CUR1OUs EFFEoTs OF CAMoMLE.-A de-

tributes so much to the health of garden
as a number Of camomile plants dispersed
through it. No greenhouse or hot-house
should ever be ever without it, in a green
Or dried state; either the stalks or flowers

The above is valuable remedy. 1t is
good for driving away the Thousand little

A Confidence Game"

We hear that under the articles Of agree
ment between the leading parties to the CO.
altion at Salem, which resulted in the elec.
ton Of Messrs. Nesmith and Baker, it was
stipulated that in the event of Mr.. Lincoln's
election, Gen Nesmith should have the ex-
elusive dispensation of all the Oregon pat
rouage. Such bargain Mr.. Nesmith will
fnd-as Broderick dds more easily
made than executed. Grant that the 9TH

tire good faith, unless Gen. Nesmith shall
become an cont t-and-out' Republican, work

WiIl1fnd aRepublican President aud cabi-
net utterly indisposed to ratify such con
tract; will fad it utterly impractieable in
execution. The workingmen of the Re.
publican party in Oregon would never per
NIT such stipulations to be carried out;
would never permit their lifelong, btterest
enemies in the democratic organization Of
past years, in Oregon, to gobble up all the
Offices and spoils to be dispensed to Oregon,
ianS, in the event Of the Inauguration at
Washington Of Republican Administra-
ton. Broderick found what such stipula-
tons were worth, when he went to Wash
ington, fancying that on his imperious will
hung every federal appointment from the
Colorado to the northern line Of California
The President of the United States taught
him, in a brief space, that he could WELD
no such patronage; and it is only inexperi-
enced, country village, local politicians
without experience on the broad theatre Of
national politics-who dream Of such illu-
sorry potentiaIities and arrangements. This,
COL Baker knew well; and doubtless, he
laughed in his sleeve at the Short-sighted
ness and inexperience Of men who were
Wiling to play for such a bubble, which

and rare fOrtuitous circumstances, including,
money, he has won it. We have no person

The Consequences OF nncOln'S Election
Something for Northern men 10 think Of
Dispassionate men are everywhere begin
ming to ask themselves what will be the
consequences of the election of Lincoln,
and it is time that every man in this con
federation who has the good of the country
at heart should be prepared to answer this
momentous question.
The Developments of the campaign are
bringing clearly to view the radical and
revolutionary intentions Of the black re-
publican party. The spirit and tone Of its
campaign journals and documents leave no
room to doubt the thorough abolitiouism of
its principles and its candidates Helpers
handbook Of treason, Lincoln's unmstake.
able abolition speeches, and Summers rab-
idly fanatical harangue in the Senate, are
the staple expesitiOns of the black republi-
can creed, for the circulation Of which eve
ry possible effort is made. Horace Gree
ley, whose position as journalist makes
him one Of the master spirits Of bis party,
and enabled him to overthrow Seward, its
originator and leader, tells the world that
-he> means ito labor for its eradication (the
Institution Of domestic servitude) from our
own, and all .other countries, as long as /
live" VIM. H. Seward, finding himself set
aside for less prominent leader in his par
ty, proclaims that Lincoln is just as radical
an abolitionist as himself, if not morsSso;
that be is enlisted for life or death in the
"irrepressible conflict" and that both be-
long to "the Massachusetts, school" in poll
tics The black republican party of that
State, fearing that the intense, fanatical and
destructive abolition character of "the Mas
sachusetts SCHOOL, would not be sufficiently
evident from the speeches and acts Of its
Senators elect-Wlson and Sumner-has
placed in nomination for the gubernatorial
chair Andrews, the friend and intimate of
VIM. Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Phillips
the open and declared sympathizer with and
defender of John Brown, and the unblush-
ing endorser of their constant reiteration,
that they hold the compact of confedera-
tion to be "a compact with hell"
These are the indelible marks which, in
only sixty days of canvass, with prospect
Of success before them, the black republican
leaders have placed upon their followers.
Let no man hug to bis heart the conviction
that he can cooperate with them for q
while, and then either control the folly that
guides their action, or escape from the misc
ry and ruin it will bring if they attain con-
tol of the powers Of the federal govern
ment. 1t will then be too late to advise
them, aud utterly fruitless to abandon their
support Once in power, they will care
neither for moderate advisers nor moderate
supporters Conservative republicans will
be cast aside everywhere as broken and
useless tools-as they have been in Massa-
chusetts-and only black republican aboli-
tionists of the school of Garrison, Phillips
and John Brown, believing that repetition

D9~ BY a careful examination Of the
geography of the world, it has been ascer-
tanned that the great artesian well Of Co
lumbus, Ohio, will, on passing through to
the opposite side Of the globe, come out
exactly fifteen miles from the great Chinese
wall on the China side, and about two hun
dred and fifty miles from Pekin. This is a
discovery Of importance, and-must vastly

terprize to continue their work. II they

SINGULAR DIscovERY.-A work lately
published at Cambridge, England, on the

mouths Of the Indus is elevated as much as
$50 feet above that at Cape Cormorin, the
southern extremity Of Hindostan The
author, Rev. George Pratt, Archdeacon of
Calcutta, ascribes this difference Of height
to the attractive influence Of the Himalaya

tally disrobed and got into bed-expccted
her husband momentarily-fell asleep-the
occupant of As Madison, an Indiana mer-
chant, returned from the theatre-a little
drunk-quietly went to room-to bed-to
sleep. The account proceeds:
How long the two reposed there side by
side, with only foot Of space between
them, all unconscious Of each others pres
ence, is not exactly known, but probably
about two hours, when tremendous noise
was heard in the apartment, from which
female screams issued wildly, piercing, and
ceaSeessly. 'o,
The hotel was in an uproar; proprietors,
clerks, walters, porters and guests, dressed
and half dressed, were at the door of "48 T"
in few minutes, blocking up the entrance,
and asking each other eagerly "Whats
the matter" "For Gods sake tell US
what is the trouble ?"
The cause ofthis outcry may be imagin-
ed. The bride had awakened about mid
night, and putting her hands over her hus-
band, they fell upon the Indapan's face
and the soft, warm touch aroused him at
once. He did not understand it exactly,
though he didn't dislike it, and in moment
more Mrs. R. said "My. dearest hus-
band, where have you been all this while?"
" Husband" echoed the merchant, be-
ginning to see, ike Lord Tinsel, that he
had made small mistake here, az am no
body's husband. I reckon, my dear mad
am, you're in the wrong bed.n
In the wrong bed Horror Of horrors,
thought the bride. What would her liege
lord--what would the curious world say 7
And Mrs. r. screamed terribly and sprabg
from the couch just as her companion did
the same. He was fully as much alarmed
as she, and entreAted her to give him time,
and he would leave the apartment, although
it was the one he had engaged--he'd make
oath to that. u
Scream, scream, scream, was the only
reply to this kind proposition. fsr.
