HOG CHoLERA-CoAL FOR CURE.-A Western farm
er SAYS: He is convinced that bituminous coal is
sure preventive of hog cholera. He has four hogs
that will average 800 pounds live weight each and
now about seven months old some three months
since he began to feed them daily with coal. and to
determine the amount consumed, weighed it. For
the first twenty days they consumed IA pounds each
during the past month he has resumed weighing
again, and finds that they eat two pounds each. He
thinks this daily feeding keeps them in more
healthy condition. They have desire to root like
other hogs this coal supplies what they would get
from the soil. He also contends that the cutting of
the snouts to prevent roofing is barbarous. positive
destruction of the health of the porker. The
hog does not root simply for the fun of the
thing, but to supply want of the system, and as
coal answer the purpose, he ceases root and lies

Our correspondent H, in Fridays is

remarks in our number of Sunday 18th
on ''the wiser course" criticises some
what the correctness of our intimation
that the Constitution of the United
States not now in existence, an pro-
ceeds to intimate that not only was
there no right of secession, but that the
right of revolution did not exist on our
part, in that it was not prompted "by in
saferable wrong and oppression


r We do not intend here to enter into
any discussion of these topics, not deem
ing this "the wiser course" but would
say that III. does not entertain any high
er regard for the Constitution of the
United States, or for those depBrted
statesmen and patriots, Washington and
Jefferson, than we do. We only regret
that they and their constitution could
not have survived to our day. II. seems
to think that because the law of God





remains in force, Notwithstanding its
constant violation, the laws of men do
also. Does heregard the Constitution of
the French Republic of 1s4s as having
now any vitalitality or those of Mexico
and of the South American republics,
nominally in existence but never obeyed
when they conflict with the retention Oh
obtaining of absolute powers


The object of constitutions in all gov
emments is to protect the weak against
the strong to restrain power, whether
in the possession of few or of the many
from iniuring those who are without it
and to interposs barriers and checks
against its suppression or violation
Whenever it ceases to do this it is val
ueless. Paralysis is not indeed death
but when it continues for series of years
and no remedial efforts are made TO re
store vitality to the deadened limbs o
the scarcely pulsating heart, the bod!

WHIsTLING.-Next to laughing, whistling
is one of the most philosophical things in
which fellow of good spirits can indulge.
Whistling is popular prescription for keep

well said on this subject; f'Whistling is n
great institution. 1t oils the wheel of care,

whistles has good heart under his shirt

willingly, but he works more constantly. A
whistling cobbler will earn as much money
again as cordwainer who gives way to low
spirits and indigestion. Mean or avaricious

There are two eAtrances-one on Fifth
avenue, and the other on Thirty-fourth
street. We can give at this time only
very brief description of those and the other
parts of the building. The entrance on
Fifth avenue, which is by fight of marble
steps, is hanked by two columns of twenty
five feet in height. This entrance is in the
place of one of four windows, which appear
on the upper stories, where they are, like
the door, ornamented with columns, but
smaller, according TO the height of the story,
and less marked. The windows ON the first
story are about eighteen feet high, by six or
seven feet in width, and are capped with
circular arches. The center of each holds
a head in relief encircled with elegant cary
ing and tracery. The carving and orna-
mentation Of the upper stories become by
degrees less elaborate. The side, or rather
front, on Thirty-fourth street, having an ex-
panse OF eighty feet by one hundred and
twenty feet affords an opportunity for a
more imposing architectural display. There
are five windows ON the first floor, the en-
trance occupying the place Of a sixth and

mentations in their various grades, CORES

tFrom the Buffalo Con mercial Advertiser


Tt seems that Mr.. Beeeher is already beginning to
reap the reward Of his bold and conscientious posi-


ton in regard to the Presidents reconstruction pol
cy. He is already being assaiied with il-concealed
fury by those extremists with whom he was lately
supposed to be in such close communion. They can
pardon any heresy 0f religion rather than Of politics.
His renunciati0n ofa belief in the orthodox hell was
very trivial matter compared with his later amos
acy to the radical creed involved in his approv! of
the President and his policy.


We learn that he is already being assaiied by his
con}reres and disciples. with bitterness and fury
scarcely less than that which is directed against the
President. A New York paper says We're he in
the Presidents place there would be no personal
SANDER too foul to heap upon him. As it is if he
continues to defend the Constitution, we have no
doubt he will soon be shown to be the personal in
his pulpit it will be because his congregation do not
altogether credit all they read or hear. We may say
gravey, however, that the sort of passionate vtu-
peration now INDUCED in so extensively, s rather a
poor, though perhaps convenient, substitute for
reason and common sense"


So the world goes. Mr.. Beecher achieved his fame
by being bold and showing his Observation-Disclosures
ence the etete dOgmas which controlled the rest of
the pulpit teachers of his communion. Because he
had the maniness to get out of the old ruts of con-
yentiOnal faith, he either admired and approved
or mildly excused eccentric. But for daring to be
