The cattle trade of Texas is extending so
rapidly that thcpr&ctice of killing for bides
and tallow, it h thought, will soon be aban
doned. The Chinese government have applied
through tbe regular diplomatic channel for
admission into the English navy of a num
ber of Chinese cadetf.
The war between the railroad lwrtwtcn
Cincinnati and St. Louis having ended, the

from one I'ollar to nine dollars and fifty

It is estimated that thereare in the world
steam engines aggregating the power of

' A copy of President Andrew Jackson'
proclamation on the nullification act of
Bouth-Carolina in 1831, ncatlv printed on
fine heavy Bilk, was found recently among a
quantity of old papers in a New Haven
junk-box.
The big clock and bell which will strike
the dinner hour from the belfry of Indepen
dence Hallon July 4, 1870, cost $20,000, and
are inscribed with the words : "Presented
to the City of Philadelphia for the belfry of
Independence Hall, in the names of Adam
and ilariah Sarah Sejbert, and Carolina,
their daughter, by their son and brother.
Henry Scjbert."
Sir. Eeechcr, ia his sermon last Sunday,
gave notice that one hundred new converts
would join his church on the next Sabbath.
He said that he would not have mentioned
this except in praise of the Divine Master,
and us an indication that through His
fatherly care current events instead of
driving off those desirous of coming in, bad
eanctilied and strengthened the church.
Ex-Governor Horatio Seymour is reported
as having expressed the opinion that the
Democratic nomination for the Presidency
will hardly go outside a group of four gen
tlemenSamuel J. Tildcn, Sanford E.
Church, Thos. II. Henricks and Allen O.
Thurman. Warm and intimate personal
friend as ho is of Governor Tildcn's, he is
not able to say whether that gentleman
wants the nomination or not. '
Some time ago four ladies who passed the
London University examination for women
entered themselves into the chambers of
well known barristers for the nurnoso of
studying law. It was said at the time that
their labor would be fruitless. It seems,
however, that the ladies aro likely, as the
result of their studies, to obtain profitable
employment. One of them, whose term of
study is closed, has been engsged by a firm
of solicitors as a "consulting counsel." .
At present there is a rage in England for
old china, and the most extravagant prices
are paid for a vase or an antique set. At a
recent sale in London a set of three vases,
seven and a half inches high, fetched f COO,
and a pair of deep blue vases, with.SVatteau
figures, tbreo and a half inches high, a few
dollars more. A tiny Britannia enamel
patch box, bearing a miniature of Peg Wof
rington, sold for $70, two small vases in
Chelsea ware 1000, and so on. At a pre
vious sale a lord gave $35,000 for two vases
of Sevres china, while a particularly fine
set brought $30,000.
The U nion Tabernacle congregation, coci
poscd of a membership embracing those

denominations based on defined creeds, in
stalled their pastor, ttev. S. Miller Hage
man, formerly a Presbyterian minister, in
their place of worship, at' Apollo Hall, in
Fifth street, Brooklyn, New York, on Mon
day evening. The pastor was installed bv
Mr. Ives, one of the trustees, extending to
lum the right hand of fellowship, "on the
basis of Christianity, without bond of creed
or sect except that which makes us one in
C hriat Jesus," and pledging the co-opera

Of the coming marriage of Miss Greeley,
a ISew lork letter says: "Tbe latest in
social circles is the engagement of Miss Ida
Greeley, daughter of the famous printer and
statesman, to vol. mcnolaa Smith. Col.
froiitn graduated with high honors from
Iiufus Choate'a class at Cambridge, and is a
promising young lawyer. In appearance ho
greatly resembles Edwin Booth, and is of

was immediately the object of all eyes.
There is Edwin Booth.' thevall exclaimed.
as they levelled their opera-glasses at what
they supposed was the great actor. He was
born at Shelbyville, Kentucky, where he
spent his early ynars. He is now a resident
of Leavenworth, Kansas. During the war

not oppose it alone bv words, but. n an .r.

