Senator Wade.

The prayers of tho faithful are earnestly
desired for Senator Wade. Of Ohio, who has
come to grief. That drummond light of Radi-
calism came very near being famous the other
day by reason of an alleged attempt to assas-
snate him by "a tall stranger in Confederate
gray" who drew bowie knife upon the COZ
script father, and was clicked down stairs BY
Mr.. Wade"
The "tall stranger" straightway published
a card claiming to be citizen of Boston, aud
an ancient and particular friend Of tho Ohio
Senator, in whose presence he "merely used a
small pen knife to cut a plug of tobacco"
Provoked by his frequent rampaht and
truculeut denunciations of the crime Of Sc
cession, certain enemies Of Wade have Lately
been ventilating his record with the most
damaging results to that unassassinatcd states
man. The published results of the, invesisa-
ton prove that as a secessionist some fifteen
years ago, the unforgiving Wade put to shame
the rival claims of Mr.. Calhoun to violent Sc
cession proclivites. This assassination" Of
the reputation of Mr.. Wade promises to be
fearfully successful and complete.-I2lciimond

A Comic Singer Sold at Auction.

On Friday afternoon novel sale by public
auction took place within the rooms of Hutch
inson & Dixon, ia Glasgow. For several days
placards had been posted in the city ANNOUNCE
ing the coming sale of tho services of James
Taylor, described as " the champion comic of
Great Britain" On certail conditions Dir. Tay-
lor proffered his services for four months, from
November next, to the highest bidder, engage
ing to sing twice every lawful evening in any
establishment and in any town to which he
might be sent. ......
The novelty of the affair doubtless excited a
good deal of curiosity among Mr.. Taylors pro-
fessional brethren in the city, who, on Friday
crowded into 'the mart" as the hour of sale
approached. At five o'clock, Mr. Hutchinson
moved himself into a chair which was placed
on the top OF the table, and was soon after
supported on the right by Mr.. Taylor, for
whom similar accommodations in this elevated
position had been provided. The gentlemen
who were expected to become bidders stood or
were seated in front of the auctionecr. Many
of them were smoking CIGARS and al array of
champagne glasses which studded a green
baze-covered table gave promise Of pleasure
yet to come
Mr.. Hutchinson opened the proceedings by
explaining the circumstances under which he
came to occupy the chair; but before advance
ing to the real business of the day, he caused
the champagne to be handed round, while the
company smoked and chatted, chaffed Mr..
Taylor in quiet way, and quaffed his health
with fraternal ardor Thus comfortably cir
cumstanced the bidding began.
The first offer made was e100, Immediately
increased to el10; but it was evident that this
was intended merely as a start, because the
bidding went up with rush through all the
intermediate tens till e230 was reached Of
fers were now advanced more cautiously; and
when ye915 was gained the bidders became SO
shy that cunning suggestion was made that
some more champagne bottles should be un-
corked. The hint was acted upon, and the
sparkling beverage again went round. After
brief interval, and what seemed a grateful re-
fresher Mr.. Hutchinson again went to work,
but it still appeared to be stiff uphill strug-
gle with him. At 1926 the last call appeared
to be threatened by the auctioneer; but two
additional bids were family ventured upon,
and at 1885 the services for four calendar
months, of 9" the champion comic were Sc
cured on behalf of the proprietor of the White
bait concert-rooms rlY .
The bidding, as it seemed, was confined to
one or two gentlemen representing the propri-
etors of concert-rooms in the city. After being
knocked down, Mr.. Taylor sprang up with
characteristic alertness to thank the company
for their patronage, and descending from bis
perch was lost amongst the crowd. - Glasgow

IMPORTANT SHIPPING DECISION 1t will
be remembered that the ship Sierra Nevada,
of Boston, while entering one of the docks at
Liverpool, with cargo Of guano on board
from the Chincha Islands, broke in two and
became a wreck. The owners Of the vessel and
cargo sued the Dock Company to recover the
value of the vessel and cargo, and were Sue
cessful in obtaining decisions in their favor in
every court; but the Dock Com pany would rot
pay, and finally brought tie case before the
House of Lords. After remaining two years
before the Lords, it was recently decided iu
favor of the claimants, the Lord Chancellor
presiding. Thus the decisions of all the law
courts were confirmed by this court Of last APP
peal. The object of the Dock Company, in
coutestng the decisions of the admiraly courts,
was to deter others from suing them, and induce
future parties who may have claims against
them to settle on their own terms. the ship
was owned by Messrs. Glidden & Williams. Of
Boston, and was valued at $4,000 in gold
at the time Of the disaster, She was subse-
quently repaired, and is now as good as ever.
The decision of the Law Lords was unani-
nous one.

Quite sensation occurred at Derby Line,

Quite sensation occurred at Derby Line,
Vermont, last week. A couple Of juvenile
French Canadians came over the border TO
commit matrimony An enterprising bailiff
followed after them hard, and overlook them
near Newport, turning them back to Derby
line, where young Thibaldeau was advised
that he was not obliged to obey the behests of
Canadian officer A minister was thereupon
called in, and the young fugitives were speed
lily married. About ~ o'clock, after the chap
Ply pair" had retired, their sleep was rudely
disturbed by the arrival of three Of the lady's
brothers, who caused them to arise. Upon
learning the fact of the marriage, however,
they advised the new brother-in-law to return
home with them and be legally married by the
rites of the church. 1t seems that the young
lady had been struggled out Of the convent at
Three rivers, where she was soon to have ta-
ken the veil

A New Military Order.

