Praiseworthy. C.* tntocratir, Pm and tamit Neurnal.. Caught in His Own Trap. A girl, young and pretty, but above all, gifted with an air of adorable can dor, lately presented herself before a certain Parisian lawyer. " Monsieur, I carne to consult you on a grave affair. I want you to oblige a man I love, to marry me in spite of himself. How shall I proceed ?" The gentleman of the bar had, of course, a sufficiently elastic conscience. Ho reflected a moment, then being more sure that no third person over- heard him, replied unliestatingly : "Mademoiselle, according to ourlaw, you always possess the means of forcing la man to marry you. lon must remain lon three occasions alone with him that : you can go beforo a judge and swear 1 that he is - your lover." kod" And will that suffice, Moilsieur ?" M • Yes, ademu:selle, with one further ition." • Well ?" " That you will produce witnesses `who will make oath to their having seen you remain a good quarter of an hour with the individual said to have Itrifled with your affections." "Very well, Monsieur, I will tetain you as counsel in the management of 4ais affair. Grtiod day." ' A few days afterward the young girl returned. She was mysteriously received by the lawyer, who scarcely giving her time to scat herself, ques tioned her with the most livery curiosity. " Well, Mademoiselle, how do mattere prosper?" " Capital !" "Persevere in your designs, Made moiselle, but mind' the next. time you eome to consult, me, you must toll me the name of the young man we are go ing to render so happy in spite of him self." " You .shall havo it without fail, Monsieur." A fortnight afterwards, the young person, more naive and candid than over; knocked discreetly at the door of her counsel's room. No sooner was she in the room, than she dung herself into a chair, saying that she had mount ed the steps too rapidly, and that the emotion made her breathless. Iler counsel endeavored to reassure her, made her inhale salts, and even propos ed to release her garments. • ' " It is useless," said she, " I am much baton" "Yell, Mademoiselle, now tell mo the name of the fortunate mortal you arc going to expose." •• Well, the fortunate mortal, be it known to you, is—yourself,' said the young beauty, bursting into a laugh.— " I lore you, I have been three times tete-a•tcte with you, and my witnesses are below, ready and willing to accom pany me to the niagistrate'is,a) gravely continued the narrator. The lawyer thus fairly caught, bad the good sense not to get angry. The most singular fact of all is, that he adores his young a ife, who, by the way, makes an execilent housekeeper. A Capital Trick that Ended WelL Here is a good story which we have just heard. A young man (a brother to "Sly Boots" perhaps, for, like her, he enjoyed a good joke) was studying in college. Ono afternoon he walked out with ono of his instructors, and they chanced to see an old pair of shoes lying try the side of the path, which appeared to belong to a poor man at work close by. " Let us have a little amusement at his expense," said the student.— " Suppose we hide those shoes, and conceal ourselves in the bushes to watch his perplexity when he cannot find them." " I can think of a better trick than that," said the instructor. " You are rich, and suppose you put a silver dollar in the too of each shoo, and then we will hide." The young man did so. The poor man finished his work soon, and went to put on his shoes. You can imagine his surprise when he•stooped down to take out a pebble, as he sup posed, from the toe, and found it to be a hard dollar, and then his absolute perplexity and astonishment when he found still another in the other shoe.— His feelings overcame him; tie fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven 'and ut tered aloud a fervent thanksgiving, in which he thanked a kind Providence for sending some unknown hind to save from perishing his sick and helpless wife ind his children without bread.— Do you wonder that the young man stood in his hiding-place deeply affected, and his eyes filled with tears ? Young friends, and you, Miss "Sly Boots," when you want to enjoy real fun, real pleasure at witnessing the perplexity of others, see if you pannot in some way imitate the student. Such tricks aro worth performing. A Short Ceremony. Old Squire Jack—as he was familiar ly called, was for many years a justice of the peace in —, and in addition to issuing warrants and executions, was frequently called npon to perform the marriage ceremony. One bitter cold winter night, about 12 o'clock, be was aroused from his sleep by a knock at the door. la no very amiable mood he jumped from his warm bed, and avowing up the win dow, called out : 44 Who's there ?" " Hallos, Squire," was the reply, " we want to get married." "You're oxen i and now to off with you r round the Squire '• and bringing down the window with a crash, he hop pel into bed amain.

