Only his Victuals; and Clothes.
As several gentlemen were passing down
Quad ottr Southern rivers, s short time since,
on board one of the thousand steamers which
ply on their watch. one of them was struck
with the beauty of nn elegant farm which
was then in sight, and addressing a plain
rustic gentleman who stood at his elbow,
asked who that elegant place belonged to.
" Mr. Johnson is the owner," was the re
f
" Well. Mr. Johnson has a splendid farm,"
returned the gentleman.
Presently another plantation attracted the
attention of the gentleman, and the rough
looking man was again applied to fur the
name of the proprietor.
"Mr. Johnson is the owner," said the
man.
" Indeedl—the mune man that owns the
other I What afortunsts man this Mr. John
son matt be to hare two sash establishments
as these!"
• A third, a fourth, and a fifth plantation fell
adder the notice of the gentlemen, and in Ira.
ply to his questions be *as Informed
that they also belonged to Mt. Johnson.
"And who takes care of all these farms for
Mr. Johnson t"
" I take care of them," answered the plaia
looking gentleman.
Y %ell. it must be a great deal of trouble.
and he ought to pay vnn well for it."
" Ile does not, if be ought." said the
man.
" Mut does Le ere you?" asked the gen
tleman.

clothes," Paid the gentleman. who happened
to be Mr. JohnPon himself.
"Only your victuals and clothes for doing
all that-! Why, he must bit too mows a man
to hire!"
Ono recent occasion, Louis Napoleon.
while reviewing troopa on the Champ de Mare,
noticed some disorder at a distant part of the
fiehl. Restless and annoyed. instead of dis
patching one of his officers, he suddenly
started off at a full gallop to the scene of dlr.
ficulty. The centre of the field was clear
from troops, but a carriage stood in the open
P light, open . platten, with its top
thrown back—and this carriage Ives rrtectly
across the line of the Emperor's direction --
So sudden clad his movements been, that few
for the moment had observed his leaving his
position in the field, but now he was dashing
fast as 'Arse could carry him across the open
space, Arriving at the obstacle, he took a
. ffying leap clear over Ae.earriage, and contin
uing his still rapid pace to the scene of com
motion, soon returned and assumed his posi-
Con at the heed of the field, while the air
rang with acclamations of delight .st the
darn g and success of his exploit.
During the past winter two gentlemen from
this place paid a visit to Sunbury, sinti_while
there one of them suggested — to' the oiler
call around and see an old friend who was
keeping a hotel there. Before entering the
house a wager was laid that the landlord
could out-lie either of them, and both were to
tell the biggest lie they could. The first
commenced by telling of a dog he owned,
how he could send him to any (Whim out-lots
to drive out cattle, etc., in fact almost any
thing he would tell him be would do. The
landlord listened patiently, and apparently
took the story in. At last his turn came and
he tommenced--" my father once owned a
dog, a ten-acre lot, -4 which was closely fenced
in by a seven rain fence,) and a large sow,
with pigs, which weighed over three hundred
pounds. One day the sow and pigs got in the
lot, which wasplanted in potatoes, and was
oommi tting snd havoc. I called • Towser,' and
sent him in, when he immediately chased the
sow around the hit fuer times, when, getting
impatient, I ordered hint to 'seise her,
which he did by the nap et the neck, and af
ter swinging her three times let go his hold,
and /Ivey her clear orerthe seven rail fusee in
L road!" The party immediately lsguered.

Mr. John Wise, of Laneaster, whose fame
as an leronaut is world wide. intends to visit
the Empire of Japan, where he will probably
remain four or five years. He will not leave
this country until nest fall, as he has made
arrangements with responsible parties in New
York, for some extensive and important ex
periments this summer ; and fur this purpose
i.nd to complete his arrangements, he is now
in New York. One of these experiments is
to demonstrate the practicability of crossing
the Atlantic with precision within a due
oourse, from west to east, and within the
parallels of two degree., and will eonsisi, in
sailing from St. Louis to the Atlantic sea
board ate point between Baltimore and the
city of New York. ,Another experiment will

