Farm and Household. Grass as a Renovator of the Soil. Trm gti has not yet developed one of it (TTCKtCRt benefits: but U la fast armrrmrh- injr It, namely, the benefit of (trass, both an ' a lotHM rlnL anil aa a rennvsttir of thn soil. We have a two fold benefit licro and each is important It la this, more tan artyiriiiift else, that improve our aou. lialrying and the nan of elover do this. So great la thia advantage that It ta font bo coming universal, ao far at leaHt at it i praclicabln, Dairies aro being rmilliplicu, and rapidly, not only irom llio benefit 'which results from llielr product which ta equal, ncrhapa, to that of craln, and mi per tor In manr localities but fur the clloct unon tho anil ; this la never uncer tain, but may bo relied upon at nil times. And it is the right kind of Improvement ; It is what the soil has grown, and will crow again : and It is readily converted into plant food ; a season will do It effec tually half a season Will prepare it (tho roots) for use. How readily wo clrnngo a sod fur the reception of seed In tho fall. It la but simply plowing, and th.n wait ing but a few months and tho work Is dono, the soil is Improved. Thcro has been no saving of manure, no drawing; no spreading, etc. All Is in thn soil nlrcadyt and needs but attention as ft soil. Wo thus readily and In the easiest manner Improve and keep up our land. For manv years continued (and with profit mean while) tne improvement is almost miracu lous, and most, delightful to witness. And we may grow our grasses as strong ns wo please; us what manure we please. It will but thicken the sod : add fertility. both in the manure and in tho sod, so that according to tho benetlt (and not tho loss) of the one will be the Improvement of tho other. This Is the boautv of the oners.- tion, getting first the good, and then the improvement, a good also, and In propor tlon to the first A vury heavy, old sod, that has received more or less manure, is pcrhsps unoxcellud for most crops per haps for all crops for wo have never seen any ill effects, but only good, from the use of tho sod. It is particularly grateful to fruit trees, tho smaller fruits, grapevines, eta, ana ranks with lcul mould, chip manure, weedlngs of the garden, etc For corn wo think there Is no manure equal to it in a good season, wo think ko le cause we have seen it. Mow, rank ma sure, strong manure of any kind will benetit corn ; com Is a strong feeder. Hut still sod Is tho reliance in tho old set tled portions of tho country practiced largely. It is curious that vegetable bomiceous manure should have such an influence an influence great In propor tion to what it seems to possess. Tims a fow leaves have a perceptible elfect upon tho grape-vino. A good coot of leaves ap plied In the full covered slightly with soil will give a yield tlio nnsuing season that can hardly tie credited to tho leaves alone. Yet such Is tho fact. Let vegeta ble manure be applied to the Wilson straw berry, and a similar ell'ect will take place. Now, a sod has depth, and therefore, ouaii- tity and richness. There is much more of It than of tho thickest coal of manure wo apply. It would pay to raise sod, aside from its bonelit as a grass, merely to en rich. It is hence that sod !h becoming so general, llut sod should bo treated prop erly. You can bury it too deeply. For grain or for grass no ono would turn it in deep, but plow shallow, just turning the sward well, with some, mellow soil to cover tho roots. This will keep tho richness at tho top where it is wanted. For corn, there is a deeper furrow ; tho sod is put where tho roots of tho corn, which ex tend downward, will appropriate it, and at tho time when it is well fermented, tho fermenting process heating tho soil, ami extending its clt'ect upward toward the roots as if to invite them. Tuey soon reach this bed of rotted vegetation ; this, when soil is plowed in the spring, as Is tho most successful practice. For fruit trees sod lias a high reputation and it deserves It. Hero it may bo put in ns far as tho plow will admit, or may bo worked through tho soil; either will do, only let there lie a still', old soil, bod loosens tho soil, mellows it It Is just the reverse of clogging and compacting. Tho long tap root of clover will loosen ; and roots of the grasses will do tho