A young man was studying at a college
One afternoon he walked out with an in
structor, and they chanced to see an old
pair of shoes by the side of the path, be-
longing to an old man at work near by
'sIet us have little amusement at his
expense - said the student 9Suppose we
should hide these shoes, and conceal our
selves in the bushes to watch his perp1ex-
ity when he cannot find Them"
tFI can think of better plan than that, !,
said the instructor" You are rich. Suppose
YOU put q silver dollar in the top of each
of his shoes, and then we viii hide"
The young man did so. The poor man
finished his work soon, and went to put on
his shoes, You can imagine his sur
prise when he stopped down to take out 9
pebble, as he supposed, from the toe, and
found a bright silver dollar; and when he
found still another in the other shoe, his
feelings overeame him; he fell upon his
knees, looking up to heaven, and utterine
a long, fervent Thanksgiving, in which he
thanked kind Providence for sending
some unknown hand to save from perish
ing his sick wife, and his children without
bread. Do you wonder that the young
man stood in his hiding place deeply af
fected Young friends, when you wish tC
enjoy real pleasure in Witnessing the per
plexities ofothers, see if you can not, IL
some way, initiate the student.

INFLUENCE OF THE aSEAsONsl'

Nature has wisely ordained that the
year should be divided into seasons. Two
of These in particular, spring and summer,
possess very powerful attractions, and OPP
crate very benehciaily on the human heart.
Were it not for such golden opportunities,
.rnan would be a greater savage than he
now is, and blunted against all the finer
feelings that should animate his system,
Nothing but an occasional interview with
seasons possess a charm that affects almost
every human heart, could render this
world of ours even tolerable. Let us thank
nature them with all our best deVot1on,
in our own proper places; and for soften
ING those hearts which, during the seasons
of eaiety. fashion, rioting and frivolity,
have been all but alienated from the en-
ioyment of every wholesome social virtue

THE nav TnRTIeAs

The locality to which the assassins, DIR,
Mudd, Spangler, Arnold and o. Laughlin

South is the island of Cuba, almost di-
rectly opposite, distant about one hund-
red miles. With little vegetation, and
surrounded by the sea, the air is pure and
healthy, and the temperature Of the lati-
tude is enjoyed without the risk of dis
eases peculiar to Southern climes. Some
five or Elk hundred convicts are there at
the present time, not over nine were In
the hospital short time since. A Gov
ernment stablishment-Fort Jefferson
occupies the island.
In answering correspondent inquiry,
the Evening Post gives this additional
information
There are several islands bearing the
name of Tortuga. The term is Spanish, F,
and signifies a tortise. The DRY Tortu-
ga" constitute an island group aud bank
in the Gulf of Mexico, about one humid
red and twenty miles west of Cape Sable
in Florida; there are ten islets, or keys,
in all. They consist of coral formation,
and have little vegetation except mangrove
bushes. One of them is known as Bush
Key, and on Garden Key a lighthouse
has been erected. At the beginning of
the rebellion the government undertook
the construction of Ft Jefferson, and
sent thither refractory persons to work
upon the Notifications. They are too
remote from any populated place to en-
able prisoners to obtain means Of escape,
too desolate to invite trading vessels;
and all articles of food must be supplied
by government transports. Our cores
pondent will perceive that the place
furnishes a secure rather than an attract
i've place of residence.

The revelations of the Writ trial con-
tinue to exhibit the same indescribable
cruelty to our prisoners in those dreadful
pens of AndersOnVille. They were not
tortured in this unprecedented manner
from any impossibility of keeping them
well and comfortable. There were means
of making sufficient barracks to shelter
them, just as ample as we had here in Chi
cago for the construction OF Camp Doug

were numerous saW-mills, and those help

A VIE sLARBER ON GOV. BROUsH,

Not content with opposing the patriot
ic efforts of our late lamented Governor
to crush the traitors rebellion, the Gin
clnnatl Enquirer seizes the moment when
the spirit of the good man has departed,
to utter the vile slander that he "had a
constant longing to once more act with
and share the confidence of the good old
| Democracy.
The whole career of Governor Brough,
from the time he left the traitor Democ-
racy and became the great leader of the
/ Union party. stamps the above as a vile
| SANDER. But we have special evidence Of
its falsity from his own pen. A few days
previous to the appearance of his letter
declining a re-nomination and even after
the development of the disease that ter
minated his life, we received a private
letter from him, In which he expressed
the most earnest desire for the success of
the Union party, and reviewed, at some
length, the reasons that might induce
him to decline denomination, in order
to secure the perfect harmony he desired.
He wrote:
1T is useless to disguise the fact that
there is no inconsiderable opposition to
my re- nomination, as there has been, and
will be, to any man who fills the Office IN
upon measures as to which I can make
no concessions, for [ hold them to be
right and just If I were desirous of
reelection it would be poor return for
the generous support have received, to
demand a nomination which mould or
eUen might put IN peril 'he harmony of.
the Union party and the success of the
ticket If those are stronger with a new
man, yOW loiU do me no injustice, or cen
unkindness, by dominating another"
That In the above Gov. Brough ex
pressed his honest sentiments, no honest
man who knew him will deny and yet,
the Cincinnati Enquirer, in announcing
his decease, utters the above vile SANDER
In the same letter the Governor said II
am content with my past records, and am
willing to be let alone in the future. p
What a glorious record is his, compared
with those who opposed the war for the
Union, and now seek TO taint his fair
fame by ilnparting to him such thoughts
as the above. We are glad that it is
within our power to stamp such senti-
ments as UNANIMOUSLY false, and as un-.
worthy of utterance even by confessed
traitor. It shows to what extent of in
fanny the leaders of the Democratic party.

