In a mere party view the majority
would be justified 10 pushing the Presi-
dent and his revolutionary associates 10
the logical conclusion of his own unwar-
rantable act But to do that would dis
tract public attention from the true ques
tons at issue, measurably hide the reaI
merits Of the controversy, and threaten
consequences disastrous to the business il
not the peace of the country. The course
here indicated is the patriotic one. and
will, we feel assured, commend itself to our
political friends as wisest for them and the
country,whose interests they have at heart
This wil!involve no surrender Of principle
no abandonment Of policy, but will oper
ate in the nature of an appeal to a tribu
nal pre- eminently appropriated to finally
determine all issues which effect popular
rights, and in the right settlement of which
every American citizen has a direct per

at time to my bed. The balance of the
time l was compelled to crawl around upon

which proved worse than useless AS to what

it to any one who has not tried its realities.
The first application of Wizard Oil gave
me relief in fifteen minutes, and dispelled my
doubts in twenty-four hours. l used a bottle

the use of the first bottle,
left my Clutches at home and
walked down town without them
for the first time in two years.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON. May 6.-The cabinet at
its meeting today, was mainly occupied
with the consideration Of the threatened
invasion of the Indian Territory by squat.
tiers. The Attorney General gave syerbal
opinion that under the treaties of 1866
with the Greeks and Seminoles. by which
the lands were surrendered in consequence
OF desire of the government to locate
civilized indians and freedmen thereon. the
lands were not open to white settlers. Con
siderable time was used in discussing the
authority to use the military to prevent in
vasIon under the restriction legislation OF
Congress. 1t was however. agreed that
the law authorizing the Superintendent OF
Indian Affairs to call upon the military to
assist him 10 ejecting iDtruders was unim-
paired, and that a very general request
Tor that purpose would be sufficient au-
thorlty for military intervention, and that
every effort should be put forth to pre-.
vent Squatters from obtaining permanent
toot-hold there The reported discov
erV of silver mines was wholly discredited
1t being regarded as canard to aid the
scheme of invasion. The Latest reports
| indicate that in view Of the active measures
taken by the Government, the sQuatters
will not attempt to go into the Territor,
in body, but will break up into SINAI
squads and cross the line at various point,

Sailing Ships Disappearing.

A New York letter to the Philadel-
phia Ledger, Says: There would really
seem to be no future for the poor sail
ing ship. About the only paying bust
ness that has been left for the smaller
class of vessels of late has been the
West India sugar and molasses trade,
and now even that is about to be turned
over to the all-devouring British steam
ship. At this moment there are some
six or seven of those quick-sailing,
cheap-manned British freighters on their
way to this side, under charter to bring
sugar at SO % a 81 per hosshead, port
charges included, whereas the sailing
vessels heretofore have thought they
were doing badly if they could not get a
much higher figure. These steamers ale
upwards of 1000 tons burthcn, but their
draught is not 50 great as to prevent
them from getting in and out any of the
sugar ports without difficulty. "The
worst OF it is said an old shipowner at
the Maritime Exchange when these
British steamers once take hold of any
particular trade, they never let 90 their
hold until they have driven everybody
else out OF Il. We NAV as well accept
the situation, however, and make the
best of it. Certain i, is thai the sailing
vessel has had its day, and rs things
stand at present, no one but lunatic
will think eff building a new one

Freezing a Wife.

Young husbands, as soon as the mat
rimonial moose is tied, leave Off by de
grees all those nice little civilities and
attentions which made you so pleasant
and agreeable to your lady loves in the
days of courtship. De not fail to men
ton every fault and imperfectioh You
discover in your wife's disposition, which
of course You must give her to under
stand you did not know she possessed or
she would never have become your wife;
and when in company, pay more atten-
ton to every other lady than YOU do to
her Expatiate largely on the merits
and beauty of certain lady friend of
yours whom you once thought of adj
dressing. In after years, as your house
hold treasures increase, leave all the care
and worry of them to her; never once
offer to tighten her burdens by amusing
the little ones when you are about the
house, but take to your book and paper,
and require each little child to keep
quiet and let you read. If they fail to
obey, scold, fret and whip them, and
wonder why she does not teach them to
mind when spoken to. When the baby
is teething, or James has the Group,
retire early to rest, leaving her alone
with the wide-awake sufferers. and while
she administers medicine (spillins half
for want of some one to assist then
walks with it in her tired arms up and
down the floor until nearly ready to
faint, then rocks it and rubs it, while
its screams continue to pierce her mother
heart like arrows, you sleep, sleep on,
unmindful of its physical suffering or her
WEAKNESS and anguish even if She call
you anon more loudly each time, until
in despair she gives w all hopes OF
arousing yog. Continue to follow these
instructions ten years, land if your wife's
heart is not as cold as an iceberg toward
You at the end of that time, You may
rest assured that she has a spark Of in-
sanity in her composition.

Marvels of a Florida Sink Hole

Last Thursday it was discovered that a
sink-hole had forme1 on the telegraph
road between here and Fort Mead, about
ten miles from here. The road ran near
about through the centre of the sink,
which is about forty feet in diameter and
as round as a circle. 4 pine tree, fully
seventy feet high, that stood by the road,
went down, and is top Is few feet be-
low the surface Of the ground, the sink
has filed up to,w!thn six or seven feet OF
the surface of the surrounding ground
with water, out OF which the tree-iop
stands some three feet. There seems to
have been a sinking also OF the surround
ing ground for distance OF fifty yards all
around the MARCIA OF the hole. The
water which has appeared in the sink is
OF a deep azure color and very clear.
This is not the first sink that has occurred
in this region, which is noted for lis beat
tiful lakes, within the last few years, an
other one having formed few wears ago,
about mile from this one On account
Of The light rainfall since LAST Autumn the
lake in that region are getting low, and
it is supposed tina; the water support TO
the vanlt of some sublerr4nean passage
from the nearest lake being no longer
present, the earth gave way and dropped

The Heart Broken Merchant.

The shrewdness and business capacity
that have made the Yankees the first OF
traders and promise to turn this country
into the workshop of the world, received
a striking and happy illustration the other
day. The scene was hereabouts; the
characters rising young merchant and
a pretty woman. He had an affection
for her, she liking for him, 50 they be-
came betrothed. After time she found
out that she didn't love him well enough
to marry him, and the match was broken
off. 1t was severe blow, and he stag
gered under it; but he fought well for
himself, protested that his lie was ruined,
asked if she could no. learn TO love him,
and in all ways did the proper thing.
She was immovable, however, and he sad
ly and reluctantly took his leave. While
his eyes were full OF gathering tears he
babe his faltering farewell, then closed the
door upon his hopes. a moment later
he opened it, stepped back into the room,
and, with tears in his voice, brokenly muir

His Own Executioner.

n remarkable case of lynching oc-
Cured at Cheyenne, Wyoming, on the
18th instant A man named Dug
Reed, obnoxious particularly to the citi
zens, was taken out of jail. Then, with
unusual courtesy, the lynchers allowed
Reed to select the method of death most
agreeable to him, and when he stated
that he would prefer to be hanged, they
went still further and allowed him to be
his own executioner. He took the rope
in his hand, climbed telegraph pole,
fastened one end round the TOP, and
formed a moose ON the other end. Then
he made his last dying speech, which
was short, being no more than Good
bye, boys" and jumping off, was
launched into eternity. Some coroner's
juries might find this to be a case of
suicide: but, to some extent, the crowd
at the foot of the pole must be consid-
cred as aiding and abetting.
