A judicial storm is brewing. The
Judges of our several Courts will hold a
meeting to-day and resolve themselves
into a committee of ways and means,
with a view of investigating and deter
mining the momentous question-how
long they can subsist without meat and
bread? In other words, can they coun
lInue to administer justice without
price? Their salariesp. have not been
paid for six months. When they are
paid, it is in warrants which pass at a
discount of fifty per cent. The judges
havse discoveled that they dannot live
upon air or the honor of their position,
and they will meet to-day to determine
whether they are bound to hold court,
or dole out justice any longer without
compensation. It is a momentous ques
tion to a great many people.-[New Or

A Chinese almanac is a most extraor
dinary publication. The days for plow
ing, building, travelllng and marrying
are laid down in it with the greatest
minuteness. The whole period of four
seasons are divided into twenty-four
solar terms, each possessing some char
acteristic name, and corresponding to
the day on which the sun enters the
first or fifteenth degrees of one of the
twelve signs of the zodiac. As the Chi
nese is a uInar calendar, the places of
these solstices, equinoxes, etc., which
regulate the three great festivals of the
year, are changed every year. There is
also the iutercalculation of the arrears
of the Chinese year of 3534 days, which
in a period of every thirty-two or thirty
three months, amount to a great month
of thirty days , which is accordingly in
troduced, every two or three years, in
such a way as to preserve the order of
these twenty-four periods.
A LABOR OF Lo'VE.-A California
story tells of a man who resolved to quit
drinking, and went to a notary to get
him to draw up an affldavit to that effect.
The document was drawn, read and
proved; the party held up his hand and
murmured the usual "s'elp me." It was
promptly sealed and delivered.
"What's to pay?" asked the pledger.
"To pay-to pay!" exclaimed the no
tary, "nothing, of course; that is a labor
of love."
"Nothing to pay!" exclaimed the grate
ful, but very forgetful afflant. You're
a brick. Let's take a drink."
SounTH CAnoLINA COPNENTIoN.-The
Columbia Phsuenix says: The list of del

In three or four districts the delegates
are all black, and in many others there
are three or four of that color to one
white. Most of the negroes are igno

the extremest lengths of diabolicalism
that their bedatly passions and the wick
ed suggestions of the fiends who control
them suggest.

TEn GAAtE oF EUCUIRI.-A friend
who has been spending a year in Eng
land, informs as that the John Bulls
have become much addicted to the
American game of "Euchre," of late,
and who have made some improvements
upon the Americau game, a description
of whiflh, no doubt, will be interesting
to Euchre players.
For example, with every pack of play
ing cards sold there is onle blank card at
the top of the deck, used in this Coun
try frequently as a "marker." But the
English make a better use of this white
faced card. They include it in the suits,
making 53 to the deok, instead of 52;
and to the euchre deck 29 instead of 28
cards. This blank card at first was
called "Louis Napoleon.," but has been
subsequently eo rupted into the less em
phonions title of "yerker." The yerker
then is the highest ranking card in the I
euchre deck, having capacity to capture
either of the "boeers" or the ace, so
that a man may be euohered with the
ace and two "bowers." Whenever the
"yeroker" is tuned up by the dealer,
that person has the privilege of "mak
ing the trump," and can "make it to the
most advantageous suit in his "hand."
The game is a novel one, and, we under
stand, affords much diversion to the
playeras.--asNriUe Baascr.

The followinlg aphorisms on. love are
oommunicated to the Galaxy:
WoVnen like men who flatter them;
but love those who despise them. Every
-n&n, iby, the general law, loves all wo
nuent~t wome .loves one man. Men
are by nature polygamists; women, mo.
nogatnists. Magnificent lovers make
wretched husbands, and excellent hus.
bands the worst of lovers. Women be.
come attached to0 men not for what men
do for them, bpt what they do for men.
Gratitude payes the way to their esteem,
but selfshness opens the way to their
love .The smallest: tenderness out
weighs with'.a woman the greatest sac
rifee. She will forget the hero who
w.ould die in her behalf, for the mere
gallant who would give her caresses,
sud nothing more. When women's
hearts are touched tha- are all kindred.
The merest dowdy then becomes the
sister of the proudest duchess. Women
desire to love, primarily, and men to be
loved; hence, women idealize and men
analize, the objects of their affection.
If a woman will not love you, make her
hate you, and she is half yours; for hate
is too unnatural to her to last, and its
first rebound is tenderness, and the so
cond passion. Men never love women
whbomthey do not, and women never
love menou whom they do, unhdrtsand.
"'Forever," in the rhetoric of a woman's
affection, is a sentimental hyperbole
meaning a period of exactly two months.
How SooN FORGOTTEN.--So lately
dead! So soon forgotten! 'Tis the way
of the world. Men take us by the hand
and are anxious about the health of our
bodies, and laugh at our jokes, and we
really think, like the fly on the wheel,
that we have something to do with the
turning of the earth. Some day we die
and are buried.. The sun does not stop
for our funeral; everything goes on as
usual; we are not missed in the streets;
one or two hearts feel the wound of af
diction; one or two memoiries still hold
our itames and forms; but the crowd
moves in its daily circle, and. in three
ieays, the great wave of time sweeps
over our steps, and washes out the last
:estige of our lives.
USEFUL HINTS.-Save your soap-suds
for garden plants, or for garden yards
when sandy.
WVash your tea trays with cold suds,
)olish with aklittle flour and rub with a
dry cloth.
Frozen potatoes make more starch
than fresh ones; they also make nice
cake.
A hot shovel held over varnished fur
niture will take out white spots.
A bit of glue dissolved in skimmed
milk and water will restore crape.
Ribbons of any kind should be washed
in cold soap-suds and not rinsed.
If your flat-irons are rough, rnb them
with line salt, and it will make them
mnooth.
Oat-straw is the best for filling beds.
It should be changed once a year.
Wood-ashes and comnmon salt will
soak the cracks of a stove and prevent
the smoke from escaping.
Sal Soda will bleach very white; one

