PEABODY’S PROLIFIC. .
The Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer says, “Tn our !
paper of the 6th October last, we >?ave au account
of our visit to Peabody’s corn field, for the pur
pose of examining the ear on the stalk, the num
ber of ears on each, &c. We found all which hud
been said of its prolific nature fully verified, and
in order that our readers might not charge us
with exaggerated id«as of its supposed yield, %ve
then stated, that, in our opinion, GO to SO bushels
per acre would be a moderate estimate. The corn
has since been accurately nioasnred, and our e.^ti-
matc found to bo under the murk, a lon^ ways
for its actual yield was ninety-two huafie/s and i
jHck por acre—the whole 25 acres producitig tw»

BUSINESS—WHAT IS IT?
“What do you call business?” inquires one of
the characters in the new play by Dumas. “What
do I call business? The simplest thing in life—
other people’s vionei/” The play is denounced by
some of the New York critics as intolerably dull.
But the above is certainly a sharp specimen of
sarcasm.
To feather yourself at another’s e5pen.e ana
turn out the plucked pigeon to shiver, freeze and
die, is not the true idea of business. In a legi
timate transaction both parties are gainers, and
mutually benefit each other. Business is the
exchange of the superfluity *t)f one man, or one
nation orcommunity, for that of another; the sur
plus in each case being converted into a useful
commodity or necessary. The parties readily re
peat negotiations by which both are benefited
They are made friends by trafiic, or if friendly,
become more so. Honorable trade is one of the
best bonds of amity, au agent of civilization, and
a promoter of Christianity. Merc heartless spi eu-
lation, stock gambling, the raising of the wind,
imparting a fictitious value to bubble?, or depre
ciating stocks and commodities, that the owner
may be compelled to sell at a I '.'S, monopoly,
cornering, fore-stalling, and all sui h sharp prac
tices if diiinified with the name of busiues.«i—are
bad business to say tlic best of them. I hey tniii-
istortono real prosperify. They cr#ute or increase
no wealth, but cause a part of the world to be im
poverished or plundered to enrich the rest, >ueh
operatious nro sure to be followed by distress and
enibarra.-sment, greater or less, as the lust of gain
is more or less an epi-lemic. They srota to be
the bane and curse ol’ ni w sertleiaont-*; •,;nd while
they may give a fictiti.ai-; pr >sperify, inevitably

Business then, is not “the money .f ^ th.er men,"
but one’s own fair gain^ It is not unremitteil

society, to the advantage of p^ .'ttrity, ai;d to he
substantial wealth and hapjiine.'.-, of tl.. city and
country. That patriotism whieh. under ruder
conceptions, made people aggr> ssive in war, by
the gentler yet more effective operations i>f peac",
builds and beautifies cities, makes the country a
garden, and gives us men «trong in mind and supe
rior in the ataples of true mauliuc>s. Business
is to modern society what war was to the dark
ages. It developes the race in the bettor consti
tuents of character, promotes amity among na
tions, and, while it adds .o human virtue ai.d
knowledge, increases happiness. When the voca
tion of man was fighting, he naturally and neces
sarily despised humanizing pursuits. Now that
the race is engaged in more (Christian employ
ments, and war is the exception, men pride them
selves in doing what free-booting kings and barons
scorned as effeminate. Napoleon I heartily des
pised the British as a nation of shopkeepers. Na
poleon III sees the strength of a shop-keeping na
tion, and would fain bring the uneasy French to
the same habits of trade and industry. “The em
pire is peace,” he says, and in that saying his sa
gacity is evident.—Xorth American.
Prosperity’s Friends.—One of the hardest trials
of those who fall from affluence and honor to
poverty and obscurity, is the discovery that the
attachment of so many in whom they confided was
a pretence, a mask, to gain their own ends, or was
a miserable shallowness. Sometimes, doubtless,
it is with regret that these frivolous followers of
the world desert those upon whom they have fawn
ed; but they soon forget them. Flies leave the
kitchen when the dishes are empty. The para
sites that cluster about the favorite of fortune,
to gather his gifts and climb by his aid, linger
with the sunshine, but scatter at the approach of
a storm, as the leaves cling to a tree in summer
weather, but drop off at the breath of winter, and
leave it naked to the stinging blast. J^ike ravens
settled down for a banquet, and suddenly scared
by a noise, how quickly, at the first sound of ca
lamity, these superficial earthlings are mer specks
on the horizon!
But a true friend sits in the centre, and is for
all times. Our need only reveals him mure fully,
and binds him more closely to us. Prosperity , . .
and adversity are both revealers, the differenee ! himself to a National Bank. Ou this subject
being that in the former our friends know us, in ■ following paragraph:

