LOUISIANA IN CONGRESS.

It has been trumpeted far and wide that the
Louisiana question is one Of the first that will
be taken up by Congress, and that Morton
has been telegraphed to and is fastening
| from California to Washington to defend the
sinking cause of Kellogg against the expected
onsets Of Senator Carpenter. But Morton
ought to have learned something from the re-
suit of the recent elections. He, the cham
pion of Kellogg, lost his State, while Carpen-
ter, who exposed the usurpation with master.
ly force and eloquence, handsomely redeemed
Wisconsin, which the Democrats carried last
year.
Wisconsin, instead of being swept along
with the tide of Democratic victories, is the
one conspicuous exception to the general ad-
vance of the Democratic hosts. But the only
thing to be pleaded in Carpenters favor is his
vigorous opposition to the Louisiana usurpa-
ton and his manly exposure Of the frauds by
which it was accomplished He has saved his
State, whereas Morton, who took the other
side, lost Indiana, and returns to Washington
this winter a mortified and crestfallen man.
The contrast between the popular verdict in
Wisconsin and in Indiana foreshadows the re-
suit of Kelloggs vain appeal to Congress.
The popular decision against the Louisiana

the prudence of the snakes in Ireland after the
arrival OF st. Patrick
And the snakes committed suicide
To save themselves from slaughter.

mood to follow Durells example OF suicide
there is no way in which they can do it so eff

medical necessities The Tribune says that he

of pearl powder, until told that her sister

Count Won MoLTKE AS MAGISTRATE
Field Marshal Count Won Moltke. as is well
known, has handsome estate in Silesia. In
his character of landed proprietor, he has &C.
cepted, in its strictest sense, the duties and
responsibilities of predial estate.
Not only does he act q civil magistrate, but
in the absence of his chaplains, he undertakes
the performance Of their pastoral duties. The
same hand that has planned SO many battles,
registers at home the baptism Of the child that
the stork has just dropped into the mothers
bosom and the tongue which in seven langu-
ages is more reticent than that of many a man
who babbles but in one, is ever ready to read
the marriage service for as many afianced
couples as awaits Gods blessing upon their
love.
When all this becomes known abroad the
runaway couples of England will turn away
from Gretna Green to fly to Creisau; and
many mother will bring thither her child
that its baptismal certificate may be signed by
Won Moltke's hand. His autograph, in years
to come, will be more valuable than that of
the Archbishops of Canterbury or Wesmin-
ster.-Ndchricten aus Deutschland md Sch,ceis.

A Fair Suggestion.

A good story comes from Scotland.
1t seems that in certain Scotch county
parish, a church officer filled the office
of grave digger for the long space OF
fifty years. Suspicion had long been
entertained that he was in the habit of
helping himself out of the collection
plate whenever an opportunity per
mitted. 1t was difficult, of course, to
prove this. At last, however, the sum
of one pound was distracted from a
missionary box, which stood in the
vestry, and everything combined to
point out this man as the culprit. The
elders told the minister that something
must really be done. The minister
said, Leave him to me, and I'll see
what can be dOne.r-The following
Sabbath, after the forenoon service, the
minister was taking off his gown and
bands, and being alone In the yestry
with the suspected man, he thought
the opportunity too good to be lost; SO
he said, Andrew, have you heard OF
the money that is missing from the
bOxr "Oh, ay," said Andrew, 81 was
hearing something about it, can
drew, continued the other very gravely,
1.-The matter lies between you and me.
We are the only two who have access
to the box. Either you or must be
the thief Deed, sir" reiOined the
imperturbable Andrew, 'it's just as
you say, we're the only two that have
access to the box, and | think the best
way'll be for you to pay the half and
pay the ither, and say nae mair about

