Hon. JOHN B1DwELL, NJ. c., writes
to friend under date of 10Th Febru-
ary, tina Reconstruction is the all-ab-
sording uestion and adds: "My hob
by is the land question: mean State
lands-to secure such legislation as will
secure to the State the lands which be-
long to her under the several grants from
Congress. But the Land Office here is
stubborn in the old way of doing bust
ness, and will consent to nothing that
will do our State any good. But | am
hopeful that Congress will yield and
give us what we ought to have-an alb
solute recognition of selections locations
of lands under State authority, so far
as the same do not conflict with the To-
cations under the National laws, up to
the present time. That will be great
point gained.

AEECD0TE OF SAM. HOUSTON.

Tie Cairo Qll.) Times gives the fol-
lowing story of General Sam. Houston ::
Old Sam. Houston, of Texas, used
to make it point to stop at Cairo
sometime for three or four days-on bis
way to and from Washington. He
usually employed his time IN fishing
from the stern Of wharf boat. On
one occasion of this kind he had a ''set-
to- with a Cairo youth, which will bear
telling about.
! The youth, ike himself, was fishing
Houston on a wharf boat and the boy
on a wood boat moored just below. At
the interesting juneture Of a -" bite" at
the boys bait Houston threw o.,t his
line, which becshe hopelessly gled
with that Of tie boy. There was a
pause. Neitle~ Sc 'aed to haye word
fit for the occasion. At last Houston
broke the silence:
"You blasted old short coat" rotor
ted the bud of promise. ''go elsewhere
yourself and fish,"

saucy boy,'' returned the Senator, ''for
whom there are, by no means, enough
rods in pickle.'
Snow, look here, old skeezicks," cried
the boy, fully agltated, Il don't want
to quarrel with you, nor nobody like
you. Your name is Sam. Dawson, and
you live in Texas and, like every body
else, you stole hoss and had to 60
there, and now you are putting on a big
shine, you old thief, and callin' your
self Sam. Houston" Saying which,
this very amiable young creature gave
a sudden lurch, and pulled the honora-
bic gentleman's rod from his hand into
the river.
| subsequently heard Houston detail
the s'set to- and he did it in style
decidedly characteristic. Concluding
the story he said {" have met men in

MARR1AGE.-We like short court

He appeared to have popped the ques-

Miss Eve, and she without any firta-

we have had, however, our own ideas ;

But the deed is done; the chance was
Adams, and he improved it. We like
the notion of getting married in gar

envious beaux were there; no croak-
ing old maids; no chatting aunts and
grumbling grand-mothers. The birds
of heaven were minstrels, and the glad
sky flung its light upon the scene.
One thing about the first wedding
brings queer things to us, in spite of its
Scriptural truth. Adam and his wife
were rather young to marry-some two
or three days old, according to the sag

babies-larger but not older-without
experience. without house, without a
pot or kettle-nothing but love and

AN Italian physician has recently
discovered a remedy for certain forms
of neuralgia. Attributing the obstlnaey
of the disease (trifacial neuralgia) to the
variations Of temperature frequent III
Sicily, he adopted the expedient of COW
ering all the painful parts with coat
ing of collodion containing a certain
proportion of hydroehlorate of NOR
ph;ne. This treatment was instanta-
neous and permanent and the coating
fell off in the course Of one or two days.

And this may very well hold in the
case of those who struggle on and cry
aloud in their apparent torture, even as
the Subject" under the surgeons knife
makes signs Of pain when his nerves
are under the blessed influence Of
anasthetics.
It's comfort to think Of such things
in these days, when steam locomotion
and steam machinery bring to so many
households the horrors Of dreadful
death to enchance the usual sorrow for
death. And, in face of the terrible
catastrophe in the Bay Of Biscay, it is
great comfort to think that si1G:ar
effect is often produced, though fsps
not to so high degree, by fatigue, by
exposure to wet and cold, by prolonged
and anxious doubt. Sea sickness has
especially and to very great degree
this effect. A man under its influence
will constantly say, ''Do with me what
you WILL" If he were to fall overheard,
he is sure he should make no effort to
save himself. If he is told that the
ship is sinking, the announcement has
but little interest for him. In that
storm in which the London went down,
long before a tenth part of the pas
sengers could have been accustomed to
the motionof the vessel, We may be sure
that there were many whose ordinary
sufferings rendered it impossible for
them to have that keen perception Of
the horrors of the situation which each
fresh detail brings to US on land. And
of the rest large numbers must have
been tired into resignation, tired by the
efforts at self-preservation and the pre-
seryation of others they had so splritedly
and so nobly made, tired by exertions
the very intentness of which precluded
the possibility of much agony of antici-
patton while such exertions lasted.
Many again of those whose sex or age
or infrmities forced them to be some
what inactive spectators of all that
went on were doutless only half alive to
their trials. The discomforts of YES
sci on which the sea was making clear
breaches, the numbness of cold and the
results of exposure to wind and spray,
the deafening noise Of the elements and
the confusion of all within the ship,-all
these and many more Influences would
be at work to reduce persons of weak
constitution to half-regardless state,
some time before death was known to be
inevitable.