Ihstituthm in .Seir Ynr/i.—Those w!io do not
visit our police stations at night know but little
of the vast amount of suffering n>'W existing in
the city. At every one of the twenty-two pidice
stations may be found nightly from tweiity to
forty wretches who arc profoundly thankful for
the privilege of being allowed to sleep on a bcnch
or ou the stone floor of the loJgers’ cells. They
are frequently crowded so much that there is n'>t
room for them to lie down at full length; and,
when the places are thus filled to their utmost
capacity, the homeless creatures may be seen on
any night crying when refused shelter, and thua
forced to sleep in the open air. Many of them
would starve but for the loaves given nightly ut
nearly every station-hou.se to those in extreme
need. The persons thus suffering are not usually
drunken vagabonds, but are, in hundreds of cases
mechanics who would work at any kind of labor
for a mere sub.'istencc.—New Y'jr/c Sun.

THE MORMON WAR
The President, in his message, does not over
estimate the importance of putting down the first
rebellion that has ever been rai.sed in our territo
ries. But, in our opinion, the measure he pro
poses is most ridiculou'ily inade(|uatc to the end
in view Hy all accounts, the whole population
of Utah has been plaecl on a war-footing. Every
man capable of bearing arms has been ilrilledinto
a good soldier. They arc amply provided with
arms, ammunition, provisions, and all the muni
tions of war. They are in a country uncommonly
strong by nature, ami almost inacees^iible when
approached from certain quarters. They arc in
league with numerous tribes of Iniliana, many of
whom have even embraced thf'ir religion. Tiiey

under Washingion anl Uochambeau, were only
12,riO0 strong; viz: r),r)U(> Americans, and 7,000

hatred against the “(lentiles,” and the fiercest
reliiiious enthusiasm From pn!sent appearances,
they inein to fight to the death. Now, to put
down this most formidable reb' llion, tlie President
asks f'lr four additional regiments, and he apolo
gises even for a^iking this much! Wfiy, they will
not be a lunch to stay the stomachs of the mur

Tiie di.'eipline of party comjicls the officials of

matter is in the h.inds of a self-constituted com
mittee, of which a distinguished member from
\ irginia is the head, which distributes the various
positions nominally in his gift, without reference
j to him. A eurivius circuii)'«tance worth relating
i is told ill this connection, as having occurred a
j day or two ago The chairman of this committee
I brought a stalwart young Irishman to the Capitol,
to introduce him to hifl new station and its former
occupant, whom he rc(jue:'tcd to explain to him
his duties. The new comer looked at the man he
wa* about to displace, and discovered that be was
a cripple On asking him how he had become
thus mutilated, he was told that he had been shot
and cut “to pieces” in the battle of Buena Vi.-ta,
! left for deai] on the field, and only recovered to
. find himself hopele.ssly maimed for life. The
generous-hearted fellow looked first at one and
I then the other, and finally blurted out, as he turn
ed on his heel—“If this man’s place is the ouly
one you have got for me, I’ll not have it at all!”

