WIShbOyyI Divorce Case.

The latest New York scandal is of a
fashionable couple who quarreed a few
mornings since, whereupon the wife, by
the advice of her parents, sued for a di-
vorce The case is only noteworthy from
the ridiculous cause of the quarrel. One
morning it seems that the husband washed
himself, as usual, in the bowl used by both,
but the lady for same reason refused to
use it that morning, and rang the bell for
another. 1t was brought, when the now
indignant husband flung it violently on the
floor, breaking it in pieces. The wife
thereupon called him hard names. when
he locked the bedroom door. and insisted
that sho should use the bowl She vowed
she wouldn't, if she 'went with a dirty
face for week" lie swore she should =,
and SO filling the bowl, he seized her
hands, and using sufficient force, washed
her face for her. He then unlocked the
door and went to his business, while
she went to consult a lawyer, and the suit
began.

Oregon Election.

The San Francisco Examiner of the
22d ultimo, just received at this office, has
a letter from its Oregon correspondent in
reference to the Oregon State election,
which says:
"Of the forty>seven members of the
Assembly, the Democrats have twenty
four certain, one tie and two doubtful,
with about equal chances. Several of the
Blacks elected to the Assembly are pledg,
ed to Nesmith. The Serate will stand
eight Democrats, twelve Blacks. One half
of the Senators held over, and were nearly
all Blacks. Nesmith holds the balance of
power in both branches, and can be elect
ed by the Democrats, if they choose. A
majority of the Blacks will oppose him.
An Administration man will either be elects
ed or appointed by the Governor to the
Senate. There is no State in the Union
more certain for the Democracy at the
next Presidential election than Oregon"
Nesmith is the present Democratic Uni>
ted States Senator from Oregon

How goes the money! Well,
I'm sure it isn't hard to tell
1t goes for rent and water rates,
For bread and butter, coal and CRATES,
Hats, caps and carpets, hoops and hose
And that's the way the money goes.
How goes the money! Nay,
Don't everybody know the way?
1t goes for bonnets, coats and capes,
Silks, satins, muslins, velvets, grapes,
Shawls, ribbons, furs furbelOws,
And that's the way the money goes.
How goes the money? Sure,
] wish the ways were somewhat fewer!
1t goes for wages. taxes debts:
1t goes for presents, goes for bets,
For paints, pOmadc and eau de rOse
And that's the way the money goes.
How goes the money? Now,
I've scarce begun to mention how;
1t goes for feathers, laces. r:.ngs,
Toys, dolls and othei baby things,
Whips, whistles, candies, belts and bows
Anu iaats the way the money goes.
How goes the money? Come,
know it does not 90 for rum;
1t goes for school and Sabbath chimes,
1t goes for charity, sometimes,
For missions and such things as those,
And that's the Way the money goes.
How goes the money? There,
Tn out of patience, declare!
1t goes for plays and diamond pins,
For public aims and private sins.
For hollow shams and silly shows:
And that's the way the money goes.

Settling Things ;y Common Con-
sent.

\ quite sensible correspondent i'll Rad
ical morning journal proposes forever to
settle ''the negro" his own way, though, by
granting equality, fraternity, &c, &c,
whereupon he is sure, the country will have
no more trouble with this hitherto irrcprcs-
siblc element ofour politics. There would
be no war of races, Of course. The white
man and the black man would freely cons
mingle and We should be just as happy
that is certain. as they are in llayti, and
Jamaica, and in upper Egypt, Timbuctoo,
and thcreabout! But in all this, one rad
-ical essential obstacle to any settling"
progress, is not recognized, and that is the
innate, inborn, incradcablc, Paritan cle-
ment of our country, ever changing. med
ding, fussing, or rcvolutionizing. If 1.-THE
nogro" were all granted to-day, there would
be something else tomorrow, the Jew, the
Catholic. the beer-drinker, the fashions oc
the men and women in clothes, as well as
in tastes, because this element of intermcd-
ding and interfering is inborn in large
portion Of the New England element Of
the country. THIS Paritan clement is
neger happy Jm as IL makes others unhap>
Py.
The Puritan began worrying the Qua
kcr, the Baptist, and the Epscopaleon in
New England, and tormenting all-then,
with the Indian, to make slave of him,
and to exchange him for negroes from Ber,
muda, or elsewhere and so far was Mas
sachusetts, as it has been proven in Moore's
boot, from ever abolishing slavery by law
the Legislature could never be got to enact
a law. as did other New England States,
New York and Pennsylvania, the institu>
ton being gstrrd Of IN the end only by
judicial construction Of two or three men,
This Puritan prO>slayery element then ran
from actual slave trading into abolition and
antislavcry, and it keeps on running now,
for something new, as an old topic dries
up, or is killed off. There is no settling
onytaing wih such an inform disturbing
dement, IN oar Soriety. Agitation thus be-
comes necessity Of our existence, and
"the negro" now is a far safer subject than
the jew, or the Catholic, or what we shall
eat or drink Hence we should rather re
gret than be pleased over the settlement"

