I rend last night of the Grand Review | 1® Washington's chiefest avenue— -1 wo hundred thousand men in blue ! I think they said was the number— Till I seemed to hear their trampling feet. The bugle's blast and the drum's quick beat, The clatter of hoofs in the stony street, j The cheers of people who came to greet, And the thousand details that to repeat Would only my verse encumber— Till I fell in a reverie, sad and sweet, i And then to a fitful slumber. When, lo ! in a vision I seemed to stand In the lonely Capitol. On each hand Far stretched the portico, dim and grand, Its columns ranged like a martial band j Of sheeted spectres, whom some command Had called to a fast reviewing; j And the streets of the city were white and bare; j No loot fall echoed across the square, j But out of the misty midnight air ■I heard in the distance a trumpet blare, Aad the wandering night-winds seemed to bear The sound of a far tattooing. Then I held by breath with fe.r and dread, For into the square, with a brazen tread | There rode a figure whose stately head O'erlooked the review that morning. I That never bowed from its firm-set seat Vr hen the living column passed its feet, let now rode stately up the street To the (thantorn bugle's warning: Till it reached the Capitol square, and wheeled, | And there in the moonlight stood revealed A well-known form that in state and fie'd Had led our patriot sires : \\ hose face was turned to the sleeping camp, j Afar through the river's fog and damp, That showed no flicker, nor waning lamp, Nor wasted bivouac fires. | And I *aw a phantom army come, j IV ith never a sound of fife or drum, But keeping time to a throbbing hum Of wailing and lamentation: The martyred heroes of Malvern Hill, Of Gettysburg and Chancellor.-villt, The men whose wasted figures fill The patriot graves of the nation. And there came the nameless dead—the men Who perished in fever-swamp and fen, j The slowly.starved of the prison pen; And, marching beside the others, ! Came the dusky martyrs of Pillow's fight, With limbs enfranchised and hearing bright: I thought—perhaps 'twas the pale moonlight— They looked a.- white as their brothers! And so all night marched the nation's dead With never a banner above them spread, Nor a badge, nor a motto brandished: . No mark—save the bare uncovered head Of the silent bronze Reviewer— With never an arch save thfe vaulted sky, With never flower save those that lie On the distant graves—for love could buy No gift that was purer or truer. So all night long swept the strange array, So all night long till the morning gray I watched for one who had passed away. With a reverent awe and wonder— Till a blue cap waved in the lengGi'ning line, And I knew that one who was kin of mine Had come, and I spake—aad lo! that sign Awakened mo from my slumber. Apolitical NASBY. .1 Conference at the Corners —Joe Bigler s ; may of building a lVatform and his ; Failure. POST OFFIC E CONFEDRIT X ROADS, ) (Wich is in tho Stait uv Kentucky,) June 6th IS6B. ) We had a little consultashen at the Cor ners one day last week on the subjick uv a platform for the ensooin Nashnel Conven shen. We hed present, ntinglitt in sweet accord with us, a Demokrat from Injcany, one from Illinoy, one from Noo York, one from Connecticut, and one from Pennsyl vany. Ez we wuz a consultin—a sort of a feelin our way —Joe Uigler came in. ITo pin to smooth the cuss down, I to wunst interdoost him ez a Confedrit soljer, where upon the Northern friends with less sense that I spo.-ed men cood possess, sprung to their feet and shakin him vociferusly by the J hand, swore they were proud to meet him, i and m.-istid on furnishiu him with ail the flooids he cood consoom that nite anyhow. And they to-wunst make known the suhjick uv ther bein there and invitid him to join em. "Certainly," said Joseph, "certainly. Let me see how we will go at this thing, j You are from several different Stairs, and I it is barely possible that ther may be a slite j difference uv opinion—not enuff to eggcite any onpleasantnis. but still enuff to kind o' mar the general ononis, the sweet harmony uv soles in unisoD. Let me sejest that the j parson's hat be sot onto the table—Bascom, ; yoo euss, wipe orf the likker that's spilled ; onto it—and that yoo write eaeh on a slip ! the opinyons yoo hold and drop em in, that when they are took out and compared they ! may be filed down ez it were, and the sharp corners rasped orf —that thev may be sort uv am&lgumated into once sweet smellin whole. Is it a go?' They all agreed. Dcekin Pograra, Eider Punt and Leaker Gavitt declined to jitie in, for reasons obvus to all who knowed em, but Capt. McPelter and I, who kin rite, represented the Corners. "Now," sed this Joseph, winkin vishusly at Pollock, who had dropped in a minit afore, "we will prepare our little opinyuns on the subjict uv 'The Nigger!' " The entire Lillin of cm rote bizzy for fif teen minits, each droppin his lucubrashens into the hat ez he finished. "Mr. Pollock, will you extract these droppins uv wise minds and read em?" "Certinly," sed Pollock. "Certinly. Here is the first." "I am opposed to cxtendin any rites to the Afrikin because he is naterally inferior to the white—so inferior, indeed, that all the trainin and edueashen that cood be squandered onto him wood not bring a fully matoored one up to to the level uv an aver age white child uv 14. To give the ballot to sich wood be a dangerous percedin. wich every lover uv liberty sbood frown onto severely. "JETIIUO L. KIITLNS, UV Uiinoys. "'Bully !" sung out Bigler. "I am opposed to givin the Afrikan the ballot, bccoz when he hez it ofcoorse he wiil be eligible to orfis, and will undoubtedly be se- j lectcd to fill the most prominent posisbens. Itnagin!

