An ArSaT at Rest.

Tie Albany Evening Journal remarks
that:
"There is one army which will never quit
Italy. It sleeps on its arms in an eternal
biVouac. New recruits join at an average Of
of thousand day. They are picked men,
the bravest in both armies-the foremost in
every battle. In u days Italy has been
strewn with twent5-seven thousand corpses-
poor fellows who sought an epaulet and found
a grave. A thousand marked the invasion of
Garibaldi. Nine hundred French and Sardi-
mans persisted at Montebello. Two thousand
Austrians perished on the same field. Two
hundred Zouayes were killed at Palestro-
AS many Sardinians died with them. -Four
hundred Austrians were drowned in the canal.
More than twenty thousand must have fallen
irf the action at Buffalora and Magenta"
The Journal then speaks by name of the
distinguished officers killed and wounded, ad-
ding
" But this is the fortunate of war; There
must be deaths, or there can be no promotion.
A dozen eager hands are ready to grasp the
baton as it falls from the hands of the dying
Marshal. A dozen hearts burn for the gold
epaulets whose last owner lies dead in the
ditch. From the General of Division down to
the sous-lieutenant, each finds his commanders
corpse e stepping stone to his own glory"

sHrNxsE SUGAR CAME.

We have scarcely seen a notice of how the
Chinese Sugar Cane Jared in the general frost
of the 5th uit At Jackson, Pennsylvania, it
bravely withstood the freeze, some of the
blades being slightly nipped, and little killed
outright. The Imphee, or African Cane,
stood the frost the best.
The Sorghum has beeen planted to some ex-
tent in the Lake counties, and we hear no
complaint of its injury by the frost. The
Medina Gazette states that the Hon. H. Can
field is making calculations to sweeten that
county this fall with Sorghum sugar and mo-
Iasses. He has sixteen acres looking finely
The molasses made by Nj. G. last fall is pro-
nounced by the Gazette better than the best
New Orleans and it improves by age.

Judges Pervertine History.

We have called attention, in another para
graph, to Judge Taney's scandalous perversior
of history in order to drag down a whole ract
to the views of few southern Shareholders
But there is another case, equally outrageous
to which we have once or twice called attention
but which is again brought to mind in the CO.
gent argument of Mr.. Wolcott. There is nc
/ lying like that which is done for purpose, by
grave and determined officials In the celebra-
ted Prigg case, which is the foundation of the
present reign Of terror in regard to slavery, the
judges lay down position, which is at the bot
tom of all their reasoning, as follows -
Historically it is well known that the object
of this clause (the clause for returning fugitives
from service was to secure to the slavehold-
ers the complete right and title to their slaves
as property in every State into which they
might escape" and "that the full recognition of
this right was so vital to the slaveholding States
that it constituted a. fundamental article auth
out the adoption Of tOtich the Union could not
haUe been formed"
1t will be remembered that Judge Mathews
made the same silly statement on our Court
House steps last fall, and that we then took oc-
easion to say that it was wholly gratuitous and
totally without foundation in truth. Mr.. VOL
colt justly says that it is impossible to feel res
pect for a court which is either grossly ignor-
ant of what every statesman ought to know, Or
which knowingly misstates the history of the
past. The proceedings Of the convention, as
stated in the Madison papers, show that the
clause for the rendition of fugitives from service
was the cause of no excitement whatever in the
convention that it was not in any of the orig
inal drafts referred to the committees; that it
was not in the constitution as reported to the
convention that it was not even thought Of
till a late period of the session and, when in
trodueed, was not debated at all, but silently
adopted as a matter of course, or matter of
little consequence. And yet grave Judges,
learned lawyers, and conspicuous stump orators
for slavery go about telling US that the rendi-
ton of slaves was point so vituI to the Slaue-
holding States that 1t constituted a fundamental
article 1Oithod iUhich the Union could not haze
been formed" and northern dough faces bolt
the dough without winking. -Neicark North

Advice About Teeth.

