BILL REGULATING APPELLATE JURIS-
DICTIoN OF SUPREME CoURT.-The Chief
Justice and Associate Justices of the
Supreme Court have all approved the bill
introduced by Senator Trumbull to fur
ther regulate the appellate jurisdiction of
the Supreme Court, and to prevent the
delay of cases. The bill provides that no
appeal shall be taken to the Supreme Court
in cases where the matter in dispute is less
than five thousand dollars, the present law
fixing the amount at two thousand dollars.


1t takes away the power of the Court to
decide questions of fact, and leaves its duty
only to decide on questions of law. In
criminal cases it authorizes review of
such questions of law arising in inferior
Courts as these Courts may deem of suffi-
cient Importance to be certified in the Su-
preme Court for decision. "a.

The Predicament They Will BE In.


We pity the future state upon earth
OF those misguided politicians, lately
claiming to be Democrats, who have
resolved to stand by the treachery OF
John J. Jacob. Let us examine little
into the predicament in which they are
placing themselves.


The very best possible combination
of results for their interests will be, the
election of Grant and the defeat Of the
new Constitution. The latter result
will carry with it the defeat Of Camden
and Of the entire Democratic State tick,
ct. In that state of affairs (Which,
AZ we have said, is the very
best for them,) where will they
find themselves Why, in a
position where they can reap no benefits
except from the Grant Radical party
and they must violate every promise
they now make, must turn tail on every
political principle they profess, must
turn their coats and "slop" clean over,
before they can even hope for advance
ment from that quarter. Even with
that dsgraceful bemeanment to the
dogs level, the chances are ten to one
that they will be contemptuously kick
ed aside to give place to the hungry
truly loil.


But then, there is not the slightest
reasonable prospect OF such a state Of
affairs. The indications are unmistaka.
Bile that Horace Greeley. and not U. S.
Grant, will be elected next President
and this whether West Virginia be car.
ried for the Democracy or not.


What, then, will be the position Of
the quack politicians referred to? They
will simply have checked the Democra.
cy emporarily in the Inauguration of
the great and invaluable reforms en-
bodied in the new Constitution. That
is all. They themselves will be
despised by the party they have
betrayed, whilst the party for whom
they played traitor will not be able,
even if willing, to reward their treason.
So long as a national administration
.is in power which will guard the
rights of the State and prevent the
tamperipg with elections, West Vir-
glnia is as securely Democratic as are
her mountains to stand. Defeat the
new Constitution now, and the people
will know that it has been done through
treachery, and the corrupt, deceitiul
combinations OF desperate politicians.
The people will renew the contest for
reform; the new Constitution wiH inep
itably get be adoptedl and those recre-
ant men Of the Democratic party who
sold their principle in the hope Of self
ish gain, or for the price OF spite, will
be consigned to the lasting contempt Of
an honest people.

The reports from North Carolina are
various and conflicting. Both parties
claim the State by large majorities, and
on both sides the efforts are strong. We
caution the opponents of Grant not to

the immense sums of money at command,
aud the large fields from which to i'm
port negro voters, we think the chances
are that the State may be carried by the
enemy. We shall attach no significance
to such results, however, for in Novem
ber the negroes imported for present use
there will be needed at home, and the re-
suit may be altogether different.

Raising potatoes from the seed is, &C
cording to the Agriculturist, an interest
ing but not very encouraging field for
experiment. We have now many fine
potatoes, and one who raises from the
seed must produce something better
than any we now have to make his Ia
Dor remunerative. Nevertheless expe-
riments are not to be discouraged. Po-
tato seed is that which is produced in
balls which are found upon the vines.
From the seed contained in these there
is no probability of getting potatoes like
the parent tuber, and each of the many
seeds a ball contains may produce a
widely different one from the same ball.
and in this manner new varieties are
produced. The ball of the potato Sc
lected for seed should be from the
earliest set upon the vines; this, when
ripened as much as can be upon the
stem, should be cut. with good por-
ton of the vine, and placed in the sun
to mature. In spring the geeds are to
be sown, and the plants treated precise
ly like tomato plants. Sow in hot
bed, or in box in the house, and, when
large enough, transplant to other boxes,
and when the weather will allow, plant
in good soil -of-doors.-Harper

A correspondent of the Maine Far
mer writes as follows how to treat COWS
that kick and switch their tails: l
purchased, few years since, an excel
lent COW, but, as her former owner in
formed me, "she would kick out a
double shuttle frequently while being
milked," which soon found to be the
fact. bowed her up in a horse stall,
fixed piece of hardwood plank across
the stall, SO that it rested about six
inches from the floor, and two inches
forward of her hind feet. She soon
found the sharp edge of the plank
was injured less than her shins, and af-
ter few trials abandoned her bad habit
of kicking. 1 had another cow who
kept a. continual switching of her tail
while being MIXED. 1 placed small
pole across the top of the stall, bored a
hole in board near the end, placed a
wire ring through it, slipped the pole
through the ring, so that the board
hung about two feet from the floor, at
the side of the cows near hind leg. She
can pound the board with her caudal
appendage all she pleases without in
convenience to her milker. The ring
slides on the pole, and the board can be
showed aside when not needed.

