NOVEL CAUSES FOR DIvoRCE,-It
is said that in Indiana "cold feet
are regarded as a good cause for di-
vorce. If the petition ofa dissatis-
fed wife in one of the St. Louis
courts is allowed we shall believe
the Indiana story. This distressed
complainant reports the first chill
her affections received was on the
wedding tour, when she caught cold
and was not allowed to have a
fire at the hotel, on account of the
expense. Her next shock was from
q tough beef-steak, seasoned with
lard. The deadly stab was the hus-
bands refusal to furnish her with a
feather bed. A killing blow was un-
kindness to her sisters; but the
"unkindest cut" Of all was his reti-
cence at the dinner table; he did
not help her to mutton chops; fail
ed to pass the potatoes; neglected
to furnish her plate with vegetables,
and left her to help herself. These
insufferable indignities preyed upon
her health and wrecked her peace of
mind, and she now appeals to the
courts for redress.

Poisons in Daily Use.

Pickles are often poisoned by be-
ing scalded in brass or copper ket-
ties; it makes them look green, but
that green renders them poisonous.
Brass or coppervessels ought.not to
be used for any purpose, unless
they are secured very bright; it is
better for health to avoid their use
for cooking purposes. Brass wash
dishes ought never to be used; they
cause sore eyes, etc. Water is
poisoned by being conveyed in lead
pipes, or standing in pals painted
ON the inside. Milk is poisoned by
using such pals for milking. Cheese
is often poisoned in this way, and
by using in its manufacture brass,
copper, or wooden tubs painted in
side.
Ignorance places deadly weap-
on in our articles of food, but self
ishness often conceals a greater
1t manufactures poisons for others
in many temptingly disguised
forms. Cake ornamented with col
ored dust, candies colored in such
nice style, toys so highly attractive
to children, cause decayed teeth,
canker, intestinal inflammation, ,nau-
seating headache, collie, spasms,
and often convulsions. Confec.
tionery may be prepared without
coloring materials so as to be
wholesome.
Wallpaper, ornamented with
beautiful green, pretty yellow and
lively red, often diffuses through
sleeping and sittiDg-rooms, an at
mosphere impregnated with poison
Gus paper, that causes headache,
nausea, dryness of the mouth and
throat, cough, depression of spir-
its, prostration of strength, ner-
vous affections, boils, watery swell
lings on the face, cutaneous afFec-
tions and Inflammation of the eyes.
These occur in more serious forms
in apartments that are not constant
ly and thoroughly ventilated

STORY WITH A MoRAL.-When
Gen. Jackson was moving on to
strike McClellan's flank on the
Chickahominy, he came to stream
which had no bridge and could not
cross without one. The Gener-
al had brought with him from the
Valley rough, uneducated man,
full of energy, who had served
him in emergencies, and in whom
he had the utmost confidence. He
called this man and told him that the
stream must be bridged immediate
ly; the regular engineers were also
advised of the fact. In short time
the rough carpenter and the polish
ed men of science were at the
stream; the former had his opinion,
the latter theirs; he wished to go at
the work at once without drawings,
but they objected until they could
perfect the plans on paper. The
engineers retired to their tent to
perfect paper bridge; the carpen-
ter took his men and went to work
at once to make a real one. In q
very short time he appeared at the
Generals tent, and reported briefly,
thus: general, that bridge is
done, but them pictures amt come
yet" This story has a moral that
all our readers can discover.

CooLIE SLAVE TRADE.

A short time since a cargo of
Coolies arrived at New Orleans from
Cuba, to be used as laborers on the
sugar plantations of the South. 1t
is further stated that a commission
er of the Chinese Government has
concluded a contract with a number
of Louisiana, Alabama and Texas
planters to bring 5000 chinamen to
this country for their use. We are
not informed, but utsuppose, as it has
been the custom in other places,
that they are bound out to serve
for term Of years, for stipulated
wages, which are of course very
low, and under certain conditions.
What these certain conditions are
we care not, it is only another form
of slavery, and even worse in some
of its features, and we protest
against its Introduction into the
United States, as we do any other
form or modification of slavery
This system of Coolie slavery has
been tried repeatedly in the West
Indies, Australia, and other places,
and in every case has proven even
worse than American slavery. The
very moment they land on any 9th
er soil than their own they are
marked as chattels, and forfeit ev-
cry right they may have possessed.
We have just abolished one system
of slavery at the cost of five hun
dred thousand lives, and several
hundred millions of dollars, conse-
quently we do not feel like favoring
the adoption ofanother which is no
less damnable. The cause of its in
in the South is readily
The negroes, who have
heretofore been held in slavery by
the people of the South, have justly
assumed the freedom and character
Of American citizens, and their for
mer masters now accept the Coolie
system rather than consent to en-
ploy them as freedmen. But we
predict that the loyal soldiers and
Ill the balance of loyal party will
claim a voice in this matter, and that
our Congress will give its earliest
to this nefarious business |
1t is due our gallant soldiers who
survived the late terrific war for
Freedom, that this country should
he free in reality as it is in name

Successful Bee-Keeping.

