In Europe, for many centuries, the only animal food in general use was pork—beef, veal and mutton being com paratively unknown. It was, therefore, with no small astonishment that the crusaders, on returning from the East, said they had been among people who, like the Jews, thought pork unclean, and refused to eat it. But the feelings of lively wonder which this intelligence excited were destroyed as soon as the cause of the fact was explained. This snkject was taken up by Matthew Parrs, the most eminent historian dur ing the thirteenth century, and one of the most eminent during the Middle Ages. This celebrated writer informs us that the Mulionimodans refuse to eat pork on account of a singular circum stance which happened to their prophet. It appears that Mahommed having, on one occasiri4i, gorged himself with food and drink till ho was in a state of in sensibility, fell asleep on a dunghill, and in this disgraceful position was seen by a litter of pigs. The pigs at tacked the fallen prophet, and suffoca ted him to death; for which reason his followers abominate pigs, and refuse to partake of their flesh. This striking fact explains one great peculiarity of the Mahommedans; and another fact %Emily striking, explains how it was that their sect came into existence. For it was well known that Mahornmed was originally a Cardinal, and only be came a heretic because be failed in his design of being elected Popo. Thermo Jefferson's Walker. His Strength.—J eter Jefferson's phy. sique is described by Mr. Randall, as follows :—" Ile was a man of gigantic stature—plain, and averse to display-- be was grave, taciturn, slow to make, and not over prompt to accept, advan. ces. lie was one of those calmly and almost sternly self•relying men who lean on none—who desire help from none. And he certainly had both mus cles and mind which could. be trusted I He could simultaneously /head up' (raise from the sides to an upright po sition) two hogheads of tobacco, weigh ing nearly 1,000 lbs. apiece I He once directed three able-bodied slaves to pull down a .ruinous shed by moans of a rope. After they had again made the effort, he bade them stand aside, seised the rope, and dragged down the strut). ture in an instant. Traditions have come down of his continuing his lines as a surveyor through savage wilder nesses, after his assistants had given out from famine and fatigue, subsisting on the raw flesh of game, and even of his eating mules, when other food had failed." Ifisl - The Erio 06server says Gen. Shields, formerly of Illinois, but killed in that state for voting for the Nebras ka Bill, has come to life again. A few years ago, ho left Illinois, with an axe on his shoulder, and an ox goad in his hand, wended his way to Minnesota, where he employed his time in cutting timber, and hauling rails. We predict. ed that he would turn up, some day or other in the Senate, and now the proph ecy is fulfilled. Ile has just been elected to the 13. S. Senate, by the Democrats. Hard Times for Preachers.—The foi loaing is . an extract from a letter sent from a minister in Illinois: " Preachers feel these hard times sensibly. For more than two months I have not had a cent, except what I have received for marrying, and marriage fees are not very large in this region." Horace Greeley at Church.—Mr. Gree ley, says the Chicago, Journal, attend ed St. Paul's church on Sunday evening. One who sat near him says : lie came in rather late—took a seat—put on his glasses—looked up at the ceiling—then took a glance at the audience on either side of him—leaned back in his seat, and —went to sleep? Good.—The Banner of Liberty, speak ing of those free State men who would not vote when the whole responsibility of the slavery question was upon them, says : "In refusing to vote, these fel lows remind ono of a spunky boy that refuses to eat his supper until after the table h 9 beau cleared, so as to have something to cry about." 