How we had Him.

A man named Wells kept tavern in
one of our western villages but though
his house had very good name, it was
more than he had himself; for it was sur
missed by his neighbors that be used q
great deal of fodder, corn, etc., for which
he never gave an equivalent, though il
had never been clearly proved upon him
Early one morning he was met by an
acquaintance, named Wilkes, as he was
driving before him heifer, which he
had most probably borrowed from some
farmer.
"Hello, Wells where did you ge,
that heifer 2" cried Wilkes.
"Bought her of COL Stevens" was
the unhesitating reply.
"What did you pay for her ?"
"Twenty dollars" said Wells, as he
hurried on.
About an hour afterwards, as Wilke:
was sitting in Wells bar.room, Col. Stew
ems entered. After few minutes con
versatlon, Wilkes said
ga fine animal that you sold Wells!
81 don't understand you: ] never
sold Wells any animal"
"Didu't you j? Why, / met him thi;
morning with heifer, which be said he
bought Of you for twenty dollars"
He did, hey +? Well. since he said SC
he has got to pay me for her," said Ste
vens.
Wells entered soon after, and Stevens
stepping up to him, said:
Come, Wells, I'll trouble you for the
money for that heifer; il was cash bar
gain, you know ?"
81 never bought any heifer from you
Don't you..remember you bought one
OF me for twenty dollars ? Here's Wilkes
can prove it."
"No be can't" said Wells.
"You told me SO this morning." said
Wilkes.
A curious expression passed over Wells
face he felt himself cornered lie hac
either TO tell where be had got the ami
NAL, or lose twenty dollars and think
ing it not safe for him to do the first, ht
pulled out his wallet, counted out tbt
money, and handed it to Stevens, saying

Coroner Tomson yesterday, held an
inquest on fetus of several months
development, found at "a house on Main
street, between l4th and 18th streets.
The verdict is, as yet, withheld.
During the investigation, facts came TO
light which exhibit the depth Of infamy
to which mans selfshness and passion
will lead him. A fine appearing and
we'll behaved girl was employed in one
Of the hotels in Iowa City. She was
without friends and dependant upon her
labor for bread. Her character was ire
proachable, when she was met by a
wealthy libertine named G. II. Berry
hill, who enticed her into his Off ce where
he detained her three or four days, and
by promise, of marriage and other entice-
men,s, accomplished her ruin. Having
lost her place by .his detention. this same
individual kept her as his mistress. until
she was discovered to be pregnant, when
he sent her to this city to attempt an
abortion. She was kept at first at a
house Of ILL., fame, whence she was driv-
en- because OF her refusal to conform to
the "rules Of the house." Her seducer,
by his rough profanity and bad treat.
ment. now appeared in his true oolors, oI
wolf in lambs disguise, procured her
another resting place. where she was de-
| livered OF the fetus few days since
According to the girls testimony, and
also that Of other witnesses, she utterly
refused to attempt anything like abor
ton, and considered il the result Of other
causes. There are several well known
parties in Iowa City, and some wei
known citizens of this place, involved ia
this nefarious work. 1t is to be hoped
that further investigation will bring
them to light. The discovery was caus
cd by the refusal Of the libertine to pay
the woman who had taken care Of th,
girl. according to promise. Incsnses
the reat, she revealed the facts connected
with the affair. which led to invesliga
tion.-Dsv. Gag.

What Mania.a.POtu is.

The Philadelphia Press relates the
following:
A pretty. well dressed young man step
ped into the Central Station, Monday af-
ternoon, TO enter a complaint. He ap'
peared TO be perfectly sane, but 1t was
not long before we came to the conclu-
son that we were in the presence of a
man laborlng under mania-a potu.
"Sir," said he, /" am very much an
noyed by the Reading Railroad Company;
they have caused double track 10 be
laid from the cellar of my house to the
roof: one track goes up one side OF my
bed and down on the other side. They
run the cars all night /; just as | get into

Of the track, and the engineer grinned at
me like devil. The passengers all look
ed'lke devils, some with horns. and some
with no horns at all each devil carried
a canary bird which seemed to sing like
a steam whistle" Here the informant
paused.
"Well sir, your complaint is just we
have already taken measures to have the
railroad tracks removed from your house
so that you can sleep without being dis
turbed," was our reply.
The man seemed TO be grateful thai
such course had been taken, and as he
arose to depart, he said," Sir, wish you
would remove that worm from my shout

out Of my forehead, and threw il on the
pavement just as was about TO put my

stephen A. Douglas as a Prophet.