same, tho one above tho other below and above. Jlenco one advantage of using the two in connection, a practice universal In New York and other places. If on stu:li a soil, thoroughly cnotratad with roots, and for years, with additions of top-dressings, ami a coal of rich, fermenting manures added, as Is sometimes done, the greatest results aro effected. Tho soil is thoroughly mellow if drained, cither artificially or other wise well enriched with the right kind of pabulum, and will grow anything. Stion soils are tho soils that aro needed; and wo can make them, and with profit lu tho making, Jourmil of Agriculture Preserving Green Corn for Winter. Tiik canning of corn In families so gen erally fails that we cannot recommend tho trial. The next best thing to canned corn ii that which is properly dried. The first essential Is good corn, and the next is to dry it carefully bcCore it gets too old. Mrs. M. L. Uage, of Hoss county, Ohio, communicates the following sensible ideas about preparing it : " It is a wonder that so few should have any thing but field corn for table use: and for drying there is a still greater contrast between the common field corn and the garden varieties. I have boon used for years to drying corn. Boll the green ears a minute or two, Just to harden tho milk, then cut from the cob and spread on a cloth In the sun for two days, taking it in at night; it will then keep anywhere. When cooked, it is better to souk It a few hours, and boil in the same water. In cold weather all that is wanted for a week or two mav be wet It cooks Quicker and tastes better. A little milk and flour boiled in is almost as good as cream. have not given up drying corn, but for two years past I have put some down in salt, which give another variety, and is more quickly prepared. At first I had dif ficulty in freshening it, and ;then it was comparatively tasteless, but now I boll the corn in one water a minute or two, turn the water oil, add a lew sliced pots toes, boll until they aro done, drain off the water, and add cream or butter. We think this preparation tastes more like summer corn than the dried corn does. In salting, I cut tho green corn without boiling, and pack it, alternating, one pint of corn and a small handful of salt. W hen the vessel is about full put on a cover that -will fit down to the corn, and place a small weight on it, as it must be kept under the brine which ii makes irom its own Juice. I have, for the past two years, been can ning green corn witu tomatoes, l uso about one-fourth partooru, cooking'the two togelhor. I have never heard of but one case where creen corn rannn.l hv It. elf did not spoil, but corn and tomatoes canned together Is a perfect success. Am. Pigs in Summer. From a lato circular from John Haight, our well-known swine breeder, of l)u I'aire county, wo take the following on tho above uojeci: Hummer Is the time to make pork making it in winter is much like running a Doai against wind ana tide ; u rttiilrei too Tuucli food to keep up the animal heat II nogs nave plenty ol grass In summer, and about half the corn they will est tliev will fatten rapidly; and mv belief is that tnree pounds or pork can be made from less grain in this way than one pound can be In cold weather with a bog in a close pen. The grass is cooling and loosenlne. 1 and counteracts the feverish properties of the corn. Hogs will never melt in sum mer, however fat, if they can have access to water and mud to lie in. Mud Is very bad for hogs in cool or cold weather. It absorbs too much animal heat Milk Is very cooling drink and almost Indispensable to raising young pigs. But very little corn and no corn meal should be fed to young pig before they are four months old.

The sows should run to crass, and mav be fed on corn. Tin pigs should suck them as long as they will. In this way the pigs require but little care, and they gel ago so thai lliey will winter well on corn. Nono but breeders should try to get ninro than ono litter from a sow In a year. The fall litter will reiptlra too much care for tho farmer, One litter ran begot In April anil another In September or October following, from one sow, but tho spring pigs will have to be weaned Irom four to six wecksold, am fed on clear sour milk for two or three weeks aller weaning, and fed often.

