THE LOST BING. A Lawyer’*-Story “Mr. Docket?’ "Yoe. Madam.” '. Xt «*• an elderly woman upon whose brow wire had fun-owed many a wrinkle. She war dressed in homely garments, and the atrog<lebetween penury and neatness which they ertnoed would hive been an interesting utudv for aphiioaophef. Her eyes ware red. tog though she had been wdepmg .and when ■ha seated herself by my desk. the pent-up earrent erf grief burst out afresh. •What ie the matter, my good woman? yon seem to be in deep distress,' I remarked, in the most encouraging tone I could comA’J. am.

I will not pumzL £» reader with the long fine-spun story etc told me, but a few lines will suffice to inform him .of the material facts. She was a widow, her name was Marche. She had an only bob, Philip, who was employed in the insurance office, and received three dollars a week for his services. He —was a good boy and loved his mother, as a son should. Upon their united earnings they bred .very comfortably in an obscure street, where they hired two rooms. Sirs. Marche's catalogue of her son’s virtues was certainly very edifying. He never spent a cent upon himself, never wentoutstnights, and attended church forenoon and after-

noon. An evil day had come. On the Saturday, throe weeks proceeding, Mr. Carman, the President of the insurance company, as he declared, had sent Philip with a valuable diamond ring to the jeweler's to have the Stone reset. On inquiry the ring was found j not to have reached its destination. The jeweler had never seen it. To make the case more complicated, the boy denied having received the nng. Mr. Carman had never sent him on any such errand. * The boy hadjbeen arrested on a charge of stealing the ring, and was now confined in jail Mr. Carman was ready to swear he delivered the valuable article into the hands of the boy with explicit directions ns to where he should carry it and what should be done with it. > It looked like a bad case. The poor woman was in the saddest distress. - She was sure that her darling boy Would not steal. I pitied heraud.promised to do what I could for her son. When she had gone I called upon Mr. Carman. I found that he was one of those dogmatic old fellows who axe never wrong —who find it impossible to err, even by design, or to make a mistake. I tried to argue thepoint w ith him, bttthajtmild nnt say much. He "told methe story—was sure he sent the boy and nobody else. I ventured to suggest that he might have been mistaken; that he had sent the ring by some other person. k " “Do you take me for a simpleton sir? Do you think I don’t know what I am about ?” he exclaimed, bestowing upon me a look of withering contempt. "I sent the ring with the boy, sir. The boy has stolen it Nothing more need be said, sir.” And he turned to thamewspaper he had been reading. I was not much pleased with the interview. I was highly vexed at the haughty bearing of the fellow, and I confess thatmy pique rendered me tenfold more zealous in my endeavors to clear my youthful client I visited Philip in the jail. He was very sad on his mother’s account; on his own he ' seemed not to care. A more frank, openhearted boy I never saw. He toldhis story; and though I questioned him pretty severely he was consistent to the hist

I made the case my own, and worked unceasingly, as it seemed to ma then, for the overthrow of the haughty President of the insurance company, as much as for the salvation of the widow and her interesting son. I visited more than a dozen jewelry ■hops that afternoon and the next morning, with what result the reader shall learn m the details of the trial which came on the Best day. Philip was duly arraigned, end his poor mother sat by his side weeping and sobbing hkeachild as the case proceeded. Mr. Carman, with majestic dignity, stepped upon the stand. He told the story nave before detailed, and was turned over to me lor cross-examination. I could qgp; that he was nettled, for he Certainly cduld see he mercy in my face. “Mr. Carman, are you willing so swear that you gave the ring to the boy ?” “Certainly I am,” he replied, vexed and angry, tat he' had answered the same question a dozen times ip the course of the <•1 beg your honor to notice particularly the words of this witness,” I remarked to the court His honor testified readily that he had noticed them, as’W matter of course; he had them ip his minutes; and he rather snubbed me for pressing so respectable a witness in so severe a manner. ‘ •Now.

“That is fill sir. May it please your honor, I shall bring but one witness for the dolense. Will Mr. Graham take the staid?” My. Graham took the stand.

