PARTISAN PROGRESSION ILLUsTRATED.-
The Butte Record is responsible for the fol-
lowing
Since the secession of the Breckenridge
party at Charleston, with unparalleled eff
frontery, they have urged the doctrine of
secession test of Democracy. This con-
slant recourse to a single idea reminds US
OF the following story:
An old Quaker lady has recently been
travelling in Missouri, and on her return
home she was asked byher friends what she
thought OF the cooking. She replied: "Well
thee can have one instance. l stayed at
friends house, and in the morning had
skillet to wash in. 1 had not more than
made my toilet when the servant came for
the skillet soon after. on looking out of
the window, where | had fu view Of the
kitchen, saw the cook scald out the skillet
and then fry some pork, then she used it to
warm some potatoes, and then boiled some
coffee in it. 1t appeared to be useful uten-
sill for all purposes. On retiring to bed that
night l was greatly vexed to find that the
same skillet was the only vessel in my
ROOM"

position, and the secession skillet confronts

DExTER's PEDIGREE.-The pedigree of
Dexter with some people Is doubtful ques-
non. The admirers of Henry Clay claim
TIA. this stallion is the sire of the marvel
Why /? Because they assert he is marked
ike the progeny of Clay. This is slender
thread upon which to base a claim, and vet
there are hundreds of men in Orange Coun-
- and elsewhere, who are ready to bet that
Dexte. was not sired by Hamblet0nian. In
fact, the object of this paragraph is to de-
eide wager OF ,.is kind between two gen.
tlemen. We have no reason to doubt that
Dexter is descended from the loins of the
old horse at Chester. We have closely in
vestigated the matter, and speak from sound
conviction. Mr.. Hawkins, who bred Dex-
ter, has told Us repeatedly that the dam of
the marvel was never bred to Clay that she
was sent to Hambletonian and covered by
him nine months before Dexter was foaled
and that he could not understand how Claw
could be his sire unless Hambletonian and
Clay were one and the same horse. As Mr.
Hawkins is gentleman his word should be
ss good as his oath and his testimony set
ties the pedigree of Dexter beyond dispute.
Another point The weanling now at Stony
Ford, purchased from Mr.. Hawkins by
George Alley, Esq, siied by Hamb letonian
and out Of Dexter's dam, is marked like
Hr. Z jnner's horse and its physical bearing

pererogatlon.
We respectfully suggest the propriety of
keeping the expense Of the Public School
within the compass of the School Fund.
The credit system is alike onerous to the
State, County, and School District. The
uncertainty of time of payment produces
a want of confidence, hence double prices
must be paid in almost every pecuniary
transaction. We are of opinion that the
interest of the Schools as we'll as Of all par
ties interested, will be promoted BY being
conducted ON true cash basis which the
School fund if properly disbursed, is amply
sufficient to accomplish.

The wind is musician by birth.
We extend siiken thread in the crew
ices of window, and the wind finds it,
and sings over it, and goes up and
down the scale on it, and poor Pagani-
hi must 90 somewhere else for honor,
for lol the wind is performing upon a
single string. 1t tries almost anything
on earth to see if there is music in it,
persuades tone out of the great bell
in the tower when the sexton is at home
and asleep, it makes a mournful harp
of the giant pines, and does not dis
dain to try what sort of whistle can
be made of the humblest chimney in
the world. How it will play upon a
great tree till every leaf thrills with the
notes in it, and the river that runs at
its base is sort of murmuring accom-
paniment. And what a melody it sings
when it gives concert with full
choir of the waves of the sea, and per
forms an anthem between the two
worlds, which goes up, perhaps, to the
stars, that love music the most, and
sang it the first. Then how fondly il
haunts the old house; mourning under
the caves, signing in the halls, opening