An order issued by Col. @. Brown, on the
18th instant, and approved by Major General
A. H. Terry, commanding the Department of
Virginia, gives effect to the laws passed by the
General Assembly of Virginia, at its late ses-
sion i'll relation to criminal cases and proceed
ings at law, or in equity, in which colored per-
sons are parties This order forbids, "until
further orders the trial of criminal cases 'by
any officer .or agent OF the Bureau in this
State, except such as may have been COM
menced before the date of the order. 1t makes
it the duty Of the assistant Superintendent"
to attend such trials or preliminary hearings
within their jurisdiction, to which colored
person may be,a party, or in which such per-
son may be witness. The Assistant Super
intendents will not, however, interfere with the
action of the court, act as attorneys. or offer
arguments. They are toe confne themselves
to such friendly suggestions to colored persons
concerned, or their counsel, as may be neces-
sary." 1t is made their duty to make Gimme
diate report of any instance Of oppression or
injustice against a colored party, whether pro-
secutor or defendant, and in cases of the i'm
proper rejection of colored evidence" &c. 1t
would be premature to offer any conjectures as
to the probable operation of this new order.
We can, however distinctly see wherein it
may be abused-Rachmond Wing, l7h.

A RELIABLE IsFAxr.-The Adrian mich


E!rpositor relates the following incident:
A little girl about two years old, and di-
minutive little thing at that, while playing
with her brother, by some uuaccountable acct
dent, fell into we'll about thirty feet deep.
The boy gave the alarm. and the mother run
ming out discovered her little darling floating
on the water. The bucket was down-it pro-
badly went with the child-and the mother,
instead of wasting her energies in fruitless
screams, caught tie rope and swung back the
bucket partially under the child The little
hands grasped the pail, and it was drawn to
the top and rescued by the terrified but cour-
ageo,,s mother. During its perious journey
out, it looked up, and several times called out
mamma, mammal" A more thrilling peril
and rescue seldom occurs, and, indeed, the
whole thing is miraculous; but the facts are
beyond cavil

THE LIVERPOOL LINE OF STEAMSHIPS. 1t
is a remarkable fact that our Baltimore line Of
steamships to Liverpool is the only American
line row in existence crossing the Atlantic, aud
with every prospect of being successfully main
tanned, it is growing more and more into favor.
There are three fine steamers upon the route,
the Worcester, Somerset, and Carroll, and re-
gular sailing days are announced from each
side Of the water, with passenger rates, first
class as well as second-class and steerage, which
afford the proper inducements. The prompt
ness with which goods from the other side ar
rive and are delivered through the Baltimore
custom house, is an advantage to importers by
this line Which cannot be realized in any other
port; and with our great railroad facilities those
designed for the West, or other interior points,
are dispatched and reach their distant destina-
tons with unexampled CELEBRITY. The steam
ship Worcester completed her loading for Liv-
erpool yesterday, and will sail at noon to-day.
She takes out II full and very valuable cargo
of cotton, corn, naval stores, &c. The Somer-
set, recently arrived, has nearly completed dis
charging her Liverpool cargo, and has the
principal portion of her return cargo engaged.
She is to sail on the 4th proxino. The repairs
on the Carroll are being pushed forward, and
she will, we are assured be ready to take her
departure on her regular day, the 25th April

Manures-PreservatiDn and Value.

Horse manure is one of the most ener-
getic of the animal manures and is very
easily injured; in fact, without care to give
proper treatment, most of that made in
summer will be about ruined Boussin-
gault found that, when horse dung was
allowed to become thoroughly decompo-
sed it lost ninc-tcnths of its weight and
more than half its value. This was not the
effects of burning; but of perfect decompo-
sition. Where the manure is burned in
the heap it is little better than ashes.
This can be prevented by the application
of water to the manure heap, frequent turn
ings and making compact piles, but this is
attended with good deal of trouble, and
few have water in sufficient quantities
convenient. Mixing with sod, scrapings
of the roads and walks, swamp muck, &c. :,
will rctard decomposition, and should al
ways be composted with horse dung.
Manure, however, cannot be made in the
summer without trouble, and the farmer
III ,uld, in the spring, apply, to the land all
that he has on hand, and it is better to give
corn Il good top-dressing before the first
or second hoeing, thus using all the accu-
mutation up to that time, than to risk
keeping over. This course we, have pur-
sued with good results. After this the
orchard may receive a top dressing and a
shallow ploughing. Such an application
will not be wasted. Where manure can
not be taken care of, it is best to apply it
to the land at once, where it will be accom-
plishing some good. .. u.ua
The manure of horned cattle contains SO
much water that it ferments slowly, and
may be composted with less trouble and less
danger. For this reason it is good to mix
with horse manure. Although it is really
of less value than the former, yet from the
better condition in which it is usually
preserved, it is often found to answer a
better purpose in practice. The value Of
manure, however, depends more upon the