He intended to have sent Philip to the jeweler's with it, and actually called him for that purpose, but Ma attmiffon was attracted to something else, and'he thought no more about it. On hia way home to dinner w’utlc his mind was al»sorl>ed by an important business operation, he had left the ring at Mr. Graham's.

A Sad Romance.

’.From the X*»hrf!!e Bano'-r, For. 7.] Margaret GaUsy yesterday obtained a divorce from her husband, Michael Gala“y, for harsh and inhuman treatment. The testimony was of a very interesting and even romantic character, showing the most affectionate) devotion on the pfot of the ' wife, and a cold indifference, aggravated by brutal treatment, on the part of the busI baud. It appears that they were married in Ireland ten y*ear« ago. They lived hap- ' pily together lor the punod of six montlis. j when Galasy, wjthout informing Lts trust--1 ing wife of liis intentions, secretly left the Emerald Isle far Ausirali.u Having ob- ' tained a clue as to Lis whereabouts, the wronged woman took passage and followed ; him. Soon after her arrival in Australia, she gave birth to a child, and after having ■pent the last fiwtaing other scanty means. sb« was compelled to hire herself out as a ; aer VAni. Sh« remained tn AnstTwhffweWT■d year*, and at last learned that her husband had come tu America. She again crossed the ocean in the br pe of a reunion. On her arrival at New York she took the first train for this city, w hero ‘ she arrived two yean ago. and found the I truant. They lived together until a short | time ago, the wife exhibiting for hurhns- ; band the most tender regard, and be treat--1 tag her with neglect apd abuM-. About the 25th or 26th of Dcccmbcp 1866, the defendant made an mfiuman assault upon bis wife, caught hold of her hair, and,- after Wrapping it around hisfingers, pulled out a large quantity of it the mark of which vrueity is plainly visible. At another time he thtew her violently to the ground, and would dotrt:ttess hifve~ Ml? ted seriou.s.bsdily harm upon her had l Ke not been prevented from so doing by taa intervention of friends,' "ho tori- her from his merciless hands. Notwithstanding thia cruel treatment, she still expressed her willingness to forgive all, and endeav- i ored to live with him in peace, but the defendant, a few weeks ago, began afresh his cruelties toward bis wife by calling her all manner of foul and indecent names, bosidtw spreading false reports with regard to her character. He also threaten-; ea to turn her out of doors, told her he was tired of her presence, and intended to live with her no longer. After twisting her arm across the side of the door, and thus trying to break the limb, he caught hold; and choked her in the most brutal manner, ! leaving the scars and prints of his fingers ' upon her neck and face. Her screams at last brought assistance, The scoundrel fi-4 sally turned her out of her home and com- ( polled her to seek shelter under the roof of a friend. WelTmay we congratulate this unfortunate woman in having secured a legal release from the brutalities of this unfeeling -wretch, who has made her married life sb miserable.

A King’s Passion for Large Soldiers

Galkjnanj’s Gazette has the following anecdote: You will probably have laughed with the rest of us at a Prussian peculiarity pointed out by Macaulay in the. .Great Frederick. < Se the most economical King in ; hristendom. If you doubt it, go ana seo I his threadbare uniform, run to seed, 1 I darned and worn jusa a la eorde, and his sword scabbord, which ho had mended himself with sealing-wax. These relics, in th? museum at Berlin, mark the littleness of the great King. B»t he had a weakness for big grenadiers, and would outbid all buyers in tho mau-innrket fcr any giant to whose stature nature had added a cubit or so, until at last he got together a regiment of the biggest, gawkiest, uugainliest fel- [ Jows pnssibla, and hie great'tleligtttntfreFt playing the flute and sending his bad J verses to be furbished up at Ferney, was to drill this awkward squad. That the supply of giants upon earth might be kept up, he was always on the look-out forbrood merci. Whenever, in Ids rides about tho country, he fell in with a huge female, he sent her with a note to the Colonel, with orders to marry her, nolens Vblens, to the biggest grenadier. A stalwart peasant girl, who had been picked out by his majesty, mistrusted the mission, and dispatched an old hag, wrinkled td : tatters, in her place. The orders were peremptory, and left the Colonel no so that the giant soldier was buckled to the.old harridan. Hur cm tnol{fs, M. Barhas written a lively little opera, fizzing with sparkling melodies, which flame and dance within their bounds like the effervescence of tho Mint Julep which Cornua invented long before our American cousins ever thought of concocting that brewed enchantment. A stalwart youth is about to be married to his betrothed, when his huge proportions attract the eye of the grenadier-seeker, and the poor youth is carried off and made a SMatmaljre’.ui, the title of this lively little opera. *