Bees and other insects uro provided, as every body knows, with feelers or antenuie. Those aro, in fact most delicate organs of touch, warning of dangers, and serving the ani mals to hold a .sort of conversation with each other, and to commuuicalo their de sires and wants, A strong hive of bees will contain thirty-six thousand workers. Knell of these, in order to bo assured of tho presence of their queen, touches her every day with its anleiinie. Should tho queen dio or be removed, tho wholo colony disperse them selves and are seen In tho hive no more, perishing every one, and quilting all the stores of now useless honey which they had labored so Industriously to collect lor tho use ol themselves and ol tho larva1. On tho contrary, should tho queen bo put into a wire cage, placed nt tho bottom of the hive, so that her subjects can touch and feed her. they aro contented, and tho business of tlio hive proceeds as usual. This antennal power of communication is not confined to bees. Wasps and ants, and probably other Insects exercise It. If a caterpillar Is placed near an ant's nest a most curious scene will oiten arise, a solitary ant will perhaps discover it, and eagerly attempt to draw it awny. Not being able to accomplish this, it will go up to another ant and, by means of the anten nal language, brings it to tho caterpillar. Still these two aro perhaps unable toper form tho task of moving it . They will separate and brtng up relnfoVcenieuiH ol the community by tho same means, till a sulllclent number is collected to enable tho to thuir neat Unco a Week. , Fascination of Snakes. Whkn I was engaged ns a surveyor. I had frequent opportunities of seeing snakes, and ab I stood ono day very slug gishly leaning over a fence, I saw a large rattlesnake in as pretty a coll as a painter could have desired. Tho only apparent living part of it was Its head, wiileh moved to and lro. .My eyes Tell upon it and im mediately I lost power to move. I felt surprised dl..y and inditlerent How long 1 was so 1 do not know, but my pres sure against the fence caused a piece of the timber to tall; the movement aroused me, and made my fascinating enemy glide off. And bo I was saved, but the feeling of horror, sickness and fainting that came over mo effects me even while I tell it Another says: "I was passing through .Maryland with three others, when one was observed to slop behind without any assignable caune; his companions called mm, mil no not moving, ono returned and upbraided him with indltl'erenco of their companionship, nut not moving, lie camo up close to him, and Uking him by the arm, pulled htm towards him, saying, 'Why do you linger, man r' Ho now ob served his eyes werefixvd, and directing ins to tlio oticcl ol vin'ou, saw an tin meiise rattlesnake half bowing and half crawling toward him.

Thk Hah way (Nt. J.) AdvocaU, of July 80, relates the following Incident : " The Firit Baptist and the First Metho dist Churches in Itahway had each ar ranged to have their pulpits supplied by clergyman named Miller, wlio was lo found at the railroad depot it Klirabeth ou Sunday morning, and conveyed hence In a carriage. At the appointed time the f .t, !! i i .1 i i l promenading on the platform, acrnstcd dm, found his namn was Miller, told him his errand, and finally look htm on hoard and to Haliway, where he preached for the MctliiMltwt a, though lie is a baptist preitcner. The Baptists soon after found another gentleman or the name or Miller, also walking by tho depot and took him to their charch In Hah way, wbero ho gave them a good sermon. Both parlies were pleased, which Is more than can usually be said in tho cose of a doutile mistake, and all enjoyed the Joke when it was known how much their sectarianism had been in danger without receiving any actual dam-ago." Mental and Manual Labor. Thok. IIoi oiitoN of Trinity College, Mobile, has published soma curious chem ical computations respecting the relative amounts of physical exhaustion produced by mental and manual labor. According to those chemical estimates, two hours of severo mental study abstract from the hn man system as much vital strength ns Is taken from It by an entire day of mere hand-work. This fact, which seems to rest tipon strictly scientific laws, shows that the men who do brain work should be careful, first, not to overtask themselves by continuous exertion; and secondly, that they should not omit to take physics! exertion on a portion of each day, sulll cient to restore thn eoullibrium between tho nervous and the muscular systems. Ainu ana fiiirn. llrportir. "At the Point the Bayonet." of a a Kvkhv day makes ll plainer that tho policy which tho Democratic party has chosen to submit to the public Judgment In this campaign is not one of administration merely, but of absolute and forcible revo lution. - It proposes to reverse all tho na tional legislation of the last three years, to subvert tho reconstruction which the country has approved, to disperse organ ized Statu governments by the bayonet ; by the same, means to reinstate those who for t he highest crime against the Common wealth hava been temporarily disfran chised; to deprive hundreds ol thousands ol new citizens of the