u There is one thing that no fami-
ly pretends to do without. That is a
hammer. And yet there is nothing
that goes to make up the equipment of
a domestic establishment that causes
one-half as much agony and profanity
as hammer. 1t is always an old
hammer, with a handle that is inclined
to silver, and always bound, to slip.
The face is as round as the full moon
and as smooth as glass. When it
strikes nail full and square, which it
has been known to do, the act will be
found to result from Il combination of
pure accidents. The family hammer is
one of those rare articles we never pro-
fit by. When it glides off q nail-head,
and mashes down a couple of fingers,
we unlesitatingly deposit it in the
yard, and observe that we will never
use it again. But the blood has hardly
dried on the rag before we are out
doors in search of that hammer and
ready to make another trial. The re-
suit rarely varies, but we never profit
by it. The awful weapon goes on
knocking off our nails, and MASKING
whole joints, and slipping off the han
die to the confusion of mantel orna-
ments, and cutting up an assortment of
astounding and unfortunate antics
without let or hinderance. And yet we
put up with it, and put the handle on
again, and lay it away where it won't
get lost, and do up our mutilated and
smarting fingers, and yet if the outra-
geous thing should happen to get lost
we kick up a regular halaba'oo until it
is found again. Talk about the tyran-
izing influence Of bad habit 1t is
not to be compared to the family ham
mer.- Exchange.

running near by, is noted for its fine
fishing. ivrc2 ts
The waters of the CASTOR SULPHUR
SPRINGS are known to have great etlica-
cy in correcting arrangements of the di-
gestive organs. In all cases Of general de-
hility, its Alternative and tonic effects are
marked, prompt and satisfactory. The
most obstinate cataneous diseases unfail-
ingly yield to its influence if properly
used. Chronic rheumatism, neural gia and
old ulcers may be promptly mitigated and
often radically cured by iudicious use of
these waters: '0H a
The Springs are situated about IS miles

Republican had voted, he would have
had % legal majority of votes in the
State. The canvassing board which
made this return was called into exis-
tence upon general principles" and
had no more legal power to determine
the election of anybody than as many
citizens of Mississippi would have had.
So far as the popular vote is concerned
it is as baseless a fabric as was ever
constructed, and would tumble down
like card castle but for the propping
it receives from Federal bayonets. In
cur political history there has been no
greater outrage upon the rights of a
free people, and this St. NIartinsville
proceeding deepens the impression
made by previous developments that
Kellogg and the whole Custom House
clique are determined to hold the DO
litical power of Louisiana at all haz-
ards, and with perfect understanding
at Washington that they are to have
the protection of the Administration in
all measures they may think essential
to that achievement.
This rough riding over the people of
Louisiana, without respect to their ex-
pressed will, and in defiance of all
facts, concerns the people of the Uni
ted States more nearly than they may
now think. It is bad precedent to
begin with, and one that minority
party in State, if in political harmo-
ny with the Federal Administration
may follow for the accomplishment of
their own selfish ends. 1t makes asad
farce of local se]f-government, and de-
feats the purposes for which such gov
ernments are instituted. If State adj
ministrations. are to be set up or taken
down at the dictation of the President,
through the agency of partisan Judges
sof the Inferior Federal courts, backed
by bayonet power, it would be the de-
cent thing to do away at once with all
pretensioDs of State government, and
draw upon Washington for our supply
of local officials. If, on the other hand,
! it is thought desirable to maintain the
complex system under which we labor
and are heavy laden, leaving each sys-
tenn free to act within its legitimate
sphere, then public sentiment should
so manifest itself that even a Presi-
dent, ignorant or Indifferent as to the
boundary lines between them, will be
careful how he crosses them to sustain,
in illegitimate ways, the action of his
servile partisan creatures Cincinna.

IFron Inc ocntlncl OF Dec- lV.l
Yesterday developed but few addi-
tional particulars relative to the late
cutting scrape at the Eureka Hotel.
or course there were many versions OF
the affair floating about the streets,
but rs most Of them were perhaps
erroneous we do not care to mako any
O fthem public. We visited Mr.. Manlcy
In Jail ; asked him II he desired = state
ment Of the affair made public. He
replied that as the examination would
probably come of very soon he would
prefer that we defer details until We
could get the testimony Of the Wit
ncsses In full. Leaving the jail We
wenta across to the Eureka Hotel to see
Mr.. Ellyson, who received the prlncl-
pal injuries In the affrsy. On reach
ing the head Of the stairs. however,
we were informed that the physl.
clans had given strict orders to admit
TO one to his room. From this we
inferred that he was In a rather pre-
carious condition, and In fact learned
at q late hour last night that serious
doubts we're entertained concerning
his recovery. He was reported as be-
Ing barely able to speak In . whisper,
which WAS scarcely audible at a dis
lance Of a few feet. The wound, It 10
said, penetrated one Of his lungs. We
were yesterday shown the knife with
which the wounds were inflicted. 1t
is what IL commonly called butchers
skinniug knife-an ordinary butcher
knife, ground down to pretty much
the shape OF n shoemaker's knife
withal a very dangerous looking weap-
on. We have heard nc time NELL
toned for the examination. IL will
probably not take place. however, I'M
I'll the exact status Of Mr.. Ellyson's
case shall have been determined.

CAPTURE or WoLy.-On Monday
last, Mr.. Peter Burkhart. trustee Of
Madison township, in company with
some sixty-eight other neighbors, gave
chase and captured grey wolfthat had
for some time been proving in that
neighborhOod. killing sheep. pigs fur
keys. chickens, etc. 1t was Of the female
gender. aud measured four feet three
inches in length, aud two feet in height.
They had some ten hounds i'll pursuit
and chased it about two hours before
they succeeded in its capture. Some
unthoughted horseman rode over the
lead hound or perhaps the chase would
have ended sooner. As the dog was so
injured that he WAS Of no further use.
This is the first wolf that has been seen
in this locality for number Of years.
and as it il a curiosity Mr.. 8urkhart
had Mr.. Louis Hisgen to stuff the skin,
and it may now be seen at the residence
of Mr.. b. in Madison township.
