day noon 10 Monday night. 1t was finally
carried by a vote of co to 45. Resolutions
previously offered in regard 10 adjournment until
MAY J. and the Fall election, were withdrawn
by their movers. In Committee of the Whole upon
the Finance and Canal Reports the discussion hinged
upon assessments and taXatons. and provoked
fierce war of words between Mr.. Hutchins (Rep,
New-York) and Messrs. Church (Dem., Orleans) and
1Ylden Dem New-Yorkl. Mr Hutchins boldly
charged upon the Democracy the forgery of names of
members of the Finance Committee to portions of
the report to which they strongly Obiected-which
fOrgeTies were set ailOat by The ArgUS and
The U0rld-and taxed that party with

system of taxation for personal property

was done upon a system of credit. At the afternoon
session, Mr. AvOrd Rep OnOndagal further charged

BUTCHERY OF NEGROES-Two WITNESSES SHOT
DOWN BY THE MURDERER IN COURT
Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1867-02-16

Connected with a regiment Of soldiers
stationed in barracks in Dublin was n
private named Richard Mellen, one of
those earnest, heroic workers for Christ
Of which the early annals Of Methodism
furnish many examples. When oil duty
he was incessant in labor to win souls,
and among the converts won by his
aifestionate zeal was the wife Of William
Haughton. She was woman of resolute
character, and, with a boldness which
perhaps outran discretion, invited Mellen
10 preach at her house, in spite of the
bitter opposition Of her husband. He
resented the liberty taken in his house,
and irritated by the taunts of his asso-
ciates in the club, swore terrible oath
that he would turn the preacher into the
street.
One day when the house was crowded
he determined TO put the threat into exc
cution. He rose with defiant look, and
with a courage stimulated by liquor, ap-
preached Mr.. Mellen to thrust him out
BY force. The preacher suspected his
purpose, but felt no fear With an un-
ruf,ied calmness OF face, and voice that
never trembled, he looked steadily at the
approaching ruffian, and continued read
ing hymn for singing. The poor wife
trembled at the scene, and could only
lift her heart to God in earnest prayer.
The prayer was answered quite other
wise than she had dared to hope. The
preacher read the words,
"Ifyou tarry till you're better,
You will never come ut all"
And these words were carried home
to William Haughton by the power of
the Holy Ghost. He stopped suddenly
in his forward movement, gave loud
cry, and fell senseless to the floor. When
he came to himself he was humble and
penitent, in great agony of mind for his
sins, and at last found peace in trusting
in Jesus.
He was toolmaker by trade, and had
large basement for work under his
house. This basement was at once
opened for meetings, and became great
centre for effective Christian labor. 1t
was spiritual birthplace for many souls.
Summeriield was attracted thither by
reports of the great change wrought in
the profane drunkard, and came to see
and hear some new thing. His impressi-
BILE nature was touched his conscience,
long uneasy, was agitated by bitter re-
morse; he felt the need of Christian
prayer and sympathy and at last an as
surance of new birth brought him unut-
terable peace In this humble basement
the eloquent preacher began his Christian
life by shouting 'Glory !" and here his
first exhortations gave promise of that
wonderful sweetness and pathos which
clothed with power his brief ministry.
A cobbler's shop was the school where
John Angel James began to work for
Christ, and John Summerfeld received
his first training for the pulpit in tool
makers cellar. One learns from such
instances never to despise the day of
small things. Watchman and Reflector.

Josh Billings on Courtship.

