M. Volt is demonstrating-bys some ex>
periment-that warm blooded animal, a
bird ut least may live after it's brain has
been removed. He skillfully removes,
with hook and scalpel, the cerebral hemis-
pheres from the skull of pigeon. When
the operation is concluded, the poor bird
hides its head under its wing, and remains
motionless with closed eyes, in this atti-
tude. which it resumes whenever it is
disturbed, in order to receive nourishment
and seems to be overcome with profound
slumber. This condition lasts a few weeks,
after which the victim of the singular
mutilation leaves its somnolent condition,
opens its eyes, and even attempts to fly. 1t
avoids obstacles, shuns the hand that
would seize it, and appears to enjoy in
full force the faculties Of hearing and
seeing.
Thenceforth the pigeons without brains
cannot be distinguished from those with
brains, except by their entire forgetful-
ness of the means of securing nourish-
ment. They would die of hunger in a
heap of grain it is necessary to intro
duce food into their beak and stomach by
the aid of small rod. They COO boldly,
come and go, and seem thereafter to be
strangers to every sentiment of fear
When once they commence walking, they
continue the impetus following the same
path around the same table, ana contihu-
ally taking refuge in the same corner.

FRANKLIN PIERcE.-A few weeks be.
fore his Inauguration, President Pierce
lost his only son. His inaugural address
began with this singularly beautiful and
pathetic sentence:
''My countrymen-It is q relief to feel
that no heart but my owa can know the
personal regret and bitter sorrow over
which have been born to position SO
suitable fer others rather than desirable
for myself"
II would seem that good fortune in one
direction is always purchased dearly by
sorrow in another. Let those who pray
for more worldly prosperity beware lest it
be given them at the expense of something
which millions can never restore.

LOVES LABOR WoN.-A young man Of

work at his trade and having no ready
cash, resorted to the employment Of a
scavenger to raise the wherewith to con-
summate his plans. Ineongruous as the
idea seems he thinks the end justified the
means, as he is now happily married and
has steady and more desirable situation.
There is an exhibition of earnest love and
genuine romance in this action that is
hardly surpassed by the story of Jacob and
Rachel. If young men generally. of the
present day, had more of the same spirit
Of independence and determination they
would be much better off and none the

Butler knew how matters stood. He
didn't care pin for the acquittal or for
what Johnson's friends had done. Grimes
and Fessen6en voted from conscientious
motives. don't believe the President
had any conferences with Senators about
voting, and it would have been contrary
to his nature to have done SO. The Presi-
dent always felt conscientious about his
integrity, and was willing to submit his
record to the test of trial. He never
apprehended the danger he was in, and if
he had, he would have done nothing to
avert it.
Gen. Butler, in the course oe his inter-

johnson gave to Fessenden, Grimes and
Trumbull as to his good behaviour on his
acquittal, ard that on these conditions he
agreed to vote against the impeachment
articles but did not know that they had
advised the use of money to bring about
an actual. l felt satisfied that Henderson
had received money for HE vote, but had
not proof sufficient to bring it home
to him. If done at all, the thing must,
of course, have taken place As secretly as
possible. There is no truth in the story
that had interviews with Wendell about
this business, and I never offered him
money. know nothing about the bet of
fifty thousand dollars, though heard Of

To Cure and Smoke Bacon.

AT this season of the year, all our far.
mers are preparing to salt their hams and
bacon, so we propose to give them a re-
cipe whereby sailing and smoking can be
done in one simple and short process.
Many of our housewives are forced to de-
pend upon their neighbors for convenien-
ces to smoke with. Those of us who own
smoke houses know how difficult it is to
smoke just right. By this process all
trouble is avoided. Take a large-sized
butter firkin, cask, or barrel, according to
the quantity of meat you desire to smoke.
Place it over fire of corncobs with the
corn on. Meat smoked in this way is
higher Favored, the corn seeming to pro-
duce better taste than cobs, or wood, or
green walnuts. Let the tub smoke from
FIVE to six hours. To one hundred pounds
of meat, take eight pousds of salt, two
pounds of coarse brown sugar Tor three
pints of molasses), and two ounces of salt
petre. Rub little fine salt into the bams
"uu ohooiueis, tieH put tut meat lntO Tie
smoked tub, cover it with cold water, turn
in the salt, sugar and saltpetre, cover
closely, and set in cool place where it
will not freeze. If scum rises on the
brine, turn it of, scald and add little
more salt. If desired to keep through the
summer, in the early spring smoke the tub
three hours longer, put back the meat and
turn on the brine when cold.
In month after picking, the hams will
be ready for use. They can be kept in the
brine all summer, and if ham is cut, re-
turn it to the tub for future use.
Beef and tongues can be kept in the
same manner, and there is no danger from
insects. In six or seven weeks the beef is
picked and smoked enough to dry. This
is the surest and most expeditions way Of
sailing and smoking pork and beef, and if
once tried will always be adopted.-Hearth

Approved, February 2l, 1870.


 The N !. Herald accounts for the late fall in the price of gold in the following spicy manner:
 ''The immediate precipitating cause in this instance is the rema rkabe exhibit of the Blu reau of Statistics at Washington, showing that during the first half of the present fiscal year our exports have been within two million dollars of our imports. leaving the inference that as we have shipped many millions of goVernment bonds and railway securities to foreign countries the balance of trade is in our favor and Europe largely our debtor. Ever since the war our imports greatly exceeded our exports, and the balance has been made up by shipping specie and American securities. It turns out, how ever, that we have been producing so indus- taiously in the interim of peace that, despite our extravagant importations, we are able to pay our foreign debt in kind. Hence the Eu> ropean demand for our fve-twenties and rail- way securities is placing us on the creditor side of the account and giving us an importation of foreign capital which only goes to still further develop our resources and enable us one
 these days to extinguish the national debt all l together
