SENATOR STEWART on THE UNION PARTY.-Sen-
ator Stewart, of Nevada, in his address at San
Francisco last Tuesday evening. spoke as follows
of the Union party;


The Federal Administration demands our cor
dial support and earnest encouragement of the
entire Union party during its present arduous
investigation of the most embarrassing and per-
picking questions that eve- engaged the human
intellect. 1t shudders in fear and dismay at all
efforts to commit that faithful and self-sacrihcing
party to immature and doubtful positions that
may frttcr away and distract its strength, to the
elevation to power of the enemies of the Govern
ment. 1t will be full and ample time for Union
loving citizens to array themselves in opposition
to the policy of the Government when that policy
has assumed distinctive form, and become fully
revealed.


Permit me to say to the Union party, in con-
cusion, that in the blood and carnage and
horrors of the past, your united front and har-
monious ranks rescued our beloved and glorious
country from destruction, will like unanimity
of sentiment and concord of action successfully
conduct it through the severe trials of the present
into a future career of unmoested peace and
unprecedented prosperity.

GEN. SLocUM on THE PRIVATE SoLDIER-When
Gen. Slocum was welcomed to his home at Syr
acuse, New York, recently, he paid the following
compliment to the private soldiers Of the army :


The field OF battle is not the only test of cour-
age and manliness in the life of Il soldier. The
long and fatiguing marches, the labor in the
trenches, the short allowance of food, are all
tests as severe as any presented by battle
have men of my command, after working
waist deep in water, building bridges over the
rivers and roads through the swampS of the Car
olinas, go quietly to their tents, and without a
change of clothing, make an ear of corn supply
the usual ration. ! have seen this frequently


and never yet heard word Of complaint. Hap
PLY, all these things are over. The SOL
dier's work is done and well done. They return
to you better men, physically and mentally, than
when they left you and am confident you will
find the great mass of them uninjured in morals.
Open your shops to them, give them good en-
ployment. and am certain you will find them
as faithful citizens they have been as soldiers.

An affecting incident occurred at
the fire which consumed Boutel's Hotel
Bay City, Michigan, on Thursday morn
ing last. A lady boarder who occupied
rooms on the third floor, became some
what excited when the alarm of fire was
given, and went.down stairs to discover
its whereabouts, leaving her infant
child asleep in bed. In the confusion
she forgot it until the flames had COM
plete possession Of the hotel She then
attempted to enter the building to res
cue it but was prevented. The fremen
and others, in saving the furniture, threw
the bedding out Of the windows. This
Identical bed was rolled up, thrown out
Of the window, and carried with the
other goods onto the bridge for safety.
After the fire, in removing the goods
the little innocent was found safe and
fast asleep.

Oh, Columbia, the gem Of the ocean,
The home of the brave and the free;
The shrine of each patriots devotion,
The world offers homage to thee.
Thy mandates make heroes assemble,
When liberty's form stands in view;
Thy banners make tyranny tremble,
When borne by The red, white and blue


CHORUS.


When borne by the red white and blue
When borne by the red, white and blue
Thy banners make tyranny tremble,
When borne by the red, white and blue
When war waged its wide desolation,
And threatened our land to deform,
The ark then Of freedoms foundation,
Columbia rode safe through the storm,
With her garland Of victory Ger her,
When SO proudly she bore her brave crew,
With her flag proudly floating before her,
The boast Of the red white and blue.


The boast, &c.
The wine cup, tie wine cup, bring hither,
And fill you il up to the brim,
May the memory ofWashington meier wither,
Nor the star Of his glory grow dim.
May the service united ne'er sever,
And each to our colors prove true;
The army and navy forever,


Three cheers for the rcd white and blue.


Three cheers, &c.

have in days gone by acted with the
so-called Union party. Ihave heretofore
been on most friendly terms with each
and all of the candidates Of that party
fol the House of Delegates from this
county, but l have made up my mind to
vote the clean Democratic ticket for the
following reasons:


On last Sunday one OF two of the can
didates were base and wicked at heart
enough to actually distribute at coun-
try church Bingham's speech and other
documents of kindred character. When
a party becomes so depraved and lost to
every principle of morality as to permit
its candidates to SO desecrate the Lords
day, / am done with it. In addition 70
the above have the disgraceful outrage
perpetrated ON the gentlemen from
Wheeling who attended the Democratic
meeting at Ritchietown on Monday night
TO complain of. When I heard of the
dastar,lly conduct of the infamous
wretches who sought the. lives of these
gentlemen, naturally expected that
every sensible republican in the county
would be anxious to ferret out the names
of the hellish spirits. They manifest,
however. no anxiety upon the subject.
The reporter of their organ was on the
ground and saw what took place, but
had no word of reproval or condemna-
ton. Under these circumstances would
forfeit my selfrespect did I continue with
that party any longer.