ballot, ami thrust them back into a Beml-unslaved condition a project which can not be accomplished but by thn most sanguinary measures. Proclaiming a wholly arbitrary test of citizenship In color--a test involving caste and Inconceivable Injustice, which em braces the entire disalle clod class, and ex cludes a Inrgo body of tho loyal people it announces that if its claim Is disregard ed it will appeal to " physical force, and place Its candldato In the AVhlto House at tho point of tho bayonet. It will not bo forgotten that tho party which thus enters into apolitical campaign with a loud threat of civil war is the one that has previously made the same threat and fulfilled It to the letter. In 18110 tho Democratic orators said that "tho South" could not be expected to submit to the election of Mr. Lincoln. In 1850 Mr. Fill more, absurdly called Conservative, had said the same thing in view of tho election of Mr. Fremont it was not bravado merely. Whatever the Northern portion of the parly may have I hough t or intended, the Southern portion was sincere and re solved ; aud ll was that portion which had entirely controlled tho party and dictated Its policy, because It was tho positive ele ment. This history repeats Itself. In 1K04 tho positive, clement wa,s tho Copperhead majority represented by Mr. Vullandig hain. Mr. Yallandlgham made the Demo cratic platform of that year, which was merely a proposal to succor the rebellion and 'secure its success. In any event It was revolution : and revolution in tho In terest of the tilavcholdiuir oligarchy. The national conscience and sagacity, however, were too strong: the Union and progress ive freo society were saved. In ltjtW tlio sanio spectacle is presented. Tho war is ovor. But tho passion aud purposees of its chief instigators remain. Defeat lu the pfl'ort to destroy tho Union lias not taught them lovo el' tho Union. Profound hos tility to tho principles of society which have prevailed, and to an Interpretation of tlio character of tho government which lias triumphed, does not sink Into acquies cence without further struggle. Foiled lu the field, what chance is there in political intrigue? Oppressed with debt, strained by long and severe exertion of every kind, vexed by tho delay of complete pacification, Is not tho country an army fatigued after its victory, sleeping upon Uie field, and fatally exposed to one daring, desperate assault f This was tho question with which tho old, positive, ruling clement of the Democratic party entered Its Convention. Fart of tho Northern wing, which that clement despises, had suggested in advance soino aeknnwlcdgHionl of actual events. The war, it said, cautiously, may have been a mistake, but it must bo honestly paid for. ueeonsirueuon may no unconstitutional, lint it la accomplished, and call ho revel-sod only in tho way Usell provides. Tho parly, justly or unjustly, has become such a stench in thu national nostrils that it may bo belter to takoa candidate from without its lines. Indeed, said this whig of tho parly, with an alt of valor, on tho very day before the Convention .met, II the Southern, delegates take part in the action of tho Convention, they must aunto uy it It may bo Imagined with what disdain the Southern delegations read these Words in a paper which their mero distant frown had lorced to renounce its candidate. They came to tho Convention led by Wado Hampton, a relentless South Carolina rebel, who declared upon his way to tako his seat that the cause of tho rebellion was not yet lost Wado Hampton, the rebel, and V allandlglmm, tho Copperhead, combined, and ruled tho Convention. In stead of recognizing actual events, their effort was to undo tho result of seven years. Tho spirit of tho two men made tne plaltorm. allandlgham put into it repudiation, which is national disgrace; ana wauo nampion inu reversal or re construction, which Is rebel revenge. Then Horatio Seymour was made candl dato for President who had declared that the success ot tho war would lie tho ruin of the I' ii Ion ; and Frank Blair for Vice President, who had insisted that recon struction should lie subverted by force, and who said that he wished to be nomi nated upon that declaration only. After eight years the spirit of the old slavehold ersarrogant, inhuman. un-American. barbarous which had been laboring to de stroy tho Uovernmcul by force, and only because It promised peacefully progressive liberty, returned to its familiar arena, a Democratic National Couventlou, and im mediately resumed control of its old ma chine tho Democratic party to secure lis old purpose; exclusive political power, UouUl any misfortune be so disastrous to civili.ation ss the restoration of such a spirit aud such a party to power in this llovernmcnt, which is truly the van-guard of equal constitutional liberty f Think of Wado Hampton, of Hubert Toombs, of Howell Cobb, or Vallamligham, of Pen dleton, of Seymour, of Forrest, of Fer nando wood, with a policy touuded upon their declarations a nd principles, succeed lug Abraham Lincoln aud the policy of the war for the Union! Is that by any possibility or sophistication a policy of peace or an era ot anything but the most exasperated Hatreds?