A Practical Joke.

Horace Vernet, the distinguished French i painter, happened once to be traveling from Versailles to Paris in the same tail vay carriage with two English spinster xuuies, very prudish and prim, and of a certain, age. V-met’s appearance was striking, and the ladies, after scanning him attentively whenever they thought he was looking the other way, began to communicate to each other their observations upon him in a rather ■ loud’whisper, thinking, apparently, that as they spoke in their own language they were at liberty to make- what comments they pleased. The veteran painter waipnteneely amused, but waß too much a man of tho world to manifest the slightest consciousness of what was going on. It was not long before the train had to pass through a tunnel. Vernet, seizing the opportunity, leaned forward, so as to be within hearing °f his neighbors, and applied a smacking sfilutOTo the baok of his hand. On Emerging from tho temporary obscurity, his face had assumed a mischievous expression, which, as he intended, was soon interpreted by each lady to the prejudice of the other, each charging the other with having received from, the moustached stronger the mysterious kiss in the dark. Arrived at the terminus, as all were alighting, Vernet offered his hand to help his tellow travelers out of the camage, and then, with a graceful bow, took leave of them, saying, as he retired, totheir dismay, in perfectly correct English,•<*'Adieu, ladies; i suppose I shall never have the satisfaction of knowing to which of you I am indebted for the unexpected but valued fiivor I received in the tunnel. ” _____ 1

From Milwankee to New York.

From The Evening Wiser.nsin, Milwaukee, Nov. 20. Fi‘ m Milwaukee toNew York. It used to be a gr< at trip. If wo had to make it, wo -luoktuldbuar j to the day of sotting out with no little dread, and memory is still ■ fresh of the aching limbs jammed up hour after hour in the narrow coniines of a car and of innumerable changes of care and of an intense i satisfaction whcu.NeW York was reached and i the journey was at an end. How things have ! changed. How the inarch of civilization has ' been onward, and how travel has been re- ■ duced from a labor to a pleasure. Man’s i mind is ever busy and big with improvements. andin rail wav comfort it is displayed-to great advantage. We are off fpr New York. Business or pleasure call ns tlfere, and en route we find ourselves at Chicago and at the Pittsburg ,t Ft. Wayne depot ready to leave. At 5:1.0 of un att rnoon the loeoinot ive whist les, and tho “all aboard” of the conductor is heard in stentorian tones. Besponsivo to the call ■ we step into a Palace car and are whizzing i and steamingon ourway. W tho i difference in traveling, for the car is nothing I lose than a superb parlor on wheels. It is i supplied with all tho comforts of a home, and ;we reel ourselves there. Paln.ee cars are a ■ sovereign balm in railway traveling, and the I I’. & Ft. W. seem to liavercachmYtpchighesl. I l»eiat of comfort affd'pleaHure in those cars. Ou we go, darting past Valparaiso, and i Plymouth and other towns until 11:10 at i night finds ns at Fort Wavne. Wo pass 'Crestline and Wooster and Massillon, and all the while he comfortably in our downy bed and dream of home and the little ones who are behind us.

