Human Nature.

Calamity, like many other words, is a
reistive term. | once went fishing with
portly gentleman, who, as rule, took
life easily. Our rendezvous was large
pond in the center of an old royal park,
finely wooded and undulating-an awk-
ward place for horse with q trap be.
hind it to bolt in. Nevertheless, our
horse did bolt with trap behind it just
after we had alighted. My friend clung
to the animal like grim death until the
strain was too much for him, and he fell,
the wheels passing over his body. On
getting up he said, Never mind the
horse and trap, let 'em smash I'm
thankful I've escaped as / have" On
finding himself unhurt he said, II hope
the horse isn't injured. ! don't care
much for the trap" On seeing the
horse led up, 6ery-eyed and quvering,
but unipjured, he said. Thank good
ness, that's all right; hope the trap
isn't smashed" On hearing the trap
was all right, he examined the harness,
and on that being found intact, he be-.
came more concerned than he had been

Mr.. Powers being asked whether he
really believed in the pretensions of mod
ern spiritualists, said: l am not be-
lever in the revelations of spirits, as
made known through mediums or other
wise, for most corrupt and unworthy
communications are often made; and.
with many mediums, there is great deal
of trickery, while there are some So
called mediums who are nothing else
than charatans. But do believe in the
fact of spiritual manifestations, animal
magnetism, and the moving Of solid
bodies, by means as yet unexplained by
purely scientific men. believe we are
now at the threshold of new era of dis
coveries, very unlike the past.

more candidates proposed for Presidential
advisers. There are a vast number of
persons just now who are declared to have
peculiar fitness for high positions Among
so many predictions in respect to who
will compose the Cabinet, It would not
be surprising if some of them should
prove true The great proportion, how

State Legisla Eure.

Our State Legislature is hard at work
and will probably adjourn before the
fourth of March. The paying of regu-
lar salaries to members, instead of pei
diem pay, doubtless contributes to the
shortening of the session. J If we had a
Legislature who would heed the advice
of the Governor, given in his last two
annual messages the session might have
been made shorter, and'@the volume OF
local laws, rendered less cumbersome.
Gov. Fairchild has very forcibly set forth
the duty of the Legislata4e, to refrain
from such legislation as legitimately be-
longs the county authorities. -
Yesterday was the time fixed by special
order in the Assembly, for tbs considera-
ton of the bill, to fix the tariff OF char
ges for freight and passengers on rail
roads; the bill limits the passenger fare
to three cents a mile Probably no bill
of the kind will pass this session. Bill
has been introduced for restoring the
death penalty for murder, but it is. con-
tended that no means have been taken,
to ascertain the sentimints of the people
of the State on this question, and there
fore any legislation in this direction
would be inadYisable. A bill was intro
duced for the enactment of a prohibitory
liquor law, but the measure seemed to
have no earnest supporters, and conse-
quently falls. The Assembly bill to sub
NIT to the people in November 1870, the
question Of female suffrage, has been re-
commended by the Senate Committee, to
be indefinitely postponed. The bill sub
st1tuting the township for the district
system, for the regulation of common
schools, is not expected to become law
this session. The bill proposing compul-
sorry attendance of children Of given age
at school, has met with noisy opposition,
but with no objections worthy of being
called argument. This measure has the
same opposition in kind, as was made
years ago to free schools The relic Of past
ages, the Grand Jury system, will proba-
bly, not be abolished until another year.
BY that time, light will perhaps be suf1
GENTLY diffused so that the Legislature
will venture to let go of this inquisitorial
tribunal.
Bills have been passed, appropriating
10000 to the State Prison and $4,000 to
the State Reform School Also exempt
ing commercial travellers, selling sample
goods from the payment of State licen
Also bill amending the law for the regis
tration of marriages. and to prevent the
setting of guns, pistols and revolvers.

pears to be anticipated at Washington
that the crowd of spectators, Office ex

indifferently as to accommodations.

DEATH PENALTY.-The House of Rep
resentatives in Illinois, has passed bill
to restore the death penalty for murder
by vote of 81 to 81 In favor of the
restoration of the death penalty it was
urged that as the law now stands, murder
goes practically unpunished, and leaves
the people in their Indignation to take
the law into their own hands. On the
other hand, it was commended, that re-
turn to the death penalty, was backward
movement and incompatible with the
spirit and progress of the ape.

MoNEY---The banking bill, which pas
sed the House of Representatives at
Washington, few days ago., provides for
the redistribution of $15O,e0OOO0 of the
National Bank Currency, according to
the appraised valuation of real and per
sonal property within the several States
and Territories. Statements of such val
uation to be ascertained and certified to
by the Governors of States and Terrific
res. The bill which makes this new dis
tribution, if it passes the Senate, will give
the West and South several millions more
curreacy. This would conduee to the re-
lief of the money pressure in the western
States.
