MR. PEPPER'S WIFE; How he Shut Her up. SwBBBBBBBBBBBBB) Mrs. P.ppcr, I labor under tho impression that it is high time you were getting breakfast. As my former housekeeper understood all ray wishc with regard to these things, I found it unnecessary to give any orders respecting them, but with you it is different. As yoa have never got a meal in this house, of course you know nothing of the regulations of the household. 'In the first place, you will make a firo in tho kitchen, put on the tea-kct-tlc, ic. Then you will make a lire in here; that done you will cook the breakfast and bring it here, as I have always been Accustomed to taking mine in bed, and I do not consider it ncccsary to depart from that custom on your account; but should you prefer it, you can cat yours in the kitchen, it is perfectly immaterial to me." THs occurred tho morning after Mrs. Pepper went to housekeeping. Mrs. Pepper ras a sensible womanshe made no reply to Mr. Pepper's commands; but as soon as her toilet was finished, she left tho room, and sitting down in tho kitchen, sho thus ruminated. "Mako tho kitchen fire ycsTll do that, then Make a fire in the bedroom, I'll see tothrt too; then take the breakfast to his bedside just bee if I do." Andthen Mrs. Pepper sat and tho't deeply for a few minutes when, apparently having arrived at a satisfactory conclusion, she proceeded to business, Having got a fire kindled in the kitchen, she curried some coal into Mr. P's apartment, and filled up his stove, having first ascertained that there- was not a, spark of lire in it. That duty performed, she next prepared tho breakfast, of which she partook with a great relish, and after matters and things were all set to rights in the kitchen, she went down town on a shopping excursion. Meanwhile, Mr. Pepper began to grow impatient. Ho labored under "the impression" that tho atmosphere of his room did not grow warm very fast, and ho began to feel unpleasantly hungry. Peeping out from behind the bed-curtairs, ho saw how affairs were with regard to Iho stove. Something like a suspicion of the real stato of affair began to dawn upon his mind. He listened for a few minutes, but all was still about the house. Hastily dressing himself, ho proceeded to investigate the affair. He soon comprehended the whole of it, and was very wrathful at first; but he comforted himself with the reflection thai he had power to punish her, and he felt bound to do it, too. Atter some search he found tho remains of the breakfast, of which ho partook with a gusto, and he then sat down to wait for Mrs. P. Showas a long time com ing, and ho had ample timo to nurse his wrath. ' While sitting there, he thus soliloquized: That ever I, Philander Pepper, should bo so treated, and by a woman too, ia not to bo believed. " I can't beIicvo it, nor I won't cither. Dut she shan't escape, that's certain; if she should, my reputation, for dignity would be forever gone! for have'nt I told Mr. Solomon Simpleton all along how I was going to make my wife stand around, and how I was a going to make her get up and make tho tire every luorning, and let mo lie abed, and how I was coin'; to shut her up in a room and feed her on bread and water, if sho dared to say she would'nt do it?' 'A cosv little arrangement. Mr. Penf - ft per,' said a soft v ice behind him. Mr. r. started up, and there stood Mrs. P. behind his chair laughing just as hard as sho could. Mr. P. put on a severe look. Sit down in that chair, madam,' he said, pointing to tho one he had just vacated, 'while I have it little conversation with you.' Now, I should be pleased to know why you did not obey my orders this morning, and where you have been all tho forenoon?' Where I have been this forenoon? Mr. Pepper, I have not the least ob jection to tell you; I have been down town doing A little shopping. I have furcl)Hsed some lovely napkins, just ook at them,' tho said, holding them up demurely, for his inspection; I only paid a dollar a piece lor them extremely cheap, don't you think so!' she added. Mr. Pepper was astonished; how sho dared to turn the conversation in this way, was a mystery to him. Suddenly hu bottled wrath broke lose. Turning fiercely upon her, ho said ßetsy Jane, you disgust me; you sem to mako very light of this matter; but it is more serious than you imagine, as you will find to your cost di rectly. Ifyou do not instantly beg my pardon, in a very submissive manner, I shall exert my authority, to bring you to a proper sense of your misconduct, by imprisoning you in one of my chambers until you are willing to promise strict obedience to my wishes.' At the close of this very eloquent and dignified speech, Mr. Pepper drew himself up to his full height, and stationed himself before Mrs. Pepper, ready to receive expressions of sorrow and penitence; ho had no donbtbut that sho would fall down at his feet, and say Dear Philander, won't you pl.aso forgive mo this time, and I'll never dj so again!' And ho was going to say, 'Hetsy June, you had better not,' but instead of doing ull this, what do you think

