for the encoura cement of branch
of manufactures which may not have
half million of capt. al engaged in
it IN the whole country. This is
NEST unjust and oppressive, and
ought to be frowncd on by the COM
mon sense of the people. If we
cannot practice an economy and
skill, such as all other countries
have to use, in sustaining a fair
competition with their neighbors,
our manufacturing interests will
suffer, and ought to suffer, when
they undertake branches Of business
to which our climate and cur cir
cumstances arc WI oily unadapted.
Americans have a great natural
aptitude for ingenius machinery,
for skiIlful labor, for economy in
production, and for intelligent in
dustry. We ought to encoura ge
and to depend far more than We do
upon this reso urce, but our recent
legislation is positively discourage
ing this quality, and foreign indus
try looks with smiling self-eongrat-
ulation upon the folly which is un-
dermining our progress and improve :
ment by accustoming our manufae-
lures to artificial protection, while
it debilitates skill, prudence, and
economy in production.

Rev. DR.. Bellows On the
Tariff.

Rev. DR.. Bellows is improving
his trip to Germany by writing
home letters to the Unitarian Or
gan in New York, in one of which
occurs the following sensible re-
marks touching our absurd tariff
enactments
There is one thing about English
manufacturing capital which de-
serves special commendation. 1t
depends upon increase of skill and
adaptationof circumstance to secure
it's returns, and does not expect
that the government will fly to its
rescue with an extravagant tariff
the moment it discovers miscalcu-
lation in it's plan. In America ev-
cry local interest or private manu-
facture, the moment it finds it's ILL
chosen business incapable Of con-
tending with the competition Of
countries favored by cheaper labor
and better skill, hurries to congress
and demands protection which
costs the nation perhaps million
or two of dollars in enhanced prices

To KEEP BUTTER IN THE Sum
MER.-A simple mode of keeping
butter in warm weather, whore ice
is not handy, is to invert common
flower pot over the butter, with
some water in the dish in which the.
butter is laid. The orifice at the
bottom may be corked or not The
porousness of the carthenwarc will
keep the butter cool.
1t will still be cooler if the cork
be wrapped with wet cloth. Not
the porosity Of the earthenware,
but the rapid abstraction of heat by
external evaporation causes the but
ter to become hard.

Gems Of Thought.

Love and Respect are rarely found
in lost fortune, and advcrsity sell
dom meets with the return Of friend
ship.
TIE DECAY OF NATURE.-How
dreadful that the faircst of created
things bear, in their very lovcliness,
the seal and sign of their decay
Uncleanliness and sluggishness
generally 90 hand in hand; for the
obtuseness of mind which disposes
a man to waste the most precious
hours of his exhistcnce in debasing
sleep will naturally make him neg
lect his person.
EARLY RIsING.-Every circum-
stance contributes to render early
rising advisable to those who are in
the enjoyment of good health. There
is no time equal in beauty and fresh
ness to the morning, when nature
has just parted with the gloomy
mantle which night had flung over
her, and stands before us like a
young bride, from whose aspect the
veil which covered her loveliness
has been withdrawn
SYMpATHY.-If' the image of my
friend rises up spontaneously, as it
were, in the mind, and dwells there
like an actual presence, so that
every lineamcnt of the countenance,
every glance of the eye, is repre-
sented as vividly as if they were in
deed before me, and the sound of
their voice is in my ear, [ firmly
believe that at the very moment
that person is thinking Of me. This
is sympathy. Why, if this is not
the case, does that phantom rise up
uncalled for by any previous word,
thought. or association? Impress
ed with this deli ghtful conviction
| hold sweet communion with the
absent, and in the atmosphere Of
thought enjoy the purest sensation.

An UndOubted Fact.

We see that well informed Rad
ical journal comments upon the fact
that Senators Yates, of Illinois,
and Chandler of Michigan, have a
fatal habit of quitting that in their
mouths which steals away their
brains.'' We suppose that the
journal in question alludes to Radi-
cal arguments which as general
thing do drive people crazy if pur-
sued too far. OF course, we cannot
suppose that the Rad editor had
reference to extracts from corn or
rye, such practice beingeonfined al
together to "copperheads."

