An Assassin in Prison.

! The assassin Berezowski, wht
attempted to kill the Gar, was ia
ken to Toulon on the 18th ult., tt
serve out his sentence. A letter
writer says:
Gas soon as he entered the pre-
oincts of the bagne the gray and
yellow dress of a cellular prisoner
was taken off, and the red jacket
and green cap worn by those con
demned for life was put on. The
unfortunate young man was then
taken to the prison forge-his feet
were already swollen and painful
from the long march he had just
come off. A heavy chain was
fastened to his left leg by a mas
sive ring; he did not appear to
suffer by the operation, and quietly
arose from the recumbent posi-
ton in which 1t Is always perform
ed, taking up the chain in his
hand, which otherise drags on the
ground. The head was shaved,
as it is the custom, in squares
that is, one square perfectly bare,
and on the next the hair is left a.
bout half an inch long.
Gin spite of this disiguring pro-
cess and the green cap, it was re-
marked that young Berezowski
had certain look of distinction,
and even a gentle, intelligent ex-
preston of countenance. One of
the jailors who was not aware that
his fingers had been injured, asked
him what was the matter with
his hand. 1T was the pistol, he
replied 4 was cured in three
weeks by the application of cold
water
"While his ten companions
were having their irons riveted on,
Berezowski remained quietly in a
corner of the forge, and spoke to
40 one. He will not be chained to
another convict, as is usually
he case, but will remain in one
If the convict's rooms chained to
triangle Of iron, which is fasten-
ID to the camp bed Of the prison
RS, and through which a bar is
dipped, thus preventing their mo-
1ing beyond the length of half
heir chains. In a month, unless
he wretched young man first turns
mad, he is to be sent to New Gale
|onia."

CURE FOR CoRNs.-The follow
ing receipt is vouched for as sure
cure for corns: "Put the feet for
half an hour, two or three success
i've nights, in a strong solution of
soda. The alkali dissolves the In
durated cuticle, and the corn falls
out spontaneously, leaving small
cavity, which soon fills" An ex-
change says. "We know the a.
bove remedy for coEns to be effec-
tual. We have tried it, and found
it acts like magic. But we do not
think strong solution is desirable.
We know of a friend who tried
the remedy on our recommends
ton, but he made the solution so
strong, that, with the corns, it
took off a portion of the skin ON
the foot. From one to two table,
spoonsful of soda in a small. foot
tub of hot water is sufficient to re-
move the corns, by letting the af-
ficted member remain in it ten or
fifteen minutes. ."-Prairie Far

Sleepy Bride.

The New Orleans Crescent gets
the following from one of the Sis
ters of Charity at the hospital in
that city:
Sister Mary gave an account of
a singular marriage that took place
during the morning in the chapel.
Some time ago the newspapers an
nounced that a young man had at
tempted to commit suicidein town
by shooting himself. He was ta-
ken to the Hotel Dieu, to die,
but with the care he re-
ceived he was out of danger in a
few days. The cause of his at
tempt to destroy himself then be-
came known. He was in love-
His inamorata had promised three
times to marry him and disappoint-
ed him every time. The last time
was too much, and a bullet aimed
at the heart was the end of his
misery. The cruel lady visited
him at the hospital and there she
pledged herself to him again
The ceremony was to have taken
place at s o'clock the next morn
ing. The lady again failed. The
groom was in a wretch.
ed state of mind, until he receiv-
ed a message from her that she
nad oversight herself, and would
be with him at IL o'clock. At
hat hour she was there, and the
ceremony took place.
"Only think" said Sister Mary,
'of a bride sending word that she
lad oversight herself!"

Harvest and Vintage.

l dreamed of marvellous harvest,
dreamed of threahing floor,
Where men, like grain, by angels twain,
Where garnered in measureless store
All bound in sheaves, like corn in the leaves
And failed from husk to core.
And the angels sang, with voices sweet,
"Out of the grain the dross We beat,
Out of the chaff we winnow the wheat
True souls are the wheat of nationl"
l dreamed of a wonderful vintage,
dreamed of a winepress red,
Where men, like grapes, by angel-shapes,
Were trodden with wrathful tread:
AS grapes ye work, to must and to murk,
And crush them shred by shred.
And the angels sang, with tongues divine,
"Out of the murk the must we find
Out of the grapes we mellow the wine
Brave hearts are the wine of nation"
l would that my dreams were real
That angels this land might beat,
And scourge our sod with the fails of God,
And scatter the chaf' from the wheat,
And nightly tread, in our winepress red,
All dross beneath their feet!
That our souls might sing, in joyous strain,
"Out of the chaf the wheat we gain,
Out of the murk the wine we drain
The wheat and the wine of our nation!"

was written by the young clerk,
who had taken this method Of re-
turning the money forced upon
him by the young lady. (He had
not given her his address, think
ing the matter was ended.) He
was not likely to have returned to
his former employer. Ultimately
she learned he had taken in an
other house situation far inferior
to the one he had formerly occu-
pied. Probably till then she was
undecided as to her course, for
when she heard this her mind was
made up, She wrote; he came
at once.