Facts i'm Farming.

There are some things in farming that are
established, namely:
That, manure must be applied, not only to
get up land but to keep it up. That wet
soil must be drained, either by ditching or
otherwise. That sub-soiling is good. That
grain should be sowed earlier than it gener-
ally is; that it should be harvested earlier
than il is done that grass should be cut
when in BLOSSOM and never when ripe, I'M
less for seed. That our soil is not sufficient
" worked, especially in hood crops; that
stirring the soil and keeping it well pulver-
lied, is II partial guard against drouth That
the most advantageous grain for borses is
the oat; that it improves fodder 20 cook or
steam it. That warm shelter in winter saves
fodder, and benefits stock. The best blood
is the most profitable. That there is much
advantage in selecting the best seed, the car
liest maturcd and the plumpcst. That in
and-in breeding is not good in close and con-
sccutive relationship, but must be carried
on by foreign infusion of the same blood.
That warm quarters and good treatment are
necessary in winter to produce eggs from
most hens. That top-dressing grass lands
should be done with fine, well-rotted ma
nurc, applied close to the ground. That it
is, in general, best TO sell produce us soon as
ready for market. That blackberries re-
quirc rich soil; Strawberries and raspbcrries
vegetable mould-such as rotten leaves, chip

used. That salt, in some cases, is good for
land-also plaster, the phosphates, guano,
&c. That full ploughing is best for clay
lands; that land should not be ploughed wei.

New Theory about Falling Stars.

NJ. de Rcichcnback, IL German chemist,
whose name is connected with the discovery
of cd, a new and mysterious force of nature,
believes he has discovered the true source of
the PHOSPHORUS and magnesia distributed
over the surface of the earth. lie enunci-
atcs the hypothesis, sufficiently curious, that
it proceeds from the falling stars. NJ. de
Reichenback possesses one of the most beat
tifu collections Of prolitcs which is known
to exist; of these he has made numerous an
alyses, and published twenty-three essays;
so he is not neophyte in this study.
One day, after rejecting deeply on the
physical character of falling stars, which ev
erything leads us to believe are smaller kinds
of prolites. a sort of dust of Rrolites, NJ. de
Reichenback said to himself that this rain
of metallic powders which has fallen for so
many centuries must have left some trace
upon the earth, enough for an ingenious man
to form chemical analysis; and as the met
ais which chiefly characterize the meteorites
are nickel and cobalt NJ. de Reichenback
proposed to seek those in soil exposed to the
free air. o.
Charged with the demonstration of this
idea, he ascends the Lahisberg a mountain
of conical form, about 900 to 1900 feet in
height, and covered at the summit with beach
trees; penetrates the coppice, and selects a
spot probably never pressed by the foot of
man. or this earth he secures in horn of
paper several handfuls. As he expected,
the analysis gave him cobalt and nickel.
Samples taken from neighboring mountains
gave the same result; one yielded nickel,
another copper also.
Finally, an analysis Of the soil called
marchteld gave also traces of nickel. These
results are so much the more significant, as
the great mass of the mountains of this part
of Austria, is composed of sandstone and
calcareous matter, where there is meyer
found any metallic vein. The traces of
nickel and cobalt in the samples examined
ny the German chemist made about the ten
lhousandth part of the composition of the
earth, which seemed TO indicate a tolerably
uniform distribution of the two metals at the
surface of the soil.
Connect this circumstance with the uni
form and constant presence of PHOSPHORUS
ana magnesia, substances which also make
a part OF most @roltes, the hypothesis,
though singular, appears not unlikely. Fall
ing stars are thousands some NIGHTS. and if
we could see all those whose lights emlalled
