We make the following nzlraet from 0 powerful

of Mississipp, to his constituents;
'IJv this conatiiu'ioa the right to decide upon
a quest ion of national politics is w rested from
the ci'izens wrested from all the Slate and sub
ordinate councils, and vested in the 'national conn
oil . Ldie the usurping Pope Gregory YIF, they
claim both temporal and spiritual power over their
subjects. The Pope was papi-t ; ihe 'council' is j
deistical. The Pone persecuted Protestants as 1
heretics; the council nerseeutes tvitholics as here-
tic. The Pone professed the religion of Christ;

0.;e vt Ui great prer-qui-ites tat ike successful
trainitig ol'chil Jren, at home or in the scheol-room,
js PaUence. Every teacher, whether the mother
or an hireling, will' find her labors made easy by
tb constant exercise of this cardinal virtue. If
ihy 'let pitieuce hie its per feet work' in lhcr
hearts tt will be vj,ible in all ;heir conduct
; and eycrl a salutary influence upon the minds ol
j the young, in whose future well beinetbey leel a
ami harsh tones deter ih-m from seeking our sym
palby or giving u their confidence. Tin mbthef
or teacher should regard the sports of childhood as
a blessing, j in in their innoeent amusements, and
draw from thecre some u-e'ul lesson for their fu
ture consideration. They should learn to look, up
10 her as n friend in whom th-v can confide, who
will hear patiently with their childish follies, and
in kindness seek to improve whatever may be
tmis in iht ir manners or morals.
H i' should ihey turn a deaf ear to her fpach
ings, i'ti.i scorsi her instructions, seeming inclined
loliow 1 he evil promptings of sinful and pprverse
heart, she has then need of a double portion of pa
lieuce to support her in this great trial, and enable
In r at least to overcome evils with good, and
hrtng them, by the force of precept and example,
to walk iti wisdom's pleasant ways. He kind, be
lirtn and patient, and hope on till the desired result
is obtained.1
Ha: there is another point of home manners,
well discussed in a passing periodical :
Husband Politeness: 'low seldom do we meet
other is at all what it oueht to be. All the for-
maiity assumed in company does vile the disres
' pectful, almost contemptuous, familiarty of more
private life. We have seen many men who would
throw away cigus at the approach of a strange
lady, but who would never hesitate one moment
j lu make '.heir wife's sitting room smell like a bar

H if ITU IT A' ails - .Mr. Se wall
Lom ion, Ut., is sboui introducing
on the feet tit a considerable number of stage-horses
in this city a new style of horse shoo lately inven
ted by him, and which has now been some three
months in experiment, both in city and country,
with the b"s; results. The object is to avoid th;
necessity of driving nails in the hoofs of the ani
mal, a practice always more or less objectionable,
and only submitted to from imperious necessity,
and winch frequently, from misplacing a nail, or
splitting a hoof, renders a horse useless, at least
for a lime. The invention meets with the highest
favor from the jockeying profession one ex
perienced stage-driver enthusiastically affirming
that it would immediately increase ihe value of
horses one-third. By the census of 1850 there
were five millions of horses in the United Slates, '
and assuming them to be worth on an average
about 03 apiece, the credit to which ihe inventor
is entitled becomes measureable in dollars !o the
tune of about 100 millions for each generation of
horses,
M:. Short h not tha first who has attempted to
clamp the shoe to the foot without nails, but is the
firs! to do it in ihis simple and effective manner.
He makes the whole in two pieces, employing, in
addition, two small screws o aid in screwing ihe
p trts together. Bo'h are made of malleable iron ;
the lower portion, or "sole," being very similar to
'he horse-shoe ordinarilv emoinvH hot uhh m
. groove around Us exterior, and without nail-hob s.
The upper portion, or "vamp," is thin, and has a
' flange proj cting inward Irom Us lower edge, to
: match the groove in the sole. These pans are so
j irr inged as to secure a tight and firm connection,
and the whole made additionally secure hy the
! aid of th- set-screws before mentioned at the heel.
I A shoe ol tii.-j kind once fined, the vamp may be
; made lo wear out a great number of soles. The
ex'erior may be highly finished and plated with
j silver, which gives a very flashy appearance to u
team oi lively norscs, or the shoes may be enam
el, d jet black when intended for white or gray
animals. One practicd advantage to b" derived
Irom this style of shoes is the facility with which
tnev may be removed or exchanged. thm
skillul hostler may exchange the shoes, or rather
rest. New York Tribune
