IIavtiiorxe once said, after speaking of the great Mississippi Valley, " Alter all, we Yankees are but the fringe on the garment of the West." Blanche Maurtatt, -whom we take to be the daughter of the marine novelist, is about to publish a novel entitled, 44 Briars and Thorns." Artemts Ward had a large seal , ring which, he used quaintly to say, he wore only during the forenoon, as it fatigued him to carry it all day.

Bassox-hikhue, French Ambassador to Spain, was telling Henri Quotre how he entered Madrid. "I was mounted on the smallest mule in the world." " Ah," said Henri, 44 what an amuing sight the biggest ass on the smallest niul !' "I was your majesty's representative," was the reply. Thh number of papers now published recalls to mind the o.d anecdote in regard to Franklin's mother in law, who objected to her daughter marrying a printer because there were two newspapers in this country, and she did not see how Benjamin was to make a living. There are now 4,000. General Johnston says the victory of Bull Run saved the Confederacy, which was all it could reasonably have been expected to do. Most of the rebel troaps regarded it as deciding the whole qut stion and ending the war, and thousands of them left the army and wen! home. The Union army, he says, was 44 less disorganized by defeat than the Confederate army by its triumph." j A Brooklyn paper closes a notice of the criticism which 3Iiss Kellogg received at her last appearance in Boston, as follows : When Poe comeäto her own loyal Brooklyn, bless her little heart, she shall do just as she pleases She shall throw cakes at the orchestra, and laugh in all the serious tableax, if she wants to, and sing 44 Beware" in the "Barber," and "Wearing of the Green" in 44 Faust if inclined."

There is now living in the southeast portion of Camim, Loraine county, Ohio, a Miss Polly Ha skins, who is one hundred and fifteen years of age, having been born in July. 1752. She was seventeen years old at" the commencement of the Revolutionary war. When the British fieet landed at New Bedford, Conn., she and her parents were obliged to quit their home -she traveling on foot, and carrying a feather bed twenty miles the flf$t day. They could see the smoke of their dwelling as the work of devastation, by the British, went on. She is now of sane mind, and hearty. ot Ion since, an American artist wrote to Mr. Ruikin for advice upon the Bubject of art. The eminent English critic, who doubtless has had ten readeri ia the Northern States for one in any other part of the world, replied in a manner that severely trie3 oar confidence in his jugment and sincerity. The barbarous manner in which the people of the North, he wrote, had conducted the war upon the southern people and their patriarchial institution', had utterlv destroyed his interest in American art. True art, in fact, could not flourish among a people so depraved ; and he, therefore, advised his friend to abandon all effort to read the true path in art, and to confine himself to painting such pictures as were suited to the degraded taste of the Northern Americans. In its issue of the 24th ulL, TU Kation published the following notice respecting Fanny Fern's first literary success: 44 Fifteen or sixteen years ago, Artemus m-ry at .

We may be mistaken, but we think 4 Fanny Fern' was first successful in the columns of the same journal." This statement is corrected by Fanny Fern, in the following characteristic letter : To the Editor of th Nation : SiRf Fanny Fern's first article was written fo." a one horse religious magazine in Boston, called the Mother's Assistant, or some such name. The remuneration for that article was ßßy cents, and the writer went up four pair of stairs five times to the office of the editor to get it, beside being put through this catechism : Widow, eh ? See you have on black ? Children ? How many ? Girls or boys ? Yours respectfully, Fanny Fern.

The New Hampshire Patriot presents a citizen's reform ticket for Concord, with Charles II. Proctor, a colored barber, fbr Wayor. The Chicago Cattle Yards have 150 acres floored with plank. There are pens for 73,000 cattle, 20,000 sheep, and 20,000 hogs. The cost is $2,000,000. A cake was given to a Baptist festival in Burlington, to be given by vote, at ten cents each, to the handsomest lady in the crowd. A 44 colored lady " got it. At a dinner party given last week by a wealthy New Yorker, the waiters were dressed in scarlet coats, knee breeches, silk stockings and powdered wigs, the old English fashion. The students of the Wisconsin State University have passed a resolution highly complimentary to Prof. Reed, who has left the institution to take the Presidency of the Missouri University. A Cincinnati firm has obtained the exclusive right of taking views in the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky for five years. The pictures are tobe taken by the use of powerful reflectors' and the magnesium light. We have often heard of an old lady who said "she had often noticed that if she lived through the month of March she lived through the rest of the vear." We coincide with the old lady if March, 1807, is selected as a specimen. The Martinsburg (Va.) Xeio Era says that one day last week, 3Ir. Thornton llenshaw, residing a short distance from that town, killed fifteen foxes, and it wasn't a goodday for foxes, either. He discovered a hole, and dug them out.

