Hophin drew from his bosom a gold-ombroi dorod purse, and presented it to tho high-priest. "But, be fore I net," remarked the latter, 'T must previously ascertain whether E/.ela- de serves the death you doom her to.

Buadwei.i., Probate .lodge. 23 pages. Chicago: K.1L Myers and Chand ler. Isiiii. I In this opinion, delivered at September \ Term, 18G(?, of the County Court of Cook County, Illinois, the following point is de i cided : ? ; Two slaves went through the ceremony of ' marriage with the consent of their masters, i and had a child; the mothcr'dlcd in slavery; ? ihc t'j'hor ?ud child were emancipated; the father afterwards died. Held, that the child was legitimate,-and was his father's heir. The class of questions, one of which was ,prcseuted in this case, is of great -importance, but is beset with difficulties, both of theory and practice. Of previous cases the one which seems to have gone farthest in sustaining the validity of slave marriages is Girod v. Lctcvt, (J Martin, f)50,j but there the cohabitation con tinued after emancipation. This case takes another step, for bore the mother died in slave ry. A practical difficulty in carrying out the doctrine of this case seems likely to arise from the number of connections of this sort to which the same slave was often a party: they can hardly nil be legal marriages, and yet there seems no reason for selecting one rather than another.' That the first of such connections has no greater validity than a hitter has been decided in the somewhat analogous case of Mormon marriages, in tin able-opinion by Sir James Wilde, in the ease of Ifyde v. Wuod inOnxec, in tho English divorce court, reported in Law Rep. 1. P. & D. 130.?American Law lleeieit. A Valuable Hint From an Insect. Itthas been said that the operations of the snider suggested tho arts of spinning and weaving to man. That may be doubtful, but it is quite certain that to a hint from an insect was due the invention of a machine instrumen tal in accomplishing one of the most stupend ous works of modern times?the excavation of the Thames Tunnel. Mark Isambard Brunei, t lie great engincor, was standing one day,about half n,century ago, in a ship-yard, watching the movements of an animal known as the Teredo Xitr<de.-i?-in English, tho naval wood-worm? when a.brilliant thought suddenly occurred to him. lie saw that this creature bored its way into the piece of wood upon which it was operating, by means of a very extraordinary mechanical apparatus. Looking at the animal attentively though a microscope, bo found that it was covered in front with a pair of valvular shells; that with its-lout :is a purchase, it com municated ? rotary motion and a forward im pulse to tlui vulvo*.whvioh, actingiipoifcJd>fc wood like a gimhlct. peue tratet! its substance; and that as the particles of wo id were loosened, they passed through a fissure in the foot, and thence though the body of the borer to its mouth, where they were expelled. Here, said Brunei to himself, is the sort of thing I want. Can I reproduce it in an artificial form? He forthwith set to work, and the final result of his labors, after many failures, was the famous Hol ing Shield, with which the Thuines Tunnel was excavated. This story was told by Brunei himself, and there is no reason to doubt its truth. Tho keen observer can draw useful less >ns from the humblest of the works of Clod" [Lrdyer What tiik South Musi' Do.?Our hope, says the Baltimore Gazette, is that they will stand firm?not defiant, not recalcitrant, but quiet, passive?apathetic, if you will?and let the evil thing come. It will come more cer tainly if they consent to eat dirt at the bidding of their oppressors than if they refuse to groV cl at their feet. They were brave and enter prising in war. Let them now exhibit to the world the grander spectacle of steadfast endu rance under defeat and subjugation. It is a hard lesson to learn, but it has its uses. It has also its compensations. The fortitude that meets oppression calmly, balHcs and confounds the oppressor. Where men have moral stamina to confront the worst without faltering, they are strong even in their weakness. There is a limit to the bitterest persecution which cannot safely be overpassed. There is a hero ism in patient suffering that touches more near ly the sympathies of civilized nations than the horuwni of the battle-field. Nut an Inch Should nil COxckded.? Not an inch should be conceded, says the Phil adelphia Ayr. to this march of usurpation. Concession will not satisfy the greedy appetites of the men who are now leading the assault upon the rights of the States and liberties of the people. Ninety-nine points given up without a contest, and still the party in power would use force to tear the remaining right or liberty from the grasp of a reluctant people. It is now the confessed intention of the Radical party to destroy the Southern States, and and govern the territory by military power. Is that un not I which should be accepted or applauded? If not. then the means must be taken to prevent tho mischief. One of these means is an appeal to the Supreme Court, and the Enquirer is right in urging that duty upon