SsNATE.-On motion Of M. Wilson
the joiut resolution equal'sing the pay
Of soldiers in the Union armies was
taken up.
NJ. Wilson explained the grievances
suffered BY the coIored troops.
The zsibune's special states that Mr..
Dayton will shortly be recalled from
France, sndsGeu. Fremont appointed to
succeed him. There are those who as
ssst, however, that Fremont could not
be tempted even by caibtier dish.
Especial TO Timss.l
We have authority for contradicting
the sensstion repo,ts published III the
papers % Tuesday, Of sppsehended din.
cuilies with France, growing out Of =
correspondence between Mr.. Seward
and NJ. Druyn Delays, on ordering ont
rebel privateers from French ports
There 10 rot the slightest apprehension
felt BY those Who are conversant with
all the fec.s in the case, Of any Difficult
ty with the French Emperor on the sub
ject, on the contrary the latest de- patch
from Mr.. Dayton is Of quitea different
tenor.
Hstala's Special.l
The caucus Of Republican members
Of the House, held in the Representative
Hall at the Capitol, was well attended,
80 members beng present Hon. Johu
Morr,il OF Vt,preslded. The proceedings
were Of rather conversati nal and in
formal nature. National politics discuss
ed, but no d. finite action taken, and Il
was fnr lily decided to invite the uncon-
ditional Uniop Senators TO meet with
them At an sdjourned meeting on Mon.
day evening nsxt, At which time resolu-
tions will be iatroduced, and 40 ate npt
made to initiate regular basis for future
political action.
Az unusual aumber Of refugees from
the South arc entering our lines in or.
der to escape the conscription.
They state that the night after the
passage Of the act conscript'ng all per-
sons liable to do military duts, 90 refu-
gees were caught by rebsl pickets along
the Chickahominy. These were given
passes for 80 days. With orders to report
at the expiration Of that time for duty.
Fears are entertained in Richmond q
an insurtectiou on the part Of this class

Is Slavery Dead9

We had scarcely become familiarized
to the tune slavery is dead, when the
political leaders reversed the crank, and
now in discordant notes tell US slavery
is not dead. The Baltimore American
says:
Slavery is not dead. Nor will it die
until the law, backed by force, shall de-
clare ard fix its doom.
Mr. Beecher, in his lecture a week ago
declared:
The only means Of killing 1t was to
strike where the heart of it was-in the
Constitution Of the United States. One
blow there, not with the sword, but the
Ordaining pen, and slavery was dead for
ever.
The idea now is, to secure an amend
ment Of the Federal Constitution, OF in
the words Of the distinguished clergyman
just quoted, to strike at the heart Of
the Constitution. In their mad pursuit
Of chimera, the dominant party is pre-
pared to rend that venerable parchment,
to Obliterate the ancient landmarks, and
to forsake the old paths, that they may
construct another government, modelled
after their peculiar notions Thus far
they have made little improvement

DO, if you please. I always liked
Harry, and I don't think it will take much
effort on my part to love him. Ia IS a
great deal better off IN the world than [
am, having an income Of eight hundred
dollars a year, while I have nothing. On
that sum I am sure we could live Ia com
fort, taste and happiness. 7 would not
keep a servant to wait on me so long as 7
could no the work Of one little household.
Why should I keep a servant any more
than he? Iwould fud mentaIremeadon

modest household would require. Need
we care as to what the world would say?
and what would the world sayY
That your husband had no business
to marry, if he could not support his
wife
Not by any means, Alice. TLo world
would say, There's . sensible couple for
you, and a wife worth having. We'll
endorse them for happiness and prosper
ity. And what is more, Alice, others
would be encouraged to act the same wise
part, and thus be made happy through
our example. III take Harry if he offers
himself, aud show you model home and
a model wife; so pass him over to me,

