We commented the other day upon the
general mockery of speeches from the
gallows, but the case of Austin Hum
phreys, who was hanged near Detroit on
Tuesday for the murder of a dilatory
creditor, appears to be an exception to
the rule. Facing death with courage,
but without bravado, the condemned
man spoke this touching farewell: "My
dear friends, am now on the scaffold to
pay the last penalty of the law, and l
bless God that He has seen fit to pardon
me and wash away my sins. feel that
my sentence is just, and want to warn
you all, my dear friends, never to touch
the intoxicating cup. 1t was all through
liquor that l came here. Oh, my friends,
as you value your own souls, leave that
cup alone. 1t has done more harm than
ali other things put together, and has
been the ruin of thousands, as it has
been of me. May God have mercy on
me and give me grace" Probably nc
one then within the sound of his voice
will ever forget these words.-Balt. Gaz

THE PREMATURE BURIAL SEN
SATION FOLLY EXPLODED.

The grand jury of Baltimore county,
at Towsontown, Gen. John S. Berry,
foreman, yesterday completed their in
vestigation of the ''premature burial SEN
sation' case in the fifth district of the
county, and dismissed the case, finding
nothing to substantiate the wild rumors
that were afloat regarding the case. 1t
will be remembered that rumors were
set afloat after the burial of Christie, a
young girl about fourteen years old, Ia
ken into the family of MIR. r. +. Caples,
of Black Rock, from the county aims
house, that she was heard to utter sounds
after her body had been lowered into the
grave. From this story, started and ex-
tensively circulated by women, high
degree of excitement was aroused. The
body was exhumed the day after the
burial by crowd of about twenty men.
They found the corpse placid and com
posed, though turned little to one side,
but nothing whatever to indicate vio-
lent death or a struggle in the cofiin.-

The ! ROYAL Cow.

When cotton was summarily dis
crowned from its long reign quite q
number of aspirants reached for the
regalia, and iron, corn, hay and wheat
streached for the sceptre. A rival
has entered the field, while the des-
posed monarch is regaining his strength
and worshipers; and though centuries
have lspsed since Egypt deified the
COW and Homer made "ox-eyed Juno"
more queenly for that quantity, the
COW Is being statistlcally foisted above
cotton and all it's other rivals, The
coronation is. of course, at the hands
of the dsirymen and maidens. Their
exponent has just declared that the
country has $450, ,000, 900 invested In
10, ,O00. 900 milch cows, whose annual
product is worth $275, 142, 1856. while
the last cotton crop was worth only
5000, ,OO0, 600. j, ...
The enormous sum of this dairy in
terest--which includes nothing OF
oxen, hides or meat-will surprise every
one who has paid no attention to it.
The fallacy which destroy the hay
argument Is partially wanting here
too. For, while our exploration of hay
amounts to nothing and hardly equals
consumption, there is great and
rapidly growing export of butter
cheese, salt and fresh beef and live
animals. The sum cannot be eaccurately
computed, and carries the particular
valuation into the same classification
with cotton. Fer in all these interests
the final appreciation does not rest
upon the amount, how considerable
soever that may be, which Is consum-
ed at home and so lost to wealth, but
upon the amount beyond consumption
which is exported and enriches the
land by its equivalent in gold or othel
neede and permanent worths.
Thss gross value of cattle for labor
manure, milk, meat, cheese, butter,
leather and other ends, is susceptible
of vast additional and must necessa
rily expand with western settlement
and increase the returns shown in ouI
foreign trade. while sustaining labor
at home more abundantly and cheaply
and 80 enabling every industry : to
flourish.in competition with less favored
countries, and comforts and luxuriei
to be enjoyed by all. 1t will not hold
the throne it challenges any mere thar
the hay crop; provided the southern
energy which has done 80 much tow
ard restoring its early abundance, holds
the course it has with the energy 1t il
now showing. But it may, and appa
rently must, reach higher sum thar
any farmer or any statistician has
dreamed, for, recovering its total, il
has acquired the best blood OF the best
herds of Europe; has given practica
attention and study TO the manufactu
re of cheese and butter; has given the
leather interest new power, is con
quering Texas, California and all thu
new statee, and is arousing wonder il
and drawing money from Europe ant
Asia at the same time.-North Anert

First of all, You must choose your
time carefully, young man. Don't
ask Angelina to make you the chap
piest of men, ifshe is hungry or tired,
or sleepy, as she is apt to be irritable
at such times. Never forget your
self SO far as to propose on returning
from q theater. She will have the
style and air of some actor before her
mental vision, and you can't compare
with the romanccs she throws over
him. The best way is to invite her to
some entertainment which you know
she wants to attend, and then propose
to her just as she is ready to start.
This will be greatly to your advan.
tage, for she will easily e that O re-
lection will upset an evenings enter

her decision. Est -.
