Notice for the Musical Mason & Hamlin's Cabinet Organs are the only instruments that have the "Automatic Bellows Swell," and they having .it patented 00 other makers DARE use it. Persons wishing orians should be careful, therefore in purcha sing, as agents selling an INFERIOR ar ticle, invariably represent it, to be as good as Mason & Hamlin's, when. no one else can USE their "Automatic Bel lows Swell," the very thing that makes their instrument so much superior to those of any other maker. We ° would advise any of oar readers who think of purchasing to visit the music store of 13. M.

The Washington correspondent of the New Bedford _Mercury thus des cribes Gen. Grant as he appears on the street of the capita!: Gen. Grant rides in a one-horse buggy just like any other man. 1 saw him on F street, Saturday. The top of his buggy was turned down, and ho sat in it alone, (smoking a cigar, of course,) with as little concern as if assassins were never known. He is quite a horse-jockey and doesn't allow any team to pass him on tbo road—if be can help it. Think of Wellington or Napoleon, or our own General Scott even, appearing on the streets in a buggy, and driving his own horse! And yet Gen. Grant has commanded larger armiesfought more battles, and captured more cannon than either of them. Impending Trial of Jeff, Davis. We clip the following important ar ticle from the last number of Wilkes' Spirit of the Times. It is published in the editorial columns of the New York Tribune, - '3. n d seems to be thoroughly endorsed : "We feel warranted in stating to the public that the revelations of the last ten days will justify us in announcing now that the Government has decided Jeff. Davis' shall be tried for treason and other high, crimes before a mili tary commission. The significant sum moning to Washington, therefore of such distinguised Generals as Sherman Sheridan, and Meade, and the recent arrival there, also, of Burton N. Har ris, who was the private Secretary of Davis dur!ng the Rebellion, may now be understood. We congratulate the country upon this decision of the Gov ernment. It avoids the vast danger of opening up the verdict of the sword, and risking the minority report of a disagreeing jury against recording treason as a crime. Such a result would be a calamity to both South and North, for it would encourage mischievous calculatiions on the one side, and indict continual alarm upon the other. The Government, there fore, could not excuse itself for such a terrible mistake; and wo consegnently! .are relieved to find that it has decided on the proper course. It, is a matter of inferior importance what becomes of Davis after be is tried; but it is of the first importance to. the future that he be tried by a tribunal of sufficient intelligence to comprehend his crimes, and of sufficiently establish ed honor to carry the acquiescence of the nation with its verdict. To addi tion to this, every reason points to the conclusion that DaVis should be tried by a military court. Tho military law is not repealed. The crimes of Davis aro of a military charactdr, courts mar tial are still sitting even in the North ern States, and the private Semmes is soon to be tried by a Naval Commis sion at the Capital. To continue these courts, and to try Semmes before one of them, and at the same time to hesi tate to arraign Davis in the same man• nor, would be an evidence of cowardice and a forfeiture of duty on the part of the Administration, from the effects of which it, would never recover." Poisons in Daily US3, Poisons are introduced into the sys. -tem by various means. They aro oft en concealed in food by the ignorant cook or honsekeepor,and as ignorantly partaken of by herself and others. Pickles arc often poisoned by being scalded in brass or copper kettles; it makes them look green, but that green renders them poisonous. Brass or copper - vessels ought not to be used for any purpose, unless they are previ ously scoured very bright; it is better for health to avoid their use for cook ing purposes. Brass wash dishes ought never to be used; they cause sore eyes, &c. Water is poisoned by being con veyed in' lead pipes, or standing in pails painted on the inside. Milk Is poisoned by using such pails for milk ing. Cheese is often poisoned i n the same way, and by using, in its manu facture; brass, copper or wooden tubs painted inside; Ignorance often places a deadly weapon in our choicest articles of food, but selfishness often conceals a great er. It manufactures and commends poisons fur others in many temptingly disguised forms. Candies, toys and cakes are ornamented or colored with various poisons. The blending of ors in various ways, in candies, and on cakes, make thorn attractive to the eye, but• destructive to the health of those who use thorn. Cakes ornamon told, with colcred dust,'candies colored irr such nice style, toys so highly at tractive to children, cause_ decayed teeth, canker, intestinal inflammation, nauseating headache,colic, spasms, and often convulsions. Confectionery may be prepared without coloring materi als, so as to be wholesome. Gay col ors aro made of poisonous materials, that ought never to be introduced in to food or drink. ' Wall paper, ornamented with beau tiful green, pretty yellow and lively red, often diffuses through sleeping and sitting rooms an atmosphere im pregnated with a poisonous vapor, that causes headache, nausea, drynegs of the mouth and throat, cough, de pression of spirits, prostration of strength, nervous affections, boils, watery swellings of the face, eutane• ones affections and inflammation of the eyes. These occur in more serious forms in apartments'that are not con stantly and thoroughly ventilated.— Home Journal. Congress, The amended resolution, amendment to the Constitution, reported by the Reconstruction Committee was adop ted by the louse on Wednesday last, ns tbllows "Resolved by the Senate acid House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, two , thirds of both Houses concurring, That the following article be proposed to the Legislatures of the several States as an amendment to the Constitution of the United States, - which, when ratified by three-fourths of said Legislatures; shall be valid as part of said Constitu tion#—viz t Bepresentatives shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, exclu4ing In dians not taxed : Provided, that when. ever the elective franchise shall be de nied or abridged in any State on ac count of race or color, all poisons there, in of such race or color shall net be ex cluded from the basis of representa tion." It was aderted by a vote of 120 yeas to 46 nays. The resolution- has not yet been acted on in the Senate. After it passes that body it must be ratified by two thirds of the State Legislatures before it can be a part of the Constitu tion.