At next morning wo arc at Alliance, take a warm morning meal, and at 11:10 find oureelves in Pittsburg, the city of coal dust, black smoke and industry, Wo dine st the magnificent Railway hotel, and then ga baek to bur palace car, which has become as i familiar as our own drawing room to us now, I and s.ving off upon the IVnnsylvmn rsil—f toad, and tiiink of the glorious meal that ! awaits us at Altoona. At 1:1.5 Altoona is ' reached. What an appetite traveling gives : one. and.we should be. disappointed did wo ' not find a warm meal here. We are not disappointed. From the lookout on the top of the Logan House our approach has been signaled, and busy hands are at work spreading the tables with steaming hot food. The train darts up to tho very side of the Logan. Ou alighting von see the unwonted convenience of near forty basins whereat to wash, and eloan towels’ to correspond. Water is brought in pipes from a notch iu tho mountains, called the “kettle,” several miles distant, and it soon removes all traces of travel, and you scat yourself at tables covered with all the luxuries of the market, and cooked to your taste. The “Logan House” has a front of 300 feet or more, with wings running baek. The.dining room is 150 feel tong, and furnished with short tables, 'at each Of which twelve people may be comfortably seated. The floor is always as clean as if it had just been handscrubbed. The table-cloths arc spotless. As the house dines, on an average, 1,000 persons daily, from thirty or more trains, you may infer that there is a deal of “social'science’' involved in the management. Yet there is no confusion, but perfect order and quietness, explained largely by the fact that the house has no bar. A supply of liquors is generally considered indispensable to make a hotel popular. Biit the Logon House is [ popular notwithstanding. Tho train slops sufficiently long for us to eat our meal deliberately, and when it is finished we step into our palace car which has been awaiting ns, with a satisfied air, as if we were on the best of terms with all mankind,

and when darkness settles about us we seek our couch, that by refreshing sleep wo may be ready for the nejt day's business in tho great city of New York. We should be glad if we could go through to the city of Brotherly Love, bnt tire palaeo car turns off at Harrisburg towards the greater attractions of New York, and passes over the short-cut, called tbs Allentown Route. To those in a hurry, this is a great gain of time and trouble-. At 5 oiclock the next morning we awake refreshed and bright. The train—our own palaeo car in Kfiich we left Chicago, at least —has reached the Empire City, and the welcome voice of the hackmau as he shouts “Astor House,” “Fifth Avenne,” “Metropolitan,” etc., is heard. Our journey’s end is reaehedi and we have had a delightful trip from Milwaukee to the great .seaboard citv, and we shall not forget wsat w* have learned by experience, nor selfishiv hlle our light from those who have to travel. '

Extbaordisaby Contingencies warrant extraordinary measures. When Queen Isabella discovered that fragile reputation was so’ seriously damaged as to require repairing, the difficult task was accomplished in this manner: All the professors of the Spanish ilfiivorsities were compelled, upon pain of instant difrmissar.'to signa document, prepared byThe queen’s advisers, setting forth the horror and indignation of the signers upon hearing the illustrious qneen-’s conduct and motives impugned. A few were independent enough to decline the honor of signing this extraordinary' paper,' paid the penalty, and stoutly maintained their opinion that the half not told of the queen’s misbehavior. These sticklers for truth are about to be restored to the chair they were compelled to vacate. , ", ■ '.r. -

KfDtncKy nw morn ppoa wjmtuig nonjew than any other state, for there horseback traveling has Jong been ta fashion for men and women, over a country where muddy roads st times rendered any other gait imposmlile, and so horses have been bred for the saddle, end trained to a walking gait. This is also the case iu all the Western States, and perhaps njight have been sota New England, wL. nourgrandmothers rode to meeting On a pillion behind our grandfathers. But ouc-horae wagons bavo put . horaeback-ridiug out of fashion, and now a ■ good walking horse is taore rare than one 1 that cau trot a mite in 2;40. At the Springfield, Mass., horae tfhow of 1860, the writer was one of the committee to award prizes to the best walking Iwr.-u s.

