sPEAKEK OF THE sENArE-HON
DORSEY Il. THOMAS.

From the Brownsville Bee. Aug. q.
As the Legislature will meet now in
few weeks, and organize for business
the public are beginning to discuss as TO
who will be selected as the presiding of
fcers over the Senate and lower house.
A number of good men have been spoken
of as suitable officers for both places.
The position of Speaker of the Senate
will be very important one, and the
man selected should be good and true
man-one that is efficient, capable and
trustworthy; one that, in the event he
should be called upon to fill the guber-
material chair, would be an honor to the
State. While we trust no one will accuss
us of prejudicing the claims of others,
we would suggest the Hon. Dorsey b.
Thomas, as Speaker Of the Senate. He
is every way well fitted for the position,
well posted in parliamentary usages, hav-
ing had considerable legislative expert
ence. Prompt, capable, experienced, hon.
est, and possessing, as he does, character
for morality that is unblemished, a man
Of strict integrity, and great decision OF
character, together with tact for the dis.
patch of business, he is, in our mind, the
most suitable man for speaker in the Sem
ate. His selection, we know, would give
entire satisfaction TO all. We know of no
man who possesses all the necessary
qualifications to make a good presiding
officer in a more eminent degree than
Hon. Dorsey B Thomas. II would be q
righteous act to elevate this distinguished
gentleman, as a just rebuke TO the
Infamous Brownlow and his co-work
ers In infsmy, who deprived him Of
his seat in Congress, and
his position as Collector of Customs for
New Orleans. But whether be shall be
selected as Speaker of the Senate, or not,
we feel confident that he will do his duty
nobly, and reflect great credit, both on his
constituents and himself. Those of Us who
followed the banner of that glorious but
now lost cause, have ever felt kindly to-
wards, and will ever cherish the many
acts of kindness done by Dorsey Thomas
for our sick and wounded comrades at
Perryville, Kentucky. There are large
number of them still alive who owe him a
debt Of gratitude that life of devotion
would scarcely repay. We unhesitatingly
declare d. B. Thomas our choice Tor
Speaker of the Senate.

The Raleigh Standard learns that the
mills owned by Col. J. Cathey, situated
on the east forks Of Pigeon river, Hay
wood county, N. c., were burned down
Saturday night, Aug. 81. The miller,
Mr.. George Bryson, persisted in the
flames. 1t is supposed that the miller
fell asleep during the night in question,
while the mill was grinding, and the
fire originated from the mill stones after
the grain was out. Col. Csthey's loss is
estimated to be upwards of $1,000.
Mr.. Bryson was poor man and leaves a
large family.

Spiritual Testimony.

In a case in New York the
other day, Judge Edmunds testi-
fed under oath as follows:
II believe those pictures are
photographs of spirits; 1 believe
that the camera can take photo
graph of a spirit, I believe also
that spirits are not immaterIal ;
in my opinion everything has
materiality ; they are sufficiently
so to be visible to the human eye;
and, therefore, I do not see why
they cannot be taken by a camera.
I believe that the camera can take
photographs of spirits which l can
see. The other day [ was in a
court in Brooklyn, when an accl-
dent insurance case was on trial.
I saw the spirit of the man who
had been insured; that spirit tod
me the circumstances connected
with the death; he told me that
he had committed suicide; | drew
a diagram of the place at which
his death occurred, and on show
ing it to the counsel, was told that
it. was exact; [ had never seen the
place nor the man, and no one in
the courtroom saw the spirit ex-
cept myself; the appearance ofthe
spirit was shadowy, transparent,
Icould see material objects through
it. The first spirit that l ever
saw was that of Judge Talmage,
who was leaning against a window
easement, which was plainly to be
seen through his body. l have
seen spirits clothed in their every
day dress as we'll as in grave
clothes, but never saw one with
out clothing"

Fearful Discovery.

