it nOminates some other persons man

Origin of the Word Salary.

Splitting salt was held to be an un-
lucky omen by the Romans, and the
superstition has descended to our
selves. Leonardo da Ninci availed
himself of the tradition in his famous
picture of the Lords Supper" " to in
dicate Judas IscariOt by the salt-eellar
knocked over accidentally by his
arm.
Salt was used in sacrifice by the
Greeks and Romans, and also by the
Jews, and is still made use of in bap-
tism by the Roman Catholic clergy.
1t was an emblem of purity, and of
the santifying influence on others of a
holy life; hence our Lord tells his dis
ciples, aye are the Salt Of the earth"
The salt being split after it was
placed on the head of the V ictim was
considered a bad omen, being sup
posed to signify that the sacrifice was
not accepted; and hence the supersti-
fiOn.
When we say Of a shiftless fellow
that he does not learn his salt" we
uncOnsciOusIy allude TO an ancient
custom among the Romans. Among
them a man was said to be in possess
sion Of salary" who had his "sala-
rium"-his allowance of salt money,
or of salt wherewith to SAVIOR the food
by which he lived. Thus salary comes
from salt; and, in this view OF the
word, how many are there who do
not "earn their salt"

Says an exchange: "An insurance
agent down South is about TO employ
a number Of handsome young ladies
TO canvass for the company he repre-
sents. These fair solicitors will not
approach the sterneT sex at all upon
the subject, but will confine them
selves strictly to working on the fears
of their own sex who may be married
or dependent. It is thought that they
will so fiji the mind Of the wife of
your bosom about the necessity of
yOur having your life insured, that
YOU will never be allowed to have
peace around the domestic hearth un-
Ill you are fully insured for a good
round sum for the benefit of your fu-
ture widOW-and whoever she may
eject 20 succeed you" Handsome
young ladies, if we are any Judge of
their power, will have far more infiu-
ence over the men than they will over
the wives Of their bOsoms-the staid
matrOns who were once young and
handsome themselves, and understand
well the wiles of their sex. We opine
twill be found a grave mistake if
these lady insurance agents cOutine
their Influence to the married OF their
sex. Better operate upon the men, as
but few OF them can resist appeals
made by the young and handsome OF
the opposite sex. We do not charge
the Insurance company which has
adopted this novel mode of canvass
ing anything for our advice.

TEXAS LEGIsLATURE.-The same yillainy
practiced in Georgia by the Radicals Is being
repeated in Texas Late dispatches state that
the President OF the State Senate has been de.
clared ineligible by General Reynolds, and un-
seated; also, that Messrs. Plate and Elan,
Conservative members from the Third and
Thirteenth Districts, have been nnseated and
Radicals put in their places. From this it
would appear that Reynolds has been carrying
matters with higher hand in Texas than
Terry did in Georgia. Terry had Military
Committee on Elections, but Reynolds it ap-
pears dispenses with even that assistance and
decides who shall and who shall not take seats
az members of the Legislature. Such are the
means used by the Radicals to elect United
States Senators from the Southern States and
ratify the Fifteenth Amendment Whenever
the Democrats or Conservatives have q major
ity in tho Legislature of Southern State, the
military commanders kick out dozen or go
and fill their places with Radicals This lis the

CREDIT OF THE OLp BAY STATE BELOW
PAR.-We observe. from an article in the Sacra.
men:o Uaioa of February 18th, which is taken
from letter Of the Boston correspondent OF
the New York Nation that the credit of the
State of Massachusetts, is rather on the down
grade. II seems that the State has generally
raised loans through few bankers who had
confidence in the financial condition of affairs
in the State which contains the Hub, but last
year it was found necessary to send an agent
to Europe to negotiate loan, and to their as.
constituent the credit Of the old Bay State was
in rather shaky condition abroad The bank
ers stated to the agent, 1.-The difficulty with
your State is that we never know where she is
going to be six months hence" and the writer
accounts for the want Of confidence shown in
the State bonds by referring to the heavy ex
pense incurred in excavating the Hoosac tun.
mel and to the loans of the State advanced to
the Boston, Hartford aud Erie railroad It
doesn't matter a great deal as to what is the
reason Of the great expense incurred on the
tunnel or on the railroad, or whether the State
has loaned her bonds to the injury of her cred
it or not, the fact that the credit OF the State
Of Massachusetts, is at low ebb does not speak
well for the legislation Of the Radicals of that
State, which offers herself as a standard of per-
lection to be patterned after by oil her less en-
lightened sisters. If the credit Of a Demo-
cratic State or Territory should become i'm
paired, the Radical papers at once turn their
guns loose on the Legislature, but when that
OF Radical State like Massachusetts, is below
par, and her financial agents have to go to Eu-
rope to effect loan, and even fail in their mis-
sion there, we hear but little if anything said of
the corruption of the Legislature of that State, |
or the Encouragement of financial affairs by
the enlightened and progressive loyalists of the
Goldfish province.

DEMOCRATIC SUPPORT OF RADICAL Off.

DEMOCRATIC SUPPORT OF RADICAL OFFI
clALs.-In the Boise Statesnaa of Feb. l9tt
appears an article referring to Judge Kelly al
having gone to Owyhee to get few Republic
cans to bolster up old Noggle's character, and
failing to induce them to do 90 he has been
endeavoring to "marshal some Democratic
forces" We think his endeavors will fail, and
he will find he is on "bootless errand" in en-.
deavoring to secure Democratic support of the
imbecie old ignoramus. Our contemporary
suggests that Kelly and Noggle both go over
to the arms of the Democracy ut once, openly
and above board" That is easier said than
done. The Democracy would have something
to say about that, and we know that such ma
terial properly belongs to the Radical party.
Ben. Butler aud that class of men generally
get kicked out of the Democratic ranks, and
are welcomed with open arms by those of the
Radical faith, within whose fold they properly
belong. 1t would be difficult matter to con-
vince us that any Democrat is supporter of
Noggle, Moulton & Co. We should have but
little faith in the democracy of any man who
would assist in bolstering up the character or
official integrity of any such class of carpet.
bag interlopers, whose malice is equalled only
by their duplicity and ignorance We have no
doubt but that some disreputable characters
are volunteering their treighty afhdavts in be-
half of the '"learned and distinguished Chief
Justice" aud that they claim to be Democrats,
but their democracy is about on par with
Ben. Buffers honesty. Evil disposed persons
often "clothe themselves in the livery Of Heav-
en- to serve the devil in" aud we do not doubt
but that some few scoundrels, under the garb
Of Democracy, are upholding Messrs. Noggle
& Co, but that they are Democrats is mat
ter which is incapable of proof, and no amount
Of demagogical assertions or references to "past
record 81" can induce Democrats to place any
confidence in the honesty or democracy of such
n collection OF false witnesses" Ben. Butler
might refer to his record. notwithstanding he
repudiates any analogy between his course and
that of Saul of Tarsus, or of Peter denying
bis master. and yet Ben the bottled Beast,
might, with as much truth, be- termed Demo
crat as would those selfconstituted champions
of corrupt judiciary, hired witnesses for
Noggle e. Co.

aldnche has fallen into an error as to the effect
of the recent decision of the Supreme Court
OF the United States. The Court has not de.
cided that the Legal Tender Act ia Constitu.
tional, but has only decided that contracts made
prior to the passage Of the Act could not be
discharged in greenbacks. The Chief Justice
was very guarded in the expressions and Ian.
guage used in the decision, and does not touch
upon the question as to the Constitutionallty
of the Act in regard to debts contracted after
the passage Of the bill. Therefore the question
has not been finally and 'irreyocably eettled yet.
