Objection Removed.

damsel was pronounced by his friends as
unfit to marry certain young divine, be-
cause, forsooth, she "was without pen.
n.y." He was weak minded enough, after
having proposed to her in form, to give
way to their remonstrances, and she was
strong minded enough to bring an action
against him for breach of promise"
The damages were laid at five thousand
pounds, and she gained them in full. The
impressional defendant who reaped moth
ing but ridicule from his former advisers,
throughout this trying ordeal-which in
cludeS protracted discrimination by
Sergeant Valentine-was now brought to
reason. He addressed the young lady
even more fervently than before 81 have

you will only forgive and forget, we may

pounds of your very own" And the
happy pair were married accordingly

State Rights-The Supreme Court.

An important question has been decided
by the Supreme Court of the United
States: the question whether a State of
the American Union can secede to the ex-
tent to work severance of its relations
with release of its people from their al
legiance to the Federal Government. The
decision was rendered in the case of the
State of Texas Us George NJ. White, and
others. The opinion of the majority of
the Court was rendered by the Chief JUS
tee. The Court began by stating that:
So far as the object could be accomplished by
ordinances Of the Convention, by acts of the Leg
isatuIe and by votes of the citizens, the relations
OF Texas to the Union were broken up,
and new relations 10 a new government were sub
stituted for them. The position thus assumed
could only be mai ntained by arms, and Texas
eordingly took part with the other Confederate
States In the war OF rebellion, which these events
made inevitable. During the whole of the war
there was no Governor or Judge, or any other
State officer In Texas who recognized the national
authority; nor was any officer OF the United
States permitted to exercise any authority what
ever under the National Government within the
limits OF the State, except under the immediate
protection OF the national military forces.
Upon this statement of the facts the
Court inquiries: "Did Texas in conse-
quence of these acts, cease to be a State
Or, if not, did the State cease to be mem
Der of the Unioni" And this question it
answers as follows:
The obligations OF the State as a member of the
Union, aud OF every citizen of the State as citi
zen oil the United States, remained perfect and
1nimpared. II necessarily follows that the State
did not cease to be State nor her citizens to be
the State must have become foreign and her citi-
Eens foreigners. The war must have ceased 10 be
war Tor the suppression OF the rebellion and
must have become war for conquest and subju-
cation.
Our conclusion, therefore, is, that Texas con-
tinued TO be State. and q State OF the Union.
notwithstanding the transactions TO which we
have referred, and this conclusion, In our judg-
ment Is not in conflict with any act or declaration
OF any department of the National Government,
but entirely In accordance with the whole series
OF such acts and declarations since the first out
break Of the rebellion.
The argument not only includes the
idea that the Union formed under the Goa
stitution is perpetual and indissoluble, but

Woman and her Needs.

Subject by the law Of nature to many physical
Affections from which man is exempt, woman is
peculiarly entitled to the best efforts of medical
science in her behalf. For majority of the all
ments to which her sex is exclusively liable, HOS
LETTERS STOMACH BITTERS are warmly re-
commended on the authority of wives, mothers,
and nurses, who have tested their genial tonic and
regulating properties, and "know whereof they
speak, and also with the sanction of able phys
clans, who have administered the preparation to
their female patients, in obstinate cases of fune-
tional arrangement, with the happiest results.
Almost all female complaints of special charac-
ter, complicated with mental gloom and de-
spondency, and the gentle and lasting exhilarat-
ing effects of this wholesome medicated stimu-
liant adapts admirably for cases of this complex
nature. AS a remedy for the hysteria and mental
Authorizations which sometimes mark both the
earlier and later crisis in the life of woman, it
has equal in the repertory of the healing art,
and as a means of relieving the nausea and other
unpleasant feelings which precede maternity, it
is equally efficacious. Nursing mothers also find
it an admirable invigorant 1t is highly satisfac-
tory that preparation which embraces in its re-
medal range so many OF the complaints common
to both sexes, should prove so cminently benef-
cial O the weaker one.

Early Chickens.

For this latitude and with the necessa-
ry facilities for protecting the young
broods against the storms and inclemen-
cies incident to the season, l esteem the
months of April and May as the best for
having them come forward; while in re-
gions further south should prefer to have
them Matched out at least month earlier
Now, this preference for early Matching is
predicated in part upon the superstition
that somebody will look after the welfare
of young birds, and not allow them to be
given over entirely to thei mothers care.
Where they are to be abandoned entirely
to their mother, and to struggle and
scratch their way up as best they may be
able, I think the better plan will be to al
low the hens themselves to determine the
time and season when they will bring forth
their broods.
Chickens Matched in the early spring,
where properly protected and tended, are
generally more vigorous and healthy, grow
more rapidly through the summer months,
and make larger fowls than those arriving
in latter portions of the breeding seasons.
And, furthermore, puliets which come in
the early spring are 80 veil mstured that

Salt as a Manure for Wheat.

