HoLLow-HEARTED SEETBdENTAIIsM.-
The following incident shows the difference
between practical beniheence and maudlin
sentimentalism:
Eugene Sue used to visit almost daily
one of the most fashionable ladies in Paris,
Madame de, and hold forth in her richly
furnished boudoir on the condition OF the
poor.
"'Do you ever relieve their distress p
asked Madame de, at the close OF one OF
these harangues.
"'To a trifling extent answered suei
but though my gifts are small, they are
always cheerfully bestowed. l give one

"That afternoon, as he left the Cafe de
Paris, where he had been eating costly
dinner, an apparently old woman, clad in
rags, prayed for charity.

How A MAN FREEZES TO DEATH.-M.
Pouchet lately read an interesting paper on
this subject before the French Academy of
Science. The authors differences are as
follows:
1. That the first phenomenon produced by
cold is contraction oil the capillary vessels
to such an extent that globule of blood
cannot enter; these vessels, therefore, re-
main completely empty.
3. The second phenomenon is an altera-
ton OF the blood globules, which amounts
to their complete disorganization.
8. Every animal complely frozen Is abso-
lutely dead, and no power can reanimate it.
H. When only part is frozen that part is
destroyed by gangrene.
8. If the part frozen is not extensive, and
only few disorganized blood globules pass
into circulation, the animal may recover.
G. Butt if, on the contrary, the frozen part
is of considerable extent, then the mass OF
altered globules brought into the circulation
when the part is thawed, rapidly kills the
animal.
q For this reason half frozen animal
may live a long time, if maintained in this
condition, since the altered globules do not
/ get into the circulation; but it expires rap
idly as soon as the frozen part is thawed.
8. In all cases of congelation death is due
to the alienation of the blood globules, and
not to any effect on the nervous system.
o. 1t results from these facts that the less
rapidly the frozen part is thawed, the moro
slowly altered globules find their way into
the circulation, and the greater the chances
of the recovery of the animal.

A UsRTul HINT.-In Vienna the use of sui
phate Of iron as deodorizer has.had most
beneficial result. According to the Presse the
rats have been so effeotually destroyed by the
use of green vitrOil, that recently Professor
Hyr,i was unable to secure a supply for expert

substance known as deodorizsr, or, as some
people call it, dsinfectant; and If it results in
the wholesale destruction of these pests, We
would advise it's use freely in our city drains.--

THE PEASANT -NoBLEMAN OF Russia
Concerning the Russian peasant who saved
the life of the Czar, Moscow letter writer
says:
"But amongst the crowd Of unknown ce-
lebrties there was one pointed out to me of
whom most of the world has heard. That
small, timid-looking lad, who is standing in
corner, is the famous Komissarof-the
man who saved the life of the Gar. A few
months ago he was mere peasant. Now
he is nobleman, and wears brilliant uni
form, and has lots of orders on his breast.
Last season he was then the hero of the day;
he was embraced in public by number Of
grand-dukes and duchesses; his portraits
were in every shop window; his brother no.
bles were about to buy him palace by
subscription. A deputation sent from the
great transatlantic republic, on purpose to
congratulate the Gear, insisted on being pre-
sented to the saviour of life SO dear to
America and all my Russias. But now his
lion head-ifI may coin the worlds lost.
The subscription has never come to any
thing; the fluctuations of the American dele
gates, however gratifying, did not take
substantial form; and, I am told that on his
public appearance, when he stood in a tent
on the Newski, at the occasion of the oesare-
vitch's marriage, he, in stage parlance, had
ceased to draw Already, candid friends
arc beginning to declare that he only showed
the assassin's arm by mistake, and that he
ran away the moment he heard the pistol go
off; but distrust these stories, as human
nature all the world over delights in prov
ing that dead lion never deserves to wear
the lions skin at all. Anyhow, Komissa-
roffis played out I suppose that l was
nearly the only person in that crowded room
who had any curiosity whatever to look at
him."

Wrongs Of the Working Women.

One day last week, "a starving girl
caused the arrest of her employer for
refusing to pay her for making wooden
pantalOOns at is cents a pair, while he,
being middle man, - received go cents
for the work, and his wife kicked her
out of doors because she demanded
what was her just due. Like cases, but
perhaps not 50 dagrantly outrageous,
are of frequent occurrence. A cores
pOndent calls attention to the necessity
of legislation to protect the working Wo-
men, and saws: seThere are thousands
have to work hard for 50 a Week-less
than enough to furnish the bare neces-
saries of life.' "A class of middle men
women, " our correspondent continues.
"are persistently advertising in this city
for good operators on linen coats, and
they pay only from SC. to I2c. each, four
coats being an average days work. A
visit to the piece-paid factories Of this
city, as they are called, would move the
heart of the most stollid. There crowd
ed together in iIl-lighted, badly venti-
lated rooms are hundreds Of these half
starved, half-clad, less than half-paid
daughters OftOil. Although still young,
the buOyancy Of youth has departed
from their spirits, and the glow OF
health from their cheeks. Sorrow and
suffering have pIowed deep burrows in
their coUntenances, and still they are
forced to toll, though the brow be fever
ed and the frame exhausted. This is
when business is good. When the mar
lzet is full and trade dull, the working
woman is the first to suffer, for then
comes reduction of wages and loss of
work, and the poor girl, driven to des-
peratiou, has but one alternatiYe--star-
VatiOn or a life of crime. And yet in
the midst of this, the employers are
growing immensely rich. While the

