CoAT OF ARMs.--There In in New York q
gentleman Of ample fortune, which he re-
ceved by inheritance, and who has never
inflicted upon himself any occupation ex-
cept that Of sensibly spending and enjoy
ing his income. Notwithstanding this no
does not ignore ha plebinn origin or nffect
nrstocratic notions, as his recent selection
Of coat Of arms for new carriage, at the
urgent request o hip wife, will show. The
lady, thinking the old carriage unfashion-
nble got the ready consent o her bnabund
for q new one; and was anxious that the
"famiy" coat Of arms should be embla-
zoned upon its pannels. This the husband
consented to, promising to sketch them
ont for the painter when the vehicle was
completed At that time the lady presen-
ted herself for his sketch Of the family
urms. Taking pen the millionaire drew
something resem bling mound; by 1t was
stuck manure fork, and upon the fork
was pcrched Chanticloer, rampant.
"Why, what IL this 2" asked madam,

"This," said tho man of money, "is our

said that he wanted his body conveyed 10

Fowls EATING THEI. FEATHERs.-This
is one of the most annoying habits to
which domestic fowls are addicted. II isa
morbid appetite, apparently induced by
the impatience Of the fowls under o1hne,
food, raw bones, oyster she lis and charcoal,
broken fine, and q variety Of grains, with
clean water and clean apartments. Some
times a particular fowl shows q more in
veterate disposition to eat fei thers than
the rest Of the flock; it is best in such casas
to remove or kill such fowls. II is sup
posed that this habit is FIRST induced while
the fowls are mouIting, and their pin
feathers are filled with blood, of which
they are very fond,

Resting.


The Northern Pacific Railroad scheme,
which has been so energctically urged
upon Congress by its lobbyfriends, but
which met with strong opposition from un-
expected sources. was voted upon the Ia
bic, the other day, where it is now resting.
It is not quite as dead, however, as it should
be, although it has given out very bad
odor, for several days.
The Government was to start the work
with a bonus of sirty-HiRe millions Of dol
lars and donate it lands to the generally
estimated value Of four hundred and dseUenty-
three millions sic hundred thousand H,orel
The carrion was fought over so fercely
that, as a cotemporary has said, the House
was ashamed to have the people know of
the disgraceful proceedings attending its
action upon it, and when the debate had
continued for some time, the galleries were
cleared from the reporters, and outsiders
were excluded from the floor The debate
throughout was exciting, and the charge of
corrupt influences in connection with the
measure was repeatedly made.

AnImnortant Decision.

Judge HoAR, of the Supreme Court of
Massachusetts,, and an eminent legal au-
thority, has upset prevalent idea, that all
legal instruments were invalid, il not
stamped, according to Revenue bureaucratic
formula. The New Bedford Mercury says
of the case:
''In case before the Supreme Judicial
Court in Taunton, yesterday, the question
of the validity of a ueed, to which no reve-
nue. stamp was affixed. was raised. Judge
lIoar unhesitatingly decided, that the alb
scnce of the stamp does not nvalidate the
deed He questioned whether Congress so
intended in framing the internal revenue
law. but was clear in the opinion. that n
statute of the United States. undertaking
to invalidatc an instrument which by the
laws of n State is valid, would be unconsti-
tI,ional. The government may exact a
penalty for failure to afliX a stamp, but
can not make void the instrument for the
lack of the stamp"
The above appears to us to be a very just
decision, and it is some comfort in these
days of federal usurpations to find even in
Massachusetts some men who believe in
the validity of State law, even when it
runs counter to the provisions OF federal
statute.