Farm Labor and LabOrerS.

Much time is sometimes lost and expense
unnecessarily incurred to farmers in conse-
quence of lack Of co onmunicatiyencss to-
wards their employees. 1t is by no means
bad plan for farmer to impart to his
hired help at the close of each days bust
ness, his plans and purposes with respect
to each laborer during the succeeding one.
1t may be said that this does not concern
the laborer; that he is paid for his time,
whether advantageously employed or not,
and that is all he need know or care about
the matter. Strictly speaking, this may
be true, but the policy of such reticcnce is
at least questionable. a farmer rarely or
never loses anything by imparting to his
help, before hand, his. purposes in refer
ence to immediate future operations
They are enabled frequently, from their
experience in farming operations, to make
valuable suggestions as to the particular
business in hand. Besides, being pre-ad-
vised of what is expected of them they will
think about it and hence be better prcpar-
ed to act than they otherwise would be-
This confidence detracts nothing from the
authority of the employer, while it ini>
parts spirit and energy to the employed.

Courtship is pleasant fancy game, fire.
qucntly played between the opposite sexes,
at pirate tables, and much liked by the
ladies. You commence with ''miss" first
taking your cue" from your fair challcn-
gers eyes. Be careful net to ''force" too
much; it is better t. "follow" Never
struggle for the 'lcad;" always yield it to
the lady. If she keeps you at arms
length, use the Bridge of sighs" Ex>
plain to her the delicate maneuyers of the
game-especially the advantages Of the
kiss" which you can illustrate by con-
cu.sing the ''two reds" Observe how she
"banks." and where this is important.
Tell her what Is meant by ''huesing the
cushion - and hint modestly at the kind
of cushion you would like to hug. If she
scratches" DON'T mind it, but play for
safety" or, if you have chance, "run; :"
but when you have favorable opening"
make 'bold offer" at every hazard f"
Should you have ''bad luck" try again
YOU may succeed in the ''long run" New
er think of "pocketing a balr' in your owr
head if disappointed. The maxim holds
good in courtship as in billiards, that it is
madness to make Il "shot" by which you
are sure to "hole yourself" Much de-
pends upon 'coaxing" in :his pastime.

above hints, viii generally get the best of

"TOt IL Very Bad Man,

In Mr.. Truman's Georgia letter to the
New York Times, occurs the following
passage. 1t will serve double purpose
First, to show what the people of Georgia
respectable ladies as well as gentlemen
have suffered at the hands Of bureau
agents, and, secondly, the very strange
ideas some northern people have of what it
takes to constitute "a bad man at heart. +"
We may add that every word Mr.. Tru-
man says about the brutal Massachusetts
General is true. Some Of the men tied up
by the thumbs were respectable clergymen,
who, on negro suspicious alone Of their
knowledge of certain matters, were thus
outraged. In the same neighborhood, rc>
spectacle ladies were arrested and kept
from their husbands, and even sucking
babes. for days together on no better
grounds, all the sufferers being entirely in
nocent Yet this General Wild is, in the
opinion of respectable northern man,
mot bad man at heart.' Heaven help
his standard Of good and bad
But to the extract. Mr. Truman says !:
General Tillson succeeded an individ>
ua named Wild, a Massachusetts Briga-
dicr Gcncral-not very bad man at heart,
not negro swindler like Father French,
but raving fanatic, who sought to elevate
the black man to the same footing with
intelligent and educated whites by mere
say SO. General Wild during his wild ca
reer, had a regiment of mounted colorcd
men, who were terror to Georgia. He
tied old men up by the thumbs, and allowed
negro women to strip respectable white
ladies, for the avowed purpose Of ascertain
ing whether they had anything secrctcd
about their persons, etc. General Tillson
took different Nacon iclcgropA.