"TRUTH IS MIGHTY, AND WILL PSIVATL." The Greatest Duel on Record. An old Mississippian furnishes the following to the Woodville (Miss.) Re publican : " The famous duel in which forty or more gentlemen wore engaged in 1828, is still remembered in Natchez. Colonel Jim Bowie, the famous fighter and in ventor of the knife which bears his name, used to spend a great deal of his time at Natchez. He wan challenged by a gentleman of Alexandria, Louisi ana, whose frieads to the number of twenty or more, accompanied him to Natchez to see fair play, knowing Bowie was a desperate man, and bad his own friends about him. All parties wont upon the field. The combatants took their places in the centre, sep arated from their friends in the rear far enough not to endanger them with their balls. Behold the battle array thus : "Twenty armed Louisianians fifty yards behind their champion and his seconds and surgeon, and opposite him, as far behind Bowie and his seconds and surgeon, twenty armed Mississippians. Behold the heights of Natchez thronged with spectators, and a steamer in the river rounded to, its decks black with passengers watching with deep interest the scone. The plan of fight was to exchange shots twice with pistols, and to close with knives, Bowie being armed with his own terrible weapon. At the first fire both parties escaped. At the second the Louisianian was too quick and tank advantage of Bowio, who waited the word. At this Bowie's second cried "foul play.:" and shot the Louisianian dead. The second of the latter instantly killed the slayer of his principal. Bowie drove hie knife into this man. The surgeons now crossed blades, while, with loud battle cries,canto en the two partiesoffriends, the light of battle in their eyes. In a moment the whole number were en gaged in k fearful conflict. Dirks, pis tols and knives were used with fatal effect, until one party drove the other from the field. I do not know how many were killed and Wounded in all, but it was a dreadful slaughter. Bowie fought like a lion, but fell covered with wounds. For months be lingered at the Mansion House before he fully re , covered."' The Genius of Napoleon in a Sergeant —flow a Company was Sared.—Wo have been informed by an officer attic Uni ted States army of a most remarkable instance of ingenuity and presence of mind, in a Sergeant of the army, which occurred a few weeks ago, by which ho saved his own life and that of his party. A sergeant, with about twenty-dre soldiers, has been sent out some miles from Fort Defiance, New Mexico, to guard some stock which were sent to graze, when; unexpectedly, they found that the party was surr ounded by about fnur hundred hostile Navajo In dians.• The bravo and skilful sergeant took position on an eminence and, by a volley from the longshooting rides of his party, at first drove off the savages, who, however, soon rallied, and were preparing to storm the little party on ail sides. The sergeant, in taxing his brain for an expedient by which to con vey intelligence of the desporato peril in which his party was placed, took a sin gle dog which bad accompanied the party, fastening to his collar a note written with a pencil, informing the commander at the fort of his situation, took a tin cup in which he put some pebbles, which were confined with a piece of cloth over the top, fastened it with a suing to the dog's tail, and started the dog loose, knowing that ho would, in his affright, run to the fort. lie dashed with his greatest speed to Fort 1 h ; the note was discovered and read. Straightway a party was sent to the rescue, end arrived just in time to - save the lives of the whole par ty. The sergeant justly merits a com mission, which wo hope will be awarded him by the President.—Kenturky Flag. Poetical Advertisement.—Wo find in one of our exchanges the following ad vertisement of an absconding wife by a bereaved husband. Hear how he " piles on the agony," in cautioning the public not to harbor or trust the woman who cruelly deserted his " bed and board," while he was "ont from home."

While standing in the office of one of our first class hotcis, the other day, we noticed a gentleman who came in with his baggage, enter his name on the book and secured a room. As soon as he had written his name upon the register close by, the clerk looked at it with astonish ment. He called all the other clerks to look and then ho called one of the pro prietors, who seeing it appeared amazed. We thought from the fuss that was being made over the name, that the man must be some celebrated person. The idea struck us that it might be Prince Albert, or some of England's noblemen, but, as Lis features were truly American, wo concluded it must be some great man, whom wo did not know, belonging to our country. While thus contemplating the man and his position, the head clerk leaned forward and called— " Mr. Johnson, one momont, if yoa please!" The gentleman stepped up to the desk. " Will you," continued the clerk, "please explain one thing ?" " What is it ?" asked the gentleman, with a quiet smile playing on hieface. " Why, sir, at tho unddgyour name, on the book, you have Aired throe let ters, P. L. 8., and we are anxious to know tho meaning of them, having novcr before met them in that position." "P. L. 8.," said the gentleman, simply Patent Leather Boots. The last time I was here, I wore none other, but I was charged in my billet leaving, two dollars Itor blacking boots, and as I had AO time to dispute at leaving, I concluded this time to make you un derstand that I wore such boots as needed no blacking." When to Turn Out Cows. It is best to turn out stock early, for several reiusona. One is, that from the 10th of May to the 10th of June is the best. feted month in the year. Another reason kr turning out when the grass first getrstartecl is, that the stook does better than if kept, up until the feed is rank. In the ease, they scour bad ly, while if turned out very early they do not scour at all, and afters few days will eat hay again. Many cows are in jured, and some spoiled, by turning them from hay to rank clover. Not only does the stock do better, but the pasture yields more feed: By turning out, early, the cattle go more into the low places, where the grass starts first, and eat them down, instead of leaving them to go.to seed—tut they will if there is plenty of bettor grass to be had.