man so utterly wicked, so utterly base,so utterly found out in his basenessand wickedness, and so utterly loathedfor them of all men --it is a problem wecannot solve, we say, how he is able tofront it all so calmly.

The True Story of CinderMla.The story of Cinderella ia familiar, toevery one, and yet there are few thattreasure it up as in any respect lrtt.But it has a foundation and a realitythat really need no fairy godmother,with her pumpkin aad her rats tomake an entertaining tale. It it affollows:

In about the year 1730, a FreneTiactor by the name of Thevenard,- - Hved

Paris. He was rich and talented,but he had no wife, and we may believehe had never loved any one, bat faveall his affections to those ideal characters that he coald represent no" finelyon the stase. One day as he was walk-ing leisurely through, the street ofPar;.9. he came upen a cobbler1 etall,and his eye was attracted by a daintylittle shoe which lay there Waiting forrepairs. His imagination began imme-diately to form the little" shoe. Heexamined it well, but only to admire itmore and more.

On going to his house he seemedhannted by the little shoe. He fancied

tripped over his floor ; he cotfld heirthe music of its tread in fact therewas nothing of all his elegant treasuresthat seemed to him half so beautiful.

He went to the stall of the cobleragain, but could leara nothing in re,gard to the owner of the shoe. Thisonly increased his eagerness and: madehim more determined to find out tnwhom it belonged. Day by day howas disappointed, but he was not dis-

couraged. At last the little feet need-

ed the shoes, and Thevenard met theowner, a poor girl whose parents belon-ged to the humblest class. . But thoardent actor thought not of caste orfamily. His heart had already pro-

nounced the little one his Wife. Hemarried the girl with no question ofwhat people would say, and felt joyenough in hearing the tread of thelight, nimble feet through tho silentrooms, to pay him for the sacrifice ofpeoples approval. This is the truestory of Ciuderella, and from Which

the child romance sprang.

Last week a young lady in Lexingtonreceived the following choice billetdoux.: "I saw you atshurt6hlastsundynite, and I want tu form' with you anAoquanetans. I am a man of goodkaricter, and git a celery of $500 perannum. Please address box 19 poos- -

ofis." The youn lady returned- - thisroply : "To the Young Man with theBad Spell The wish to form an ac-

quaintance is not reciprocal. Bnt ifyou will coll at my house about 6o'clock in the evening my brother willmake your acquaintance with somefirst class calf skin. Perhaps youwould prefer making th acquaintanceof our dog. He would take to younaturally. He always had a taste forcaives."

The other day Mr. Cox, in the courseof debate: chanced to refer to Mr.Paws as "the gentleman from Massa-

chusetts. " Butler was busy, bat hocaught the invocation, and, strugglingto his feet, desired to koow what genstleman from Massachusetts." wasineanS. "Never mipd," said Mr. Cox.with a dictatorial wave of his hand, ',trcfered to the honorable gentlemanfrom Massachusetts Mr. Daws." Thepause before the name heightened thesarcasm, which drew out loud laughter.

Seed Distribution by the Agri-cultural Department

The distribution of seeds is no smallpart of the business of tho Agricul- -

fural department at vvagningion.Last year, forinstance, a half bushelof two kinds of French white and redwheat were sent into every Congres-sional district in tho Union. Daringthe year nearly four hundred tbomandpackages of miscellaneous seeds weredistributed over the length and breadth,of the land, and thirty one thouaandseven hundred plants frcm the experi-mental garden.

DON'T.HANG HIM.An "Eloquent" Plea Against

apital Punishment by aWestern Orator- -

The following oration was delivered insome where out West by one of theprofession, who would seem to havequite an aversion to hanging people:

May it please your lordship andgentlemen of the jury the case is asclear as ice, and sharp to tho "doin' "as "no" from your sweatheart. TheScripture saith. "Thou shalt notnow, if you hang my client, you trans-gress the command as slick as greaseand as plump as a goose egg in a loaf-ers face. Gentlemen, murder is murderwhether committed by twelve jurymenor by an humble individual like myclient,

Gentlemen. I Jo not deny the fact itof my client's having killed a man,but is that any reason why you shoulddo so? No such thing, gentlemen.You may bring the prisoner in "guilty"the hangman may do his duty, butwill that exonerata you? No suchthing. In that case you will all bemurderers! Who among you is pre-pared for the brand of Cain to be stam-ped on his brow ? Who, freemen,who in this land of Ilborfy and light?Gentlotnen, I pledge my word thatnot one of you has a bowieknife or apistol in his pocket- - No, gentlemen,your pockets are odiferous with theperfumes of cigar cases anh tobacco.You can smoke the tobaco of rectitudein thepipe of a peaceful conscience, buthang my unfortunate client, and thescaly aliigator of remorse will gallopthrough the internal principles of ani-mal vertebraj until the spinal anatom-ical construction is turned into a railroad for the rrirn and gory goblins ofdespair

