StirA man's force in the world, other
things being equal, is just in the ratio
of the force and strength of his heart.
A full-hearted inan is always a power
ful man ; if the thing is in the heart, he
is sure to make it notorious, oven
though it may he a downright falsehood.
Let a man be ever so ignorant, still if
his heart be full of love to the cause,
lie becomes a powerful man for that ob
ject, because he has heart-power, heart
force. A man may be deficient in
many
. of the advantages of education,
in many of those niceties which are so
much looked upon in society • but once
give him a strong heart that beats hard,
and there is no mistake about his power.
Lot him have a heart that is r.glit full

man will do the thing, or else he will
die gloriously defeated, and will glory
in his defeat. Heart is power.
tar A remarkable suit has lately been
decided in the Court of Sessions at Ed
inburg, Scotland. Mrs. Catharine Les
lie entered suit to have it declared that,
she was the wife of the late Cathcart
Leslie. It was proven that they became
engaged in 1822, and in 1837 they for
mally accepted of each other as man
and wife, without any other ceremony
or witnesses, agreeing to keep it secret
until he was rich enough to support
her. They lived apart for thirty years,
continually corresponding until his
his death in 1557. The Scot( h judges
decided in favor of Mrs. Leslie, in ac
cordance with the law of Scotland,
which', in order to make a marriage le
gal, 'requires no form or ceremony, civil
or religious; no notice, no witnesses,
but merely the consent of the parties ;
and if this latter can be proved at any
subsequent period, even utter the lapse
of years, by subsequent written ac
knowledgment or oath of reference, the
parties will be held to have been legally
married, whether living together or not.

Japanese C9in —The gold, silver and
bronze coins of Japan aro becoming
pretty plentiful in this city. Mr. G.
W. Burr, jeweler, of Broadway, has
shown us a number of them of
curious shapes and considerable value.
One of them, a hundred dollar piece, is
nearly as large as a decent sized platter.
Tho coins are of various shapes, the
gold ones being oval, the silver ones
oblong, the bronze ones are elan oval,
with square holes in the centre. The
gold coins are quite thin, having evi
dently boon hammered out, and then
stamped with the mint marks in Japan
ese characters, the larger onesalso bear
ing, in black lacquer, the value in large
letters. A number of these coins aro
now on exhibition at Barnum's Muse

The Sweet Potato.—The Michigan
Farmer recommends a more extensive
culture of the ewoet potato. It says :
4, The cultivation of this valuable escu
lent is a matter of no inconsiderable
moment to the farmer. When proper
ly attended to, under favorable condi
tions of weather, harvesting, &c., this
crop is one of the most profitable items
in agricultural economy. We kept the
account of the product of ono acre
which was devoted last year to the
sweet potato, and after making the lib
eral deduction of fifty per cent. for ex
rases including manure and labor, we
set down the net profit of $5O as the re
turn of that acre. This every farmer
knows is a very tats yield."

