BEzEER THAN GOLD.


Better than graudusr, better inan gold,
Than rank and titles a thousand field,
Is = hsalshy body, miad n eass,
And simple pleasures that always please
A heart that can feel for auother's Wos,
And share his Joys with > genial glow,
with sympathias large enough 60 anfold
Aumen as brothers is better than gold.
Better than gold IS a conscisnce clear.
though ioilihE for bread IN an humble sphere,
Doubly blest with content and health,
Untired By the lust and cares or wealth
LoEiy living and lofty thought
AdOrn and ennoblo poor mans cot,
For mind and morals il natures plan
Are the genuins test Of q gentleman
Better than gold is the sweet reposs
OF the sons Of toll when their Iabors close
Better than gold Is the poor mans sleep,
And the balm that drops on his slumber deep,
Bringing sleepy draughls to the doway bed.
Where luxury pillows his aching head,
His simple oPiato labor seems
A shorter road 70 the land or dreams.
Better than gold Is 4 thinking mind,
That In the realms OF book can md,
A treasure surprising Australian ore,
And live with the great aud good Of yors.
The saso'a lord and the poets lay,
The Worid's great drama viii thus unfold,
And yield pleasure better than gold.
Better than gold IS peaceful home.
Where all the arezide charities come,
The shrine Of love, the heaven Of life,
Hailoued b. mother, or sister, or wife,
However humble the home may be,
Or tried with sorrow BY heavens decree,
Ths blessings that never were bought or sold,
Aud center there are better thau gold

IMPORTANT DlsC0vERIEs-A CURE FOR GH0LE-
RA AND'RINDERPEST.

A communication has been received at
the Department of State from our lega-
tion at London. inclosing two pamphlets
relating to experiments by DR. James
Dewer, of Kirkcaldy, for testing the ef-
icacy of sulphurous acid gas as disin-
fectant. Results are cited which lead to
the conviction that rinderpest, pleurisy,
pneumonia, and cholera, and some other
diseases, by which the human family are
affected, may not only be very much modi-
fed, but even wholly prevented by this
means The method of generating the
gas is very simple and is inexpensive. 1t
is only necessary to have a chatter of old
ash cinders, set small crucIbe into them,
and drop a piece of sulphur stick, the size
of a mans thumb, into it. This will
fumigate large cattle shed in twenty
minutes. The animals seem to enjoy it,
ard it acts as a tonic on man or beast.
The shed must be well ventilated dur
ing the fumigation as we'll before as after
it, and sound sanitary rules must be en-
forced In regard to cleanliness, and the
removal of dung heaps during the preva-
lence of such epldemlcs as are above
named. The fumigation may be made,
according to the foregoing directions, four
or FIVE times day, and not only IS the
treatment said to cure the fatal disease,
but it is stated that mango worms and
lice have also vanished before it, and
that severe cases of phthisis and tuber-
cular affections of the lungs have been
relieved in human beings The matter
is worthy of study and experiment by our
scientific and professional men. DR.,
brewer having literally consented to the
free use of his pamphlets, they will be
sent by the Secretary of State to an ap-
propriate committee in Congress, with a
view to their publication and distribu-
ton.

THE suBLIMlTY OF LUCK.

The fckleness of fortune is well illus
trated in the experience of a worthy fam
lily in this city, who have suddenly found
themselves raised from that condition IN
society where people are said to live in
moderate circumstances to the highest
pinnacle of wealth. The facts are these
Mrs Eli Walker, residing at No. 100
Maple avenue, is woman of English
birth Her husband (Who is a maehInIst
by trade) and herself have resided here
for a number of years, and have several
children. 1t was reported some months
ago that large property, valued at thirty
five million dollars, had fallen to Mrs.
Walkers father, as a direct heir, and he
being dead, that the whole amount be-
longed to her, as his only child. Steps
we're at once taken to ascertain the truth
of this report, and ex-Gov. L. H. Sey-
mour was employed to investigate. The
result of his investigation is entirely IA
vorable to Mrs. Walker, documents hav-
ing been received which show beyond
question that she will come in possession
of this immense property, and she, to-
gether with her husband and children,
will start for England next week to re-
ceive the golden egg.
It is said that upon full settlement of
all matters connected with this most eX-
traordinary streak Of luck, Mrs. Walk
er will return to Hartford and make her
permanent residence here. RumoT hath
It that she will erect upon some eligible
site a magnificent mansion, following the
style of the grand villas and castles Of
merry England, which shall excel in
grandeur the most costly Of American
palaces.
But the lady has not probably given
any one permission to make such state
ment It Is more reasonable to suppose
that some gossipper. thrilled by the in
telligence of the 'Windfall, has allowed
his Imagination to picture, Ea MelnOtte
pictured to Pauline, a fairy palace with
marble halls by the Lake of Como. Yet
il would not be surprising if the fortunate
possessor Of $35, 100000 in solid gold
should desire to erect here-WheTe years
of toll have been expended to furnish
daily support-a mansion suitable to
life of luxury and ease, and creditable
to the city which she adopted as a home.
We congratulate Mrs. Walker and her
family upon their good fortune. She will
be, when in full possession of her proper
ty, the richest woman in the United States.
But she is said so be q woman of good
sense, and will not place herself beyond
the reach of those who have been her
friends during the years she has lived
here. Already we learn that 1t Is her
purpose to make one family at least, IN
whom she is interested, independent Of
want; and we shall probably be called
upon hereafter to chronicle other eharIt-
able deeds which her generosity will
prompt.-Hartfor9 Comm CoWrGnt.

