JOSH BILLING'S PAPERS. The Hornet. The hornet i3 an inflama bel bugger, sudden in his impreshuns and hasty in hiz conclusions, or end. Hiz natral disposishun iz a warm cross be tween red pepper in the pod and fusil oil, and his moral bias iz, " git out of my way." They have a long, black body, divided in the middle by a waist spot, but their phisikal importance lays at me ierminn3 oi tneir suo burb, in the shape ov a javelin. This javelin iz ahvus loaded, and reddy to unload at a minuit's warning, and enters a man as still az thought, as spry az litening, and as full of melankolly as the toothake. Hornets never argy a case ; thev settle awl of their ditferences ov opinyon by letting their javelin fly, and are as certain to hit az j a mule iz. : . This testy critter lives in congregations numbering about 100 soul.-, but whether they are male or female, or conservative, or match ed in bonds ov wedlock, or whether they are .Mormons, ana a gooa many ct mem cling and a good together and keep one husband to save ex pense, I don't kno nor don't kare. I never have examined their habits much, I never konsidered it healthy. Hornets build their nests wherever they take a noshun to, and seldom are disturbed, for what would it profit a man tew kill 00 hornets and hav the 100th one hit him with hiz javelin ? Thev bild their nests ov paper, without annv windows to them or back doors. They hav but one place oy admission, and the nest iz the shape ov an overgrown pineapple, and is cut into just as many bedrooms as there iz hornets. It iz very simple to make a hornets nest if you kan, but I will wager enny man 300 dol larshe kant bild one? that he could sell to a hornet for half price. " Hornets are as bizzy as their second couz ins, the bee, but what they are about the Lord only knows ; but they don't lay up en ny honey, or enny money ; they seem to be bizzy only jist for the sake ov working all the time ; they are alwus in as much ov a hurry as tho they wuz going for dekter. I suppose this uneasy world would grind around on its axle-tree onst in 24 hours, even ef thare want enny . hornets, but hornets must be good for sumthing, but I can't think now what it iz. ' Thare haint been a bug made yet in vain, nor one that want a good job ; thare is ever lots of human men loafing around blacksmith shops, and cider mills all over the country, that don't seem to be necessary for anything but to beg plug tobacco and swear, and steal water melons, but yu let cholera break out once, and then yu will see the wisdom of hav ing jist sich men laying around ; they help count. Next tew the cockroach, who stands tew the head, the hornet haz got the most waste stummuk, in reference tew the rest of hiz boddy, than any of the insek populashun, and here iz another mystery : what on 'arth duz a hornet want so much reserved corps for ? 1 hav jist thought tew carry his javenn in ; thus yu see, the more we diskover about things the more we are apt to know. It iz always a good purchase tew pay out our last surviving dollar for wisdum, and wisdum is like the misterious hen's egg ; it aint laid in youre hand, but iz laid away un der the barn, and you have got to search for it. The hornet iz an unsoshall kuss, he iz more haughty than he is proud, he is a thorough bred bug, but his breeding and refinement has made him like sura other folk.s I know ov, dissatisfied with him and every boddy else ; too much good breeding ackts this way sometiines Hornets are long lived I kant state jist c how long their hve3 are, but I know from instinkt and observashen that enny krittur, be he bug or be he devil, who iz mad all the time, ana snngs every gooa cuance ne kan git, generally outlives all his nbers. The only good way tew git at the exact riteing weight ot the hornet is tew tutch him, let him hit you once with his lavelin, and you will be willing to testify in court that somebody run a one-tined pitchfork into yer : ana as lor grit I will state lor the iniorma shun of thoze who haven't had a chance tew lay in their vermin wisdom az freely az i hav that one single hornet, who feels well, wil brake up a large camp-meeting. What the hornets do for amuzement is an other question i kant answer, but sum ov the best read, and heavyest thinkers amonjj the naturalists say they have target exkursions and heave- their javelins at a mark ; but I don't imbibe this assershun raw, for i never knu-enny body so bitter at heart as the hor nets are to waste a blow. Thare iz one thing that a hornet duz thati will give him credit for on my books he al wuz attends tow hiz own bizziness, and won't allow any body else tew tend tew it, and what he dnz iz alwuz a ! good job; you never see them altering enny thing; if they make enny mistake, it iz after dark, and ain't seen: If the hornets made half az menny blun ders az the men do, even with their javelins, every body would lariat them. Hornets are clear in another way, they hav found out bi trying it that all they can git in this world, and brag on, iz their vittles and clothes, and yu never see one standing on the corner ov a street with a twentv-.