In December, 1SCC, I met the celebrated
Charles Carroll, of Carrollton. The Par
tridge cadets wero passing through Bald
isore pa their march from Middleton, Con
necticut, to Washington City, when we were
t,rawn up in lino before the door of "the
la.-t signer of tho Declaration of Indepen
dence.'' "These are my pupils," said Capt.
Partridge. "And in them," replied Mr.
tm!I, goo the defenders of my coun
try." Ha was a little, old man, dressed in a
brown surtout and appeared to be quito
active for a person cf his age.

his ccltbrad proclamation against tic
South Carolina nuliificrs. Davs made a
peech denouncing and ridiculing him, sav
ing among other sarcastic remarks: "If
the old gentleman must be amused, let us
give him a te-to-tcm." The remarks en
rsged Jackson, who said, "I will make a
te-to-tum of his d 1 traitorous head."
I once heard Gen. Itobert O. Hayne say,
in 18S2, "that Jackson had recently written
a letter to Calhoun this was after their
quarrel and said that, as lie was preparing
facts for history, Tic would request him to
answer the scries of interrogatories enclosed
with the letter. . "If any man foamed with
rage," said Hayne, "it was Jackson when
he received Calhoun's reply. It was so
scathing and contemptuous." By the .way,
the two fools, Partoa and Bancroft, have
in their "Lives of Jackson." that h .
North Carolinian, when Jackson himself
oj in m tuuciamauon mat ne was a na
tive of South Carolina, This statement will
be found near the conclusion of that cclc-
uratca aocument.
Tbe inscription on the monument of Jack
son at the Place D'Armes, in New Orleans,
lausincauoa uy JJcast Butler. At the
dinner given in Washington City on Jeffer
son't biithday, in 1832, Jackson sent as a
toast, .'The I cdcral Union, it mast be rre
served." This was changed by the vulgar
uiacKguaru to "ine rederal Unien, it must
and shall be preserved."
Gen. Jackson's famous letter announcing
the victory of the "eighth of January" was
written, it is said, by Col. Arthur Hajne;
ami his proclamation of 1833, which did so
much injury, was attributed to the pen of
Edward Livingston.
The recent death of the Irish patriot,
John Mitch cl, remind mc that bis son was
a captain In the Confederate army, and
commanded at Fort Sumter, when the
"boys in gray" beat oil the Federal troops
with brick-bats.
In the year 1820, I met the celebrated
JohnlUndolphof Hoanoke. He was stand
ing near a stove, on a steamboat, dressed in
a white box coat, and took no more notice
of the company around him than if it. was
composed of blocks of wood. He was tall
and thin, and had the most supercilious
manner of any man that I have ever seen.
In the year 171)9 he ran a race on the Wash
ington Jtaco Course, at Charleston, with Sir
John Nesbitb, each riding his own horse.
Kandolph won the race.

