WASHINGTON, Jan 27.-The new
treaty between the United States and
the Feejee Islands has just been re-
ccived at the State Department. 1t
is rather vague in point of stipula-
tions and eccentric in form, consist
ing of an immense tooth of a whale,
richly variegated in colcr, and to the
side of which is attached a strongly
twisted grass cord, which serves as a
handle or as binding to the treaty.
The Laval agent, who delivered the
tooth, was instructed to say to the
President that it was treaty by
which the King of the Feejees mort
gagged his Islands to the Z. States
for the payment of the instrument or
indemnity due the United States to
continue for three years; the Presi-
dent, on his part, to agree to prevent
the rival Feejee King from levying
war against the legitimate sovereign
during the continuance Of the mort
gage. On being asked how the trea-
ty was to be ratified and exchanged,
the agent said his instructions were
that if the President accepts the tooth
the treaty is established. If he de-
clines the treaty, he is to return the
tooth to the King of the Feejees.-
The tooth was wrapped in rude cloth
made from the inner bark of tree,
without spinning or weaving. 1t is
not known whether this singular trea.
ty will be sent to the Senate for rati-
fcation.-COr. Bait. Gazette.

a Boston newspaper mentions a
very delicate, ingenious and beautiful
machine, which has recently been
constructed. This machine will take
a portion of a tree, after it has been
CD the right length and width, and
slave II into thin ribbons as wide as
roll of house paper, making one
hundred and fifty to the inch. These
rolls arc placed on walls by paper
hangers with paste and brush, pre-
cisely in the same manner as paper.
The wood is wet when used, and real
J., works easier than paper, because
it is more tough and pliable. In these
days, when variety is sought for, one
can finish house in different woods
to suit his taste. One room can be
finished in birds eye maple, another
in cherry, another in chestnut, ano-
thcr in white wood. Thus there is no
imitation, but the genuine article is
upon the walls. The longer the wood
hanging remains on the wall the more
distinct will be the grain and color of
the wood.

PERPETUAL MOTIoN.-The Peters
burg Express says Mr.. w: D. Wright,
cf that city, has invented machine
that comes nearer perpetual motion
than anything we have read or heard
of, and all it lacks is the proper ma
chinery to make it perfect, for which
purpose he will visit Baltimore next
week. His model consists Of two box
es about four inches apart, which
contain the machinery, Connected
with two tracks, one with grade of
two and half inches, and the other
about an inch. The ball used is a
canister shot found on the battle
field, April 2, 1865. and weighs six
ounces, which is placed upon the top
track and started. Itpasses through
the box down on the lower track into
the other box, causing II bell to strike
as it passes through to the top track,
and continues on as long as the ball
remains on the track. This is GER
tainly a curious invention.

AN EXCELLENT SUGGEsTIoN.-h
good dsuggcstion is made by the South
crn Cultivator that our planters and
farmers should plant ,portioI. OF
their fields with early northern corn"
Rpeling two or three months before
Southern varieties in present field
use, it would enable US to have food
for man and beast so much sooner
Though especially advisable in a year
of scarcity, it would be wise at all
times, as it gives that constant sue
ccssion Of crops for sale, which is the
source of all successful farming, be-
SIDES availing ourselves of the advan-
tage Of our longer growing season.
Werccollect copying from the Ian
caster Lcdger, a paragraph giving
the result of an experiment made last
year by Mr.. GoocH, of that District,
with early Northern corn it was
planted at the usual time, and in Ju-
" he had corn ready for the mill.