VIZ have probably all Of us met with
instances in which word beedlessly spo-
ken against the reputation Of woman
has BEEN maguifed by malicious minds,
until the cloud has become dark enough
to oversbadow her whole existence. To
those who are accustomed-not necessa-
-rily from bad motives, but from thought
Ieasnoss-to speak lightly Of females, we
recommend these hints as worthy Of
consideration. Never use a lady's name
in en- improper place, at an impgoper
dre, or in mized company. Nevermake
assertions about her that you think are
untrue, or illusions that you feel she
herself would blush to hear. When you
meet with men who do not scruple to
make use Of a woman's name in a reek-
less and uDpriucipled manner, shun them,
for they are the very worst members of
socioty-los5 to every sentiment Of hon
or-evary feeling Of humanity. Many a
good and worthy aoman's character has
been forever ruined, and her heart bro
ken by lie manufactured by some vii
lain, and repeated where it should not
have been, and in the presence of those
whose little judgment could not deter
them from circulating the foul and brag-
ging report. A SANDER is soon propaga-
ted, and the smallest thing derogatory to
q woman's character viii fly on the wings
of wind, and magnify as it circulates,
until It's mousrous weight crushes the
poor unconscious victim. Respect the
name Of woman, for your mothers and
sisters are women; and as you would have
their fair names untarnished, and their
hearts unembittered by the slanderous
biting tongue, heed the i'll that Jour own
words may bring upon the mother OF
sister, Or the wife Of some fellow crea-
t71re.

LITTLE BILLIE

TIN following bit Of ezquisit nonsense first
appeared in the North British Review, as a
note to a valuable essay on ThacEeray's early
writings. It is supposed to have originated
with the great n0veHst:]
THERE we're three sailors in Bristol city,
Who took boat and went to sea-
But first with beef aid captains biscuit,
And picked pork they loaded she.
There was guzzlrng Jack and gorging Jimmy,
And the youngest he was little Bilee.
Now very soon, they were so greedy,
They didn't leay5 not one split pea.
Says guzzling Jack to gorging Jimmy,
i am extremely hungaree.'
Says gorging Jim to guzzHng Jaely,
I'VE have no provisions, so we must-eat we
Says guzzling Jack to gorging Jimmy
20, gorging Jim, what a fool ysu be!
There's little Bill is young and tender,
We're old and tough, so let's eat he
90, BIZ, we're going to KIN and eat you,
So undo the collar OF your cheIaie.'
When Bill received this information
Heused his poclet-handherohie
%, let me say my catechism,
As my poor nanny taught to me-
Make haste, make haste says guzzling Jack,
When jim pulled out his snickersnee.
So Bill went up the main-toP-gaIlant mast,
Where down lie fell on his Blended knee.
He scarce had come to the Twelfth Command
ment,
When up he jumps, There's land, 7 see.
There's Jerusalem and Madagascar,
And North and South Amerikee.
There's the British Fleet a-riding at anchor,
With Admiral Nelson, X. C. B.

Seems on the Ohio,

Our boat stopped to take in wood. On
the shore, among the crown, was a rem
arkabIy stupid fellow, with his hands in
his pockets and his upper lip hanging
down.
A dandy, ripe for a scrapo, mods and
winks at all around, saying Now veu
have some fun; III fgighton the green
horn.
He jumped ashore with a large drawn
bowie, brandishing it in the face Of the
green 'un, ezclalming-
Now I'll punish you've been lock-
ing for you a week
The fellow stared stupidIy at his assai-
liant: he evidently did not know enough
to be scared; but as the bowie knife came
near his face, one Of his huge fists sud
denly vacated his pocket and fell hard
and heavy between the dandy's eyes, and
the poor fellow was foundoring IL the
river.
Greeny then jumped en- board the
boat, put his hands in his pockets, and
looking around, said:
Maybe there's somebody else aboard
that's been looking for me a woek?'

And they were happy together, I am
sure.
No doubt In fact, I've heard moth

Of their life were among the happiest she

TEE shape Of q corn is exactly similar
to. that Of "a carpenters nail, having a
crown or head, and a stem pointing down
wards, which piercing through the true
under-skin, irri5ates the nervous Gbrcs in
its vicinity. TO cut of the head of the
corn is only a temporary relief; a cure
can only be accomplished by cautiously
digging out the stem, which may be thus
done by a steady hand; Steep it in hot
water and rub it with a coarse tovel, or
the finger nail will not remove It. Place
a small quantity Of oil on the corn, and
let it soak well in. Then, with a fine
pen-knife, or what is better, a sharp bod
Sin, work it out Of its bed as you would
thorn. Not drop Of blood should be
shed during the operation, and its sue
cess may be tested by finding pressure
unaccompaniel by pain. A small aiaeh-
ylon plaster, with a cessation Of pressure,
viii complete the cure. Should infam-
nation have been ezcitsd-vhich may be
known by the rednass prevailing around
it-rest and cmolient applications, such
as linsead poultico, or a fig, viii be found
beneficial.