| DIR. Hayes, an eminent surgeon-dentiet resi-
i ding in London gives the following useful hints
about the case Of teeth. They are simple
| timely, and deserve attention:
In the first place, the teeth should be fairly
used. By this I mean; rot made to perform
the duties of crackers for nuts, experimental
on to ascertain their strength, or by ladies to
rival scissors in cutting thread for rest assured
in every case, more particularly the last
the party having recourse to such practices will
surely some day rue them; the teeth so hhwit-
tingly injured being always the first to part
company from their jaws. Those who indulge
in such or similar habits may be truly called
the dentists friends. Cleanliness is absolutely
essential for the preservation of the teeth, and
they should be well brushed at least morning
and evening, that any feculence which may be
attached to them, either during sleep from the
stomach, or by day from meals, may not be al
lowedspermanently to adhere, causing, firstly,
discoloration, then tartar, aud subsequently, if
l may SO express myself, undermining the con-
stitution of one or more, as from their position
they may be more or less liable to corrosion-
In order that the teeth should look natural
that is, retain their natural color-a dentifrice
free from the smallest particles of acid should
be used at the matin hour, and the mouth rims
ed with tepid water, for extremes of heat and
cold most highly prejudicial not only to their
color, but also to their durability and know
no method so simple of converting q really use
full and ornamental set into one of pain and
subsequent extinction, than the use of washing
in either one or the other. The person who
habituates him or herself, to any extent, to hot
soup, tea, or other drinks, assuredly rivals the
friend to the dentist just named. Brushes for
the teeth should be of medium substance of
bristfe, and those made on what is called the
penetrating principle are best. I would also
observe that children at an early age should be
instructed in the use of the toothbrush and
taught the value and importance of the teeth,
in order to ineulcate habits of cleanliness and
a due appreciation of the ornaments of the
mouth. A brush properly selected-not too
hard-may be used by children of five years of
age; every morning and by being part and
parcel of the general ablution, and thus direc-
ting habitual attention to the teeth, useful
and cleanly habit will be engendered which viii
probably insure for them proper care through
life

rHn DIVINE MERCY.

However old, plain, humble desolate, atfilct-
ed we may be- so long as our hearts reserve
the feeblest spark of life, they preserve also,
shiverine near that pale ember, starved ghost

To this attenuated spectre, perhaps a crumb

has forgot the dying tenant of decayed

and a shower of mamma falls for lips that earth

uMcoNsc1ous RoREs.

We have hearty sympathy for the men and
women who are bores, and who are ignorant Of
the fact There are bores who know themselves
such, and rather pride themselves on it. But
the class who are blind to the fact demands our
sympathy One never wishes to hurt their
feelings by informing them of their tedousness,
and they remain in the delightful illusion that
they are the most agreeable creatures extant.-
We rather incline to the opinion that it requires
smartness to be bore. We have seen great
many very clever men who were beyond cavil
very great bores in society. It not unfrequent-
1y occurs that one of studious habits unused to
mixing with the world, when brought in con-
tact with those of opposite tastes, renders himself
a bore by extreme anxiety to assimilate for the
time being with his companions Yet those
who hide yawn while he is present, and abuse
him for q bore after he has gone, seldom take
this into consideration.

oi The Sabbath is Gods special present to the
working man, and one of its chief objects is to
prolong his life, and preserve efficient his work
ing tone. In the vital system it acts like COM
peDsation pond it replenishes the spirits, the
elasticity, and vigor which the last six have
drained away, and supplies the force which is to
fill the six days succeeding /; and. in the economy
of existence, it answers the same purpose as, in
the economy of income, is answered by saw
ing bank. The frugal man puts away pound
to-day and another pound next month, and
he who, in quiet way, is putting by his stated
pound from time to time, when he grows old
and frsil, gets not only the same pound back
again, but a good many pounds besides. And
the conscientious man, who husbands one day
of his existence every week-who, instead of
allowing the Sabbath to be trampled and torn
In the hurry and scramble of life, treasures it
devoutly up, the Lord of the Sabbath keeps it
or him, and, in the length of days, the hale
old age gives it back with usury. The savings
bank of human existence is the weekly Sab
bath.-[Nort British Review.

