Disciplining the Rebels.

Gen. Sheridan has issued an order re-
moving from Office large number of the
Boards of Aldermen and Assistant Alder
men of the city of New Orleans, and
appointing other gentlemen to fill the va

Read an Hour a Day.

There was lad who, at fourteen, was
apprenticed to soap-boiler. One of his
resolutions was to read an hour a day, or
at least at that rate, and he had an old
silver watch, left him by his uncle, which
he timed his reading by. He stayed
seven years with his master, and said
when he was twenty-one he knew as much
as the young squire did. Not, let US see
how much time he had to read in, seven
years, at the rate of an hour each day
1t would be 2,555 hours, which, at the
rate of eight readings hours per day.
would be equal to three hundred and ten
days equal to forty FIVE weeks; equal to
twelve months nearly years reading.
That time spent in treasuring up useful
knowledge would pile up very large
store. l am sure it is worth trying for
Try what you can do. Begin now. In az
ter years You viii look back upon the
task as thss.most pleasant and profitable
you ever tfformed.

The Capital of Nebraska Located.

The Commissioners appointed by the
Legislature have located the capital of
Nebraska in the immediate vicinity of
Lancaster city, Lancaster county, nearly
equi distant from Nebraska city, Omaha,
Brownvile and PlattsmOuth, the leading
towns of the State. The name of the new
capital is called Lincoln, and is located
fifty miles northwest of Nebraska City
The Nebraska City Press says =
"For one hundred miles west of Lin
coin there is a country unsurpassed for
the fertility of its soil, well watered and
with more timber than can be found in
any other portion Of the interior of Ne
braska of the same extent. Seven or
eight miles to the southwark is an mex
haustible quarry of fine stone, and along
Salt Greek, which runs along the western
side of the town may be found large guam
titles of good timber"
Seventy five thousand acres of State
lands have been selected in the immedi-
ate vicinity of the new town. Great ex-
-pectations are built upon the rapid de-
velopment of the interior by this new To-
cation of the capital and the centraliza-
ton Of the State institutions at that place

President johnson has caused to be

President johnson has caused to be
published, through the Assistant Attor-
ney General. certain documents framed
by Sanford Conover, who is now in pri-
son for perjury, and who is perhaps one
of the most accomplished as we'll as in
veterate liars that the world ever produc-
ed. The object of this publication is to
show that Gen. Butler of Massachusetts,,
aud Mr. Ashley ofOhio, tried to get Como
yer to fabricate testimoney connecting
President johnson with the conspiracy
to assassinate Mr.. Lincon. Sanford Como
ver's object in framing these charges
against Butler and Ashley, and send
ing them to President johnson was to
work upon the prejudice, of the latter,
aud induce him to issue a perdon.-
But for a wonder, the President did not
release the rascal. He merely publish
ed the fabrications of Conover, in the
hope that some fools would believe
them. He pretended, too, in giving this
precious tissue of lies to the world, that
everything relating to Conover's applica-
tion for pardon was included in the bud
get This is now known to be false. An
application for Conover's pardon was made
to the President by the Democratic lead
ers of the last House of Representatives;
drawn up by Jack Rogers and singed by
him and Messers. Niblack, Eldridge, lie
Blond and Latham This precious docu-
ment was attempted to be suppressed and
the evidence is Irresistible that it W as
done knowingly and willfully, for parti-
san considerations, the President wishing
it to be>thought that no one had anything
to do with the scoundrel, Conoyer, ex-
cept Republicans This last exploit shows
the President to be as mean a partisan as
ever sought to sully the name of a politi-
cal opponent by downright fraud and de-
famation The Presidential Office has
been disgraced by Andrew johnson to a
degree that four years ago would have
been thought altogether impossible and
the sooner he is thrust out of it, by i'm
parchment and just sentence of deposi-
ton, the better will it be for the whole
country. 1t is utterly improbably that
the equal of Andrew johnson in all that
is base and contemplate, will ever in the
days which are to come, obtain access to
the White House as the Chief Magistrate
of the United States. Monsters do not
propagate their species, and the Admin
istration Of Andrew Johnson must remain
while the world lasts, unapproachable in
infamy .SuSser Register.

Marriage and Longevity.

Bachelors die earlier than other men.
This is confirmed by Dir. Stark of the Re-
gister's Office in Scotland, who finds that
the average age of married men over
twenty years in over fifty mine years that
is, marriage adds nearly one-third to the
length of life, as general rule, because
1st. Bachelors are always in a state of
unrest, they feel unsettled.
I'd. If indoors after supper, there is a
sense of solitariness, inducing sadness, if
not actual melancholy, with all their de-
pressing influences and many, many
hours are spent 10 the course of the year
in gloomy inactivity, which is adverse to
good digestion and vigorous and health
ful circulation.
Sd. His own chamber or house being
SO uninviting, the bachelor is inclined to
seek diversion outside, in suppers with
friends in clubs which are introductories
to intemperance and licentiousness, or to
those more unblushing associations which
under the cover of darkness, lead to
speedy ruin of health and morals and
when these are gone the way downward
to an untimely grave is rapid and certain.
On the othe hand, marriage lengthens
mans life.
lst. By its making home inviting.
I'd. BY the softening influences which
it has upon the character and the affec-
tions.
Sd. By the cultivation of all the better
feelings of our nature, and in that pro-
portion saving from vice and crime.
4th. There can be no healthful develop
ment without marriage-it is necessary to
the perfect man; for Divinity has announc.
ed that it was "not good for man to be
alone"
9th. Marriage gives laudable and
happifying object in life, the provision
for wife and children, their present COM
fort aud future welfare, the enjoyment in
witnessing their happiness and the daily
and hourly participations in affectionate
interchange of thought and sentiment and
sympathy these are the considerations
which antagonize sorrow and Tighten the
burdens of life, thus strewing flowers and
casting sunshine all along its pathway.

jeff. Davis and the Vermont People.