Uhcdidl Laughed" him right in the

facel Mr. Pepper wa9 awful wrathy. Ho spoke up in :t voice of thunder and said: Mrs. Pepper walk light up stairs, this very raiuutc, and don't you let the grass grow under your fct, whilo you aro going neither. You have begun your antics in good season, Mrs Pepper, but I'll have you to know that it won't pay to continue them, any length of timo with mo, Mrs. Pepper. Again I command you to walk up stairs.' Well, really. Mr. P., it is notatall necessary for you to 6pcak so loud I am not so deaf as all that comes to: but as for walking up stairs I have not tho least objection to do so, if you will wait until I have recovered from my fatigue, but I can't think of doing so before.' Iut you must, Mrs. IV Then all I have got to say is this, you'll have to carry rnc, for I won't walk!" Mr. P. looked at his wife for a mo-, mcnt with great astonishment; but as she began to laugh at him again he thought to himself: She thinks I won't do it, and hopes to get off in that way; but it won't do; up stairs 5hc's got to go, if I do have to carry ker; so here goes,' and taking tho form of his lady iu his arms, he soon had the satisfaction of seeing her speedily and safely lodged, in her prison and carefully locking her in, he stationed a little red-headed youth on the front door-step; to attend to callers and also see that Mrs. P. did uot escape; ond then he betook himself to a restaurant for his dinner, and after despatching that, ho hurried off to his office, and w as soon cngvossed in business. About the middle of the afternoon, nur young sentinel rushed into tho office, and said, never stopping to take breath: Mr. Pepper had better run homo just as fast as he can, for that woman . . . . i . . i r..i luai is siiui up, oe maiving an hwiui racket, and she bo tearing around th.re, and rattling things tho distressingest kind, and if sho bcant splitting up something or other, the a 1 don't know what splitting be!' m Without waiting to hear more, Mr. P. seized his hat, and hun iitd off home at a most dignified pace.' Opening tho hall door, ho stole up stairs as carefully as possible; and applying his eyes to the keyhole, he beheld n sight which made him fairly boil with rage. Mrs. P. was sitting in front of the fireplace, reading his old love letters. The one sho was engaged in perusing at that particular moment, was from a Miss Polly Primrose -who, it appealed had'once looked favorably on the suit of Mr. Pepper; but a more dashing lover appearing on tho scene, Mr, Polly sent him a letter of dismissal, promising her undying friendship, and accompanying the samo with a lock of her hair, and some walnut meats. Dut it was not the lovo letter alone th..t made Mr. P. so outrageous. He had been something of a traveler in his day, and had collected a great many curiousities in his rambles, which he had deposited in a cupboard in the very room where ho had confined Mrs. P. and she had got at them. She had split up an elegant writing desk with his Indian battle-axe, in order to have a fire, as the day was rather chilly. In one corner of the fireplace was Mr. P's best beaver, filled up with love letters. On a small table, close to Mrs. P., was a beautiful flat China dish, filled with bears oil, in which she had sunk his best satin cravat, and having fired one end of it, it afforded her sufficient light for her labors for Mr. P. had had closed the blinds, for the better security of the culprit. On sonio coals in front of tho fire, was Mr. P's christening bowl, in which Mrs. P. was popping corn, which she ever and nnon stirred with tho fiddle bow, meanwhile, occasionally punching up tho firo with the fiddle, for Mr. Pepper had, with commendable foresight, removed the shovel and tongs. Mr. P.coudescended toncep through the keyhole until ho hau obtained a pretty correct idea of what was going on within. Never was a Pepper so fired as he. He shook tho door, but it was securely fastened within, and resisted all his efforts to open it. He ordered Mrs. Pepper to open it or take the consequences; it is to be presumed thatshe preferred the consequences; Mr Pepper darted down the stairs like a madman. I must put a stop to this,' he tho't, 'or I'll not have a rag ofclothes on ray back.' Procuring a ladder, he began to mount to the bedroom, but Mrs. Pepper was not to bo taken so easily. iShc knew that he had left tho door unlocked, for she had examined it as soon as he had left, but sho had no idea of letting him have the benefit of fire; so, hastily seizing several large bottles of cologne, she threw the contents upon the tire, and in a few minutes had tho satisfaction of seeing it entirely extinguished. That duty performed she left the apartment, and locking tho door, she stationed herself in a convenient position to henr everything that transpired within. In u few moments Mr. P. was safe in the apartment, and as soon as he closed the window, he stood bolt upright in the middle of the room, and said in a deep voice Jezebel, come forth!' No answer. Jade, do you think to escape?" Still no response, Mr. Pepper, begins to feel uneasy, and hastily comI mences to search the room; but had ' not proceeded far, when ho hears a slight titter some where in the vicinii cinity of the door. Darting towards the

