THE Cardinal de Richlieu, when inereas-
ing every day in power, met, coming down
the steps Of the Lowe, the Duke d'Esper-
non, who had formerly been the principal
favorite of the king. 'What news above
there, my lord duke ?" he asked. "None,'
answered the other, "except you are COM

"EIGHr MORE AS TwELvE."-A Dutchman in
Columbus county, Ohio, leased his lands to an oil
one-eigith of the oil procured. The well proved
to be pretty good one, and the farmer began to
think that the oil men should give him better
chance, and ventured to tell them so. They asked
him what he wanted He said they ought to give
him one. twelfth. The agreement was finally made
with the understanding that the Dutchman was to
tell no one. All went on smooth until the next d.
vision dav came, when our friend was early on
hand to see how much better he would be off
under the new bargain. Eleven barrels were
rolled to one side for the oil man, and one for
him. This did not suit him. "How's dish?" says
he :: al tink l was to get more as BEFORE By

even his son dry so? If the Banner can't answer

D1sArPEARANcE OF THE TRuFFLE IN France
The truffle is said to be disappearing in France.
This curious production has neither stem, fibre,
nor root and no researches have succeeded in dis
covering the germs from which they are developed.
The truifle will not grow in land that has been
MANFRED; it loves wild, uncultivated SOIL en-
riched only with the rotting leaves of the forest
and demands both moisture and sun for its deVel'
opment. The truffle can only be cultivated ind
rectly by planting groves of the peculiar species
| of oak, among whose roots it is found.

Rarey publishes card relative to the modest

for all alleged breach of contract in exposing the

brided horse might as reasonably claim damages
for an Infringement of his system OF horse-tamlng,
and claims that he has attained his system only by
life time of assiduous labor and study, and at the
expense af sundry broken limbs. He considers
the claim as an attempt to levy black mail an oper-
alton which, he says, has been repeatedly tried
unou him in Europe.

1nand upon the South:
We want concession. We want the Southern
States which are camoring about concessions and
compromise, to concede that ours is q Government
proper, and not compact between States. We
want them to concede that this Government has
right to enforce its laws and protect its property
even if it becomes necessary to hang or shoot
every traitor in the United States to do it.. We
want them to concede that it is the duty of this
Government to retake from Southern traitors its
stolen forts and arsenals. We want them to CON
| cede that the seeding States have violated the
Constitution-that they in rebellion against the
Federal Government, and that it is the duty of this
| Government to put down rebellion. We want them
to concede that the taking of Federal forts and
firing upon the Star of the West are insults that
should be atoned for We ask them to concede that
slavery is the creature Of local law.