"DENNMS O'SHAUUUNESSY. uv Noo York." "Bully agin!', shouted Biglar; but some how the rest of them dind't shout 'bully." They begun to look puzzled. Pollock pulled again. "I am opposed to elevate the nigger, bc coz there is a natural repugnanc, a heven given, ineradicable conflict between the races. The nigger, with his black .-kin, thick lips, kinky hair, and disgustin odor, eggcites loathin, eonteiupt and skoru in the bosom uv every white, pertikerly uv ihe proud Cauca.-Jien females.

The gentleman from Ohio wanted to j .3 iloral anft General flrtospaprv, Drbotrti to i?olitirs, ©tmcation, Eitcraturr anU fttovals. withdraw hizzen and revise it, but Bigler prevented him. "I agree with my esteem ed friend Pepper," sed Bigler, "ez to the characteristics uv the Afrikin and the nat eral loathing wich eggsists in the bosom uv every well regulated Caucashem But I dis agree with him ez to the impossibility uv the proud Caucashen aforesaid scalin it. Deekin, hez it ever been scaled in this vicin ity? Let not eko, but the hundreds of valler niggers in these parts anser. Pollock, go on " "I am opposed to elevatin the nigger for the reason that if onct releesed from ihe disabilities the law imposes, be at once be j cums our ekul. Wat follows? Do wc want niggers for our sons-in law? Do we hanker after female niggers lor our diughters-in law ? Wood any ptoud Caucashen want a nigger woman for a step mother? I de maud, not only the continyooance uv the laws we have agin inarryin niggers, but more stringenter ones. I call upon my common country to protect us from nigger ekality. "SETH MAWBF, DV Ohio." "Spoken like a man and a Demokrat, ez : yoo air," said Bigler. "llere is another and a potent reasou agin givin the nigger his rites. They grow on our hands. Let us keep the run uv cm. First, ez he is so much below us he can't be educated. Sec ond, we must prevent him from being edu ! eated, for fear of bis bein our ekal. Third, nacher made him too disgustin to approach ' us. Fourth, we must hev laws to prevent ius from marry in him. Here is richness iti | deed. Go on, Pollock— go on." "I pertest agin this," sed 1, seein to ; where this insane cuss wuz leadin us. "I pertest agin continyooin this any farther." "Not a bit uv use, Parson. There are several other opinyuns in the hat, wich we will hev. Pull eui, Pollock." "I, ez a citizen nv Connecticut, am op posed to given the nigger rites in that Siait, becoz, incapable ez he is of intelligent labor, naterally indolent, careless shiftless, and cussed ez he ez, he kin never be made to work save when forced to do it ez a slave. He wood cum north in droves and fill our almshouses and jails, and be to heavy a bur den for our overtaxed people. "ZEPIIANIA SCTPDER, uv Connecticut." "Percced, Pollock," sed Bigler.

P. Y EAGER, uv Ponnsylvany." Pollock and Bigler laft vociferously and uproariously, and the others looked ez un comfortable as men cood. It hed gone too j fur alreddy, and I seezed my hat and emp ; tied wat remained onto the floor. "f?ir!" sed I, lookin Bigler thro and' ; thro, "yoor conduct is reprehensible in the extreme.