door, ho attempts to open it, but ho finds himself a prisoner. Thero is but one more ckance, ho thinks, and hurries' to tho window; but alas for Mr. Pepperl his wife had just removed tho ladder, and ho cannot escape. Ha sits down on a chair and looks ruefully around him, and presently he arises and picks up a few fragments of a letter which is lying on the carpet, and finds it is from Polly Primrose, lie wouders what she has done with the lock of hair. At this moment his eves fall upon his daguerrotypc, which is lying upon the table before him mechanically taking it up, he opens it, and sees what? nothing but his own face. All the rest of him being rubbed off, and around his lovely phiz is the missing curl, and the walnut meats are carefully stoved in tho corner of the case. Air. P. fairly blubbered aloud. Good!' thought Mrs. P.; 'when yoa find your level, I'll let you out, and uot till then. A little wholesome discipline will do you good, and I'm fully prepared to administer it.' How- long Mrs. Pepper kept her liego lord in duranco vile, deponent saith not, and as to what passed between them when he was released from captivity, we aro not any better infoToed, but of this we arc sure, Mr. P. might have been seen, a morning or two afterwards, to pat his head into the bedroom, and hear him say in a meek manner: "Betsy Jane, I've made the kitchen fire; and put on the tea-kettle; won't you please to get up and get breakfast."

Jfortip Bfe. FROM THE CRIMEA. . VISirSTOTIlKCAMP, VIEW OF LEBA8TOP0L. Revolting Details. -SBBBSSSsaBwaThe special corespondent of the New York Sun, under date of April 7th, writes from the scat of war as follows: This morning, having with difficulty procured a horse, I made hasto to avail myself of the grudging permission I had with much more difficulty obtained, and proceeded to the Camps of tho allied armioa. Tho English, who have lately taken up a new position on the right of tho village of Kadikoi, number in all about 0;000 men; and, although they aro now somewhat cleanly in their appearance, and somewhat better cared for than they have been, yet in their faces and forms they bare evident mark of the dreadful sufferings they have already undergone Of the eight thousand, it is believed that not more than six thousand are to b6 relied upon in an extremity. Think of these members, and then reflect that, between the 1st of October and the 30th of March, 15,000 ick English soldiers were shipped from Dalaklava. Of those not now in the hospital but to go there or to their grave?, Heaven only knows how soon some aio quar.eicd in rudely constructcdcd wooden barracks, while others still occupy tents, which, bowever, so long as the present mild weather lasts, are by no means disagreeable. But then, in this country, the continuance of ftir weather is at this season not to be relied upon. Against biting frosts and dreary snow storms, there is in the Crimea no security till thd end of April. The English arc just now taking no very active part in the seige, having some two months ago yielded their most important positions to tho French; a plain acknowledgement of inferioiity sufficiently -humiliating, one would think to British arrogance. As to that famous or, perhaps, I should rather say, that notorious personage, Lord ltaglan, who, the pu pil of Welhu' t n, has contrived at Sevastopol to blot out the glory of Waterloo, and has brought upon the arms of his country an amount of discredit which hardly another Wellington could retrieve, and upon his class, the aristocracy of England, an amount of popular indignation and contempt from which itney; at all events, most assuredly never can recover I have not yet had tho honor of seeing his lordship, but, in my rapid passage through tho English camp to-day, I have had a glimpse of the highly respectable and rather comfort ible looking house his lordship occupies; and I am sure it will be a satisfaction for rou to know that ono Englishman at east in the Crimea, and ho a Right Honorable Lord, has been able to take care of himself personally, whatever the thousands of his countrymen and his inferiors nobody but the peof)lc may have suffered. And 'then lis lordship's . house is well guarded, too, and above it the flag of England flings its tarnished folds upon the wind. From the English camp I proceeded to get my first hasty view of Scbastopol, travelling a miserable road, and shocked and disgusted at every step by tho spectacle of unburied skeletons and carcasses skeletons and carcasses of horses, mules and men aye men! not very many men, but quite enoughdismal monuments of the recent past in this peninsula, and prophetic, it may well be, of thS approaching fate of the invaders now alive. Amidst these apalling wrecks of humanity thus mingled with the wrecks of those inferior creatures who are made to partako of the miseries of nnn, without sharing in his better fortunes wero also intermixed the shatteied remains of baggage-waggons and of nun carriages, fragments of arms and implements of war, and rags of human clothing rent, perhaps, by sudden violence which of the same time broke bones and lacerated flesh.