The trial of a new railroad constructor, on the Central Pacific, in California, has proved a complete success. The machine levels the track, lays the ties deposits the rails, and nails them in their places. It is estimated that with a complement of twenty men it will do as much work iu a day as two hundred men without the aid of the constructor. The latest culinary novelty is alphabetic soup. Instead of the usual cylindric and star shaped morsels ol maccaroni which have heretofore given body to our broth,

the letters ot the alphabet have been sub stituted. As these letters of paste preserve their form3 in passing through the pot, their appearance in the plate is capital, to say nothing of their whimsicality. A legal gentleman of New York gives us this fact : Not long ago a certain Judge of one of the Police courts in that city was absolutely supported on his seat while he passed sentence upon a man who was then sober, but who had committed some misdemeanor while in a state of intoxication. The Judge was not in feeble health so that he required support. He was not faint. He was simply drurJc! Comments are unnecessary. The New York Evening Gazette says that in many families this season dancing has been discarded. In its place more elegant and intellectual diversions have been given, and with great success. Fine readings and recitations, ending in some cases with delicious .suppers, the whole entertainment being over by midnight, have bten the novelty. Such entertainments threaten to leave dancing a little in the background for a season or two. The grasshopper invasion of Kansas and western Missouri, List fall, will be remembered. The SU Joseph (Mo.) Herald now saythe tinners in that vicinity are living in dreaa of a return, or rather a recurrence of the invasion. They are dispirited, dare not trade, incur any expense, or act fipon the idea that they arc this fall to reap the reward of their spring labors. Thi3 liar actually has a very depres.-icg influence upon business. The proprietors of the Boston Tratder are coining coppers on the principle of ucaui A ill, uuu ivac. A 1 ti&J own the Saturday Evening Gazette, and while advertising the Traveler as 44 the only prohibitory law paper in Boston," and seeking special patronage of the friends of temperance, they are running tue Uazetts as an earnest anti-prohibition and prohctnsu journal, and tickling the liquor sellers with its denunciations and sarcasms of the prohibitionists. Eighteen young ladies who, five years ago, organized it Millford, Connecticut, what they called a 44 Chapter of Revelation," whose meetings should occur every five years, at which each member should relate the most prominent events in her life, held their first re union on Tuesday, did the promised revealing," and drank one another's health in a bottle of wine which had been sealed in the society's or ganlzation.

Is it any wonder that accident insurance com pames get ncn ? In the New York Evening Pott of the 26th nit. appears an advertisement by Teal estate auctioneer of a partition sale of property on Broadway, belonging to the estate of the late Wm. Ross. Among the places advertised is a strip of ground on the northeast corner of Fulton street and

Broadway, with a front of four feet eleven inches on Broadway, running back one hundred and sixty foot two inches on Fulton. Thd advertisement states that this narrow strip is leased to the lessee of the adjoining property for ten thousand dollars per annum and taxes, the lease terminable by the owner on any first day of May, on one year's notice.' Two or three years ago, Ezra Cornell desired to give half a million dollars to the establishment of a University at Ithaca, New York, where he resides, and some action of the Legislature was necessary to provide lor the acceptance of his gift. Quite a number of members were anxious, for reasons of a local and denominational character, to get an appropriation for Cencsee College and it turned out that they held the balance of power on the question. So they added to the bill a proviso that Mr. Cornell should give $25,0C0 to Genesee College as the condition on which he was allowed to give the half million to liisown University ! and under this compulsion t lie bill pasted, and Mr. Cornell paid the money. Now a bill has been passed to rtfund to him that amount from the State Treasury.

