aaid illicit carnal intercourse was unknown to complainant
at the time of his said iutermarriage with
said Maria; that Bincesaid intermarriage of said

beautifying, curling, preserving, restoring and t
strengthening the Hair, relieving diseases of the \
skin, curing rheumatic pains and healing external ,
wounds. Bounded by no geographical lines, the ,
reputation of Barry's Tricopherous pervades the
Union. The sales of the article of late years have I
increased in a ratio that almost exceeds belief. 1
Professor Barry, after a careful examination of bis 1
sales-book, finds that the number of bottles de- |
livered to order, in quantities of from half a gross :
upward, during the year 1852, was within a trifle
of 950,000.
It is unnecessary to present at length the evi- f
dences of the wonderful properties of the Trico- (
pberous when the public have furnished such an ,
endorsement as this. The cheapness of the article, and
the explanations given of its chemical action ,
upon the hair, the scalp, and in all cases of .
superficial irritation, first recommended it to 1
the attention of the people. This was all that c
the inventor desired. Every bottle advertised t
itself. The effects of the fluid exceeded expec- s
tation. It acted liko a charm. The ladies would f
not be without it Country dealers in every a
section of the United States found tbey must (
have it; and thus was built up a wholesale a
trade of an extent hitherto unheard of as regards f
articles of this kind. The highest point has not
yet been reached, and it is believed that the sales
this year will be a million and a half of bottles. I

it is provided that "whenever it shall be made ap- a

THE REP UKLIC.
The Turners' Society.
This word Turner is derived from the French
word f o it mrr, to turn, and tournament, a inock
fight, or military sport, and is expressive of the
athletic exercises practised by the members of the
society. But the Turners are something more
than athletes. They lutve a social organization
which is represented to combine principles averse
to Christianity also.
The following funeral address, translated from
one of the German papers of Louisville, for the
Journul of that city, is an exhibition of the views
of death and immortality ontcrtaincd by this society:
Funeral Oration of the Turner Jungst.?
FWctida: When here at the grave of our young
friend John Hubncr I speak a few words, I do it
in the name of the Turner Society existing in this
city, the members of which advocate progress
even in religious matters. Do not therefore expect
any canting remarks in the tenor and spirit
af the church. Ouryiewsof human existence?
its origin and dissolution?differ essentially from
those of any Christian or other sect. We do not
believe in trie immortality of the essence of the
joul as different in kind from the dissolution of the
body. For us neither body nor spirit is lost. In
the universe, nothing, not even an atom, is lost;
but everything is nablo and subject to varied
changes of forms. It is merely the form that
changes. This is equally applicable to all things,
inimate and inanimate; to man, endowed with
reason, the lord of creation, as well as to the low
est creature?to the grain of sand upon the seashore,
as to our planet, the earth itself.
The spirit of our brother?the soul, if you
choose?i. e. whatever of knowledge, experience,
md skill he possessed, continues to live in the
spirit of the whole human race now and in the
future. The body, becoming dust and ashes,
simply returns to the primitive element of the
mother earth, the same earth from which evefy
living thing draws the material for the nutriment
ind support of its physical parts. This is merely
i brief outline of our religious views. They are
in the spirit of tho ago in which wo live, and
based upon the results df science, experience, and
reason. And this belid^rthis trust, not only affords
composure, but we find in it a beautiful, glorious
consolation, an elevation of heart and mind,
which we esteem iniinjtely superior to all the deluiions
of the fantastical and fanatic. Our young
friend has departed home to his rest at an ago at
which, ordinarily, not only the pleasures and enjoyments
of the world, but also its sorrow and its
care, begin. Much that is desirable might have
been in reserve for him. Many a right and noble
work for his kindred, his fellow-men, and for
himself, ho might have beon able yet to project
ind accomplish. Fate decreed it otherwise, and
For this we mourn.
We heartily sympathize with a faithful sister
for the loss she has sustained through an oarly
leath; and in order to give expression to this sentiment
we nrc here, in him has died an honest,
worthy man, who might also have become an

Society lias lost an excellent, though a youthful,
nomber. Indeed, whoever is acquainted with
he principles of our society must., from tha t fact,
Iraw the conclusion that John Hubner was air efIcient
man and an excellent Turner. A man
hat carries within him 110 intellectual aspirations
md warm feelings will never join a Turner Socic;y.
Let us not, therefore, remember him only
lere at the grave, but let the remembrance be a
asting one. The good qualities of the deceased
leserve and demand it. But thou, excellent
foung friend, rest, gently?and peace to thy
tshes!
By order of the Turner Society.