In tho year 1 thero lived in Iredell county, North Carolina, a Presbyterian minister by tho name of Curry. Ho was a man In comfortable circumstances, of most excellent reputation, with a largo family of sons and daughters. Among these was a boy by tho name of Nixon, noted for his sprightliness, his activity, and courage Many are tho Incidents recorded of his early days, wherein ho displayed his bravery and won tho respect and adinira tlon of his schoolmates. He seemed im pulsive, generous, and tho possessor of many nouto qualities. From childhood Nixon Currry was in love. His fair one was a girl somewhat younger than himself, attending thn same school with hhn. Sho returned his affec tion, and so ardently wcro they attached to ono another that, what is most rare in childhood, no rival was ever suffered to come between them, Thus they grew up in a delicious dream 01 tne luturc, and as thoir years increased, so apparently did their passion for each other. At fifteen this was so evident that their parents forbade all interviews be tween them. Her parents were the very F. Fb of North Carolina, aad thov had and could easily secure more brilliant pros pects for her. Tho natural consenunnces followed. Thn j lovers met by stealth and renewed tl;clr f dodges to each other, Lucy promised hat whatever should occur she would never wed any ono olso, atid Nixon vowed to stand by her bo long as a breath of life remained in 111s Doay. At length, at the ago of eighteen, when Ltlcy s relatives were doing their utmost to forco her into tho arms of another, sho fled with her true and devoted lovo. They were immediately pursued and overtaken, when tho enraged Nixon Curry, brought to bay, turned and Bhot his rival and ono of tho others, and renewed his flight. The pursuit was hot, but he succeeded in eluding them, and took refuge in the Alleghany Mountains, near tho sources of the Catawba. Here really begins the extradrdlnary ca reer of Nixon Curry. Under the pica of necessity, he took up the profession of rob ber, and speedily rendered his naino fa mous by tho number and character of his exploits. Without attempting to give any of the minor incidents, it should bo stated that the young robber never took a life for the sake of plunder, although he did it again and again to avoid arrest. Tho Governor of North Carolina offered $5,000 for his apprehension, and many parties, tempted by the offer, engaged in pursuit They frequently gained sight of tho notorious bandit ! more than once the crack of his death-dealing rifle was heard from soino adjoining rock ; but never were they able to discover his retreat or bring him to bay. Suddenly all rumors of his daring con duct ceased, and although tho search was continued, he was seen no more in North Carolina. It was judged that his quarters were becoming too hot for safety, and he had, therefore, removed them while tho opportunity remained to htm. During the first settlement of the fertile delta bordering on the St Francis, now in tho State of Arkansas, an emigrant made his appearance, calling himself John Hill. Ho rapidly bccaaie the most popular man In the settlement Although of moderate means, he was sober, industrious, generous, and of extended hospitality, and such con tinued to be his character lu the country which he had adopted for a period extend ing over atiout a dozen years. During all this time, not a ouarrelsomo word occurred between hiia and any of his neighbors ; and yet all knew that it was from no lack of courage" on the part of Hill, lor 01 an tno hunters that pierced tho jun gles of cane In the "Great Swamp," or de scended by torchlight into tho bowels of tho Ozark Mountains, he had the reputa tion of being tho most fearless. He was ovcrwDeiiningiy elected again aud again to the Territorial Legislature, and distin guished himself by his powerful and im- passioned eloquence, and speedily became icaoer in uie ranks 01 nis own party, tie was a metulier ot the Convention which formed the State Constitution, and was re elected to represent his county in the Sen ate 01 Arkansas. And now began his second series of mis fortunes. Hill s most intimate neighbors were tlio Strongs, four brothers of consid erable wealth, a great deal of ambition. and in the phrase of the country, "famous fighters." A close and cordial intimacy grew up between them and Hill, and the latter, most unfortunately and unmianlml. ly, made George, the eldest, coundanl of his previous rystory. It so happened that George had a most ambitious desire for roliiical distinction, and made a request of lill that he should resign his seat in the Senate in his favor. Hill refused, and the nrowcrs conspired lor revenge. Sending