The new Academy of Music in New York was the scene ot a gas explosion, recently, about an hour previous to the nightly performance, wuich came near causing another serious fire. A lady at Allentown, Pa., laat week, had a pin "removed from her arm where it had been imbedded for the last six j'ears, though constantly moving from one place to another, and keeping her in continual pain. A street car difficulty occurred at Charleston, South Carolina, recently. Two negroes got into a car, and, refusing to get out, were ejected by the police. They resisted, but were overcome, and lxlgcdin the station house. Several San Frarciseo Jews were taken in and done for, lately, by a pretended alchemist, who plied his trade by melting gold coin, and the 4 salting" of mining claims. He had pocketed $0,335 before his swindle was discovered. He was then arrested. The 6ecret detective corps of Col. Wood's United States police made a large haul, on Wednesday last, at Rochester. r. Y. In all, thirty-four rascals engaged in manufacturing, bu-ing, and selling counterfeit money throughout Western New York were captured and lodged in jail. An Obcrlin piper says : 44 It is ungenerous to criticise our fashionable young ladies for walking on tip-toe as they do now-a days. They can't help it : the waterfalls on the top of their h'ds draw up the back-hair so tightly that they can't put their heels down squarely without gr at pain." "We are informed that a young lady residing in Richland county, Wis., is the possessor of a thick and promising beard. It made its appearance about four months ago, and has already attained the length of two inches. The young kdj will undoubtedly excite the envy ot' ail the beardless youths in the country. A gentleman in Portland lost an envelope on the street containing $300, on the 1st of April. Several people passing, supposing it to be an April 1-ooljoke, kicked and poked it, but no one lifted it up until a boy came along, took it up and developed its contents, which were re turned to the owner. Six cases of trichina have occurred in Springfield, Mass., all Li the family of Ransey nail, ironi lue eating ci ham, and a daughter of Mr. 11. died on Mondav, 3oth, from the terrible disease.

Haworth, of Liberty, had fifteen teeth extract ed by a nitrous oxide dentist of Cincinnati, and has been confined to his bed ever since, from tho deleterious effects of the gas." The extraction of Ihe remainder of his skeleton would probably rid him of the "deleterious effects." On Monday last, Mr. McCarrol, one of the hands on the Eleroy section of the Illinois Central railroad, was instantly killed. It appears that a freight train, while switching at that station, was cut, and Mr. McCarrol, supposing the whole train had passed, stepped on the track to commence work, when that part of the train which had been cut on ran against hin, knocking him down and passing over him, coinpletey severing his head and shoulders from the ower part of his body. Hartford ha3 another case of whole sale poisoning. The four children, between six and twelve years of ace, of Nathan Lazarus were taken seriously ill, on Friday night, and a medical examination showed that corrosive sublimate had been taken by them in food. rone have yet died, but the sufferings of all are terrible, and two are not expected to live.

Portiois of the wall of the Lindell Hotel. St. Louis, recently fell, doing no inlurv. 1 Hereupon a committee, iieaaea dv Ma . m Colonel Joel, endeavored to get a rope over one of the walls, for the purpose of pulling it down. 1 he attempt was made to nre a bullet over with a string attached, but this failed. Rockets were then sent up,

and the fiery messengers refused to go in The Duke d'Ossuna, Spanish Ambasthe direction required. Kites were sent salor to Russia, h on of the wealthiest

A fearful instance of cruelty to a girl was brought to light a few davs ago at the Hackensack Court House, N. J., where Henry and Margaret vanderbiit were charged with inhumanly treating a girl thev liad taken from the New Jersev As--lum for Orphans. They had frequently whipped her till the blood came, and then washed her down with brine, and during the eleven months she was in their house, they had never allowed her to speak to any one outside of it. - An extraordinary act of foolhardiness was committed recently at Bordeaux. A young man, dressed as a sailor, ascended to the lower eallerv of the tower of PevBerland, and, finding that he could get no hiffher. trot outside, and clambered bv the nroiections ud to the statue of the Virzin. on the ton. finally seating himself on the head of the figure, where he remained for a considerable time, dansrlinz his le?s and smoking.

At the hospital, boing asked his motive for the net, he said he was driven to it bv violont pains in the stomach. He lived until the following day. Fore I ku aOKi. There are a million people in London, who never go to church. - The Machinery Court of the Paris Exposition is 110 feet wide and 4,000 feet

long. -An infant with a 1,000 note pinned to its dress was recently left in a London rail way station. The horse meat butchers of Paris sell from seventy to eierhtv horses a week, and hope, tiurmg the Exhibition, to double that number. The French Government has ordered that during the Exposition no play shall be pr-r formed which will be unpleasant to foreigners. Eleven thousand yards of toweling, 2,500 white counterpanes, and 30,000 yards of white linen were required to fit up the Great Eastern. The fact that next vear is leap year adds 24,000 to the English financial estimates, that being the amount of one day's pay for the lorccs. An inquest was held in London, the ither day, on the body of a G . rman nobleman, who liad become so impoverished that of late he and his wife had worked a mangle. A foreign Prince has iuat sent a small box to Paris containing some costly jewels, iimong them a pearl valued at 80,000 trancs.