NCtrHSKa Election.

The Washington Constitution says the
two United States Senators elected by the
Legislature of Nebraska are Radicals of
the Thad. Stevens pattern. 1t adds that
"the Legislature was conceived in sin and
born in corruption. State only carried by
one hundred, and eigty-six (fraudulent)
soldier votes were counted, and an error
in footing of as many more has come to
light since the Radical canvassers decided
that Nebraska is State ! Besides, in or
der to make the Legislature Republican,
one hundred and tifty-oiSht votes (says the
New York HeraldD were thrown out
This would defeat the State yet, had they
been counted. the Cass County delegates
(six votes) would have made the Lcgisla-
ture Democratic and elected two johnson
men,"

At the recent radical disunioa Congress

At the recent radical disunion Congress s.
ional convention in Evansville, Indiana,
the delegates from three counties urged
the adoption of the following resolution:
Resolved, That we regard all legislative en-
actments unnecessarily infringing upon the
rights and usages ofany portion of our people,
as unwise and impracticable, and that we are
opposed to the State imposing special taxes by
way oflicense or otherwise, upon particular
classes of citizens.
This resolution was aimed at the Gre
constructed Maine law, known as the
"Shuey bill," which the temperance leag-
uers in Indiana propose to pass through
the next legislature. A majority of the
delegates in the convention voted to reject
the resolution, thus admitting that the
enactment of law which shall burthen or
prohibit the business of one class of citi,
zens to suit the impracticable fantasies of
another class is part of the Black re-
publican programme in Indiana Chicago

tives of one of the eleven States whose peo>
pie arraycd themselves in rebellion against
the constitutional authority Of the Federal
Government. Earnestly desiring to re-,
lieve every cause Of further delay, whether
real or imaginary, on the part of Congress
to the admission to seats Of loyal Senators
and Representatives froln the State of Ten
nessee, | have, notwithstanding the anom~
alous character of the proceeding. affixed
my signature to the resolution. Ny ap-
pro7al, however, is not to be construed as
an acknowledgment of the right Of Con-
sress to pass laws preliminary to the ad-
mission of duly qualified Representatives
from any of the States. Neither is it to
be considered as committing me to all the
statements made in the preamble, some of
which are, in my opinion, without founda>
ton in fact, especially the assertion that the
State of Tennessee has ratified the amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States proposed by the Thirty ninth Cons
gress.
No official notice of such ratification has
be IN received by the Executive, or fled in
the Department of State. On the contrary,
unofficial information from the most rclia-
bic sources induces the belief that the
amendment has not yet been constitution
ally sanctioned by the Legislature Of Tens
nessee. The right of each House under
the Constitution to Judge Of the election
returns and qualifications Of It's own mem
bers is undoubtcl, and my approval or dis
approval Of the resolution could not in the
slightest degree increase or diminish tn c
authority in this respect conferred upon
the two branches Of Congress.
In conclusion | can not too earnestly re-
peat my recommendation for Tie admis>
sion of Tennessee and all other States to Il
fair and equal participation in the Nation
al Legislature, where they present thcm>
selves in the persons of loyal Senators and
Representatives, who can comply with
all the requirements of the Constitution
and the laws BY this means harmony and
reconciliation will be effected, the practi-
cal relations of all the States to the Feder-
al Government re>established, and the work
of restoration inaugurated upon the termi

ADMIRATIoN--We indeed hear it not
seldom said, that Ignorance Is the mother
or admiration. a falser word was never
spoken, and hardly a more mischievous
one ; for it seems to imply that this health
lest exercise Of the mind rests, for the
most part. on deceit and illusion, and
that with better knowledge it would cease.
For once that ignorance leads us to admire
that which with full insight we should
perceive to be common thing-and one
demanding therefore, no such tribute from
us--a hunired, nay, a thousand times. it
prevents MS from admiring that which is
admirable indeed. This is true, whether
We are moving in the region of nature,
which is the region of Gods wonders. or

region Of maa's wonders - Trench.
