A Lesso.v por Scolding VVives. - "And I daré say you havo scolded your wife very often, Newinan," saiü 1 once. Oíd Newman looked down, and his wife looked up to reply - 'Never to signify - and if he has, I deserve it." "And I dnre say, if the trutli were told, you have scolded hun quite as often. Nny," aid the oíd woman, wiíh a beauty of kindness which a!l the poetiy iu ihe world canncl excel. '"IIow caD a wife scold a good man, who has been warking foT lier and htr little ones all 3ay? It iay do for a man to be peevish for it is he wlio bears the crosses of ihe worH, but who should make him forget ihem but his own wife? And she had best for her own sake, for nobudy can ccold much when the scolding is all on ene side. If yin: have a;i eneniy, act kiny to him and niake hi:n your friend. You rnay nol witi m ai once, but try agiin. Let one kindnefci be fulluweJ by another. lili yoa have compassed your end. By liltle and liltle. great tliings are completod. And so repeuted kii.dnesü wil I weur away a heari of stone. Iowa. - The Democrnts will h-ive a majority on joint ballot in the Iowa Lpgis1 ature, and thusbe uble lo choose tvvo U. S. Senators. Duth the members of Cngress chosen in the recent election are Democrais. Slccessful Surgical Opehation. - We ai e informed from a creditable eource, that an eminent physicmn of this cily, a few days ago, opened the stomach of a palient, and removed several hard substances, which had completely ob structed the passage from it. However singular this seems it is neverthelesd true. The patiënt, we are glnd to learn is doing well and will undoubledly recover. The operation was perfurmed in the presence of several gentlemen and occupied from ten to fifteen minules. Verily we may ask, what next? - Manchester (N H) American. India Rubber Saddles. - India rubber is now used for saddles - to which its elasticity, durability, and other qualities, peculiarly adapts it. Chicago Convention. - The Chicago Tribune says the recent Convenlion held in thit city put into the pockets of the citiztns from 50,000 to $5100,000. HOW MUCH IS A "IIORSE PoWER." The Scientific American says, "what is generally considered as constituling a horse power is sufficient lojraise one hundred and tliirty pounds, one hundred feet in one minute." How a Farmer out West Preserves his Eogs. - A gallon pot is filled with eggs. a:id one pint of lime, of the consistency of common white wash, poured in, and the pot filled with water. A board is then plnced on the top, and the water, which is never changed, as well as the eggs, remains pure and sweet. This practico is the one most common in France, the inhabitants of which., to iheir love of frogs and soup, add also it nppears, a very commendable taste for eggs. Heavy Loss. - It is estimated that the losses by plunder of the U. States trains in Mexico amount to $5,000,000. This is certainly a large amount. From all the published accounts, we would suppose that $2,000,000 would cover this ■business of the rancheros and the guerjllas.
