The business men of Jackson are
generally in the habit Of patroniEing
home industry. We rarely complain
Of them. We have been somewhat
amnsed latOly at seeing some scrip
printed in Cincinnati for one or two Of
our retail merchants. We told them
that we Copld print just aS nice scrip,
and DO It little cheaper They were
surprised and said they would have had
itdone here, but they had no idea that
wsOOuId get that kind Of paper. Now
We can get any grade Of bank-nOte
paper here, just as we'll as il can be bad
In Cincinnati. We have new type,
Hourishes, curves, cuts 80. We have
as good Ink as can be manufactured In
the United states,of all colors. When
you want scrip, or any other kind OF
neat ieb work, give US trial We
warrant our work, or we will make no
charge for il.

Iieve a word Of Mrs. Stoves monssrous and
revolling story about Lord Byron and his half
sister Augusta Leigh. Last week the New
York Tribune had several letters which were
written ito Mrs. Leigh by Lady Byron, and the
Tribune says editorially: 4.
'"Thc letters FROM Lady Byron To Mrs. Leigh
which We publish to-day are so apparently con-
elusive Of the iSlsIr Il. Mrs. Stowe 8 narrative

The Power OF SulkineSs.

GREAT is the power of sulkiness. For
tunately for the world, it rarely exists in
its highest and most concentrated form,
for, if united to real intellectual or moral
force, it would be a despotism 80 thorough
as to he injurious t, the general welfare of
humanity. But in a less and more ignOble
form IL is not uncommon, and the dead
weight and steady, choking pressure which
mankind endure in consequence go TO
make up an almost intolerable grievance.
There are people who have the gift of be-
ing sulky for an indefinite length of time,
and assert that they act thus on principle !;
but it is almost invariably found that the
principle harmon zes with the nature, for
TO tempers that are short and sweet, hot,
inconsistent, or quickly placsble,-and any
of these are liable to be suddenly vexed
for an hour or twO,-it is always diff
ficulty to sulk. 1t is bit of acting, and
not reality, even when carried out, and
the assumption of il is felt to be burden
too heavy to be borne.
The capacity for steady, solid, cOncen-
trated sulkiness is a mighty power to him
VINO possesses it; 1t implies many curious
and varied accomplishments and gifts,
among others that of the complete mastery
Of the five senses. 1t is for man to be
blind when it Is desired that he should
open his eyes, dumb whenever words
would be acceptable, deaf to all allure
ments or submission, insensible to every
effort at Cancellation. 1t can create gloom,
and, having created it, it can perpetuate
and deepen it until it becomes a
clinging atmosphere as unwhOlesome as
malaria. 1t comprehends an absO-
lutte control over the facial muscles.
so that 10 soft1ess or sign OF
yielding, not ripple of smile or an ex-
preston of pleasure, may replace even
Tor moment the sullen apathy or illu-
mine the habitual scowl of the confirmed
sulker. In a word, it is the faculty of
stimulation to such degree that person
shall appear to be blind, deaf, dumb, stu
pid, paralyzed. ill, or dead, whenever and
for as long as he chooses. Mr.. Helps has
truly said, "Unreason always governs.
Nothing prevents your having your own
way 30 much as being at all amenable to
reason" And sulkiness neither gives rea-
sons nor listens to them The sulky being
sometimes wears depressed, splritless
and utterly detected appearance, as though
crushed and heartbroken by long -contin
ued oppression; sometimes q heavy, dis
pleased, dragging step, and a black and
lowering brow are the chief signs which
indicate the disturbance within, and tht

4 Strange Accumulation.

THOMAS Dick puts the boarding of
wealth in this striking way:
Suppose man could lay up stock of
clothes and provisions sufficient to last
him for 300 years, what would it avail
him, since he can live at most but from 70
to 100 years? Suppose he had laid up in
a store house 70, 900 pairs of shoes, to what
end would it serve, if he could make use,
during his whole life, of only the one
hundreth part of them? He would be in
the same condition as a man who had
hundred dishes placed before him at din
ner, but who could only take one or of q
person who had hundred mansions pur-
chased for mis- residence, but who could
occupy only one. How ridiculous it
would appear if all that could be said of
a man while he lived was simply this
that his whole life was occupied in collect
ing and laying up in a store house 6O,0OO
mahogany chairs which were never in
tended to be used for the furniture of
apartments, or $4,000 pairs of trOwsers
which we're never intended to be worn :?
And where is the difference, in point of
nationality and utility, between such alb
surd practices, and boarding thousands of
guineas and bank notes which are never
brought forth for the benefit of mankind.
There is no conduct connected with the
pursuits of human beings that appears
more absurd and wicked than such prac-
tices (hOwcver common), if examined by
the dictates of reason and the word of
God.

The Bull.Snake.

THE bull-snake, although it abounds
upon our western prairies, is very little
known to naturalists. 1t grows to length
of about ten or twelve feet, is very thick
in girth, and strong and bold. 1t never
attacks man, but haunts the neighbor-
hoods of the wild outlying prairie farms,
the poultry kept on which in such abund-
ance seems to from an irresistible attrac-
ton to this great snake, as, indeed, poultry
generally does to all other reptiles of It's
kind. 1t is terribly voraciOus, and, what is
more rare in snakes which are not venom
Gus, will kill and destroy for the mere
sake of killing. A bull-snake in a large
hen-rOost will in a night do as much mis-
chief as will require three mon hs' hatch
ing to repair. Once, when driving out
with friend to visit station on the
prairles good deal west of the Mississip-
pi, drove over one of these snakes in the
long tangled prairie grass, which was then
more than four feet high. The shock his
bulk gave almost upset the light "buck-
board on which we rode We turned at
once, and saw large, dark mass of bull
snake writhing his dirty, black coils in all
the agony of mortal wound. He was
evidently quite helpless to escape or live
so we jumped down, and with the butts of
our whips beat what little life remained
out of him. Yet till the last blow he
fought us with fierce hissings and at
tempts to bite, and would, no doubt, have
made serious resistance had he not been
so injured to start with. His length was
nearly eleven feet, and his jaws, or rather
mouth, contained four rows of teeth, all
small, but all intensely sharp-pointed, and
crooked, and curved back wards None OF
these, of course, were venomOus; but the
wound they would infllct would be very
severe from the multitude of small. deep
lacerations. The jaws were exceedingly
powerful but there was nothing what
ever in the creatures stomach but the re-
mains of praire hen, which had evident
ly been eaten some days before.-Serpents

DURING the late session of the Massa-
chusetts Legislature there were 466 acts
and 1O3 resolves passed, and all of them
were approved by the Governor. The
pay roll of the Senate amounts to $34, $50,
and that of the House $205 $50, being at
the rate of IS per day. This does not in.
cluue any OF the officers but those presid-
ing over the two branches, and the entire
amount to be paid officers and members
will be over quarter of million of dol
lars.
