Missouri Legislature Message of the
Governor.


ST.. LOUIS, May 3rd-The Legislature of Mis-
souri, was organized to-day. Coy. jackson, in
his message, says: Ia ~
"rhe President in calling out troops to sub
due the seeded States, has threatened civil war,
and his act is unconstitutional and illegal, and
tending towards consolidated despotism."
While the Governor justi6es the action of the
Confederate States 10 seeding, be does not rec
oInlaepd immediate secession, but uses the fol-
lowing language:
"Our interests and sympathies are Identical
with those of the other slaveholding States, and
necessarily unite our destiny with theirs, the sim
iarity of our social and political institutions, our
industrial interests, our sympathies, habits and
tastes, our common origin, and our territorial
contiguity, all concur in pointing out our duty in
regard to the separation now taking place be-
tween the States of the old Federal Union" He
adds:
missouri has, at this time, no war to prose-
cute. 1t is not her policy to make aggressions
On eny State or people. But in the present state
of the country she would be faithiess to her hon.
or and recreant to her duty were she to hesitate
a moment in making the most ample prepara-
tions for the protection of her people against the
aggression of all assailants. therefore recon
mend the appropriation of sufficient sum of
money to place the State at the earliest practi-
cable monent, in complete state of defense"
In conclusion, he says: sPermit me TO appeal
to you, and through you to the whole people of
the State, to whom we are responsible to do
nothing imprudently or precipitately. We have
most solemn duty to perform; let US then calm
ly reason one with another; avoid all passion,
all tendency to tomult and disorder, and obey
implicitly the constituted authorities, and en-
deavor, ultimately, to unite all of our citizens in

SALT For Tue TnRoAT.--In those DAYS
when diseases of the throat are so univer-
sally prevalent, and so many cases fatal,
we feel it our duty to say word in be-
half of q simple and what has been with
us most effectual preventative, if not
positive cure of sore throat. For many
years past indeed we may say during the
whole Of a life of more than forty years,
we have been sub ject to sore throat, and
more particularly to dry hacking cough,
which was not only distressing to our
selves, but to our friends and to those
with whom we are brought into business
contact. Last fall we were induced to try
what virtue there was in common salt.
We commenced by using it three times
day, morning noon and night. We dis
solved large table spoonful of pure table
salt in about half small tumbler full of
cold water. With this we gurgled the
throat most thoroughly just before meal
time The result has been that during
the entire winter we were not only free
from the usual coughs and colds to which,
as far as our memory extends, we have
always been subject, but the hacking
cough has entirely disappeared. We at
tribute these satisfactory results solely to
the use of the salt gargle, and do most
cordially recommended trial of it to
those of our readers who are subject to
diseases of the throat.
Many persons who have never tried the
salt gargle, have the impression that it is
unpleasant. Such is not the case. On the
contrary, it is pleasant and after few
days use, no person who loves nice clean
mouth, and first rate sharpener of the
appetite, will abandon it.-Farmer Ano
Gardener.

rHE DEAD MAIDEN AND her LOVERS.

HHH H|aa Ed IN. ~ r H#H
~ l. 81 FROM THE GERMAN - Z sa@a
There came three students over the Rhine
Dame Werter's house they entered in;
"Dame Werter, hast thou good beer and wine?
And where's that lovely daughter of thine?"
my beer and my wine are fresh and clear
My daughter is lying cold on her bier,''
They stepped within the chamber of rest,
Where shrined lay maiden, in black robes dressed
The first, he drew from her face the VEIL
''Ah vert thou alive thou maiden so pale"
He said, as he gazed with saddened brow,
"'How dearly would | love thee nowl"
The second, he covered the face anew, n .sstv
And, weeping he turned aside from the view;
." All me, that thou lest on the cold bier.
The one have loved for so many year''
The third once more uplifted the veil;
lie kissed the lips so deadly pale;
-.Ihee loved ever, still love thee.
And thee will love through eternity"
And that kiss, that kiss, with Promethean fame
Thrilled with new life, the quivering frame;
And the maiden uprose and stood by his side,
The students own loved and loving bride!

New Article for "a Bed.


