ABERNETHY's RECIPE FOR INpIG EsTloN.-
Alden Gobble. a lover of misrule, was dys-
peptic, and suffered great uneasiness after
eating. So he goes to Abernethy for advice
." What is the matter with your asks the
doctor. "Why, [ presume | have got the
dyspepsia" "Ah' said the doctor, "I see
"A Yankees wallowed more dollars and
cents than he can digest" Il am an Amer
lcan citizen, says Alden, with great dignity
" am Secretary to our Legation at the
Court of st. James" "Then," snid Aher-
nethy, 'you will soon get rid of your dvs-
pepsia. Don't see that Inference" said
Alden; ".it don't follow from what YOU
predicate at all; it amt a natural conse-
quence, guess, that a man should cease TO
be i'll, because he is called by free and en-
Iightencd people to Gil an important office. "
But | tell you it does follow" said the
doctor, for in the company you'll have to
keep, you'll have to eat like a Christian. |
never saw Yankee who didn't bolt his food
like a boa constructor. How can you expect
to digest food that you neither take the
trouble to dissect nor time to masticate? It's
no wonder you loose your teeth, for you
never use them; nor your digestion, for YOU
overload it; nor your saliva, for you eXpend
1t on your carpet instead of your food. It's
dlsgusting-its beastlyl You Yankees load
your stomach as a Devenshire man does his
eart-as full as it will hold, and as fast as he
can pitch it in with a hay fork aud then You
complain that such load of compost is too
heavy for YOU. Dyspepsia pooh its beastly
Suzzing you mean. tell you what, Mr. Sec
,9ary of Legation. take half the time to eat
mat yon DO to drawl out your words, chew
your food half as much as you do your to-
Dacco, and you'll be well in a month"

To the American People.
BY RAYARD TAYLOR.

That late, in halfdespair, said:
"The Nations ancient life is dead
Her arm is weak, her blood is cold;
She hugs the peace that gives her gold
The shameful peace, that sees expire
Each bcacon-light Of patriot fire,
And makes her court IA traitors dem
Forgive me this, my countrymen!
Oh, in your long forbearance grand,
Slow to suspect the treason planned,
Enduring wrong, yet hoping good
For sake of olden brotherhood,
How grander, how sublimer far
At the reused Eagles call We are,
Leaping from slumber TO the fight
For Freedom and for Chartered Right
Throughout the land there goes a cry
A sudden splendor fills the sky:
From every hill the banners burst,
Like buds by April breezes nurst
In every hamlet, home, and mart
The fire-beat ofa single heart
Keeps time to strains whose pulses mix
Our blood with that of Seventy-Six!
That shot whereby the old flag fell
From Sumter's battered citadel,
Struck down the lines of party creed
And made We One in soul and deed
One mighty People, stern and strong
To crush the consummated wrong;
Indignant with the wrath whose rod
Smites a the awful sword of God
The cup is full! They thought ye blind:
The props of State they undermined
Abused your trust, your strength defied,
And stained the Nations name of pride.
Now lift to Heaven your loyal brows,
Swear once again your fathers VOWS,
And cut through traitor hearts a track
To nobler fame and freedom back
Draw forth your million blades as one:
Complete the battle then begunl
God fights with We, and overhead
Floats the dear banner of your dead
They, and the glories of the Past,
The Future, dawning dim and vast,
And all the holicst hopes of Man,
Are beaming triumph i'll your van!
Slow to resolve, be swift to do
Teach We the False how fight the Truei
How bucklered Perfidy shall feel
In her black heart the Patriots steel;
How sure the bolt that Justice wings;
How weak the arm traitor brings
How mighty they, who steadiast stand
For Freedoms Flag and Freedoms Land