After a toilsome ride, of more than an hoar's duration, through this Golgatha occupied with such reflections en the cruelty, tho folly and wickedness of war, as such scenes unavoidably excite in every Christian mind I reached the French camp, and, with Sevastopol beforo mo a mile distant, I beheld the ccrtral object of a siege likely to pro re the most remarkable in history, and not unlikely to prove also for the besiegers tho most overwhelmingly disastrous. Until I rave had further opportunity for observation, I shall attempt no description of the place; but I wilt nole at once mr surprise at finding that the wall commonly understood to surrouad the whole city, has really no existence. There is no defense of the kind within or without its line which ought to bo called, or can bo considered, a town wall; but there is a stone wull crencllod for musketry, which extends from Artillery Bay rou.id to the Platform Bastion on the Frcncn side, to tho English left. It is a detached wall, and offers no impediment to tbo artillery of an enemy directed against it. Tho French, however, do not regard it in the least, as it is, they say, only" a long weak curtain. The Russian batteries a;e before it and at its extremities, and this is the only wall about the place. By means of an excellent glass obligingly lent me by Lieut. Vinceat, of the English 52d Regiment a gentlemen to whom, as polite a. he is brave, I am under obligations for many acts of courtesy I could see what a formidable (look, however, the batteries hre, with their lofty and massive scrap walls of grey stone, and with their currcrojs cannon protruded out of their embrasuies and over the pat ape ts. Barricades, too, are distinguishable in the streets; and in many places the muzzles of cannon can be seen looking solemnly out of tho windows of dwelling houses, prepared to wclcomo tho French and English with a hospitality of a very solemn and terrific kind. Indeed, on the part of the town, presented to my view, cannon aio to bo seen everywhere.

War as Seen In the Hospital. Tho following paragraphs aro from Household Words. .Tbey were written by a gentlemen who visited a British hospital filled with soldiers from the Crimea. It gives a glimpse of the "shady side" of war: First is a foot-soldier, wounded by a shell in the knoc, who thinks he would like to write to his first cousin. This first cousin is his only relative, and does not know even of his having volunteered for foreign service: ho is not sure about his direction, but knows it is somewhere in the county Clare. In the next bed a woe-begone sad creature an3n ers 3 our question in a hollow, despairing oice: "I hrve no friends." he says, and "let mo alone. The brain of this poor fellow is affect ed, and we can bo of no service to him at present, so pass on. There is a boy of only seventeen, wounded nt the battle of the Alma. His face is quite beautiful, round and healthy looking. He seems quite happy and contented, and answers cheerfully enough; that ho would wish to write to father and mother, and tell them he had lost his leer: such a letter ho dictates as would shame a whole army of philos ophers;-when he gets used to "those" he says, pointing to the crutches by his bed's head, he will do well enough The case is ono of dysentery. A L'iant of an huzzar the skeleton of one at least all shaggy hair and eyes with rough, accompanied by moaning, would like to let his wife and children know about him; they have not heard since he went out five months ago; they will not see him again in this world, ho feels sure, and truly his stato is very sad; his attenuated legs find even the weight of bed clothes in -importable, ho can only fetch his breata to SDeak at intervals: has been deadly ill these six weeks, as far as he could take note of lagging time; would have sent home some money long ago, but that theyj had robbed him in Scutari hospital of all he had which they cut from around his naked neck where he wore it in a bag; thero was some more due to him 11 he had his rights, and they should have all; they must have wanted it, he knew, through this sad winter. Yes, he was in the horse-charge that so famous, borne up by the around him through the rain of was men bullets borne and . back again to the Russian cuns, and back again, lie means, without much thought of danger; there was no time. He does not wish that to bo set down'in ' the letter; said it to inform us only; We have written all ho wishes; and so, with a "Thank ye, thank ye, " he sinks back on his bed and groans. The fifth place has no tenant; its latest occupant was borne out yesterday to a still narrower resting-place. Tho sixth is a maimed man; his right arm was shot off at Inkermann: he was in all tho previous battles. This man talks freely of the war and without pain in utterance, which most men can do (and let it be kept in remembrance by all those making themelves useful to the sick, not to allow their compassion tobe sacrificed to curiosity.) Tho fearfullest thing af a battlo field is the tieading upon the bodies of the fallen. The thunder of tho guns and tho flashes, the trembling of tho ground under tho horses, seemed as though heaven and earth were coming together; but the stepping on a wounded man that was tho worst; before the fighting, it was not unpleasant, perhaps; and after, it was a dreadful time, but the fight itself was enough to flush a Lian, a great whilo of excitement and madness; often and often used to think of it as he lay in bed and on board ship.

