THE TALMUD.-H your wife is of small stat
ure, bow down to her and hear her word in
reference to domestic as well as worldly
affairs. The husband should ever be anx-
ious that the proper respect should be paid
to his wife, because the house is blessed
only for her sake. Honor your wife, and
you will be blessed with riches. Good and
bad luck, pleasure and grief, joy and sor-
row, are in the hands of the wife. Who
takes unto himself a wife, brings luck to
the house, or a yawning gulf. Who lives
without wife, knows no pleasure, no bliss,
no blessing. Who has to thank so much
to his wife will not only treat her with the
utmost regard and respect, but make her
position in the house fully equal to his
own.

Dangers of the North Passage.


A letter from sea captain is published
by the Washington Chronicle, in which is
pointed out the dangers attendant on cross
ing the Atlantic at this season. Until July
the ice is afioat, and fields of it miles u7on
miles in length and breadth, will be met
with on O too northerly passage. That was
the fate of the United Kingdom, of the
Anchor Line. She left New York on the
18th of April. 1862 Her captain had sci
ence on the brain, but no discretion; he
headed for Cape Race, and he headed the
United Kingdom into or on to an iceberg or
field of ice, that destroyed his ship so
suddenly that none were left to tell the
tale The writer of this left New York on
the 21st of April, and the captain (Guard,
of the Guion Line, which takes the south
ern and safest course), gave Cape Race a
205 miles space, kept south of the banks of
Newfoundland, and saw no ice. The cap
tain of the City of Boston, of the Inman
Line, bas, to my knowledge, been In the
ice 48 hours, on account of his high lati-
tude sailing; and do not hesitate to say
that so long as they continue it at this sea-
son of the year there will be missing steam
ers. Can there be no law of Congress to
regulate this matter and force them to steer
clear of the banks while ice is aheat? If
no law can reach it, then let the European
tourists sail only with those who will take
them through safe from theice on the banks
of Newfoundland. ., .F.
1t will be seen by the above extract that
the Guion Main Line of steamers tskes the
best and safest course from New York to
Liverpool, and therefore recommends itself
to passengers going to, or parties wishing
to bring their friends from the old country,
who will do well to secure their passage by
this old and reliable line. This line carries
the o. s. mail, and passengers are sure of
a safe and quick passage. For particulars

WHAT Is DIRT 2-0ld DR.. Cooper Of SC,
used to say to his students, ''Don't be afraid
of little dirt, young gentlenen. What is
dirt ? Why, nothing at all offensive, when 4
chemically viewed Rub little alkah on that
dirty grease spot on your coat. and it un-
dergoes q chemical change, and becomes
soap. Now rub it with a little water, and it
disappears; it is neither grease, soap, water,
nor dirt. Everything you call dirtis worthy
of notice, as students Of chemistry. Ana
lyze it 1t will separate into very clean
elements. Dirt makes corn, corn makes
bread and meat, and they make q sweet

A GHOST STORY.
LOrdIByron's Spirit Visits Mrs. Stoves
Household, In Florida.


From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
A colored tonsorial artist in this city, has
received letter from his ''old aunty," ane-
gress of Mrs. Harriet Bseeher Stoves
household in Florida, informing him that
the venerable Dlnah has been recently
much troubled by q supernatural visitor
She has tried horse-shoes and other anu
lets supposed to possess q special charm in
such cases, all to no effect, as the dread
ful guest contir1es 20 affiict her with its
presence. She describes the apparition
as of medium helJht, very thin, lantern
jaws, a most melancholy expression Of
countenance, and aScertains its sex
by feeble manifes tation Of dark
whiskers Just below the temples.
This description corresponds very close
ly with that given by Nr. Hobhouse of
Lord Byron few years prior to the laster's
departure for Greece, and there can be
little doubt that the mysterious visitor is
none other than the shade of the departed
poet The terrified old nanny, it is said,
regularly seeks to,propitiate il by gifts Of
oranges grown under Mrs. Stoves especial
supervision, but the noble ghost as regu-
larly spurns the bribe, and, nightly revisit
ing the pale glimpses of the Florida moon,
performs such antics as have nearly driven
the afnghted negress out of her senses
But the strangest part of all this is that it
does not extend its attentions to Mrs.
Stowe herself. The suggestion, however, is
offered that it is probably only rehearsing
the detached parts of startling drama be-
fore the maid, which it soon intends to en-
act as perfect whole before the mistress. j

west,yirginia Journal.

The editor OF the West Virginia
Journal, published in Charleston, under
the eye Of the United States Marshal,
makes very silly attack upon this
paper and displays his ignorance by
asserting that Judge BOND is the judi.
cial superior of Judge JACKSON in this
District, and that appeals from the
decisions of the latter may be taken be-
fore the former for review. The United
States Marshal has certainly picked up
enough information about the powers
of the District Court of West Virginia
during the term of his service, to know
that this is a District Court with Cir,
cult Court powers, and that only in
Admiralty cases has the Circuit Court
any exclusive jurisdiction here Know
ing this, he should inform the editor
of the Journal and thus save him from
further humiliating displays. 1t may
also save the Journal from further mis-,
leading the Boards Of Registration in
his neighborhood as to the treatment
they may expect under the enforcement
act, should they strike from the list the
name any man who is legally quail
fed voter.

Faulkner and stanton.

A correspondent of the Doddridgt
county Herald writes to that paper from
Martinsburg in reference to the Nc
ELwEE case, as follow:
L was present at the trial before
Judge Bond, before alluded to, and
heard the argument both of Stanton"
tor the release OF the Registrar and OF
Hon. c. j. Faulkner, in support OF the
law, holding the Registrars responsible
for their acts toward citizens of the
State. The argument of Mr.. Faulk:
ner was most thorough and convincing,
and had it been produced before any
Judge not prejudiced or partizan, which
| am satisfied the Hon. Judge sitting
was, could not have been in vain.
The array OF facts and state
ments made by members Of the
United States Senate and House
Of Representatives as shown BY the
counsel as to the bearing Of the
law, and that it was not and cannot
justly be construed to apply to colored
men alone, was thoroughly convincing
to every listener, and then when the
counsel for the Registrar made an effort
to reply every one who knew him felt
that he was himself convinced Of the
business and truthfulness of the claims
as made by Mr.. Faulkner. by his great
lack or words to reply thereto, Mr..
Stanton 10 a good talker, rs all know