the people of Virginia aud the South. We loarn, from the highest authority that, since tho status of the South has been some what defined, and there is no practical cvidouco oPnh immediate chango in the civil authority , of the ?State, our bills receivable have apprceia I tod in value and in a fair way to attain their formerMandard - -Columbia Carolinian. AGRICULTURAL, &~C. Protecting The Peach From Spring Frosta, The only obstacle We have to contend whit, or ever do have to really endanger'-our peach crop, is late spring frosts. . A'?aih?t 'these, a porfect protection is found in Binokel which, first recommended in Gardening for the .South, has now bebn tried in this vicinity fo'j/ovbr ten years, without a failure. It is mrf - necessary h.re to do anything generally, in'the way of protecting the fruit, before the last- of M rch. It is the late March and April frosts that are to be feared. It is a dense smoke, not bent, that is required. Prepare some fat lightwocd, split np very^ fine, also some billets of dry wood, -out- quite short, all kept under cover until needed. Prepare also, in advance, piles of wet tan chips, saw dust or othor damp combustibles, where fires aro most likely to be needed. The wood should be distributed the- evening- -previous. About two or three o'clock in the' morning, have all hands up aud start fires,- about two rods asunder, all over the orchard; the windward ones being nearest. Three or four 'St?des are aro required for each fire, which, whert well started, should have a stick or two 'of green wood added. Then put on and nearly smother the fire with the wet tan or tradL If any pile breaks, out iuto a flame, apply -more trash, tu. keep up, from dampened, smouldering fires, a curtain of moist, heavy smoke over the trees, until the sun is well up, and the-frost-fully ex tracted. The smoke from fires of dry wood is so light and rises so vapidly in a cold, fronty night, that it really affords no protection, while while that from damp material, loaded with uioisturc, hugs tho ground and dk*>ipates very slowly. If your fruit rsfrozen s/Mid before you begin, or while you are at work, do not despair, but make all the smoke you cau, and as light a. protection as it seems, looking through it when; the sun i* rising, we have bad it so fully protect the frozen fruit from rapid thawing, that the frost was all extracted without injury to the fruit. In our first trial, wewerc about giv'eriupiu despair, the cold was so mtense at day-break, , but our success was "perfect. At 'this* pktte, the fruit is very seldom, iiideed, destroyed before April, iu which month net move than one or two frosts arc tobe expected, tindagaiust these it is well to provide.?Snuthrru Cultiuator Melons 1 The melon has been cutivatc-d for centuries. It is a Untivo of Persia, and draws its rich and luscious juices from her arid and barren sands. To have the Melon here irs perfection, it must be grown in a sandy soil. New laud. fmlfi from the woods, suits them best. A piece of new land that has been trod by cattle, will pro duce the water-melon of monstrous size. All melons, to be kept pure, should not be planted I in the immediate vicinity of Squashes. Cucum bers or Gourds, as1 the seed saved from these, raised in close proximity, will produce" Mchfis partaking of the nature and flavor of all the squash tribe?the mixture of the pollen pro ducing new varieties, but rendering all worth less, causing the Melon to be insipid, the* Cucumber overgrown and hollow, the Sqiwsh to be watery, and the Gourd shell soft. Water and musk melons may be planted from the middle of March, through the month ?n~ April, riant water-melons ten feet apart each way. sonic eight or ten seeds to a hill, nntLsvhen they show four leaves, thin out to four plant* tu a hill. Musk-melons may be planted about five feet apart, and thinned out in the same manner. Tho Nutmeg or Citron Musk-mclou is the finest variety cultivated. When grown in per fection, it combines the flavor of the Straw berry and Pine Apple, but this variety should not bo grown in the vicinity of any other melon. To save seed, select the earliest and \*cA inciting dry in tho shade, and put them away in paper hags. Water-melon seed improve with tijgey and may be kept ton years to advantage.? Cnmminucutal by Dr. Ctririiilt, from Trtttmtc ttonnof the Southern Centra/ Afj/H Socirfy. Liquid Honey.?The following rcoipe. fm a beautiful liquid honey, is taken from 3Ir. Langstroth, who says tho best judges have pronounced it one of the most luscious articles they over tasted. Put two poundsof the purest white sugar in as nmchhot writer-its will dissolve it; take or.o pound of strained white clover honey ?any honey of good flavor will answer?ami add it warm to the sirup, thoroughly stirring together. As refined loaf sugar is a pure aud inodorous swoot, ono pound of honey will give its flavor to two pounds of sugar, and the com pound will bo freo from that smarting taf'o that pure honey often has, and will usually agree with those who cannot eat the latter with impunity. Any desired flavor can be added to it. * '_ Some ex-Froderieksburg darkies voted at ihe election in Georgetown.
