peared before a magistrate on Thursday
last, to answer the charges of having
caused a gross libel to be published in
his paper, on the character ofMr. George
Wilkes, editor and proprietor Of the
Spirit of the Times. He plead not guilty
and gave bail The following is the part
of the article in the 7'urf, Field q Farm
on which the libel is based:
Unlike the famous author of polished
epigrams, the second Sampson is an ed
itor, and not popular orator. He open
ed his infant eyes upon this earth-heav-

to manhood, loving Gov. Seward much,
because he refused to pardon youthful
indiscretion. For while he made his
home on the Pacific, teaching the adven-
turous men that golden land the value of
law and order, winning immortality as
the friend and heir Of the murdered Rod
erick, and then returned to New York
with the spoils Of friendship to establish
a sporting paper, gaining fresh laurels by
driving the genial VIM. T. Porter, a ruin

Radical Morals at Washington.

The New York World is telling some
terrible stories ofthe wickedness at Washss
ington, IN which the professional women
Of the lobby and their friends in Congress
figure. Columns OF details are given, but
the following will suffice to show what a
loathsome picture the writer has been
painting:
Among the lobby women in Washing
ton last winter was the daughter of a pres
ent United States Senator, whose father
years ago refused to let her marry the
man of her choice. She eloped with him !;
he deceived her by mock marriage, he
having two other wives, so called, living {;
he took all her jewels, and even most of
her clothing, and abandoned her. She
went to the bad hcadlong, refused all
overtnres to return home, and the father
and daughter used to pass one another in
the capitol a year ago-she wanton and
he Senator-and never speak, Nor did
either ever betray the event to any one.
He called her dead; she consented to be
dead even to- him.
Another Senator's wife, who is an in
valid, cannot be unaware, tor no one else
is, that her husband has stocked no less
than six Of his mistresses on the civil
service as clerks, and that he adds to the
number every session.
Another Senator Southwest carpet
bagger fosted his mistress on the Treasu-
ry Department last year, and was infuen-
tial enough to have her salary continued
while he sent her on to New York, to un-
dergo an abortion. She died. The Sena-
tor himself drew the arrears of pay Os

woman, who has yet to see the first cent

unless his friends should decide that a
brief term in a lunatic asylum is the best

He is said to be restless; undoubtedly he

his baffied designs, it is impossible to

Yankee frlek.

One of our peculiar, slab-sided, ,gaunt
Yankees, lately emigTated and settled
down in the West. He was the pic
ture of a mean mau, but as he put
himself to work in good earnest to
get his house to rights, the neighbOrs
lent him hand. After he got every
thing fixed to his notion, a thought
struck him-that he had no chickens,
and he was powerfully fond of suck
ing raw eggs. He was too honest TO
steal them, and too mean TO buy them.
At last a Thought struck him-he
could borrow. He went to a neighbOr
and thus accOsted him:
"Waal, l reckon you hain'J got no
old hen nor nOthin' you'd lend me for
a few weeks, have you neighbour
II will lend you one with pleasure, I"
replied the gentleman, picking out
the very finest in the coop.
The Yankee took the hen home,
and then went to another neighbor
and borrowed a dozen eggs. He then
set the hen, and in due course of time
she Matched out a dozen chickens.
The Yankee was again puzzled; he
could return the hen, but how was he
to return the eggs? Another idea
and who ever saw live Yankee with
out one ?-hewOuldkeep the hen until
she hadlaid dozen eggs. q - az
4 This hedid and then returned the
helI and eggs to their respective own
ers, remarking a. he did So:
''Waal, reckon pve got as fine a
dozen Of chickens as you ever laid
your eyes on, and they didn't cost me
a cent nuther."

Life has for an observer such q
quick succession of amusing adven-
lures, that it is almost incOnceivable
that he should ever feel dull or weary
of it. No one day resembles another.
Every hour, every minute opens new
stores to our experience, and new eX-
elements To our curiosity I'VE are
always on the eve or morrow of some
surprising event. Like the moth, we
are forever flying towards the star,
bur with this difference, that we at
tain it; and if we find the halo we
fancied a glory but some deceiving
mist, at least we have learned a lesson.
If we look upon life merely as hum
bic students, we shall not feel any
great bitterness at such disappoint-
ments. Is is only when we hug our
ignorance to our hearts, when we are
and deserve to be miserable, when we
hug the cloud, that we lose the good
ness. But if we open the eyes of the
mind, and determine to be neither
wantOnly stupid nor inattentive, an
enchanted world begins to rise from
clhaoS; Fhe aspect Of the room in
winch NeJSt,kgrOws lively with q
thousand unsuspected curiOsities. We
discern that the most ordinary per-
son is invested with some noticeable
characteristic. If we deign to look
out for five pleasant minutes at any
commonplace thing, we become
aware of its peculiar beauty; and
there is not a bird that wings the air,
nor flower that blossoms in the gar
den, nor an insect that crawIs in the
depth of the earth, nor a fish that
swims in the water, but has its own
sing1aarsnd deliglrthIl story. If01se-
hold Words.

Lightning struck a wine cellar in
France, last fall, and converted a
large quantity of bad wine into excel
lent brandy. This providential appli-
cation of the vOltaic pile with such pro-
fitable and remarkable effect, has led to
the artificial use of magnetic currents
in the manufacture Of brandy. Elec-
tricity, applied to a cask of bad Mo-
selIe, entirely changed its character;
and experiments with other wines, at
least so DIR. Scoutetten assures US, had
a similar result. The doctor explains,
for the benefit ofpersOns anxious to try
the operation, that the wires of the
voltaic pile should be tipped with pla-
tinum, TO which must be attached
electrodes of same metal. Dip both
into the liquid, and you will precipi-
tate it, and produce premature age.