ANTI-SLAvERY PRoGREss IN KEN
TUcKY.-The Louisville Journal, SO long
known for its conservative views, has al
length come out openly for immediate
emancipation. AT the close Of a recent
editorial it says:


"The rebellion is bound to disappear
before the overwhelming power of the
Federal arms, and the slavery system,
for the maintenance of which the war
was ostensibly commenced, is to pass
away by the solemn fiat of the nation
Here in Kentucky slavery exists only as
a nominal institution. 1t Is no longer a
source of value, and it would be worse
than folly for the State to make strug>
gle for its preservation. Our present
Legislature, fairly looking the future
the irresistible future-in the face, should
not delay 70 ratitytse anti-siarery amend
nlent. If the present Legislature do not
adopt this course, the neat ,cM Ken
tucky is bound to become a free State

delay in settling the question can only
eomplicate the process by which she
will reach that destiny"

SCREENING ON NUTs.-We have some
times known nuts to be found so tight
that no wrench would remove them
This was because they had been held in
the hand till they became warm, and be-
ing then applied to very cold screws in
winter, they contracted by cooling off and
thus held the screw with an immovable
grasp. Always avoid putting a warm
nut on a cold screw; and to remove it.,
apply large heated iron in contact with
the nut, so as to expand it, and it will
loosen at oncc-or cloth wet with boil

REMARKABLE SAGAcITY.-The fol-
lowing instance Of animal intelligence is
from French journal;


10 lie Nord, it is related that a cook
was recently greatly peFplexed by the
disappearance, day after day, of a outlet
or steak from the kitchen table when
she was preparing the dinner. 10 each
days tale there was deficiency Of one.
At last it occurred to her that, as the bell
was rung every day while she was pre-
pairing dinner, and when she went TO the
door there was nobody there, there must
be some connection between the two
circumstances. Once this idea had en-
tered her mind, she determined to satisfy
herself on the point. The bell rang at
the usual time, but instead of answering
it, she hid herself in a cupboard. She
had hardly done so before cat rushed
into the kitchen, sprang on to the table,
siezed a outlet in ts mouth, and vanish
ed. Her mistress was made acquainted
with this feIonious act on the part of the
animal, and il was determined to set a
watch to see who il was that had trained

it to this mode ofrobbery. The discovery
was soon made. AT the usual time when
the cook had her dishes arranged for the
table, the concealed watcher saw the cat
creep stealthily towards the bell-wire,
book her claws in it, give it furious pull
and then rush away kitchen wards.

INTERESTING CHEMICAL FACTs.-A platIna
crucible is made and maintained red hot over
a large spirit lamp. Some sulphurous acid
is poured into it. The acid, though at a
common temperature one of the most volatile
known bodies, possesses the singular proper
ty of remaining fixed in the redhot crucible,
and not drop of it evaporates in fact it Is
not in contact with the crucible, but has an
atmosphere of its own interposed. A few
drops of water are now added to the sulphur
Gus acid in the red hot crucible. The diluted
acid gets into immediate contact with the
heated metal, instantly flashes off, and such
is the rapidity and energy of the evaporation
that the water remains behind and is frozen
into lump of ice in a hot crucible from which,
seizing the moment before it again melts it
may be thrown out before the eyes of the
astonished observer. This is indeed 9 a
piece of natural magic" and as much like a
miracle as any operation of the forces of
nature could produce. 1t is certainly one of
the most singularly beautiful experiments
Imaginable. 1t was devised by French
savan to illustrate the repelant power of
heat radiating from bodies at a high temper
ature, and of the rapid abstraction of heat
produced by evaporation.

A SINGULAR case is occupying the attention
of Judge Squires, in the Probate Court. A
man named Mayors died. and by will be-
queathed his property, mostly real estate, to
his wife. Before his will was probated, she
died, leaving a will devising the property to
a relative in Germany non resident alien.
Both wills are now presented for probate {;
but the Public Administrator claims that the
alien cannot inherit, (which is undoubtedly
the fact,) and that therefore the property
reverts to the State. As there is son OF the
husband in the State, who is understood to be
a citizen, counsel claim that the will being
null and void, he is the heir-at law, as though
no will had been made The Judge will
render a decision in a day or two-PGeer-