Two others w.T«|fAir walkers, and tho rest knew no gait tbtit could be called walking. At tho New York State Fair the same state loi things was agniti developed. A letter from Wisconsin says: ‘I think horses trained to walk fast would be a greater benefit to our farmers in general than fast trotters, as almost all of their work has to bo done with a walls.' I once knew a man in Massachusetts Who, before the railroads ' were built, kept from two to four teams at 1 work on the roiid. aud never allowed them to trot at all. and made she distance in ' quicker time than his neighbors, who made i their borses trot at every convenient place.' He said that when a horse comiuemfed to walk after a trot he walked much slower than his common u»it, if kept on a walk. ,_amL thereby lost more than hv gitined. Will farmers think of this, and pay more ' attention to walking horses ?”

t Bexovatisg Wobx out Soils.—“WLatris the cheapest method of bringing up exhausted Inndr" In ony climate where ! clover will flourish; this plant is uudoubt- | ealy the cheapest manure. If you can get a fiiir crop qf clover to start with, your . success is assured. -This can be done Tn many cases by sowing two bushels of plaster to the arce. If this doos not succeed, .Lone, dust, Peruvian guauo, or fish scrap;' iu moderate quantities certainly will. The clover may be turned in when a little past bloom, or be partially fed by cattle that remain ou tho field, and plowed in later.— Twp or'three crops will prepare the way for grain. Dividing Swabms.—Many people thrt have bees are not satisfied with their doing i well, but wish them to do better; and to have them do better they divide their' strong swarms up, thus making them feeble and weak, uo that they fall an easy prey to worms and robbers. Their owners ‘ learn a lesson, when too late, that they will, i not very soon forget. A heighbor of mine • hod six strong Kwarms, and thought that . lie must increase his stock, or iny bees would rob his, as 1 had some thirty swarms; and to increase his, they must be divided. So ho called to his assistance a I professor of smoke and peppermint, and j they went at it, making of those six swarms some twelve or fourteen. The upshot of the whole affair was that my bees did rob ' bis—every one but two, and those he sold to me for $2.50 per swarm To savetheii-liyig-2 and ho has never had a bee sjnoe.— F. IF. J?., in the Country Gentlenvin- - Build Sheds.—Shelter is food and shelter is health. He who would feed well : and give comfort to his stock must build I sheds to his stables. But a few days and.! winter will chill and destroy, and it is | high time for the economical and the | humane to bestir themselves for their own benefit and for that of their domestic animals. Even the rudest structures are of some account. Four posts, a few poles and a deep covering of slough grass, form a protection better than nothing, if the structure is built upon the highest and dryest ground. A board shed, made close upon one side and two ends, is far better. A good hedge, a grove of trees or a clump of evergreens, are of great value. Cattte, sheep and swine must have shelter if they are not to die of exposure aud disease, or come out ‘'spring poor.” Build sheds now aud furnish them with feeding racks and Rimer. ——— —"* Digging Tbees.—All hardy trees—except evergreens- that are to be transplanted iu the spring may be taken up now; and all broken roots aud the ends of those cut off by the spade should be pared smooth, and then healed in a dry place, covering the roots a foot or two deep. Trees taken up this full, and carefully trimmed and healed in, will be far more certain to grow next year than if the digging is delayed until spring, for the simple reason that the wounds made on the roots will commence to heal during the winter, and be ready to thrnurrmt new feetllug louts early fff tke season. Besides this, spring brings its own work, and wo are likely to delay transplanting until too late for safety. It requires time for the wounds on the roots of tree;; to heal over, and it is better to give plenty when it costs nothing additional)

English Patent Harness Blacking. — Mr. Dodson furnishes the receipt for this well-known water-proof blacking. It will keep the leather soft, and, if properly applied. gives a good polish. It is excellent for buggy-tops, harness, <tc. Old harness, if hard, may be washed in warm water,and when nearly dry’, grease it with neatstoot oil. The ingredients are three ounces of turpentine, two ounces white wax, to be dissolved over a slow fire; then add one ounce of ivory-bluck and one drachm of indigo, to be well pulverized and mixed together. When the wax and turpentine are dissolved, add the ivory-black and the indigo, and stir till cold. Apply very thin; brush afterwards, and it will give a beautiful polish. Keeping Potatoes.—lt is, perhaps, needless for us to caution our readers against •leaving their potatoes exposed to the light either out of doors or in the,collar. They’ ! will, if so exposed, soon turn green, become soggy, and almost unfit for use. They should, if possible, be kept in a dark, cool place, away from all danger, of frost in winter. We think potatoes used to keep better in times gone by, in the old dark cellars, than now, in the modern cellars, with their numerous windows. Some are in the habit of keeping their potatoes in pits in the ground, dug deep enough to be safe from the frosts. This may keep them well, but it is a troublesome plan. We have known them to be kept in the very best condition in barrels, mid covered with sand.