IltiseclhiuouSs The Maine Law AnIssue at the Next Election. Ono of the most prominent issues in the ensuing Gubernatorial and Legislative election in Ohio will be as to the expediency of the passage of that celebrated statute known us the "Maine Law." To the people of southern Ohio, and this county in particular, it will be of engrossed and rb-'orbing interest. The Temperance State Convention held in Columbus last winter, under the auspices of General Cary, resolved that it would labor politically for an entire prohibitory liquor statute in this state. The ultra temperance fanatics arc by no mean, satisfied by the present law. Nothing will suit them but a coercion bill, which incorporates in the search, seizure and confiscation Erinciples, and which render contraand tho trade in, or manufacture of, within the State, of all kinds of alcoholic or fermented liquors. They carry on as vigorous a war against the native wine, beer, aio or cider drinks, as they doJJ the stronger potations. They are organizing thoroughly in every district, and unless their opponents awako in season to thej matter, and put forth streri'ous efforts, they will carry their points. If any other but a staunch Democratic Legislature is elected next October, the enactment of the Maine Law will be a matter of certainty. All of the States around us which last fall elected Fusion Know Nothing Legislatures have it nor in operation.. Indiaca, Illinois, Pennsylvania and New York may be instanced as examples. In New Hampshire, where urder democratic auspices, it was always rejected, it will pass next. June, as soon as the Fusion Legislature assembles. In Connecticut, the democratic party, having the majority, rejected it three or four times; but when the State came into the hands of our opponents, they forthwith enacted it. It has been vetoed by several State Executives, but in every instance they were Democrats. In tho Indiana Legislature, which passed it at its late session, 'every Fusionist voted for it, and every democrat against it, with but seven exceptions. It is through the political machinery of the opponents to democracy that the Maine Law men expect to secure it in

this State. They will take good care to control their nominations by getting men to run who are pledged to vote for its establishment. Tho October elections will, thercfoie, hinge greatly upon the opinion of the peoplo in regard to this question, it cannot be dodged or shirked by politicians in the least, although some of them, we have no doubt, will bo inclined to do. so. It is bound to bo a leading issue in tho ;anvass. After the proranciamento of the Temperance Convention to which we have alluded, the.e is no alternative but to take up the gauntlet. Wfc adhere to tho opinion we ex pressed two years ago, when the subject underwent much discussion and examination, that the passage of the Maine Law would bo a disastrous and expedient measure. Thero has been nothing in its experience and history in other States to induce us to change our convictions. Wc do not believit embodies correct pi inciples of Legislations or that its passage would be beneficial to the cause of temperance ance and good morals. We are unable especially to sco any reason way the friends of temperance should be so opposed to the manufacture of native wine. The pure juice of the grope does not possess much intoxicating qualities, and, in countries like France k Germany, where it is generally used as a beverage, drunkenness is almoot unknown. Could it be made in such quantities in this country as to bo cherp and plenty, we have no doubt it would banish from use many of our pernicious liquors, and have a wholesome effect upon the cause of sobriety. Its production ought to be encouraged rather than destroyed by any MaineLaw edict. It is becoming in demand all over tho United States, and to prove vent its cultivation would inflict a serious blow upon the industrial and commercial interests of Southern Ohio. This facthowevcr, will have no, influence upon the course of the next Legislature, if, perchance, thero should happen to that body a majority of men opponents of tno Democracy who are tainted with all the fanatical tsrns of which the times aro so fruit ful. Cin. Enquirer. A Political Joke. In a neighboring county, ono of the political partics for over twenty years, had been in the'habit of holding their county nominating conventions at the houso of Mr. G . He happened on a recent occasion, for the first time, to bo in when they had finished their business, and heard a little delegate from R. move that this convention adjourn "in die. "Sine die!" said Mr. G , to a person standing near, whero is that?" "Why, that is way up in tho northern part of the county," said his neighbor? "Hold on, if you please, Mr. Checrman," said G , with great earnestness and emphasis; "hold on, sir, I'd like to be heard on that question. I have kept publio house for more than twenty years. Iam a poor man. I have always belonged to tho party. And never split my ticket in my life. This is the most central location in the county, and its whero wo vc allers held our caucuses. I have never had or asked an office, and have worked night and day for the pariy, and now I think, sir, its contemptible to go ad journing this convention tray vp to sine diel" jTtTBlushing are flying colors which tho maidens carry becomingly.

