A Boston lady complains that sweet
tempered dyspectics, little too spiritual
for this world, and little too material
for the next, and who, therefore, seem
always lowering between the two, are
the accepted type OF female Ioveliness
with men. But at length she exclaims
triumphantly that beautiful women,
whatever may be said, never 6nd warmer
admiration nor more Teyerent homage
than that rendered to them in secret bS
their own sex.

A Decision OF lnterest 10 the Soldier
A late decision, pronounced in the
Supreme Court, in the case of the United
States Us. Hosmef, by Justice SwAYNE,
Is one of more than ordinary interest to
large class of persons who are the last
to find out thrir own rights, and too
often the first to be imposed upon by
their agents or attorneys. The Supreme
Court, after considerable delay, now
decides s1uarely that soldiers who en-
listed in 1861, for three years or the
war, and were discharged on surgeons
certificates of disability within two
years, are entitled to their one hundred
dollars bounty, equally with those who
were discharged for wounds, or the heirs
of those killed. This decision, too, ID
final, and ends the matter. The case
arose on an appealfrom the Illinois Court
of Claims. Ajudgment was given by that
court for the claimant for 800 bounts
lOE Cuil5tmoub uuucI buo lOSiuChU S"A'
for volunteers in 1861, be having been
discharged for disability upon a sur
geon's certificate. The question was
whether, under the act of Congress rati-
flying the act Of the Executive, the
claimant could recover, the act pro-
viding that two years service should
have bsen rendered to entitle the col
der to the bounty, unless discharged
tor wounds. Mr.. Justice SwAYNE deliv'
cred the opinion of the court, holding
substantially that the proclamation Of
the President and the general orders pt
the War Department STIMULATING to pay
S10O for each volunteer, followed by the
enlistment of the claimant, constituted
a valid contract between the Govern
ment and the claimant, upon which he
was entitled to the bounty, affirming
the Judgment Of the court below.

There has been a good deal of joking
at the expense of Senator Sumner and
General Butler, over the bearing of the
following clause in the Texas bill, in
troduced by the latter: "Prorided fur

any manner the conditiops and guaran-
tees upon which the Stateof Texas was
annexed and admitted as State"
Yesterday this came up in the Senate,
and Mr. Sumner was SO anxious to have
the bill passed that he suggested action
without formal refeIenee.to committee.

THE presence of a negro in the Senate

The presence of a negro in the Senate
seems to produce on some journalists
the same eject that catnip does en- the
animal it is gamed from. They grovel
and roll over, and crouch, and crawl,
and flv IL at the feet of REvELs. By
every act of self-abasement they strive
to demonstrate the ecstatic delight that

Z .- CALL UPON TuK PRESIDENT. r,r-.
The Republican members of the Ways
and Means committee called upon the
President yesterday, Secretary Boutwell,
being cf alfe party. Tho subjects of
funding bill and reduCti01 IOf taxation
were discussed for some time The
President strongly favored both meas
ures. He looked upon the Funding bill
as calculated to make the reduction OF
taxation easier. The bill will probably
be reported by the committee az an early
day, with some amendments, and the
notifications of the tax bill, now nearly
ready to be reported, will show some
reduction. The Banking and Currency
committee have agreed TO prepare
amendments to that portion of the Fund
ing bill relating to National Banks, and
pserent them in the House whenever
the Ways and Means report.
THE CENSUS.
General Walker, Superintendent of
the Census, is driving the preparatory
work with dispatch. New plates for all
blanks are being gelectrotyped. Amend
ments to the old bill will be proposed,
repeating the clause making it necessary
to file a third copy of all returns in
each county at the county seat, thus
saving one third the expense Of print
ing, and, at the same time securing
greater ptiyacy for the affairs of all in
dividuals. A circular will be issued in
o few days giving such information as
will enable the people TO avoid being
imposed upon by persons who may at
tempt to act without authority, and
make unauthorized questions. Under
the old bill additional compensation
was allowed in California and other
western sections. The same authority
is now wanted for most of the States
and Territories west of Missouri, except
Kansas, Nebraska and California.

The Early Life Of the POpe.

dreadfully afflicted by his ministers

was engaged to be married 70 a Miss
Foster, the daughter Of an Irish Bish-
Op, and the sister OF the Countess de
Sails, famous at that period IN Italian
society; and that the young lady and
her friends waited at the altar OF the
Church Of St Luigi de Frances near
the present POst-Office) for Count Mas
tal-FeTetti to appear and complete
his marriage vows, and that they
waited and waited IL vain, because
the young Count never came. Nor j.

even to her, before her death, was that
his Jesuit relations had fOTcibly abb

4 Rich PTiZe.

Some months since we published a
statement to the effect that Miss
Gray, a milliner of Fort Edward, had
become the fortunate heir to S19,000,- =
0eO, which her lover, a young Eng
lishman, had willed to her upon his
dying bed. The main fact in the case
the heirship-is true; but we now
learn that it was not to the lover, but
to his father, that Miss Gray is indebt-
ed for her extraordinary good fortune.
1t seems that the lover, on his return
TO England, like too many others,
proved incOnstant, and married an
other lady against his fathers will.
Whether it was remOrse at his faith
lesSess, or from other cause, certain
it is that the young man died in about
a year after his marriage, and left all
his property to his father. The old
gentleman was without heirs, and not
having become reconciled to his
daughter-in-law, upon his death left
One-half his fortune to the Govern
ment cf England, and the remaining
half, $4,000, 600, to Miss Gray, the
Fort Edward milliner. The sum was
so large that many people We're dis
posed to doubt its truth when il first
in print; but Miss Gray has
already received the first instaIlment
Of her fortune, trifie of 5000, 900, |
from the British Consul in New York.
On Tuesday last she received a dis
patch from the consul, announcing
that the money awaited her order, /
and on the following day she left Fort |
for New York, where it was
laid over to her. Lucky girl.-Troy

Do Not Sell Lean Cattle.

We commend the following to our
readers, as a matter of great import
ance. 1t is from american Farmer:
Farmers sell too many oftheir beef
eattle when they are in merely ordi-
nary beef condition. In doing this
there is a twO-fold loss that but a few
persons consider. The animal Yields
less numberOf po unds, and the meat
brings a lower price. Between Ordi-
nary beef and really fat beef, there is
always a difference of two or three
cents per pound, and this difference,
when added to the whole number of
pounds when the animal is in the best
condition, will be found to be nomean
amount. Nothing pays better than
the few bushels of grain that puts the
finishing touch upon what generally
is denOminated a good beef anirnaiI
Those of our readers who have follow
ed this often repeated advice in our
live stock market reports, are wit
neSses to its sOundnesS. Do not be in
a hurry to market, under ordinary
circumstances, until cattle are really
fat. The same applies TO all other
market animals.