"We felt that it wuz ncssary that suthin \ ; be agreed upon in this nigger Question. It's j , bin a tough thing to handle ever sense 1 ; knowd anything about it; and I wanted to harmonize our vitws ami put em in a shape to meet and anser the objeekshuns uv our ; common foe —the Ablisbnists. I confess I • wuz disappointed. There are reasons enuff : lor deprivin the nigger uv rites, but some 1 { how they don't hang together. Thus, I've ; i found one patriot opposes elevatin eru Le : ooz they're incapable naterally uv bein ed ; dikutid—another demands laws agin their being eddikatid, bccoz, ef they are given : half a chance, they'll take ail the offices in I the gift uv the people—eacther, beeoz ; they're so disgustingly made be uaeher ez 1 to eggseite loathing and disgust—cuother, ' j beeoz, ef tbey hev this one privilege, laws . will be required to keep our wimmeu from marry in uv em —enother, beeoz he won't work, ccptin he's forced to —arid still enoth ! er, beeoz he is so naterally adapted to work that he'll underwork tlie whites, and set em adrift. Among all these reasons, he wood be hard to soot, indeed, who cocdu't find | one that wood soot him. But somehow they're tangled; one mind can't take cm all ; in. They don't seem to jibe, and in at temptin to sort uv reconcile and arrange em in logical order, and get em to dove tale to- ' ! gelher, I'm all tore up, and so is Pollock. : I wuz pleased with the first, third, and fifth reasons, but, alas ! the second, fourth, and sixth upsot cm. Ef I tie to the second, ; fourth and sixth, I am confronted with the i first, third and fifth, and ez they are all A 1 Dimocrisy, what is Pollock and me to do? j Reely, we are at sea without a rudder or compass, and unless rescood, may float into j the harbor uv Ablisbnism, wich, not hevin but one idea, is easily comprehended. 1 must sleep on this, and ez it is time that we I seek our virchus couches, Bascum will shct: up." And the cuss turned us out, and saw Bas eurn lock the doors before he left. Suth : in will yet happen to this Bigler. PETROLEUM V. NASUY, P. M., (Wich is Postmaster.) GRANT AND WASHIIUKNE. The Washington correspondent of the ; j ( jnvelaud Lead'-r says: Recently I met Mr. Eliliu B. Washburne and his brother, the | General. You are acquainted with their faces, earnest, energetic, clear-headed, posi tive men, with large frames. They began in Maine, where many Washburues live at : present. They have risen, to a large extent, j j independently of each other, and by no j means agree in small issues. Elihu B. ' Washburne has been a consistent, kindly, : and admiring friend of General Grant. He has been accused of taking no notice of Grant j iin Galena, but Grant was a new-comer there, and Washburne was away from home I in Congress three-fourths of the year. Grant's father sent for his son not long be | fore the war, and offered him eight hundred j dollars a year to take charge of his leather 1 and hide business. Grant went to work, made few acquaintances, and was one of the most unknown men in Galena. When the ! war began, Washburne stirred himself to raise a company in Galena, and as it was | known to a few that Grant had been a Cup- \ I tain in tl[u army, he was looked to as the , BEDFORD, PA., F&I proper man to be chairman. Mr. Wash burne described to me this hard-working, commonly-dressed man, with an old. faded dragoon cloak upon his shoulders, mounting to the bench of the Court House, and stat ing theobjeet of the meeting. When the company was raised Grant was found to be perfect in all the details of equipping it, from boots to buttons. Washburne, Grant and the rest took the company down to Springfield. There, with scanty means, paying three dollars a day for board, Grant waited the disorganized process of the State authorities, with Dick Yates, impracticable as now, at the head of the State. Finally Grant said to Washburne: "I can do nothing here; T am running short; I shall go home and go to work. "Hold on!" said Washburne. At last Grant was placed in the Adjutant General's Department, and by happy luck was one day placed at the head of a regiment afflicted with a drunken Colonel. Ho began the fame which has gone round the world. Washburne's relations with Grant are nothing more than those between two friends Washburne finds in Grant latent abilities developing every day, powers coming out of bis modesty like a bee's nest in a violet bed. He had no aid whatever itt writing any of his letters or battle bulletins. The celebra ted dispatch: "I will fight it out on this line if it takes all summer," was brought from: Spottsylvauia to Washington in Mr. W aslt burne's pocket. He said to Grant as ht quitted the field: "General, have you any message to send up to the War Department?" "I guess not," said Grant. "I think it would ba well," returned Washburne, "if you sent some little word up to the people." "Verv well. " General Grant sat down in the tent, and as quickly as he could transcribe, and with out reading the message over, gave it to Washburne, sealed. The latter came to Belle Plain, took a boat, lauded at the Navy Yard, rode in a horse-car to the War De partment, where he found cvery-body blue and doubtful, and delivered the letter to Stanton. That simple bulletin thrilled the country and went into the epigrammatic lit erature of mankind. So