II FANCY that when Mr.. Frederick, ar
: Il rived at Mr.. Pendleton's elegant resi-
dence, he created sensation. A curly
black pony, that looked as though he had
lately boarded in potato patch, and had
never known the taste of curry-comb or
card an ancient harness, that showed the
industry, economy and ingenuity Of some
queer old save-penny, and still stood in
need of repair; dilapidated chaise, which
might have served any practicing physi-
clan a quarter of a century; lashless whip
stock and knotted lines. Such was the
establishment which moved slowly up the
magnificent avenue, in full view from the
drawing room windows of the Pendleton
mansion
Very slowly and awkwardly, Frederick
got out of the old chaise. You can i'm
agine Miss Laura's dismay when her visitor
was announced. In company with cou-
pie of friends--a young gentleman and
lady of fashion-she had been laughing at
the righteousness of Frederick's "equip-
age" as she called it, as it moved up the
avenue
The young man entered the parlor with
the most perfect nonchalance in the world ;
neglecting to remove his hat until he had
saluted Miss Pendleton and her friends.
Then he threw himself on an elegant sofa,
in rather careless manner, and declining
to trouble anybody with his hat, placed it
on the floor Without appearing to OBJ
serve the consternation of Miss Pendleton,
or the emotion of her friends, he then Of
fered few observations about the weather
and made bugle of his nose, muffling its
sonorous tones in the folds of a flaming red
handkerchief which he afterwards tossed
into his hat.
Meanwhile the accomplished and aristo.
cratic Miss Laura had enjoyed survey ol
Mr.. Frederick's style of dress. His coat
was of fine material, and graceful cut but
it had evidently come in contact with thu
uncurried hide of the little black pony
twice or thrice too often, for its beauty
His waistcoat was of rich satin; but b!
some care lcssness, the lowest or first but
ton was mated with the second button
hole thus producing q sad disarranGennen
in the tailor's design. The cleanliness o
Frederick's linen indicated scrupulou
care in his uneie's housekeeper; but on
wing Of the dickey dropped sadly, willis
the other side stood proudly erect in al
the majesty of starch. His crayat was awl'
wardly twisted into a bow-knot; and i'm

The Question of Silver.

It was believed that the U. s. Treas ury Department intended to inaugurate the return to specie paymenG, by paying out silver. A later report says: Were the Secretary of the Treasury disposed to issue silver coin to any larger amount, he would not at this time be able to do so. The influx of foreign gold makes it necessary that it should be assayed and recoined at the earliest moment. Every effort is being put forth at the Philadelphia Mint to coin gold, and the capacity of its machinery is not equal to the present demand. As the labor of csining piece of silver is as great as coining gold the Secretary says the public will readily see that it would be impossible to turn out any large amount of silver coin without allowing the un- coined gold to accumulate, and that would be positive injury to the busi- ness interests of the country. He doubts whether people will care to burden their pockets with metallic money when the fractional currency is just as valuable and good deal more convenient. What ever amount is put out, it is his impress sion will be hoarded and not be used as circulating medium.
 His plan, he thinks, will be to allow all government indebtedness in small amounts, and sums of $5 or $10 on large bills, to be paid out in the silver stand ard coins by the Aasistant Treasurer; this to continue while the premium on gold remains below no. The extent of pouring out silver coin, it will be seen, has basis, like that of circulating the trade dollar, entirely governed by the premium on gold.

A PRov1DENT1An MAN.-This title now justly belongs to physician who has added to the list of medicines new remedy, which appears to include all that is most valuable in the old pharmacopoeia, and not to include any of the drawbacks with which the so- called specifics of the Faculty are chargeable. The Providential man is DR. JOSEPH WALKER, of California, whose VINEGAR BrrTERs have achieved, in the short space of two years, 8 degree of popularity never before attained by any advertised preparation in this coun- try. We have too much confidence in the shrewdness of the American people to suppose that this sudden and sur prising celebrity is the outgrowth of delusion. Indeed, we have reason to know that it is founded on innumerable and we'll authenticated cures of almost all the bodily ills that flesh is heir to. Not the least among the merits of the famous Tonic and Restorative, is it's entire freedom from alcohol, as we'll as from all mineral drugs. It is composed exclusively of rare vegetable extracts.

assussuiativnss Of the, Last Century.