.IArlnn The NATIONAL BINDS.

81 The Democratic party Is making a great
cry about the U. S. Bonds, advocating the
taxing of the same, notwithstanding the
law of Congress to the contrary. This
was the burden of the speakers at the
late Democratic meeting. The New ork
World, which is good Democratic paper,
thus speaks of the subject
This Is something which the Demo-
cratic party does not ask, and s0htch a0Oattd
amount to nothing If adopted. The Dem
ocratic party advocates now, as it has al
ways advocated, honesty, fidelity to en-
gagements, and the sanctity of public faith.
1t demands nothing in relation to the
Public Debt, but such equalization of the
public burdens, as will enable the people
to pay it, without a felt sense of injustice.
The Government has engaged its honor
for the exemption of its bonds from State
and municipal taxation, and it cannot,
without disgrace, repudiate its contract.
"A repeal of that part of the loan law
might unsettle public confidence but in
other respects it would amount to moth
ing That clause of the law is, as regards
enacting force, mere surplusage. 1t mere
ly served to advertise an advantageous
portion of the loan. The Federal stocks
would be just as much exempt from State
taxation without that clause as they are
with it. In the case of Western against,
The City Council of Charleston q Peters.
1857 1t was decided by the Supreme
Court of the United States, that no tax
can be laid on Federal stocks by State
authority without violation of the Con-
stitution. Chief Justice Marshall, who
delivered the opinion of the Court, said :
1.-THE American people have conferred
the power of borrowing money on their
Government, and, by making that Govern
ment supreme, have shielded its action,
in tho exercise of this mower from the
action of the local governments.
'"sFhe right to tax the contract to any
extent, when made, must operate upon the
power to borrow before it is exercised, and
have sensible influence on the contract
The extent of this influence depends on
| the will of distinct government. Tc
any extent, however inconsiderable, it is q
burden on the operations of government
It may be carried to an extent which shall
arrest them entirely.
'"The tax on Government stock is
thought by the Court to be tax on the
contract, tax on the power to borrow
money on the credit of the United States
and consequently be repugnant to the
CONSTITUTION.
TT will be seen, therefore, that the ex
Iemption in question has always existed
that it results from the Constitution, anC
is superior legislation; that it was onL
advertised, not enacted, by insertion in th'
loan law.
What, in the opinion Of sound lawyers
the State Governments may do, Is to ta1
the Income arising from these stocks, a
the same rates as income from othel
sources and tax the shares in banks, al
1T taxes other personal property. Th,
stocks are taxable by the Federal Gov
ernment, though exempt from State taxa

SALT FOR TINE THR6A4a

f An exchange contains the following -
'tIn these days, when. diseases oftlie throat
are fatal, we feel it a duty to say word in
behalf of a simple, and What has been with
US a most enectual preventative, If not
positive cure of sore throat. For many
years, indeed we may say during the
whole of a life of over forty years, We have
been subject to a sore throat, and particu-
larly to dry, hacking cough, which was
not only distressing to ourselVesy but to
our friends and those with whom we were
brought into business contact. Last fall
we were induced to try what virtue there
was in common salt. We commenced by
using it three times day-mOrning, noon
and night. We dissolved a large table,
spoonful of common salt in about half of a
tumbler full of cold water. With this we
gargled the throat most thoroughly Just
before meal time. The result has been
that during the entire winter we were not
/ only free from the usual coughs and colds
| to which, as far our memory extends,
| we have always been subject to, but the
dry hacking cough has entirely disap-
peared. We attribute it entirely TO the
salt gargling, and do most cordially re-
commend it to those of our readers who
are subject to the disease of the throat.
Many persons who have never tried the
salt gargle, have the impression that it is
| unpleasant. Such is not the case. On the
contrary, it is pleasant, and after a few
days use, no person who loves nice, clean
mouth; and first rate shRrpener of the
appetite, will abandon it."

THE cRuwplsu or CITIES.

In discussing the overcrowded cOndi-
ton of New York City, we may quote a
story of an in pector who found four
families living in one room, schalk lines
being drawn across in such manner us
to mark out a quarter of the floor for each
family. How do you get along heref'
inquired the inspector Very well, sir, z
was the reply, "only that man in the
corner keeps boarders." The half mil
lion who live in tenement houses are
packed at the rate of 100000 persons to
the square mile This extraordinary
crowding would produce pestilence were
it not that among the tenements are
scattered stores and other business build
ings Fifteen thousand two hundred
and twenty -four people in the city live in
cellars; probably ten thousand live in
shanties and stable lofts. In one ward
alone, the Sixteenth, two thousand foui
hundred and forty one persons live under
ground Of the fifteen Thousand tene-
ment houses in the city, inhabited by an
average of more than seven families
each, three thousand nine hundred and
thirty have no connection with the sewer
| The slops, filth andrefuse matter created
| by the inhabitants are either thrown into
the streets, or rot in the alleys, or are
thrown into cess-pools which have nc
outlets, and near which, in many cases
are the wells from which the people draw
the water they drink.
