WELL THAT He DIED.-The Probate
Court at St. Louis, had case before il
once, of which we are reminded by the
extra charge Of 5000, made by the
executors OF the McMicken estate. The
will of a deceased man was offered 10
the Judge to be admitted to probate, and
among the bills presented against the
estate, was that of the physician who
attended him in his last illness. The
Judge, who was near-sig hted, scrutinizcd
the account closely, and while doing SO,
he raised his head occasionally aud IN
terrogated the Doctor as follows:
Judge-"Y on attended the deceased
Doctor-"Yes, sir"
Judge-"How long was he sick?"
Doctor-"Two weeks, sir"
Judge-"He died, did he?"
Doctor-"Yes, sir"
Judge-"It was we'll he did, for this
bill would have killed him."
1t was we'll Mr.. McMicken died, fol
the bill of his executors would most as
suredly have killed him. Gin. GAG.

The Moral Law Of Credit.

AS general rule for Just business
transactions, says the Boston Bulletin,
a person should never buy on credit
that which he consumes.
"A tanner may properly buy hides on
credit, tor his labor does not consume
them, but gives an additional value 10
them I; aud the shoemaker may bny
leather on credit, for his labor too add.
to its value. But when the shoemakc,
has worked up the leather, if he sell.
them on credit to customers, then Meth.
er toe shoemaker, nor tanner, nor seller
Of hides has any direct valuable security
for the debt, which has progressed ,hro'
the different parties. The final produc,
is destroyed by its purchaser So 9
farmer may buy land on credit, because
his labor on it adds to its value be may
purchase growing stock on credit, be-
cause his grass crop is improving it. But
when he goes to store to buy mer

the various classes of merchants who are

their want demands its employment. II

their labor, the debt is a blessing, and
for such result only is credit a useful

WeRIinR Rubber Shoes.

The tendency of India rubber shoes i.
to make the feet cold, and in such pro-
portion endauger the health; hence
they are useful onl y in walking, when
the ground is muddy or slushy with
melting snow-in these cases they are
invaluable, and there is no equal substi
tutc. Two rules should be observed,
whenever il is possible when rubbers are
on the feet, persons should keep moving,
and remove them on entering the house,
il it is intended to remain over a few
minutes. If the rubbers have been on
the feet several hours, both shoes and
stockings are necessarily damp by the
condensation and confinement of the
pcrspiration, therefore all should be re-
moved, and the naked foot held to the
fire until warm and dry in every part
if then pair Of dry stockings arc put
on and a pair of warm and loose slip
pers, or shoes, there will be feeling OF
comfort for the remainder Of the day.
which will mole than compensate for the
trouble taken, to say nothing of the
ailments averted. But it must not be
forgotten that as India rubber shoes are
impervious to water from without. and
ought to be worn ouly in muddy weather
and only then while the wearer is IN
motion, SO with leather shoes, rendered
impervlous to water, by blacking or by
any other means, should be, like India
rubbe's, used temporarily, and when
walking in mud or slosh. For common
purposes, the old fashioned leather cots
and shoes are the best, if kept veil black
ened, with several renewals of dry socks
during the day, il the feet persplre pro.
iusely. As cold and damp feet are the
avenues of death 10 multltudes every wear
systematic attention to the above sug.
gestions would save many valuable life,

What the Prince Saw.

Queen Victoria's oldest boy, the
Prince of Wales, after having delight
full time travelling through this country
is now at home, where he takes much
pleasure telling his parents, and the
courtiers ofEngland what he saw. They
are all highly gratifed, Judging from
the manner in which they speak of the
affair. Lord Palmerston spoke quite
enthusiastically, at a recent banquet In
London, of the friendly reception which
the Prince met with in the United
States, and the English papers all talk in
the same tone. The London Neaos says
ale has seen nation of soldiers with.
out all army-civil order without a po
lice-wealth, luxury and culture without
a court or an aristocracy. He has learned
to mingle with the busy crowd OF men
without the Intervention Of chamber.

II 1t will be any satisfaction to anybody
it may be mentioned that of the So

GARIBALDI's PovERTY.-A letter fro

GARIBALDI's PovERTY.-A letter from
Capua, of Nov. 5th, in the Presse SAYS
King Victor Emanuel is coming, and
Garibaldl is going. Such, at least, is the
general expectation. Garibaldi having
told his secretary and two aides-de.
camp to hold themselves in readiness to
depart, they felt it indispensable to re.
mind him that he was absolutely with
out money, and that he must think how
to procure few hundred francs for hi.
voyage. The fact is that the man who
has given to Piedmont eight millions Of
subjects, has never taken a sou of pay OF
salary for himself. Unless he with draws
his resignation of the rank of General in
the Piedmontese army-and it is not
thought that he will-Garibaldi will
have nothing to live upon but his little
farm at Caprera, which has hitherto
never yielded more thar l5OOf, ($6O) a
year. Such is the real position of the
man who has conquered the Neapolitan
Bourbons, and added one Of the most
splendid jewels which adorn Victor
Elnsnuels crown.

Conces.iou aud Compromise


"Concession asd COmpromise.'
From the wonderful unison exhibited
BY the Republican press Of the country,
within few days past, upon "conces.
sion and compromise" We sre inclined
t. the belief that Lincoln has issued his
first msnifesto-has taken the first STEP
towards directing the Republican policy
touching the present national difficulties
and the awful national caIamitles which
90 menace and threaten the safety and
perpetuity Of our beloved Government
The direction given to the Northern
Black Republican press by Mr. Lincoln,
seems to be that that arm OF power
strike the death blow, if possible, to the
idea Of peaceable compromise Or manly
concession on the part Of the North.
No matter how many overt actions have
been committed no matter how many
REASONABLE enactments have been passed
by "higher law" Legislators; no matter
how much notification furnishes the
statute books Of certain Northern States;
no matter bow much could be gained
by conceding; no matter even if the
Union with all its glories-the Govern
ment with all its privileges, could be per
petnsted thereby; no matter if the
South offer to meet her Northern sister
at Mason 4 Dixon's line with the
spirit Of compromise and concession,
bearing the olive branch Of peace; no
matter if all this and more-yea, ten
times more, be done-if all the priceless
advantages be secured-the express sent
iment Of Lincoln, through the Black
Republican press, seems to be "No CON-
CKssION-NO COMPROMISE :" let the van
tage ground we have gained be ours
still; let the glitteriug dagger, whose
Hit we have clutched, be held in our re
lentless grasp, and, unless we can have
our own way without concedng a jot
or title, or compromising to the extent
of a hairs breath, let it descend into the
heart of the Union, and take away the
life of this noble Government-"Mis
ledgue 10Th heU"
No comprom,se--nO concession 1t
is the death kne!l Of the Union. Rather
than give upa wrong position, rather
than abolish unconstitutional laws,
rather than give the South her Just
rights, they prefer to let the Union
slide-they court selfdestruction, and
apply the torch to the temple of Nation
al freedom. Like the heart Of Pharaoh
fold, theirs is hardened and rehardened--
they refuse to see-to realize the danger
which besets them and push on head
long TO that fell spot where thy will be
enguphed in irrepressib|e ruin.
The storm thickens as day succeeds
day the impending ruin becomes
more appealing. Why will not
men stop and realize the true condition
of matters? God grant that before the
axe descends which IS appraised over thi,
own beloved country,t to strike it iu twain,
that men will lose their hardness OF
heart and blindness of mind and accept
