PALMERsToN's EATH-BED.-The fol-
lowing account of the state of Palmer
ston's mind at the time of his death is
from the last letter of Mr.. Conway, the
London correspondent of the Bos on
Commonwealth:
81 have the following from unques>
tionable authority. When it was per.
ceived that Lord Palmerston would not
recover, clergyman, accompanied by
Lord SALISBURY, visited him for the
purpose of having some religious con-
versation with him. They found the old
man in very low condition. The cler-
gyman asked him if he thought the
medicines which had been give him
we're beneficial Yes The clergyman
then limited that there was another
medicine which was of infinitely greater
Importance. Whst is IT'D said Palmer
ston. The blood of Christ replied the
clergyman, who, with this for an OPEN
ing, went into religious exhortation.
said, only, go on Much encouraged
by this, the clergyman continued fer
vently, and Lord SALISBURY, who is
very pious, Joined in with him. At
length Palmerston said, That is very
we'll; now read the sixth article No
one present knew what this meant; and
the clergyman referred to the sixth arti-
Gle in the prayer-book, which, however,
shed no light on the mysterious request.
On testing the dying mans mind further
it became abundantly evident that he
had supposed that he was listening to
the treaty of Utrecht, the sixth article
whereof related to the surrender of
Dunquerque."

A story is published in Paris con6rm-
ing the fact of the immense influence of
the nerves in cholera, as illustrated in
the year 1882 by Professor Recamier.
He was summoned to bedside, where
he found dying man, the features rigid,
cramps all over the body, the voice
changed-in fact all the most fatal
symptoms strongly characterized After
an attentive diagnosis the sagacious
doctor snatched off the bed-clothes and
commenced fogging the patient with all
the strength he possessed. The specta-
tors, for an instant electrified, were
naturally entaged. The dying man, by
one expiring effort, started from his bed,
threw himself on the doctor, who ran off
hotly pursued along passages and cor
ridors by the cholera patient, till both
reached the top of the hospital stairs,
when the breathless professor stopped,
and looking at the ghastly pursuer,
ooolly asked, "And how do you feel2"
"FeeiF' said the astonished patient
feel, indeed2 why, -(after a little
pause) 81 have no more crampsg, ~
believe you; but after this fine race YOU
require rest" Some cups of tisonS and
the pseudo moribund was saved.

The total number Of. bushels Of oats
producsd in all the States and Terrific
riss in 1860 was 1858 ,1s5 bushels. |
This is large product, and almost
equals the number of bushels of wheat
produced.
The native country Of the oat is said
to be Mesopotania In countries where
other grain does not grow it is valua- /
BILE agricultural crop. Even in this coun-
try Il, Is worth ordinarily $75, GOO, GOO.
It is cultivated for bread corn in
Scotland, ireland, Norway, and Sweden.
In the United States it is principally
cultivated for horses. DistiIlers use it
to some extent in manufacturing whis-
ky. The cat bread is said to furnish
great amount of nourishment and is
preferred by miners to all other kinds.
1t is also used in Germany in broths
and pottages, and in some countries a
kind of hasty pudding, or porridge, is
made of it. In Austria a superior ar
ticle is cultivated which is intended to
be made into oat meal, to be en-
ployed as q Get for the sick.
New York is the greatest oats-grow-
ing State in the Union, in 1860 pro-
ducing IS, IT'S, 134 bushels. Pennsylva~
MIA comes next, producing q, 387 TAT
bushels in 1860. Ohio is third, pro-
ducing Is, 409,23 bushels in 1860.
Illinois is fourth, producing almost as
much as Ohio in 1860, viz: Is, 220, 529
bushels. Wisconsin is fifth in order,
producing ll,O59,270 bushels in 1860;
and Virginia is the sixth, producing
10, 1876 ,029 bushels.
The four States of New York, Penn
sylvania, and Illinois produce more oats
than all the other States and Terrific
ries.
The increase in the oats crop in
the New England States in 1860 over
that of 1850 was little over 2,565, 900
bushels.
The increase in the Middle States was
about 100000 bushels.
The increase in the Western States in
the same time was about 100000
bushels.
Ohio. produces more oats than any
other of the Western States. Illinois
comes next in order.
The greatest increase in the number
of bushels produced in any of the West
ern States was in the State of Mime
sofa, which is nearly nine hundred pei
cent. over that of 1850; and Iowa in
creased nearly four hundred per cent
and Wisconsin over three hundred pei
cent. The increase in Michigan was
less than one hundred per cent.
Indiana and Missouri show decrease
The oat crop has fallen off in every
Southern State, with the exception o.
Texas and Virginia.
The New England States produced, in
1860, 3.43 bushels of oats to each in
habitant, and the production in the
Middle States was ST bushels to each in
habitans. The Western States produced
only 81 bushels to the inhabitant, anG
the Southern States produced fraction
over two bushels to each inhabitant, in
1860.
The Pacific States produced in 1860
! four bushels to the inhabitant. The en-
tire product in the Union, in 1850, was
6 $40 bushels to each inhabitant, and in
1860 less than 81 bushels, thus showing
decrease of nearly twenty per cent. in
the production of oats in the Union in
ten years B.

