ARABIAN LAUGHING PLANT.

In Palgrave's "Central and Eastern
Arabia" some particulars are given in
regard to q curious narcotic plant. It's
seeds, in which the active principle
seems chiefly 70 reside, when powder
cd and admi' cred in q small dose,
produce effects much like those ascrb.
ed to Sir Humphrey Davy's laughing
gas; the patient dances, sings, and per
forms thousand extravagancies, till
after an hour of great excitement to
himself and amusement to the bystan.
ders, he falls asleep, and on awaking
has lost all memory of what he did OF
said while under tho influence of the
drug. To put pinch of this powder
into the coffee of somc ususpecting in
dividual is not an uncommon joke, nor
is it said that it was ever followed by
serious consequences, though an over
quantity might perhaps bo dangerous.
Tho author tried it on two individ-
uals, but in proportion, if not absolute
ly homeopathic, still sufficiently min
ute to keep on the safe side, and wit.
messed its operation, laughable enough,
but very harmless. The plant that
bears these berries hardly attains in
Kaseom tho height of six inches above
the gronnd, but in Oman were seen
bushes of it three or four feet in growth,
and wide, spreading tops. The stems
are woody, and of dark green color,
and pinnated, with about twenty leaf
let's on eithor side; the stalks smooth
and shining the flowers arc yellow,
and grow in turfs, the anthers numer-
Gus the fruit is capsule, stuffed with
q greenish padding, in which lie en-.
bedded two or three black beans their
tasto swectish, but with q peculiar
opiate flavor; tho smell heavy and
almost sickly.

The Crack Of the Old WHIP.

Already, boiore the rcbels have
changed clothing or cast off the coats
spotted with the blood OF our broth
ers, we boar the crack OF the old whip.
A fcw southern men in the General
Episcopal Convention, which has been
in progress at Philadelphia for some
days, awed that hody into refusing to
adopt a resolution expressing gratitude
TO God for tho destruction of Slavery
and the suppression Of the rebellion
In tho Missouri Presbyterian Conven.
tion, n reverend gentleman, who was
last year expelled for treason, was ro.
admitted and tho record Of his expul.
sion was expunged. Tho Hartford
Times, in speaking of the voto of Con.
necticut against negro suffrage, says:
I'm a pccuniary point of view, it
will bo worth o great deal in Connec.
ticut. 1t will mako us hosts Of friends
among all the Southern States" We
have no objection to her voting against
negro suffrage, but ifthat is tho roa.

Cost Of the War.

The Washington correspondent Of
tho Chicago Tribune has figured up
tho cost Of the rebellion. Tho public
debt before the war was S90,S67, 1928.
On tho first of July last it was $3,757,
253 275. The receipts Of tho Govern,
mcnt during tho war, exclusive OF
loans, &C., wero $73S,74O,7SI. 1t is
estimated, however, that before the
war balance can be fairly struck, the
national debt will swell up to $4,000
900, 600, and that tho actual amount
expended in suppressing the rebellion
was about S53S,000, 900 u year. The
expenditures Of tho first year of the
war wcro about S475, 900; in the
fourth, 81, 2l5,000,0O0.
Tho total expenditure Of the Navy
Department during the four years OF
tho war was about S35O,000,0O0, and
that Of tho War Department about
81, $3.50, 600, 900, of which tho Quarter
masters Department alone expended
about the sum of 81 100000, 900.
The interest on the public debt on
September lst, was one hundred and
thirty-cight millions, supposng the
principal to be increased to three thou.
sand millions. Itis estimated that the
ANIMAL expense of the War Depart.
mcnt for the future, supposing the CT
fcctivo strength of tho army to be
about l25, 900 men, will bo full $lO0,
600, 900; the expenses of tho Navy
Department S25, 100000, and for tho
civil service, including pensions, etc,
SCI 900, ,O00--makihg tho aggregate
amount ofcxpenditurcs required S34l,-
600, 900.
10 meet this great expense the in
formal revenue receipts will annually
amount to 1924 100000; and tho ro
ccipts from customs TO $4,000, 600
making tho annual receipts s4OO, ,00O,-
600. This, after paying tho annual
demands upon the treasury, will leave
$50, 900 which sum, it is believed,
can bc annually applied towards the
payment of tho national debt,

HIlustra,lon OF tho Trinity.