with General Grant's letter, responsive to his nomination at Chicago. People were saying among themselves: Somebody ought to give Grant adv ice about that letter. He might put his foot in it. That letter is vi tal." "Never mind, said Washburne, "he'll do it uji right." Aud without Jabor. spontaneously, cleri cally, Grant wrote the letter, which is more to the point and more electrical than any mere platform in the history of politicians. Washburne's regard for Grant is not that of a father, nor close as a brother's. It is the same admiration, only bettor informed, that the country lias in the General-in-ehief. lie admires Graut's simplicity, introspec tion, sincerity, and capacity for every new occasion. tttiscftouw-. NEWSPAPER PATRONAGE. The Hancock (O.) Courier completely explains the situation of things in the fol lowing article in regard to newspaper patron age: "Many long and weary years of experience in the publishing business, has forced the conviction upon us that newspaper patron age is a word of many definitions, and that a great majority of mankind are either igno rant of the correct definition or are dishon est, in a strict biblical sense of the word. Newspaper patronage is couiftoscd of as ma ny colors as the rainbow, and is as changea ble as the chameleon. One man comes in and subscribes for the paper and pays for it in advance, and goes home and reads it with the proud satisfac tion that it is his. He hands in his adver tisement, asks the price, pays for it and goes to his place of business, and reaps the advantages thereof. This is newspaper pat ronage. Another man says, "you may put my name on your books," and goes off without I saying a word about pay. Time passes on. and you want utouey, aud ask him to pay what is honestly due you. lie flies into a passion, perhaps pays, perhaps not, aud or ders his paper stopped. This is called newspaper patronage. Another man has been a subscriber a long time, but has never paid a cent, and at last becomes tired of you and wants a change, lie thinks he wants a city paper. He tells the postmaster he don't want it. and you'll yet a paper marked "refused. " But does he call and pay? Oh, no! lie wants his money to pay for his city pajier. He will pay you after a while, he says. But he nev er does unless you sue him. And this too, is called newspaper patronage. Another man brings in a fifty cent adver tisement. and wants a two dollar uotiee given it, and if you refuse he goes off mad. And this is called newspaper patronage. Another man lives near you—he does not take the pajier—he don't like the editor— the )taper is too small for him—yet lie goes regularly to his neighbor's aud reads it, and finds fault with it and quarrels with the opinions of the editor. Occasionally he sees an article lie likes, and begs or gives half a dime for the number. This is called news paper patronage. Another man takes two or three city pa lters and cannot afford to take a home paper, but he likes it and comes into the office and begs one whenever ho- is in town. This, also, is called newspaper patronage. Another ntan likes the paper; he takes a copy for himself and family, and pays for it, and does all he can to get new subscribers — he never grumbles, but always has a cheer ful word for the editor. If any little item of interest occurs in his neighborhood he informs the editor. This is newspaper pat ronage. Another man has a patent and wants you to give it a two dollar notice every week ; "it will be of interest to your readers," he says, but, although knowing it will benefit him most of all, he does not offer to pay for it. This is called newspaper patronage. Another mail has taken the paper for sev eral years, but has uot paid for it, and tomes in with a four or five dollar advertisement, and asks you to insert it for nothing because he is an old patron ofyours, 'litis is called new.-paper patronage. Another matt —"ayoung titan about town" —no use of his taking a paper, knows all that is going on. By-and-by be gets mar ried and hands in the notice with "just hand me a dozen copies." Ho gets theui, and 'AY, JULY 3, INOB. a ben you mention pay, lie looks surprised— "you surely do not cliarge for such things! " And this is called newspaixir patronage. Another man (bless you it does us good to see such men), comes in and says: "the year lor which I paid is about to expire, I want to pay for another. He does so and re tires. 1 his is uewspajier patronage. Now isn't newspaper patronage a curious thing? And in that great day, when the gentleman in black gets his due—as he sure ly will bow many of the patrons enumera ted above will fall to Lis share? Now, it will be seen that while certain kinds of patronage Is the very life and existence of'a newspaper, there are other kinds of patronage more destructive than the "deadly night shade." Reader ! where do you stand ? VERY RESPECTABLE PEOPLE. It seems to me that tbistcrmhas changed its significance within a few years. Long ago respectable people were those of whom the world had nothing ill to say—who lived qflfetly and did their duties, and were able to win respect. Girls who worked for their daily bread, with no stain upon their charac ters —men who toiled at common employ ments for the support of growing and well trained families, were all welcomed with the rich to