A MADEIRA TX ENGLASD.-There is quite an ex-
citement in the medical world concerning the
prospects of an enterprising company, who pro-
pose to institute a MADEIRA" in the neighbor-
hood of London for the purpose of arresting the
fearful ravages Of tubercular and bronchial con-
sumption that are fearful in that country, nearly
one-half of the mortality Of adults being attrib-
utabe to that disease. The company's "artif
cial Madeira will consist of some 90 acres of
land covered over with glass after the fashion of
greenhouse. Everything in it will remind
one of the tropics. The fruit, flowers and trees
will be tropical. In short, it will be Made
ria" just outside of London. The circular Of
the company is supported by the opinions of
several prominent physicians as to the perfect
feasibility of the plan, while the leading medi-
cal journal ridicules the idea, and declare that
an artificial MADEIRA is perfectly Utopian. This
little ripple of excitement has not yet subsided,
and Goctors, who are proverbially bad, and pro-
81 writers, arc fast exhausting the patience Of
the community and the newspapers BY their con-
troverses over the ''arti6cial Madeira" to be
constructed in the neighborhood of London.

oh. BE Not the First.

Oh be not the first to discover
A blot on the fame Of friend,
A flaw in the faith of a lover,
Whose heart may prove true to the end
We none OF us know one another,
And oft into error we fall
Then, let us speak we'll of our brother,
Or speak not about him at all.
A smile or a sigh may awaken
Suspicion most false or untrue;
And thus our belief may be shaken
In hearts that are honest and true.
How oft the light smile of gladnesG
Is worn by the friends that we meet,
To cover a soul full Of sadness.
Too proud TO acknowledge defeat.
How often the sigh Of detection,
Is heaved from the hypocrite's breast,
To parody truth and affection,
Or lull suspicion to rest
How often the friends we hold dearest
Their noblest emotions conceal
And bosoms the purest, sincerest,
Have secrets they cannot reVeAli
Leave base minds TO harbOr suspicion,
And small ones to trace out defects
Let ours be noble ambition,
tor base is the mind that suspects.
We none of us know one another,
And oft into error we fall;
Then lei US speak well Of a brother,
Or speak not of him at all.

AMERICAN NoBLENES.-Let us begin to be
thinking about the titles, and meantime, let US
read in the Evening Post the following account
of American Principalites
On our Western prairies farming is now car
ried on upon grand scale. With the help of
machinery, a few men are able to work and
manage, upon those plains, great area of land
We have seen in Indiana a cornfeld of thou
sand acres, the corn in it from twelve to fourteen
feet high; and there are not few estates in Hill
nois and Indiana of four, five and six thousand
acres These large farms are in general devoted
to stock raising, which is found a very profta-
BILE business, and is at the same time the pleas
ATTEST and easiest branch of the agricultural en-
terprise. 1t requires capital and skill; and both
are found in the men who have engaged in it,
We are led to these remarks upon peculiar
phase of farming enterprise in the West by an
advertisement, which appears in our journal to-
day, of 8 large farm for sale. From the details
given by the advertiser we get some notion of
the vastness of the operations carried on upon
one of those great prairie estates. "Linden
Hill Farm" contains two thousand three hum
dred and forty-six acres, we are told, of which,
besides other crops, seven hundred acres are in
timothy and clover Its "rat-proof corn crib
holds fourteen thousand five hundred bushels of
corn; its barn holds forty tons
of hay; its stables accommodate thirty horses;
and its cattle shed is two hundred and fifteen
feet long by thirty wide. The farm is enclosed
by Seventeen miles of good plank fencing;" and
amongst the crops to be sold with the land, one
item is "three hundred tons Of good timothy
hay" Many proud European noble has not
such an estate and there are some plain Illinois
farmers who own more land than goes to make
some German principalities. But while Ger
man petty prince or noble lives in idleness and
foolish pride upon the tolls of his subjects, the
American farmer industriously superintends his
estate, and uses the leisure hours to perfect him
self in the arts OF agriculture; and, while the
former is a burden upon the industrious commu-
nifty, the latter, by the labor of his brain and
hands, adds to the wealth and prosperity Of his
country.

TwENTY-FvE THOUSAND WIDows.-Twenty-
FIVE thousand widows arc receiving pensions un-
der the law passed recently. Twenty-Five thou
sand widows made by the present war. By its
bullets and bombshells, its cannon balls and
bayonets, its wounds its camp fevers and priva-
tions. Twenty-Five thousand receive pensions;
how many thousand do not, we are not told
AS though he who fell on the first day Of battle
did not spill as much blood for his country as
he who fell on the last. Many do not know
whether their husbands lie under Southern sod
or langush in a Southern prison, or who will
watch and wait for him long after the magnolia
blossoms on his grave. Twenty-Five thousand
widows How many orphans how many child
less mothers2 How many betrothed maidens,
whose young hopes have been nipped, and whose
hearts are searched and scared for life?-Er.

