BEDs.-In France there are no feather
beds, only mattresses, very soft and elias
tic, of carded wool; but the objection to
them is, that they are hot to sleep upon
in warm weather. In England, among the
middling and lower classes, feather beds,
constantly are the rule.
A working man or servant, when he is
about to marry, considers feather bed ono
of the grand articles of furniture to be pro-
vided; and, though when the expense
increases, and poverty comes, it is pretty
sure to be sent to the pawnbroker still, it
is one of the last things to go-the bed
stead generally. is sent before the feather
bed, and the family repose on the floor
Among the higher classes feather beds are
now disappearing fast. Medical authority
pronounce them unwholesome for children,
and children are cared sufficiently to ensure
that their beds should be what are most
suitable. As these children grow up, they
keep to the habits of their childhood and
when their own houses and establishment
are provided, feather beds are avoided.

Curious History of a State.

The territory now known as Wisconsin
Was claimed by France, on ths ground OF
discovery by its missionaries and travellers
in 1910, yho governed it until they coded it
to Great Britain, 1863 1t was held by the
British nation until 1883, when it was ceded
to the United States. Itwas then claimed
by Virginia, for one year, when she ceded
all her possessions, northwest Of the Ohio,
to the United States. Wisconsin was then
thrown under the territorial government of
Ohio, by the ordinance of 1887. On the
4th OF July, 1900, Indian Territory. was or
gained, and Wisconsin placed under it's
jurisdiction, where it remained until 1909.
when Illinois Territory was organized, and
it was attached to that territory until April
18th, 1878, when Illinois became State
1t was then attached to the Territory of
Michigan, until organized as the Territory
Of Wisconsin, July 4th, 1886.
So that Wisconsin was governed by the
king Of France ninety three years by the
king of Great Britain twenty years by the
State of Virginia one year; by the terri
tory of Ohio sixteen years by Indian ter
ritory nine years; and by Michigan terri
tory eighteen years. She continued ter
ritory Of the United States nearly twelve
years, when on the 18th of March, lS4S,
she became the thirtieth state OF the Union.

What Caleb Gushing Says.

CALEB CUSHING, according to the Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
Herald, is responsible for some remarkable
uttcrances on the subject of the reconstruc
ton injunctions. He says the South will
gain nothing by. these applications. The
Southern people, he declares, lost all
through the total want of moral courage in
Gen: LEE, and when LEE made his capitu-
lation he surrendered his whole people to
the tender mercies of New England. Proud
in the hour of triumph over herancient but
now fallen foe, the South is now PROSTATE
country, lying ike headless- body exposed
to. the spurn of the passer-by. New Eng
land has the reins, and while she holds them
she will drive rough shod over the con-
quered States, and place the cup she has
prepared even to the lips Of her hitherto
Northern allies. But thehour cometh, says
Gen. CusHISG-and he thinks it no further
away thansthe next administration-when
the awakening people of the West, who.have
in the past followed the lead of the East,
will assert that giant strength whose ire
sistible power is to control the future of this
country. The East may at present have the
cultivated genius and refined Intelligence /:
but even these it cannot always claim !;
while the West will soon WELD that pom.
derous common sense which is to wipe over
the flimsy cobwebs of legislation now being
spun in the land, and, with that mighty
singleness of purpose which ever flows from
that fountain, re-establish. the Union and
found that more perfect union" contem-
plated by the constitution.

a Female Fiend
From the Cresco (Iowa) Times.


Men are eft times overtaken with dire
calamities, sometimes the result of expos
ure, imprudence, or the fendiSh melevo-
lence OF some Of their fellow beings But
nothing can be much more terrible though
than to deprive, or to make the attempt, Of
his eyesight. Such an attempt was made
in this town last Monday morning. The
peculiar relations of the parties, husband
and wife, would seem to place the case in a
more distressing light Last Monday morn.

thinking that the material was anything
dangerous, ran out in the snow to wash il

that something had ought to be done for its

been particularly unfortunate for the past
few months. Reverses in business, fol-
lowed by long and severe spell of sickness,
from which he had not fnlly recovered, fol-

led to the commission Of the deed, though

ton for it.

A British Vessel Boarded by Fenians
From the Cleveland Leader, Way s.

On Saturday the British schooner Elk,
captain Gubbins, from Toronto, arrived at
this port with load of lumber for Messrs.
Sturtevant, Bell & Cartwright. On Sun
day, about two clock in the afternoon, as
the vessel was lying at hel dock, she was
visited by twenty five or thirty men, who
ranged themselves on lumber pile over
looking the deck of the vessel. Two of
their number went on board, and demanded
of the captain that the British flag which
was flying, as is the custom of all vessels
on Sunday, should be taken down. They
said they were Fenians, and had fought
that flag at Lime Ridge, and other places,
and would not consent to see it flying here
or elsewhere. The captain told them that
they should consider what they were doing,
that it was grave offense to insult the flag
of any nation in friendly port, and ad
vised them to go away peaceably. They
insisted on its being hauled down and
threatened to do the work themselves if the
captain did not comply with their wishes.
The captain still refused follower the flag
of his nation, when they took the halyards
in their own hands and pulled the flag down
to the deck of the vessel. There were but
one man and two boys on board the vessel
at the time, and the captain knew it would
be OF no use to oppose them.

The American Chapel at Rome.