to North Carolina, they pro cured a copy of the reward offered for Nixon Curry, the notorious robber. The four, powerful aud determined as they were, dnred not attempt his capture alone, but secured the assistance of a dozen men, and made the attempt to capture Hill in bin own house. The latter -never forgot hi daily peril. He always carried an enormous double-barrelled shot gun, two long ruie pisiois, ana a formidable knile. tne attack or the Strong proved dreadful one tor themselves. Two of the brothers were shot dead, while six of tha others were badly wounded, several of them mortally, when the rt of them wers glad to withdraw for the time. This affair caused the most unbounded excitement throughout Arkansas. Tha thought that the chivalrous and highly popular John Hill could be identical with the notorious robbt-r Niiou Curry was siaggeriog to uuudrad. jury jo; time Mutts! to t. llf T I Perhaps the state of public feeling can best lie shown by the two following ex tract from the iilttlo nock Uotcue. l no first appeared when Hill became so popu lar during tne day 01 me uonvennon : " Among the truest friends 01 tne people of all in the present Convention may be named John Hill, or Bt rraucis. 11 is energy, eloquence and courage fully entitle him to the place he holds, and, as.we trust will long retain that of the leader of the Arkansas Democracy." The second extract Is taken from tho same paper for May, 1H40 : lllooav Affray, A desperate rencounter occurred In Bt. Francis last week. Two distinguished citizens were killed, and three others dangerously wounded. The difficulty resulted from an attempt to ar rest .lonn 11111, a member ot tho last Lcg Islaluro.and formerly of tho State Convcn lion, who, as it is alleged, is tho notorious robber Nixon curry, who committed such atrocities fifteen years ago In tho moun tains of North Carolina." A requisition was sent by the Governor of North Carolina demanding tho surren der of Nixon Curry. The Governor of Arkansas published an additional reward for the arrest ot John mil ; ana thus be tween the two, it seemed as if it was about up with the victim. Hill packed up hastily and set out with his wife and children for Upper Arkansas, where he knew of the existence of a band of desperadoes that he had reason to be lieve would protect him. He was pursued by over a hundred of tho citizens, many of them unarmed, and attending only for the purpose ot witnessing tno sport ana securing a part of the munificent reward that was offered for his apprehension. Hill was overtaken at Conway Court House by these men, and halting his wagon and ad monishing his wifo and children to keep tnetr places, he marched forth with nis death-dealing gun. The gallantry of tho action, and Hill's incredible bravery, operated in his favor Many wero unwilling to hurt so Intrepid a character; others were afraid; a panic was created, and Hill pursued his way un molested Subsequent attempts were made to ar rest him, but all resulted tragically or lu dicrously to those attempting it. It was known that Hill could never bo taken alive, and many began to believe that he could not when dead. Tho constant pursuit and hunting him changed his nature. Ho becamo morose and sour, and unable to follow any regu lar business. He resorted to the gambling table for tho support of his family. Ho became a drinker, too, and was speedily transformed into a most bitter and quar relsome opponent. If IIUl had been famous among the mountains of North Carolina, he now bo came doubly so. Excepting, perhaps that prince of duellists, James Bowie, there never was a man who inspired more terror. Men who had acquired a wido reputation for deeds of daring turned pale wiien they encountered John HilL Bullies who sought quarrels on tho slightest pretext accepted all manner of insults from him, without a single word of remonstrance. . Ono day in September, 1845, whilo ho wus seated at tho breakfast-table, Hill burst into tears. " What is the matter, dear?" inquired his wifo. " I havo had a dreadful dream. It is a warning, I know I shall dio before sunset Together wo have encountered perils and hardships; you abandoned wealth and position for my sake, and you havo never spoken an unkind word to mc. We have loved from childhood, and that lovo has never known abatement It is this that troubles mo not regard for self. It is in dellibly Impressed upon my mind that I shall dio a horrible death before sundown, and the thought that it will distress you, also distresses mo." These wcro tho exact words of Hill, as testified by his witu and children. His wifo told him " Then, my dear husband, do not go to court, to-day." (The Circuit Court of Popo county, In