me that for a long, bmg time, the number of
letters which he receives has been nearly 3000

of it, for there is no just law requiring forbear

for the FiOrd does not want us to be driven, and

There cannot be a more damnable, dastardly
order issued than was issued by the administra
tion to this people while they were in an Indian
country in I'^lti Before we left Nauvoo, not less
than two United States Senators came to receive
a pledge fmm us that we would leave the United
States, and then while we were doing our best to
leave their borders, the poor, low, tlegraded curses,
sent a requisition for five hundred of our men to
go and fight their battlesi That was President
Polk, and he is now wallering in hell with old
Zachary Taylor, where the present administration
will soon be, if they do not repent.
I have told you that if r.his people will live up
to their religion, -ill will 'oe well; and I have told
you that if there is any man or woman that is not
willing to destroy anything and everything of their
property that would be of use to au enemy if left,
1 wanted them to go out of the Territory, and I
again say so to day, for when the time comes to
burn and lay waste our improvements, if any mao
undertakes to shield he will be sheared down, for
“judgment will be laid to the line and righteoua-
ness to the plummet.” Now the faint hearted
can go tu peace, but should that time come, they
must not interfere. Before I will suffer what I
have in times gone by, there shall not be one
building, nor one foot of lumber, nor a stick, nor
a tree, nor a particle of grass and hay, that will
burn, left in reach of our enemies. I am sworn,
if driven to extremity, to utterly lay waste in the
name of Israel’s God
Suppose that our enemies send 50,000 troops
here, they will have to transport all that will be
requisite to sustain them before they comc, for
here there shall not be one particle of forage nor
one mouthful of food for (hem should they come.
They will have to bring all their provision and
forage, and though they start ‘heir teams with as
heavy loads as they can draw, there is no team
that could bring enough to sustain itself, to say
nothing of the meu. If there were no tnoro men
here than there are in the Seminole nation, our
enemies could never use us up, but they oould
use themselves up, which they will do. Semiooles,
a little tribe of a few hundred in Florida, have
cost our Governtnent, I suppose, in the neighbor
hood of ^100,0t)0, and they are now no nearer being
conquered than when the war commenced.
It has been asked, “Have you counted the
cost,” Yea, for ourselves, but I cannot begin to
count it for our enemies. It will cost them all
they have in this world, and will land them in
hell in the world to come, while the only trouble
with us is that we have two or three times more
men than we have need for using up all who
come here to deprive us of our right.
It is my faith and feeling that if we live as we
should live they cannot como here, but I am de
cided in my opinion that if worse comes to worst,
atid the Lord permits them to come upon us, I
will desolate this whole Territory before I will
again submit to the hellish corruption and bon
dage the wicked are striving to thrust upon us
solely for our exercising our right of freedom of
conscience.
I will say in reference to President Buchanan,
that for his outrageous wickedness in this move
ment, he shall wear the yoke as long as he lives;
he sball be led about by his party with the yoke
on his neck, until they have accomplished their
ends, aud he can do no more for them, and his
name shall be forgotten; and “Old Bright,” as
^If- Kimball calls him, shall be free.
After doing what they have already done te
t^is people, after sending among us the filth and
scum of all creation (as some of the oflBcers were)
as officers of the government, contrary to t'ne ge
nius of our institution?, I want to tell them that
though they continue to send poor, pusillanimous
curses here to be gi'vernment officers, we will not
submit to it, troops or no troops I shall tell
them this iu plainness and simplicity, and they
shall find that in my simplicity I will try to sus
tain so righteous a position.
Heber’s Opinion of Senator Dougla$.-^N.Kixy
of you have sustained Judge Dougrla.s as being a
true friend to this people, and he is just as bin a
damned rascal as ever walked, and always has
been; he has taken a course to get into the chair
of State; and that is what he is after; he w-ill try
to accomplish that if be goex to bell the next day;
but he will u(>t g3 into the chair of State, he will
go to hell.
Poi*oned }>i/ Colored (^andieg.—At Catskill, N
Y., on Monday last, Mary Lynes, a younLf l i ly
residing in that villaije, was taken suddenly siek
while at school in tho afternoon, and lied at 9
o’clock in the evening. She had all the symp
toms of poison, and it is supposed that she was
poisoned by eating colored candies.
Doctor, lie IJtis f)oii^ It. — A physician tells
the following story, not without some regret on
his part for the advice i;iven: “A hanl workin;;
woman had a drunken husband, who, when partly
sober, would get the blues and ende-avor to le-
stroy himself by taking laudanum Twice did
the wife ascertain that he had swallowed the de
structive drug, and twice did the doctor restore
him. Upon the second restoration, thi; doetor
addressed him as follows; ‘You gooel-for-nothinz
scoundr*l, you don’t want to kill yourself, you
merely want to annoy your wife and me. If yui
want to kill yourself, why don’t you cut your
throat and put an end to the m-atter?’ Well, away
went the doctor, and thought no more of his pa
tient until, some two weeks after, he was awaken
ed from a sound nap by the tinkling of his night-
bell. He put his head out of the window and in-
(juired ‘What’s tho matter?’ ‘Diot.or, lie husdono
it,’ w-as the reply. ‘Done what?’ ‘.John has tak
en your advice.’ ‘What aiivice?’ ‘Why, you
toM him to cut his throat, and he hasilone it, atil
he is uncommon dead this time ” Imagine the
doctor’s feelings. He has since ceased gi-.iug such
cuttinij advice.

