For several years past be did not do anything else but get up advertisements for Parisian dry goods dealers. He was a perfect genius in this Tine. The famous advertisement which began with the words "Wei], we have foiled, we are bankrupt," and which proved a perfect gold mine for the merchant tailors' company, was written by him. He reoeived as much as 500 francs for a single advertisement. He would often say to the merchants: "Xou , throw voor money to the dogs the way you advertise. People like to deal with witty merchants. Get up a sprightly advertisement, and you will attract twice as many customers as by pursuing the same .dull and heavy way in which Adam and Noah advertised already." -? The New York Court of Appeals, the highest judicial tribunal in the State, has decided that suicide does not vitiate a life insurance policy. The American Mutual Life Insurance Company refused to pay the widow of Marcus W.

The company attempted to prove that Giwon was an atheist or infidel, aod therefore that the suicide was intentional, the deceased not having the fear of God before him ; but the court ruled out this as irrelevant, and held that in an action to recover for an insurance upon the life Of tDC G6CC89CU.

W THE 8TATE CONSTABULARY, g In accordance with the late Act of the Legisla- tr aire, providing a State Constabulary force, a con- <ja itabulary has been organized and deputies distrib- nc iited throughout the State.

Some time ago, we copied a paragraph from an p( exchange, giving an account of a cat having per- th mitted a rat to take the place of a litter of kittens ti Df which, she had been deprived. Mr. Samuel ^ Hemphill, of this County, has related to us a somewhat similar freak on the part of a ficc bitch kept ^ an his premises. This bitch brought forth a litter al sf puppies which were taken away from her, when i kitten at once assumed their plaoe. The bitch th jontinued to suckle the kitten until it reached the proportions of a cat; she. io the meantime, exhib- (j, iting the same fondness for it as if it was one of cj ber own offspring. ? T SORGHUM MOLASSES. * We are gratified to find that all of our farmers ^ bave not abandoned the cultivation of the Chinese jugar cane and the manufacture of molasses. A small quantity of molasses was recently left with us by Mr. J. A. J. Graham, of this County, made for home use, which, upon examination, we find ^ to be superior to the West India Molasses, and to compare favorably with the best "New Orleans." The demand for a good article of home-made mo- q lasses is much in excess of the supply, and we are cj surprised that our farmers do not pay more atten- ^ tion f6 this Want. ' Every dollar sent abroad for q food that can be produced at home, makes our q section of country that much the poorer! p LARGE EARS OF CORN. a' As a sample of what can be produced in York County, Mr. John Walker has sent us an ear of oorn raised on his farm. The cob measures fourteen inches in length and bears nearly nine hun- . dred unusually large and plump grains. It is of T,1 the "Walker" variety, which has attained quite a local reputation. P' Unwilling to "acknowledge the corn," Mr. A. ai J. Daviney, has left with us an ear of the "gourd r Beed" variety, the oob of which has upon it near ai twelve hundred grains. Both are fine specimens, ei and we hope that each of our friends have a suffi- a: ciency of the article for their own use and some .a to spare to their neighbors, who may not be so well ? n favored. st EGYPTIAN WHEAT. t( Mr. Thomas A. Gwinn, of this County, has left tl at the Enquirer Office several heads of what he v< calls "Egyptian Wheat," together with a small n paroel of flour produced from the same variety. U The beads have a general resemblance to bunches n of sorghum seed. The grains are nearly white, of ft an oval form and quite firm. The sample of flour d has about the same appearance as "seconds" pro- tl duced from the common wheat, and bread made U from it is represented to be as nutritious as any g otber. For muffins, batter-cakes, etc., it is said to be unequaled. * ti The wheat is very prolific, it being estimated & that soil which will yield ten bushels of corn per tl acre, will produce eighty bushels of this grain. F Persons who may wish to examine this new pro- a duction can do so by calling at the Enquirer of- tl fice. An advertisement in another column will n give information as to how a small quantity of the a wheat may be obtained. if .! . r . 7 8ALES DAY.

The series of oscillations which opened seams in le earth, shook down walls, chimneys and paraets, and destroyed life and property together, bein about eight o'clock on Wednesday morning, Jth ult, and were continued until midnight. The ublio buildings in San Franoiaco were, many of lent, either ruined for occupancy, or rendered injure, while in an entire section of the city everyting like business was suspended, the people aindoning their Ijdases and taking to the streets, he excitement tfver the visitation was universal ud profound. '-The motions of the earth were felt u-into the interior, and over a large breadth of njntiy.

In a speech delivered in New York, a short me ago, Judge Pierrepont (Radical, though he as a Democrat at the time he held the oonversaon with Grant) said"' * One day at his house in Washington, while he as Secretary cif War, I told him that I thought e would make a good Democratic candidate if he as right on the question of negro snttrage. lie jplied that he had no wish for the Presidency: bat he had now a much higher office than he had rer expected; that General Sherman would make good President, and that be would gladly give be half he was. worth to make Sherman or any ther fit man President;that his feelings and seniments were entirely opposed to negro suffrage; ut that he did not wish to be restrained by any ledges from the right to change his opinion in faore if new exigenc convinced him that he was rroog \ for, said he, you will remember that early 1 the war, when X was in command of the West, "??I? a!? * Va/1 on moiiv. puuiiciy BUltCU IQ&U II lllD ucgiuto uuu au iuoui* ecticm I. would bold my army hi check until it was ut dowb. But lone Mure the war was over I bould have been glad of a negro insurrection, and rould have moved my army all the faster. What wapt is the Union?the whole country returned 3 peace and submissive to the laws. I do not like ntversal negro suffrage now, but the freedmen ugh to be protected, and if the only way to protect hem in their helpless condition is to give them the affrage, then I shall be in favor of letting them otb. I want the Union restored, and to have the iputh come back, obey the laws, apd submit as ood citizens.; and if the future proves' that they riti not do it without negro suffrage, then I would ivc'them negro suffrage." \\ r i ?