Clear Apple Jelly.—Pare and cut up ■five dozen large, juicy,, acid apples; put 'them In a pan with us much water as will cover them, boil gently until soft, let them cool, than strain them through a jelly bag; put thtrjuice in your preserving pan, and to each pint of juice put one pound of fine sugar, and the peel of two lemons; then boil it until it is reduced to the stiffness of calve’s foot jelly; skim it well; add the juice of a lemon. Queen of Puddings.—One pint of bread crumbs, one quart sweet milk, four eggs, a lump of butter the size of a hickory nut. .When the pudding is nearly done, spread a layer of any kind of stewed fruit over the top of it, and on the top of that, spread the whites of three eggs, beaten to a froth, with three tablespooufuls of white sugar. Set it in the oven again, to stiffen the froth. Eat with cream and sugar.

, Goon Hams.—After hams have been smoked, take them down and thoroughly rub the flesh part with molasses, then immediately apply ground or powdered pepper, by sprinkling on as much as will stick to the molasses, when they must be hung up again to dry. Hams treated in this manner will keep perfectly sweet for two .or throe years. This must be done before the fly deposits Its egg, for after that is done, nothiiig will stop their ravages. * , 1 ■ ' . ‘ *■ '■ •

The American Association for tho promotion of Social Bci-. epee was organized in Boston Oft. 1865, with the late Gov. John A. Andrews an President. But the whole country was too large a hold for ita operations, and heuco the organization of a Society for the Western Slaton. The mooting was attended by many eminent persons The object of the Aeaociatjon is to" <Uh?um the facte pf social Ufa, and ascOttafn the laws which should govern society. It is a scientific, and nor a political or reformatory Association. Papers wore i<ad, and' brief discussions had on such topics ns compulsory education, instruction ot deaf mutes, female reformations,licentiousness, divorces, divorce of inebriated, municipal or intermediate prisons,woman's place and work in society, lodging houses for womou, Sopulaliou— its law of increase, what shall lie ene with the insane ot the west, Ac., Ao.— It will bo scon that a groat variety of subjects of vital interest to the race 'were discussed. The moetinga lasted three days and were well attended. The Association a* Boston has led to improved treatment of inmates of many public charitable institutions, and it is hoped that the Western Association will be productive of great good. A peculiar feature of the meetings,was,thattwpxuen participated in the proceedings, a Mrs. Dall, of Boston,tiding one of the delegates from the parent so- ! eioty. |. TUESonoHIS,