Mac aula y is Up.?When this phrase resounds
hrough the passage-ways and aisles of St. Steihen's,
there is always a sudden and rapid movenent
among the loungers and hangers-on of Pariament
House. A loud slamming of doors and
ihutfling of feet is heard; a rush toward the enhance
of the Commons; a buzz and sensation
hat betokens something important going forward.
The strangers, idle before, crowd into the
galleries; the reporters prick up their ears, and
even the obese country members, who are quietly
taking a chop at their club, bolt the food and the
porter, nnd hobble hurriedly to the seats that have
not known them for some time.
The cause of the unwonted fivacity is. that
Thomas Babington Macaulay is on his legs, to
ipeak to some question, and such is the reputaion
he has left in Parliament as an orator, that ,
10 one would miss hearing him, if lie could help 1
t, for the world. When it was announced Into- '
y, therefore, that "Macaulay was up" in the de- '
late on Indian Affairs?a debate that had already '
ontinucd through two weeks, exhausting the '
alcnts as well as the pa tience of members?all tire
eats in the House of Commons were at once
tiled, and that noisy nssombly maintained a rigid ]
md respectful attention until the orator had ,
dosed?saving, of course, the customary hears ,
ind cheers which, in his case, were rather more
requent than usual. 1
His speech was characteristic in every respect, '
lot very profound nor bold, but very brilliant, with
earned episodes and admirable strokes of learned |

ivcrybody but convincing nobody that was not ]
ilroady convinced, and carrying oft" the plaudits j
>f the house, it' not its votes. In other words, it
vas an elaborate, glowing, and astonishing essay, ]
vorthy of the great Edinburgh reviewer and the i

Minnesota River Trade. *
If any thing could excite surprise in these days
of progress and improvement, the change which
the lumber trade of Minnesota has wrought within
a few years is well calculated to do so. After
the extinction of the Indian title to the pine lands
on the St. Croix, a few enterprising individuals
took possession of the water-power at the Fails of
St. Croix; others made locations where waterpower
could he obtained from small tributaries
below the Falls. The object of these locations
was the erection of mills for the manufacture of
lumber for the St. Louis market. At that time
the rafting and running of pine logs to St. Louis
was not thought of.
In 1844 the dam and boom at the Falls of St.
Croix broke away during a freshet, and a quantity
of pine logs, collected for the supply of the
mills on the river, were carried down to Lake St.
Croix.
The logB, once in the lake, could not be converted
into lumber, there being no mill in the vicinity.
The owners, therefore, desirous of realizing
something for them, concluded to raft and
run them for the St. Louis market. The logs
were sold at that place?the greater portion to
West & Vandeventer, who had saws arranged for
sawing thein. Their mill from that time took the
name of the "Pine Mill;" which it retains to this
da&. i
The exportation of lumber in the log thence- |
forth became a business, and was confined entire- ,
ly to the St. Croix for several years, during which j
time the demand continued to increase. Every ,
mill in St. Louis became a "pine mill," and many
mills were constructed for the manufacture of
pine lumber at other important points on the
river.
in loto a rrosnei in me Mississippi carneu a
large amount of logs whicii had been obtained to
supply the mills at St. Anthony over those. Falls,
thus demonstrating the practicability of running
logs from the Mississippi pineries to the St. Louis
market, a thing that had been considered among
the impossibilities. (
From that period to the present the amount of
capital invested in the logging on the Mississippi ]
and St. Croix rivers has gradually increased,
while the demand for pine logs on the river be- j
tween our territorial line and St. Louis has increased
much more rapidly. There are now fifty- ,
five mills on the Mississippi river, (including
those in St. Louis,) which are constructed for the
manufacture of pine lumber. The moderate supply
of pine requisite for these mills (exclusive of
the supply of hard-wood) may be safely estimated
at fifty millions of feet. Owing to the difficulty
and risk of running logs from Chippewa, Black,
and Wisconsin rivers, the millers can only look to
the Mississippi and St. Croix for any certainty of
obtaining this supply.
The Mississippi and St. Croix this season, ow- ;
ing to the retention of logs in the country last
year, will probably send from thirty-five to forty ]
millions of feet of logs to a market below. Hereafter,
howover, we do not believe it probable that ,
the supply cut for exportation will be equal to tlie
demand.
There are now on the St. Croix nineteen upright
and two rotary saws in operation; on the
Mississippi there are thirteen upright and one
circular saw operating and about to be put in
operation. The St. Croix, therefore, will require
for the supply of mills on that river, say twenty two
millions of feet. The mills oil the Mississippi
will require, say fifteen millions of feet, 'tnis
exhibits an aggregate of thirty-seven millions of
feet of logs required for the supply of mills at
home, and a market for fifty millions of feet
abroad.
Let us now see what amount ot logs are cut *
annually to supply this demand. On the St.
Croix last winter tnere were twenty-three teams
of oxen, besides some horse teams. The whole
may have cut and hauled say thirty millions of
feet. On the Mississippi ana Rum rivers there 1
were twenty-one teams, and the logs cut ajid <
hauled were in the neighborhood of twenty-two i
millions of feet. In all, say fifty-two millions of
feet, worth five dollars per thousand, and amounting
to two hundred and sixty thousand dollars. (
If we deduct the quantity necessary for the ^
supply of the mills at home from the quantity cut ^
last winter, wo find but about fifteen millions of
feet for exportation in the log; and should there j
be the same increase in the number of saws next j
year that has boon the past season, there will be
scarcely a supply for the demand at homo the ,
next year, unless there is a corresponding increase
in logging operations next winter.
We understand that arrangements arc now
making for a very great increase in the logging
business of the Rum river and its tributaries. To
render the logging operations on the Mississippi
profitable to the operator, there should be an improvement
in the shear-boom at the Falls of St. I
Antliony, so that the logs .may oo prevented lrom
lodging' on tho Falls. The facilities for securing
logs in the Mississippi boom, and for rafting out
if it,'should also be increased, and then the logger (
could feel securo of reaching market with the proceeds
of his labor early each season, let the quan- ^
;ity of logs be ever so great. I