1011/4 BilL (Wm.) that promise to pay Ssd-doss iiot, is a liar-8111-ity. A Law gimbaled Terllll4l His Idterriew with Ris Succemor.— The following is a counterpart to one of the principal incidents in Itheade's story of White Lies : In May, 1855, a man, named R. M. Mellen, engaged in keeping a news de pot in Chicago, left home after tea in apparent health,'and no trace of him could afterwards be found. All sorts of rumors were afloat as to what had become of him. It was supposed he had met with foul play, and the river was dragged for his body. Next (ru mor originated the story) it was sup posed he had wandered off insane, and was concealed in the woods near Belvi dere,' and hundreds - of men turned out for the purpose of capturing him, Then a dead body was found 'near Rock Riv er, which piany of bis friends identified as his, altho ugh . on this point there was considerable difference of opinion. At all events, no trace of him could be found, after giving the police an in finite deal of trouble. He left a wife and one or two children, and about three weeks ago, Mrs. 3lellen, having mourned her hnshand's loss for three years, laid aside her weeds, and got married to a Mr. W. 11. Austin, a prin ter. Of a sudden she received a letter from Mellen, informing her of his inten tion to return home, and hard upon its heels, on Wednesday last, he followed. Ile says ho wandered away in a fit of insanity ; went to Memphis, thence to New Orleans, and at last to California, whore he engaged in various occupa tions. The Chicago Tribune, of Thurs day morning, concludes an account of the matter as follows: " Mellen visited his wife, or rather Mrs. Austin, yesterday, amt also Mr. Austin. The latter refused !Joint blank to"give Mrs. A. up. What the upshot of the affair will be is not easily guess ed. If both insist upon having posses sion of the lady, a very interesting law suit will doubtless' be the result. Mrs. Mellen, or Austin, did not obtain a di vorce before her marriage with Austin. " What the real motive was which in duced Mellen to absent himself fin• so long 4 time he has not made public. If it be true, as ho states, that ho was in sane when he left, why did he not, when he recovered from his insanity, either write to his wife, informing her of his whereabouts, or return home aninedi atlivr Mutt is the question. Tourkiss Incident The Buflido Con mrrcial says that the Rector of St. Paul's Church, in that city, had reached the middle of his dis course on Christmas Eve, when a dele gate from heathendom came up, the south aisle. It was a young squaw, with a half-heathenish, half civilized dress, a diminutive bonnet hanging on the back of her head by the strings, and a calico shawl of gay colors wrap ped around her like a blanket. She came along with the slow Indian step, until, near- the front of the church, a gentleman gate het a seat. Sho sat down as if unaccustomed to cushions, but maintained her good behavior, ex cept when the Vector was more than usually emphatic, she felt called upon to express her apptocid by an audible " dat's;good I" Daring the singing of the closing hymn she stood up with the rest, evidently much excited, leaning eagerly forward, her frame quivering with the new emotion of organic music. But after the benediction, when tho choir performed an anthem, she rushed out of the pew into the space before the chancel, where she stood unconscious of the 'gaze of the congregation, her eyes fixed on the organ, and aU the strangeness of her position forgotten in the rash of sensation produced by the rich notes of the organ and the exulting chorus of the anthem.

It appears that Borne time since, an ag ed man, who had been for some time an inmate of the Poor House, refused to take food, saying he had made a vow to his God never to eat again. From that tires, no threats or solicitations could induce him to eat, and be lived in that state sixty-five days and twelve boars before he died. M.