/ While the House was in Committee of
1 the Whole on the 18th inst. General
/ Butler defined the attitude or the Re-
l publican party in reference to recon
structiOn, with characteristic force. In
reply to Mr.. Brooks (Dem.) D he said that
he held in his hand a paper, showing
how some of the money spent in recon-
structiOn had been used. It was the bill
of Thomas Adams, Chief of Police Of
New Orleans; one item of which was:
For cash paid for hauling forty-six
loads of dead and wounded from the
Farmers and Mechanics Institute TO
the StatiOn-house, $138." Another item
is for cab hire for the Chief of Police
and his aids. So that while the dead
and wounded were carted to the statiorl-
house, and hospital and wOrk-house,
Chief Of Police and his aids were riding
in carriages. The reconstruction meas

the negroes of the South got the ballot
they would be able to protect themselves.
He had listened with utter contempt to

it with the aid Of all the powers of hell

ever it was attempted, he trusted his /
friends on the other side would go down /
and lead the army of nullificatiOn, and /
they would be welcomed in a way that /
would make them understand that the |
negro had some of the attributes of /
men, to wit, the knowledge of their /
rights, courage to maintain them, and /
steadfastness TO never yield them.
Mr.. Getz inquired wether Mr.. Butler 1
meant they would be welcomed with /
bloody hands to hospitable graves"
Mr.. Butler said he did not mean that. /
The negro was q kind person, and /
the gentleman should fail in 1
such an unhalloWed contest he would |
be kindly cared for, with tenderness
and mercy. The negro had fought for
the country and would fight for him
self whenever he was attacked, and not
until then, 1t was said there was about
to be a war of races. Why should the
negroes riser If, as the gentleman
from New York cOntended, they were
on top, they could not get any higher.
He had listened to all such false prOphe-
cies, but he would say that the party to
which he belonged would take no step
backward.

MEN WHO WIN WOMEN. God has
so made the sexes that women, like
children, cling to men; lean upon them
as though they we're superior In mind
and bodE. They make them the suns Of
thSiI systems, and they and their chill
dren revolYe around them. Men are
gods, if they but knew it, and women
burning incense at their shrines. .-
Women, therefore, who have good
minds and pure hearts want men to
lean upon. Think Of their reverence
ing a drunkard, liar, fool, or a lib
ertlne. If man would have a woman
do him homage, he must be manly in
every sense; a true gentleman, not after
the Chesterfield school, but polite, be-
cause his heart is full of kindness to
all; Que who treats her with respect,
even Difference, because she is a Wo-
man; who never cOndescends to say
silly things to her; who brings her up
to his level, if his mind is above hers /;
who is never over-anxious to please,
but always anxious to do right who
has no time to be frivolous with her
Always dignifed In speech and act /;
who never spends too much upon her /;
never yields to temptation, even if she
puts it In his way; who is ambitious to
make his mark 10 the world, whether
she encourages him or not who is
lever familiar with her to the extent
of being an adopted brother or cousin;
who Is not over careful in dress; always
pleasant and considerate, but always
keeping his place of a man, the dead,
and never losing it. Such department,
with noble principles, a good mind,
energy and industry, will win any wo-
man in the world who is worth
winning.

A friend showed US his book Of auto
graphs, the other day, in which, on the
same page, were a sentiment by Prof.
Morse, the inventor of the telegraph,
and a contradictory sentiment by the
Rev. DR.. Cheeyer, who is himself an
electric battery.
Prof. Morse wrote:
"Man's fundamental prOneness toevil
involves the idea of government as a
necessity, and government involves
slavery, which is but form of govern
ment, having no intrinsic moral char
acter, and hence does not necessarily
involve the idea of sin. The great and
widespread error on this point is the
prolific source of our present and ma
tiOn troubles.
SA8rh. r. B. MORSE.
NEW YORK. Feb. 9th, 1861.
Directly under the above, DR.. Cheever
wrote the following:
slavery is man-stealing, the making
merchandise of man, a crime condemn
ed of God in the penalty Ofdeath. Sla-
very is the most extreme and impious
perversiOn of government from the
nature and purpose with which God
hath ordained il for mans good, to an
instrument Of the greatest Wiclzedness
and cruelty. But, if friend Morse ad-
mires it, we should like to have his
theory of government tried upon him
self. Experience might enlighten and
rectify mis- opinion as to its beneficial
effect upon others.