A Cool Husband.

There is one sensible married
man in this State. He is soldier
and was reported to have been
killed, but was only prisoner
He returned home to find that
his wife had turned over a new
leaf in the marriage service, and
that another man occupied his
seat in the chimney corner. Did
he go to work slaughtering the
false wife and new husband? p
Not much. He walked in and
said:
"Well, old gal, how are things?"
''Putty good, Bill" said the
double married woman, not taken
aback greatly.
(Which do you prefer, the old
or the new lover?"
She hesitated for an instant,
and then said:
81 don't like to hurt your teel-
ing, but-but-"
ooh, spit it right out. Don't
mind my feelings nor the other
chaps! l won't be angry if you
come down a little rough on my
vanity. Count on me being ami
able. | won't cut up rusty if you
should go back on me-"
E1'm glad you're so thoughtful,
Bill; and / acknowledge that l
do like my present husband best;
but if anything should happen to
him l know nobody else | would
so soon join fortunes with again as
you."
"That's the way to talk. I'll
now bid you goodbye, hoping
that no accident will happen to
the other fellow, and that he will
live long to enjoy your delightful
society. Good day"
And the careless husband trav-
eled off, with his knapsack on his
back, whistling in CHEEKY clear
tones, "The girl l left behind
me-"

The u. S. Language.

At Mesilla, near the Mexican
frontier, the public records and
legal proceedings are in Spanish
A Kentuckian was brought be.
fore the alcalde, or magistrate,
for assault and battery. The ma
tive Judge, with shaggy beard,
uncombed hair, and dirty face,
appeared on the bench in a soiled
calico shirt and buckskin sandles.
He knew no English. Sternly
rnotioning the Kentuckian to rise,
he ordered the sheriff to ask the
prisoner whether he spoke Span
ish.
"Narry Spanish"
"Then," said the alcalde, che
must hire an interpreter"
The delinquent, shifting his to-
bacco quid to the.other cheek, re-
piled:
"Ask him whether this court is
settled in Mexico or the United
States ?"
"In the United States!" respond
ed the angry official.
"Then tell him Il understand

Time of Selling Cotton.

Some years since, Mr.. John
Johnston, of the State of New
York, a man of worldwide cele-
brity, as a su ccessful farmer, used
the following language for wheat
growers: cit has always appear
ed to me that different course
would be better-that if farmers
would only dispose of, say one
third or one-fourth of their wheat
by the middle of November, an.
other fourth or third by the mid
die of February, and the balance
by, the opening of navigation,
they might be better rewarded
for their labor, while the cost to
the consumer would be little if
any more"
We used the same kind of adj
vice, years ago, to our brother
cotton planters, and were we to
do so now, doubtless some of the.
wise men of Radicaldom would
accuse us of folly, or disappoint-
ted ambition, yet Mr.. Johnson
can advise his brethren of the
plow to hold their grain until
consumers would needSso that the
"Jew and Gentle traders" would
not pocket more profit than the
farmer and miller. There can be
no question but what cotton plan
ters would make largely more
than the interest of the money
by selling a portion of the crop
Cotton is generally sold
from say first of October to the
first of March, and so much being
on hand the price falls and the
planter bears the loss, of course.
Suppose Illinois, Missouri, Missis-
sippi, ETC., were to crowd all their
corn and hay on to New Orleans
m three or four months, what
would be the result? We opine
hat the "Jew and Gentle traders
would require some of the farmers
o pay freight and leg their way
lome. Yet cotton planters, at
east, will continue to force on the
market all they have for sale
They will not lend an ear to rea-
on, they must walk in the foot
teps of their fathers Southern
Farmer.

CURE FOR FELoNs.-As there is
much needless suffering from fel-
ons, we deem it duty to give a
remedy which we know to be per-
fectly reliable: Take a portion
of the bark of sweet elder, or hops
will do, put it with some sweet
cream in cup, and boil short
time; then put in lump of salt
peter twice as large as pea; let it
slowly dry away to the consisten-
cy of 9 salye, which apply to the
felon. The saltpeter is the cure,
but the elder bark and sweet cream
aid in easing the pain. AS felons
sometimes make it necessary to
amputate a finger or hand, (if left
alone,) they should be attended
to at once.