The Happy Man.?The Boston Commonwealth ^
nakes the following extract from a phonographic (
report of a recent sermon by Rev. Theodore Pnr- '
ker, of that city. The original of tho picture is
understood to be a highly-esteemed resident of *
Newton: . ,
"The happiest man I have ever known is one '
far enough from being rich in money, and who t
will never be vory mucli nearer to it. His calling 1
fits him, and he likes it, rejoices in its process as i
much as in its result. He has nn active mind, |
well filled. He reads, and he thinks. He tends i
liis garden before sunrise every morning; then <
rides sundry miles by the rail, does his ton hours'
work in the town; whence he returns liapp}' and 1
cheerful. With his own smile ho catches tho ear- ?
liest smile of the morning, plucks the first rose of \
lis garden, and goes to his work with the little r
lower in his hand, and a great one blossoming out t
if his heart. He runs over with charity as a cloud 1
with rain; and it is with him as with the cloud-? s
what coming from the cloud is rain to the inealows,
is a rainbow of glories to the cloud that
lours it out. The happiness of the affections tills t
ip the good man, and he runs over with friend- '
iliip and love?connubial, parental, filial, friendly 1
;oo, and philanthropic besides. His life is a per- h
letual'trap to catch a sunbeam,'and it always t
springs' and takes it in. I know no man who "
rets more out of life; and the secret of it is that s
ic does his1 duty to himself, to his brother, and to ii
lis fiod. 1 know rich men, and learned men? 1
lien of great, social position ; and, if there is genius 1
n America, 1 know that: hut a happier man I have f