Benson J. Lossings reviews in the ! PoughkaepsiA Eagle the famous Miss |:issipppis scheme and the South Sea FBubb De j the two great financial sensa-
 tions of the last century. The Missis-
 sippi scheme originated, it will be re-
 membered, in the bad state of the inan-
 ces of the French government That
 government lent itself to an immense
 scheme for swindling the people, in
 order to fill it's coffers. The company, with John Law, Scotchman, possess
 ing great reputation as an Amsterdam
 broker, at it's head, had a monopoly of
 the trade of the Mississippi, on the
 condition that it should relieve France of it's debt. The most extravagant stories of the richness of that valley were told, and the excitement among all classes at Paris was intense. The company was chartered, and after it's shares had gone up to 1,200 per cent. above par, burst. Wide financial ruin followed, and Law died in poverty at Vienna. The counterpartof this organ ization in England, the South Sea com pany, was to have monopoly of the South Sea trade, and was to confer the same favor on the British government that Law had promised to the French. Its shares rose above 1, 900 per cent. and as Q consequence 8 great number of similar companies sprung up around it. The objects of some of them were@ very curious. One was "for planting of mulberry trees and breeding of silk worms in Chelsea park ;' another :" for importing number of large jackasses from Spain in order to propagate a larger breed of mules in England" and a clergyman proposed company ''for discovering the land of Ophir." and monopoizing the gold and silver of that country. Toward the end of July, 1720, when the stocks of the various London concerns exceeded tho value of $1 300, 900, GOO, news came of the bursting of the Mississippi Bubble. The shares of the South Sea soon fell from $50 to 175. Share-hold lders pressed their shares upon the market with the eagerness Of men fleeing from falling building. Thousands of families were reduced at one blow to absolute poverty. Old families, whose estates were lost, dis appeared from society, and the names of many. noblemen were dropped from the list of the peerage of England for ever. The event stimulated emigra- tion to America, where ruined men hoped to retrieve their fortunes. From the debtors prisons in England, Ogle- thorope procured most of the first emi- grants who accompanied him to Georgia and founded that State.

E "aaFl --.Il7'ls --7' Determining the Purity of Butter.

An important paper was recently published in the Liverpool Medical and Surgical Reports, in reference to the most practicable methods of determin- ing the extent and character of the adulterations of butter. The various processes are principally chemical and spectroscopical, but are, to considera- able extent, sufficiently practical to form the basis of very definite experi ment. AS preliminary, m ounce of the sample of butter to be examined is placed in aa test tube seven eights of an inch in diameter, and melted by the immersion of the tube in hot water. A thermometer with pear-shaped bulb is then to be introduced, so that the bulb shall be in the middle of the fat, about an inch below the surface after which the whole is allowed to cool spontaneously. If the quantity of water in the butter be large, it will collect in the tube below the fat. Casein tube. The temperature is to be care fully noted, when qualification com nences, and when it is complete.
 If the butter is pure the thermometer is obcured between "A deg, and 68 deg, and is solid at 61 deg. An addi- tion of beef dripping causes the ther- mometer to obscure at s79 deg. ,and to become solid at 72 deg. MuttonEob- seures the thermometer at about 85 deg, and it is solid at S4 deg. Lard obscures the thermometer at 84 deg, and is solid at from 79 deg, to 70 deg, but often remains as soft as butter at 8 much lower temperature. Mixtures solidify at intermediate temperatures.
 If pure butter be examined by the microscope, with one-fourth or one fifth inch object-glass, nothing will be seen excepting the characteristic globules, the granular masses of curd, and the the cubical crystals of salt in the butter. The hard fats are present in the gloubles, in a state of solution, and not recognizable in separate form. The presence, however, of single fusi- form crystals, or star-like aggregations of needle-shaped crystals, indicates that melted fats are present. Starch, flour, Irish moss, &c., will be appreciable by the microscope, as distinct from butter or fats. aE @t.t.s .sf $ s$5

Strike of Cigar Makers.