camp; as David built hisspalace on
Mount Sion, so would a Turkish
Pasha now arrange his house. In
every street may be seen the hairy
children of Esnu, squatting on the
ground, devouring amess of lentils
like that for which the rough hunter
sold-his birth-rieht. Along every road
plod the sons of Rachel, whose fathers,
thousands of years ago, bound them-
selves and theirs to drink no wine,
plant no tree, enter within mo door,
and they have kept the oath; and at
every khan are young men around
the pan of parehed corn, dipping their
morsel into the dish. aa
Jobs plow is still used, and the
seed is still trodden into: the ground
by asses and kline. Olives ares shaken
from the boughs as directed Isaiah,
and the grating oftrees is unchanged
since the days of Saul. The Syrian
house is still, as formerly, onlya stone
tent, as a temple was but marble
tent. WHAT'S now seen in Bethany
may be taken as. the exact house of
Lazarus, where Mary listened and
Martha toilcd, or as the house of
Simon the leper, where the box Of
precious ointment was broken and
whence Judas set out to betray his
master.

An ITEM FOR BACHELoRs.-A B in-
dicious wife is always chipping off
from her husbands moral nature lit
tie twiss that ale growing in wrong
direction. She keeps him in shape by
continual pruning. lfyou say any
thing silly, she will afectionatcly tell
YOU so. If youdeclare that you will do
some absurd thing, she will find
means of preventing yonr doing
it. And by far the chief part Of all
the common sense there is in this
world belongs unqucstionably to wo-
man. The wisest things.a a man com
monty docs arc those which his wife
counsels him to DO. A wife is the
grand wicllcr of the moral pruning
knife. If Jolnson's wife had lived.
there would have been no boarding
up of orange peel-no touching all
the posts in walking along the streets
no eating and drinking with a dis
gusting voracity. If Oliver Gold
smith had been married, ho would
never have worn that memorable and
ridiculous coat. Whenever you find
q man whom you know little about,
oddly dressed, or talking absurdIy'
or exhibiting any cccentricity ofman-
ner, you may be tolerably sure that
he is not married man; for the cor
ners are rounded off, the little shoots
are pruncd away in married men,
Wives generally have much more
sense than their husLands-especial'
ly when their husbands arc clever
men. The wife's advices are like the
ballast that keeps the ship steady;
they are the wholesome, though pam
ful, sheers, clipping off little growths
Of self-conccit.

Long absent, but warmly loved, as
well in the day of his power as when
a shackled prisoner in Fortress Mon
roe, the hearts ofour people ycarn

terabc affection. For what he tried
to do-for what he has borne and
suffered in the cause of the people,
he will always be honored and remerl-

BEAUTIFULLY EypREssED,-The
Memphis Avalanche of late date,
thus closes an editorial upon the
character, intelligence, courage and
patriotism of the soldiers that COM
posed the Southern army:
Surely no army ever had in it
such soldiers as were those of our
Southern army. The pulpit sent its
ministers, great and good. The bar
sent its lawyers in troops. The press
sent its editors, publishers andprin-
tcrs. The colleges sent out its pro-
fessors and students by the hundreds.
The morals and intelligence, the conr-
age, the. purity of the Southern sol
dier, has hardly been equalled in The
annals Of war. No power can ever
compel the Southern people to forget
their virtues or ignore their patriof.
ism. The heel of the despot can
never crush out the feeling of devo.
tion to the memory OF our glorious
dead. The military satrap may pro-
vent our following the exhumed dead
to their last resting place, but we
cannot be prevented from embalmine
them in our memory, and enshrinine
them in our hearts. As long as earth
bears a flower, or the searolls wave,
so long will heart and memory cling
to those who fell in the lost cause
The name of The humblcst private
Shall live in amaranthine beauty,
when proudcr names shall have gone
down to infamy.

PATRoNIzE ADVERTISING HOUSES.
One who knows what he is talking
about, discourses after the following
fashion. Hear him: -
When we see a business firm giving
publicity to the particular branch Of
trade, VIC argue that such house is
alive to the requirements of the time.
1t implies not only keen sagacity,
but likewise that sort of hberality
which is sure to attract the attention
of the trade. Many establishments
forego the benefits of advertising
from spirit of mare. psnuriousu sss.