I A .Meiliciaal Diet Hrink, of euiint.iitly saluiairy (|ualiite», iii»nu
; raclnred Uy biiiiself exclusively, at his I'uctory at Scliiedaoi, in ihil
i lanti.
I li i( nitiiie fruiu the best Barley that CHn be selected in Ktuo|H.*,
with the essence of an aruniHtic Italian berry ot ackuowle(l|$e«l and
extraordiDary medicinal priipert es. It has long iiuce acquired a
higher reputauuo, both in Europe and America, than any utiier
diuretic beverage.
In (travel, (juut, and Rheumatism, in Obstructions of the Bladder
and Kidneys, and in eeneral Debility, its effects are prompt, de
cided, and invariably reliable. And it is not only a remedy for
these iiialadies. but, in all cases in which they are produced by
drinking bad water^ which is aimost unlverially the cause of
them, it 0|ierates as a rare preventive.
The disuessing effect upon the stomach, bowels and bladder, of
travelers or new residents, and all persons unaccustomed to them
produced by the waters of nearly all our great inland rivtrs, like
the Uhio, .Mississippi, and .Alabama, from the large quantity of de
cayed vegetable matter contained in them, Id a state of solution, is
well known, as also that of the waters of limestone regiuns in pro
ducing Gravel, Calculi, and Stoue in the Bladder. The Aromatic
ScBiKOAit Schnapps is an absolute corrective of these injurious
properUe* of bad water, and consequently prevents the diseases
which they occasion. U is also found to be a cure aud prevenUve
of Fever and Ague, a complaint caused by the conjoint ellect of
vegeubla malaria in the atmosjihere, aud vegetalile pruttscences
in the waters of those districu in which it principally prevails.
The .\romatic ScBicoAM iScHNAPPs is consequently in great de
mand by persons traveling, or about to setUe in those parts of the
country, especially, as well as by many in every coiiiuiiuiity where
it has become known, on account of iu various other remedial
properties.
In all cases of a Dropsical tendency, it is lenerally the only
remedy required, when adopted in the early stages of the disease.
In Dyspepsia maladies, when taken in proper quantities, as e diet
drink, aud especially at dinner, it is found, by uniform exjierience.
to be eminently etiicaciouii in the moat obstinate cases, when even
the best of the usual remedies have failed to afford m ire than tern-
pirary relief, in rases of Flatulency, it is an immediate and inva
riable s{»ecifici and it may be adminisiered in diluted and pro-
pornonate quantities, even to young iniants, in all those paroiysms
of griping pain in the stoit>ach and bowels to which they are es
pecially subject, as well as in the colic of grown i>ersons.
Its judicious adoption in connection with the principal lueals, or
when a sense of exhaustion dictates its use, never fails to relieve
the debility attendant ujKin protracted chronic maladies, low tem
perament, and exhausted vitiil energy, by whatever cause induced
These are facts to which many of the most eminent medical men
both in Europe and the United States, have bo.-ne testimony, and
which are corroborated by their highest written authorities.