-ix inch face on, bekause sum band had run oph and took their money with him. In ending of this essa, I will cum tew a stop by concluding, that if hornets was a little more pensive, and not so darned peremptory with their javelins, they might be guilty of less wisdom, but more charity. If you plow down your weeds before they go to seed they will prove a benefit to your land instead of a curse. If they are allowed to o to seed they will be a source of endless trouble Plowed under, they are worth as much a ! dressing of manure. -Beside enrirthliio-iko c;i they tend to keep it loose. If you add from twenty-five to fifty bushels of lime per acre to ; the ground,, and harrow it in, it will convert your weeas into plant tood. A NOTED PUGILIST SHOT. About four o'clock yesterday afternoon, Johnny McGlade, the pugilist, was shot by a joung man named John Leonard, and a few minutes later die 1 from the effect of the wound. The shooting took place in the Fashion faloon of this city, and the weapon used was a com mon Derincr pistol. But one shot was fired, the ball taking effect in the abdomen of its vic- tim atout two inches to the right and above the navel. The circumstances connected wi the fatal affair, so far as we have ben able to glean them from persons in the saloon at the time, are about as follows: A short time, say twenty five or thirty minutes, prior to the shoot- inp, McGlade assaulted Leonard with a 4,billy," u , . i t i: : j,suju as is auiueiiu-fs ucu uv nuiiciiien, la flictin on the left cheek bone near the eje, and also another ab.mt the forehead. During this al tercation Leonard, we believe, wa; twice knock ed down, or at least once, and hi attempting to j ri&c received a second blow. All those present with whom we conversed concerning the affair agree in saying inst the assault was in every way unprovoked on the part of Leonard. In aeea n appears mat ucuude acted under a misapprehension of facts from the beginning. At about 10 o'clock in the morning he passed through the club room in the rear of the sa loon, where Leonard and some friends were sitting, laughing and talking. Just at the mo ment that McGlade entered the room it ap pears that the crowd indulged in hearty laugh. For some reason McGlade thought they wcTe havir g fun at his expense, and immediately took Leonard to account. Those present join ed with Leouord in endeavoring to disabuse his mind in regard to the matter ; but as the sequel proves, without success. On several occasions during the next few hour he made frequent allusions to the affair, manifesting the meanwhile much ill feeling toward Leonard. It appears that he attempted to procure a pis tol, but failing in this, he took from a friend the " billy," which he shortly afterward used in making the" assault already referred to. It is but justice to say that McGlade would have inflicted still further injuries on Leonard after he was down, but for the timely interference of outside parties. As soon as Leonard had partially recovered he staggered out of the sa loon, but shortly after returned with a pistol. Meeting Mculade about tne ceutre of the sa loon, he approached him, made some remarks not understood by any of those who were pre sent, and instantly fired the fatal shot. Mc Glade exclaimed, ' My God, I am killed !" or words to that effect, and moving out toward the front door of the saloon, rested upon a friend, to whom he rcuiariced, " My goose is cooked ! I am a dead man !" He was quickly conveyed to a room over the silver brick saloon where, fit teen minutes later he breathed his ast. Meantime a surgeon was summoned, but already stated, his services were of no avail. m mediately after the shooting Leonard ran down to the station house and gave himself up to Marshal O Iveete, in "whose c us tod ay he still remained last night. He has the appearance of being a mere boy and from all accounts has heretofore been quiet and peaceably disposed. We believe he formerly lived in Sacramento city, where some ot his relatives stilt reside. McGlade was an Irishman by birth' aged