Last evening the "Americus" Lodge
Of Sons of Malta, in this city, were in
full transaction of business, when a
laundering alarm came to the door. 1t
was soon discovered that posse of about
fifty ladies had stormed the outworks
and summoned the brethren to surren-
der. The working tools were concealed,
and the sacred mysteries of the order
shrouded from protane eyes, after which
the ladies were admitted. After short
complimentary speeches on either side,
the ladies prevailed on the brethren to
adjourn to the Athenium, where colla-
ton, followed by dance, wound up the
business Of the night.-Cleueland Her

Gait an Indication of Character.

Observing persons move slow-thei1
heads move alternately from side to side,
while they occasionally stop and turn
round Careful persons lift their feet
high, and place them down fatand firm.
Sometimes they stoop down, pick up
some little obstruction and place it
quietly by the side of the way Calcu-
lating persons generally walk with their
hands in their pockets, and their heads
slightly inclined. Modest persons
generally step softly for fear of being
observed. Tinid persons often step off
from a sidewalk, on meeting another,
and always go round a stone instead of
stepping over it. Wide awake persons
''toc out, and 'havea gswing to their
arms, while their hands shake about
miscellaneously Careless persons are
forever stubbing their toes. Lazy per-
sons scrape about loosely, with their
heels, and are first on one side of the
walk and then on the other Very
strong minded persons have their toes
in front of them, and have a
kind of stamp movement. Unstable
persons walk fast and slow by turns
Venturous persons try all roads,
climb the fences instead Of
going through the gate, and never let
down bar. One idea persons and very
selfish persons ''toe in.'' Cross persons
are apt to hit their knees together
Good -natured persons snap their thumb
and finger every few steps. Fun-loving
persons have kind of jig. movement.

Kansas to be Kept out OF the Union.

Kansas to be Kept out Of the Union. 3
Hon Schuyler Colfax, M.C., from the
Ninth District of Indiana, writes to his
paper, the South Bend Register, as fol-
lows, in regard to the admission of Kan
sas: S.. slgfat-ea sg4tses=jH sIs J
"I regret to say that it looks probable
that the Democratic majority in the Sem
ate will resist the admission of Kansas
into the Union, although all parties in
that Territory participated in the cleo
tion of Delegates to the Constitutional
Convention, in framing the Constitution
itself, in voting on its adoption, and in
electing the State Government under it.
Of course, all sorts of pretexts will be
alleged for this rejection. But the real
reason is that it is to enter the Union a
decided Republican State, in spite Of all
their efforts to the contrary, to strengthen
the Republican phalanx in the Senate
two votes in the great contest of 1860"

cording to De Sauty, it will be "allright;;"
in the center of the Great Sahara Desert,

MR.. TAYLoR's REPLY.

UTICA, N. Y, Feb. 90, 1860.
Sir: acquit you of intentional dis
courtesy, though my own standard of
good breeding would lead me to omit
such insinuations of infdelity, spiritual
ism, and free-love as you have seen fit
to pply to me. From the tenor of your
letter, am not so much surprised that
you should see nothing insulting in the
attempt to subject free man to censor
ship, not only Of speech but of thought.
It astonishes me, nevertheless, to hear
from you that Washington opinions on
Slavery we're contrary to Scripture and
Reason n'-that Jefferson if now living,
"would not be welcome visitor to a
Virginia community l find, in a
history of Virginia, written by yourself,
this declaration: ''The last and most
important cause, unfavorably affecting
Virginia, which we shall mention, is the
existence of Slavery within her bounds"
and also this: awe apprehend that,
in general, the people of Virginia hold
Slavery to be an enormous evil, bearing
with fatal power upon their prosperity"

Feeding Cattl'

sIt's better to feed cattle two or three

Feeding Cattle. ....s
"sIt's better to feed cattle two or three
times day in winter"
Three times. For when cattle are
turned into good pasture, they soon eat
their fill, and then lie down to chew their
cuds. This they will do from three: to
five times day, if the weather be cool
and the flies do not trouble them. When
left to take their own course in the mat
ter, they act according to natures teach
ing By this we may learn that they
require feed at least three times day.
If fed but twice day, they must either
be fed so that portion of food will be
left lying before them after they are sat
isfed; or, if fed only as much as they
will eat up clean, they must suffer in
convenience from hunger before the next
feeding time. Cattle, when fed more
than they can eat at once, leave the
coarser portions, and will not eat until
pressed by want. Better feed five times
a day than but twice, Cleanliness and
are indispensable, let the feed
ings be few or many.-M. Garnsey: q,

DIR. Cahill, in letter to the Dublin
Telegraph, speaks of the generosity of
Irish servant girls here in sending money
to their relatives in the old country. He
has visited the different Offices in this
city for the transmission of money to
Ireland, and from the statistics thus OBJ
tained estimates that during the year,
1859, the Irish servant maids now work
ing in New York and Brooklyn, have
sent to their parents, brothers and sisters,
the enormous sum of one million three
hundred and fifty thousand dollars.

had but little pasture land to. spare, but
the half of a very large, ttle.house was
unoccupied, and he had almosta supers

house with straw, he placed lines along
the posts to prevent the sheep getting
into the feeding troughs,, andthen turned
the 100 sheep in, for about three months,
The result he was unable to report ac-
curately, but was much surprised, at the
small quantities of tsraips the sheep
consumed, and by the great mount of
valuable manure which Eas iSsade. The
sheep sold, moreoEeF, for about 80 per

Woman In Male Attire Chases False
Officer McCarty, whoais stationed at
the Central depot, Chicago, arrested a
woman dressed in male attire, at the
Mossasoit House ON Thursday She
goes by the name of Charley Smith, and
is a good looking American woman,
about twenty y-nine years of age. She
was dressed in greyish coat, dark pants,
velvet vest, and wore a black, Kossuth
hat Her black hair was cut short, and
but for her voice her disguise would
have been perfect. f44 #
She belongs in Macon county, near
Monticello, where she has friends living,
but no parents. Her name she refused
to give. She says she has been married
before, and has a boy eight years of age
at school in Decatur. 4 Her husband is
dead. Last summer she became ac-
quainted with a man who lived in Macon
county, and he promised to marry her.
Some time since, however, he went to
McHenry county to get work, and from
that time until the present she had heard
nothing from him. Believing him to be
false to his word, she donned male attire
and set out to find him. She accord
ingly took the train on the [. c. R.. R.;
arriving at Chicago, she put up at the
Massasoit House, intending to go on to
McHenry county. Unfortunately for
her project, man on board the train
who had known her before, recognized
her, and pointed her out to the officers
who arrested her.-Chicago Journal.
