FIRST Mass IN AMEEICA.--Wherever Columbus
went be had mass performed. 1t must have been
strange sight to ;he rude and trembling Latives
to witness the imposing ceremonial of the church
of Rome At Havana Il chapel still exists on the
spot where the natives first witnessed this grand
and novel sight, where for the first time that
uame which is above every name, and to which
every knee shall bow, was first heard in Ameri-
ca. At Isabella, in Hayti, the pillars Of the
first church still remain. At the present day il
is quite overgrown with forest, and in the midst
of this forest are still to be partly standing
the pillars of the church, some remains Of the
kings Storehouses, and part of the residence of
Columbus-all built of stone

INDIAN AGENTS IN NEW Mexico. The Santa
Fe Gazette is after the lndian agents with.
'sharp stick" The superintendent, it says, has
for the last six months been living fifteen hun
dred miles from his superintendency; the Pueblo
agent is almost constantly on a wild goose chase
after imaginary gold mines; the agent of the
Utes has been once at his agency since his ap-
pointment, and remained there a few days.
With one superintendent and six agents in New
Mexico, there are two agents at their places of
duty, doing anything but that for which they
draw liberal salaries from the government.

PRUNING ToNAToEs.-lt is stated that garden
ers in France cut of the stem of the tomato
plauts down to the first cluster of flowers which
appears on thelI, thus impelliog the sap into the
buds below the cluster, which pushes up vigor-
ously, producing another cluster of flowers.
When these are visible, the branch to which
they belong is also topped down to their level
and this is done five times successively. By this
means the plants become stout dwarf bushes,
not over eighteen inches high In order to pre-
vent them from falling over, sticks or strings
are stretched horizontally along the rows, so as
to keep the plants erect. In addition to this,
all the laterals that have no flowers, all laterals
whatsoever, are nipped of. In this way the ripe
sap is directed into the fruit, which acquires
beauty, size and excellence unattainable by any
other means.

AN intelligent contraband in Indianapolis,
Ind, was recently directed by his employer to
take the carriage and call for the young ladies
OF the family, who were at evening party, and
instructed to 60 to the door, ring the bell and
inquire for them. About midnight he returned
alone, and on inquiry it was ascertained that he
had taken the dining room bell, and driving up
to a strange house, sat in the carriage and rang
his bell as ne had seen the milkman do. Finals
ly, concluding that no one was at home he
returned.

BEAuTY.-Lord Bacon observed Justly that the
best part of beauty is that which picture cans
not express. Lord SALISBURY asserts that all
beauty is truth. True features make the beauty
Of face, and true proportions the beauty Of
architecture, as true measures, that of harmony
and music. In poetry, which is all fable, truth
still is the perfection. Fontenelle thus daintily
compliments the sex when be compares women
and clocks - the latter serve to point out the
hours, the former make US forget them. There
is magic power in beauty that all confess q
strange witchery that fascinates and enchants
us with potency as irresistible as the magnet
1t is to the moral world what gravity is to the
physical. 1t is easier to write about beauty in
woman, and its all pervading influence, than to
define what it is. Women are the poetry of the
world, in the same sense that the stars are the
poetry Of heaven. Clear, light-giving, they are
the terrestrial planets that rule the destinies of
mankind.

THE HAIE, AND CARE or Ir.-God covered the

chlprons PRACTISE Ia rzaszrE IT, hrnsz1.- God
covered a part OF mans face with hair Some
people shave it of. Mischievous practice Il
exposes the throat aud lungs-the eyes likewise
say wise Psychologists. Men become bald.
Why because they wear close hats and caps.
Women are never bald except by disease, They
do not wear close hats nor caps. Men never lose
their hair below where the hat touches the head,
not if they have been bald twenty years. The
close cap holds the heat and Precipitation
thereby the hair glands become weak the hair
falls out. What will restore it? Nothing, after
the scalp becomes shiny. But if in process of
falling out, or recently lost, the following is
best Wash the head freely with cold water
once or twice day Wear thoroughly ventiI
lated hat. This is the best means to arrest the
loss and restore what is susceptible of restora-
ton. What will beautify woman's hair What
will iuygorato the hair glands2 Cold water Il
best At first the head looks like a witch, but
in few weeks it makes the hair luxuriant By

A THRRAT.-JoHNsoN' Washington organ
threatens Congress with armed resistance il
it persists in opposing the Presidents
policy.-Albany EUening Journal.
We know not what "JoHEsoN's Washing
ton organ threatens Congress with" for We
have no knowledge of any such musical in
strument, nor do we care what any paper
printed in Washington, may say on the sub
ject Of EARNED resistance to Congress upon
any question: but we do know that no paper
published in Washington or elsewhere has
ever had authority at any time to make the
declaration made by the Albany EVeniRg
Journal which we quote above. Such state.
ments, in times like these, are not only
foolish and false, but maliciously wicked
and we regret to see a respectable paper like
the Albany Evening journal giving circula-

SHALL KING ABDICATE FROM
ROME OR MARSH FROM ITALY?