EXERCISE The development of
Drawn is the muscular Christianity of
these modern times. Few men ac-
customed to outdoor labor know
much of the pains and aches incident
to men of letters. You farmer men,
God gives you the sleep of the child
sound, sonorous sleep. You men
of the anvil and the lathe, you too
seek tired natures sweet rcstorcr,
ballny sleep, with will. But ah,
how different with the merchant, the
lawyer, the clergyman, all profession
al men, and to a large extent conf
mercial men and mechanics. 1t is
hard enough for the editor, for exam
pie, to work over paper, pen in hand
all day and into night, and then when
the Pickering lamp of night grows
pale and sick, to drag himself off to
dozc, to dream Of his task not yet
done, to hear the clamor of printers
for more copy, to ransack papers and
periodicals all night, to stoop over
tile forms, to deal a blow at that evil,
to receive and parry thrust from
this quarter, and then rise in the
gray dawn to jade ones life or to the
end. Now, just so it is in business
of every kind. Sleep is.the restorer
of nature, worth more than all the
doctors Of Christeniom. How to
get it is the question. How to get
it? Nothing easier; get weary in
body as we'll as in mind. This then
is our law. No sane man, who. cx-
poets TO remain sana mems an corporc
sano, ought TO forget that he has two
beings, a natural and Il spiritual one.
The mind and the body; weary one,
and it never rests; weary the otlIer,
and it drags down into sort Of COM
pulsivc slunlber the whole man. A
man of letters ought to be in some
outdoor employment six hours out OF
twelve. Seven to exercise, seven to
the mind, seven to sleep, three to
meals, and all to God, is o good rule.

serves him right" and the most bitter
and vengeful threats, indlca ed a
disposition to commit murder on the
spot.
The behavior of Mr.. Logan, thus
surrounded, was most commendabl .
Calm, cool, and perfectly unquenched,
he held his tongue and waited for the
excitement to subside. During this
period, it is but Just to say the lead
ers of the convention of both races
did all in their power to preserve or
der and prevent what was most feared
Among these may be
mentioned G. C. Bowen, who like DR..
fMackey, was the subject. Of dcscrip-
ton in the Mercury of yesterday;
B. F. Whittemore, DR.. Newell, Il, G.
DeLarge, W. J. Whipper, j.. J.
Wright, w. E. johnson. c. M. Will
der. r. Hurley, and others.
The counsel of these parties and
their associates finally y prevailed. 1t
gradually stole over the minds of
members that the "dignity of the
convention" was at stake, and Mr..
Logan Was permitted to retire again
to the vicinity of the reporters table.
Here policeman made his appear
ance. Mr., Logan requested his COM
pany to the Office of The Mercury
and protection from the mob.
At this point DR.. Mackey again
came up, and, hearing the request of
the representative OF the Mercury,
said that he himself would accompany
Mr.. Logan from the hall, and afford
him protection. B. F. Whittemore,
Hurley, J. J. Wright, Randolph, aud
others, likewise offered their escort,
whereupon the parties left the hall.
SCENES WITHOUT.
There is no doubt that had not the
tcmporizing measures of a few of the
calmer and more sensible men in the
convention prevailed, the afiray would
have resulted in a serious manner
Only the presence and counsels Of
delegates possessing the confidence of
the outside tl,rong prevented blood
shed. The threats made were loud
and sanguinary, and a spark only
would have. ignited /. spirit ripe for
any evil. DIR. Mackey, however,
took occasion to say to crowd out
side that lie did not hold Mr:L"gan
at all responsible for the publication.
and in vituperative language charged
it upon Mr.. Rhett, the editor of the
Mercury. ..d .aa
Mr.. Logan has but single bruisc;
and that is on his forehead. The
only wonder is that, under the cir
cumstanccs, first Of being assauIte
by amuch larger man than himself
and secondly OF being threatened with
still more severe punishment by all
excited crowd, he escaped so well.
The above facts are written in the
same fair and candid spirit that has
prompted all the rep Drts concerning
the convention in this paper. They
are the observations of an cyc-wit-
ness, and therefore-truth.
