remiwon of General Jackson's fine, the recep-
tion of abolition petitions, and the cranizat on
of a territorial government for Oregon. In
1844, he was chairman of the committee ou
territories. A f.er his retirement from Congress
in 1845, he was elected Governor of Tennessee.
In 1847. he was renominated for that omcr.
but was defeated by a small majority. In 1848,
he was a candidate for elector for the state at
large, on the Cass and Butler ticket, but
Tennessee voted for Taylor. In 1S50, Govern
or Brown was a member of the famous Southern
convention held at Nashville, but his course
was conservative. He opposed secesssion, and
contended that a disolution of the Union would
be no remedy for alleged grievances. From
the time of that convention until his appoint
ment as Postmaster General in Mr Buchanan's
Administration, we beleive Gov. Brown took
ne prominent part in public life, except as a
delegate from Tennessee in the Baltimore. con
vention, which nominated Gen. Pierce for the
Presidency.
Governor Brown was a plain, shrewd, com
mon sense ma i, applied closely to the business
of the post office department, and was person
ally much esteemed Ly those who knew him.
Eating Dirt Practically. Humboldt, a
man whose word justly carries with it European
f.itaV the Utiumavs of (South America, during
the "periods of the floods,sfitsist entirely oir a
fat and ferruginous kind of clay, of whicu each
man eats daily a pound or more. Spix and
Martnis declare that the Indians of the Ama
zon eat a kind of loam even when other food is
abundant. Molina says the Peruvians frequen
tly eat a sweet-smelling clay ; and Ehrcuberg
has analysed the edible clay sold in the mar
kets of Bolivia, which he fiuds to be a mixture
of talc and mica. The inhabi'a'its of Guiana
mingle clay with their bread ; aud the negroes
of Jamaica are said to eat earth when other
food is deficient. According to Lambillardiere,
the inhabitants of New Caledonia appease their
hunger with a white friable earth, said by
Yauquelic to be composed of niagnecia, ailica,
oxyde of iron, and chalk. To conclude the list,
we must add Siam, Siberia, and Kamseliatka,
as countries of clay eaters. This is rather a
staggering accumulation of assertions, which
we cannot dismiss altogether, even if we sup
pose a large allowance of scepticism justifiable.
Granting the fact that certain kinds of earth
are really nutritious, (and it is difficult to es
cape snch a conclusion), we are completely at
a loss for an adequate explanation of it. Lit
tle light is thrown on it by the assumption,
probable enough, that the earth must contain
organic matter, because in a pound of snch
earth there could scarcely be contained sufficient
organic matter to supply the demands cfan a
dult. Nor will it get rid of this difficulty to
say that the earth only appeases hunger .without
nourishing the system, because, in the first
place, Humboldt's tcstinioey is, that the Ot
tomacs subsist on the clay at periods when
other food is deficient ; and, in the second place,
although the local sensation of hunger may be
appeased by introducing substances into the
stomach, the more imperious systemic sensation
of hunger is not thus to be appeased. We
must, therefore, be content at present with
accepting the fact, which the science of future
days may possibly explain.
BlacJcwrod
Hard lo Kill. Thomas S. Lowe, of Ken
tucky, who was recently killed by a mob at
llawesville, before commencing the fight, it
seems, put on a shirt or coat of mail. A spec
tator of the scene says that at least between
seventy-Gve and a hundred guns and pistols
were fired at Lowe, and that there were thirty
two bullets and buckshot holes through all
portions of his coat, but that not a solitary
ball or shot entered his body or even drew a
drop of blood. Heavily loaded guns were fired
at him at a distance of not more than six feet,
and he was repeatedly knocked down and
whirled around by the leaden missiles, yet no
wounds except contnsions were inflicted. The
ball which struck his thigh made a very serious
bruise but did not enter the skin. Said specta
tor also saw a strong man strike him four times
with abowie knife, but the point of the weapon
turned without penetrating.
Sensatiox in Gotham. The moral and phys
ical sensibilities of the community in the city of
New York, received a severe shock on Tuesday
first from the breaking op of an extensive
Free Love Palace, in Canal St., known as the
Widow Forrester's (in the proprietorship of
which, it is understood, a prominent member
of the Metropolitan police has a large interest)
and second, from a discovery of a scheme of
a German butcher, doing business in Fifty-sixth
street, to kill old horses, and sell their flesh for
meat ! Jacob Hilderbraner is his name. On
being brought to the station house, the wife of
the prisoner owned up that they had been in
the habit of making soup from the horse and
' found it very good."

Some objection was madenpon the argument
of this cause to the fon of the indictuieut, be
cause it is therein alleged that the amount of
the bills receivable hud been received by the
firm of Haskins, Heiskell & Co.; but in point
of law this was the fact, for the defendant was
the legal agent of the firm, and it was not until
the firm had thus received the funds that the
defendaut abstracted them bv means of this

are important to travelers, and are not as wide
ly known as could be desired :
It has been largely decided that applicants
for tickets on railroads can be ejected from the
cars if they do not offer the exact amount of
their fare. Conductors are not bound to make
change.
All railroad tickets are good until used, and
conditions "good for this day only," or other
wise limiting the time of genuineness, are of no
account.
Passengers who lose their tickets can be
ejected from the cars unless they purchase a
second one.
Passengers arc bound to observe decorum in
the cars, and are obliged to comply with all
reasonable demands to show tickets. Standing
upon the platlorm, or otherwise violating a rule
of the company, renders a person liable to be
put from the train.
No person has any right to monopolize more
seats than he has paid for, and any article left
in the seat, while the owner is temporarily ab
sent, entitles him to the place on his return.

A Giel's Word Better than the Bible.
The Warren (O.) Chronicle chronicles a funny
cise. A youthful pair, John and Susan, were
determined to get married. Parents refused
consent. The family record in the Bible said
Susan was not eighteen. Susan told John that
the" Bible was not true she was eighteen.
John believed Susan, and swore before the
Probate Clerk that Susan was eighteen. I lie
farther of Susan had Johu arrested for perjury.
Trial was had. Father and mother testtned
that Susan was not eighteen, and the mother
said that she was there when Susan was oorn,
and she knew all about it. It looked squally
for John. Penitentiary yawned for the victim.
Susan stepped up and testified that she told
John she was eighteen. Court discharged
John, and Susan jumped and kissed him before
the people.
When to Weak India Rubbers. We have,
says the Scientific American, noticed that
many persons wear India-rubber over-shoes in
cold, dry weather, to keep their feet warm.
This is an injudicious and evil practice. India
rubber shoes are very comfortable and con
venient "for covering the feet during wet and
sloppy weather, but they never should be worn
on any other occasion ; their sole use should
be to keep out the water. They should there
fore be taken off whenever the wearer enters
the house, and be worn as little as possible,
because they are air-tight, and restrain the
perspiration of the feet.- The air cannot be
excluded from them, or any portion of the
body, for any length of time, without sensibly
affecting the health. It is our opinion that no
habit tends more to good health than clean
feet, and clean, dry stockings, so as to allow
the free prespiratiou of the other extremities.

into the ladies' saloon several times, and was in

received a telegram from Erie stating that a
new-born babe had been found by the side of
the track about two miles east of Erie, and
describing the woman conductor Murray found

unnatural mother, and who, to hide her shame,
had attempted the destruction of her offspring