The young man who writes dispatches for
the New York Tribune says THE President
is trying to fix up a place for Senator Nc
DouoALL and adds, at is said he will be sent
to the Papal Dominions to represent the
United States at Rome, vice GEORGE p.
MARSH, to be removed" Now this pro-
gramme is not only ahead Of The President
and Secretary Of State, but it battles history.
Those who are aware Of the fact that the gal
liant Maj. Gen. RUFus KING is our Minister
Resident to the Papal Dominions at Rome,
and that Mr. MARSH is our representative TO
Italy at the Court Of VICToR EMANUEL,
Florence, will find it difficult to decide which
place the "instinctive journalist" Of the
Tribune, as "BUESo BURo" calls him, intends
for Mr.. MCDouGALr. The latter, as well as
Gen. KING and Mr.. MARSH, would like &c
know the fact, and the information would moi
only relieve The PRESIDENT and Secretary o
State from responsibility in the matter, bu
would release the Senate from its presen
suspense on the subject. An appointment
OF this kind, by the Tribune, might secur
confirmation.

Profits OF the Atlantic Gable.

The London Times states that the net
earnings Of the Anglo-Ameriean Telegraph
Company have thus far exceeded the rate Of
twenty-five per cent. per annum, and that a
dividend Of ten per cent. on account will
soon be paid out of the proceeds of the first
six months business.
Whereupon the New York Tribune has
the following, which we copy as showing the
enormous expense to which newspapers are
sometimes subjected, by reason Of competi-
ton, without any corresponding advantage
in the way Of increased patronage:
1--WE trust the payment OF that dividend
will be accompanied or preceded by fur
ther reduction Of the rates charged by that
company. Though reduced, they are still
exorbitantly high. We, for instance, have
paid that company for bringing messages
nearly or quite all our profits since the day
the line was opened yet we have not re-
ceived any pecuniary value therefor. That
is to say: though we must have cable news
so long as our rivals do, we doubt that we
have one more patron to-day thanfw should
have had il the Atlantic telegraph had again
proved failure. And, while we have real
lied no pecuniary return for the many thou
sands we have paid for cable dispatches, the
company could have richly afforded to serve
the press for one quarter OF its actual charges
hay, iCithott charge-in view Of the i'm
mense, gratuitous, and most efficient adver-
Using we have given it. We advise the di.
rectors to consider this whole matter in the
light of abstract justice and the company's
true abiding interest

HAMPERlNG THE SUPREME
COURT.

The Supreme Court is lion in the way Of
some Of the progressive radicals, and they
are trying to invent a net in which to en-
mesh the dangerous animal. Yesterday
very brilliant proposition was made in the
House by way of lettering the court, viz: to
require that in the adjudication Of any con-
stitutional question,it shall be argued before
full bench and no decision be given unless
The Justices are unanimous in their opinion.
When Congress will cease to make laws ex-
cept by unanimous vote, we, the people,
will consider this proposition respecting the
Supreme Court. In order to get unani-
nous court it will be necessary to run "
q new set, as the country housewives do their
candles in mould,all alike, exactly There's
difficulty in the way, however; the court
itself will pronounce this remoulding of that
body unconstitutional.

II strikes us that gentlemen who move the
impeachment Of The President on counts Of
dishonesty and corruption in Office should, Of
oil men, have record for purity and integrity
Of public life that cannot be called in ques-
ton.
The fact is recalled that Mr.. ASHLEY used
his official position to secure the appoint
ment Of IN old friend as Surveyor General
Of Colorado, "the best Office, in his opinion,
in the gift Of THE President" so that he
AsHrEr) might go into q partnership with
him "in all land speculations and town sites. "
Three letters written by ASHLEY to MY Dear
CAsE,D pending the appointment, exhibit a
good deal more anxiety to have q hand in
the speculations than in the appointment Of
particular person. It was only because
CASE appeared to him better tool for his
purpose than any other that ASHLEY urged
his appointment In the first Of these letters
ASHLEY writes, March IL, 1861:
"If you get II, want to unite with you
as a full partner in oil land speculations and
town sites
Six days after he writes:
"This is considered the best appointment
in oil the Territories, and is the best Of all
the Territorial appointments. l want to
have IN interest with you, IL get the place,
in the city and town-lot speculations. The
Pacific railroad will go through this Territory
and II will be fortune to us II can get it. ;
And the day after:
"Now, il get this, want to be a full CO
partner with you in the purchase Of all the
real estate that you may make in that Terri.
tory. have spent a good deal Of time and
some money to get this place; and il do
get It, hope you will cheerfully go in with
me-"
But he was not satisfied with this chance
TO make fortune. Believing with the
Apostle that he who does not provide for hi
own household is worse than an infidel, ant
enlarging the application Of the text to takt
in "my brother ELL" and my brother VIII
LIAM" he insisted that CAsE should give Ell
the chief clerkship, put Bill into any place
he was competent to gil, and keep one posi-
ton open to be filed by some one o
AsHLEYs favorites, whom he might NAM
afterward. After that, comment would b,