AT a late visit to the apiary Ol
Mr.. John Gould, of Wenham,
Mass, l saw and heard so much
that was interesting to me, that |
think Il brief notice will interest
the readers of the Farmer. Though
engaged in the business of manu-
featuring, Mr.. Gould finds time to
manage an apiary Of some eighty
five swarms; and having kept bees
for some thirty years, his prac-
tices and suggestions may be re-
ceived as practical. He uses the
Langstroth hive, but with an i'm
provement of his own, which he
calls the "double hive" on which
he can put fourteen boxes of a size
to contain three and a quarter
pounds each of honey. He has al
so developed and made more prac-
tical than has ever been done before,
an idea suggested by Mr.. Langs-
troth. He has a sort of drawer,
about three inches deep, filled with
two rows of corn-cobs-this drawer
has only light Stats for o bottom,
just sufficient to keep the cobs in
place. The honey board is remov-
ed and this drawer put in its place.
The bees will attach themselves to
these cobs, which serve the double
purpose of keeping them warm and
carrying off the moisture. With
this simple arrangement, the hives
remain upon the stand all winter
with safety and without any other
protection.
From forty five of his hives, Mr..
Gould has already taken this seas
on one ton of honey! But last
year, although he expended some
5000 upon his bees they laid up no
honey. This year he expects to
realize one thousand dollars. We
had the pleasure of seeing about
two hundred of these boxes in a
finished room, where two interest
ing young ladies were labelling them
for market.
Mr.. Gould has the italian Queens J
and has been very auccessful in
rearing and transferring them

BROKEN vows.

Promises are lightly spoken;
Vows on which we blindly build
UTTERED only to be broken,)
Go for ever unfulflled.
Oft betrayed, but still believing
Duped again and yet again
All our hoping all our grieving
Warns US, but it warns in vain.
From the cradle and the coral
From the sunny days of youth
We are taught the simple moral,
Still we doubt the morals truth.
When a boy they found me rather
10th to do as / was bid,
81 shall buy birch !" said father,
Broken vows! He never did,
Grown extravagant, when youthful,
lnmy tailor's debt | ran;
He appeared about as truthful
In his talk as any man.
Let me tell you how he sold me;
"Look you, Mr. What's Your Name,
l shall summons you," he told me
But the summons never came!
Through the meadows, daisy.laden,
Once it was my lot to stray,
Talking to lovely maiden
In very spooney way;
And / stole a kiss-another-
Then another-then lot.
"Fiel" she said, am tell my mother.
Idle words; she told her not.

- The Van Vert Bulletin says ::

= ~ wa W w DNAANNiAA -
Mr.. Ed. Updegrove, who served
A years in the 54th Ohio Infantry,
met with an accident one day last
week, while jointing slaves at the
factory of Messrs. H. Butler u Co.,
in this town, which will result in
the loss of his left eye. The saw
caught two pieces of timber and
threw them with great force toward
Mr.. u, with the ends forward. One
piece struck above, and the other
below his left eye, completely de-
stroying that organ. Although
not a member of the Grand Army
of the Republic, that organization
has made regular detail of two
members for each night to wait up
on their unfortunate soldier friend.
He is receiving from his friends ev-
cry care, but nevertheless suffers
great pain. Mr.. Ed. Updegrove is
a brother of our Sheriff, whe lost
his left eye at the battle of Chica-
when Longstreet made his
terrible charge on Thomas, on the
last day Of the fight"

The editor of an Alabama pa
per, having a difference with a rival
editor, alludes to him in the follow
ing complimentary terms: "But
the editor that can write on such a
dead level, is necessarily a mean
man. We know him as well as if
we had lived in the house with him.
He is a fellow who goes into the
kitchen and interferes with the cook
he stops the servant girl on the back
stairs, and makes her show what
she is carrying out, and tries to
catch her in a lie by sticking his
nose in her slop bucket; he sits by
his wife in company and sticks pins
in her at a time he knows her pride
will prevent her from screaming;
when a friend gives his children can
dy he snatches it from the little
things, scares them out of the room,
and eats it himself. Taken all To-
gether he is probably one Of the
meanest men in America. We like
him because he excels in his line"

