TIE PENALTY FOR SELLING PROPERTY on
WHICH LIENS ARE GIvEN-It is perhaps not
generally known, says the Darlington Sotth-
erner, that persons may not sell any real or
personal property on which liens are given,
without being guilty of a misdemeanor in the
eye of the law, unless due notice has been first
given to the purchaser or purchasers OF such
property that there is lien upon it. The
practice of giving liens on crops to one party
and then selling to another is so common that
we append the Acts bearing on the subject, so
that none of our readers may be in the dark
BE it enacted, &C., "That from and after the
passage of this Act any person or persons who
shall wilfully and knowingly sell and convey
any real and personal property on which any
lien or liens exist without first giving notice
of such lien or liens to the purchasers OF such
real or personal property, shall be deemed
guilty Of misdemeanor, and on conviction
thereof, shall be imprisoned for term not
less than ten days or more than three years,
and be fined not less than ten dollars nor
more than FIVE thousand dollars, or either or
both at the discretion of the court; Irorided,
That the penalties enumerated in this Act
shall not apply to public officers in the dis
charge of their official duties"

TIE SENSATION OF HANGING.-Rescued
persons have often described the sensa-
ton of drowning but with the exception of
the narrative of Cowper, we have no marked
account of the sensation of Hanging. We copy
the following incident from the Chambers
Journal:
A houscbreakcr named Smith was hanged
at Tyburn, Dec. "a, 17O5, and when he had
hung fifteen minutes, the people shouted "a
reprieve." He was cut down, bled, and re.
covered. When asked what his feelings had
been he replied in substance that when he
was first turned off he was sensible Of great
pain, occasioncd by the weight Of his body,
and felt his spirits in strange commotlon, VIC:
lcntly pressing upward; that, having forced
their way to his head he, as it were, saw a
great blaze of glaring light that seemed to 60
out ofthe eyes with flash, and then he lost all
sense of pain. That after he was cut down
and began to come to himself, the blood for
cling itself into its former channels, put him in
such intolerable pain that he could have
wished those hanged who cut him down.
Ever afterwards he went by the name of Half.
hanged Smith.

CLOSING THE MILLS.

WHAT THE MOVEMENT REALLY MEANS.
Within the last day or two we have received
word from various parts of New Eng land OF a
concerted movement to close the cotton mills
and other manufacturing establishments or to
run them on half time The ostcnsibe reason
. for this action is the scarcity Of currency for
the payment Of wages but it is evident to
us that the real object is not the one so COM
monty avowed. The movement is not spon-
taneous. Some Of those who have readily as
sentcd to it, have done SO only ut the sugges-
ton of Others while many have yielded
against their convictions to the pressure they
are not able to resist. A few large concerns
still hold out in spite of the arguments and
coercve rhetoric Of its originators. The
methods employed to secure the combined ac-
ton of all the mills furnish conclusive proof
that not for selfprotection, or for the personal
convenience of the promoters rs employers,
has this scheme been devised. We do not
say that its advocates are not honest in their
intentions, and do not believe that it will re-
suit in the increase Of the general welfare !;
but we do insist that it is Il measure deliber-
ately undertaken as a means to another end,
and is not one forced upon the manufacturers
by the pressure in the money market, and the
scarcity of currency. One object to be at
tanned is undoubtedly the lessening of produc-
ton and thus the stability Of market prices
for the finished products Of the mills; but that,
we take it, is the least powerful Of several
motives The movement looks first to gen-
eral reduction of wages. 1t is equivalent to
the old lookout theory for compelling the op-
eratives to conccde decline in the rate of
compensation. After a total cessation of
work, or service for half the time, rcstora-
ton to full employment at something below
the high wages now paid would be an easier
and more acceptable process than an arbtra-
ry reduction without such interruption. But
the movers are behind the scenes, and those
who have no special interest in the establish
ments used as their instruments intend, as we
believe, to produce by this action an entire
change in our national financial system. Free
banking is the object Of their effort. The
large borrowers Of capital for the develop
mcnt Of their resources, are clamorous for It,
TO start it at the East by throwing many
thousands out of employment, for the assigned
reason that there is not currency enough to
pay their wages, is certainly a most adroit be-
ginning and likely to produce aprofound i'm
preston upon the country. BY the time that
Congress comes together the pressure will
thus assume the form Of well developed
public opinion, and those who have set the
springs in motion will inaugurate the change
not at their own instance, but in assumed de-
ference to the demands of the whole people,

TIE HABIT or READING.

