldiers. Of this
small remnant of heroes, information has been
received that during the succeeding half year
forty-six went to their long account, leaving,
upon the first day of the present year, two hun
dred and seven survivors. The ages of some
Of these soldiers are stated to have been from
one hundred to one hundred and three years.
Thus is dwindling away the small number Of
that gallant band which has come down to us
from former generations, to pass forever from
the earth before this generation shall have fin
ished its work.
At the period above referred to, there were
four thousand two hundred and nine widows of
revolutionary soldiers upon the pension rolls,
and in six months, death diminished that num-
Der by two hundred and ninety-6ve. Of those
living at the beginning of this year, forty five
were wives of revolutionary soldiers before the
termination of the great struggle.

OUR onrrp.-we believe in small farms and

OUR CREED.-We believe in small farms and
thorough cultivation.
We believe that soil loves to eat as well as
its owner, and ought therefore to be manured.
We believe in large crops, which leave the
land better than they found it-makiDg both
the farmer and the farm rich at once.
We believe in going to the bottom of things,
and therefore in deep plowing, and enough of
it. All the better if with a sub-soil plow.
We believe that every farm should own a
good farmer.
We believe that the best fertilizer Of any soil,
is spirit of industry, enterprise, and intelli-
gence-without this, lime and gypsum, bones
and green manure, mari and guano, will be Of
little use.
We believe in good fences, good barns, good
farm houses, good stock, good orchards, and
children enough to gather the fruit.
We believe in clean kitchen, neat wife in
it, a spinning piano, clean cupboard, clean
dairy, and clean conscience.
We firmly disbeIieve in farmers that will not
improve; in farms that grow poorer every
year; in starveling cattle; in farmers boys
turning into clerks and merchants; in farmers
daughters unwilling to work, and in all farm
ers ashamed Of their vocation, or who drink
whisky until honest men are ashamed of them.

Mr.. GREELEY ON P1KE's PEAK AND THE
Rocky yMopNTAINs.- The Tribune publishes
the following note from Mr.. Greeley 10
friend in New York;
DENVER CITY, ROCKY MOUNTAINS,
June 10, 1859. J
am here in the vicinity of the gold Dig
gings, nearly half way across the continent,
but not half way through my Journey l
have A lame leg, caused by an upset in the
Express wagon, which has bothered me q
good deal, and will keep me here for the next
week, but am going now to devote myseii
to curing it. UP to this time, have mad no
chance, have been riding almost constantly
since my accident, and have spent the last
three days in climbing the Rocky Mountains
and looking through the new Gold Digglngs,
and my conviction is that there is no mistake
about It. There is gold here but it is harder
to get it by digging than almost any oIneI
way. a few will make fortunes mere, Wnile
many will lose all, and go away utterly panK-
rupt.
But the glorious Rocky Mountains are them
selves worth visit. They are not range
merely, but chaos of mountains three fun-
dred miles broad, with their forks, their snowy
peaks their grassy hill sides, their ravines, and
their glorious forests. Such clean sweet miles
on miles of fragrant, softly whispering pines,
you never imagined. Tho air Is gloriously
pure, the hillsides dotted with springs, the
ravines musical with running streams that
never dry up. I wish had one friend to go
through with me, have hitherto had COM
pany; henceforth 1 suppose must travel alone.

THE Finance Committee reported last even
ing in favor of giving the City Printing to
the Gazette, although the Press was the low
est bidder. There is an old saying that kiss
ing goes by favor, and the Committee have
made the maxim good. The printing in Ger
man has been awarded to the Volksblatt.
We do not wish to be captious about this mat
ter, as the profits of city advertising are in
fnitesimal, but only notice the fact in or
der to show the manner in which the public
money is expended. The bids show for
themselves which is the lowest, and the Com
nittee did not make the slightest exertion in
ascertaining which bid was the best--in other
words, which paper had the largest circula-
ton, and with which class of the community
that circulation was extended.

GINSENG EXCITEMENT IN MINREsoTA.-The
people of Minnesota are working themselves up
to fever heat over the discovery of mine of
ginseng they have recently discovered. The
disgers of this precious article, it is said, are
earning from one to five dollars a day. This
article is root which is exported to China,
where it is valued at its weight in gold. 1t is
considered the grand specific there, and is
chewed, as savage nations chew tobacco. The
market price at the Minnesota diggings is ten
cents pound There is said to be greater
demand for it in China at present than usual.
The st. Paul Times thinks it will prove a source
of considerable profit to the people of Minnesota,
as there is no danger of the market being over
stocked, and as there is an inexhaustible sup
ply of it.

Arctic Explorations.