The New York Cigar Makers are on a strike. The manufacturers wish to re- duce their rates of payment to the standard in vogue before last fall and this alteration is murmured at. A local paper says good and attentive cigar maker can, if he works we'll and steadily, manufacture 25O per diem, earning thereby $5 @ day or $3O per week under the old rule to which manufacturers wish to return. Under the rates which have been usual during the past year the price paid to the makers has been $2 per thousand in advance of this, which whd would make a good mans pay $33 per week. The manufacturers say that they are willing to do all in their power to help their employees, but the stringency of trade compels them to lower the rate of wages. On account of the scarcity of money and the laxity of business, many of the smaller factories have been compelled to discharge many of their hands.

A Caution.

Newspapers in many parts of the country warn persons rambling about the fields and woods against meddling with the plant known as poisol vine (rhus toxicodendron). It is a beautiful, bright-colored creeper, often to be seen clinging to old fences, walls, and trees. Contact with it results in very disagree able consequences to most persons, though there are some who can handle it with impunity. It attacks those who suffer from it with symptoms much re- sembling those of erysipelas. Cattle do not seem to be injured by the poison vine, as COWS are often to be seen eating it with impunity. Itis stated, however, that "milk sickness " in children is caused by using the milk of COWS that feed upon it. Several years ago an artist told the writer that, when sketch ing somewhere in Pennsylvania, at this season of the year, he was poisoned by accidental contact with this plant, and laid up for several days with fever and infammatory symptoms.

How Storms are Caused., .

Prof. Henry in a scientific convention suggested that if the storm comes to the seaboard the air is constantly drawn in from sea, bringing an immense amount of vapor. This may continue several days, constituting at Boston, for instance, long and violent northeast storm, when 50 or 75 miles back in the country the air is clear. The storm ap- pears to be produced by the heating of the lower strata and their expansion 1; then the equilibrium being disturbed there is a rushing up of tbe moist air into higher region, where it is con- densed and the caloric given out, where by the effect is increased. The whole storm is wasted eastward. till it comes to the seaboard, where it receives con- tinual supply. In the interior the SUD- ply at given point is soon exhausted, and this may be cause for the storm moving eastward. During Q storm at the seaboard there is motion outward ]; the wind is blowing inward from the ocean below, but outward toward it O

A Mad Duelist.

Bryan Mcguire was 8 stark-staring mad Irish duelist. He was big, burly cashiered officer, with bull neck and an elephants shoulders. His "humor, !" as Nym would have said, was to stand e' on streetIcrossing' and to jostilez into into attempt to pass him. His domestic habits were equally New Zealandish. He seldom rang the bell for the servant, but fred at it till it sounded. His wife had such confidence in his skill that she was in the habit of holding out 8 lighted candle for Mcguire to snuff with a pistol-bullet at so many paces. This infamous bully used to sit for days at his open window. If any one passed whose manners irritated him, he would fling some rubbish. at him. When the passes-by looked up, Bryan would spit in his face, and offer him loaded pistol and an invitation to an instant duel.

 l. He cannot. A person deals with a minor at his peril in such case, and must trust entirely to his honesty.
 2. You cannot, A. loan of money as, an act of friendship is not bailment. When we gloanaa sum of money to friend it is certainly intended that he shall make use of it, else such act of friendship will be of little service to him. In order to constitute such trans action @ bailment and not a loan, and the use of the money larceny, it must have been given for safe keeping or any other purpose than a loan, whereby the money had to be returned to the len der. Larceny by bailee is crime com mitted only when a person being a bailee of any property, that is person with whom any personal property is left by another for some purpose agreed when that purpose is accomplished, shall fraudulently take or convert the same to his own use or to the use of any other person, except the owner thereof. Penn. Penal Code 1860, sec. 108. 2.
 3. A man is justified in defending against an attack by another upon his person. but he must not go further. He may use sufficient force to protect himself, but not such violence as will punish the other, or revenge himself. Whether both parties are guilty, depends entirely upon. the facts in the case. &a [ &
 4. He can bring both or either. SN
 5. The law does not. Such divorce practically merely. to g. .sepa- ration, and, except that the parties do not live together, they are still husband and wife as if no divorce had taken place between them. They may termi- nate. the divorce by simply agreeing to live together. again, any illicit inter course with other persons is indictable, their mutual rights to the others, prop erty, as dover and the courtesy, are as before, and the husband generally sup ports the wife by what is called hereali- mony. Should either party marry again, it would be bigamy in the same manner as if they had not been di- vorced. ~ ~ { a~ e v
