The sounds OF warning TO congress against
its rash legislation are swelling into chorus
which will soon make itself heard in the
Capitol. Every mail brings us piles Of ex-
changes filed with alarm at the tendency Of
public affairs. The article below, which we
copy from the Albany Evening Journal, a
thoroughly Republican party paper, and one
which abuses The PREsrDEST as heartily as any
radical could desire, reflects the sentiment
Of all thoughtful men in the North respect
ing the ruinous policy Of the demonstrative
"leaders" in Congress:


"sIoSs OF PANIC.


The daily figures Of the New York mar
ket report show that there is considerable
perturbation in the financial circles Of the
metropolis, and an evident distrust on the
part Of capitalists with reference to in
vestments. This is shown not only in the
rapid fluctuations of stocks, but even in the
quotations of staple goods, which have
grown almost as variable as fancy stocks.
Several important mercantile failures are
announced as having occurred during the
week, and these are followed by smaller sus-
pensions in various portions Of the country.


There is no sufficient commercial reason
for such state OF affairs as now exists, or
for the dangers which were threatened as
consequence. Money is abundant-more
plenty than is required by the necessities of
trade. The public demand has not dimin-
ished, but, on the contrary, rather increased,
since the opening Of the year. The secur-
ties Of the Government are surely stronger
now than they were year ago, and ought to
have been made more valuable by the ra-
pidity with which the public debt is being
met, and the certain prospects Of q speedy
reduction Of taxes. 1t is we'll remarked
therefore, that the prevailing trouble is not O
real, but sentimental panic.


THE cause Of the difficulty is probably tc
be found in the uncertainties with reference
to the future course Of Congress on the ques
tion Of impeachment. A very great ant

mcnt Of that body is beginning to prevail

HEMoRRHAGE IN EXTRACTING TEETH.
-Hemorrhage from extracting teeth is not
very frequent occurrence yet there are
cases when bleeding continues after extract
ing a tooth, for one, two, and even three
days, causing much anxiety and suffering.
1t is rare, however, that case ever proves
fatal yet it might possibly occur, and it is
necessary that every person should know
how 10 treat case if it should come under
their observation. The remedies are few
and simple, and can be had in every family.
The first remedy is to use freely of cold
water, held in the mouth, and copiously used
on the outside. This, in many cases, will
be sufficient; yet there are instances when
this will not answer In such case, take a
piece of cotton or lint, well soaked in =
strong solution of alum water, rolled up in
small, hard wad, and press it firmly up the
cavity Of the tooth, so as to reach the mouth
of the bleeding vessel, and at the same time
close your teeth upon and compress it, so as
to retain it in that position, where it should
be kept from two to twelve hours without
being removed. This remedy we have never
known to fail. 1t is simple, easily applied.
and within the reach of every person.

I LEARNED a good lesson when was little
girl, said a lady. One frosty morning l was
looking out of my fathers barn-yard, where
stood many cows, oxen and horses waiting to
drink. The cattle stood very still and meek
till one of the cows in attempting to turn round
happened to hit her next neighbor; whereupon
the neghbor kicked another. In five minutes
the whole herd were kicking each other in grand
fury. Ny mother laughed and said" See what
comes Of kicking when yeu are hit. Just so
have seen one cross word set whole family by
the ears some frosty morning" Afterwards, If
my brothers or myself were little irritable, she
would say-"Take care, my children remem-
Der how the fight in the barn-yarn began.
Never return Kick for q hit, and you will save
yourself and others great deal of trouble"

MANxERs.-Young folks should be mannerly;
but how to be SO is the question. Many good
boys and girls feel that they cannot behave to
suit themselves in the presence of company.
They are awkward, clownish, rough. They
feel timid, bashful, and self distrustful, the
moment they are addressed by stranger, or
appear in company. There is but one way to
cure this feeling and to acquire easy and gracer
full manners, and that is, to do the best they can
at home as we'll as abroad. We must be cour-
teous, agreeable, civil, kind, gentlemanly and
manly at home, and then it will become a kind
OF second nature everywhere. A coarse, rough
manner at home begsts a habit of roughness
which we cannot lay off if we try when we GO
among strangers. The most agreeable persons
we have ever known in company, were those
who were the most agreeable at home. Home
is the best school for all the best things.

PARASITES IN BIRD CAGEs.-From an exchange
we learn the following intelligence, which will
doubtless be found to be Interesting to many in
this city. Many person has seen pet canary
or other bird in state ofperturbation, pucking
at himself continually, his feathers standing all
wrong. In vain is his food changed, aud in vain
is saucer of clean water always kept in his
cage. The cause of his wretch edness has not
been found out. If the owner of a pet in such
difficulties viii take down the cage and look up
to tho roof thereof, there will most likely be
seen a mass of stuff like red rust. That red rust
is nothing more or less than myriads of parasites
infeSting the bird, and for which water is no
remedy. By procuring a'lighted candle and
holding it under every particle of the top of the
cage till all chance of anything being left alive
is gone, the remedy is complete. The pet will
soon brighten up again after his "houss warm
Ing."

