A poor, shiftless, vagabondish fellow in the country came into the possession one .-tiring of two calves, lie ar ranged with a farmer to have them pastured during the summer at a given price. It was approaching winter, the call owner had paid nothing for tho summer mainten ance of his stock, nor had he niado the slighte.-t provision lor housing or feeding them through the win ter. I le hadn't a cent of money or anything like a shed for cattle, nor trusted to the inspiration of the mo ment when there was opportunity for studying up the subject and ar ranging his thoughts in advance. He had a habit of absenting himself from the Capitol for days at a time, every hour of which he devoted to reading and study, his acquaint ances generally, supposing him to be engaged in a debauch. After getting thoroughly crammed and armed at every point he would come into the House looking ex hausted and haggard, giving color to the notion that he had been on a frolic, and watching his opportuni ty, would pour forth the fruits of his study in a strain of off-hand, striking eloquence that hardly ever failed to astonish his hearers. And the remark waVftften heard, "What a brilliant mast What could he not accomplish K he was industri ous and regular in his habits! Mr. Preston, for some time Mr. Calhoun's colleague in the Senate, was an accomplished gentleman and a very .popular orator. He never spoke without commanding the at tention of his hearers, and few men in Congress had a higher reputation for brilliant extemporaneous elo quence. But he never spoke with out the most ample and careful preparation. Soon after he retired from Congress he was chosen presi dent of a college in South Carolina. In an address to the students, he said he knew of no such thing as genius or natural inspiration. What ever of reputation he had acquired was by dint of constant, untiring labor. lie had trusted to study and hard work solely. He never spoke in Congress or to a popular assem blage without arranging what he had to say, and even premeditating ! his sentences and the precise collo- cation of his words. And he assured his hearers that the, only road to public distinction lay through the field of study and research. Mr. Webster was so thoroughly instructed upon all subjects which came under discussion in Congress that he was equal to almost any occasion, and rarely needed any special preparation. And yet he was not above the- weakness of con cealing his studies, and the sources whence he drew his inspiration. No man better understood the weight and value of language than Mr. Webster, and what he said was always marked by precision and perspicuity ; but when coping with a formidable antagonist he omitted no means that promised to aid him in the contest. He was accustomed to speak of the master production of his life, his celebrated reply to Hayne, as a sort of casual effort made on the spur of the moment, without previous consideration. Probably the two men in public life who could most safely trust to their own resources and acquire ments, ' under all circumstances, were Mr. Adams and Mr. Calhoun. The endowments of Calhoun were of a higher order, and his creative power was superior to that of Mr. Adams; but the "old man elo- A telegram, giving the informa tion that Thos. A.

This arrange ment is but another evidence of the foresight and energy of this great railroad King. To the West ' this information hardly deserves a passing notice, but to the people of the South, who watch with interest the consolida tion of old and the formation of new through lines, it is of vast Impor tance. What the South wants is compe tition in railroads, quick transit, and cheap rates. Through lines will,' without doubt, bring about these results, and the line giving the greatest facilities will obtain the most satisfactory f returns for their stockholders. It is absolutely necessary for the sntjiessful man agement -of railroads that there should be some disrijuination in freights ; yet, at maTty competitive points, the rates pay little, if any thing, beyond the cost of transpor tation ; but that local points should be made to pay this loss is entirely wrong. Yet such is the case on many of our Southern roads. Any one who has traveled be tween Wilmington and New York From New York Teh gram. A Very Old Medicine.

He was sitting in the sun, and as the warmth seemed to relieve his acute pains, he bared his leg and leffcjf, p.ypnsed it. He says the rheumatism isal burned out, and he is entirely cured."