Cats are said to be t this moment in great demand at Lucerne, in Switzerland, and to be selling at a high price, in cense quence of a malady which has greatly thinned their numbers. The luad of the animal swells rapidly, it refuses all nourish ment. And soon drops down dead. Bright, in one of his late speeches, 6aid that one half of Scotland is owned bv twelve persons, and one half of England bv one hundred and fifty. Thus the peo ple are nobody,and a few individuals every body. Xo wonder the aristocracy fight so desperately against any popular movement. A marvelous increase in the circulation of English newspaper and periodical literature u noticeable. Thirty years ago, 45,000,000 say forty-five millions of newsDaDers were issued in one vear in England ; last year, 580,000,000 say nearly six iiumlred millions were issued ! Thirty years ago, 7,0J0,000 of periodicals were published; last year, 5U,uw, wo were sold. The latest advices from Abyssinia are to the effect that all the English iptives are closely confined in chains in the fort ress of Magdala, but otherwise kindly treated. Col. Merewcather had gone to Massowah with the artificers and various presents sent to tho King by the British Government.

Although the New Paris Opera House will not be finished for two years, still sev eral of the separate buildings depending on the main edifice are finished. The musical library is completed, and a great propor tion or the archives are already arranged in the UDoer 6torv of the building. The keeper of the keys of the Opera House will have no sinecure, as he will have the charge of two thousand five hundred sepaiatc keys. So much success has attended the Flying Dragon, the only Chinese paper published in Europe, that the proprietor has imported a fount of Chinese tpe. the Dragon circulates in such ports of China, the Phillipincs, and Japan, as England is auowed intercourse with, and is reaa noi Dy traders aione, but by kings and princes, ior the information it brings about European arts and machinery. The Chinese have btgun to print from movable type, The famous gentleman who won an cienhant in a raffle would not have been so very unfortunate, if his prize had been of the dimensions of one lately imported from i Main bv a naturalist in England, hub creature is only three feet high, and very docile, in proof of which it is alleged that I 4 a I t 9 1 I on uis way irom mc snip, me aay 01 ma arrival in England, he walked mioapuonc house like a veritable Briton, inserted his I proooscis in a pitcher or beer thai stooa on the counter, and drank off ihe contents without spilling a drop. men in Europe.

His Ma jest y of Abyssinia ha3 arrested another party of Englishmen in vengeance f r the unrequited love which formerly he lc.stowcd upon their Queen. It will be remembered that soon after the death of the Prince Consort, his Majesty made overtures to Victoria both diplomatic and domestic. These the Queen utterly slighted, nor paid any heed to them until word came that his oftended Majesty had arrested all the English missionaries within his domain, to be held as hostages for the good behavior of their sovereign. Then an embassy went out, and returned with answer that nothing would avail but war or matrimony. The good Queen wrote to her cousin aiid jcnt him presents with the request'to release her imprisoned subjects; which he wouldn't do, but arrested some more of thini. The latest arrest is of a party of friends of the prisoners, who went to sec what personal appeal could do. Abyssinia h favorably located on the Red Sea route to India, and England may find it convenient presently to annex that kingdom and

bring its love-crazed kiug to London for exhibition. Art and Science. - The Highland Railway, Scotland, is subject to very heavy drifts of snow. Plows are used, which, driven by five or six en gines, clean the track of ten feet of snow at the rate of 25 miles an hour in new snow, and 10 or 15 in tough snow. A railway carriage, moving with a friction of six pounds per ton, would, if set in motion at the top of a straight plane falling one hundred feet, and connecting at the bottom with a straight level line, run more than seven miles by its gravity alone. A watch has been invented which never needs winding up, and looks very much like perpetual motion. It is inclosed in a gold hunting-case, and the closing of the case performs the function of winding up in an almost imperceptible manner. It was stated to run a month without interruption, and all that is necessary to keep it going is to see to the time at least once a month. A vein of salt water was struck at Liwrcncc, Kansas, a few days ago, while boring for water for a woolen factory. The water yields one-halt pound ot salt to the gallon of water. At that yield the business of manufacturing salt is considered profitable in that section. Arrangements are already made to commence the manufacture, and it is expected that by fall one hundred barrels per day will be produced. The small coin, now quite plenty, has greatly diminished, and will, ere long, entirely supersede, the smaU paper currency. It circulate finely, few persons being so distrustful of the future as to hoard copper or nickel. The experiment that has succeeded so well thus far might safely be applied to dimes, and then we could get along swimmingly in the matter ol change, till the good days when our eves shall greet the almost forgotten face of gold and silver. The following method lor obtaining copies of manuscript papers will be of great service to those who wish to pre serve copies of what they write : put a little sugar in common writing ink, and with this write on common paper, sized as usual. When a copy is required, take some unsized paper and moisten it lightly with a sponge, and apply the wet paper to the wriliug, and pas lightly over the unsized paper a moderately heated iron, and the copy is immediately reproduced. One pound of carbon m burning gives 1 1,400 units of heat. 1 4,400 ? 721 1,1 1 0,800 foot lbs.