The following anecdote, extracted
from unpublished memoirs of French
nobleman, may, it is hoped, serve as an
example, we'll worthy of being initiated
by all who desire to be thought only
brave and courageous. 1t records an
instance of victory gained by a man
over his own passions-victory more
glorious, more honorable than any that
has ever been purchased with fire and
sword, with devastation and blood
shed.


laise and the Count de Meric, were edu-
Gated under the same masters, and
were regarded by all who knew them as
patterns of friendship, honor and sensi-
bility. Years succeeded years, and no
quarrel had ever disgraced their at
tachment, when one unfortunate even
ing, the two friends, having INDUCED
rather freely in some excellent burgun-
dy, repaired to neighboring hotel, and
engaged in a game of backgammon.
Fortune declared herself in favor of the
Marquis he won every game, and in
the thoughtless glee OF the moment,
laughed with exultation at his unusual
good luck. The Count lost his temper,
and once or twice upbraided the Mar
quis for enjoying the pain which he had
excited in the bosom of his friend. At
last, upon another fortunate throw
made by the Marquis, by which he
gammoned his antagonist, the infuriat-
ed Count threw the box and dice in the
face of his brother soldier.


Every gentleman present was in
amazement, and waited, almost breath
lessly, for the moment when the Mar
quis would sheathe his sword in the DO
som of the now repentant Count.


Gentlemen" said the Marquis, I" 1
am q Frenchman, soldier, and
friend. 1 have received blow from a
Frenchman, soldier, and friend.
l know and acknowledge the laws of
honor, and 1 will obey them. Every
man who sees me wonders why 1 am
tardy in visiting with vengeance the
author of my disgrace. But, gentle
men, the heart of that man is entwined
with my own; our education was the
same, our principles are alike, and our
friendship dates from our earliest
years. But, Frenchmen, will obey the
laws of honor and France; 1 will stab
him to the heart"


Upon this, he threw his arms around
his unhappy friend, and said: "My
dear De Meric, forgive you, if you will
forgive me for the irritation l have oc-
casioned in a sensitive mind, by levity
of my own. And now, gentlemen"
added the Marquis, though L have in
terpreted the laws of honor in my own
way, if there remains in this room one
Frenchman who dares to doubt my
resolution to resent even an. improper
smile, my sword by my side to punish
an affront, but not to murder my friend,
for whom 1 would die, and who sits
there q monument of contrition and
bravery, ready with me to challenge
the rest of the room to deadly combat

occurs Immediately upon freezing, which
is regarded as a proof that life then
ceases.

That makes the sea the sea.

A mountain, so to speak;
The little atoms of sand and earth
Have made its peak a peak,
Not all at once the morning streams
The gold above the gray:

In purples, reds and greens;
Springs whole bright retinue it takes
To make her queen of queens.
Upon the orchard rain must fall


And soak from branch to root,
And blossoms bloom and fade withal
Before the fruit is fruit.

And wait the wheaton bread;
Then cradle, thresh and go to mill,
Before the bread is bread.

PRoGREss OF THE REvoLUToN-A
new light dawned upon the world with the
introduction of Plantation Bitters twelve
years ago Drastic purgation went out
restoration and renovation came in. The
eyes of the people were opened to the
great fact that the way to cure disease is
to strengthen its victims, not to place them
at its mercy by depriving them of the little
strength they have 1t soon became evi-
dent that as a means of intusing vitality
into the feeble system, regulating the Sc
cretions, curing indigestion, and reforming
bilious habit of body, no medical prepar-
alton then known was at all comparable
to the new restorative. Since then hum
dreds Of attempts have been made to rival
the Bitters They have all failed and the
Grand Revolution in Medical Treatment,
which was commenced in 1860, is still in
progress. Nothing can stop it, for it is
founded on the principle, now universally
acknowledged, that physical vig0r is the
most formidable antagonist of all human
ailments, and experience has shown that
Plantation Bitters, is peerless invigorant
as well as the best possible safeguard