GROUND should be tested for salt, and
its needs ascertained before it is applied !;
or else only small portion of wheat
field should be selected for the purpose of
making an experiment with view of
getting results that may be of use in after
years If the former course be adopted,
and the farmer is unacquainted with the
details of chemical analysis, the presence
of salt may be ascertained by the follow
ing simple experiment:
Collect from the fields cupful of dry
soil, and stir it for considerable time in
two quarts of clear rain water. Filter it
now through porous paper placed in
funnel, the same as druggists do their
liquid preparations or carefully pour off
the water after all the impurities have set
tied Fill tumbler with the liquid, and
pour into it little dissolved nitrate of sill
yer, which will throw down, if salt be
present, white precipitate, which will be
more or less plentiful, according to the
abundance of the salt in the soil.
The following are the good results that
ordinarily follow the application of salt to
grain fields that are deficient in it; plump
er, firmer and more numerous berries;
more tenacious stalk, which is less liable
to lodge; the destruction of several kinds
Oh luSeClS tudt are Injurious W TIC young
plant, fastening the maturity of the crop;
and the prevention, to a considerable de-
gree, of the liability to rust
Now all these are desirable ends to &C.
complish, and, at time when two bushels
of salt can be bought for one bushel of
wheat, we trust that farmers will risk a
little in making an experiment. even if on
small scale. 1t Is the usual practice to
scatter the salt broad cast, at the rate of
four or five bushels to the acre, after the
grain has been put in. Many farmers
who have used it is this manner, have
given their testimony that their crop of
wheat has been greatly increased, and the
crop Of weeds, bugs and worms CORES.
pondingly diminished. If this is, SO it is
evident that salt performs two important
offices, while ordinary manure performs
but one.-Prdirie Farmer.

they win commence laying in the ensuing
fall, and lay through the winter, if they
are duly fed and protected. From my own
observation, am satisfied that chickens
coming in early spring are less liable to
that pestiferous affection called gapes "a
disease which destroys thousands annual
ly and, which is caused by little red and
threadlike worm, which is supposed to be
produced through the spring rains or night
dew, and finds its. way, through the food
or drink of the young chick, into its wind
pipe, and there remains and feeds till the
lungs of the little birds are perforated, and
life is destroyed) than those which come
at a later period, when the chilly night

Petty Spite.

We observe that Grant has removed
from small land-off1ce in Greenville,
Tenn, Andrew Johnson, Jr, son of the
late President This act of petty spite
toward his predecessor-this absence of
magnanimity, which almost any other
person in the country would have observed
is characteristic of the present Presi-
dent.
How poorly and meanly this contrasts
with the example of Gen. Taylor. When
he became President, in 1S49, he found
son of his opponent, Gen. Lewis Cass, the
Minister of the United States at Rome
Gen. Taylor continued him there during his
whole term. He declared that he would
not be guilty of an act which might ap-
pear indelicate- which might subject his
conduct to misconstruction, and place him
in the attitude of being governed as Presi-
dent by personal feeling and resentment
He, therefore, left the son of his late COM
petitor undisturbed in a most important
office. There was in this action magnani-
nifty and delicacy worthy of Gen. Taylor
Grant has none of it. There appears to
be nothing high minded or honorable in
his composition, but everything which is
exactly the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Stopped His Paper.

THE following anecdote of the late Mr.
Swain, from the Philadelphia Press is not
without its moral in other ATTITUDES than
Pennsylvania
Many years ago, Mr.. Swain, then editor
of the Public Ledger, was hailed at the
corner of Eighteenth and Chestnut
streets by very excited individual, who
informed him in the most emphatic terms,
Il have stopped your paper, sir" and
proceeded to explain the why and where
fore, all the time gesticulating wildly. "NIy
gracious, sir, you don't say so. Come with
me to the Office, and let us see if we can
not remedy the matter. 1t grieves me
that any one should stop my paper"
Down Chestnut street to Third the two
proceeded. Arriving at the office, Mr..
Swain said, Why, my dear sir, every
thing seems to be going on here as usual;
1 thought you had stopped my paper"
Then and there the excited gentleman,
whom the long walk, by the way, had
partly cooled, said that he had stopped
taking his one copy of the Ledger. Mr..
Swain was profuse in his apologies for
having misunderstood the meaning of his
late subscribers words, and regretted that
he had given him the tramp from
Eighteenth street to Third, down Chest
nut. The gentlemen went on his way
home, wiser if not better man, mar
yelling at the stupidity of editors in gen.
eral, and of Mr.. Swain in particular. Be-
fore he left, however, he ordered that the
Lsfgsr be still sent to his address

USEFUL RECIPES, ETC.

1T is said that passing red-hot iron
over old putty will make it so soft that it
may be readily removed.
MIXING hen feed with strong suds of
common soft soap is recommended both as
a preventive and cure of gapes.
WE see it stated that if well seasoned
shingles be dipped in limewash, and dried
before laying, they will last much longer,
and not become covered with moss.