JEFF. Davis visited Stanstead aIfew days
ago and was the guest of Hon. T. Ter
rill. Fred Terrill, Esq, brought him
from Sherbrooke, in very quiet manner,
professedly to see the country and to con-
suit in regard to an investment in the
gold mines at Hatley. On Thursday, as
we learn from the Newport Yt.) Erpress,
Mr.. Terrill, in his best turnout, took Da-
Wis about the village to ride, where sew
eral incidents trauspired not altogether
pleasing to either the host or the guest.
Not only boys but men booted at him in
the street, and greeted him with those ia
miliar words, Z" Well hang JEFF. Davis to
sour apple tree" He was frequently
asked where he had left his petticoats,"
and various little remarks more suggestive
than pleasing, everywhere fell upon his
ear. One lady, stung by the recollection
and death of near relative at Anderson
vile, gave utterance to her feelings by
hurling a stone at him, Permission was
asked that JEFF. might ride about the
grounds of Carlos Pierce, Esq, aud take g.
look at his noted herds, but the request
was emphatically denied by Mr.. II.
Pierce, in charge of the premises. who
declared in unmistakable language, ''that
in no event could Jeff. Davis be admit,

On Banking.

IF you have baulky horses, it is your
fault, and not the horses, for if they do
not pull there is some cause for it, and if
you will remove the cause the effect will
cease. When your horse baulks he is
excited, and does not know what you
want him to do. When he gets a little
excited stop him FIVE or ten minutes; let
him become calm, go to the baulky
horse, pat him and speak gently to him +,
and as soon as he is over his excitement
he will, in nine case out of ten, pull at
the word. Whipping and slashing and
swearing only make the matter worse. =
After you have gentled him awhile, and
his excitement has cooled down, take
him by the bits; turn him each way as
far as you can pull out the tongue; gem
tie him a little; and then step before the
baulky horse and let the other start first !;
then you can take them anywhere you
wish. A baulky horse is always high
spirited and starts quick; half the pull is
out before the other starts too BY close
application to this rule you can make any
baulky horse pull.
IF horse has been badly spoiled, you
should hitch him to an empty wagon, and
let him pull it around awhile on level
ground; then put on a little load, and in
crease it gradually, caressing as before,
and in a short time you can have good
working horse.

A +" Bug" Story.

A gentleman who had just returned
from somewhere in the g OIL regions, ,"
tells the following of his adventures with
the b. b in that vicinity:
He had hardly got to sleep, when he
was awakened by " bite" Upon light
ing match, he found bed bug about
half an inch in diameter. He threw the
bug with match into basin of water
that stood at the head of the bed. This
process was repeated several times. At
last he was awakened from sound sleep
by what he thought was a person singing.
He threw up his window, but could not
find the source of the sweet sounds; at
last he happened to look in the basin,
where he found that the bugs had con-
structed raft out of the matches which
he had thrown in, and were towing it
around the basin, and singing
a life on the ocean wave,

Original Recipe for the cure of Catarrh.

Original Recipe for the cure of Catarrh.
Take one part finely pulverized salt
petre, and mix with two parts white su-
gar reduced to -four. This is an effectual
remedy in all stoppages of the head, ca
tarrh, &C. 1t must be snuffed up the
nose dozen times or more a day accord
ing to the severity of the affection. Per-
sons frequently die from catarrh in the
head, the disease becoming so bad that
the mucus, instead of discharging through
the nose as it should do, falls down the
throat and lodges on the lungs, producing
many sore throat, the origin of which
is not suspected, and terminating fatally
in many instances, in that most dreaded
of all diseases, consumption. The dis
ease becomes to terrible in some cases,
that persons have been unable even to
sleep in a bed-they were compelled to
sleep and die in their chairs. The mucus
from the head should never be allowed
to pass down the throat 1t should al
ways pass out at the nostrils.

Sherman's Duplicated Plans,


The following anecdote of the war we
do not remember to have seen before:
Sherman on his march towards At
lanta, constantly astonished the rebels
with the facility with which he restored
the railroad bridges they destroyed at his
approach. They would annihilate a
bridge just before he arrived, and the
next morning there it was again, just as
it was before they touched it. At last a
light dawned upon them. The original
plans for the bridges had all been furnish
ed from Cleveland, Ohio, and before
Sherman started he took those plans, had
each bridge duplicated in all its timbers
aud iron work, took the pieces in Shook
state on his trains, and so when he found
a bridge gone he had nothing to do but
to get its mate out of the freight cars,
bolt it together and put it up This
thing worried the rebels good deal when
they found it out. One day they pro-
posed to destroy the Dalton tunnel to him
der Sherman's march, but an exasperated
rebel said, What in the nations the use
That d--d Sherman has probably
brought another one along with him from
Cleveland y"