Some forty years ago the managers
of a race course near Brownsville, on
the Idoncngahela river, published a
notice of a race, one mile heats, on a
particular day, for a purse of one hun
dred dollars, " free for anything with
four legs and hair on." A man in the
neighborhood, named Hays, had a bull
that ho was in the habit of riding to
mill with his bag of corn, and ho deter
mined to enter him for the race. He
said nothing about. it to any one, but
ho rode him around the track a number
of times, on several moonlight nights,
until the bull had got the hang of the
ground pretty well, and would keep
the'right course. He rode with spurs,
which the bull considered disagreeable ;
so math so that he always bellowed
when applied to his sides. On the
morning of the race Hays came upon
the ground on horseback—on his bull.
Instead of a saddle, ho had dried an ox
hide, the head part of which, with the
horns still on, he placed on the bull's
rump. lie carried a short tin horn in
his hand. He rode to the judges' stand,
and offered to enter his bull for the
race, but the owners of the horses that
were entered, objected. 'Hays appeal.
ed to the terms of the notice ; insisting
that his bull had "four lega and hair on,"
and therefore he had a right to enter
him. After a good deal of swearing
the judges declared themselves compel.
led to decide that the bull had the right
to run, and ho was entered accordingly.
When the time fur starting arrived, the
bull and horses took their places. The
horse racers were out of humor at being
bothered with the bull, and at the bur
lesque which they supposed was inten
ded, but thought it would be over as
soon as they started. When the sig
nal was given they did start. Hays
gm . ° a blast, ►with his horn, and sank
his spurs into the side of' the bull, who
bounded off with a terrible bawl at no
trifling speed, the dried ox hide flapping
up and down, rattling at every jump,
making a combination of noises that had
never been heard on a race course be
fore. The horses all flew the track,
every one seeming to be seized with a
sudden determination to take a short
col to i.,•et out of the Redstone county,
nod not one of them could bo beought,
back in time to save their distance. A
general row ensued ; - but the fun of the
thing put the crowd all on the side of
the bull. The horsemen contended
that they were swindled out of their
purist., and that if it had not been for
Hays's horn and ox hide, winch ho
ought not to have been permitted to
bring upon the ground, the thing would
not have turned out as it did.
.tLN'',r.
Upon this Hays told thorn that his
bull could beat any of their lupines any
how, and if they would pnt up a hun
dred dollars against the purse that ho
had won, he would take off the ox hide,
and leave his tin horn, and run a !sir
raco with them. llns offer was accep
ted and (lie money staked. They again
took their places at the starting post,
and.tho signal was given. Hays gave
the bull another touch with his spur,
grid the bull gave a tremendous bellow.
The horses remembering the dreadful
sound, 'thought. all the rest was coming
as before. A way they went again, in
spite of all UM exertions of their riders,
while Hays gallopped the bull around
the track and won the money..

A hinkee Cm/13141p —The story rune
that a gentleman living at St. Joseph's
Island, out West, waA engaged to be
married tea pretty French girl, and the
bans were published in the Church on
a certain Sunday. The next day a
Yankee made a bet of $lOO, with a
friend, that he woald marry the girl
himself. The money was placed in the
hand of a third party ; the Yankee then
called upon the young lady and made a
proposition of marriage. She told him
that her intended had already given
her 840 to buy clothes, but tbat, she
didn't like him very well. At this her
now suitor handed her a like amount,
and then placing furty dollars more
with it, romirked : "There's his forty
dollars, and I'll go forty better." The
young lady could resist no longer, and
taking the money, returned the amount
given her by her first, lover, and mar
ried his competitor within an hour, well
satisfied with the bargain. The bet
was won, and in the course of a month
the St. Joseph Islander married the
sister of hie first fiance.

