EARTHQUAKE IN FRANcE.-on the morn
ing of the 9th September, a severe shock of
earthquake was felt in Paris and its neigh
borhood, especially in the direction of Yer
sailles, in which town persons say that when
awakened by the motion they heard crack
ing of the walls and floors, and the first
shock was followed by several others At
Boulogne and Anteuil beds were shaking,
and glasses standing near one another on
tables and shelves were heard ringing At
Cretell Montretout, Vile d. Array, and
Haut Sevres, similar phenomena were OBJ
served. At1'ours nearly all the inhabitants
were reused from sleep. A correspondent
writes that he was rocked on his he'd like
child in a cradle, Atone Of the principal hotels
of the town a corniee was thrown down, aud
at one of the cafes all the beer in the cellar
was thickened. At Limoges a strongly
pronounced Vibratory movement from east
10 south was felt for three seconds Similar
accounts are received from Rouen, Nantes,
Anglers and Angouleme. The shock lasted
about six seconds, and was accompanied by
dull heavy sound. The barometer fell six
millimetres.

PREPARING FOR ANOTHER WAR.-The
Evansville (Indiana) journal says:-A gen
tleman who has just made trip to New
Orleans on a fiat boat, and had excellent
opportunities along the coast of ascertaining
the sentiments, hopes and purposes of the
people of the South, says the feeling of hatred
and rebellion against the North is two-fold
worse than in 1861, when last he had coasted
along the Mississippi The people openly
declare that they are preparing for another
revolution, and that it will not be postponed
beyond the next Presidential election, while
many feel and express the belief that they
are ready now. They declare that in the
next war there shall be no flags Of truce.
They expect to find Kentucky unanimous
for the South, and boast that they will show
the people north of the Ohio the ravages of
war. He talked with Col Ward, brother
in-law of JEFF. Davis, who declared himself
in favor of immediate hostilities. The SEN
timents of this gentleman fully correspond
with the sentiments contained in a letter
from Louisiana, published in the Journal
few days ago. Certain movements on the
part of the President indicate that he is to
participate in this second revolution, aud it
will be the fault of the loyal men OF the
country if they are unprepared TO meet it,
whether ii comes this year or next.

A PERFECT ANTIDoTE FOR ALL PoIsoNs.
"A plain farmer says; at is now over
twenty years since learned that sweet oil
would cure the bite of rattlesnake, not
knowing it would cure other kinds ofposon.
Practice, observation, and experience have
taught me that it will cure poison of any
kind, both on man and beast. | think no
farmer should be without bottle of it in his
house. The patient must take spoonful OF
it internally, and bRthe the wound for a cure.
To cure a horse it requires eight times as
much as it does for man. Here let me say
of one of the most extreme cases of snake
bites in this neighborhood: Eleven years ago
this summer, where the case had been thirty
days standing and the patient had been
given up by his physicians, heard of it,
carried the oil and gave him one spoonful,
which effected a cure. 1t is an antidote for
arsenic and stryohnine. 1t will cure bloat
in cattle by eating too freely of fresh clover;
it will cure the sting of bees, spiders or other
insects; and will cure persons who have
been poisoned by low running vine grow
ing in the meadows, called ivy"

WHAT NEWSPAPERS DO FOR Norm
THING.-The following should be read
and pondered well by every man who
taxes a newspaper without paying for
it.
My observation enables nae to state as
a fact, that publishers of newspapers are
more poorly rewarded than any other
class OF men in the United States who
invest an equal amount of capital, labor
and thought. They are expected to do
more service for less pay, to stand more
sponglnS and dead beading, to puff and
defend more people without fee or hone
OF reward, than any other class.
They credit wider aud longer oct of
tener cheated. suffer more pecuniary loss
are ottener the victims of misplaced con-
hdence, than any other calling in the
community. People pay printers bill
with much more reluctance, than anv
other. 1t goes harder with them to
spend dollar in a valuable newspaper
than ten in a needless gewgaw vet every
body avails himself OF the editors p.1
and the pinter's ink.
How many professional aud political
regulations and fortunes have been made
and sustained by the friendly though
unrequited pen of the editor ? How
many embryo towns and cities have been
brought into notice and puffed into
prosperity by the press How manv

The Democracy of Pennsylvania in

pie were lately in rebellion, are inte.

accord to those EN- noipated all their
rights OF person and property.
4. That each State has the exclusive
right TO regulate the qualifications of
its own electors.
8. That the white race alone is enti.
tied to the control OF the Government

principles of the Constitution and the
policy of restoration contained in the

7. That the nation owes to the brave

Lie in wait on land and sea,

Comes tbe long entreated day.
What are lesser words. to him ?
Sweet pursuing voice. s4y,-

Never nothing need or name.
