TRULY SAD.

AS strange as it may seem to the
readers of the JOURNAL, while the
grasshoppers out West are prcy'ng,
the scourged people are praying also,
for instance, the Governor of Mis-
souri, has issued a proclamation call
ing on the people of the State to OBJ
serve Thursday, June 81, as day
of humiliation, fasting and prayer.
Information came to him from all
sources that the State is threatened
with the grasshopper pestilence, to
be followed with failure of crops,
great distress aud possible famine.
Nothing but the interposition of
Providence can save them from the
pest, and the Governor recommends
that the supplications of the people
be raised for divine relief and pro
lection.

world was going to come to an end
last Monday, which did not prevent
his having on hand numerous stacks
of hay. lie was pious, which did
not prevent him from seeing his short
comings. But he mufIed himself up
in his ascension robes last Monday,
and mounted on one of those stacks
of hay to get good start for the
New Jerusalem, which did not keep
him from going to sleep after he had
waited awhile for the grand event.
Peacefully he dozed, until just before
the rain, when some bcathenish boys
set fire to the haystack, and as the
flames circled around him he awoke.

TIE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN IN THE

TIE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN IN THE
WoRLD.-A genuine surprise await
ed the best informed geographers--
the discovery of Mount Hercules, in
the Island of New Guinea, off the coast
of Australia, where the Indian ocean
and Pacific meet. The newly dis,
covered mountain is 80, 1856 feet high,
over six miles. Mount Everest in the
Himalayan range, heretofore credi>
ted with the sovereign altitude, is
only 29,002 feet high. Mount Her
cules stands near the centre of the
island, and the discovsrer, captain
J. A. Lawson, gives thrilling &C
count of his ascent to the height Of
%, 314 feet, till the blood flowed
from the nose and ears of himself and
attendant, and gasping to the place
of breathing.

AN EXPRESSIVE LUxuRY.-The
Beecher trial, which has furnished
such an amount OF choice reading
matter to the prurient scandal mon,
gers of the country, promises to be
a very expensive luxury. Some Of
the lawyers are said to give their
services--on Tilton's side, at least
without pecuniary compensation.
But it is not so with all of them.
There is, for example, Mr. Evarts ;
be gets 500 a day. 1t is big pay,
but the wealthy corporation known
as Plymouth Church knowing the
consequences if Beecher is con-
demned) foots the bills. Mr.. Evarts
bill already must be something like
100000; for this singular trial has
already been going on these three
months, and may yet become, if it
has not already grown to be, one of
the established institutions OF the
country. Aud there are other law,
yers engaged in this case who are al
so getting very liberal fees. Alto
gether it is likely 10 be costly af,
fair 10 more senses than one.

ETHAN ALLEN WAS THERE.

On the Sunday following his cap
ture OF Ticonderoga, Ethan Allen at
tended divine worship in little meet
ing house at Bennington. The cler-
gyman, who was as devout as he
was loyal, took occasion, during the
long prayer that proceeded the SER
mon, TO give all the glory of the ex>
plot to the God of Battles. Aliens
notion of the share which Providence
had in the matter did not exactly
agree with his pastors. He held his
peace for some time, but finally,
overcome by a passing impulse,
arose in his seat and called out

A FARMERS boy was crossing a
field where very wild and ferocious
bull was allowed to roam at large.
When the boy had about reached the
middle of the field, he suddenly saw
the bull with head lowered rushing
furiously at him. Being accustomed
to managing cattle he was in no way
disconnected, but ran to tree near
by and commenced running round it,
with the bull after him presently he
caught the bull by the tail and COM
menced beIaboring him unmercifuI.
ly with stick. The bull finding that
''tsiI' was turned, started off on
run, the boy swinging to him; but
the faster he ran the more the boy
belabored him, until finally he COM
menced believing. "Oh," says the
boy, increasing his blows, "you may
below, but I'd like to know who star
ted this fun"

Don't Do IT.-Don't firt with a
fool. lis bad enough to fool with a
hirt.
Don't underbill your age. Your
detection is only a question Of
time.
Don't rush. At the end of the
race you will suffice to convict the
world Of your folly.
Don't magnify your neighbours
vices. Its worse than extolling
your own virtues.
Don't boast of your riches. Some
one may ask you to loan them
quarter.
Don't dream that the world cant
wag along without you. A grain Of
sand is not missed from the desert.
Don't attempt to do too much
At twenty-five men imagine they
will reform the world. At forty
they are content to reform them
selves.