church pew and parlor. To be very respectable, was to be honest and upright. Look.ing over our church to-day, I have been asking myself whether I beloDg to the respectable of the present time. One of our neighbors lives in a large white mansion, surrounded by pleasant walks and charming nooks for shade on a sunny day, Within everything is costly and tasteful. The only thing wanting is domestic felicity. The husband quarrels with his second wife, the first children quarrel with their second mother, the wife s decrepit father is insul ted, and yet people call them very respecta ble. Another within a stone's throw, lives more elegantly still, is blessed with several daughters in his own family, and numerous sons and daughters in other families, and yet bears au excellent name. A member of our eburch—one of the best churches in the land—is the gentlemanly proprietor of a wholesale liquor store, and □cither pastor nor people have as yet taken any steps toward excommunicating him. Another is in the wholesale grocery busi ness but sells many a barrel of whiskey where he sells one of sugar, for polite-license has ,n the iast few years made whiskey a grocery article, a daily necessity in living. A very efficient man has the misfortune to -upport three wives and one large family, two of these wives very fortunately having no children. The drain upon his pocket is heavy and business sometimes stagnant, yet he is a pillar in our neighborhood. Anoth er loans money to the poor, takes mortga ges on comfortable homes, aud forecloses them at the first good opportunity. Anoth er keeps a large store, employing several girls as clerks, paying them s•> per week for work, out of which they pay 14,50f0r board claiming the privilege of using any familiarity he chooses, or they must lose their places, anu he the husband of a refined woman. Another, whom we meet every day, has a wife aud lovely children, and yet supports one and sometimes two Theatre Comique girls, l'eople say what a fine business man ! What a noble face he has ! and all these are called very respectable people. Several of our neighbors have failed for Urge atnouut.s. defrauding the innocent poor tnd rninor says these failures were necessary that they might lay by a little for their fam- Sies to move in "respectablesociety." Many nore never pay their honest debts, even though they live in affluence, but custom \as made this allowable. A man who used to pack pork with greasy iaods and soiled clothes, and was a very "common fellow," after acquiring mouey enough to build a fine house and drive a handsome span, although too illiterate to speak or write correctly, has become a high ly esteemed citizen. We have young men in our midst who drink hard and live fast, and I have heard young ladies say they were most respectable associates, and these same young ladies will B'le, and walk, aud talk with tbem, when they should be a-leep, losing perhaps what to money can regain. A family with a good show of silver plate aid silk dre.-ses, lives for the most part on Inked potatoes, and sometimes few at that, aid all this l'or the sake of being respectable. ')rto of our neighbors was assured by the spirits whom he consulted that he and his wife, though living together, for a score of years, were wrongly mated. He obtained a divorce and married his congenial spirit, a young dashing girl, who knew as well how tospend his money as his former wife did to save it. The whole thing would hardly ha e looked respectable had it not. happened in i first family. V lady who used to do dressmaking, hav in&the fortune to ntarry a man of wealth, Ins forgotten her old associate dressmakers, indeed has forgotten how to make dresses— "biiiks it must require so much skill and patience!" Several young ladies whose bruhers have married finely in a necuniary reise, and not finely in any other, have be came so elated by it, that their many airs htve given them an immediate entree into "jood society !" Another lady, who has an invalid ltus btnd—for which she is probably thankful, alows herself to be kissed, and cloaked, and gtllartted by a certain young man. Our neighbors think it is not prudent, but then hir family stands high. Another, who dresses elegantly never pits out her wa.-hing to the poor by the dozen, except tliey are all the largest pieces, and then under pretense that many are poorly done, a full price is seldom paid, and yet -he attends church and carries a very Urge pi ayer book. Atother scolds her servants incessantly, carefully removes the sweetmeats from the table after her family have eaten, takes off the white sugar, and thinks common molas ses at good for "low domestics," as Stuart's : refined syrup. Another makes elegant parties for the reh.atid passes her poor relations on the s reet without even a look of recognition! < titer women neglect their infants for society aid will not nourish them from their own b easts lest their dresses become soiled, aud tiey have extra care, so puttiug the child where death eau easily find it. Such women oight to be called brutes, not mothers, and ' y t all these are very respectable people. The very respectable have fine cushioned i p'lrs in cbuiches, fine Bibles and hymn ! btoks; fine establishments and fine snrroun | diigs. I have cowo to the oonelusion that to be respectable one must have