Seiled bids y ill 1 quent," as he was called, had a memory so tenacious, and his knowledge was so extensive and exact that he never seemed to need any special preparation. He was the most laborious and methodical man in Congress, arid probably in the country; he kept a voluminous diary, in which every event, inci dent, or circumstance of the day was carefully noted down ; and this, with his habits of industry, made him a very doctor in all matters of controversy and argument.. It was a knowledge of his complete equip ment and his power as an antago nist that prompted the reply of Mr. Clay, when asked when he purposed to renew the discussion with Mr. Adams on the vexed question of the fisheries of the Missisippi, as connected with the treaty of Ghent. 1 aiding himself getting the worst of the argument, Mr. Clay closed the consideration of the matter, so far as he was concerned, with the remark that he should drop the subject, hoping to renew it at some future period more favorable for calm discussion, when he expected to show that Mr. Adams was alto gether in the wrong. Some time afterward a friend asked him when he proposed to re-open the contro versy. "Never!" was his emphatic reply. "A man must be a born fool who voluntarily engages in a controversy with Mr. Adams on a question of fact. I doubt whether he ever was mistaken in his life. And then, if he happens to be in doubt about anything, he has his inevitable diary, in which he has recorded everything that has oc curred since the adoption of the Federal Constitution." annoyance of frequent changes of cars, and the length of time required to complete the journey. AH are aware of the completion of the Baltimore and Potomac liail road, and the building of a tunnel under the western section of Balti more, for the purpose of connecting the above road with the Northern Central road. This tunnel was completed last week, at a cost of millions of dollars, and many lives, and is one of the most extensive and substantial in the country. Mr. Scott, without the knowl edge of his rivals, has perfected ar rangements by which the cars can run from Washington to New York without passing over the old route the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore llailroacl although a greater distance, yet the time the same. That the reader may more clcr.rly understand the new route, we will give it as if we were leaving Wil mington this morning; arriving at Weldon this evening, and taking a comfortable sleeping car, we wake up in Baltimore to-morrow morn ing; passing through the tunnel we strike the Northern Central Road on the northern boundary of the city. This road has one of the best ballasted road-beds in the country, and passes through a country un equalled for its beautiful scenery ; on every side we see hills and meadows, factories and mills, villas and villages. At 10 a. m., we reach the flourishing town of York, Penn., here we leave the main line of the Northern Central, and pass over a branch road to Wrightsville, on the West bank of the Susquehannah, and the extreme point reached by the Confederate troops dusrtni tlie late war. We cross the river on a bridge a mile and a half in length, and see ahead of us Columbia, with its roll ing mills, furnaces and saw mills. Looking down this beautiful river we see its circuitous course ana its tall hills dipt in purple gloom, standing out boldly against the sky. Up the river we see the dim lines of Marietta with its tall furnace stacks, the smoke from wrhich hangs like a cloud over the town. Passing through Columbia we are on our way to Lancaster, and on the right, before entering the city, we see the tall trees of Wheatland, the late residence of Mr. Buchanan. At Lancaster we strike the main line of the Pennsylvania 11. R. From Lancaster to Philadelphia the coun try is very much like that through which we pass between Baltimore and New York, only perhaps, a higher state of cultivation may be noticed. L very where you look, you can see hills and valleys spotted with villages and farm houses, and a degree of prosperity unrivalled perhaps in the world. We arrive at Philadelphia at one fifteen and strike the old route through New Jersey to New York the scenery of which is in marked contrast with that we have just passed and arrive at four P. M. All that is now nec essary to make this route one of pleasure, is, for the companies in terested, to put on compartment cars from Wilmington to New York, and when this is done, the lasting praise of the traveler and tourist will be given to Tom Scott and his new connections. Well, it is simple enough, but it is by no means novel, the virtues of the sunlight being known to a great many people who look upon it as a mend instead ot an enemy. Physicians may seem not to take any special pains todisseminate the Knowledge, but there are wonder ful medicinal properties in the sun shine. It seems that the pale, un healthy growth of potato sprouts in the dark cellar, so often cited, should alone have been sufficient to teach the value of sunshine to the human system, but most people fail" to toddle aeross even this short held of reasoning. A great many of our Tashionaple young ladies seem never to have heard at all of such a thing as sunshine as a medicine. Some times, however, they are more sen sible. A certain lady of this city was in very poor health with rheu matism or something of that sort. Her physician was a sensible man, and more than that he saw he had fa sensible woman to deal with, and so he ordered sun baths, and she so arranged the upper part of her house that the sun could come mlreeiy, and she sat there hours at a time with the bare skin exposed to the direct rays of the sun. She was cured, and the physician brought in his bill just the same as if he had prescribed some unnatural, outland ish thing, and she paid it just as willingly as she would have paid for bucketsful of drugs. But with many patients no physician could take so sensible a course. Taking medicine is a positive disease with many people, and they speedily express a lack of confidence in their doctor unless he orders huge po tions. Hence the origin and abso lute necessity of bread pills. Bread pills, operating on the imagination, have effected wonderful cures. Coming back to the sunshine, we may remark that the experiments of "late years in hospitals have proved some wonderful things con cerning its curative powers. The wards lying in shadow are always so many per cent behind the wards which are permitted to drink in the sunshine. If we were in the mood we could make some application of the fact to the thousands of people in the crowded wards of our city, who burrow away from all sunlight : and a complete justification might also be found for tlje recent action of the health authorities in remov ing the cellar population. in an article fn rhqftaynrtnnh JVcici. when clerk to the Governor of Florida, assisted in paying annui ties to the Seminoles and Apaches, and dealing out for their pappooses such names as Washington, Jack son, Lafayette, Henry Clay, Daniel Webster, Metamora, Paul Pry, Zip Coon, Hail Columbia, Yankee Doodle, and others." The expla nation is as follows : "Indian names, which are often significant of some personal char acteristic, or some teat performed by those who wear them, are rarely conferred until the individual has passed the pappoose period. Thus in every tribe there is a large num ber of Indian youths without names. All the tribes with which United States Government holds treaty re lations, who have been swindled but of their lands from time to time and removed to new reservations, only" to be driven from them as the white settlements encroach and the- lands are wanted by squatters or speculators, have for years been in the habit of receiving bribes in the shape of annuities in money, which are divided pro rata among the chiefs and warriors. Under a liberal construction of the Indian treaties every male, if but a month old, is accounted a warrior, and his parent receives for him his part of the annuity. "In the payment ot annuities the Government, for the purpose of ob taining a census of the males of the tribe, requires that the agent and his clerks shall enter every war- name in duplicate books, which, with his cross mark affixed, is a receipt to the Government for the money which he receives. Thus, t will be seen, every 'warrior,7 if he is only a month old, must have a name to entitle him to the Gov ernment pittance. These nameless warriors Teceive names from the Indian agents, their assistants and clerks, who often tax their ingenu ity and expose their want of good taste in giving them unmeaning and ridiculous epithets names which mar the nomenclature of In dian tribes.