In Governor Denver's message to the Territonal Legislature of Kansas, he calls attention to the existence of n " Danite " Mormon organization in Kansas, whose members ado bound by the most solemn oaths and obligations to resist the laws i take the lives of their follow citizens, or commit any other act of violence that may be directed by their leaders; and to the existence of this band he attributes certain assassi nations that have been recently perpe trated in the Territory. The Wash ington Union suggests a complicity be tween the disturbers of the peace in Kansas and the Mormon traitors, which hits been rumored, and that possibly the necessity of retaining the Utah ex pedition in Kansas during the past summer may have been created by Brigham Young'S lagents; and, as a consequence, ho 'was thus enabled to maintain his powerat Great Salt Lake City a year longer. It is believed, al so, that the " bogus" telegraphic de spatches concerning the condition and progress of the military expedition against Utah, which generally reach here two or three days in advance of the more reliable information, is fur nished by this Mormon agent in Kansas. The statement of the existencerof the organization is certainly a singular ono, and coining from official sources, scorns entitled to belief. The Government will, no doubt, institute such inquiries as will establish its truth or falsity. The Wailers of the Outrage Creel. The editor of the Albany Argus and Atlas is evidently a wag in his way.— In a late !timber be roasts the Republi canab and their allies unmercifully on account of their deplorable condition, arising front the late entire failure of the Kansas outrage crop. 'Hear him: " The" Tribune pointed with pride to its story of two free State men burned to death to Fort Scott,' and 'the hang int; of n clergyman named Stewart,' while Civil War," Siege of Fort Scott,' defeat -of United States Troops,' ' March of Gen. Lane and 1300 troops,' Arrest of Lane,' tze., brought egrward by its colleagues. All these 1' of Black Republican culture, so full of promise, hav been blighted—nipped in the bud by a killing frost " Poets speak of the luxury of woe,' hut this is not a question of luxury.— Outrages have come to be a matter of necessity; and the calamity wilhigirive people of their livelihood. What will Greeley do without his outrages? He can set up the' cry for 'Protection to American Outrages,' and require of Congress to interfere in behalf of this branch of home industry.; but in the meantime what are his readers to do without their daily outrage—their brown-toasted free State mon and hung clericals, which they are accustomed to partake of for breakfast ? • We know that, by a wise provision, the grower of this profitable political crop, have attempted to extend it be yond Kansas and have pat Utah under cultivation. A few weeks ago, we bud a glowiu account of murder, starva tion. poison, and defeat, of which the united States troops were the victims!

This was a most grati fying evidence of' the capacity of the distant soil of Utah for the growth of outrages; but we fear that this beauti ful and efforvescent, specimen has been brought out too lam alphe year, and will perish in the frost "The contemplatfern of the misery caused by the failure of this - great sta ple is heart-rending. Greeley may be compelled.to tell the truth; Beecher to 'turn to religion; arid Heaven knows to what extremities others may be driven in mid-winter. We draw the veil upon the picture, and wait for some philan thropist to propose a subscription." A Consumption D#ector.—Dr. Scott Alison has introduced a new instrument for the detection of diseases in the chest, which he calls the chest goni °meter," or angle measurer, by which he is enabled to detect the slightest de viation from symmetry, and thus to discover depression in a very early stage Of consumption, and to mark the Ws eases,wlicther favorable or unfavorable. The instrument is of ivory, and very light and portable.—London Lancet. Iron StairA for Seltools.—The recent frightful calamity in Brooklyn, should induce extra precaytions in the con struction of all public buildings. The stairways of schools should be of iron, and there should he more menus of ingress and egress. The wonder is that disasters of this kind do not occur moro frequently.

But they stand not in their unenviable notoriety. • Our readers may remember that a boy of some seventeen years old, by the 11:1,1110 R i l e g , N, WAS enticed by some Of his companions into a drinking house in New York, who plied him with liquor. Not being accustomed to taste ardent spirits, he became perfectly de ranged, rushed into the street,,. and stabbed a citizen, who died f his wounds. It was shown concrititiely that ht, did not know what ho wa4 do ing at the time ; he had not the faintest knowledge or recollection of the feet, when ho came to himself. It , was shown that he could have escaped, if his friends had been disposed to urge him to do so; on the contrary his own mother insisted that he should be sur rendered fur trial, as she was satisfied he had-committed no intentional clime. To the profound surprise of every one, ho was convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to be hung on Fri day last. The strongest appeals were made in his behalf to the Week Repub lican Governor, who turned a deaf ear to them all, and refused to interfere.— Judge Ingraham, however, granted a writ of- error in the case, which saved him from being murdered according to law : lie will brobably have a newirial —if so, ho will doubtless be acquitted. It shows the philanthropy of Black Ile publican fanatics, who have such an abundance of sympathy for the niggers at the South. NO. 10.