Mr.. A. Rabb, a farmer who re-
sides about three miles west Of
the city, brought a strange story
in on Saturday. Mr.. Rabb has a
son-in-law living on farm about
four miles from Lafayette, named
MiIIar. Mr.. Miller has German
laborcr, who, in plowing over a
corn-tield, struck the upper crust
of something very much like the
Internal regions. A sufocating
odor was first emitted, followed
by a dense volume Of smoke. Ac-
cording to the Germans state
mcnt, the stencil was several de-
grees above the flavor Of the Illi-
nois street gutter. A sheet offame
soon burst from this terrible vol
cano, and a great confagration
was imminent for a time. but the
flames were finally subdued by a
few shovelfulls Of earth tossed in
the mouth of the crater. The
lava thrown out looked very much
like CASTLE soap. only it was not
so highly perfumed. On the con-
trary, it was exceedingly often
sive. 1t ignites easily, and burns
as freely as birthstone. The Ger
man was very badly frightened,
and after viewing the scene in ut
ter bewilderment for time, ejac-
ulated, "Vell, dat ish hell !" We
understand that Prof: Cox will
examine the ground, and if it
should prove an entrance into the
infcrnel regions, he will send for
Parson Brownlow to look further
into it. The people of Lafayette
are greatly alarmed, and already
it is said that roaring noise can
be heard underneath that doomed
city. We await further develop
ments with intense anxiety
Many persons may think this a
hoax, but it is not. Mr.. Rabb
doesn't look like a man who would
deceive a whole community about
as trifling a thing as the discovery
of hell in Indiana.

Bachelors and Flirts.
BY JOSH BILLINGS.

Some old bachelors git after q
firt, and don't travel as fast as
she doz: and then concludes all
the female group are hard to
ketch, and good for nothing when
they are ketched.
A flirt is a rough thing to over
haul unless the right dog gets af-
ter her, and then they are the
easiest Of all to ketch, and often
make the very best Of wives.
When a firt is really in love
she is as powerless as a mown
daisy.
Her impudence then changes
into modesty, her cunning into
fear, her spurs into a halter, and
her pruning-hook into a cradle.
The best way to catch firt is
tew travel the other way, from
which she is going, or sit down
on the ground and whistle some
lively tune till the firt comes
round.
Old bachelors make the firts,
and then the firts get more than
even by making the old bache-
lors.
A majority of fiirts get married
finally, for they hev a great guam
tity Of the most dainty tit-bits Of
woman's nature, and alwus have
shrewdness 10 back up their sweet
ness.
Flirts don't deal in poetry and
water grcwel; they hev got to
hev brains, or else somebody
would trade them out Of their cap
ital at the first sweep.
Disappointed luv must Nv course
be all on one side. This aint any
more excuse for being an old
bachelor than it il fur a man to
quit ali kinds Of manual labor jist
out Nv spite, and jine poor-house
bekasc he can't lift ton at one
pop.
An old bachelor will brag about
hiz freedom to you, hiz relief from
anxiety, hiz independence. This il
a dead beat past resurrection, for
everybody knows there ain't a
more anxious dupe than he IL
All hiz dreams are charcoal sketch
es of boarding-school misses. He
dresses, greases hiz hair, paints
his grizzly mustache, cultivates
bunyons and corns, tcw please
hiz captains (the wimmen,) and
only gets laffed at fur hiz pains.

Cheap Wash for Buildings.

Take a clean water-tight cask
and put into it one-half bushel of
lime. Slack it by pouring water
over it boiling hot, and in suffi-
cient quantity to cover it 6vo
inches deep, and stir it briskly,
till thoroughly slackened, dissolve
it in water, and add two pounds Of
sulphate Of zinc and one Of COM
mon salt. These will cause the
wall to harden and prevent its
cracking, which gives an unseemly
appearance to the work. a beau
tiful cream color may be given to
the wash by adding three pounds
of yellow ochre; or a good pearl
or lead color, by the addition of a
lump of iron black. For fawn
color add four pounds umber, one
pound ofIndian red, and one pound
common lampbiack. For stone
color add two pounds lampblack.
When applied to the outside of
houses and fences, it is rendered
more durable by adding about. a
pint of sweet milk to gallon Of
wash.

GRowLERs.-There is aclass ofmen
in every community who 60 about
with vinegar faces, ,gowling because
they are not appreciated as they
be, and who have constant QUAR-
rel with their destiny. These men
usually have made grave mistake
ia there estimate Of their abilities,
or are unmitigated donkeys. In Ell
ther case they are unfortunate.
Wherever this fault-f finding with
ones condition or position occurs,
there is always a want of self
respect. If fpeople despise you, do
not tell it all over town. If you
are capable, show it. Ifyou are a
right. down clever fellow, wash
the wormwood off your face, and
show your goodwill by your
deeds. Then, if the people feel
above you, go; right off and feel
above them. IF they swell when
they pass you in the street, swell
yourself, and if this does not
''fetch them," conclude very good
naturedly that they are unworthy
OF your acquaintance, and pity
them for missing such a capital
chance to get into good society.