Reconstructed Tennessee

A special despatch from Nashville
the 29th gives us some further ac-
count of the effect of the reconstruct
tive process in Tennessee
General Cooper has received very
exciting letters from various por-
tious of Middle Tennessee. A prom
incnt republican from Giles county
wrote the general: "Owin@ to the
dcplorable condition Of affairs in tins
county, we are compelled to request
you to send us a company of state
guards. "
Last Saturday deputy sheriff
Reader boasted that no radical sher-
iff should ever rule over Giles county
as he would be shot at from every
bush. A gentleman from Lincoln
county writes that there is reign
of terror on FaTis creek. Joe
Rodgers, who heads party Of dcs-
peradocs, boasts that he has Grim
soned his hands in Yankee blood,
and intends to do it again.
Another writes from De Kalb that
a few days since some rebels went
where the negroes were carrying on
q meeting at Alexandria, and fired
into them.
General Cooper has numerous ap-
plications for troops.
A call has been issued for a state
convention of the colored people, to
meet in Knoxville on the 9th
proximo.
Only eighty thousand electors
were disfranchised at the late Ten
nessec clection-and no peace.

HORACE GREELEY was last week nomi-
mated to the Senate as Minister to Aus
tra. The only Senator who objected to
him was Mr.. Thomas w. Upton, Of Ne
braska. He opposed taking up the nomi-
nation, because Mr.. Greeley is on jeff
Davis bail bond and had denounced the
execution of Maximilian. Consequent
ly we are without a Minister at the Aus
trian Court. The Cincinnati Gazette
"docs up" Mr. Upton after the follow
ing style:
Mr.. Tipton, Senator from Nebraska,
solitary and alone, sustained upon his
shoulders the burden of patriotism when
the whole Senate beside him had fallen
away. His ample Western foot stuck
TO the mark of principle when all Others
backslid From the bracing air of the
Western plains came the energy which
rescued Republican virtue from surren-
der byenervated civilization. Thus while
national life decaysin Eastern etfeteness,
it IL perpetually renewed in the virgin
purity of the West. In that great crisis
MIR. Upton alone stood up in that degen-
crate assembly and prevented the un-
faithfulness OF sending to. represent this
nation ut the court of Austria, Horace
Greeley, who went bail for Jefferson
Davis. Let Mr.. Upton be commemora-
ted by statue of immortal brass, in the
attitude of Atlas sustaining upon his
shoulders the globe of national patriot
ism, and let it have all that rugged cor
rugation OF the muscles of the loins and
legs, to show the Atlean weight he car

THE able argument of George William
Curtis In the New York Constitutional
Convention in favor of female suffrage,
was met by concise assertions that the
bestowal of the ballot upon women would
degrade them to the level of masculine
strife; and that while Madame Restell
and all the New York prostitutes would
go TO the polls, the virtuous and intelli-
gent women of New York could not be
dragged there with log-chains.
AS regards the first of these PROPOSE
tions, says the Detroit Tribune, eve are
not aware that that very considerable
class of women who take as much inter
est in politics as they would If they were
voters, are thereby degraded to the level
of masculine strife And as regards the
other branch of the argument, while we
do not believe that majority of the re-
spectacle women of the nation are anXi-
ous TO become voters, we believe that II
the ballot were bestowed upon them,
they would take good care that an over
whelming majority of female votes were
cast upon the side of law, order, temper
ancc, morality, and religion. Very like
ly prostitutes would swarm around the
ballot-box, as their male associates dc
now; but before women had voted many
years the number of these outcasts would
be- greatly diminished.

Cold in Spitzenbergen.

No description can give an adequate
idea ofthe intense vigoro of the six months
winter in this part of the world. Stones
crack with the noise of thunder: in a
crowded hut the breath of the occupants
will fall in flakes of snow; wine and spir-
its turn to ice, the snow burns like caus-
ticj If iron touches the skin it brings the
flesh away with it; the soles of your
stockings may be burnt off your feet be-
fore you feel the slightest warmth from
the fire; linen taken out of boiling water
instantly stiflens to the consistency of a
wooden board, and heated stones will
not prevent the sheets of the bed from
freezing. If these are the effects of a
climate within an alright, ,fire-warmed,
crowded hut, what must they be among
the dark, storm-lashed mountain peaks
outside I?

THE st. Louis Democrat describes Cap
tain James b. Eads's plan for a bridge ut
that city, which will cost nearly five
millions, will accommodate two double
tracks Of rails, one broad gauge, the 9TH
er narrow, foot passengers and street rail-
way cars, and will not interfere with
navigation. OF the three arches, the
central one is five hundred and ninety
seven feet span. The two piers which
will support these arches, will be heavy
masses of masonry, planted upon the
rock, which is from fifty to seventy-five
feet below the sandy bed. Taking this
into consideration, the pier, at the deep
est part of the river, will be two hundred
feet in hight, one hundred and ten feet
in width, and with breadth tapering
from fifty-five feet to forty feet. The
other will be one hundred and seventy
feet in hight as the rock is some thirty
feet nearer to the river bottom.