several thousand dollars, and to bo very respectable a great number of thousand s. —Cleveland Leader. THE WHOLE ART OF KISSING BY A LADY. People will kiss. Yetnotone in a hundred know how to extract bliss from lovely lips no more than they know bow to make dia monds from charcoal, and yet it is easy, at least for us! This little item is not alone for young beginners, but for the many who go at it like hunting coon or shelling corn. First know when yon are to kiss. Don't make a mistake, although mistakes may be good. Don t jump up like a trout for a fly, and smack a woman on the neck, or on the ear, or on the corner of the forehead, on the end of her nose, or slip over on her water fall or bonnet ribbon, in haste to get through. The gentleman should be a little the tallest. He should have a clean face, a kind eye, and a mouth full of expression instead of tobacco. Don't kiss everything, including nasty little dogs, male and female. Don't sit down to it, stand up. Need not be anxious to get in a crowd. Two persons are a plenty to corner and catch a kiss. More persons spoil the sport. It won't hurt any after you are used to it. Take the left hand of the lady inyour righthand. Let your hat go to—any place out of the way! Throw the left hand gently over the shoulder of the lady, and let the hand falj down on the right side toward the left, Don't be in a hurry. Draw her gently to your loving heart. Her head will fall lightly upon your shoulder, and a handsome shoul der-strip it makes! Don't be in a hurry. Hend a little life down your left arm and let it know its business. Her left band is in your right, let there be expression to that —not like the grip of a vice, bat a gentle clasp full of electricity, thought and res pect. Don't be in a hnrry: her head lies carlesslyon your shoulder! you are nearly heart to heart! Look down into her half closed eyes! Gently yet manly press her to your boson. Stand firm, and Providence will give you strength for the ordeal. Be brave, but don't be in a hurry. Her lips almost open! Lean lightly forward with your head, not the body. Take good aim. The lips meet —the soul rides the storms, troubles and sorrows of life, (don't be in a hurry!) heaven opens before, the world shoots from under your feet as a meteor flashes across the evening sky (don't be afraid!) the nerves dance before the first created altar of love as zephyrs dance with the dew-trimmed flowers—the heart forgets its bitterness —and the art of kissing is learned! No noise, no fuss, no fluttering and squirming, like a hook-impaled worm. Kissing don't hurt; and it don't require brass to make it legal. Don't job down on a beautiful mouth as if spearing for frogs ! Do not muss her hair, scratch down her col lar, bite her cheek, squizzle her rich ribbons and leave her mussed, rumpled and flum mixed! Don't grab and yank the lady as if she was a struggling colt! Do not flavor your kisses with onions, tobacco, gin cock tailu, lager-beer, brandy, &c., for a mud dling kiss is worse than the itch to a delecate I sensible woman. There, now, is your receipt, free gratis, foruothing. Try it.— Lebanon Patriot. THE ESTRAY LAW. We are often asked what is the law in re gard to stray cattle, sheep &e. It is briefly as follows: It is made the duty of all persons having strays in their possession, "within four days to deliver to the town clerk a particular description of the color and marks, natural or artificial, of each stray, or strays in writing or other satisfactory who, and for every neglect or refusal to do the same" he shall be liable to forfeit and pay the sura of five dollars—"and it shall be the duty of the town clerk, subject to like penalty for neglect or refusal, to make entry of the same in his book, for which he shall receive on each head of horses 50 cents, each head of cattle 25 cents, and for every sheep six cents, to be paid by such person delivering the said notice aforesaid." If the owner presents himself within 30 days after said stray has been thus registered on the book of the town clerk, he is entitled to receive his property on the payment of the costs the keeping, and the damage that may have occurred. After the expiratioD of thirty days, if no owner presents himself, the person taking up the stray shall cause an advertisement particularly describing sueh stray, to be published in at least one newspaper in the county—and if no owner shall appear and make out his property in said stray within ninety days after the publication of said advertisement, the person taking .tp the same shall apply to a Justice of the Peace in the same township, who is required to issue his warrant to a Constable, who, after giving ten days notice, is reauired to sell the same—the money for which is to be paid into the hands of the Justioe of the Peace, who is to pay all reasonable charges for the cost of keeping, registering, advertising, selling &c., and the balance, if there be any, is to be paid into the county Treasury.— Mcadville Republican. CALIFORNIA POETRY. AVhen from my room I chance to sttay, to spend an hour at close of day, I ever find a place most dear, where some friend treats to the lager beer.— Sacramento Age. Ah! yes my friend of city life, such a treat cures such a strife, but better than such dose by far, aro pleasures of a fine cigar.— Pluccr IleraUl.