Gentlemen, beware of committingmurder! Beware, I say, of meddlingwith the internal prerogative ! BewareI say, liemcuber the fate of the manwho attempted to sready the ark, andtremble. Gentlemen, I abjure you bythe manumitted ghost of temporal,sanctity, to do no murder I abjure by be

the name of woman, the mainspringof the tickling tiuiepciceofTiine's theo-retical transmigration, to do no murder. I abjure you by the love you havefor the esculent and condiuieyUa! gusto isof our natitcpnmpkin, "ter do no mur-der

to! I abjure you by the American

eagle, that whipped the universal ingame-coc- k of creation aud now sitsroostius on the magnetic telegraph oftime's illustrious transmigration, to dono murder! And lastly, gentlemen, if youever expect to wear long tailed coats

if you ever expect free dogs not tobark at you if you ever expect towear boots made of the free hides ofthe llocky Mountain buffalo and tosum up all, if you over expect to be is

anything but a set of sneaking, loafinpivscully, cut-thro- braided small endsof humanity, whittled down to indis-tinctibiilit- y,

aquit my client and saveyour country !'" The prisioner wasacquitted.

A Prophecy a Hundred YearsOld.

Abbe Galina, writing to his friendMadame d'Fpinay, in 1771, sketchedthe world as it would be in a hun-dred years. We quote his wordsfrom Notes, and Querios

"In one hundrad years we shall resemble the Chinese much more than wcdo at present. There will be two verydistinct religions the one that of thehiirhcr and lettered classes ; the otherthat of the people, who will he dividedbetween three or lour sects, lt.ing ontolerably good terms with each other.Priests a id monks will be more numerousthau thy are now moderatelyrich, ignored and tranquil. The Popewill be nothing more than an illustriousbLihop, and not a sovereign. Theywill have pared away all his temporaldomains bit by bit. There will belargo regular armies on foot, and butlittle fighting. The troops will per-

form admirably on parade, but neitherofficers nor men be fierce or brave ;

they will wear rich uniforms, that is

all. The chief sovereign of Europewill be the monarch of our Tartarsthat is to sav, tho prince who willpossess Poland. Russia, Prussia, andcommand the Baltic and Black seas,for the nations of the north will alwaysletnain less cowardly than those of thesmith. The remaiuiog princes will beunder the political master of thispredominant, cabinet. England willseparate herself from Europe as Japanhas done from China. She will unitehen el f with America, of which shewill possess the greater part, and con-

trol the commerce of the remainder.There will be despotism everywherebut despotism without cruelty, with-

out effusion of blood a despotism ofchicanery, founded always on thointerpretation of old laws, on tho cun-

ning and sleight of the courts andlawyers a despotism of which tliegreat aim will be to get at the wealih ofindividuals. Happy in those days thamillionaires, who will be oar manda-

rins. They will be everything, for themilitary will serve only for parade.Manufacturers will flourish everywhereas they do now in India."

A Chicago paper says : "K'-i-e writes j

from Bridgeport Corn., to a Bostonweekly journal, s..,! . I vriedwhere I did not love, and uo.v I lovewhere I cannot marry. O, what shallI do !' " And tbat stupid Chicago paperdoesn't have teuse to answerthe connundrum. as it obviously wasintended to be answered thus: "Cometo ( iiivio and get a diver re.

' Road Steamers.Ever since the introduction of rails

ways, the problem of the adoption ofthe steam engine to travel upon ordi-nary roads has attracted more or lessattention, but until recently every attempt to solve it has proved a failure.At last however we have' a road locomotive that both works well and wearswell. "Thomson's road steamer," as itis called, is already much used in Eu-rope, and a manufactory for buildingit has been established in New Jersey.The English manufacturers are unableto fill their orders, and have had togive a firm in Scotland the right tosupply that country.

The most important feature in themachine is the construction of thedriving wheels, which have a broadrim, covered by a thick iudia rubbertire, which is it eel f surrounded by anendless chain of steel plates. Thischain, the rubber tire, and ,he rim ofthe wheels are not fastened together:so that in running, esnociallv with aheavy load, the tire $Hds gradua'lvaround the wheel, and is thus savedfrom being toru by any sudden strainupon it.

The steering apparatus is simple,and the steamer can turn a very sharp,corner, the inner driving wheel describing a circle of less than three feettadius. The pear'mg and workingparts are strongly constructed and pro-tected from dirt; ant! "leather. Aningenious device in connection withthe exhaust steam suppresses almostentirely the noise caused by its escape.There is a single gear for quick Arced,and a double gear for heavy leads.Either of the driving wheels can bethrown ia or out of gear, so that inturning corners, the inuer wheel is outof gear while the outer wheel drivesthe steamer tiround. Two frizes aremade, of 8 and of 12 horse power,draw loads of 20 and of 30 tons, re-

spectively, on an ordinary level road,and 17 tons up inclines of 1 in 12.The speed is 2 to C miles per hour forfreight stesners, and 10 miles for pas-senger service. The consumption ofcoal is about half a ton dailv.