A Nad-Dog Ratedy.
According to promise, we lay before
our readers this morning the famous
Dr.,Sloy remedy for the bite of a mad
dog. It is an exact copy of ono of the
original receipes, sold by Dr. Stoy, a
son of the original discoverer :
Dr. Sioy'a Infallable Cure for the Bite
of et Mad Dog.—Take ono ounce of Red
Chick-Weed,and put it in a clean earthen
pot; pour on it a quart of beer; place
the pot over a gentle coal fire, and boil
it until it is reduced to the half; strain
it hot from the pot through a clean linen
cloth into a pewter dish, and then,
while still hot in the dish, add an ounce
,of Theriao and stir it, well, until it is
thoroughly mixed. Give a . patient a
dose luke warm in the morning, the
patient being duly sober, that is to say
without anything having been taken
that morning, after this he must fast at
least three hours, and during that time
drink no cold water, and must take care
not to eat any pork, and everything
which has any connection with pork,
for fourteen days the patient must not
partake of any animal food, not even
of the fish kennel. This is the dose for
a grown person. To children of 12
years give the half and so in proportion
to the ago. To animals glee double
the portion that is given to a grown
person, and in proportion, with the
water as above mentioned to be obser
ved.
N. B.—You must cut the weed in
Juno, when it, is in blossom, and aridity
it in the shade. The weeds to bo fried in
fresh butter, without salt, and then put
on the wound three times, by rubbing
the scab off with an oak chip.
Chick Weed is the popular name for
a species of Stellaria, and that with
white blossoms affords a remarkable
instance of the sleep of plants ; for at.
night the leaves approach in pairs, and
inclose the tender rediments of the
young shoots. The leaves are cooling,
and are deemed useful for swelled main
malia. Theriac is a name given by the
ancients to various compounds, esteem.
ed efficacious against the effects of poi
son, but afterwards restrained chiefly
to what is called yen ice treacle, which
(says the Cyc.) is a compound of sixty
four drugs, prepared, pulverized, and
reduced by means of honey to an elec
tuary. Both these articles can he had
at the druggists.—Patriot and Union.
Important to Druggists.
It, will be aeon by the tbllowing sec
tion of the new Penal Code passed by
the Legislature last winter, that no
drug, ola poisonous nature, can hereaf
ter be sold by our Druggists except up
on the written prescription of a physi
cian, or to a respectable inhabitant, of
full age, of the town in which such sale
shall be made. The flue for violating
Go Law is fifty dollars:
"No aglothecary, druggist or other
person shall sell or dispose of by retail,
any morphia, strychnia, arsenic, prussic
acid, or corrosive sublimate, except up
on the prescription of a physician, or
on the personal application of some re
spectable inlu►bitant, of full ago, of the
town or place in which such sale shall
be made. In all ousts of such sale the
word poi.ion shall ho carefully and legi
bly marked or placed upon the label,
package, bottle or other vessel or thing
in which such poison is contained; and
when sold or disposed of otherwise than
under the prescription of a physician,
the apothccury, druggist or other per
son selling or disposing of the same,
shall note in a register, kept for that
purpose, the name and residence of the
person to whom such sale was made,
the quantity sold and the date of such

rir-A large number of western edi-
tors have had " a high old time" recent
ly, in the way of a pleasure excursion.
While in Washington city they visited
the President. " Old Buck" gave them
a very kind reception, and as is custo
mary on such occasions, addressed tltem
briefly. In the course of his remarks
he said :
" This is not a palace to be sure, as
you have styled it, but it is altogether
the people's, and the President himself
who occupies it., is only the chief ser
vant of the people. There is this pecu
liarity about the President, that ho is
elected by the people, and ho owes no
allegiance to any human power but the
people. [Applause,] The duties of the
President are hard, and I shall soon
retire from them; and if the new Pres
ident that is to come in, shall bo as
happy in assuming the duties of the of
fice, as I am in laying them down, hp
will be fortunate indeed. Nevertheless,
it seems that there will be no lack of
men quite willing to endure the Presi
dency. [Laughter.] We are very like
ly to have candidates enough to repre
sent all the isms known to the country.
Nevertheless lam persuaded that the
prevailing wish of the American people
will be to cherish and preserve the
Constitution as it is, and the Union.—
[Applause.] For my part, I should de
sire to draw no single breath beyond
the existence of this our beloved Union.
[Ruch applause.] I am pleased to see
this assemblage together of so many of
the editorial fraternity. I think its ef
fect will be salutary on yourselves, in
relieving your relations of that acrimo
ny that has sometimes marked the
press. lam remined•of an anecdote, but
I know not whether I should relate.—
[Cries of " Tell it." "Go on."] It
occurred when I was Minister to En
gland. I was talking with adistinguish
ed English Statesman, who said to me,
'Mr. Buchanan, I should infer from
your newspapers, that the American
people always choose out their greatest
scoundrels and make them Presidents.'
[Much laughter.] I replied that "it
did look so, but it was only a way we
had to talk of each other thus w —vie ro
' ally always didn't mean it."

tion, is the second city in the Union,
and in area, since tho act of consolida

miles, or 82,700 acres. The densely in
habited portion extends abou't 4 miles

The Chelapeal,e Fisheries.—This has
been one of the most profitable seasons
the fishermen have had for many years.
At Mr. John Stump's shore, on the Sun
quchanna, on Tuesday night last, 50,-
000 herring were taken at AO haul.—
At Mr. James A. Lackland's fishery, on
the Elk River side of Turkey point,
400,000 were taken at one haul. Os
bourn, at the battery,. Spesutia Island,
caught 480,000 at one haul; and Bond
is said to have canglit 720,000 at one
haul. All the other fisheries have done
equally well in proportion to the capa
city of their seines and the number of
men employed. Nothing' like it has
been known for thirty years. One of
these large schools of herrings, making
their way to the head waters of the
Chesapeake, tire said to make a noise
upon the water lilie the-approach of a
violent storm.—Cecil Democrat, 12th.

