The inhabitants of the Basket Station, or

were treated to a first-class sensation. About
two miles north Of the place, three acres of
land, heavily timbered with hemlonk, occu-
plying an elevated position suddenly sank be-
low the surface, disappearing in a manner
similar TO load of dirt when the bottom is
let out of the wagon. There was no appar-
ent cause, but it certainly has sunk to the
depth of about forty feet. leaving the tops Of
the trees just visible above the scrfsce. The
sinking was accompanied by loud crash.
which died away in a dull rumble, heard at
considerable distance. The trees are stand
ing in their natural positions, having evident

cur, for the sunkeu earth to be Immediately
submurged by volumes of wat,r, but in this

soil is of clayey nature, and the sides of the
chasm formed by the sinking presents a smooth

He held pewter quart pot arms length and
squeezed the sides together like an eggshell
He lifted two hundred pounds with his lit-
tie finger and waved it gently around his

sents the tariff ideas Of New England ard

ence In the domestic affairs of the States. will
be the leader Of the regular Republican mr.
"; and another person who represents moral
opposition to all these bigoted measures. and
demands free trade the abrogation of person-
| nj acknowledgements and the freedom os the
States from administrative coercion, will lead
the united Democracy and the iusurgeut Re-
puh'icanS under the same banner. Whether
that person shall be Democrat or an insur-
gent Republican is question whose decision
at the proper time will in no wise impair the
unity and cordiality of the combination. The
Democracy of Missouri, are as completely sat-
lsfed with the triumph Of B. Gratz Brown as
If he were an avowed Democrat, and it is Ger
tain that the insurgent Republicans of 1872
VIII have quite as good reason to be satisfied
with a Democratic leader under whom 10 fight
the Presidential hattie of that year. Mr..
Browns success has given him no little I'M
portance in connection with the movement in
Missouri, and 1t Is not beyond limit Of proba-
bihues that the Democracy of Missouri may
have something to demand for him in 1872.
hlr. Brown Is no mere revenue reformer,o
he is free trader; and it is a noticeable fact
that the Chicago Tribune in its treatment of
this question, does not limit itself to a "re-
duction of the tariff, or tariff REFORM" but
plants itself boldly on the Democratic princi-
pie of free trade also. In fact, the Tribune
shows that it is ready to unite with Demo-
Gratis on Democratic platforms; it only de-
mands that it and those free-trade Republi-
cans who think and act with it shall not te
made responsible fer, or identified with, the
past errors of the Democratic party on the sla-
very question:" There is no ground for such
an apprehension. Slavery is dead, with all
its incidents, and the Democratic party shows
no disposition anywhere in the country to re-
vive slavery issues, or to unsettle negro SAT-
frage. What it demands now, and what is
will continue to demand till it shall be con-
coded, is free trade, the ahrogation Of oil in
Gividual and class acknowledgements, the res
toration of the disabled States to their right
full co-equality, the right of the States to he
free from Federal interference in their do
nestle affairs, and the independence Of the in-
dietary of Congressional dictation. The reg
ular Republican party will contest all these
demands; that party, with President Grant,
the majority in Congress, and oil who believe
in centralized government, are the authors
of the antitheses of these measures and will,
of necessity, be forced to support them; while
the insurgent Republicans will voluntarily
unite with the democracy against them.-Ms-
souri, Republican.

He's really a wonderful creature,
That troublesome animal--man.
Yes. really wonderful creature.
Inconsist ent and dreadft;liy queer.
But you'll soon know the secret by learning
The nodus operandi, my dear
Ifhe STAYS out too late in the evening,
Partaking Of supper and wine
Don't prove him a base ftbricator,
When he comes, nv asking the time.
For he surely will tell YOU the town clock,
But a moment before rang ont ore
When il struck he had counted il over
just three times; before il had DONE
Aud then If his hat IN the morning,
Is smaller by tar IL an his head,
Don't hint by the merest allnsiop,
That his lordship went tipsy to bed.
But rather regard the occurrence,
A phenomenon ruzzling queer,
With strange leok Of modification
In your eyes. if he's Watching, my dear.
And don't fail TO sew on his buttons.
And mend all his clothing with care.
Don't tease him for money for shopping,
Don't frown when he acts like a bear.
Don't tell him too often. my deary,
That your head is aching with pain.
Lest he whispers way down in his bosom,
''oh, l wish WAS single again."
Don't tell him that Mary. the hoasemaid,
And Ann. the obstreperous cook.
Refuse to receive your suggestions,
With even SO much ms "A look.
Don't tell him how very annoying,
You so often have found il to be.
To be told to ''get out of the kitchen,
And don't come bothefin' of me,'
But always seem cheerful and happy,
Ard always look pleasant and gay,
Than a frown there is nothing more potent
In driving ones husband away.
And thus you must ever keep striving,
You will find il an excellent plan,
But whatever you do. dear, remember,
That your husband is only man.