From the Weekly Platte Argus, April 2H. More of the Parkville Outrages. At a meeting of the citizens of Parkville, held ia the office of Col. Wai. II. Summers, on Wednesday evening, April, 25th, J.

That we the citizens of Parkville utterly repudiate such sentiments, emphatically deny that the said paper was the true exponent of our principles upon tue suoject 01 öiavery; that on the couti ary we are now, and ever have been throughout this contest, Pro-Slrvery men in principle, feeling and action. 2. That we do most heartily rejoice in the result of the recent election in Kansas Territory, and hail it as a sig nal triumph of the South over the insiduous machinations of our enemies t home and abroad. Thrt-wc did all in'our power to effect that desired end, and that wc will continuo to labor for the extension of Slavery in that Terri tory, believing as wc do that the inter ests of Missouri and the entire South require that tho institution of Slavery should exist therein. 3. That we are Missourians in spirit'and feeling, and that we are ready at all times and under all circumstances to heartily co-operato with our fellow-citizens of Platte County aud throughout the State to secure and maintain our rights as Pro-Slavery men.

Thatwc, as citizens of a slave-holding State, depreciate tho settlement of those in our midst who aro opposed to our peculiar institutions. On motion, the foregoing resolutions were adopted as a whole. On motion, they were ordered to be sent to the Platte Argut and Weston Reporter for publication, with the request that the newspapers throughout the State and Kansas Territory, favorble to the institution of slavery, publish the same. On motion, the meeting adjonrned. J, B. EWEL, Chairman. F. M. McDonald, Scc'v. Taken in and Done For. A week or so ago a man put up at 1 ono of our hotels, and after luxurating upon the good things of "mine host," until the time came for his departure was politely asked to pay for his feed, but as politely informed the landlord that ho had "nary red, " but would 6cnd him his bill fron the next station, where, of course, he had plenty of friends. He was told that the way business was done at that establishment. He then offered to pr arn his old hat for the amount, but that was no go. Determined, however, to settlo hi business like an honest man, he stepped out And in a few moments returned with a neatly made up bundle, which showed that at least 0.10 article was a pair of pants. This satisfied the landlord the gent wrote his name on tho bundle saw it safely 6towcd away and luft promising to send and redeem it shortly. After the cars had been gone some time, bonifacc in looking At the bundle, thought the pants had rather a familiar look, and opening the package, the honesty of the gentleman was explained as "follows on leaving the landlord ho had gone up stairs, found a barrel filled with rags, from which he selected a good looking leg of ns fine a pair of pants as ever graced the person of a king, and with the aid of some rags, had made up a bundle, which, to the eye, looked like it contained n pair of fine pants. This he had left in "soak" with the landlord iu payment of his bill, and if not cut up for carpet rags, we have no doubt 11 is socuiinj yet, ks u uas never oeen called for. A. I. Tribune Win Cities Grow WestWardlt. Tho Academy of Sciences in Paris have been investigating the causes which almost invariably make the Westend of a city g.owmore, and become more fashionable than the cast. "It arises from the atmospheric piessurc,"sanswers the Academy of Science. The wind which causes the greatest ascension of the barometric column is that of the cast, and that which lowers it most is the west. When the latter blo-s, it has the convenience of carrying with it to the eastern part of the town all the delctorious gasscs which it meets in its passage over the western parts, . and the inhabitants of the eastern part of n town have to support not only their own smoke nnd miasma, but those of tho western part of the town; brought to them by the west winds, ncn, on the contrary, the cast wind blows, it purifies the air by causing to ascend the pernicious emanations which it cannot drive to the west. The deduction from this law Is that the western part of a city is the best placo of reside ice for persons of delicate health, and that all establishments from which emanate pernicious vapors and gasscs should bo. placed to the east. There 6cemsJ to be .good phylosophj in theso couclusions.