70 PREVENT SMUT IN WHEAT.

David Mutt, Dearborn county, Indiana,
recommends one pound Of blue vitrol in
five gallons of water as steep for seed
wheat, to prevent rust. The grain is
soaked in it an hour and soWed immedi-
ately. The usual practice is to soak the
seed in strong brine, and use about one
fourth of pound of blue vitrol (sulpbate
OF copper to Eve gallons of brine At
ter the seed has been in this pickle few
hours. it is spread on a floor, rolled in
drv Stacked lime and sowed as soon as
practicable. The brine floats of all the
light seed and also aids the copper salt in
killing the smut.

CLOVER Hay ZOE sHEEF.

Mr Fassett says when he has well-cur-
ed clover hay, cut in blossom, he never
feeds his sheep grain, unless it be to the
ewes about lambing time. and they come
out in the spring healthy and in excellent
condition. With clover, if any grain is
needed, feed oats with timothy corn is
better With plenty of well-oured clover
hay, cut in blossom, sheep need no tur-
nips or potatoes to keep them In good

TaE POINTS WELL Pur.

The Cincinnati Gazette, in its notice Of
Mr. Jewett's speech at Columbus, puts
some Of the points in issue very clearly
and sharply. We cory few paragraphs
from the article.
The Democratic party holds that the
right to seeede from the Union is SOW.
ereign right belonging to each State. Mr..
JOHNSON holds that secession IS treason.
The Democratic party holds that the
United States Government had no con-
stiutional power to use coercion to pre-
serve the Union. Mr.. JOHNSON at the
outbreak of secession declared for pre-
venting it by force. The Democratic
party holds that rebellion is no crime,
and involved no consequences to poiItlc-
al rights or State Governments. Mr..
JOHNSON holds that it is the greatest OF
crimes that it fOrfeits all political rights
which can be restored only by the Glenn
ency of the Governments, and that ii for
feited the State Government, which can
only be restored by the permission OF the
United States.
The Democratic party, laying down the
ground that the war did not legally AFFECT
the status of the States, or the political
rights Of persons, making every act OF
Mr.. JOHNSON Ia setting aside the rebel
State Governments, ordering the recon-
SGructIOn OF new unQer cO1QlJlOHS, ana
imposing political disabilities on class
Of rebels, usurpation and so The party
would declare i n terms if it were not for
the necessities of the dishonest policy it
is pursuing.
If the Democratic party we're subject to
reason. very short method would dis
pose of it. Did the surrender of the reb-
ell armies leave the rebel Governments
in legal existence, with all their rights as
before the war If itdid, how were they
legally set aside and new State Govern
ments constructed under conditions pre-
scribed by the President? IF it did was
not this policy of the President, which
the Democratic party IS pretending to en-
dorse, a violation of the Constitution,
and a usurpation of the rights of the
States But if the war left the State /
defunct. as these Democrats 4
have agreed to by indorsing Mr.. JOHN /
SON, do they not start upon the same prem
ises as the Radicals, and diverge from
them only because the Radicals hold that
the restoration of State functions must /
be done in legal manner, while the
Democrats hold that it must be done by
arbitrary central power?

"MAGNANIBfITY. The Lorain County
Neaos says: We are daily astonished at
the reasoning and arguments of apparent
ly sensible mea who are preaching the
duty of mag0animity towards the rebel
leaders, Amnesty to the misguided, igqo-
rant, and, in large degree, irresponsible
rank and file, all loyal people seem
disposed to allow. But we regret exceed
ingly the growing disposition--Of which
such men as Henry Ward Beecher, Ger
ritt Smith and Horace Greeley are the
special pleaders-to extend pardon to
those leaders upon whom rests the crime
of deliberate, causeless rebellion, with its
four years of uuspeakable sacrifice and
suffering. Would they wipe from our
statute books all laws against treason !?
Do they realize that the course they so
eloduently advocate puts a premium upon
the resort to arms as a redress for real
or fancied wrongs? Do they believe In
punishment of any crime Do they real
ize how the course they advocate under
mines the security Of all government? =?
We cannot see how, according to their
views, they find any "magnanlmlty' 10