Mr. Henry Blackburn's "Artists ar,d Arabs, or Sketching in Sunshine," contains this picture of a model patriarch among the Algerines: "Around the camp this evening there are groups of men and women stand ing, that bring forcibly to the mind those prints of the early prtriarchs from which we are apt to take our first and, perhaps, most vivid impressions of eastern life; and wc can not wonder at French artists attempting to illustrate Scriptural scenes from incidents in Algeria. There are Jacob and Joseph, as one might imagine them, to the li f e> Ruth in the fields, and Rachel by the well; and there is a patriarch coming down the mountain, with a light about his head as the sun's last rays burst upon him, that Herbert might well have seen when he was painting Moses with tables of the law. The effect is accidental, but it is perfect in an artistic sense, from the solemnity of the | man, the attitude of his crowd of followers, I the grand mountain forms which are parti i ally lit up by gleams of sunset, and the sharp shadows cast by the throng. This man ; may have been a warrior chief, or the head : of a tribe; he was certainly the head o! large family, who pressed round him to an ticipate his wants and do him honor. His children seemed to be everywhere about him; they were his furniture, they warmed his tent and kept out the wind, they begged for him, prayed for him, and genet ally helped him on his way. "In the Koran there is a saying of similar purport to the words; 'Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them'—this one had his quiver full of them, indeed, and whether he had ever done much to deserve the blessing, he certainly enjoyed it to the full. Looked upon as a colored statue, he was in some respects a perfect type of beauty strength and dignified repose—what we might fitly call a 'study,' as he sat waiting, whilst the women prepared his evening meal; but whether from a moral point of view he quite deserved all the respect and defcrencs that was paid to him, is another question. As a picture, as we said before, he was mag nificent, and there was a regal air with which he disposed the folds of his bournous, which, we, clad in the costume of advanced civilization, could net but admire and envy. He had the advantage of us in every way, and made us feel it acutely. lie had a splendid arm, and we could see it; the fine contour and color of his head and neck were surrounded by white folds, but not concealed. His head was not surmounted with a bat tered 'wide-awake,' his neck was not band aged as if it were wounded, his feet were not misshapen clumps of leather, his robe;- —but we have no heart to go further into detail. There is a 'well dressed' French gentleman standing near this figure, and there is not about him one graceful fold, one good suggestive line, one tint of color, grate ful to the eye, or one redeeming feature in his (by contrast) hideous tout ensemble." ASi ENTIRE CONGREGATION POI SONED. A letter to a Chicago paper dated at Xa pierville, HI.. June 10th says: ' 'Never before in the history of Napier ville was such an excitement created as on last Sunday evening, when it was .reported that the entire congregation of the I 'unkard church, who were celebrating a love feast, had been poisoned by eating meat prepared in a copper kettle and allowed to remain there until the uietal • had become oxydizcd. Nearly every one in the village had a lriend or a relative in attendance, and consequent ly there %as a general rush lor the church in question. Upon entering the building the scene which met their gaze verified the reports. In different portions of the church were the sufferers, some sitting up, others lying down, the latter twisting themselves into all sorts of positions, rolling around the floor; and all apparently suffering the most excruciating pain. Medical assistance was at once summon ed, but. as it was very limited, considerable time elapsed before all could be attended to. The stomach pump was brought into requi sition ami those who gave evidence of suffer ing the most were considerably relieved by its use. It was found that upon actual count that no less than one hundred and thirty were more or less affected, the major portion, however, but slightly, they having partaken of but a small quantity of food. About twenty were found to be in a dangerous con dition. These were removed to their homes, and every attention paid to them, and be fore morning inauy of them were out of danger. Those who were but slightly affec ted, with some little assistance, got home, and in a short time were entirely recovered. "It seems that the members were celebra ting a love feast. On Saturday last a quan tity of meat was cooked in a copper kettle. About one-half of it was eaten that day. and the remainder allowed to remain in the ket tle until Sunday, on account of there being no other place to keep it.