An intense Heated Terra,

The weather has been excessively hot through
out California. The air at Santa Barbara was
a genuine Sirocco. A correspondent of San
Francisco paper, writing from there, says:
SAT one o'clock in the afternoon of the 18th
inst, burning wind came upon us from The
north west, and smote US with terror. AT 2 o.
clock the thermometer exposed to this wind
rose to 1873 degrees of Fahrenheit at o'clock
it had fallen to 122 degrees, and at o'clock it
stood at II degrees, where it had been in the
morning.
sDuring the whole duration of this visitation
every one staid within doors, taking good care
to keep doors and windows closed.
"a fisherman who was out at sea came back
with his arms all bfistered. Many calves, rab-
bits and birds died of sufocation.
'The greatest losses are among the vegeta-
bles the fruit trees are all burned the pears
and apples have been literally cooked
In Sacramento the thermometer for ten days
rarely fell below 100 degrees, and often reach
ed LOG.
The heat at Timbuctoo, Yuba county, caus-
ed the thermometer to rise to l21 degrees on
the % inst.
At Ophir, the thermometer stood at ia in
the shade, for three consecutive hours. AT
Gold Hill, it was 1l6. At Maine Bar, on the
American river, I20. AT Mountain Springs,
ITO. The mercury ranged about 10 higher
than the above figures, when the thermometer
was placed in frame building. On Thursday
however, we were blessed with little less heat;
! and as we write FRIDAY afternoon) the mercury
is only up to 99-and all hands enjoying the
cool weather immensely.
| On Sunday, the mercury rose to 100 in the
coolest part of San Andreas on Monday to
| 109-standing at that point for over two hours;
on Tuesday by IL A. NJ, it reached LOG; by l
P. NJ, 108 by 4 P. NJ, 11O on Wednesday
at IL A NJ, lO8 2 P. NJ, 112.
On Wednesday last, the thermometer IN Ben
ieia stood at 102 deg, and on Friday at 101
deg:
In Oroville, the weather dtfing the past week
has been decidedly warm, the thermometer in
the courthouse ranging lilo, and in Wells, Far
go & Co.'S Express Office as high as 114 deg.
| The hottest weather ever known in the State
says the Shasta Courier, has been experienced
during the past week: In some places in brick
buildings, the mercury rose to 1l8 deg.
On Thursday, the 23d inst, the heat between
the StaniBaus and Tuolumne rivers was eXces
sive. The thermometer was l3 degrees in tht
shade. The wind was avoided, as it was heat
ed so that it felt as if actually burning th'
flesh.
The last four or five days, says the Trinit.
Journal, have been hotter than ever befor
known here. On Tuesday the mercury reaches
l1O deg. in the shade; on Wednesday LOG, AM
on Thursday los deg,
The heat has never been more oppressive a

past two days. The thermometer has ranges
in the middle of the day from Ito to 118 deg.

rnonAB1Ezrx OF MARRYING.

al A table inserted in paper in the Assurance
Magazine, exhibits results Of a rather start
ling character. In the first two quinquennial
periods, 20 25 and % 80, the probability of
widower marrying in year is three times as
great as that of q bachelor at 80 is nearly
four times as great; from 30 to 45 is five times
as great and increases till at so the chance of
a widower marrying in a year is eleven times as
great as that of bachelor. 1t is curious to
remark, from this table, how confirmed either
class becomes in its condition of life-hew lit
tie likely, after few years, is a bachelor to
break through his settled habits and solitary
condition !; and, on the other hand, how readi-
IL in proportion does husband contract a sec
ond marriage who has been deprived premature
ly of his first partner After the age of so, the
probability of bachelor marrying in year di-
1ninishes in most rapid ratio. The probabili-
ty at 80 is not much more than half at 30, and
nearly the same proportion exists between each
auinquennial period afterward.