A Democratic Organ on the SItua-

t10n.
The New York Metropolitan Record
is an original, true gray expounder of
Democracy, edited by one John Null
lally, who thus advises his Southern
brethren of the Dixie persuasion: ...-
The President calls upon the South to
aid him in the prosecution of bis policy,
and in our opinion, it is desirable that
the South should aid him in every way
that viii not compromise its .manhooi
and honor. Its friends know--the world
knows-that its people have not free
choice, that they are acting under the
imperative law of necessity but is it to
be inferred therefrom that they abandon
their principles ? On the contrary, is
it not clear that those principles are
simply held an allegiance till they can be
reasserted and triumphGntly Uindicated
at some future, and ace trust, not dis
tant day ?
The italicized portion of the extract
so appears, in the Record The Nash
vile Press and Times says it must do
the Record the justice to say that, with
in the past two months at least fifty in
telligent gentlemen who have travelled
recently through the South, have assured
it that the rebels very generally express
determination to do just what the
Record hints they ought to do; that is, to
first endeavor TO get their State Govern
ments back into their own hands, shuttle
their Representatives and Senators into
Congress, and having obtained secure
foot-hold, proceed at once to restore the
same local regulations and law, which
existed prior to the rebellion. Thou
sands of the Tennessee rebels express
the same determination. The Record
is an enthusiastic admirer, of the Con-
federate leaders, as viii appear from the
following patriotic paragraphs, with
which it delights to adorn its pages:
The heroes are not the successful
raiders aud victorious generals of the
Northern army, but the defeated pala-
dins of the confederacy. Not Grant, or
Sherman, or Sheridan, or Slocum, but
Lee, or Jackson, or Johnston, or Beau
regard. Not Fitzpatrick, or. Gilmore,
but Stewart, or Hampton, or Forest, or
Moseby, or Malone. These are the men
whose achievements we glorify, whose
deeds we rehearse, whose heroism we
delight to honor. Southern
generals and public men come North.
ward and are received everywhere with
transformations evidences OF respect and
admiration. How different is the case
with our Northern generals. We do not
hear of them going South unless as
heads of Military Departments. Ne
fancy they lciH shrink from testing. their
popularity in that section for many
day to come. Imagine Sherman travel
ing over the land he has laid waste, or
Fitzpatrick wandering through Georgia
or South Carolina, or Sheridan visiting
in the Valley. Men crave remembrance
as boon, but the highest hope that
Sherman, and such as he, can entertain
NTH regard to the South is that their
deeds may pass from memory. --.--.

One of the murderers of Gen. Robert
McCook was deemed worthy of special
homer by some of Alabama's recon
structed, reconciliated rebel citizens,
and accordingly they made him their
sheriff. Pride precedes a fall, and the
individual thus honored, Gurley by
name, couldn't keep the glory to him
self, but desired to have it radiated all
over the country; SO he took special
pains to have the matter duly proclaim
ed through the, public press. The mill
tary authorities at. Nashville couldn't
stand this insult, and arrested Gurley,
tried him for murder, and he is now I'M
der death sentence, and has been sent
to Huntsville, Alabama, to have it exc
cuted upon him. Other rebels guilty Vi
the most atrocious crimes are liable, in
their anxiety for prominence and noto-
riety, to be elevated before the people in
similarly unpleasant manner. Gurley