A. q. Thurman Plotting Against
the Public Faith.

| INC EuDllc GhlJu.
Thurman is on the stump in the
Southern part of the State, making
every possible effort to alarm the
people at the financial condition of
the country He does not fail to
tell the people wherever he goes
that the country is bankrupt, that
we have a debt Of three thousand
millions, etc, etc. Such fear and
distrust he is trying to infuse into
the minds Of the people. We all
admit that our Government debt is
large, that the national expense is
heavy, that our taxes are not light,
and that economy, which is always
a duty, is now necessity. We have
every reoson for economy, butnOne
for dependency. We have had
two successive bad crops, we have
had reconstruction and Andy John
son to contend with, yet we have
had a surplus sufficient to pay the
interest on the national debt and
quite nice little sum on the princi-
pal. Our financiers, as well as those
OF every other country, look upon
this result with perfect amazement.
Secretary Mccullough, in his official
statement, says that he expected a
moderate increase instead Of the re-
duction with which he and the coun-
try are so agreeably surprised
MIR. Thurman seems to have forgot
ten the cause of this enormous debt.
He says nothing about the course
he and his party saw fit to take dur
ing our national trouble, which in
spired the enemy with new hopes,
and stimulated them to prolOng the
contest which caused the greater
part of the public debt The Judge
don't like to have his personal rec
ord overhauled since the war, so
we'll withhold our fire a few weeks, |
but it would be at least decorous in !
him now to speak encouraging
words rather than to say anything
which can disparage the national
credit, and shake the confidence of
any portion of the people in the
ability Of the nation to meet all its |
engagements. We do not appre-
hend, though, that these attacks of
his upon the credit of the Govern |
ment will be any more successful |
than were the assaults he made upon
its military and political situation,
when it was in its greatest trouble. /.
1t is too late in the day for such |
copperheads as Thurman to under
take to disturb the repose, or shake
the faith Of the loyal men Of Ohio. I
We are used to copperheadism now,
and can stand all such thunder. 1t |
is not in the power of any sympa- /
thetic rebel to shake the nations
faith in itself. She knows her re-
sources, and her ability to grapple
successfully with all financial diff .
culties. No, Mr.. Thurman, It's no
use; you can't gain a vote on that
issue. The people by their bravery
and their bullets have won victory |
over you, and they will not now
turn it into defeat by their ballots.

Saved by a Miracle"

a sadly copperhead sheet, thinking
ofwhat it deserves in the other
world, has the grace to admit that il
will be "a dqrn'd tight squeeze fol
it's friends if it should escape, and
narrates the following;
Question to be debated at the
next meeting of the exclusives of
Loyal League; Can man dying
in the Democratic faith, go to heav-
en- ?" There are a very large num-
ber of people who don't believe he
can. The debate will be an anima-
ted one, although, like the handle of
a jug, all on one side. Who will
take the afIirmativep
Why, we will, and sustain it by
relating a Boston story, which is
precisely in point. Many years
since there lived in the not over
classic neighborhnod of Dock
Square, an old fellow who was called
by the boys General II. He
kept "gin mill'' and "prop shop"
and was, altogether, what is known
as hard case. One morning he
addressed a crowd Of loungers,
thus:
"Boys, l had queer dream last
night-a most 'stonary dream
fact"
"Wall, General, what was it?-
What did you dream Z"
"Wall, boys, l dreamed ! died"
mo did you? Well" said all
the crowd in a breath, Where did
you go2"
"Went to Heaven"
80, come now, General, that is a
little to much, you know; couldn't
be, you know"
"Fact, boys, for all that went
to Heaven"
."But how did you get in, Gener-
alp"
"Wall, that's the queer part on
it, and I'll tell you how. You see,
when l got over there, I made my
way up to gate and knocked, and
asked what place that was, and
somebody looked over the wall and
asked me what l wanted, and I said
l wanted to come inside Then he
said he was Saint Peter, and that
was the gate to Heaven, and I told
him that was just where l wanted
to get to. He asked me some ques-
tions, and was just going to let me
in, when, just my tarnal luck, along
come the Devil, and he hollered out
to Peter that l belonged to him,
and hadn't any busines inside. OF
course l couldn't say nothing but l
felt awful scary. Well, rightaway,
Peter he come outside, and says he;
''Satan what claim have you on
that soul" "Why," says the devil,
he is my man; he's been selling rum
and shaking props down in Boston
more than twenty years" 81 admit
that" says Peter, "but didn't he al
ways sell good liquor? "Well,
yes, I'm bound to admit he did,"
said Satan. "Did he ever cheat at
prop shaking?" "Not that 1 can
prove" "Well, then, says the
saint, "you can't have him on that"
begun to feel better, boys, when
he devil says he, "But this fellow
sold rum on sundays" Peter look
ID sharp at me, and asked me if
hat was 50, [ daren't lie, SO said,
Yes, but always paid the largest
of any man in the par
sh to the minister's salary !"-
We'll, says Peter to Satan, "that
llters the case again, you see. =
With that the devil got little riled

lay about him suppose we rattle for