In tho Essay on Catholicism" by
Don Juan Donoso Cortes, we find the
following illustration of tho Trinity;
"Man was made by God, and in his
image, and not only in his image, but
also in his likeness; and for this rea.
son man is ono in esse9ce, and repre-.
sents a sort Of trinity in persons. Eve
proceeds from Adam, Abel is begottcn
by Adam and Eve, and Adam, Abel,
and Eve, are tho samo thing: thcy are
man, they are human nature. Adam
is man the father, Evc is man tho wo-
man, Abel is man The son, Eve is man
as Adam, but she 10 not the father; she
is man us Abel, but she is not the son;
Adam is man as Abel without being
the son, and as Eve without bcing the
woman. Abel is man as Eve without
being the woman, and as Adam, with
out being tho father"

Gen, Grants Views Upon Main tainiDB Q
tho Union ORGANIZATION,

General Grant, on bis way to Wash
ington city, stopped at Harrisburg,
Pa, and, in the course of some re-
marks upon the state of tho country,
used the following language in refer
enco to voting with the Union party,
as. reported by the Harrisburg Tete-
graph, Of October 18th:
"The american people" observed tho
conqaeror Of Lee and tho hero Of Vicks-
burg and Richmond, "cdn only erhibit
their npprocdI Of ,chat WaS done in the
field by their armies, by endorsing those
for high offices ,rho are identified Nth
political organizations enthusiastically in

PENNSYLVANIA VOTES CONTRARY TO THIS
SPIRIT, SHE Is UNWORTHY THE GLORY
SHED UPON HER ny HER DEAD HEROES
AND DOES NOT DESERVE THE PRESENCE
OF THOSE WHO HAVE RETURNED TO HER
WITH VICTORY ON THEIR BANNERS"
We are afraid that if General Gram
continues to express himself so en-
phatically in favor Of tho Union or
ganization, tho Copperhcads will do
nounco him as an Abolitionist or som,
other terrible thing,

MORE HOSTILITY To THE SOLDIERS


Tho Copperheads, who showed their
hostility to tho soldiers by opposing the
law allowing them to vote, arc again
showing thoir cmnity by attempting to
rule out tho soldiers vote, & by contcn.
ding that the law allowing soldiers in
the field to exercise tho franchise was
intended TO be operative only during
tho existence OF actual war The
Cleveland Piaiadedler was, wc believe,
tho first Copperhead Sheet. to contend
that tho gallant men still in tho field
were prccluded from exercising the
right Of suffrage. In doing so, ii call.
ed attention to the following section Of
tho law passed March 30, 1864

erat assembly Of tie State of Ohio, That

FaIrheld County.

The Union men of Fairfield County
made a gallantfght, at tho recent cleo
ton, reducing the democratic vote
since the Presidential election. Though
in hopeless minority, they always
work to win, If the Unonists of Pick
away had half their energy, we could
beat the Democracy with ease. There
is no county in Ohio where it is so diff
ficult to rally tho Union men as in
this county. Why is thisP We learn,
from unquestionable sources, that in
ono township, forty Union men were
not at the polls, and, in another twelve;
but every Democrat was on hand, and
in good time, too, laboriDg as though
his salvation depended on tho result

Will you walk irto my parlor, Mr..
johnson, says tho Copperhcad spider.
The Copperheads are aboutsilly enough
to think that the President will allow
himself to become tho leader Of tho
Infamous party which joined hands
with the rebellion. We can decide for
the President, that tho greatest insult
which can bo offered him, is to be
claimed by tho Coppcrhcad party
The greatest political calamity that
can bctall him is to have their friend
ship, because it makes the world sus.
poet him, and the greatest political
blessing is to have their enmity. Poor
Mcclellan learned that long since.

We have conquered the armies of the
rebellion, thus preventing actual war,
but the States are in, rebellion until
they arc reconstructed and restored to
their former relations to the General
Government.
The soldiers will appreciate and re-
member this attempt of the democracy
to deprive them of their dearest polit'

it attempts to defeat its operation
Still it processes to be the friend Of the
