OF the contest was the alleged undue influence
exerted by the Roman Catholic clergy in behalf
OF the latter. The court held that any intimi-

or any other moral force used to secure votes,
voided an election; that the clergy of any
denomination were, in the eyes of the law, no
better than laymen, and that all British enact

cided in resisting the encroachments of the

A SENSITIVE WoMAN.-The fol
lowing is told Of a resident of Iowa:
THE case of Mrs. E. Winahip, who
resides in Shell Rock, is remarka-
BILE one. The slightest odor Of to-
bacco, ether, chloroform, turpentine,
benzine, kerosene or prussic acid
will, if she inhale it, throw her into
violent commissions. So sensitive is
she to the effect that she is obliged
to shut herself wholly in room by
herself. Those COMMISSIONS increase
in severity at each repetition, and a
few days since man entered the
house with piece Of tobacco in his
mouth before the family were aware
of it, and although the rooms were
thoroughly ventilated by leaving the
doors and windows open, enough of
the odor of tobacco remained to pro-
duce these commissions when Mrs.
Winship came into the room, and for
some hours it was thought she would
not recover. Extraordinary precau
tions are used to prevent those who
use tobacco from going to the house.

one of his mishaps last Wednesday:
"While Senator Maxey was speaking
in the Senate this morning, Senator
Davis. of Illinois, left his own seat
to get nearer the Texas Senator. He
took the chance of one of the ordi-
nary Senate chairs holding him.
The result was that he had no sooner
got we'll seated in it than the cane
seat, as we'll as the underpinning,
gave way, and dumped the distin.
guished Senator on the floor in q
very undignified bundle"

The WRONG PIG.-It is related
that bear and its leader lately ar
rived toward night at village near
the city Of Lyons, and the latter
sought admission into the only inn
in the place. The host at first de-
clined to admit the strange pair, not
knowing where to place the animal,
but finally he concluded to receive
them. The bear was placed in
pigsty, and it's occupant, a fat pig,
which was to be killed on the NOR
row, was let loose in the courtyard.
In the middle of the night cries of
help proceeding proceeded from the
pigsty aroused the house, and the
servants at once ran to the spot. 1t
was then ascertained that a thief,
excited by the splendid condition Of
the pig, had determined on clipping
with it, and had entered the pigsty
with that laudable intention. The
bear, displeased at being suddenly
awakened by this enterprising indi-
vidual, rewarded him with a frater-
nal hug, which caused the would be
thief to cry out SO Justify. The man
was delivered from the jaws of the
bear, but only to be handed over in
to the hands Of justice.

The NobIest Life.

I Higher still is he who is never so
happy as when he is making other
people happy; when he is relieving
pain, and giving pleasure to two or
three or more people about him.
Higher yet is he whose chief joy it
is to labor at great and eternal
thoughts, in which lies bound up
the happiness of a whole nation, and
perhaps whole world, at future
time when he will be Wondering
in his grave. Any man who, capa-
BILE of this joy, and at the same time
of spreading comfort and pleasure
among the few who live round about
him, is the noblest human being we
can conceive of; he is also the hap.
piest. 1t is true that his capacity
for pain is exercised and enlarged,
as we'll as his power of feeling pleas
ure. But what pains such man is
the vice and folly and misery of his
fellowmen; and he knows that these
must melt away hereafter in the
light of the great ideas which he
perceives to be in store for them,
while the pleasure, being in the
faith of better future, is as vivid
and as sure as great thoughts are
clear and eternal. For an illustra-
ton of this noblest means of happi-
ness, we had better look to the high
est instance of all. / have always
thought that we are apt to dwell too
much on the suffering and sorrow Of
the lot and mind of Christ. Our
reverence and sympathy should be
more with his Astounding JOY. I
think those who read with clear eyes
and an open mind will see evidences
of unutterable joy in his words, may
almost think they hear it in his
tones, when he promised heaven to
the disinterested, and earth to the
meek, and satisfaction to the ear
nest; when he welcomed the faith of
the centurion, and the hope of the
penitent, and the charity Of the
widow; when he saw the incoming
of the Gentiles, and knew that heav-
en- and earth should pass away
sooner than his words of life and
truth. The sufferings Of the holy
can never surely trancend their
peace; and whose fulness of Joy
can compare with theirs2-[ Harriet
Martineau.

Coop BREAD.-1 have seen a good
recipe in your paper for making good
bread, so l will give your readers my
method: Boil six good-sized, we'll
washed potatoes, and with the par
ings on, this is the main secret; have
good flour and yeast; take the water
in which the potatoes were boiled,
and pour it on one tea-cupful of
flour; then set your yeast, taking
three quarts of water to one pint of
yeast; stir in enough -four to make a
thick batter; then let it rise till it
falls in the middle, after which put
in as much salt, Zone must use their
own judgment in this) as needed
then work till smooth. Care should
be taken to put all the flour in at one
time; then set it, but do not make
the loayes too large; have the oven
of the required temperature before
the bread is put in; bake to a hard
crust, after which wrap up in cloth
which will soften the crust. If any
Changers daughter can beat this for
bread I should like to hear from
them Prairie Farmer.