The air goes through the shell and keeps

the air goes through the shell and keeps
up kind of respiration. An egg soon
becomes stale in bad air, or in dry air
charged with carbonic acid. Eggs may
be dried and made to retain their good
ness for long time, or the shell may
be vanished, which excludes the air,
when, if kept in a moderate tempera-
ture, they may be kept for years. The
French people produce more eggs than
any other, and ship millions Of them
to England annually. Fresh eggs are
more transparent at the centre, old ones
on the top. Very old ones are not
transparent in either place. In water,
in which one-tenth of salt has been dis
solved, good eggs sink and Indifferent
ones swim. Bad eggs float in pure
water. The best eggs are laid by young
healthy hens. If they are properly fed,
the eggs are better than if they are
allowed to eat all sorts of food. Eggs
are best when cooked four minutes.
This takes away the animal taste that is
offensive to some, but does not harden
the white or yolk as to make them hard
to digest. An egg if cooked very hard
is difficult of digestion, except by those
with stout stonachS such eggs should
be eaten with bread and masticated very
finely. An excellent sandwich can be
made with eggs and brown bread. An
egg spread on toast is food fit for n
king, if kings deserve any better food
than anybody else, which is doubtful.
Fried eggs are less wholesome than
boiled ones. An egg dropped into hot
water is not only clean and handsome
but a delicious morsel. Most people
spoil the taste of their eggs by adding
pepper and salt. A little sweet butter
is the best dressing. Eggs contain
much PHOSPHORUS, which is supposed
to be useful to those who use their
brains much.

Old Letters.

Lord Cockburn writes in his memoirs:
81 have all my life had bad habit of
preserving letters and OF keeping them
arranged and docketed but seeing the
future use that is often made of papers,
especially by friendly biOgraphers.
who rarely hesitate to sacrifice conf
dence and delicacy to the promotion OF
sale or excitement, have long resolved
to send them all up the chimney in the
form of smoke, and the sentence was
executed. 1 have kept Richardson's
and Jeffrey's and some correspondence
had during important passages OF our
Scotch progress but the rest, amount
ing to several thousands, can now, thank
God, enable no venality to publish ss-
cred secrets, or to stain fair regulations
by plausible mistakes. Yet old friends
canno. be parted with without pang.
The site of even the outsides of letters
of fifty yards recalls part of the inter
est with which each was received In Its
day, and then annihilstion makes one
start as if one had suddenly reached
the age of final oblivion. Nevertheless,
as packet after packet smothered the
ire with its ashes and gradually disap.
peared in dim vapor, reflected that
ny correspondents were safe, and
Was pleased"

Probably the Oldest Timber I'm
the World.

Probably the Oldest timber in the
world which has been subjected to the
use of man is that found in the ancient
temple of Egypt, in connection with
the stone-work, which is known to be
pt least four thousand years old. This,
the only wood used in the construction
of the temple, is in the form of ties,
holding the end of one stone to another
to its upper surface. When two blocks
were laid in place an excavation about
an inch deep was made in each block,
into which tie shaped like an hour
glass was driven. 1t is therefore very
difficult to force any stone from its po-
sition. The ties appear to have been
of the tamarisk or shittem wood of
which the ark was constructed, a
sacred tree in ancient Egypt, and now
very rarely found in the valley of the
Nile. The dove-tailed ties are as sound
now as on the day of their insertion.
Although fuel is extremely scarce in
the country, these bits of wood are not
large enough to make it an object with
the Arabs to heaye on layer after layer
of heavy stone to obtain them. Had
they been of bronze half of the old tenn
pie would have been destroyed years
ago; so precious they would have been
for various purposes.

Brick That Have Endured For
Twenty Centuries.

A correspondent writing from Persia
says:
Coming from Bagdad, which, in di-
rect line, is forty-four miles distant,
three immense mounds appear IN sue.
cession, which have the appearance OF
natural hills. But close examination
shows that they are composed OF bricks
and are remains of large buildings.
These are on the east side OF the Eu.
pirates, and the largest is about l5O
feet in height. They are supposed 10
ba an ancient citadel that defended
this part of the town, the royal palace
and temple. How immense must the
original buildings have been, when II
is considered that these mounds have
been the store-house from which for
twenty centuries bricks of the finest de-
scription have been taken to build the
great cities of Ctesiphon, Selucia and
Bagdad. Fragments of alabaster YES
sells and images, fine earthenware mar,
BILE and great quantities OF enameied
files. the coloring and glazing OF which
are still surprisingly fresh, can yet be
found in these mounds. On the face
of eyery brick is stamped in cuneiform
tbe name and titles of Nebuchadnezzar:
They are all laid face downward, and
the cement in which they are imbedded
is SO hard that they can only be de-
tached with the greatest difficulty.