Washing Sheep.
The following story, which has been told sonic
time ago, though it has never appeared to any
extent in print, is decidedly rich:
Once upon a time, when the subject of temperance
was being freely discussed, the citisens of a
little town in the western part of Massachusetts
called a meeting to talk over the matter. There
had never been a temperance society in the place,
but after some little discussion it was voted to
form one. They drew up a pledge of total abstfnence,
and agreed that if any member of the society
broke it lie should be turned out.
Before the pledge was accepted Deacon D. rose
and said lie had one objection to it; he thought
Thanksgiving Day ougfit to be free for the members
to take something, as he could relish his dinner
much better at thin festival if he took hia
glass of wine.
Mr. L. thought the pledge was not perfoct. lie
didn't care any thing about Thanksgiving, but
his family always made a great account of Christmas,
and he couldn't think of sitting down to dinner
then without something to drink. He was
willing to give it up on all either days, and, in fact,
that was the only time when he cared any thing
about it.
Mr. B. next rose, and said he agreed with the
other speakers, except in the time. He didn't
think much of Thanksgiving or Christmas, though
he liked a little at any time. There was one day,
however, when he must have it, and that was on
the 4th of July. He always calculated upon having
a "regular drink" on that occasion, and he
wouldn't sign the pledge if it prevented him from
celebrating Independence.
Squire 8., an old farmer, followed Mr. B. He
was not in the habit of taking anything often, but
must have some when he washed his sheep. He
would sign the pledge if it would give him tlio
privilege of imbibing when he washed sheep.
Why, ne considered it dangerous for him to keep
his hands in cold water without something to keep
him warm inside.
After some consideration, it was concluded that
sach member of the society should take his own
>ccasion to drink?Deacon D. on Thanksgiving,
L. on Christmas, &c. The pledge was signed by
l large number, and the society adjourned in a
lourishiug condition, after it should be the duty
>f the members to watch each other, to see that
they- did not break the pledge.
The next morning Deacon D. walked to his
neighbor's yard, who, by. the way, was Mr. S.,
the sheep man, wondering, us it was a bitter cold
morning, whether S. was yet up. He met his
neighbor coming out of the house, and to his surprise,
gloriously drunk?or, to use a very modern
phrase, "burning a very beautiful kiln.'
"Why, S.," exclaimed the astonished deacon,
"what does this mean, sir? You have broken
your pledge, and disgraced our society and the
temperance cause."
'' Not?li ic?as you know; no?liic?deacon, 1
tiaint?hie?broke the?hie?pledge, deacon."
"Certainly you have, air, and I shall report you
to the society. You agreed not to drink except
when you wash sheep. You cannot make me
think you are going to wash such a cold day as
this."
"Follow me, deacon."
S. started for the barn, and the deacon followed.
On entering the door, the deacon saw a large
cash-tub standing on the floor, with an old ram
ied to it, the poor animal shaking dreadfully with
:old, and bleating pitifully.
"Hie?there, d-deacou," said S., pointing to
.he sheep with an air of triumph, "that old?
lie?ram has been washed six times this?hie?
norning, and I?hie?ain't done with him?hie?
pot!"
The deacon "mizzled."
The Law of Blood.?Layard, in his interesting
description of Asiatic manners and customs, as
veil as antiquities, thus describes a remarkable
:ustom now in force among the tribes of wanderng
Arabs:
"One of the most remarkable laws in force
imongst the wandering Arabs, and one probably of
;he highest antiquity, is the law of blood, called
.he Thar, prescribing the degrees of consanguinity
vithin which it is lawful to revenge a homicide.
Although a law, rendering a man responsible for
>lood shed by any one related to him within the
iflli degree, may appear to members of a civilized
community one of extraordinary rigor, and involving
almost manifest injustice, it muRt nevertheless
be admitted that no power vested in any
one individual, and no punisnment however severe,
could tend more to the maintenance of order,
and the prevention of bloodshed amongst the wild
tribes of the Desert. As Burckhardt has justly
remarked, 'this salutary institution has contributed
in a greater degree than any other circumstance
to prevent the wnrliko tribes of Arabia from
exterminating one another.'
"If a man commit a homicide, the Cadi cnleavors
to prevail upon the family of the victim
o accept a compensation for the blood in money,
>r in kind, the amount being regulated according
o custom in different tribes. Should the offer of
>lood money be refused, tho 4Thar' comes into
?peration; and nny person within the 'Khomseor
ifth degree of blood of the homicide, may be legally
killed by any one within the same degree of
consanguinity to the victim.
"In most encampments .are found refugees,
lometimcs whole families, who have left their tribe
>n account of a homicide for which they are amelablc.
In cose, after a murder, persons within the
Thar' take to flight, throe days and four hours
ire by immemorial custom allowed to the fugitives
jeforo they can bo pursued. Frequently they
:iever return to their friends, but remain with
those who give them protection, and become incorporated
into the tribe by which they are adopted.
Thus there are families oft lie Harb, Aneyza,
Dhofyr, ami other great clans, who for this cause
lave joined the Shftininar, and arc now considllVa/iiiiintlir
f tin linniioi/lu -u*all
vander from tout to tent over the Desert, or even I
ove through the towns and villages on its bor- H
lers, with a chain round his neck, and in raps, H
egging contributions from the charitable to en H
iblo him to pay the apportioned blood-money." H
Orioiv or Tkxts?The taking of a text seem* H
o have originated with Ezra, who, accompanied H
>y several Luvitcs, in a public congregation of H
nen and women, ascended a pulpit, opened the H
iondk of the law, and after addressing a prayer to H
ho Deity to which the people said "amen,"
'read in the law of God distinctly, and gave the
onse, and caused them to understand the readng."
Previous to that time the patriarchs deivered
in public, assemblies either prophesies or
noral instructions for the edification of the peode.
It. was not until after the return of the Jews
rom Babylonish captivity, during which period
hey had 'almost lost the" language In which the
Pontetcuch was written, that it heeamc necessary H
:o explain as well as to read Scripture to them? H
t practice adopted by Ezra, and since universally H
followed. In latter times the liook of Moses wan
hue read in the Synagogue every Sabbath day. H
I\> this custom the Saviour conformed, and in a H
lyimgoguo at Nazareth read passages from the H
VopTiet Isaiah; then closing the hook returned it H
o the priest, and preached from the text. The H
ustoin, which now prevails all ovur the Chris
ian world, was interrupted in the dark ages, when H
he ethics of Aristotle were read in many churches
>n Sunday, instead of the Holy Scriptures. H
