sulphuric acid, (oil of vitrol.) To this add
one hundred pounds broken bones. To be

dissolved in three weeks. Then add four
times its bulk in muck (dry if you have it. }
The tub should be kept covered. If the
material is kept hot, three days will do it
as we'll as three weeks, if cold.
To dissolve bones without acid. To a

wood ashes, then alternately layer OF
bones and ashes, ending with ashes add
water sufficient to wet, but not to drip;
brine is much better. In time these bones
will dissolve. This mixture is powerful!

p6- Judge Jonah Jones, Western judi

lowing charge to the jury in the case of 0n'
Film Crouch, on trial for stealing:
"Jury, you can 60 out, and don't show
your ugly mugs here till you can find
verdict. If you can't find one of your own
git the one the last jury used"
The jury retired, and, after an absence
of fifteen minutes, returned with a verdic
of ''suicide in the ninth degree and fourth
verse;"
Then Judge Jones pronounced upor
Crouch the sentence:
s.Flim Crouch, stan right up and fac
the music. You are found guilty of suicid'
for stealing. Now, this court sentence
you to pay fine of two shillings, to shaw
your head with bagganet in the barracks
and if you try to cave in the heads OF any
of the jury, you'll catch thunder, that's all
Your fate will be warning to others: and
in conclusion, may the Lord have mercy o'
your SOUL"

NOT LAWYER ENOUGH TO HURT.

in the church, has been definitely settled al
F., city of Illinois, where an interes'
ting revival of religion has been in progress
under the ministration of Presiding Elder
B, an able minister, and something Of
wit. That church was power IN the
city and country round about. A young
lawyer, Hiram D., had been regular
attendant at the meeting, had several times
gone forward to the anxious seat, yet seem
ed to be in no hurry to unite with the
church. The sickle had been thrust IN un
sparingly for several weeks, and now they
were, gathering the sheaves. Brother HI
ram was called to tell his experience anc
explain the difficulties in the way OF hls
s'coming out" He arose and said he felt
the necessity of being christian, but the
fact was he was just beginning in the
world, had no way of making living but
to practice law, and doubted whether
man could be lawyer and Christian too
At this point Elder B, cried out
"Come along, Brother Hiram, you are MOI
lawyer enough to hurt!

Have states Any Rights:

Unable to control the Convention which
is to revise the Constitution of Maryland,
the Radicals of that State threaten to ap-.
peal to Congress for Intervention, that
Federal power may shape matters to their
taste. In the same spirit, Radical journals
in Tennessee are declaring in advance that
the approaching election will not be per-
mitted to change the State Executive. If
BrownloW cannot be re-elected by votes,
they declare, Congress may be relied upon
to come to the rescue, and to declare him
Governor bv virtue of its will. Tne Nash
UiLle Press & Times says that the who sup
poses that Etheridge, evenif elected, would
be suffered by Congress to rule Tennessee,
knows little of its iron will and determine
tion." -g- TYAd4Q Il Z
Without entering into the merits or de-
merits of the candidates, it is impossible to
observe with complaeency these recurring
indications of a desire to fall. back upon
secure radical mastery. The policy of Con-
gress toward the South is no longer regard
ed by the extremists as exceptional. but is
applauded and justified as equally applica-
BILE to the Border States, ii they can be
made radical in. no other way. For the
present, Maryland and Tennessee are held
to be fit subjects OF congressional treat
ment. But if these States, why not Ken
lucky, which is perversely anti radical
And If Kentucky, why not also Connecti-
cut? If Etheridge is not to be allowed to
take his seat in the event of his election,
how happens it that Governor Euglish has
been allowed to deliver his inaugural? And
ii Maryland may not revise its own Con-
stitutiOn, why should New York be suffer
ed TO exercise the privilege .Ge
The principle is the same in all the cases
The right is the same in ALL And the fact
that the extremists shrink from the appli-
cation of their view to all is sufficient rea-
son for saying that it should not be applied
to any.-Ne,o York Times (RepublicdR).

Lie ON Las TraveIs.

The following paragraph was in the As
sociated Press dispatches received last
evening: - i'e
The Dubuque Herald states on the author
ity of gentlemen from Minnesota, that
the Governor of that State is about to issue
proclamation urging the citizens to ship
no more wheat down the river until after
harvest. owing to its scarcity.
The publicity given to the fact that in
some of our frontier counties there is q
scarcity of seed wheat is working consid-
cradle injury to the State. We see intima-
tions in various papers that a scarcity Of
food exists all over the State and that we
are in a starving condition. Toe daily
shipments of hundreds and thousands o.
barrels of flour and thousands of bushels
of wheat to the eastern markets ought tC
disprove all statements of this character
and would, if lies did not travel faster than
truth. We are exporting flour and wheat
| for the simple reason that these articles
command a higher price abroad than al
home, and we don't think Governor Mar
shal will interfere with the laws of trade
When there is a greater scarcity of wheat
at home, or when it brings higher price
at home, than it does in Milwaukee, ship
ments will come, without interference OF
the Governor ''or any other man."-St

Golden words.

Governor ENGLISH, the Democratic Gov
ernor of Connecticut, in his inaugural Ad-
dress used the following just language:
Will the precedent thus set by Congress
be forgotten? Will the Constitutions which
is impotent to restrain the fury of a major
ity to- day, become the sacred shield it once
was for the minority tomorrow? Will
the sword that is so easily drawn to estab-
lish Constitution now, be allowed to rest
in its sheath if needed to overthrow Con-
,stitution hereafter? It has been the honest
boast and just glory of the soldier that he
has saved to our people their old flag, with
out star displaced or stripe broken-but
useless has been the sacrifice if the people
no longer retain their faith in constitu-
tionaI government. II The charter of our
liberties has been lost, nothing has been
won. More than ever, at the pres
ent time, should any infraction of the
Constitution be regarded as public calam-
ity.sz By the vast increase of our public in
-debtedness every question which concerns
the Government credit comes home to every
person in the land. By that credit all w J.
ues are measured. 1t lies at the foundatit n
of all our wealth. our industry-of society
itself. No calamities of the past can eX-
eeed those which will befall us if,the pub
lie credit should give way. But how is it
to be preserved if the supreme law of the
land is itself repudiated? In what market
of the world is that Government trusted
which is swayed by revolutionary factions,
intent only upon the qualification of aInbi-
ton or the indulgence OF partisan resent
mentT Had the efforts of Congress been
properly directed, the industry and trade Of
the whole country would long since have
felt the grateful influence and the public
credit been strengthened. .'..