.a weekly paper of 16 pages, in quarto form, ' ptilflished oy Mrs. M. L. Walker <t Co., has i I reached its seventh number. It is printed | very neatly on clear white paper, and its oxI cellent topography is a fair index tit thechari actor of its contents. Its editress, Mrs. 51. . L. Walker, deeply impressed with tho needs of women, is deVoted to tho work of helping them by' then! howto help themselves. SRc xvotild not only multiply the opportunities <if self-help, blit she would have women qualify themselves thoroughly for tho avocations they wish to pursue, so that they can iffiike the most of tie ir opportunity s. She has less to say of Wo eei n’s i ignis than of her duties, anil woultl I seek to make her happier by making herbet- | tier. Tho paper is conducted in un admirable 'spirit, is tuo. organ of no cliqu® or association, and while it is courteous and unobtrusive, it is decided in its tone, and gives no uncertain sound on tfiwstlons-TnyoiyiwgTiUTr- - qyT>f"Tieamrii<nife. ft is edited with more than ordinary ability, is persuasive and not dogmatic in argument, and desires to iri'n rattier than/on-T its nay to public llbtlcfi and favor. With the experience which this new field will give her, Mrs. Walker will make un accomplished editress. Tho paper began with a circulation of three thousand. It appeals to tho best feelings of our nature and s#eks the noblest pads, and ought to have ten th .usand subscribers among the women of the west. AMUSEMENTS. i The sensation of tho week in the wav of . amusements, is to bo Edwin Booth's ropre- ! dentations of Shakspearo’s groat characters, : at McVicker’s theatre. Olc Bull, too, is to de- , light old friends and now with such a “concord of sweet sounds” as none but ho can produce by a scientific friction of horsehair and catgut. - - : _i— Balatka, ono of tire pieueors and leaders of music culture in the West, begins a scries of symphony concerts at Library Hall, next Friday evening. If they meet ’ the public expectations they will prove very attractive. ' And speaking of music reminds me that I i have not yet alluded in these letters to a I matter of no small importance to the lovers I of j VOCAL MUSIC, i for say what wo will.no instrument has yet been devised by man which equals.in sweetness. . ami in power over The soul,"the Tiumau voice. Which is simpte saying that the skill of man does not equal that of the Divine Architect. But tiro voice - needs scientific culture, and the great masters of music have attained i fljeir superiority only by long study and ’ piWiec. There jjave been great improve- | .men IbJti the church singing, both as well as in the methods of teaching vocal music within my remembrance. Till quite recently, however, the West has been dependent on the East for its supply of musicaj works. But this is no lunger the case. It was reserved for Chicago to make the prophecy of Bishop Berkley apply to music, as weii as" trade and politics. “Westward the star of Empire takes its way.” For the most complete singing book over published for singing schools, church choirs, musical conventions, teachers and pupils, is The tbiumfh, edited by Geo. F. Root,, author of “The Curicuhim”—the best instruction book terr tho piano, aud published by Root & Cady. Its unparalleled success proves its superior excellence. Nothing like it has been known since thojmbUcation of jjnolu Tomis Cabin, lu threeTnot’us It liftsreached 42,000 copies, 10,000 of which have been sold in New England, and B,OCO in Boston alone, the mi s eal, as well us literary, “hub” of tho Union. The book contains 490 pages, is a complete compendium of musical instruction from tho simplest elements to the highest forms ot musical expression, and, for -simplicity, and perspicuity of arrangement, thoroughness, and a perfect adaptation to the object of a singing book, viz: to load tho pupil by a natural and progressive method through a thorough course of musical instructional has no rival. It is well named “The Thiumph,” and its success is a marvel, even in this wonder-citv of the West- The ppbTikEersJTvTroHo Haines are “familiar as household words" to the people of the West, have laid tho .mupic-loviug public of the whole country under fresh obligations by this new contribution. All kinds of music, aud of musical instruments, from a piano to a jews harp, can be fo.und at their store, G 9 Washington street. A HUGE BALL. One of the curiosities in Chicago is a huge cannon ball weighing 1,275 tbs, belonging to the big gun at Fortress Monroe, the largest over used in thia country, if notiu-the world. It is easy to imagine "that the sides of any vessel, either of wood or iron, would present a weak barrier to such a ball H]s?d with the explosive force of nearly half a bairel of powder. As those visiting Chicago may wish to see this souvenir of the late war, I w’ill tell them where to find it. It lies on the sidewalk next to the Chicago postoflice, in front of the office of