Apprehensions having been ex pressed by United States judicial officers in New York city that there would not be room enough in the new government building for judi cial offices, court-rooms, &c, the supervising architect, Mr. Mullett, having been notified, replied: " You may rest assured there will be ample room for the judges and every officer of the courts and of the judiciary, and for a law library and for record rooms. There will also be in addition a considerable amount of vacant space that will not be used for many years to come." - Mr. Mullett also says : " As an additional story has been authorized by Congress in consider ation of the increased demands of the Post Office Department, and as ample and spacious elevators will be provided for the building, I can not understand why there should be the slightest anxiety on the question."

Very Much in Earnest. A few days since a farmer in Madi son Township quarreled with his wife and left home. He returned in a short time and the quarrel was resumed, and continued to such an extent that he expressed a desire to be out of the world. His wife in timated that nothing would please her better, and offered to do her part if the rifle were only loaded. He went into the house, got the rifle and ammunition, and loaded it in the presence of his wife, but was very careful, when she was not looking, to slip the ball down his sleeve. After the gun had been capped, he handed it to her and went into the yard. She followed as far as the door, when she took deliberate aim and fired.

The girl is a good specimen of back woods Hoosier femininity, and is about eighteen years of age. I Im story is aboutlhis: She was in the country, abdut twelve miles below Vincennes, and at a point about midway between the E. and C. and O. and M; Railroad, where she was born and raised. Last Friday morn ing she; was sewing, when she re ceived a message, from the Lord, iu the shape of an order to go to Evahs ville, whither she immediately started; accompanied by a little dog, but having no other clothing than that which she wore. -The first day she walked twenty-two miles', the second eighteen, and tho third day nine miles, sleeping at night in the woods. . When near Stringtown she heard that the cholera was raging in Evansvillc, and she started to'tnrn back, but accidentally strayed into a road which led her to the eastern part of the city. A kind family in -that part of the city showed coin- Eassion for the poor girl and took er in. When asked what she could do, she said she could "plow and hoe corn." The lady, after a good trial, has found her to be a very valuable and industrious servant, being an excellent cook and a good washer and ironer.
