THE FHEm0NT.FRIOE TREATY.
We published, few days since, a sort Of
treaty, signed BY Gems. Fremont and Price
virtually stipulating that henceforth rebel
lion shall be as respectable and safe as
loyalty in Missouri, and practically recog-
nizingthe existence Of third government
within the territory Of the United States
namely, the government OF C1aib. jackson
and Sterling Price. 1t appears from the
following missiTe that General Hunter
repudiates the treaty in toto:
General Sterling Price, commanding forces at
CaskrfQe, Atssouri:

PORTING 10 have been made between Major Gen
erals Fremont and Price, respectively command-

MASON and SLmELL.

The country was electrified yesterday
ky the news that the two great maletac-
1.re, Mason and slide1l, rebel commission
cts 70 England and France, had been cap
t~r<d by the VAT steamer San 1acinto, of
D..nuda, and safely handed over to Gen.
Wool at Fort Monroe. Hardly anything |
could have given more unfeiggned joy to |
t!:c country. The success Of the coast ex- !
Tcdi1ion was not hailed with more unani- |
nlu,ls rejoicing by our citizens. It was
Known that JEFF. Davis's government had
sent them to Europe On business which
1hev deemed Of the utmost Importance,
and it was suspected that their functions
included proposition for joint protectc-
rate of France and England over tns
rebel States, and an extensive scheme for
raising money On the new cotton crop.
Fortunately all their papers were taken,
and thus the various ranifcations Of their
conspiracy will in due time become
Known.
1t would be difficult to name two per-
zt'ps more odious to loyal citizens than
Mason ard SIdelL Both are stepped in
.:easo. to their lips, Neither Of them has
drawn a patriotic breath since they en-
,.rcd public life. Mason is an ignorant

D Another Of Gen. Lanes character
istic speeches will be found On the second
page OF this issue. It was made to the
soldiers Of the Indiana and Kansas regi-

his remarks he declared that IA heavier
allow is dealt out to the realm Of secessia
sin the abduction OF freedom Of 3 slave
"than by killing rebel in arms" He puts
the same idea in stronger language, thus:
"-A6duct from the same family q slaue, and
"EiUin arms a son, and the loss Of the slave
"vin be regarded as the greater misfortune
-" the calamity for aoAich there is no hsal-
ing Jazm."
The conclusion drawn from this startling
fact IS irresistible:
if then b5 allowing the slave to fall into the
wake Of the army ald find the priceless boon
Of freedom, nc avoid hlooGshed, save proper
.y frcm destruction, and strike death dealing
blows upon the head and front Of this rebel.

by far, the largest share of custom. At

At this juncture Hoosier. who had
gone half dime on one of the pies whose
contents were now being discussed with
reagrd to character, straig htened up, and
with huge bite half way in bis mouth,
called out:
"Say, shaver, what did ye say these
ere pies were made out'n I"
"Rats. rats ~ broke in the unsuccessful
merchant, overjoyed at the prospect Of
making a point.
They're not rats, SIR" said the en-
barrassed boy, with much emphasis.

Is Consumption Contagious.

1t is most probable that consum 2tion is
not of itself communicable, that it cannot
beget consumption 10 one who has vieor
Gus health and is perfectly free from all
taint Of the disease. But if any porson
who has not a vigorous constitution,
whether inclined to consumption or not,
| lives, eats and sleeps with consumptive,
as man and wife do, as a sister is apt
to do with consump.ise sister, or moth.
or with consumptive children, such per-
son will very generally die of consump
ton themselves, not from its communica-
bility per Sc, but from the foulness Of the
atmosphere about consuWptive, from
warm rooms, decaying lungs, large expec.
tor ations, sickening night sweats and bod
lily emanatoDs; but the same amount Of
exposure to air made foul in other ways
would light up the fires of consumation in
one of feeble vitality or broken constitn-
ton.
1t is necessary, therefore. that the nurse
of the consumptive should possess the
most vigorous health, and to make assur-
snce from infection doubly sure, that the
mostscrupulous cleanliness possibeshould
be observed and carried out 10 every min
utis, maintained with the most inyeterate
constancy through every hour of the
twenty -four, not allowing any excretion.

bout the person. bed or room, for one in
slant. An iDcessaDt ventilation should
be going on in the chamber. the best
method for which, under most circum-
stances, is simply to keep fire on the
hearth and an inner door open; even in
mid.sunm mer, this is better for the patient
as well as for the narse, than a room
kept closed all the time from an almost
insane dread OF taking cold. - Halls Jour
