A little circumstance, says the Rock
Island Register has just come to us
through friend of the parties, which
we are tempted to make public. 1t is
as follows
A couple very well known in the
county are at present arranging terms for
u separation, to avoid the scandal of a
judicial divorce a friend has been
employed by the husband to negotiate
the matter. The latest mission was in
reference to a valuable ring given to the
wife before marriage by the husband
For this he would make a certain much
desired concession. The friend made
the demand. "What," said the indig-
nant wife, edo you venture 10 charge
Yourself with such mission to me p
Can you believe that could tear myself
from gift which alone recalls to me the
days when my husband loved me No!
This ring is my only souvenir of happi-
ness forever departed Ills all (and
here she wept) that now possess of a
once fond husband" The friend insist
ed. The lady supplicated-grew obsti-
nate-grew desperate threatened to sub
nit to public divorce as a lesser evil
than parting with the cherished ring
and at last confessed that-she had sold

below.
1t will contain all the original matter of the
Daily National Republican, with the exception
.of local news not interesting to country sub
scrbers.
1t will give full reports of the proceedings of
Congress, and of the other departments Of the
National Government.
1t will contain all the news of the day, for
eign and domestic, markets, de-, &c, as well
as an original correspondence from all parts OF
the country. The miscellaneous department
will receive special attention, and in all res
poets, the effort will be made to establish the
character of the National Republican as q
FAMILY NEWSPAPER.
In politics, the paper will be Republican
sustaining the incoming Administration of Mr.
Lincoln, but disclaiming, however, any preten.
sion to be the organ of the President elect.
There is no other Republican paper in the
District of Columbia, or in the vicinity of it
and it is believed that recent events have open
ed to such paper an important sphere of use
full effort The time has come, when the actual
administration of the Government upon Re-
publican principles will explode the misrepre.
sensations which have made those principles So
distasteful to the South.
But it is not only here, and in this vicinity,
that the projectors of the National Republican
hope to make it useful. To the whole country
they offer journal which will discuss Nation
al politics from National standpoint, and
which will never be swerved from patriotic
duty by any overpowering pressure of local in

Speaking of fattening cattle upon hay
a Committee of the Massachusetts BOARD
of Agriculture remark
Fattening cattle in winter upon hay
alone is resort of many farmers and
where hay is plenty and distant from mar
ket, the practice is not inconsistent with
economy. Ii well attended, good ami.
mails consume four per cent of their live
weight of good hay daily, will gain dali
ly two pounds of flesh. Suppose the
flesh gained to be worth sixteen cents, il
will be equal to eight dollars per ton for
the hay. The better practice, however,
is to give only three per cent in hay and
one per cent in Indian meal or roots
The gain would be greater for the same
cost of food"
Another remark worth quoting is the
following:
The best age for feeding cattle fol
beef, is from four to eight years. Young
growing cattle may be fattened, but il
will take more food in proportion, and
longer time"

THE GLOBE.
The official Paper Of Congress
Congress,

publish now my annual prospectus of Tn
DAILY GLOBE, and The CONGRESSIONAL GLOBE
AND APPENDIX. to remind subscribers and tC
inform those who may desire to subscribe, tina,
Congress will meet on the first Monday of next
December, when / shall resume publishing the
above named papers. They have been pub.
lished SO long that most public men know their
character, and therefore | deem it needless to
give minute account of the kind of matter
they will contain.
THE DAILY GLOBE will contain report of the
Debates in both branches of Congress, as taken
down by reporters, equal, at least, to any corps
of short hand writers in this or any other coun-
try. A majority Of them will each be able to
report uerbatm ten thousand words an hour
while the average number Of words spoken bv
fluent speakers rarely exceeds seven thousand
five hundred words an hour. When the de.
bates of the day do not make more than forty.
five columns, they will appear in the Daily
Globe of the next morning, which will contain
also the news of the day, together with such
editorial articles as may be suggested BY pas
sing events.
THE CONGRESSIONAL GLoBE AND ApPENDIx
will contain Il report of all the debates in Con
gress, revised by the speakers, the messages OF
the Presidents of the United States. the Annu-
al Reports of the heads of the Executive De.
paitments, the laws passed during the session
and copious indexes TO all. They will be print
ed on double royal sheet, in book form, royal
quarto size, each number containing sixteen
pages. The whole will make, it is believed
at least 1000 pages. This is acknowledged to
be the cheapest work ever sold in any country
whether reprint or printed from manuscrip t
copy, taking for data the average number OF
words it eoutains.
The coming session will, without doubt. he
an unusually interesting one, because the de-
bates will, IN a great measure, be upon the pol
icy Of the President elect, and The Globe will
be, as it has been FOR many years past, the only
source from which full debates of Congress can
be obtained
The Congressional Globe and Appendix pass
free through the mails of the United States. as
will be seen by reading the following joint res.
olution passed by Congress, the 9th Of August,
1852
Joint Resolution providing for the distribution
OF the Laws of Congress and the debates
thereon.
With view to the cheap circulation of the
laws of Congress and the debates contributing
to the true Interpretation thereof, and to make
free the communication between the represent
alive and constituent bodies
BE it resolved by the Senate and House of
Representatives of the United States of Ameri-
en-, in Congress assembled, That from and after
the present session of Congress, the Congress
sonal Globe and Appendix, which contain the
laws and the debates thereon, shall pass free
through the mails so long as the same shall be
published by order OF Congress, Provided.
That nothing herein shall be construed to a,l,
thorize the circulation Of the Daily Globe free

IMPURE BLOOD.

The blood is the life and when any foreign
or unhealthy matter gets mixed with it, it is at
once distributed to every organ of the body.
Every nerve feels the poison, and all the vital
organs quickly complain. The stomach will
not digest the food perfectly. The liver ceases
TO secrete a sufiicieney of e. The action of
the heart is weakened and so the circulation is
feeble. The lungs become clogged with the
poisonous matter hence, a cougll-and all from
slight impurity at the fountain head of life
the Blood ? AS if you had thrown some earth
for instance, in pure spring, from which ran a
tiny rivulet, in a few minutes the whole course
of the stream becomes disturbed and discolored
As quickly does impure blood fly toeyery part,
and leave its sting behing All the passages
become Instructed. and unless the obstruction
is removed, the lamp Of life soon dies out
These pills not only purify the blood, but
regenerate all the secretions of the body they
are therefore unrivaled as n
