RESISTING THE AUSTRIAN OCCUPATION.
A dispatch from Belgrade on the 9Th
inst, says the excitement throughout
Bosnia and Herzegovina is rapidly in
creasing as the Austrians advance, and
the inhabitants are collecting in bands.
Considerable uneasiuess prevails in Ser
via at the aspect of affairs in the neigh

A Boise City dispatch of the 9th inst,
says the number of hostiles who passed
up Snake river are variOuslv estimated
by observers at from rs to 200. These
are probably what is left of the party
of Bannocks who raided this section of
Idaho at the beginning of the war. The
Piutes and other allies are yet in Ore
gon between Malhuer and Stearns,
mountains and along Awaypee river,
committing depredations sufficient to
engage the attention of the troops in
that direction. The band which left
the reservation ten days ago are now
supposed to be ready for hostilities. A
letter is received from Capt Haley,
from Cold Springs overland, Aug.
End, which says that scouts were out to-
day and that they have just returned
and report they found the Indians in
large force on both sides of Snake river
at Bottom near Brunear. The Indians
charged the scouts for 5 miles firing at
them. 1850 H"..- H.@Hf g'"I ~ 3s-i

COMING IN'FOR RATIONS.

A Baker City, Oregon, dispatch of the
9th inst. says courier has arrived at
Wheaton's headquarters with dis
patch from Col M. Miller, command
ing officer at Malheur agency. stating

Oils and his party. If so, the present

Our Ex-Presidemts and their For
tunes.
Washington Correspondence Troy Times.
General Grants long absence in
Europe has called attention to his
pecuniary resources, and to the
wealth of the Presidents who have
preceded him. General Grant suf-
fered a good many losses within the
latter part of his administration,
but has income enough probably to
live moderately without annoyance.
His children who are married are
able to take care of themselves, and
the younger boys are certainly
bright enough to do it. But this
was not true of all the Presidents.
Jefferson died rather poor. Congress
purchased his library at a very ex-
travagant price, and without that it
is said he would have found it very
difficult in the last years of his life
to have subsisted. Madison saved
considerable money out of his sal
airy and died quite rich.
Congress gave his widow $4,000
for his manuscripts. James Monroe
probably died poorer than any other
President. He had absolutely moth
ing and was buried by the charity
of his friends. John Quincy Adams
was always thrifty and prudent, and
left quite a fortune. His heirs own
! considerable property in Washing
ton to-day. Martin Van Buren, died
rich. Healways kept his eye open for
the main chance, and pinched pen
mics very closely. He spent scarce
~ anything for politics. Daniel
Webster, although never President,
spent a sum of money which would
have been equal to large fortune,
the result of his professional labors
and of his political work. He left a
little estate to his children, amount
| ingtO perhaps $40, 900, while heoWed
his friends more than a quarter of
million.
Henry Clay, who was never rich
enough to entertain very much in
Washington, managed his affairs
very prudently, and left an estate es-
| timated at about 500, 600. Polk, al
ways ecOnOmicalin office, saved $780,
| 900 out Ofhis term, and left to his heirs
| $l50,000. John Tyler was a most
thrifty person in the Presidential
| Office. When he entered it he was
bankrupt; he saved money in it,
married rich widow and died rich.
Zachary Taylor left perhaps $780,
600. Willard Fillmore was wealthy,
and left his heirs a considerable sum.
EX-President Pierce died leaving an
estate worth not over $4,000. Blu
chanan left but a moderate fortune.
Hayes is rich, and is saving money
on a 5000 salary.

Don,ts for Husbands.

Don't think when you have won
a wife that you have also won a
slave.
Don't think that your wife hasless
feeling than your sweetheart. Her
relationship to you is simply chang
ed not her nature.
Don't think that you can dispense
with all the little civilities of life to-
wards her youu may marry. She
appreciates those things quite as
much as other women.
Don't be gruff and rude at home.
Had you been that sort of fellow
before marriage, the probabilities
are you would be sewing on your
own buttons still.
Don't make your wife feel that she
is an incumbrance ON you by giving
grudgingly. What she needs give
cheerfully, as if it were a pleasure
so to do. She will feel better and
so will you.
Don't NEEDLE in affairs of the
house under her charge. You have
no more right to be pOking your
nose in the kitchen than she has to
walk into your place of business and
give directions to your employees.
Don't find fault with her eXtrava-
gance in ribbands, etc, until you
have shut down on cigars, tobacco,
whiskey, etc.
Don't leave your wife at home to
nurse the children, on the score of
economy, while you bolt down town
at night to see the show or spend a
dollar on billiards.
Font bolt your supper and hurry
off to spend your evenings Longing
around away from your wife. Be
fore marriage you couldn't spend
evenings enough with her.
Don't prOwl in the loafing resorts
till midnight, wasting your time in
culpable idleness, leaving your wife
lonely at home to brood over your
neglect and her disappointment.
Don't think the woman you prom
ised to ''love, cherish and protect, !"
becomes your servant as her part of
the contract.
Don't think that board and clothes
is a sufficient return for all a wife
does for you.
Don't expect your wife to love and
honor you if you prove brute un-
worthy OF love and honor.
Don't caresS your wife in public
and snarl and growl at her in pri-
vate. This proves you both hypO-
critic and a dog.
Don't wonder that your wife is
not as cheerful as she used to be
when she labors from early morn
till late at night to pander to the
comfort and caprice of a selfish pig
who has not soul enough to appreci-
ate her.
Don't, if your wife has faults, be
constantly reminding her of them
while you have never a word of
commentator for her virtues. If
she did that with you you'd be as
mad as a hornet.
Don't expect your wife to have no
falling. Not to have any is not to
be human and you thought you
were marrying woman when you
married her. She thought she mar
ried a man, and don't you deceive
her.

Mr.. Webster believed him to be Il

eff the abuse heaped upon him by the
opposite party, which had accused
him OF being demagogue and an
anarchist, was unjust. Mr.. Web