The Tcmjxranee Watcliman says: Never
6hall wc forget when first we saw his manly
form and fr. He was then known to
fame; and how great was our youthful dis
appointment, when he was pointed out by
one of his ardent friends, and we received
an introduction to him so plain and un
assuming. He was then a candidate for
shcrill of Sacramento count r, California, in
the spring of 1830. We had seen his hand
bills before tho miners assembled at tho
store of the bar, on which we worked on
the Ilio Do Los Americanos to hear the
speeches of the candidates for the Legisla
ture and for sheriff. There were sixteen
candidates for sheriff, notwithstanding the
late sncnll had been killed m attempting
an arrest. McCulloth's friend struck his
handbills, which ran thus; "Major Ben
McCulloch ; the Peorle's candidate fcr
Sheriff; Captain of th Texas Rangers; the
Border Chiertain ; tho Mier Spy ; the Hero of
many hard fought battles, etc., etc., will
address the people at Negro Bar, Mormon
Island." The day of the speaking arrived
and we were eager only to see the mighty
Texan. His principal opponent was a gam
bler with much money, who hired a Col.
K. . . . to canvass for him who also prom
ised to notice Ben favorably. He was a fine
orator and extolled his candidate almost to
the skits. We wero standing by the side of
Ben, and he said to us: "The d d old
scoundrel promised to put in a good word
for me too; and if he don't doit, by G d
I'll make him." The Colonel never spoke
of Major McCulloch, and was returning from
the speaker's stand, when Ben said to him:
"Colonel, recollect your promise to me."
He dared not go back on Ben, but stepped
back and pronounced a glorious eulogy on
the hero of Texas. Ben nodded his thanks
to the Colonel. " At lust came Ben's turn to
address the crowd. This was not his call
ing. Ho was much embarrassed, but as
cended the stand and said "Gentlemen. I
am no speaker, but have merely come
around to let you take a look at the nags,
and see which will lo to bet on. Though
tho last one on the track, he was a candi
date only tbreo days before I expect to
win the race. I am obliged to you, gentle
men." The whole crowd shouted, "Hurrah
for Ben McCulloch!" Soon the speaking
came to a close; and thetraverns and bars
were free for all the crowd, and we were all
urged to eat and drink. But a crowd of us
lingered long around Ben, intending to eat
and drink at tho expenses of the man we in
tended to vote for; 'whilst hundreds were
getting glorious over tho whisky of the other
candidates; and the drunker they got
tho louder were the cries for McCulloch.
Ben saw tho surroundings of his friends;
divined our intentions to cat and drink
with him, and said : "Gentlemen, I ought to
ask you all to supper and to take a drink;
but I tell you what's the fact, I've got no
money and can't." We then took him in
charge and liquored ; then went to supper
with him. Took care of his mule and six
shooter, aad carried him with us home to
camp. Next morning was Sunday. We all
went to electioneering for McCulloch. No
other man was thought of. His opponents
said he stood no show ; but Ben said, "Pll be
d d if I don't be elected!" The election
came and he won the contest by one vote;
and held the second moneyed position at that
time ia California. Jack llsvs was sheriff
of San Francisco, and Ben McCulloch of
Sacramento. After the election we received
a letter from Ben; which "wound up by
saying: "ir the time should ever come when
you shall need a friend; I'll not be wanting."
But we have survived he has fallen. His
career was brief but glorious. We came
Home - on our convalescence. It was our
last meet. This part of his prophecy -was
true. Through life, however, we were j
warmly remembered. We loved that man.
no was aoove money or want. A princu
princes, io mm money naa no
value, and, naturally, he outranked all ma-
kind. e hope Texas shall one day do kin
justice; and a proud monument will be
erected to him, whoso deed?, however, will
be more lasting than marble. .

Liter Colplatnt,
DYSnrsiA AKD SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased liver.
PAIN in tte rignt ale, under the
edge of tKe ribs, increase on pres-'
cure; sometime! the pain is in the
left side ; the patient is rarely able
to Jie on the left side; sometimes
the pain is felt under the shoulder
Hade, tnd it frequently extends t3
the top of the shoulder, and is some
times mistaken for a rheumatism in
the arm. The stomach is affected
v.'uh loss of appetite and sickness;
the bowels in general are costive,
c aw times alternative with hx ; the
licsd is troubled with pain, accom
psnied with a dull, heavy sensation
in the back part. There is generally
a considerable loss of memory, ac
companied with a painful sensation
cf having left 'undone something
which ought to have been done. A
slight, dry cough is sometimes an at
tendant. The patient complains of
vvearincss- and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
und he complains of a prickly sensa
tion of the skin ; his spirits are low ;
and althoughaJie is satisfied that exer
cise would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact,. he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease,
but -cases have occurred where few
of them existed, yet examination of
the body, after death, has shown the
' liver to have been extensively de
ranged.. AGUE AND FEVER.
, Da. C. M'Lans's Live Pills', m
cases of Acu and Fevei, when
taken. with Quinine, are productive
of the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to