4 yourg woman had been converted ct a camp
meeting. The minister had told her thatif she

A GOOD story is told of an officer in the Amer
ican army during the war of lsl2-14, who was,
and still is, more accustomed to the use Of the
sword than the pen. While stationed on the

the names of Kennedy, and usually called Kan

speaking wrote an order, and insured it to
subaltern, to take file Of men and pioceed to

order was peremptoIy and not to be trided with
The officer looked at his instructions and pre-
pared to obey them, but he remarked that he
did not believe he could take more than one of
the provinces without reinforcements.

SoLITUDE, though silent as light, is like the
light, the mghtiest Of agencies; for solitude is
essential to man. All men come into this world
alone. Even little child has dread, whis-
moned into Gods presence no gentle nurse will
be allowed to lead him by the hand, nor mother
to carry him in her arms, nor little sister to
share his trepidations. King and priest, war
rior and maiden, philosopher and child all
must walk those mighty galleries alone. The
solitude, therefore, which in this world apalls or
fascinates a childs heart is but the echo Of
far deeper solitude through which he has al
ready passed. and Of another solitude deeper
still, through which he has to pass reflex of
one solitude-pre6gurato of another.-[De

COMMERCIALLY PoETIcAJ.-The following par
agraph appears in recent trading circular: at
is human nature, that, in the full tide of pros
perity with the man and with the individual,
there should be little undercurrent of doubt
and insecurity. We need scarcely analyze the
extremely beautiful and poetieal plea enunc-
ated in Arnold's BeLshazzars Feast, that the
pulse like the mercury of the Barometer, fore
tells approaching change. Let us enjoy the
hour of reflection furnished BY the decaying
season of autumn, in brief attempt at account
ing for the abnormal features Of the-msrkets !"

How the Mardsrsrs OF Provoat-AIarahal
Cook vyero uSfseteA


The Guernsey County Times gives
an account Of how Hiram Oliver and
John W. Hartnp. the supposed mui u.
Ederers Of John Z. Cook were suspect.
cd and arrested:
One Of these men, Hartup, called at
! the residence Of Miss Sarah Skinner,
near Washington, on Tuesday night,
before they were arrested, and pro.
cured something TO cat for himself
and some other men, whom he claim
ed were with him on the hunt OF the
man who had shot Mr.. Cook. His
conversation and peculiar actions led
Miss Skinner to suspect him for being
the murderer, and she Immediately
went TO Washington and gave infor-
lmation, when men started in search,
and the next day the tracks, coming
near to the house of Miss Skinner,
We're fonnd to be tho same tracks
which were found in and near Cam.
bridge. These tracks were followed
to Winchester, where they crossed the
bridge, and on nearly to the barn
where they wcrc arrested. They had
stopped at Mr.. Smiths, east of Antrim,
to get something to eat, and there
claimed to be coon hunters. When
found in the barn they claimed they
were resting, having been travelling
some distance and when one of them
was charged with being the man who
killed John B. Cook, he denied it, but
subsequently said he was with the
man now. This is tie only conces-
sion Of any kind they have made, and
This they deny, pleading their entire
innocence of the charge of killing any
one.
They had about $40 in money
with them, about equally divided, two
revolvers, some cartridges and num-
ber of therthings of little impor-
tance.
There is' but very little doubt about
their being the same men who robbed
Thomas Burson, on the night before
Mr.. Cook was shot. The boots of one
of these men, Oliver, the one who,
doubtless, shot Mr.. Cook, were very
peculiar, having both heel and toe
plates, which are very unusual, and
which make very distinct tracks
They have been indicted for murder
IN the first degree, and it is expected
that they will be tried this term. They
are now in the county Jail and are
made secure by irons and bars, from
which there is no danger of their es-
cape, especially as there is also an ex-
ira guard placed over them day and
night.
They seem to be we'll educated and
in the prime of life, vigorous and ro.
bust, full life and animation, and nei-
herthe dark prison cells nor the clank,
ing of their chains seem to intimidate
them the least or induce the slightest
shade of penitence.

Its occasion was the fourth Of a series

of New York musical taste and talent,
and the performer is there subjected to
the severest and most rigid test Of
criticism that prevails in this country.
We cut the following from the critic
al notice in the New York Tribune Of
the goth:
Miss Caroline Schneidcr's 8 debut as
pianist was q decided and well de-
served success. She rendered Men.
delssohn's fine concerto intelligentIy
and brilliantly. She has passion, fire
and expression her touch is firm and
delicate; her execution brilliant and
distinct; ); her phrasing excellent, and
her Interpretation Of the scope and
meaning of her author faithful. This
single performance places her in a fine
position, and the development of her
talents reflects great credit upon her

-Four blackade runners recently en-
tered Charleston harbor, and were
captured. Their commanders, of
course, had not learned of The surren-
der OF the City. 1t is thought the
torpedoes placed in Charleston harbor
by the rebels have been washed out
to seaward, as mono have been found.
The only obstruction is line of piles
just above Sumter, with sufficient
passage way to admit vessels, and no
difficulty is experienced in going
through.