New Article for Bed.
We had an opportunity the other day of exam
ming model of the new Spring Bed, recently
invented by Mr. Thomas Tolman, of Fitchburgh
Mass, and which is so highly recommended by
those who have used it in Lowell, Nashua,
Fitchburgh, etc. 1t looks like a first rate thing.
1t is made somewhat on the principle of a pair of
beows--air tight at the bottom, with the excep-
ton of holes with clappers' over them to
admit the air when the pressure is taken from the
top of the bed. When the pressure is again made
upon the top, by movement of persons sleeping,
the d" clappers" close, and the air is forced out
through the upper part or - stuffng' of the bed,
which is porous, thus continually ventilating it
and keeping it free from all impurities. The
upholstry is set upon spiral springs, braced so
perfectly as to render it impossible for them to
slip out of place and the filing is made of either
hair, moss, or prepared husks as any one may
desire 1t is certainly very perfect bed, and its
invention reflects much credit upon the ingenuity
of Mr.. Tolman.
We are also gratified to refer to few of those
who have used these beds in st. Adams and vi
cinity, viz =

GRANNY SANDERS is still terribly dis
tressed on account of the late currency extra.
We are sorry that We can't afford her any COM
fort She objects to informing the public Of
the suspicious condition Of any banks, choosing
rather to let tho people find it out themselves.
The assertion that the extra was made up BY
US from a vague street rumor" is simply falae,
as the copy We have in hand will fally show
As for the statement contained in the extra,
thst it was based upon a certain dispatch, we
can q 40 prove But that makes no difference
When We are informed on as good authority ,as
we were in that instance of the depreciation
and probable throwing out Of any banks, We
shall lose no time to inform the people con-
cerning it. II upon information they choose to
60 off and sacrifice their funds, they can do 60.
though We should advice nothing VI the Mud.
But the extras may be looked for at all times
when there is the least indication that there is
any chance for depreciation in any fund, and
especially may they be looked FIR when we
have such strong grounds fnr furnishing them,
as we had on the occasion alluded to. Has our
neighbor any serious objections? II go, he
might as we'll keep them TO himself We have
rot been known to pay much attention to any
such Ribberish.

SHARP PRACTlCE.-TO make long
story short, some two months since man
named Price came here from Psnnsyvanis
with some patent right which he was engaged
in selling, and report says. got on little
stare with Doc Morrow. Price had money
fellows we'll met, Price saw fit to let Morrow
have little to get along with through the ex-
isting crisis. But by some means, hocus pocus
or not. we cant tell, Doc. got hold OF some
thing like hundred dollars Of Prices funds
In the morning. he counted his pile, and
found too much secession in tAe each acco mt.
He Investigated, and finally had Sheriff
Thorington 60 and hold a caucus with Morrow.
Sheriff found some ten or twelve dollars, if
we remember rightly, and advised all parties
to let the thing pass. as, under the peculiar
circumstances, it would not do much good to
attempt a coercion policy. So it went by. 1t
appears that Price Afterwards sold out his in
terest in the patent to a gentleman named
Goff, who was to have certain percentage Of
the lost money in case he could get hold Of it.
On Friday last Golf came TO Davenport,
and ascertaining that Morrow was in Jail. went
to see him for the purpose, II possible, Of get
ting some clue to the lost money. It has
been ascertained where some twenty six dol
lars OF it had gone. bu; there was one fifty dol
lar bill yet unaccounted for. Well, after some
figuring . bargain was struck. Yesterday Goff
agreed to furnish Morrow with bail until the
next term Of court. provided NJ orrow would tell
him where the fifty dollars were secrsted.
Morrow agreed to it, and tod Gof where he
could find the said bill-in . box of ashes
somewhere about his former premises. Goff
put hundred dollars into Morrow's hands and
went to look for the hidden treasure.
While Gof was gone. Morrow found out that
the hundred dollars was bogus. and Goff found
out that he could find neither the ashes nor
the fifty dollars The matter didn't get any
better Golf went hack and got his bogus
bile. which he carrie d for the purpose Of
playing sharp. He pr obably would not have
got the funds had they been current 81 the
matter rested yesterday. How much further
1t will 90 We cant say, but We hope Gof will
succeed 10 finding the fifty dollar note. Ithas
probably been emptieei into the street or some
where else, long before this time.
After writing the above. we learn that Sher
III Thornton allowed Morrow 10 be taken by
two deputies to the place where he said the
money was concealed, in order to find it After
looking about for scms time and poking among
the ashes without finding anything. Morrow
proposed 70 look souasw here el.e, but instead
Of being permitted to do so. he was taken to
jail. There \ rests at present