THE “I.ITTLE COKPOBAI.,” which— an its name iuilieatcn—in the Napoleon of of juvenile papers, having in three years reached a larger circulation than itriv juvenile magazine in the world. It is purely original, and its able corps of writers have given it so high a literary and moral character, and made it so attractive that it is everywhere eagerly sought for. Though enlarged and greatly improved, it is still kept at/the old preo of one dollar a year. T|jo publisher Alfred L. Sewell, will send'the November and December numbers free to all who will subscribe for 1861) during those months, and sample copies for ten cents and free to all who will try to raise a club. Large premiums are given for clubs. For beanty, excellence and cheapness, it is the King of Juvenile Magazines, and should be in every American household. The West may well be proud of it and of its unparalleled Success. I have seen the proof sheets of somobeautifiil sheet music, to be issued next wtfttk by Messrs. Molter & Wurlitzer, entitled “Ultssus Waltzes,” dedicated to Gen. Grant, which will soon be found on every piano in the country. The title page is lithograph, with a fine portrait of Gen. Grant,audit is sent free oLpostago on the receipt of sevontvfivc cents. PBEACBIFG. A number of leading clergymen hire preached against popular amusements yesterday, condemning them for their evil tendency. Trade has not resumed its usual activity in the wholesale department, thougn the retail trade, is quite brisk. B.

Decomposing Hods. —Every farmer, gardener, and fruit-grower should gather soda whenever opportunity will permit,and pile them up in some corner or out-of-the-way place to decompose. " Sods are the cream bf the soil, and wonderfully supplied with fertilizing properties, making one of the very best invigorators for trees, vines, and plants. They may be easily obtained' from fence corners of tilled fields, or gntheredrfrom the surface after ploying and harrowing sward land. Pile them up grass downward, and cover the heap with a coat of ashes to keep grass from growing. A year or two will be requited for them tb thoroughly decay. Water should he applied at intervals, sufficient to keep the pile moist Tn a dry time, to prevent a dry, moldy rot —Ohio Fanner.

Tidal Wave in New Zealand.

A letter from NffW ZeiOanil, dated August 28, contains the (o.llpwing: ‘ “In Wellington a most extraordinary thing has oecureed, in the shape of a tidal wave. .Tho tide kept rising and fullingtwo or'three times an hour, Irvin low water to extreme high water. It caused immense excitement in the town, for people could not tell what wgsgoiug to happen. Every one ‘expected a great earthquake; and when wo did have a good sgiark shock that mado everything rattle again, and saut people flying out of the houses like rabbits out of their burrows, the electric telegraph from Lyttleton kept informing us of what was Imppening there, which made it very ftrterestiug. It saomsto have been more felt there than at Welling;on. At Oumaru the tide rose and fell tiftoeu fifteen feet in fifteen minutes, and at Lyttlcton it receded suddenly to six feot below extreme lowwater level, and then came in with such a rush that, it tore all the shipping away from tho wharfs and caused tremendous confu sion and considerable damage.”

How io Improve'the baniliii v CondiUon. —A*xrent"ciUßß of QIBRABd is 'improper foodjuidhur.-, riod entir. s'. In ord or ful iy tr> understand how to eat and how to conduct, ouradves after eating, it is nooes sary that we should be acquainted, in somo measure, with tho process of nutrition. Many persons tutabie their food precipitately into their months and swallow it without mastication and salvation before it enters the duodenum and becomes mixed with tho biie and procreative juices. This bile is there secreted by tho liver. The chyme Having undergone the changes adverted to is urged, by the peristaltic motion of tho intestines. onward through the alimentary canal. If tho peristaltic motion be owing to tho deficiency of bile, the progress of digestion w retarded and tho bowels become constipated and dyspepsia otten fol lows. In such cases a thorough and active cathartic should be used to produce specific action, arousing the -secretions aud producing free bilious evacuations. The beat article fox- this pur pose is Dr. Roback*s Blood Pills, the use ot which should be followed Uy Hoback's Stomach Bitters, to give tone to the stomach and aid digestion, bold by all druggists every* here. leSlckutHu Avoidable. Thousands toss qn hick-beds to day, who might have been well and heaHy, had they taken due precautions for the preservation of that most precious of earthly I?leasings, a sound mmd in a sound body. Sickness, to a greater extent than most people suppose, is avoidable. When the body is languid, the Spirits depressed, and the nervous system unnaturally sensitive, it should be taken for granted that mischief is brewing. Theso hints and warnings, vouchsafed as such by a kind Pro vider.ee, ought not to be disregarded. If they are slight* ed, as is too generally. Um. ca»e. the next thing may bo a fever, a severe bilious attack, or sonic other form of acute disease.
