Denominational Oxen in Texas.

Texas is a great State. 1t ba. not on
ly a large, growing, mixed population
every variety of climate and soil, game
and stock-but its very oxen have become
deuomiu atioDal, if not sectarian in name,
character, aud spirit. To proof of this
We give the following incident:
A minister travelling along the road
met stranger driving his wagon. which
was pulled by four oxen; as the minister
approached, be heard the driver say, Get
up, Presbyterian !' Gee Campbellite !!
"Haw Baptist p "Whst are you doing
Metbopist !" The minister, struck with
the siDgularity OF such names being given
to oxen, remarked =
STRANGER, you have strange names for
your oxen, and | wish to know Why they
had such names given to them"
The driver replied, Il call that lead OK
in front, Presbyterian, because he is true
blue, and never fails-he believes in pull.
ing through every difficult place, persever-
ing to the end, and then he knows more
than all the rest. The one by his side
call Campbellite; be does very we'll Wheu
you let him 60 his own way, until be sees
water, and then all the world could not
keep him out of it, and there be stands as
if his journey was ended. This of OK,
behind, is real Baptist, for be is all the
time after water, and will not eat with
the others, but is constantly looking, first
on one side, and then on the other. and
at everything that comes near bin. The
other which l call Methodist, makes a
great noise and a great to-do, and you
would think that be was pulling all crea-
ton, but he don't pull pound.
The minister having his curiosity graf
ifed with the explanation, rode on won
dering what be should next see and bear
in Texas. This is DO dream, but fact,
as We have heard it; nor are We infu-
enced by dyspeptic feeling, in telling our
readers the ecclesiastical relation of Tex
as oxen.--Ifue Witness.

The Lennon Case

The Court of Appeals adjourned yes

which we published yesterday, was one
affirming the judgement of the Supreme
Court in the Lennon case. Thus is set
tied the principle, in our highest Court,
that slaves cannot under our laws, if
brought to this State by their masters, be
held in servitude. The decision is one OF
principle merely, no individual right or in

Lennon was settled with years ago, be-
ing more than amply repaid the value of
his lost cbattles by subscription taken
up in New York. The State Of Virginia,
however. insisted on continuing the liti.

Animal Food.

DR.. Hays, in the "Arctic Boat Jour
ney," reports that the Esquimaux live
upon an exclusively animal diet, their
allowance of food being from twelve to
fifteen pounds, about one-third Of being
fat. The Doctor states that be has seen
an Esquimaux eat fully ten pounds ol
walrus flesh and blubber at a single meal,
after hunt, or when about to begin o
difficult journey. The large consumption
of hearty food is great shield against
the cold. White men in the Arctic re.
giouns are constantly craving a strong
animal diet, and will drink the contents
of an oilkettle With evident relish. A
choice Esquimaux lunch consists of raw
birds washed down with oil, and the great
luxury of the tribe is soup made by
boiling together blood, oil, and seal meat.

Inventions and Improvements are not
confined to Mechanics.

There are others not perhaps so out
spoken and noisy, that occupy deeper
strata ofsociety. whose improvements are
not less palpable, and whose silent in6u-
ence upon the comfort and happiness OF SO
ciety not less striking True, the advent
of sewing machine, reaper, or plow-
ing machue, which at once does the la
bor of score of hands. is an event so no.
table, an Improvement so manifest, that
all are impressed With its Importance
In almost all such cases the result Is
gained not so much by the discovery OF
new powers as by the new applicant and
combination Of those long known and un-
derstood. Whist is yet moro remarkable
is, that the new application is so simple
and efficient that we wonder it bad not
been thought of and applied long before.
Such were our reflections on seeing one
of Prof. Humphreys family cases of Spe-
ci6c Homeopathic Medicines. Compris-
ed in q small case, which is handsome
ornament for lady's table, you have
twenty specific remedies, appropriate
for almo,t every ailment or disease
which may occur in family. together
with concise little manual of directions
for reference and use The whole arrange
ment is implicitly itself, and the remedies
are SO arrapged and labelledthat any To-
selligent person may apply them at once
successfully, and thus. in the most impor-
tant sense, become their own physician
No accurate investigation OF study. no
balancing of probabilities, i, necessary
Here is the ailment, there the pleasant,
plum remedy. All this simplicity
and certainty is attained BY the mere
com animation of the best Homeopathic
Medicines according to Prof. Humphreys
theory and discovery. So simple and
com on sense, and yet SO efficient, does
the whole arrangement appear, and so OBJ
viously does it meet the wants of fami-
ly, that We wonder the profession bad not
long ago availed themselves of it, and that
jus. such simple and pleasant remedies
had not been given to the people long
go. If this new discovery and arrange
meut shall have the effect, which it prom
ises to do, of driving from use the de-
structive and deleterious drugs SO long in
vogue. and inducing reliance Oh nature
and such mild means, it must be consid.
cred one of the most important improve
ments Of the age, and one which suffer
ing and over-dosed world sadly require
