Coop SOUND ADvIcE.-NeFer throw a stone at any one until you have looked he hind to see whether there is window be- hind, or you may have to pay rather dearly for your revenge. Never fix your own price, bntleaye it "entirely to the liberality" of the gentleman, as the chances are you will get great deal more by it. Never sit next Q young lady at dinner, for she only talks, and does not care about eating. Never quar- rel with your wife, as you will only have to make it up, and pay for the reconciliation in the shape of trip to the springs, n silk dress or cashmere shawl. Never pay to see bal loon go up, as you can see it much better by remaining outside.

TIE CHAIR or PETER.-St. Peters chair is a yellow chair, formed of four uprlghts united by horizontal bars, two being higher than the others to form the back. The four legs were evidently one square, but they are much eaten away by age, and have also had pieces cut from them. These time-worp DOT tious have been strengthened and rendered more ornamental by pieces of dark acacia wood. which form the whole interior part of the chair, and which appear to hardly have suffered at all from the same cause which have so altered the appearance Of the legs. The panels and the front and sides, and the row of arches and the tympanum above them, which form the back, are also composed of the same wood. But the most remarka- ble circumstance about these two different kinds of material is that all the ivory orna ments which cover the front and back of the chair are attached to the acacia portions alone and never to the parts composed oi oak Some of the enumeration IS attrib- uted to the age of Charlemagne, and some, such as the labor of Hercules in the ivory panels, are more ancient The oak wood IS deemed likely to be as old as tradition stated it to be. It is known that Damascus placed it in the baptistry of the Vatican. and consid- cred probable that up to that period it may have been kept in the crypt of St. Peters tomb or in the baslica of Constantinople. It was moved from chapel to chapel of the Vatican before the days of Alexander VII, who enclosed it in bronze.

"GRAcE GREENWOOD" in recent letter from Washington, says "While on visit to the Land Office, was shown by Mir. Will son, the Commissioner singular relic of a late fight on the Plains. It was q garment taken from an Indian chief, after death. A shirt of buckskin, made without the usual ornamentation of beads and porcupine quins, yet graced with something quite novel in the decorative way--a full, long fringe, formed of the hair of white women and children. It was ghastly ornament; indeed, the entire garment was a very unpleasant thing Co in- speet. The only point in it on which the eye could rest without horror or pity, was a small. round hole, beneath which the raging heart of human wild beast came one day to full stop.

One Hundred Thousand Dollar
Chancery Case.

In the United States Circuit Court.
Judge Miller presiding, the case of G. H.
Mccormick and Leander J. Nc Cormick of
Chicago, against John Strachan of Mineral
Point, in equity, came up yesterday on
motion of compliments for an injunction
against defendant and appointment Of recei
yer; and the same having been argued by
Tinches, Lynde and Miller for complain
ants, and Messers. Palmer, Hooker and
Pitkin for defendant-the Court thereupon
allowed the injunction and also appointed
Friedrich G. Smyth, of Madison, receiver.
This is very important case, involving
nearly 100000 in amount, and grows out
os transactions while defendant was act
ing as the agent of compliments in the
sale of their harvesting machines during
the years 1867, 1865 and 1859. The order
appointing the receiver requires the de-
PENDANT Strachan forthwith to turn over
all notes, accounts, machines and other
property in his hands, belonging to thu
compliments, to the said receiver Smyth
and the injunction allowed restraints thu
defendant Strachan from intermeddlnl
with any of the property in any way OF
manner. Thus all who are owing for tn,
machines sold by Strachan must max
payment to the receiver, Smy th-Mil,oau
kee Sentinel.

has been troubled with rheumatism for a
number of years, at times being SO bad,
that he could hardly attend to his work.
Having heard of the good effects of Turk
ish Bath, he went to Milwaukee, and has
been patient, at the Milwaukee Thermo
Therapea for about week, has taken the
bath, undergone their treatment, and re-
turns feeling twenty years younger. He
speaks very highly of the treatment, and
appears to be thoroughly converted to the
water cure system, and particularly strong
in his belief, in the benefits of the Turk

Attempted Robbery.

We learn from Mr.. John Vingoe, that
on Sunday morning last, about two o'clock
Mrs. James Long. who lives with her fam
lily at Survey, in this town, her husband
being at Lake Superior, was awakened
by what sounded like some person IN the
next room, which is shanty or cook
house. She tried to persuade herself that
it might be the cat but she listened anc
presently heard some ore take hold OF and
move the knob of the door, which opened
to her bedroom She partly raised up IN
bed, and waited with breathless SUSPENSE
but she lad not long to wait, for the door
opened, and in the doorway stood man.
She, IN her fright, jumped from the bed,
and demanded, "What do you want here?"
With this the man hurriedy withdrew,
when Mrs. L. Immediately closed the door.
She looked from the window and saw him
pass, get over the fence, and start across
the field. As soon as he was out of sight
Mrs. L. alarmed the neighbors. but search
being made, nothing of him could be found.
As it was known b, some, that on Satur-
day Mrs. L. went to Mineral Point to cash,
check she had lately received from her
husband, it is generally believed that the
scamp was after the money. The fact that
several boxes which stood in the kitchen
were over-hauled, and their contents scat
tered around, goes to corroborate that be-
lief. The scoundrel is still at large, but If
suspicious are rightly founded, he may yet
receive his deserts.