Thurlow Weed publishes in the New
York Commercial a private letter from Mr..
King, our minister at Rome, in which be
thus disposes of the story that the Ameri-
can chapel for the worship of Protestants
had been banished outside the walls, taking
as text the allegations contained in an ed
itorial of the N. Y Times:
n \ Well, in the first place, the repre-
sentative of the United States has not yet
been asked =" to remove his place of
worship" &c. aud, in the second place,
he has never been g obliged to shirk out
side Of the walls of Rome of a Sabbath
morning." &C., &c. In other words, the
story to which the Times gives such con-
spicuous insertion, and on the strength of
which 1 came in for such severe rapping
over the knackles, is uhoUy untrue The
American chapal is just where it has beer
all the season, and not at all likely to be
disturbed. 1t was separated from the lega-
ton at special request and by the sponta.
neous act of the clergyman (Rev. DR.. Ly-
man J and vestry, who desired to set up for
themselves; and when the two Scotch
Presbyterian congregations were notified
that they must 60 outside the walls, l had
the arms of the legation trans erred to the
building in which the Americans met for
public worship. with the view to prevent
any interference by the authorities with our
services. 1t seems to have been effectual,
and no interference has occurred or is an
ticipatcd.
Always truly, &c.. RUFUS KING.

An Innocent Man Convicted and Hung

From the atlanta (Ga.) Intelligencer
In the recent trial Of the parties charged
with the murder of Captain J.<F. Cruber,
MIR. TRULY, one of the consul for the de-
fence, narrated the following story:
The whole case was made up of circum-
stantial evidence of the loosest character,
and to illustrate the unreiability of the
best and strongest circumstantial evidence,
he referred to trial which took place in
this court about thirty years ago.
Judge Canonge then presided in the
Court, and MIR. Muzureau was the Attor-
ney General. There then lived on the
bayou road man about twenty five or thirty
years old. He was not an educated nor a
wealthy man, but he was honest and had a
good heart. Having had limb broken he
was inGrm in health. He made his livei-
hood by going to the bayou st. John every
evening and catching fish to sell in the mar
ket the next morning. One moonlight eve
ming, while sitting on the bank ofthe bayou
fishing, as usual, he saw lady dressed in
white, in company with gentleman, walk
ing on the road beside the bayou. They
were Qnarreling as they passed him, and his
attention was attracted by hearing them
quarrel After they had passed he resumed
his fishing, and waited till he had caught
his usual supply. He then started home
with his basket. As he reached the place
known as the "Caquet he heard loud
cry, and soon after a feeble cry. Advanc-
ing in the direction Of the sound, he say a
woman in white gown lying on the pave
ment, and coming to the woman perceived
that dagger had been stabbed into her
bosom. Thinking to relieve her he took the
dagger by the handle and drew it out. AS
he did so Waterman grasped him. The
woman was dead
The poor fisherman was tried for the MUIR
der. The case was made out clearly against
him. He had been detected in the very
act, bending over the body of the deceased
with the weapon in bis hand. He was con-
victed and hung in Congo square About
six months after, trial was going on in
Judge Canonge's Court. A citizen, called
as juror, said he did not wish to be on the
Jury, and wished to speak a few words to
the Judge. The Jud &c allowed him pri-
vate conversation. Surprising he might
have scrnples about capital punishment,
the Judge asked him if that was the reason
he objected to being onethe jury. "No, I"
he answered, that is not the reason /
saw the fisherman hung for the. murder Of
my wife. He did not do it. / did it u.ys
self from jealousy The Judge sat petri-
fed The man made for the door, escaped.
and has not been heard Of since.

THE Most BEAUTIFUL HAND.-Two
charming women were discussing one day
what it is which constitutes beauty in tho
hand. They differed in opinion as to the
shape of the beautiful member whose mer-
its they were discussing. A gentleman
friend presented himself, and, by common
consent, the question was referred to him.
It was delicate matter. He thought Of
Paris and the three goddesses. CHANGING
from one to the other of the beautiful
white hands presenting him, which, BY
the way he had the cunning to hold for some
time in his own for the purpose of exam
ination, he replied at last 81 give it up;

the poor, and they will tell you that tho
most beautiful hand in the world is tho

A lesson in itself sublime,
AlessOn worth enshrining,
Is this ~ take no note of time,
Save when the sun is shining
These motto words dial bore,
And wisdom never breaches -
Ts human hearts a better lore.
Than this short sentence teaches.
As life issometines bright and fair,
- And ometimes dark and lonely,
Let as forget its pain and care,
And note its bright hours only.
There is.no grove on earth's brosd chart
But has some bird to. cheer it;N
So hope sings in every heart,
Although we may not~hear it.;
And if to-day the heavy wing
Ut sorrow is depressing,
Perchance to-morrow's sun will bring
The Weary heart a blessing
For life is sometimes bright and fair,
And sometimes dark and lonely;
Then let's forget its tolls and care,
And note its bright hours Only.
We bid the joyous moments haste,
And then forget tn ir glitter,
We take the cup of life, and taste
No portion but the bitter;
But We should teach our hearts to deems
Its sweetest drops the strongest -
And pleasant hours should eyer seem
To linger round US longestS
AS life is sometimes bright and fair.
And sometimes dark and lonely,
Let US forget its toll. and care,
And note its bright hours only.
The darkest sh adows nf &ba Wiki
Are just before the morning;
Then let US wait the coming light,
All boding phantoms scorning;
And while we're passing on the tide
Of Times fast ebbing river,
Let's pluck the blossom by its side,
And bless the gracious giver.
As life is sometimes bright and fair,
And sometimes dark and lonely,
We should forget its pain and care,
And note its bright hours only.