April Work. Like as iu March, work in this month depends much upon the season. W inter may linger long and spring come suddenly, and thus work will crowd ; the importance of being prepared before-hand is most obvious. In plotting, deepen the soil a little; turn sod over flat ; move the soil only when dry enough to crumble; prepare the ground thoroughly for crops both by manure and tillage. Wokkino Stock. It should be the farmers pride to have his teams of oxen and horses come out ready for spring work in good condition. Horses in shedding their coats are subject to a severe draft upon the vital powers, and need extra feed and carding, and the same is in a less degree true of oxen. Yokes and bows should fit, or be made to, and the harness be made to suit each horse. Give animals regular hours of work, long "noons," and feed regularly and uniformly.

Fattening Animals. There should be a good supply of mtal on hand before traveling becomes vcrv bad, and the teams are needed constantly for farm work. Both beeves and sheen will consume grain very profitably at this season ; they should not be allowed to fall off in floeh in the least before being turned to grass. Cows neau calving should be subject to only the gentlest treatment, regular feeding and carding. Litter freely, give roomy stalls, a good sunning daily, and some roots if possible. Encourage milk secretion in new milch heifers by milking thrice a day, and feeding succulent food and mashes, as a substitute, if quantities of milk is especially desirable. Garget iä a common trouble in spring. Cows take cold and their bag3 cake," and become swollen and very sore, and often the milk of one or more teats are lost. "Watch the first symptoms, wash the bag with a sponge and hot water; if very painful, bathe in spi;its of arnica, half water, and grease with lard. SrtEEr. Give ewes at yearning time warm sheds and sunny yards, and be ever on the lookout lor chilled or feeble lambs; wrap such in warm sheep skins, give a few spoonfuls of warm milk punch, and lay them near the kitchen lire. If far gone, give a warm bath, with brisk but gentle rubbing until dry, warming by the nre or with hot bricks; those apparently nearly dead will usually revive and do well. IIoos.

It is early enough for most farmers to start hot beds and to make their gardens in April, though preparations should have been made in the autumn. Sow in the hot bed early in the month, seeds of lettuce, radish, cabbage, and cauli flower, and later those of tomato, pepper and egg plant. In open ground sow epinaeh, lettuce, racisncs, onions, carrots ana peas ; plant gefod, early sorts of potatoes and onion sets. Wonders of rVaturtil History. Last July Mr. Jefferson 01nir;tcad, of Savaunah, nntscd a hog weighing some two hundred pounds, and nothing was seen or heard ot huu until last week, when .Mr. Olmstead, having occasion to take down a straw stack on his place, hisstvineship was discovered underneath, there was no doubt lrotn the sign3 and the facts given. that the hog had been in the Ftraw since last July. He was probably asleep in the straw when the stack was being made, which was the time the hog was missed, and was covered up so completely and closely that he could not escape. His weight was, when found, about sixty pounds. The hog seemed to be as well as ever, save the falling oil' in weight. Clyde (0.) Tunes. CATCHING A JUNK, Earlv on Saturday morninc Mr. Encs Grasser, a flagman on the Hudson River about a mile above this city, captured mink, in a novel manner. The ani mal attempted to run across the track, but the instant that he struck the cold, frosty rail he stuck fast, and was CADtured by the flagman before he could move from his sealed position. The mink proved to be of the largest size and the fur of extra quality, experienced hunters say this is the most extraordinary manner of trapping animals that ha3 ever come to their knowledge, and they consider it worth a passing notice, if not special patent Hudson Jr.) Jiegister. HOW RUS8LOJ SABLES AKE CAUGHT. Provided with a pitcher of water, the hunter stations himself in a tree over the hole leading to the habitation of the ani mal, and when the latter comes out, and stands looking about, the hunter pours some water on the creature s tail, which at most instantly becomes frozen to the ground. The hunter then descends, and with his knife slashes the sable's face. The frightened animal struggles to get away, and finally escapes tlirougn tue opening made in its countenance by the hunter's knife, leaving its skin in the possession of the hunter, while it returns to its hole to await tne jrrowtu ot a new ssm.
