DAVIS.—

A paragraph is going the rounds of tho press to the effect that Andrew Jackson Davis lias renounced his belief in spirit intercourse, and gone back on mediumship and Spiritualism in general. Having recently "interviewed" the gentleman, who is a resident of this place, we find the story of his "recantation" originated in the spiritual Monthly, soon after his last book, entit led, "The Fountain," was published. There is nothing in this volume that conflicts with Mr. Davis' previous works, but it contains two chapt'-rs in which he comes out strongly against the abmcso{ mediumship and the errors of doctrine adopted by many Spiritualists and tho false report started by the Spiritual Month! was probably based upon a mistaken view of tho just and timely criticisms published in "The Fountain."—Orange (IV. J.) Chronicle. ,,

SATURDAY NIGHT.—How

lias been given, how many a curse, how many a caress, how many a look of hate, how many a kind word, how many a promise has been broken, how many a soul lost, how many a loved one lowered into the narrow chamber, how many a babe has gone from earth tq heaven, how upny 4 little crib or cradle stands silent now," which last Saturday night held the rarest treasures the heart.

A week is a life. A week is a history. A week marks events of sorrow and gladness^ which people never heard. Go home to your family, man in business. Go home to the chair that awaits you, wronged waif on life's breakers. Go home to those you love, man of toil, and giye one night to the joys and cou^fQi'ts ilying by.

I^eave your book with complex figures, your dingy office, your busy shop Rest with those you love, for heaven only knows what the next Saturday night will bring you! Forget the \yo.rld of eare and the battles of life'which' have furrowed the week Draw close arouud the family hearth Saturday night has awaited your coming in sadness, in tears and in silence. Go home to those you love, and as you bask in the loved presence, and meet to return the loved embrace of your heart's pets, strive to be a better man, and bless heaven for giving his weary children so dear a stepping stone in the i'iver to the eternal, as Saturday night. -n —r~rr

RAILROAD COT.LISIOX.—Night

The grade descends quite rapidly towards the river and the car moved with constantly increasing velocity, going through the bridge at a frightlul late and "tearing" down the road faster and faster, utterly precluding the possibility of warning the approaching train of the obstruction, when a short distance on the other side of the bridge, the express train came around the curve, and the engineer noticed the danger and immediately reversed steam and cut down the s-peed of his train to about fifteen miles an hour, the car coming on meanwhile until its wild flight was checked by n, tremendous crash, and its fragments, together with its contents, went sailing through the midnight air like evil omened birds. The car and contents were scattered all over the ground ff»r some distance, but strange to say the locomotive was but little damagr ed, as the ear was too light to throw it from the track. Nobody was seriously injured, we are pleased to learn.

The switchman, we understand, was not to blame, the accideut being one of those wherefor no one was to blame.

dispatch says: The defeat of Judge Bingham's bill rel.atiug to life insurance companies, was occasioned by the opinion held by many members that it proposed an unwarrantable interference by the General Government with the rights of the States to regulate the privileges of corporations. The bill provided that no penalty shall be imposed on any life insurance company which is authorized by the laws of the United States, nor shall any tax or other condition of doing business be imposed upon any such company whicli is not by the same authority imposed upon all insurance companies. Th,e last clause would prevent a State from making any discrimination in favor of insurance companies organized in such State. In many Western States there is talk of adopting legislation to compel Eastern insurance companies to invest the profits arising from their business in the State from whence they derive it. It is stated that $S,090,000 are annually drawn from Ohio and §7,000,000 from Indiana as the profit of Eastern insurance companies^ and from all the Western States there is a large and constant drain of money to the East to pay insurance.

A case was argued before the Supreme Court today involving the question whether the Emperor Napoleon III. had the right to sue in a court of the United States, in a matter involving damages done to a French natiowal vessel in the Bay of San Francisco, occasioned by a collision.

SUMMAilY.,

WASHINGTON, February 17.

Mr. 'Wilson''"presented"a"memorial from the Minnesota Legislature, for an appropriation for improving the harbor of Duluth.

Mr. Joiles, of K'entucky, presented a petition in favor-of-the proposed Cincinnati railway, and for the division of Kentucky into two judicial districts.

The House then'went""into a Committee of the Whole on the army appropriation bill, Mr. Garfield in tiie chair, the general debate being limited to half an hour. The bill appropriates 827,475,000.

Mr. Niblack addressed the House in an argument against the interference of the military in State elections, a use of the army which in his judgment was wholly unknown to the Constitution.