II have no time to read," is the common
complaint, and especially Of women, whose
occupations are such as to prevent continuous
book perusal. They seem to think because
they cannot devote rs much attention to
books as they are compelled to devote to their
avocatons, that they cannot read anything
But this is great mistake ltsn't the books
we finish at sitting that does the most good.
Those we devour in the odd moments, half Il
dozen pages at time, often give lis more sat
istacton, and are more thoroughly digestcd
than those We make particular effort to read.
The men who have made their mark in the
world have generally been the men who have
in bovhood formed the habit Of reading at
every available moment, whether for five
minutes or five hours.
1t is the habit of reading rather than the
time at our command, that helps us on the
road to learning. Many Of the most culti-
waited persons, whose names have been famous
as students, have given only two or three
hours a day to their books. If we make use
of spare minutes in the midst Of our work,
and read little, if but page or a paragraph,
we will find our brain quickcned and our toll
lghtencd by just so much increased satisfac-
ton rs the book gives US Nothing helps
along the monotonous daily round so much as
fresh and striking thoughts, to be considered
while our hands arc busy. 4 new idea from
IL new volume is like oil which reduces the
friction of life. What we remember from
brief glmpses into books often serves as a
stimulus to action, and becomes one of the
most precious deposits in the treasury of our
recollection. All knowledge is made up Of
small parts, which would seem insignificant
in themselves, but which, taken together, are
valuable weapons for the mind and substan-
tial armor for the soul. "Read anything con-
tinuously," says DIR. johnson, "and you will
be learned" The odd minutes which we are
inclined to waste, if carefully availed Of for
instruction, will, in the long run, make golden
hours and golden days that We shall ever be
thankful for.

SIpERSTITIOJ'S SIGNS.

Thccrash of looking-gla blanches many
check thcmoon new seen through branches
of trees is q sure forc-runner Of ill-uck q dish
cloth dropped on the floor, or the scissors
standing on the extremity of one of its blades
declares approaching visitors; the burning OF
the right car assures one that good Is being
spoken of him, of the left that he is victim
Of slandcr. There is no doubt at all that a
necklace of rattlesnakc bones or the front
DAVIS of mole worn round the neck will pre-
vent all suffering in tecthing children, and
horseshoe over the door will bring good for
tune to the dwelling. Braveis the man, fear
less the woman, who dares start an enterprise
on Friday.
Such is the natural desire Of humanity to
penetrate the future, and to enlarge the vision
of the present that every imag ginary sign OF
such power is eagerly seized in the hope
that it may impart some knowledge hidden
from u.s. One fact is certain: that men and
women of goodsen pay no attention to them
at all. What connection can there possibly
be between broken mirror and sudden
death between Friday and failure, between
rood luck and horseshoe? Yet there are
multitudcs who believe in all these Signs as
firmly as in the laws of the material world.
Of such it may truly be said, ignorance is the
mother of superstition, and the only way OF
removing the superstition, is by diffusing prac-
tical elementary knowledge. All things in
heaven and earth are subject to law as truly
are souls obedient to spiritual laws as unlver-
sal matter to the law ofgravitation, and there
is no nook or corner in all Gods creation for
the sway of blind chance.
So far as signs, premonitions and all similar
phenomena are concerned, wise men are ut
terly skeptical. If one eats too much rich
pie or cake, he will be likely to have torebo'
dngs of evil, which if he does not mend his
ways, will certainly overtake him. If he be-
leves in himself, and in his own good luck,
those who meet him will catch the feeling,
and good luck he will be likely to have; If
on the contrary he believes himself unfortu-
nate, unmercifu disaster will follow fast. st.
Paul sums up the whole question OF signs IN
nutshell when he exhorts Timothy to "rciuse
prof.ne and old wives fables"

Congress meets on Monday next
We earnestly hope and we confidently
believe that the session will be mark.
ed by earnest action industriously and
carefully matured. We could wish
otherwise, but yet we have no doubt
but that the opposition to the Repub.
lican party, inflated by apparent re.
verses to the Republicans, will trim sail
largely, to make political capital. We
look Tor nothing else, Judging as we
have abundant reason for doing, by
the character and past acts of the men
who compose that opposition. The
democratic element of that opposition,
has in no wise been bettered, by the
allies 1t has gathered in.
1t behooves therefore the Republic
cans to work diligently and carefully.
1t should be evident to the minds of
all Republican Congressman, that the
rank and file of the party, have given
them clear demonstration, that they
do not like the back salary bill. Re-
publican constituency only have
spoken decidedly in this matter. Let
heed be given to their voice at once,
faithfully and without reserve, by the
repeal of the law.
Again 1t Is clear to us that in the
few days past, during which an indus
trious attempt has been made to
clamor the nation into war, the Repub-
lican portion of the country, at last,
has said, we want no war, except as q
last resort, when all other means has
been exhausted, consistent with the
honor and dignity of the nation.
Our finances call for the ablest of
counsels, and we believe whatever is
done, should be inaugurated upon the
principle Of doing not enough rather
than too much. Az fast as experience
points out errors in our financial
system, let them be remedied. In
theoretical fnanciering, we have little
faith.
Another very important question
viii be cheap transportation. Senator
Windom's committee has spent much
time In gathering facts to lay before
Congress. We hope this information
will be found beneficial and that IL
may be honestly convassed In the light
OF the very patent fact that the people
OF this country demand and will have
cheaper transportation. We hope our
opponents will not burden the session
OF Congress with investigating com.
but lay them aside for awhile,
in order that some time may be left
for work. Another thing-we do
hope Congress will not have too much
holiday frolicking. Much solid faith.
fal work is expected and we earnestly
hope 1t may be realized.
