About pitching In"

We extract the following we'll timed
words from the Aurora Beacon, of this
week, on pitching In =
"But the worst kind of pitching in Is
that we so frequently find in the news
papers-quarrels in public between RI
walls in business, ambition or black
guardism. Pah! how disgusting! And
then there is class of editors, who are
nothing If not pitching in turning
their columns into mud-batteries, firing
filth at each other, or at some unfortun.
ate object of their peesonal malice OF
displeasure. This is cowardly business
-unmanly, disgusting and disgrace to
journalism. When will the time come
when fools shall cease to attempt to
make editors of themselves, when all
newspaper men shall have learned that
the true mission Of journalism is to en-
tighten and elevate the public sense,
and when they will be able to keep
their personal passions and grievano es
out of their editorials? The editors
pen is dangerous weapon in the hands
of either foolish or bad man. A mad
bull in a china shap is not more danger
Gus or out of place than is malicious,
reckless or conceited man, who lacks
balance of judgment or heart, welding
the pen of the editor Of q public journal.
We might cite examples, but that would
be personal, and we must practice what
we preach.

ting pcnmanship IL an indication OF
genius, and that tho less comprehenst-
bic are the letters tho more profound u
the writer. Many young gentlemen Of
the law do not attempt to defend their
wretched scvibiing; they rather a!lude
to it as a guarantee of their future great
ness, and proudly refer to the letters OF
the late Mr.. Choate. 1t is fair to pre-
sumo that tho hieroglyrhics OF Dr.
Chapman have caused many medical
student to imitate his style, and it Is to
this foolish habit of aping greatness by
the adoption of practices which are lndi-
crous and annoying even to eminent
men that business Is very often derang-
ed and not unfreauenly lives are lost.
The Washington journals come to ua
with melancholy illustration Of tho
evils Of careless penmanship, In the case
Of Miss Lilly Hollingsworth, who hav-
Ing been Ill was attended by physi-
clan. This gentleman prescribed for
the invalid, who died in a few hours
from the effect of the medicine, which
1t seems was extract Of opium. The
doctor said before the coroncr's jury that
he intended she should have taken
elixir Of opium, and maintained that
the accident was caused by the negli-
gence Of the druggist. That individual,
however, showed that the prescription
read "Ert.", which he interpreted to
mean extract, and the physician rejoin-
cd that he had intended to give the pa
tient elixir Of opium, which is harmless.
while the extract Is dangerous.
1t will be observed that little moro
care in writing and some attention to
tho formation Of letters would in this
case have proved most beneficial to oil
parties.-Nev York Express.

Jefferson Davis.

A correspondent of the New York
Times gives an account Of Jefferson
Davis's appearance which conveys a
somewhat different impression from
those lately published. The writer,
whose letter Is dated at Richmond says !:
"While Colonel Stanton was paying
these sable warriors jefferson Davis,
walking the ramparts that have 90 long
been to him the worlds boundary, pass
cd by and glanced curiously At the scene.
At that moment a gentleman took note
Of his personal appearance who has not
seen him since 1860, but who was then
familiar with his form and features, and
his drst impression was that. Jefferson
Davis has grown wondrously old in
these NV years. His hair has turned to
silvery white, his form grown emaciated,
his face haggIrd, his step slow aud an
certain, his whole presence that Of one

For the last thirty years this same
class Of croakers have been crying, "You
can never overthrow slavery!" 1T Is
wrong, but you can't do anything"
And now that it is destroyed, root

where they stand, or what they have
been doing ali their days. Yet they are
just rs fresh and confident a. ever, that
no power In earth or heaven can over
throw intemperance! Wonderful phi

with our cause at all, they are destitute
alike Of faith In truth aud In God. Aud
for this reason they are not only force
less In temperance action, but absolute

The right arm of power in all temper

Taste for the Beautiful.

II is quite certain that unless you go
into the very haunts Of vice, where
misery Is born and bred, you will never
see any in Paris. The boot-black from
the peculiar nature of his occupation ap-
pears to be on less familiar terms with
soap and water than any other ofthe the
human family, and in England and
America holds his rags and dirt as pre-
rogatlve. But the Paris boot-black 10

form, generally Of blue plush, and any
lady might shake hands with him with
out gloves aud without fear. His box
is very large, and he carries camp-stcol,
which supersedes the necessity of bal
ancing on one leg during the process Of
polishing. When asked what Is duo

his bow, and you might have supposed

fish-mongers In their greasy stalls, look
fresh and blooming as possible in their
starched white caps and clean Calico
The very herring seemed graceful under
their touch though they had arms like
Amazons. 1t was wonderful to sec into
what a garden the vegetable market
could be transformed merely by the ar
rangement of carrots and cabbages.-

HITS ON SPECTACLEs.-Dr. w. Ack-
land, a Surgeon of some note in Londor,
makes the following suggestions:
1.-The natural decay of vision occurs
usually from thirty to fifty years OF age,
varying according to habits and employ
ment Of the individual. Sometime dur
ing this interval the resractive powers
Of the crystalline humors Of the cyo
eye slightly altar 4heir condition, while
the crystalline lens and cornea change
their form, so that a difficulty Of distinct
vision is felt. The eye loses a portion OF
its power of seeing at varying distances,
or Its power OF adjustment, and near
objects are no longer as easily seen as IN
youth. Reading small print by candle
light is difficult as the book requires to
be held at a greater distance from tho
eve than formerly, aud more powerful
light is needed, and even then the let
ters appear misty, and to run on into
the others, or seem double. And still
further, in order to see more easily, the
light Is often placed between the book
and the eye, aud fatigue y soo0 felt ~

How Q Man Freezes to Death.