Ihey bore down toward the distressed ship and hailed them. "Whatis the matter?" "We are dying for water," was the re sponse. "Dip it up then!" was the answer "you are in the mouth of the Amazon River 1" There those sailors were thirsting, and suffering, and fearing, and longing for water, and supposing that there was noth ing but the ocean's brine around them, when, in fact, they had sailed unconsciously into the broad mouth of the mightiest river on the globe, and did not know it. And though to them it seemed that they must perish with thirst, yet there was a hundred miles of fresh water around them and they" had nothing to do but to "Dip it up!"

AN ENGLISH IRON CLAD.— The London Times says of the new turret-ship Monarch: The admiralty have at last produced their conception of a turret-ship, and a finer tar get than the Monarch—the first turret-ship constructed in (he Queen's dockyards—for an enemy's artillery, was surely never de signed. Rising out of the water with a free board of fourteen feet, she extends her long side, unbroken by a single port-hole, for more than a hundred yards, two-thirds part of which are unarmored, except at the water-line, and the rest is protected by seven inch armor, which the guns of the Russian, Prussian, French and American navies would all be able to shatter. She combines the greatest defensive weakness with the smallest offensive power. She is .3,000 tons, and only carries tcven guns. At sea her unarmored hull will generally be ex posed, and she will rarely be able to fire her guns with any accurate aim. She will cost not less than £400,000, and in all the most cs-ential portions of Admiral Goldsbor ough's definition, it may be safely predicted that the Monarch will fail. FLOWERS. —It is said that almost all kinds of flowers sleep in the night. The marigold goes to bed with the sun and rises weeping. Many plants are so sensitive that their leaves close during the passage of a cloud. The dandelion opens at five or six in the morn ing and closes at nine in the evening. The daisy opens its day's eye to meet the morn ing sun. The crocus, tulip and many others close their blossoms at different hours to wards evening. The ivy-leaved lettuco opens at eight in the morning, and closes forever at four iu the afternoon. The night blooming cercus turns night into day; it | begins to expand its magnificent, sweet seentcd blossoms at twilight, it is in full ! bloom at midnight, and closes never to open again at the dawn of day. in a clover field not a leaf opens till after sunrise. So says a celebrated author, who has devoted much time to the study of plants, and often watched them in their slumbers. Those plants which seem to be awake all night he styles the bats and owls of the vegetablo kingdom. MR. BCRLINO.VME'S services, iu intro ducing the institutions of civilization in Chi na. are summed up by the Spirit if Missions, as follows: '"Through his influence an Amer ican geologist was employed, who has de monstrated the great extent of their coal mine-. Wheaton's Elements of Internation al Law were translated into Chinese by Dr. Martin, an American missionary, and adop ted as a national text book by his advice. The first grant for a submarine telegraph, connecting the treaty ports from Canton to Tientsin?, was made to him, by which the trade of China was increased from $52.000,- (100 to £300,000,000. He warmly fatorcd the commission which two years ago was despatched to Europe, and the establish ment of a University for the cultivation of the sciences of the West, and lias been an ardent supporter of the great cause of mis sions. which has done so much for civiliza tion and for commerce, as well as for Chris tianity." FF.MAI.E INFLUENCE.—I have noticed that a married man falling into misfortune is more apt to retrieve his situation in the world than a single one. Chiefly because his spirits are soothed and relieved by domestic endearments, and self-respect kept alive, by finding that, although abroad be darkness and humiliation, yet there is still a little world of love at home of which he is monarch. Whereas, a single man is apt to run to waste and self neglect—to fall to ruins like some deserted mansion, for want of in habitants. I have often had occasion to mark the fortitude with which women mstalti ilie uiosl uvci wlicltuiug reverses of fortune. Those disasters which breakdown the spirit of man, and prostrate him in the dust, seem to call forth all the energies of the softer sex, and give such intrepidity and elevation to their character that at times it approaches sublimity.— Washington Irving. THE LAST OP THINGS.— It is with some melancholy interest, musing on the instabil ity of human things, that the philosophic mind surveys the last specimen of almost anything. The last tinder-box, and the last hackney coach, for instance, may be looked at with a certain fond partiality of regret. That they are the last of their sort shows, to be sure, that they have outlived coarse and barbaric expedients, and the things themselves are neither beautiful nor any longer useful. But they are the last, and we drop a sympathizing sort of sigh as we get rid of the worn out old bores. We might be sorry, after a fashion, to see the very last cockroach. The dodo was an un gainly fowl, and was certainly not an orna ment in the animal world; yet who but would have sighed had he witnessed his final extinction? — Satttrday Review.
