On Saturday evening, the President bad
a long .consultation, with General Sher?
man, Attoruey-0eoaral Williams and
Secretary Rbbeson at which tbe New
Orleans trouble was thoroughly dUoufsed
and high handed measures "were sog I
gested, to which the President attentive?
ly listened, and' whiob. will probably be I
carried oat before the aloee of the pre
sent week. The 'Administration is una?
ble to understand why'Mr. Kellogg does
not make \m requisition for Federal
troops, as it ia claimed he has a perfect
right to do, is the .absence o! the Le?
gislature, to maintain the peaoe and
assist the civil authorities' in administer?
ing the laws. It is aaid that he is the
f>roper iudpre to determine whether there1
s a condition of , society requiring the j
interference: of the army, ana that any
aid be might require would be promptly
furnished, so far as tbe President is con- ?
oefnod. It is not the President's inten
lion to take any euergetio notion until
this requisition is made by Kellogg, and
it it hoped ho will make the demand!
without further delay. Ar soon as the
requisition is made, the President will
issue a proclamation in' the most positive
language, admonishing the citizens of
Louisiana to peace, deposing the Mj
Eudry Government and proclaiming Kel?
logg as the lawful Governor, and an?
nouncing the intention of the Executive
to sustain Kellogg with the wholo mili?
tary force of tbo country, if necessary.
This proclamation is to be accompanied
with an order to send ail available troops
to report to General Emery at New Or
\ leans. The proclamation will be in suob
i language that it will be susceptible of no
doubtful meaning, and it will convey, as
plain as words can, the determination of
the President as above set. forth. Tlje
action proposed, it is said, meets the
hearty approval of the Attorney-General.

PtiANT OiTBN.?Ono Of tbo bOS t rule
the farmer or gardener can follow to in
sure success in getting a good stand of
tender crops, is to plant often. Take,
for example, melons, squashes, cucum?
bers, Lima beans, and sooh other pro?
ducts as may be desirablo to start early,
and which often fail when planted early,
aud apply the rule at the head of this
article, and success would bo certain.
Fit your ground early; make broad, rieh,
flat hills, slightly crowning, to insure
drynoss and gniu warmth. Thon plant
early in tho season, and ono week later,
pat down a few more seeds ia tho hills!
with the thumb and fingers; a week later,
repeat tho planting, and if tho season be
particularly cold aud backward, and the
first plantings do not appear, a fourth
may bo neoossary. By this method, suc?
cess is rendered certain; but little timo
is lost, for the later planting will grow so
fast as to overtake the first. At the pro?
per time, thinning must be done, and
tbe crop is then handsomely started on
its journey.?Rural Home.

An American judge onoo intervened in
an odd way to prevent a waste of words.
He was sitting in chambers, and seeing
from the piles of pspers in the lawyers'
bands that tho first case was likely to bo
hardly contested, ho asked, "Whatisthe
amount in qnestion?" "Two dollars,"
said the plaintiff's oonnsel. "I'll pay
it,'' said the judge, handing over the
money; "call the next ease."

Iu an action for slander, Justice
Oresswell put the oase to the jury in the
emphatio words: "Gentlemen, tbe de?
fendant's a foul-mouthed fellow. What
damages?"?an example of judicial
brevity only to be matched by _aron
Alderson's address to a convicted pri?
soner, who prayed that God]might strike
him dead where he stood if he were not
innocent. After a moment's silence the
judge sternly and coldly said: "Prisoner
at the bar, as Prpvidenoe has not inter?
posed in behalf of society, tbe sentence
of the court is that you be transported
for the term of twenty years,"
A Florida coast letter to the New York
San says: "Most of the inhabitants here
wear wrecked goods. Even their hats
and Bhoea* oome from stranded ships.
Their wives and daughters have dresseB
and aprons made of wrecked calico,
their ?blen are covered with wrecked
linen, and their beds ate spread with
wrecked muslin. A good wreck will
supply an economical family for years.
The ship ushore is regarded as legiti?
mate prey. The people are honest and
passably industrious, but they will go
for a wreck like galls for a dead fish."
Another Jewish Exodus.?The brutal
persecutions which the Jews have suf?
fered so long in Boumania will probably
result not only in benefits to the Jews,
unforeseen by their persecutors, but in a
great gain to this country. Several
woalthy Jews have secently arrived in
New York, as agents of their brethren in
Boumania, to select & home in the New
World, Where the colonists may enjoy
religious freedom. As soon as a home I
is Bdoared, from 8.000 to 6,000 Jews will
embark for New York.
Pension to Widows.?The pension
laws as amended by the last Congress
will, .give; increased pension to widows
having one child. The amount of in?
crease is 82 per month, and has not been
allowed heretofore exoept where there
was more than one child. Many claims
are now being filed under the new law,
and the question to be decided is whether
the increase is to date back from July 22,1
1866, the date of original Aot increasing
widows' pensions, or from date of modi
fled law of last HOBbion.
Monoure D. Conwsy tells this story in
one of his London letters to the Cincin?
nati Commercial: "Let me conclude my
letter with the following little conversa?
tion which I overheard at the Adelphi
Theatre a few evenings ago. The play I
was "Jack Cade." First stranger, re
! marking upon one of the earliest thefts
of the hero, says, 'He's a fair candidate
for Newgate.' Second stranger says, 'If
he went to America he'd be a fair candi?
date for Congress.' Fad."

A Kansas district school was reoontly
visited and addressed by Messrs. Big
Mouth, Powder Faoe and Spotted Wolf
?all the noblest kind of noble red men.
A misohievous school-boy placed a pin
trap where Big Mouth sat" down, and
that chieftain was observed to rise hastily
and remark: "Ugh! too much fleo
bite. Me no stay to hear class in Ana
lytical Geology." Then he left.
BbutaXi Assault. ?Mr. Aaron Thomas
was brutally assaulted one day last week,
by two negroes, whom he met on the
highway. One of tbe negroes knocked
him off his horse with an axe, and the]
other stamped him in tbe faoe with bis
feet. Mr. Thomas thinks ho knows one
of the party. The assault was made
without provocation whatever. Mr.
Thomas was very seriously hurt.

Tho New Orleans papers of tho 10th

of forestalling detraction, that last night

duty for the citizen of Illinois who wants