A HORRIBLE CnOmAT.-There is no
telling the ways that men, greedy for
gain, will not avail themselves of to ad
vance their fortunes, especially during
nd since the war, as men have been
ounid willing and anxious to sell soul
and conscience for a httle tilthy lucre.
A few days since an incideat occurred
which very forcibly illustrates this. An
rishmnan was employed to dig up and
emove some of the bodies of Union
soldiers in the Wealeyan cemetery of
this city. In lifting the coflins he thought
they seemed unusually hollow in their
maond, and opening some of them dis
-overed that no bodies had ever behen
placed i. them at all, nothing but planks
or square blocks of wood. The mystery
to the honest Hibernian was great, but
swhen it was told him that the Union
soldiers were buried by contract, the
ndertakers receiving so much per cof
in, and then that the bodies could be
sad at a handsome proft to some med
al college, the doubt was at once re.
moved, and the avenue to a wealth

THE Six D 1EDNs 0op iNNin.l) r Ns.
-Theo mo# ;foolia} predicamwett a -man
can got iptoigs to get drunk. In drunk
ouness evpry man shows :his strongest
and most ardeInt passion.: There are six
kinds of drunkards, ad if you will go
into a city driuking place,. where there.
are a dozen anet nuder the'intluence of:
liqgor,-yoqr#.il .bo sure to And these six
different characters, representing differ
eat anispal ::
The first is apeodrmnk. , He leapst and
sings,.and yells, and dances, making asll
sorts of ,grimaces, and. cutting up all
sorts of "monkey shines" the excite the
laughter of his eompaioues.' Terribly
silly is the drunken clown. -
The second' i tthe tiger-drunk. He
breaks the bottles, breaks the chairs,
breaks the heads of his fellow-earoasers,
and is full of blood and thunder. His
eyes are fired with vengeance, and hLis
soul raves with mmrdearms fury. Of
this sort are those who abuse their farm
ilies.
The third is hbo-drunk. He rolls in
the dit on the floor, grunts and slob.
hers, and, going into the street, makes
his bed in the first diitch or filthy corner
he may happen to fall into. He is hea
vy, lumpishb, and sleepy, and cries in a
grunting way for a little more to drink.
The fourth is puppy drunk. He will
weep for kindness, and whine his love,
and hug you in his arms, and kiss you
with his slolbbery lips, anid proclaim how
much he loves you. You are the best
man be ever saw, and he will lay downl
his money or his life for you.
The fifth is owl drunk. He is wise in
his own conceit. NTo man must differ
with him, for his word is law. He is
true in politics, and all matter must be
taken as authority. His arm is the
strongest, his voice is the sweetest, his
horse is the fastest, his turnips the lar
gest, his room the fluest in all the town
or land.
The sixth and last animal, is the
fox-drunkman. Lie is crafty, ready to
trade horses and cheat if be can. Keen
to strike a largain, leering with low
cunning, peeping through cracks, listen
ing under the eaves, watching for some
suspic)iots thing, sly as a fox, sneaking
as a wolf. He is the meanest drunkard
of them all.
THE FIRST TW~INTY YEARS.-Livo as
long as you may, the first twenty years
form the greater part of your lift. They
appear so when they are passing; they
seea to have been when we look back to
them; and they take up more room in
onur memory than all the years that sue
ceed theam. If this be so, how important
that they should be passed in phlnting
good principles, cultivating good habits,
fleeing from all those pleasures which
lay up bitterness and sorrow for the time
to come! Take good care of thie first
twenty years of your life and you may
hope that the last twenty S ears will! take
good care of you.

benefits for man. As the eagle to the
owl, so the white man to the blsek,
stand in the same relative positions as
they were round in the twilight of his
tory. Let the eagle but attempt to take
the owl to its eyries and Its habits, and
both fall to the earth together. Let the
white mtan assume to make the negro
his equal, and the vain effort to erase
the lines drawn by the, finger of God
assures the certain downfall of the -in
vaders of the majesty of His work of
creation; the eagle is ruined with the
owl-and a fitting symbol of this is the
vain effort the American people are now
making.

Ni:c*uano SUDPrUAon.-FourStates have
recently voted on this question, three
directly, and one ind;rectly. Ohio rejec
ted it by 40,000 direct majority. Ten
thIousitnd voles not cast were connted
ius the negative. Kansas gave 9,000
majority aga'nst it; Minnesota, 2,000;
andl New Jersey, where the issue was
i!ndirectly presented in the election of
members of the Legislature, voted
against it by 17,000 majority.
In O)hio there are 1,171.720 white and
only 18,442 black males; in Kansas the
I,'opoaltiou is 58,852 white to 286 black;
in Minuesota, 91 S04 white to 126 black;
in New Jersey, 322,183 white to 12,312
black. This is from the census of 1860,
it is probable that the relative propor
tion of white males in those States is
still gieater at the present time.
It may be well asked whether, if those
States with a white male population of
ftlly two millions, are unwilling to let
some thirty thonsand negroes vote, they
should require negro safftrags in the
South where the blacks are se mneh
lmote nearly equal in numbers to the
whitesl If every ortherun State should
adopt negro sufftrage for Itself, it shonuld
still o0lose lthat measure in the oath,
because it would give the blacks too
much lower here, uand thus give them
frequent o'qortualntes of ontrollng
Ihe le. islalion and administratiou of the
Federal Government. Tbo Northera
States are wise enough to see this, sand
will oppose negro suftage in the Sonth
even more tronmgly, it possible, than
they will reject it or thems~elves-[Gei.