— This poor grass if fed down early, starts up fresh, and will again be eaten and kept fed down through the season. Cure for Bone Felon. A gentleman ftirnishes the following reccipo for bone facih. Paaays he has tried it in some half dozen cases, and has never known itTo tail to work a cure : Take a piece of rock salt about tho sir.tiof a butternut -Arap it in a cab bage leaf, if to bo hid, if not., in a piece of wet brown paper, and cover it with coals, as you would to roast an onion. Aft it has been roasted about twenty minutes tako it from the fire and pow der it very fine. Mix it with as much common soap as will make a salvo. If the soap be not pretty strong of turpen tine—which may bo known by the smell—then add a little turpentine.— Apply the salve to the part affected In the course of a few hours—some times in a few minutes the pain will be relieved. After this, if suppuration take place, it must be treated as a com mon sore.—Planter's Advocate. .Courage of a Child—A Fearful Catas trophe Prerented.—The Cincinnati Gas ette of the 3d inst. records the following brave deed : .Yesterday, soon after a freight train had passed Shelbyville sta tion, on the Cincinnati and Indianapo lis Railroad, a rail slipped several in ches from its place, but without doing any damage to the train, and without the knowledge oven of any one on it.— '1 his was on a curve, rendering it dou bly dangerous. As the passenger train going west neared the place soon after, the engineer discovered a little boy standing in the centre of the track, en ergetically waving a handkerchief. lie was not inclined to stop at first, know ing the fondness of all boys for sport ; but fearing some difficulty, he whistled and applied the brakes, and succeeded in stopping the train within five feet of the loosened rail. If he had not done so we should have had to chronicle another shocking railroad accident.— The little boy, wnose name is Mcßride, on walking along the track, had discov ered that the rail bad boon slipped, and took this method to save the train. lie is a noble little fellow, and should be richly rewarded. A Broken Rome Circle.—We take the following deaths from the Greensburg (Pa.)

How the Printer was Elected—Taking Care of the Wounded—Poor Covode. The Republicans profess to bo very much horrified at the evidence of Dern-1 ocrutic corruption elicited by the Cu- I vode Committee, boeause it appears that a portion of the enormous profits of the public printing was contributed for party purposes, instead of going entirely into the pockets 4. the contrac tors. The virtuous Covodo and his compeers discover in this an evidence of Democratic corruption and degenera cy at which their unsophisticated inno conce stands aghast and confounded.— I The Republican newspapers choose bits of evidence on thissubject, the like of which they never heard of. They mourn over the political degeneration of the Democracy as this who will not , be comforted, and shed as many bitter I tears as mutes at the burial of virtue.—, It is however, an interesting fact, that while the Republicans are pursuing these investigations at the expense of Democrats, the Senate Cullum ttee have discovered that those virtuous and weep ing Republicans were engaged in the same business of partitioning the pro fits of the House Printing, and that Dc frees, of Indiana, was nominated by the Republican caucus upon consideration that he would apply one-half of the net proceeds of the House Printing to carrying elections fur the Republicans in Pennsylvania and other doubtful States during the ensuing Presidential campaign. Dames could not raise quite votes enough to elect him, so Tom Ford, of Ohio, was chosen—the same Tom Ford who made a tour through Pennsylvania in 1856, with Republican Money in his pockets, which he used to persuade certain Fillmore organs that it was their duty to support Fremont, and otherwise to close the breaches in 'the Republican -fortress. The party owed Tom a debt of gratitude for these invaluable services, and they paid it by making him Printer to the House, al though he had no practical knowledge of the business whatever. According to Ford's evidence before the Committee ho became a candidate unexpectedly to himself. " The out siders," he says, " talked •with me upon the subject of the House printing, and 1 said to them generally, that was a soldier, and if I won a battle 1. would take care of the wounded.'" This generous conduct won the hearts of the outsiders, who at once rallied urouud the man who promised to distribute the-spoils. Ford says that ho made an open proini4e to Defrees, of Indiana, Moran, of Philadelphia, Pangborn, of Boston, and Wilson, of Indiana, and there was some talk of doing something for Alr. Mitchell, of