with fan wheels and rudder. There is to be
an Akonautic Convention, or rather confer
ence, in New York, by a number of experi
mentalista in this matter, and Mr. Wise has
been summoned to take the enterprise ender
his direction. What will be the result of
these experiments is yet to be ascertained.
Unanimous Jury Verdicts.
Lnril Campbell recently introduced in the
British Parliament a bill, substituting the
verdict of the majority for the unanimous
verdict of juries in civil cases. Only seven
votes were given for the measure in the
Morse of Lords. that body being of opinion
that the present arrangement is the hest.—
Lord Campbell urged in favor of his bill, the
trouble and expense moped by the dissenting
of ogle juror, that a second trial was never
so satisfactory as a first one, that the necessi
ty of returning a unanimous verdict often led
to improper econprousises by the jurors, and
lastly that the operation of the change he
proposed had been attended with good results
in Scotland. But Lord Lyndhurst in reply,
said that die present law was one oT the fun
damental laws of the kingdom, that it had ex
isted some ire hundred years, had been ad
mired by the most eminent lawyers in the
nountry, and that no satisfactory lase for a
change had been shown. In nineteen cases
out of twenty, the jury never retire. and not
one in five hundred is diseharged fur want of
agreement among the jurors. The strongest
argument in favor of the present system was,
that, by requiring unanimity. full and com
plete discussion is insured, the minority, in
stead of yielding ton readily to the view of
the majority. naturally being led to resist con
clusion. upon which they differ, and for which
their sense of duty makes them unwilling to
be answerable.

TWO DOLLARS A-YEAR
Money vs. Husbands.
A correspondent of a Worcester paper re
lates this incident t
Just as the train was about starting for
Greenfield, Friday morning, on the Vermont
and Massachusetts Railroad, a sprightly little
woman with a child took a eent in the ear
near where I was sitting. The cars were be
ginning to move and the little wont - in — looked
anxiously through the end window of the rear
car for her missing husband, who was in the
depot attending to the purchase of tickets,
The speed of the car increased and the wo
man looked more anxious. The husband
now appears and commences to run. He
pins on the cars at first, but they are too far
ahead of him, and soon leave him behind,
although he dil run well fur a season. It is
now the wife's turn to try what she can do.—
In agony she implores the conductor that her
husband is left, but he can't help that. " I
am starting on & journey and can't . get along
without my husband."
a , Then let him attend to his business next
time," was the cold answer.
"But," says the keen woman, "I have no
money with me."
The brakes were applied, and the cars
brought to &stand still, and the panting hus
band asters the cars to the delight of all the
passengers, especially of his wife.—Moral—
money will stop a train of care much quicker
than husbands.

The Proposed Reduction of the Slate Tat..
—At the close of the session of the Legisla

act to reduce the State tax on real and.
personal estate from the existing rate of two.
and a halt mills to two mills on the dollar.
When taken t.) the Senate, this bill was re
ferred to the Finance Committee, where it

expired. We observe that some Oppositiom
papers are endeavoring to make capital out.
of this, and to show that the Republican
House proposed to bring relief to the suffer
ing people, which the Democratic Senate re
fused. It was well understood at the. time
that this was intended to make political cap
ital, and it was so 'viewed by both parties to
the Senate. We are not aware that the latter
body ever gave the measure the slightest no
tice. The Republicans made no effort to take
it from the custody of the Finance Committee,
and manifested no particular desire to have
it passed. If it was a Republican measure,
why did they not make some motion to have
it considered, and at least throw upon the
Democrats the responsibility of its defeat ?
Infect, both parties in the Senate viewed
flit-action of the House as hasty and injudis
cious, and no Senator felt disposed to take
the responsibility of appearing as its chew—

Cultivating the Cantaloup, 'lt
All our readers with gardens or lots eft
ground to cultivate, should remember, at this
time, that canteleupe can be raised with all
the certainty of the cucumber and the pump
kin. They require a little more care In pre
paring and selecting the ground. A sandy
loam is always to be preferred ;but any light,
friable soil, with a southern exposure, free
Pram prevailing moisture, will answer. The
ground should be converted into a fine tilth
—the hills should be dug out to the depth of
ten or twelve inches, eighteen inches in diam
eter, which should be filled with one-third
well rotted short manure, one-third/raid sand,
(should the soil not possess any,):ta one-third
rich earth, will mixed. The hills should be
from eight to twelve feet apart each way, as
room may allow, and the seed, say five to
hill, should be planted over the whole hill, an
inch below the surface. When the sprouts
arc two inches high, give them a fair sprink
ling of wood ashes, while the dew is on, or.
alter watering them, and repeat three or four
times during the two following weeks. This
will drive away the insects. When they are
six inches high, remove all but two or three
vines, according to the space between the
rows, and carefully put round, not to, the
vines, a little guano. In removing the weeds
from the beds, the vines should not be die
turbed, as the rootlets which penetrate the
earth from the vines and whicli supply the
principal nourishment to the fruit, will be
destroyed. Nothing more is needed to yield