A GAME OF EUCHRE-Several years

ore Of the down eastern ports, and not being
able to find employment in San Francisco
suited to his peculiar taste, was consequently
long time idle, and being of festive dis
position, at length found himself reduced to
his last fveldollar coin. He then proceeded
to Stockton (to certain institution at which
place he should have been forwarded some
time before, free of expense) and being still
unsuccessful in his search for work, con-
cluded to solace himself with few glasses
of whiiky, which he obtained by selling a
piece of clothing He became noisy, was
arrested for drunkenness, and sentenced to

so we'll as to be able finally to beat his
teacher in every game On Wednesday last,
after various ups and downs for, SO many
years, he walked into this city to look for
news from home. He had travelled all the
way from Virginia City on foot to see a
friend who had offered him the means with
which to pay his passage home. He re-
ceived the money-S150--met a laxative
individual at the - hotel, accompanied
him tn vacant building on the levee, and

THE NEW ATLAS OF THA sEAFh'


We are requested to state that the publ
cation of the new Atlas for this State is now
a fixed fact, and the work will be completed
with all possible despatch. The surveys
have all been made, and every matter oil ln-
terest or importance has been gathered, and
will be introduced in the work. Very much
information of local and statistical char
acter has been secured at considerable dim
Guilty and expense, and will be given in the
Atlas for the first time collectively TO the
reople of Delaware. Mr.. Upham, the agent
has made personal canvas of the whole
State, exhibiting his drawings and develop
ing his plans TO all who feel an interest III
the work and the result is that very large
subscription list has rewarded his efforts.
There are yet, hewever, many gentlemen in
this city and elsewhere who have not been
personally solicited, because of absence
from the city OF inability to find them at
home, who doubtless will want the Atlas
Mr. Upham desires us to say to such, as it
will not be possible for him TO remain long
enough to see them all, that If they will
leave or send their names and address to
this office they will receive due attention
and be placed on the list of subscribers. In
no other way than by subscription can the
work be obtained. The immense cost of its
publication will preclude the practicability
of the publishers printing larger number
than is actually subscribed for. The sub


scription price is ten dollars, and no one viii


be called upon to pay it until the work il


delivered. We feel satisfied that every ont


who may receive copy of the Atlas viii
admit that it is even more complete than h


had any reason to suppose, and that II


would not be without 1t for twice its sui

A MARTYR BIRD.-The following beautiful
incident is recorded in the Pittsburg Dispatch


The noble deeds of robin red breast have
been celebrated for generations in both song
aud story, and the tender sympathy which the
bird is supposed to feel for stray babes has
gained for it the highest opinion of the Occu-
pants of the nursery. A painful little circum-
stance, which will interest our young readers,
and at the same time serve to confirm their re-
gard for the robin, was brought to light after
the fire at the residence of NJ Calum, a week
or two ago. In a tree near by robin had
built her nest, and Matched her brood. The
birdingS were too young to fly, and although
the flames progressed, and the heat became
more and more intense, the mother bird refus-
ed to forsake her nest, and perished in her eff
forts to protect her little ones from harm. The
nest was afterwards discovered, and the parent
bird was found, with her little brood still un-
der her, but all were dead. What a wonder.
full instinct has the Creator bestowed upon this
little creature that would impel it to thus sac
rifce its own life, in a manner so peculiarly
painful, in its efforts to shield the helpless lit
tie ones committed to its charge Surely, many
men and women might learn Il lesson Of wis
dom from this martyr bird.

Among the current items of late
Washington gossip we notice q state
ment to the effect that there is no
foundation for supposing that any
changes in the Cabinet are at all proba-
bic. Another presents the same subject
Ia another light by declaring that the
President will, during the week, ap-
point successor to Mr. STANTON as
Secretary of War. The harmony of the
two statements is highly satisfactory.


We are further advised that the dis
cussion of GRANTS political status con-
TIMES with much vigor and animation.
FoRsEY emphatically adheres to his
original Interpretation of GRANTS views,
and claims to have authority for stating
that any other edition Of Appomatox
tree politics is thoroughly spurious. On
the other hand. the believers in GRANTS
conservstivism are industrious in re-
affirming their re-affirmation of their
side of the question. Probably there is
more reliability in third idea now
expressed to the effect that political
views which are so much in doubt
must be very questionable in their
character. To complete the mystifica-

timing his position, in view of the efforts
put forthin that direction by his infuen-