This engine not only travels over

This was well Iffustrated in one of theEnglish experiments where the steamerwith a heavy vehicle attached, wasdriven round in a field thoroughly sat-

urated with melted snow. The steam-er left the merest track in the slushyground, while the wheels of the ve-

hicle behiud cutit:nto deep ruts. Butas the engine pass-ove- rj these ruts,when retracing the circle it effacedthem ; and by and by, being detachedand allowed to run over the spotalone, it repaired the surface, andmade it perfectly smooth and even.

An eight horse-powe- r has been inuse for many months, making six tripsdaily from AbcrdeenScotland, to someflouring nulls, 3 miles distant, and car-

rying a load of ten tons each time.The road cn which it travels is de-

scribed as "porh;ips the worst road inthe kingdom," bein harrowed andcrooked, and with gradients for halfthe distance varviug from one in nineto one iu eight. Up these inclines theeteamer, which weighsrsix tons, drawsa load of ten tons. We may add, togive abetter idea of these grades, thatthe steepest incline on the road overthe Siniplon Pass, in Switzland, is onethirteen

On the whole, this new engine whichvirtually converts all our highways in- -

to railways, is to ne considered as oneof the important inventions of this in-

ventive age. Boston Journal of Chem --

screwed up his face, and lockedthoughtful and somewhat bewildered."Moses, I s'pose !"

"That will do," said Counsellor Grey,addressing the court: "The witnesssays he supposes Moses made him ;

thai is an intelligent answer, morethan I thought him capable of giving,for it shows that he has faint idea ofScripture. I submit that is not suS-cie- nt

Messrs. Cowaml & llarriss: GentlemenYour favor to hand wishing a statement

of the application of the Fish Guano uponmy crop of the past season. It affords mepleasure in giving it. I used it both on still"and sandy land by the side of PeruvianGuano. The Fish Guano started the Cot-

ton to growing off earlier, it rev fasterduring the season, kept a green, vigorousgrowth, opened better and made decided-ly a larger yield, than the Peruvian on theone side and rich Compost on the other insame Held. I shall use it the next seasonin preference to any other known fertili-zer. Yours truly,

TIIOS. M. JOHNSTON.

Messrs Kader Biggs & Co., Norfolk, Va.,Gents. In reply to your letter enquiringthe result of the Fish Guano purchased ofyou last Spring, 1 have to any, taking theseasons as. they come, I consider it supe-rior pound for pound to Peruvian Gnanoor any other fertilizer. I used the FishGuano side by side with Peruvian Gnanoand other fertilizers under Cotton, Pota-toes, Turnips, and in the Garden, and al-

ways found the result of the Fish Guanofar more profitable.' I think the effect ofthe application from appearances, muchthe more permanent tharf any other. Iused it on two farms, one medium soil andthe other rather stiff, and found t'.ie resulton each to be equally good. I consider ita No. 1 manure. Yours truly,

mo orfind instances meet to put alongsfde ofthis to toe annals ofthe Court of CharlesIl.of England, that filthy Court wherethe mnnarea himself set an example ofdepravity, where Rochester played theastrologor to get the Court secrets, andGramont got rich by open use of cog-ged dice, and Sedley, a hnsband, afather, a noble, and a wit, was peltedby the mob and egged by the fiishwo-me-

for outraging decency on the verystreets, and befouling the air with ribaldry to mAe hnkmen blush and thecoarse populace hang their heads.

We might find paralells in the re-

cords of the Borgias, and in the chron-icles of the exceptionably wicked liegent of Orleans, for Butler's brazenfront; and yet we honestly believe in-

stances can be picked out in his ca-

reer vrhich make him tower above themall. Why, even that great cowardly,belching butcher, Commissioner.Yeh, of Canton, after he had decapitated hia hundred thousand men and sto-

len his twenty million of dollars, andslanged and bullied and cheated,when he was attacked and defeated,and dragged by the English sailors outof his hiding-plac- e, he lay quiveringlike a great pudding thrust into a pottoo small to hold it, and was confront-ed with the people whom he had tortured and malign-d- , could not retainhis assurance, bat averted his face andstammered and tried to explain andextenuate. .But Butler I who eversaw him blush? Who ever saw himstammer or seek to draw even theslightest veil of decency and decorumever that monstrous front of brazen ini-

quity? Behold him challenging hiscurslike record as general, cooly un-

corking himself with the same instru-ment that bottled him up ; behold himjingling in public the plunder he sweptup in Southern homes, counting hisspoons to see that no one serves htm ashe' servad others ; clinking bis doub-loons and1 rattling his bonds in thevery face of the outraged1 and assonish-e- d

world! Behold him io Congress,baited, beaten, baffled, scorned, snub-bed, soourged, spit upon, branded withevery foul epithet, and every foul epithet sticking to him, even that which he