them, with bottle of wine standing be for
each cover, they felt very grateful to his excel
lency, and very proud at the same time be
cause of the honor shown to the representatives
Of their village. But when each of them
found double Frederick's dor under his plate
their enthusiasm burst out afresh, and many
were the healths drunk to the welfare Of Old
Father Blucher
When they had all eaten and drunk their fill
and were about to take their leave, they fell in
once more with their friend, the middle-aged Of
fcer, who gave them some advice concerning
the best way of reaching the village without
running any danger; for, as be said, the COM
ing day would be an eventful one. He accom-
panied them through the yard to the gateway,
where he bade them farewell, pointing, as he
left, to one of the hussars who was mounting
guard on horseback before the gate.
1t was their prisoner, the boy Charles, now
fully pardoned by his excellency, the comman-
derin-ehief. How proud he looked, with flush
ed cheeks and sparkling eyes He dared not
address them, for be was on duty; but he
looked at them. as much as to say: "Wait
and you shall see to morrow !"
Nor was he faithless to the VOW. On the
evening of the following day the memorable
26th of August, the bloody victory at Katz-
bach was gained, and the ield-marshal rode
through the thinned ranks of his men, who
greeted him with enthusiastic cheers, when he
was addressed by the commander of the 21st
hussars, who reported how greatly the private,
Charles Fisher, had distinguished himself above
all the rest, having taken a standard from the
enemy, and made prisoner, with his own hands,
the commander of the French regiment.
The feld-marshall stopped his horse and ia
king the iron cross from his own uniform, and
affxing it with his own hands, to the breast of
the young man, said, with cheerful voice, and
with that same expression in his large, bright
eyes I" Well done, my son! I knew I was

Kidnapping Whites in NTississippis

a dispatch was received here from jackson,
from Richard Cooper, Esq, the District At
torney, ordering the arrest of A. K. Burks,
on the charge of Kidnapping. He was accor-
dinghy arrested at the Washington Hotel, to-
gether with woman and one child. An ex-
animation was had before the mayor on yester-
day afternoon, at which Charles L. Buck, and
f. G. Walker, Esqs., appeared for the prose
cution, and Gov. Foote and Col. T. S. Martin
for defense. It was proved by Mr.. Garter, of
Neshoba county. that the woman and her three
children were free persons, Of white and Indi
an blood, ard that they were kidnapped by
Burks after repeated declarations Of his deter
mination to do so. He sold one of the chill
dren in jackson, to Mr.. James A Horne
for $500; one of them had disappeared, fol-
which he could not account, and the other was
with its mother in court. Mr.. Carter and Mr.
Bucks had told him that it was no harm to sci
them. as free Africans were being brought il
and sold. He offered to divide WITH Mr. C.
provided he would assist in the disposal o
them. This Mr.. G. refused, and testified tha
they were forcibly taken away before hi
eyes, the woman and children pleading to re
main.
Mr.. J. Fl. johnson testified that the accuses
endeavored to raise money on them, claimin,
them as his property.
After argument by the counsel, the mayo
ordered him to give bail in the sum of $500
for his appearance before the circuit court no,
in session. Failing to give the requisite bal
he was lodged in Jail. The circumstances a
tending this case are most atrocious, accordin
to the testimony of Mr.. Garter, but as the az
cused had no witnesses, nor made any effort I
: obtain them on this examination, we sha
5 await the progress of the case in the crimini
! court.
The mayor, feeling fully satisfied that th
r woman and her children were not slaves, bein
descendants Of white woman, allowed thel
y to go free. This is what we call re-openin

Settling the Slavery Questions

The bogus democracy want to elect their
President next year-for what, do you sup
pose? Why, to settle the slavery question =
That is the cry with these political hypocrites
on the eve of etert Presidential election
But what pure CANNON What utin1itigHted

Now, if tie Democracy have not settled the
slavery question yet, although they hare been
in power all the time, had they not better quit
trying? After an attempt of ten Or twenty
years, they have not only failed to settle it, but
have broken themselves into as many pieces as
there are States in the Union. But we do not
now believe there is a man in the Union who
sincerely believes that the Democracy can set
tie the slavery question or waut it settled. II
fact they are the only persons who have evel
unsettled it. Away with their Hypocrisy

THE rroruza uaozDs THE MAN.

That it is the mother who molds the man, is
a scntfment beautifully illustrated by the fol-
lowing recorded observation of a shrewd wrl-
ter g When lived among the Choctaw lndi-
ans, I held consultation with one OF their
chiefs respecting the successive stages of their
progression IN the arts OF clvlilzed me ia ano, q;
their start they fell into great nistake-they
only sent boys to school, These boys came
home intelligent men, but they married unedu-
Gated and uncivilized wives-and the uniform
result was the children were all like their
mothers. The father soon lost all his interest
in both wife and children. And now,'' said he,
ssif we would educate but one class of our chill
dren, we should choose the girls, for when they
become mothers they educate their sons. =
This is the point and it is true. No nation
can become fully enlightened, when mother
are not in good degree qualified to discharge
the duties of the home work Of education.