which IIUl resided, it Bhould be remarked, was in session.) "Yes, my wifo, I must go," he replied, " When a man's time has come, ho should not seek to avoid death, but meet it brave ly." Then turning to his son William, a bright boy of I'd, ho told him to go and get the Bible, and upon it ho made him swear to kill the man that killed his father. " Hero comes Moses noward, father ) he will protect you," remarked Mary, tho eld est daughter, as she descried tho young man approaching. The youth, who was a flue, powerful looking man, chatted a few minutos with the family, and then went out with Hill, who shaved and dressed himself with par ticular neatness, and embraced his wifo with the warmest affection, and with tears in his eyes, before leaving, As soon as tho two reached town, Hill began drinking deeply, and showed a more quarrelsome disposition than ever. He in sulted everybody that crossed his path, and all the entreaties of the young man failed to pacify him. Finally he declareiTthat he would clear the court house, and dashed into the court room with fury depicted in his countenance. Judges, lawyers, jury, spectators, all made a rush for the door. One man who lagged behind was seized by Hill and beaten unmercifully. Young Howard caught hold of the in furiated man and attempted to restrain him, when, glaring liko a tiger, he turned upon tho youth and struck him to tho earth. Beforo he could rise Hill sprang upon him, and commenced pounding him. " For God's sako, stop. Hill I Don't you know me, your friend Howard?" Hill seemed to grow more furious each moment, and finally clutched a pistol, de termined to take his friend's life. Howard, seeing the crisis had come, seized the bowle knil'o that protruded from his vest and buriod it in nis bosom. . . "The dream is fulfilled I" exclaimed Hill, with a smile of singular sweetness that lingered on his naturally handsome face after he was a corpse, lie then died without a groan. Howard looked down into bin face, as it unable to realize what he had dono. Then he burst into tears. God know I would not havo done it If I could have helped it, but it was either your life or mine," 110 turned away witu a gloomy air, ana upon tho Instant disappeared, lie was never seen in Arkansas again, but several years after a trader brought the news that he was living at San Antonio, Texas. Wero we writing fiction, we should here lay asido tho pen ; but as we are giving facts simply, which can bo substantiated, duty compels us to add another incident before this tale is ended. It will be remembered that Hill enjoined npon his son to avenge his death. Faith fully did that son obey the command. When he had reached his sixteenth year he left Tor Texas. He was gone several months. When he returned, he said to his mother: It is done, mother t Poor Howard I. I pitied him, but I had to do it" The Butte county (t ai.) i-re. in recii- ing the above says: "There are those who disbelieve this slory, but is true iu every parucuiar. iiouownuuuv-uiin and a more bravo, honorable, and candid man nrior to the atlair with tho Strongs, never breathed. The writer ho omitted to mention two facts first, that Curry was under the iuttuenco of strong drink when ho revealed the strange history of his early life, although ho wa a very tern perate man. The second omission is, that Mom Howard. Bnoken of. wa the be trothed of Curry' supremely beautiful daughter Alary. The Power of Music. Essays almost without number have been written on Uie power of music, but none of them have so touchingly and so powerfully shown it wonderful effective ness a the following narrative, which we find in the New orl JouriuM of Jtutte; One evening niue time since, as Mr. Theodora E. Perkins was tilting in the room ol tha Howard Mission, New York, conversing with the Rev. Mr. Van Meter, they were Interrupted by a wild looking man, who exclaimed : " 1 Awful Gardner here?" " No," replied Mr. Van Meter. "Then," exclaimed the man In accents of despair, " 1 am lost If Awiui Gardner waa here ht could savo me. lU'd know bow tJtOftUM A' baan Ult mt ro4 1 bm now I'm lostP and drawing a bowle kaife from nnder his vest ho was about to plunge It into his bosom, when Mr. Van Meter sprang rorwara ana caught tils arm. Seeing that ft would be useless to attempt to wrest the anile from 111s grasp, ror. van Meter sought to distract the man's atten tion from his suicidal purpose; but the unfortunate creature was seized with a tit of dclcrium tremens and became unman ageable. Air. reruns, not Knowing wnat tuw iu do, sat down to tho melodoon and began to play and sing, " Como ye disconsolate.'1 Tho effect was magical The man was sulllclcntly calm for Mr. Van