How Man Freezes to Death.
NJ. Pouchet lately read an interesting
paper on this subject before the French
Academy of Science. The authors infer
ences are as follows:
l. That the first phenomenon produc-
ed by cold In contraction of the capill-
larry vessels to such an extent that a
globule Of blood cannot enter; these
vessels, therefore remain completely
empty.
?. The second phenomenon Is an al
teration Of tho blood globules, which

3. Every animal completely frozen Is
absolutely dead, and no power can re.
animate it.
4. When only part Il frozen, tLa!
part is destroyed by gangrene.
s. If the part frozen IL not extensive
and only few disorganized blood glob
ules pass into circulation, the animal
may recover.
6. But II, Oh the contrary, the frozen
part Is Of considerable extent, then the
mass of altered globules broughtinto the
circulation when the part Is thawed rap
idly kills the animals.
7. For this reason half frozen ami.
NAL may live long time If maintained
In the condition, since the altered glob.
ules do not get into the circulation; bu,

part Is thawed.
8. In all cases Of congestion, death Ii
due to the alienation of the blood g!ob
ules, an not to any effect on the nervous
system.
8. It results from these facts that the
less rapidly the frozen part is thawed
more slowly altered globules find theil
way into the circulation, the greater the
chances of the recovery Of the animal.

constitutional, by declaring that the

dealers are obliged to procure, is null and

CANE LAws.-Hunters and sports
men will do well to remember that the
time has arrived when most Of their
sport should cease. Prairie chickens
may be trapped this month january
aud No longer, while the time to stop
killing most other game is fixed at jan
uary 1st. Chapter lis section 2 of the
laws Of 1862, reads ~ follows:
"Sec. 2. That chapter 147 of the Acts
and Resolutions passed at the regular
session Of the Seventh General Assem-
bly,, and section 1881 of the Revision OF
1850, be and the same are hereby 30
amended that 1t shall be unlawful, ex-
cept upon his own premises, for any
person to kill, ensnare or trap, any
woodoocl<, between the first day Of Jam
uary and the first day Of July, of each
and every year; any quail, ruffied
grouse, pheasant, or wild turkey be-
tween the first day Of January and the
first day ofSeptember Of each and every
year; any deer, fawn or,elk between the
first day Of January and the first day OF
September Of each and every year; any
prairie hen or chicken between the first
day Of February and the first day oi
August in each and every year."
The law was 90 framed as to prevent
the buying and selling of game during
these several periods, under the same
penalty. Section 2, Of the original law,
which section has not been amended,
reads as follows:
ut shall be unlawful for any person
to buy or sell any kind Of the above
mentioned animals or birds which shall
have been trapped, ensnarsd or killed,
between the days above mentioned; the
having in possession. any of the above
animals or birds recently killed, by any
person or persons, between said dates,
shall be deemed and taken as priusa
Jacid evidence that she same was trap
ped, ensnared or killed by the person or
persons having possession of the same,
in violation of the provisions of this
act."
The only amendment which bears up
on this is the section relating to penalty,
which is now fixed at five dollars for
each bird killed or ensnared. In Du-
buque they have an Audubon Club to
enforce the provisions of the law, but it
is safest for our hunters to keep within
those provisions, 20 as not to be liable to
prosecution.-Stdte Register.

AN INSTANCE OF PERsEvERASCE.-
One morning during the late war al Of.
dcer riding through the woods Of North
Alabama, was attracted by tall, lank
countryman, who seemed to be using his
best cndeavors to reach the top OF large
hickory tree. Scarcely had he gained
the summit, when, rapidly descending,
he started up another G few yards fur
ther of. This strange proceeding was
continued at least dozen times, the
countrymtn climbing and descending
one tree after another for nearly quar-
ter Of mile. The officer at length over
taking him, inquired the cause of his
eccentric gyrations. We'll, stranger"

Ben Wade among the Rebels.

6en WaQe among the h0OelS.
The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Journal gives the following in
regard to Ben Wade among the rebels:'
A good thing, and a verify, is told Of
old Ben Wade. He was, as you know,
one Of the Congressman who made the
Southern tour during the holidays. He
made speech at Memphis which had
the heavy ring of Northern opinion in
it, as well as tolerable judgment Of the
future course Of Congress. An eminent
statesman and ex-rebel Major General,
In speaking of it, said to me, 'Wade
made a bold and manly speech. His
language 10 forcible, unmistakable if not
elegant. It Is like him, honest, open
and above board in fact It is very much
like our secesh songs were, mighty fine
words but devilish bad ideas.' Well to
my story. Wade had made the entire
trip to New Orleans, and every man he
met avowed q strong attachment to the
Union. Not one of them claimed to be
. rebel, or acknowledged ever having
been one. The Crescent City, however,
(famous for great sights and doings)
showed him several Of that genus homo
A party Of these men waited upon him
at his room, and introduced themselves
to him, whereupon the following colo
guy occurred: "Mr. Wade, personally
we are unknown to you, but we are glad
to meet you. We are rebels-rebels at
the beginning, and during the war, and
are rebels to-day. We believed the
South was right in principle, and still
believe SO; but we have respect for m
honorable-minded foe to our cause. We
are defeated; our cause is lost but we
have faith in you."
Wade jumped up and exclaimed,
Gentlemen, l am glad to see you. You
are the first rebels I have met since
l left Washington, and 1 have been
wondering seriously how In HI you
kept up such long internal war with
90 few rebels In the cOuntry.D