CoNsUMPTI0N.-An new cure for
consumption is said to be common
mullen, stepped strong and Sweetened
with coffee sugar, and drank freely.
The herbs should be gathered before
the end of July, if convenient. The
discoverer of this remedy says
"Young or old plants are good dried
in the shade, and kept in clean paper
bags. The medicine must be con-
tinued from three to six months, &C
cording to the nature of the disease.
It is good for the blood vessels, also.
1t strengthens the system, and builds
up instead Of taking away strength.
1t makes good blood, and takes in

HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Mr. Butler, Of
Massachusetts,, introduced a resolution call
ing upon the Secretary Of the Treasury for
information as to whether the portraits Of
living persons have been engraved for the
purpose of printing them on the notes or
currency Of the United-States.
Mr.. Poland made majority report from
the committee appointed to investigate af-
fairs in Arkansas, recommending that no
action be taken in the case. The commit
tee conclude their report as follows;
The new Constitution we regard as Re
publican in form, and in many respects an
Improvement on that Of 1865. The COM
mittee are satisfied that the convention to
frame the Constitution and the CUnstitu-
tion itself, were voted for and are satisfac-
tory to a msjOrity of the voters and people
in the State. The State officers were
certainly elected by a majority Of the votes
cast, and we think by majority Of the
votes in the State. The condition Of the
State has been as peaceful since the new
government was inaugurated as it ever has
been. Themass ofthe people on both sides
are inclined to peace and good government,
and to allow all the enjoyment Of their
legal rights, but there is a class Of men, the
outgrowth OF the former state Of society,
who delight in disturbing and depriVing
the cOlored people and Northern people Of
their rights. These are young men who
cannot be restrained. This class Of men,

COUNT JOHANNES.
A Comic Episode of the Beecher Trial

A Comic Episode Of the BeecheF Trial.
Brooklyn Special to the Chicago Times.
A few days ago Mr.. Evarts, in citing cases
against the admission Of TiltOn's evidence,
cited the Massachusetts, case Of Johannes VS.,
Bennett. Now, George, the Count Jo-
hannes is tolerably we'll known to every
frequenter Of the New York law courts,
particularly to the bar, and he is an incOr-
rigible punster. In the suit referred to,
il appeared he was a suitor for the hand Of
a widow, and one Bennett interfered with
a letter to the lady, for which the Count
instituted suit. Mr.. Evarts read the case
as adverse to the Count. This morning the
Count hustled in, pale and excited, fully
15 minutes before the opening of the court.
Glancing over the many heads fronting the
judicial seat, and clumsily stumbling over
chairs and tables, he was before the cOun-
sells table, with Eyeglasses on tip Of nose
and knocking law volumes about, in
his desire to see the book from which MIR.
Evarts quoted the case. "I'll address the
court on the subject as soon as the cOu't
opens said the Count, Indignantly, "nOt
as amicus cuTa, but in propria persona.
Brother Evarts did not report me cor
reetly." Ten moments later, when the
Judge came in, the Count arose, and, with
a predatory, "YOur HONOR got the atten-
ton of the court; but the Judge twice re-
quested him to wait until the jury was
called. The Count, who could hardly re-
strain his impatience, then said, .Alay it
please your honor, in my absence Brother
Eyarts quoted from a Massachusetts de-
cision, in which 1 was plaintiff. The
truth is that l was engaged to be
married to a young lady, and a rev
erend gentleman wrote letters OF libel
against me, which l, in my generosity, de-

country and their constituents;

fellow-citizens of all parishes in the State
TO assemble in mass convention to Join with
us in uttering this solemn protest against
the proposed action Of those Senators and
Representatives who, forgetful OF their duty
or blinded by false considerations, would
undo all the results Of our heroic efforts
and surrender the struggle for our rights
and liberties, which are dearer than life.