OUrsPoKEN SECEssGoNIsrs-The County
Conventions OF the Breclinridgers in Tuol-
umne and Sacramento counties adopted the
following resolutions:
ReSojged, That we are emphatcaly and un-
equivocally opposed to any and all attempts
on the part of the General Government to
coerce the people of the South into obedience
and submission to the Federal authority
RcSoieed, That we adhere unalterably to the
great fundamental principles of Democratic
Government, as declared in the Virginia and
Kentucky resolutions of 1898 and 1893, and
believe them to be the basis upon which the
Union was formed, and can alone be main
tanned and perpetuatcd.
RcSoiged, That ten millions of freemen
fighting for their homes and their iresdes,
can neither be conquered, subiugated nor
exterminated by any power on the face of
the earth.
Rcsoiyed That peaceful separation of the
North and South is far preferable to long
and disastrous civil war, which must end
finally in the recognition Of the independence
Of the Southern Confederacy
HeSoiccd, That the American Union can
never be maintained on the principles Of the
Chicago platform and that we view with
distrust and disgust the hypoeritical clamors
Of the Black Republicans for the Union they
have destroyed
ResoIycd, That President Lincoln has trans
cended his authority, and violated the Con-
stitution of the United States, in calling out
and cnlisting large bodies o. troops for a
term of years, without being authorized SO
to do by Congress.
Mr.. Gillis--I believe these resolutions will
meet with the appreciation of every member
-
their adoption, and ask for the roll to be
called.
The roll was called, upon which J. S. Gray
said-I do not wish to vote.
The resolutions were adopted unanimously,
amid applause.
Judge Bolts, the author of the celebrated
Secession pamphlet issued last winter pres:-
dec. over the Convention. lie makes no pre-
tensions to being a Union man. He was
chosen a delegate to tie State Convention.

a PATH TO CALIFORNIA WANTED.
Government has recalled the troops now oc
cupying the Territories of New Mexico and
Utah. The motive of this measure is not
easily penetrable-seeing that the loyal States
are ready to offer tenlold their number Of as
effective men for any service to which this
force may now be transterred but we may
presume the change was not made without
sufficient grounds. 1t is only left to inquire
what steps are taken for the protection Of the
overland route. That line Of communication
with the Pacific runs through country dis
puted by hostile tribes and fllibusters, of
which latter the announcement of the de-
parture of the national forces will bring
large bodies to occupy Arizona and threaten
Sonora Through this dangerous and now
unprotected tract the Pacific mail has to pass,
after the first of July; and, if privateering
be as general as it is feared, the treasure
which now goes to the lsthmus will have to
come by the same route. It's of indispensa-
bic Importance that the force now withdrawn
should be replaced at once by one of ten
timef its strength, or we shall run the hazard
of being as effectually cut off from California
as we are from Mexico. If the service has
no men to spare for the duty, let the matter
be taken in hand by California. The as
sumption of this task will be gladly accepted
by the country as commutation Of all other
aid in the contest.-N Y Times.

BLOOD WILL TELL.-Singular condolences
sometimes appear in history. Among the
most singular is the one we are about to re
late: 1t is well known fact that Benedict
Arnold the traitor, married the daughter of
DR.. Shippen, of Philadelphia, a notorious
tory of the Revolution. The cause of Ar.
nolds detection was attributed by some to
the influence of his wife and his family; but
be this as it may, there is another fact of
great significance. Edward Shippen, law
yer of Philadelphia and descendant of the
tory Doctor of the same Lame, is the son-in-
law of the traitor Twiggs. Thus tories and
traitors of the Revolution have their coun-
terparts in their descendants, the tories and
traitors Of to-day. Blood will tell.-Necada

How COLONEL ELLSWORTH WAS KILLED.
The Washington dispatch to the New York
Tribune, says, that after the landing of the
Fire Zouave Regiment at Alexandria, which
was accomplished in perfect order at the
wharf, Colonel Ellsworth proceeded with
guard of five men to the telegraph office, ard
when arrived at the Marshall House, he OBJ
served a secession flag flying at the top of
the building. Entering the house with his
guard, he asked the first man he met who
was responsible for the appearance of the
reasonable ensign on the roof The man
replied that he was simply boarder there
and knew knothing about it. Colonel Ellis
worth and his men thereupon went to the
roof and took it down. Returning they
formed in military order, single file, Francis
d. Brownwell, of Troy, in front. and Colonel
Ellsworth, bearing the flag, next When
they reached the second floor, jackson, the
proprietor of the house, the same who had
represented himself as a boarder, opened n
door and leveled double-barreled gun at
Brownell. The latter struck the gun up
with his own bayonet, and both barrels ex-
ploded almost simultaneously. The greater
part Of both charges lodged in the wanscot,
but one slug entered Colonel Elsworths
heart, killing him instantly. Almost az the
same moment Brownwell fired at jackson,
sending a Minnie ball through his forehead,
and bayoneting him to the floor as he fell.