Meter to march him up and down tho room, whilo Mr. Perkins continued to piny and ing. From " Come yo disconsolate," he struck Into "Jesus, to Thy dear arms I flee." The effect was still marked. After singing that beautiful hymn, Mr. Pcrkin com menced " Flee as a bird to your moun tain." As the strnius ol this exquisite composition filled the room, the maniac mused, sat down, covered his face with lis handB, and sobbed like a child or rather like a broken-hearted, remorseful, man. By this time, Mrs. Van Meter, who was present when the man first burst luto the room, came In with a bowl of strong cofl'co which she had thoughtfully made, and as noon as the weeping stranger be came sufficiently composed, she gave it to him. That quieted his nerves and re newed his strength, and in a little while he became completely restored to the pos session of his faculties. " Who is this man 1" was the question which rose spontaneously to tha lips of his deliverers, liut all etlorts to ascertain who he was proved fruitless. Ho per sistently refused to give his name, or to furnish any clue to his residence or identity. Mr. Perkins accompanied him to the St N Icholas hotel, where he took a room under an assumed name. But in his conversation he had chanced to men tion aclergyman living in Newport, R. I., whom Mr. Van Meter knew. The latter Immediately wrote to tha clergyman, stat ing the cane, and asking him to come to tho city. The clergyman came by the first boat and was taken at once to the hotel, where they fortunately found the poor man. The clergyman knew him well. He .... .1,.. :.. ..r it..- t' .-.1 Y ao 1, 1 ll.ll IfJtMVIUlll' .l UIO tullj lk J-L(.I11U.U, Connecticut, highly connected, a married man, and tho father of several children. On coming into' has patrimony, lie had taken to dissipation, and the result is indi cated in the foregoing sketch. But his day of salvation had come. The clergy man took him back to Hartford. He threw off tho thraldom to rum which had de graded him. He took his former position in society ; and ho is now living in Hart ford, a respected Christian mai, and afford ing in his own person and history the most remarkable instance of the triumph of music over delirium that has ever come to our knowledge. th tW Washington never made a speech. in tne zenlili ot nis lame he onco attcniDt- ed it, failed, and gave it up confused and abashed. In framing the Constitution of the united states, the labor was almost wholly performed in Committee of the Whole, of which George Washington was day after day the Chairman, but ho made but two speeches during tho convention, ot a very tew words each, something like one of Grant's speeches. Tho convention, however, acknowledged the master spirit ; and historians afilrm that had it not been for his personal popularity and the thirty words of his first speech, pronouncing it the pest mat could do united upon, tho Oonstl tution would havo been rejected by tho people. Thomas Jctierson never made speech. Ho couldn't do it. Napoleon whose executive ability is almost without a parallel, said that Ids greatest difficulty was in mining men 01 deeds rattier than words. When asked how he maintaiued his influence over his superiors in ago and experience, when Commander-in-Chief of tno army ot Italy, he said, " By reserve." The greatness and goodness of a man is not measured oy tho length or his speech es, or tnoir numuer. Costar Nowhere. We find the following item in the Vir ginia (Nevada! Treimast. July 15 : "A miner, stopping at one of the board ing and lodging houses between Taylor street and the Divide, was troubled a good ucai Dy oca-Dugs, ana resolved to start the landlady alter them. She contended that there were no bugs in the house she hitd never seen one in her room, nor felt one; but that did not satisfy our lodger, as he ciiun t occupy the same room, ara was posi tive there was at least a quart of bugs in close proximity to his bed. Ho procured a small bottle, and began to catch and bottle bca-bugs. lie persevered untu he had caught and cooked up several dozen of the pestiferous insects ; and after keeping tho "poor little birds" cooped up until they were nearly starved, slipped into the land lady s room one evening and deposited the contents 01 me pottio under the old wo man s pillow, It is unnecessary to say that she made it " mighty hot" for bed-bugs about that house the next day. The miner says he never saw such relentless war waged against bed-bugs before. Thk body of Gen. Halpino was laid out in military uniform. The coftia was of rosewood, thickly studded with silver screws, and at the sides were six heavily plated handles. The upper half of the casket was ot glass.