Mr. Brooks, of New .York, said he was going to do what had never been done before—oppose the whole army bill. He would do it now because the army was perverted by the President-of- the United States. The army which had hitherto acquired its honors and glories at Yorktown, Saratoga, at Chepttltepec, or in the Wilderness, or on the' mountains of Tennessee, Was now used mainly for electioneering purposes eit in tho South or the North. So long as the army was used,, or could be used for uny such purpose, never, so help.ffwitGod, never under any circumstances, would he vote a dollar for its support. The high respect which all members were bound to express, if not feel for the President of the United States, forbade him to express that depth of indignation which he felt against him, who, on election day uaYed to use cannon and bayonets and threaten to.slaughter his (Brook's)' constituents at the mere caprice of marshals or supervisors, the most wretched outcasts, the very settlings and scum of the gutter of the city of New York, No language, could express the indignation felt at him, or them, who had put the army of the United States on election day at the disposal of thieves and robbers.

Mr. Sargent used against Democrats the correspondence between Gov. Ilaiglit of California and President Johnson, for the use of the military to carry the last Presidential election in California for Seymour and Biair, and said that it vould hardly be believed that the same Governor Haigl.it had recently published letter announcing himself as a candidate for re-election, and that one of his plans was opposition to military interference in elections.

Mr. Eldridge asked Mr. Sargent whether he was in favor o.f itMr. Sargent said he was in favor of it under such circumstances as Avert* in the Sixth Ward in New York. But even if he were not, the Democratic party had shown in the illustrious instance he had referred to, that it was.

The discussion at this point was continued in a noisy and excited manner by Messrs. Brooks, Sargfent, llandall, Niback, Morgan and Hcliumaker, in the jourse of whicli Schumaiker said that more frauds had beeu perpetrated and more votes bought and sold St- Lawence county. New .York, than in all the wards of New York city, and it was usual for Republican Governors, from Seward to Fenton, to paruoil.convicts about election time,

Mr. Beck inquired of Mr. Dickey, who had charge of ttie bill, whether tho act of last year regulating the pay of army officers had not increased their pay also as to what had become of the fifteen millions received froni the sale of arms and munitions during the last nine months, and also how much had been paid to men serit-all Over the country to control elections.

Mr. Dickey replied that as to the first inquiry, money received from the sale of arms could not "be Used hi appropriations, but would be curried into the Treasury after the 30th of June next, and that as to the bill regulating the pay of army officers, lie understood that the pay of all subaltern officers up to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel had beeu increased, and all above that rank decreased.

Mr. Logau contradicted the assertion that the- pay of- army officers had been increased undes the.a^t of last year and stated that -the^aggregate reduction^ of army expehses was over $2,000,000, and that ail statements to the contrary were misrepresentations, got .up in. order to drive Cottgress track to the old system of pay, so that the-Government might be plundered under* commutation, without any chanee of the piunderer being deterred.

Mr. Lawrence admitted that under the law last year the aggregate expenses had been reduced 82,000,000, but said it was owing to reduction in the number of officers, and rank and file of the army.

Mr. Jones, of Kentucky, offered an amendment requiring that titles to all national cemeteries shall be indisputably in the ¥uited States... He said he had reference particularly, to Arlington, and was prepared to-show thftt the title to that property was notin the Government but in Mrs. Mary Custis Lee. He defended Senator McCreery, of Kentucky, from tiie charge of having, in a resolution offered by him iu the Senate on that subjec.t, intended any disrespect to the defenders of the Government.

From the Natch ex (Miss.) Courier, Jan. 23.

Drawing Lots for Life or Death. Death has taken from our midst, in the person of Abram D. Hedenberg, a soldier who had not only survived the "Lost Cause," but who, after the battle of Mier, on the 25th and 26th of December, 1842—in the days of Sam Houston when every tenth man captured was shot—in drawing lots for life drew a white bean. The decimation took place by drawing black and white bean3 from a mug. The white signified exemption and the black ones death. One hundred and fifteen white beans were placed in the bottom of a mug aud seventeen black ones placed upon the top of them. The bones of his less fortunate companions now lie bleaching upon the plains of Salado, a remembrance of patriots executed falsely, as robbers and marauders upon Mexico.

MR. SAMUEL E. SAWYER, of Gloucester, Mass., who long ago proved himself a liberal giver, has just presented 810,000 to the Lyceum Library of that town.

WEAK SERVES.

Warner's Dyspepsia Tonic is prepared expressly for Dyspeptics and those suffering from weak nerves with habitual constipation. There are very few who have not employed physicians for years to remedy what this preparation will do in a few weeks, by strengthening the nerves, enriching the circulation, restoring digestion, giving strength mentally and physically, enabling those who may have been confined for years to their rooi»s as invalids to a»ain resume their occupations in all their duties of life. One trial is all we ask to enable tiiis remedv to recommend itself to the most skeptical. It is a slightly stimulating tonic and a splendid appetizer, it strengthens the stomach and restores tlie generative organs and digestion to a normal and healthy state. Weak, nervous and dyspeptic persons should use Warner Dyspeptic Tonic. For sale by druggists. Price 81.00.