all parts of the oonfederacy were Ml*
°way looking forward, hopefully, yet
not wi thong an ocasekantlekatd ofdonbt,
to see his great and itowarfid party
meet battnontouly, and forgetful of the
apparently oonilititing interests of dif
ferent sections of our country, adopt a
platform broad enough fbr all kilter* at
our country to stand upon, and nomi
nate standard bearers to the support of
whom all could rally and Arnow to a
glorious victory. - Day after day when
the Convention met they anxiously
awaited the announoement of its 'pre
coodinge &Ha still hoped patriotism
would conquer party spirit and local
and personal prejudices, until the Con
vention in its wisdom adjourned to re
assemble in Baltimore, on the 18th of
Jane. With the adjournment of the
Convention their hopes grew stronger
and have continued to grow more bril
liant daily until hope has changed into
confident expectation. It is true dif
ferences existed at Charleston, bat not
irreconcilable differences, and now, kthe
Democracy of every State, north and
south, are bound by every sense of duty
and safety to re-assemble at Baltimore
and make ono more effort for the Union
and the Constitution. From present
appearances every State wili be fully
represented at Baltimore, and the &tit/-
gates, having had time for deliberation
and consultation with their constitu
ents, will meet, determined to sacrifice
everything but principle to ware anion
and harmony. This being the case we
have every reason for expectation of
happy results, Public sentiment is
unanimous everywhere in one demand
—"Tho National Democracy is ti:lanky
barrier between fanaticism and the
Constitution, the only national bond
which binds the States together in a
common sisterhood, and it must con
tinue united—its harmony must. and
shall be preserved."
What though some sacrifices must be
made ? This was necossa7 at the time
of the formation of the c...,orietllation,
and they were made. In every consti
tutional obmpromise to preserve the
integrity of the Constitution and the
Union of the States there sacrifices wore
necessary, and we cherish the memory
of departed patriots, and delight to
honor living statesmen because they
magnanimously made them. Now,
more urgently than over, it is demand
ed that some sacrifloe shall bo made for
the Union and Its attending blessings;
I and who will dare say it is not our duty
to follow the illustrious examples of the
framers and preservers of our Union ?
Let true Democrats forget past differ
ences, and resolve that the National
Democracy shall continue united, as in
the past. Let the hopes ofoar political
!opponents be disappointed, and the
I confident anticipations of t a ke friends of
'the Union-be realized. Mt a spirit of
harmony prevail and victory will bo

A New York Editor Makes an "Offer"
to a Charlatan Slave.—The editor of
the Rhome (N. Y.) Sentinel, who was a
delegate to the Charlestown Conven
tion, relates that at whore he stopped
there was a bright mulatto female slave
of fifteen years of ago, sprightly and
intelligent, could read, write, sing and
play the piano. lie proposed to ber
that ho would buy her of her mistress,
(who is a widow.) She said sho did
not want to go, and would not leave
her mistress, as she knew ber mistress
would not part with her. The editor
told her be would give ber mistrio
$2,000, for her, and when she was thus
temptbd with the above sum spread out
in gold before her vision, if she would
consent to the transfer, the eyes of the
colored girl grow watery, and her lips
quivered, but she declared she would
not bo seporated; she said she would
not go with him from her mistress—
that she loved her mistress, and her
mistress loved her, but If he would take
her mistress along, sho would follow.—
The editor subsequently related the
conversation to the owner, who smiled,
and shaking her libad , sai d Viet no per
suasion of any kind, nor money, could
induce "Grace" (the slave) to leave her,
and that that was the i feeling of nine
teen-twentieths of the slaves of the
South.