General Cass on the Maine Law. The distinguished Senator from

Michigan has taken ground in favor of applying the Maine Law to Indians, though he docs not think it is necessary for pale faces. In his speech in the senate last week he said: "Mr. President, after all, the greatest injury wc have ever done the Indians has been in giving them what they call 'fire-water' whisky. It makes them incarnate devils; I cannot call them by any other name. It has a most extraordinary operation upon them. I never saw an Indian who was ntt affected by it in precisely tke same manner. Some white men laugh when intoxicated, some cry, some sing, some do oae thing, some another; but very Indian goes on the same way. "It seems a national idiosyncracy. The devil in the heart of a drunkard seems let loose, and he is ready to do any deed of horror. When they are drunk they will kill each other, and there would be awful scenes of murder among them if it were not for the fact that at every such frantic orgie the first business of the squaws is to remove all the knives and implement of war. The men are impartial in the gratigcation of their'passions. Blood they uustbaie; and if they cannot get the blood of one man, they will have that of another.;The son kills the father, und the brother the brother. "The Senato may judge of the effect of this terrible habit, when I relate a fact which came under my own observation. At the treaty of Chicago, perhaps in 1 82 1, there" was an elderly Potawatamie chief who was at the head of his nation, really a respectable mn, namad Top-pi-be, high in the confidence of the Indians, and approaching almost his hundredth year, bat still in the poisessioa of his mental faculties, and pby sically well preserved. I was urging them not to drink whisky, tnd thus get them drunk, and cheat them out of their lands, but that was not what we intended to do. I said we want you to keep sober, and to make the best bargain you can for yourselves, your women and your children. "Top-ni-bce answered me, and he tpoke for bis whole tribe: "We do not care for the land, nor the money, nor the goods; what we want is whisky: give us whisky!' "You may take this as a type of the Indian feeling upon that subject. I say then, that the first duty of every honest commissi oner who is sent to the Indians with a view to make any just arrangements with them, is, as the Indians say, to drive the bung into the barrel, and not let them have one drop of whisky. If it is brought into their neighborhood, I know no power which can prevent their getting it. Tho cupidity of one party, and the raving appetite of the other, are sure to overcome all intervening obstacles." DQ"Great men keep their tempers pretty well, though assailtd on every siae wuu malignity ana natrca. -o better proof is wanted, to our mind, of the littleness of the."little giant" of Illinois, than his acrimonious conduct, when the preachers sent in their remonstrance to Congress against the Nebraska bill. This was so positive aa expression of detestation in which the bill was held, that, knowing there could be no defence for it, he strired to stop the mouths of the rood men. who had exerted their rights in opposition to it. But the people of the States have well understood: bis position. Benedict Arnold could not nave beea treated with more contempt and hatred, in passing through the coun try, than was this most abject tool of the South this traitor to freedom this traducer of the North. Wherev er ho weot, he was hooted down, and the populace could scarcely control their disgust sometimes had restrained from laying harsh hands upon him, so black did he seem to their eyes. We were ever opposed to violence, and in favor of the freedom of speech, and could have advised the'people to listen with silence to even that Douglas who had attempted to emasculate the free voice of the clergy. But we know the masses a;c excusable in some instances. They are warm in their sentiments and honest in their thoughts and their pent up hatred is apt to break forth when the demagogue attempts to defend his dishonest acts with tricky sophisms. When they speak the country knows it, and politicians' tremble; for they speak with an unmistakable energy. They have spoken in regard to Douglas. He is now damned hey ond the hope of revocation. And who pities Lim? Docs the South, for whom he ben this knee to the shrine of slavery? They know he cannot now be trusted. Docs the North whose rights he has sought to trample down? Let the voice of the people at the ballot box be the answer. Chanticleer, Ma kino tux best or it. A Yankee went out walking, in Virginia, at Wheeling, while to himself a talking, experienced a feeling strange, painful & alarmin, from his caput tohis knees; he suddenly discovered he was covered o'er with bees!