A correspondent of the New York Herald
says:
I rejoice to see that you very kindly gave
space to u communication calling attention to
the highly important question whether there is
an open Polar Sea or not, and urging our mer
chant princes to place at the disposal of the
noble hearted Dr. Hayes the necessary amount
for an expedition which shall verify the state
ments made by the late immortal Kane. Al
low me to state in connection with this the i'm
portant fact that one of the most distinguished
living geographers-Mr. De La Rognette, of
Paris-has addressed a letter to a gentleman
connected with the Geographical Society of
this city, shd of which translation was pub
lisbed in February last, wherein Mr.. De La
Rognette requested to be placed on the sub
scrption list for that expedition with the sum
of five hundred francs ($100 in our American
money! This shows not only an appreciation
of the scheme, but also faith in the proposed
commander, DR.. Hayes, who seems to be so
emnently fitted for this undertaking. not only
by his deep scientific attainments, but by the
vast amount Of experience which he has ac-
quired in the late Arctic expedition.
At the conclusion of that eloquent discourse
delivered last winter by DR.. Hayes, before the
American Geographical Society, a committee
was appointed to cooperate with DR.. Hayes,
Arctic expedition, and this committee need
only be reused to proper action, and I am
fully convinced that not only the merchant
princes of New York, but Of the whole country,
will cheerfully come forward and place, as
usual, ample means at the disposal of the
committee.
1. I. Hayes, M. D., was the Surgeon of the
second Grinnell expedition in search of Sir
John Franklin, in 1858, "a and '55. He was
the friend and cO-operator of DR.. Kane, and
ever proved himself remarkable man and
excellent officer.
The great problem of DR.. Kane's should be
committed to DR.. Hayes to work out The
United States should contribute literally to-
ward the advancement of Arctic discoveries.
In no direction does the eye of wonderment
turn more readily than to the unknown North.
There, around the Northern axis, are millions
of square miles of open Polar Sea, ice-ribs, and
land yet undiscovered. Let the United States
Government be the first to plant her flag upon
the North Pole. Americans can do it-and
'ciU. DIR. Hayes, count us one of the Amer
ican Arctic Expedition now fitting out.

Vicious ANIMALS AT LARGE.-Improbabl as
1t may appear, Coroner's Jury has done its
duty at last. A child in the street at Albany
was kicked by horse--a bad horse, whose
vicious propensities his owner knew-and so
severely injured that in few minutes the little
fellow died. The jury looked into the case
carefully; heard the plain story of the witnesses;
learned that the horse was running loose in the
street, and that he had once before badly
kicked boy read the statute, and then
brought in their verdict, finding the owner Of
the animal guilty of manslaughter in the third
degree. The man was arrested, taken to jail,
bailed out, and his case will now go to the
Grand Jury.

Mr.. Albert Cotterel, in a communication to
the Newport Advertiser, makes the statement
that the earth is the center of the system, and
the sun and moon revolve around it, much more
eisurely than is generally supposed. He cuts
down the size of the sun to a diameter of 30S
miles, and allows to the moon 200 miles. For
merly he admits that he allowed the sun 200
miles; and he gives no reason for this enor-
nous reduction. Mr.. Cotterell denies the di-
urnal revolution of the earth, and says that it
moves only at the moderate rate of go miles a
day. He admits, however, ga side roll of 2215
degrees back and forth, north and south, every

The PUBLIC PAINTING AND THE CRY CoUN-
crL.-It will be seen by referring to our Council
report, that the City Council last evening
awarded the public printing to the Gazette and
to the VolksbIatt, in direct and flagrant viola
ton of right and justice. The bid of the
Press was just one-third lower than that of the
Gazette, and yet by disgraceful political CHI
canery it was awarded to the latter paper.
Nor was the Press alone in the field. The
Enquirer also bid lower than tho paper that
received the award, and the Gazette, instead of
being the lo,cest, was actually the very highest
in their bid. With these facts staring them in
the face, Mr.. weasner and Mr.. Davis, and
other members of the Finance Committee, have
the boldness and effrontery to recommend
to the City Council the awardal of
a contract to partizan sheet, knoloing they
were not acting in accordance with the law in
such cases made and provided. They rejoiced
in their strength, and secuted at the idea that
any other than the Gazette should receive the
award; and with triumphant sneers proclaimed
that now the Opposition were in power, they
would use that power to the advantage of their
friends. Out upon such political huckstering,
say we. We have not subserved those gentle
mems interests, but have been independent in
our course, asking and receiving favors from
none, serving no cliques or factions but the
public at large. The Press is peoples paper,
and not the paper of party. Hence no
matter how just our claim, it must be ignored
in favor of others who have been more plant to
the will of these dignitaries.

A bill is now before the Philadelphia Coun-
ellis providing for the sale of bread by weight
instead OF by the lump. 1t is bitterly opposed
by many of the bakers, who appear to claim
some peculiar right to exemption from regu-
lations to which farmers, grocers, and other
merchants and tradesmen, must submit for pub
lie protection. Not only the weight of bread,
but the quality of Ingredients used in baking,
should be matter of legal regulations. Hon
est bakers do not use unwhOlesome ingredients,
but that some purchase sour aud musty -four,
and "cure" it by unhealthy ingredients is en-

And sees the golden time return.
But ever near Us. silent, cold.

With eager hearts, like US, and sank
Because their feet were over-bold.
They sank thro' breathing-holes of vice,
Through treacherous shecns of vice
They know not their despair and grief,
Their hearts and minds are turned to ice