Missouri. Some body suggested that he ought to help Mrs. Bailey of the h. ra office, and Tom,in his overflowing benevolence, replii,4l that if ho was elected he would. After these nice little arrangements were all duly perfected, Ford was, of course, elected Printer.. INitithing could with stand such noble generosity. Defrees, and Moran, and Paugborn, and Wilson and their friends, together with the friends of Mrs. Wiley, discovered at once that Ford was the proper man for Printer, and went to work to convince Republic= members of Congress that it wag their duty to select him without delay—and he was elected with the assistance of John Covodo and other patriots of that kidney. Now, Ford knew nothing about the art and myi tory about printing, to which ho was as entire a stranger as to honesty. Su ho enters into an agreement with tho foreman of Wendell to execute all the work for eighty per cent. of the price received, they binding themselves to to pay him twenty per cent. as his profit, without his incurring any risk. Now, this was a very good thing fur Ford, twenty per cent. of the cost of the House Printing being a very comforta ble compensation for doing nothing but taking cure of the wounded. A man can afford to devote himself to the charita ble duty of walking the Republican Hospital for this sum, provided that the number of the wounded is not too great, and Covode and other old soldiers do insist on being included in this caw gorTy. 'lho testimony of Dofroes, who was nominated by the Republican caucus, but could not raise votes enough to secure his election, shows that he re. ceived a nomination upon tho express understanding that he was to devote one-half of the proceeds of the printing, to carrying the doubtful States for the Republicans. The following portion of his testimony discloses the motive that controlled the Republicans is nominat in him : Q. Did you make, or cause to be made, to a caucus of the Republican party convened for the purpose of nominating a candidate for a printer, a proposition that if you were elected you would give a certain portion of the profits of the printing to the Republican party, or place It in the control of a committee of that party to be used for the distribution of docu ments, pr for electioneering purposes ? A. On the night of the Reptiblicius.conference !au thorised General Kilgore, of my %tate, to say that t would be liberal in my contribution in ' the dissemination apolitical truth among the people of the States of Pennsylruaia, New ter: any, ladisaa , and Illinois, previous to the next Presidential election, for the purpose onliform. lag thea as to their true interests, sad who they ought to rote for for President, or come thing to that amount.

Q. You were nominated en the day that kk. Kilgore made that propositioa ? A. Yea, Q. You wore voted for as the candidate of the Republicans on the next day? A. No, sir, not the next day. Mr. Stanton moved a postpone ment several days, and it wu done. Q. You were nominated though on The day that proposition was made as the candidate ot the Republican party? A. Yea, sir. •Q. You stated, I think, that yuu - received all the totes of the Republicans present in the house except that of Mr. Adams? A. Yes, sir, I should like to Say that i regarded his course toward me as very strange; isecause, while an apprentice In a printing office, the first writing that I ever did was in support of his lather for the Presidency against General Jackson. Thus is a nice state of affairs traly.—. It is deplorable to think that the Re publicans, who have instituted investi gations for the purpose of unearthing all the hidden evidences of fhnnocratio corruption ,-were themselves engaged in an arrangement to partition the profits of the House printingamong weak and sickly partizans, and to use a portion of it as a corruption fund to carry the doubtful States. We can only imag ine the sensations of John Covodo an his fellow•laborers when they saw these disclosnres, but no language could possi bly depict the depth of their anguish.— There is nothing left for Coved() but to retire to some sequestered spot beyond the reach of depraved and corrupt ;non, there to meditate in solitude upon the decay of public virtue. After all his la bors to purify the public atmosphere, his own Republican flionds go sat nominate a man for Printer upon con sideration of his using half the profits w influence elections ; and the whole thing comes out most inopportunely, just as he is about showing up the rot tenness of the Democratic politicians Coved° has been shamefully treated. And then to think that aftee•all, the Republicans should elect a man ?sinter at the dictation of the outsiders—that this man was no printerat ail, and that he sold out for twenty per cent; and agreed to take care of the wounded. What are we coming to ?—Patnet anal Union. NO. 49. Practical Republicanism. In Cleveland the Republican lenders carry out tho principles therprbfoss.

That is what we call miaowing !their faith by their works—but whoa elec tion time draws nigh, those same Re publican leaders will profess to ba the only true friends of the "frizzle headed Irish end bare heeled Dutch." Misled by a Church.—The doluner City of Cleveland arrived at BOtlialo May 20, and the following incident is told as having occurred at Dankfrit.--de Tho mate who was at the wheel while making the port of Dunkirk (who is an old lake apilor and well acquainted with the harbor there, bat who has been absent for the last year)al waye laid his course by a certain church spire.