Courtin is q luxury, it is ice water, it
is a pla spell of the sole. The man who
has never courted has lived in vain. He
has been blind man among the land
scapes, he has been a def man in the
land of hand organs and by the side of
murmurin canals. Courtn is like two
little springs of water that starts out
from under a rock at the foot of noun
tain, and runs down hill, side by side,
singin, dancin, spatterin each other,
edyin, and frothin, and kaskadin, now
hidin under the bank, now full of shad-
der, bymeby they jine, and then go slow.
| am in favor of long courtin; it gives
the parties chance to find out each
others trump cards. Itisgood exercise,
and is Just as innocent as five merino
lambs.
Courtin is like strawberries and cream;
wants to be did slow, and then you have
got the flavor. | have seen folks get ac.
quainted, fall in love, get married, settle
down and get to work in three weeks
from date.
This is the way that some folks larn
trade, and akounts for the great number
vi oho POoi
jobAthey turn out
Perhaps it is best should state sum
good advice to young men who are about
to court with view to matrlmony, as it
was.
In the first place, young men, you
want to get yure system all right, then
find young woman who is willing to be
courted on the SQUARE
The next thing is to find out how old
she is, which you can do by asking her,
and she will say she is 10 years old, and
this you will find won't be far out Of the
wa.
The next thing is to begin moderate,
sa once in every mite in the week for the
fust six months, increasing the dose as
the pashent seems to require.
1t is fust rate wa to court the girls
mother little in the start, for there is |
thing woman never despises, and that
is little good courtin, if it is done on
the square,
After the first year you will begin to
get acquainted, and will begin to like
the dizziness.
There is one thing | always advise,
and that is not to swop iotygraphs
oftener than wunst every l6 daze, unless
you forget how the gal looks
Occasionally you want to look sorry
and draw in your wind as tho you had a
pain; this will set the girls tn teezin you
10 End out what ails you.
Evenin meetins are q good thing to
tend. 1t will keep yure religion in tune,
and if yure gal happens to be there, bl
accident, she can ask you to go home
with her.
Aza general thing, ! woodn't brag on
other girls much when lwas a courtin.
1t might look as tho yu knu tew much.
Ii yu court three weeks in this wa, all
the time on the square, II yu don't sa It
is the sleekest time Of yure life, you can
60 to the cheap store and get measured
for plug hat at my expense and pay
for it.

Yankees" "
We have received the following:

We have received the following:
90 The question has often been asked
me- What is the origin of the word
Yankee. Please tell an old subscriber
-. H. NJ.
There has been q good deal of dispute
about this. 1t is certain that the term
was used first by the native Indians,
and applied exclusively to the white
colonists of New England From the
beginning the Indians used it to desig
nate the white men that would lie to
them and cheat them, as distinguished
from other white men who were friendly
and truthful towards them. The fancy
has been entertained that it was cor
ruption of " York men" but this is an
swered by the aseertained fact that the
Indians used the term before what is
now New York ever fell into English
hands. The most rational answer is,
that Yankee is the Indian corruption of
AHgIaise, the French for English. The
French, by way of explaining to the
Indians why some white men were such
rogues and liars, and cheated the poor
Indians so, told them these we're An
glafse" or English" As this was the
common character of the Puritans, the
Indians took to calling them Angldise-
eorrupted to YANKEES" meaning ly-
ing, cheating, msddling white men =
The name has been continued, and the
race, unfortunately, though now in rapid
process of extinction, is still very
troublesome. = Mem York Freeman's

Quinine in the Tissues of Animals.

Chemistry and the microscope are re.
vealing new elements in the structure Of
animal bodies in most UNLOCKED for
character. These discoveries, at first
seemingly matters Of m ere curiosity, are
not long in finding their practical appli-
cation. One of the last is that made by
DIR. Henry Bence Jones, which he an
nounced in lecture last year before the
Royal Institution of Great Britain. 1t is
that of substance closely resembling
quinine in tho tissue of animals, living
as we'll as dead. He calls it animal qui-
nine. Dr. Jones has also shown that
when sulphate of quinine, the article so
commonly prescribed under the name of
quinine, is given to animals, it rapidly
passes from the blood, which'it soon en-.
tiers, into all the tissues, even into the
crystalline lens.
From the experiments OF DIR. Jones
arise, he thinks, two hopeful prospects
of possible discovery: lst As to the
explanation of the cause and cure of
ague. I'd. As to the treatment of dis
eases in parts of the body external to the
blood vessels. Assume that substance
like quinine exists during health-in the
animal textures, can its rapid destruc-
ton and removal through the action of
marsh miasma give rise to ague? Does
quinine cure by furnishing substance
which retards the changes going on in
the textures? And in the we'll known
property of arsenic to preserve organic
substances have we also the explanation
of its powers in curing ague2 2
We shall not follow Dr. Jones in his
questions under the second head, or
those relating to chemical changes in
parts in which the blood does not cir
culate. They would not be readily un-
derstood by the general reader.