In recent speech in the House Of
Representatives, Mr.. Arnold, OF Illinois,
made these interesting statements
Here l will pause nom ent to state
a most remarkable prediction made by
Douglas in January, 1861. The state
ment is furnished to me by Gen. G. B.
Stewart, of New York, gentleman Of
the highest respectability. Douglas was
asked by Gen. Stewart (who was max
ing a New Years call on Mr.. Douglas,
What will be the result of the efforts Of
Jefferson Davis and his associates 10 di-
vide the Union q Douglas replied !:
The Cotton States are making an effort
to draw in the border States 10 their
schemes of Secession, and am too fear
full they will succeed. If they do sue.
ceed there will be the most terrible civil
war the world has seen for years.
Virginia will become charnel house !;
but the eud will be the triumph of the
Union cause. One of their first efforts
will be to take possession Of this capital
10 give them prestige abroad, but they
will never succeed in taking it: the
North will rise en- masse 10 defend it !;
but it will become city of hospitals ;
the churches will be used for the sick
and wounded, and even the Minnesota
block (now the Douglas Hospi,al) may
be devoted to that purpose before the
end OF The war; Gen. Stewart inquired,
What justification is there for all this 2
Douglas replied, There is no justifca.
ton, nor any pretence of any. If they
will remain in the Union l will go as
far as the Constitution will permit to
maintain their just rights, and | do not
doubt but majority Of Congress will do
the same But, said he, rising on his
feet, and extending his arm. If the
Southern States attempt to secede from,
this Union without further cause, | am
in favor Of their having just SO many
slaves, aud just SO much slave territory
as they can hold on the point of the bay

The following is portion of letter

rest one of the innumerable Copperhead
lies told about the President, and which
the latter suffers to pass by as idle wind.
Recurring to the President. there
are a great many reports concerning
him which seems to be reliable and au-
thentic, which, after all, are not so. 1t
was currently reported among the anti-
slavery men of Illinois, that the Emanci-

him by the outward pressure, and, par
ticularly by the delegaaicn from the

he bad written it, and he meant to make
it but wanted to read il to them for any

A Longitudinal River.

A river that runs east or west crosses
no parallel Of latitude consequently, as
it flows towards the sea, it does moi
change its climate. and, being in the
same climate, the crops that are grown
at its mouth are grown also at its sour
ces and from one end to the other OF il
there is no variety of productions-it is
all of wheat and corn, or wine. or oil, or
some other staple. Assorted eargoes,
therefore, cannot be made up from the
produce which such river brings down
to market. On the other hand, a river
that runs north or south crosses parallels
of latitude, changes its climate at every
turn, and, as the traveller descends it, he
sees new agricultural staples abounding
Such river bears down to the sea va
riety of productions, which one or anoth.
er of the nations is sure to want, and for
which one will send to the market at its
mouth or the port whence they are dis
tributed oyer the world. Its advantages
are equally great for trade between the
different sections through which it flows,
as the staples Of those sections are un.
like, and productions lacking IN one part
of its course are supplied in another.
The assortment Of merchandise afforded
by such a river are the life of commerce
they give it energy, activity, and scope.
Such river is the Mississippi, aud the
Mississippi is the only such river in the
world Scientific american.

several deaths by lock jaw, and for the
information of all, would give certain
remedy. When any one runs a nail or
any sharp iron in any part of their frame,
take common smoking pipe, fill it with
tobacco, light it well, then take a thin
cloth or silk handkerchief, place it over
the bowl of the pipe and blow the smoke
through the stem into the wound: two
or three pipe-fulls will be sufficient to
set the wound discharging. I have tried