An INGENIOUS NovELTY.-Mr. d. L.
Kennedy, of Philadelphia, has invented
and constructed an ingenious device,
by which persons sitting inside their
own houses can see everything that
passes on the street, not only in front of
their doors, but for many squares, in
both directions and both sides of the
street. 1t is a simple arrangement Of
two mirrors placed at right angles to
each other, and set in tin or other
case or frame. 1t is designed to be set
| in one of the secoDd-story chamber
windows, and can be used while the
blinds are down. Placed in the proper
position, it will even show who is at
the front deor bell matter of no small
convenience in these days of trouble
some pedlars, importunate beggars and
intruders generally. But its most In
teresting employment is for the use OF
invalids, who cannot look out OF the
window, and who would like the
monotony of the sick room to be reliev-
ed by sight OF what IS gong on IN
the street. For this use it is admirable.
1t is called the " window reflector" and
| is both simple in construction and mex
pensive in cost.
In Germany no teacher is considered
as qualified to teach even a common
school, who has not some knowledge OF
music. He must be able TO lead choir
of voices to sing, and to perform on
! some instrument. On the Continent
LOT Europe they are wise in this re-
spect; and their music forms a daily
part Of the educational training. 1t is
| found far more effective than tasks,
the rod or angry reproof, for soften
ling rugged dispositions. In respect to
moral training and discipline we re-
gard music or singing in school as In
valuable. Nothing so quickly relaxes
the mind, and frees it from bad feel
iugs and discouragements which the
daily studies may engender. 1t re-
Elieves the teacher, too, to join in
cheerful song, both bodily as well al
mentally.

EsKiss Me.'3

A very funny incident occurred in a
neighboring city, says an exchange, g
few days since, and one which is toe
good to be lost. One of our celebrated
composers has written very pretty
song entitled, "Kiss Me-" A very
pretty, blushing maid, having heard Of
the song, and thinking she would gel
it with some others, stepped into mu.
sic store to make purchase. One ot
the clerks, modest young man, stepped
up to wait on her.
The young lady threw back hel
veil, saying:
"I want Rock Me to Sleep"
The clerk got the song and put i
before her.
"Now," said the young lady, 81 wan

Onions AND CARRoTs.-A fayorite
way of growing onions about Narragan-
sett Bay, R. L, is to cultivate them to-
gether with carrots. The onions are
sown about the 1st of April, in rows
one foot apart, and the carrots about
June 1st, in every third space between
the rows, making the carrot rows three
feet apart. The onions are taken of
early in August, when the carrots have
the ground. As carrots make the
most of their growth after the middle
of August they have ample time to
make good crop. The yield, in good
soil and with good treatment is about
500 bushels of onions, and 400 OF car
rots to the acre.

DREAMING.
BY LILY LAEKSPUR.

I'm dreaming tonight of happy day
That in childhood's s early morning lay,
When the south wind waved the flowers fair,
And played among thy shining hair,
As we wandered gaily along the stream
That glided away like an early dream,
Or stopped there to gaze in the waters black,
And laughed that it mirrored our faces back.
o, none were more gay meath the summer 8
sky
Thou vert young and happy, and so was l.
I'm dreaming again of another day
Which came like the other and passed away
We sat alone in the moons calm light,
And talked of love on that starry night;
And peither knew that each hearts fond carr
Was to cherish the others image there,
Till we read in our glances, that would no
sleep,
The secret that both had tried to keep.
There was peace in our hearts, and no sorrow
nor sigh,
For thou vert loved and SO was /.
I'm dreaming once more of the night tba
came
And dampened aud darkened that holy
flame;
Twas a sad, lonely night, as dreary as this
That awakened forever my bright dream o.
bliss.
I'm not wishing thee back by my side again
But think of thee oft as / loved thee then
The glad spell is broken and long passet
away,
And my hearts love and music have vanish
ed for aye -.
As the cold, weary wind walls mournfully
by
Thou art alone-aDd SO am l.

boot-blacks are very particular. One

tied. The Supreme Court of the United
States delivered an opinion Saturday which
reversed the decision of the Circuit Court Of

at length come into possession Of an estate
worth several millions of dollars The case
is more remarkable from the pcFsi stance

EARLY CULTIVATION OF PoTATOEs--
Much labor may be saved by running
bush harrow over the ground just as
the shoots are breaking through. This
will disturb the whole surface Of the
ground, and is equivalent to a good
hoeing. A week or ten days later go
between the rows with eultiyator, and
if the young shoots are covered deeply
with dirt it will not harm them. The
early sorts will only need cultivating
once or twice more, and this can be
done by horsepower Early and fre-
1uent cultivation makes cheap potatoes