aboat thirty seven years, and widely known through out the United States as a prominent member of the P. 11. having fought twenty-four battles. Coroner Henley held an inquest on the re mains, and the jury, composed of Charles S. Bulkley K. McAlpin, A. M. Ellsworth, W. P. Taylor, J. II. Von Schmidt, Ww. U. Keith and Alexander Stringer, returned a verdict in accordance with the above stated facts. While Pine Island Empire, Scpt.12. THE USES OF SALT. A hot salt bath is one of the most powerful tonics wmcn can be employed in the various. rkin diseases 60 prevaleut in newcountries, and for persons ot delicate constitutions, ho find themselves at the bottom rouud of the ladder oi neaitn. If j"U think you cannot afford tima for a bath, take a crtsh towel ring' it out of strong brine, let it dry, and when you get out of bed in the morning rub yourself from ton to toe till the skin is in a glow. ,It will not take more than tLree miuutts of your time, and you will feel the good ot it all day. For congestion of the lmgs,a napkin wrung out of hot brine and laid over the chest, change ing as soon as cool, will give great relief. In cases of bleeding of the lungs or stomach, dry salt, swallowed in small quantities,, will at least a rest the flow of blood until other measuics can be taken for relief. For a sprained ankle or wrist, make a ba and fill it partly with salt,' : quilt it several times acrws to hold the salt iu place, bind it upon the ailected part, and kep it saturated with stroug hot vinegar. For in flamation of the boweU, nothing can be better for an outward application than to take the yolks of six eggs, stir in salt sufficient to make a poultice, spread it upon a piece of linen, or cotton, and apply to the part. It will be moist and consequently keep cool for twenty four hours. There are those who discard the use of salt for anv ordinarr mimo.-1. and of Course if there j j j - , - - - - , are any such who read this artic.e, they will ; be greatly pleased to see it clashed among drugs ! and used only as a memcirje. IJut we by no means wish to be understood as joining in the raid against the use of salt in food. We make use of it in almost every thing we cook,' and think some dishes are unfit to eat if it be waut- ing. e cculd doubtless accustom ourselves tO( its disuse, as to other disagreeable things, could we be convinced of the sense of it. But it seems to us when we see a cow lick the end of a salt barrel until the skin is worn off of her tongue, and the blood dripa from the corners of her mouth, that there is a pretty strong in dication of a natural taste for salt. May be humrin animals doa't have such a taste natur- a! ally, but somehow they acquire it easily. csUrn Kxiral. Mr3.

If some hay is placed in a glass of pure rain water, and allowed to soak for a few days ia a sunny place, and if then be removed, the water will be found, under a microscope, to coattin many small moving tbiag?, which are called in fusoria, from their being produced after infus ing the hay. The egg which were on the hay bred three myriads ot small things, which of ten have a very beautiful coat of transparent flint or silicia. If the water is kept clean ; and tis not allowed to decompose or smell, generation of the infusoria live, die, and fall to the bottom of the irlass They form a delicate Man there. and minute portions of it, when examined un der a hi-jh magnifying power, show the silici- -ous skeletons of shells very distinctly. Now ruary strata in the earth are formed entirety of the remains of isfusoria, and a very familurex ample is the Tripoli powder, from the polishing Flate of Bilin in Bohemia. A single grain of Tripoli powder contains co fewer than 1S7,- 000,000 of the transparent flinty skeletons of j i r.. - -.... aeaa animacuies ; yet the layer ti eatb,wh;cr are maIe up cf them at Bilin, extend lor Ct. In the hsrbor of Wigcnar iu the Baltic tbey increase and multiply at a great rate, for 17,-40G cubic feet of mud are formed every year there, and every grain of it contains 1,000,000,000 of the beautiful solicious remains of the infmoria. In the inland of Barbadocj there is a thick mass of the most beautiful flinty sea aoimacules, and they are in such numbers that it must be sup posed the dead minute thing3 were constantly falling in showers from the sea to the bottom. o : TUB COUNTER-REVOLUTION IN SPAIN. Our news from Spain, gays the New York Herald Las really become alarming. The out break in Catalonia in two different provinces convinces us ot two things first, that the peo ple are not with the government, and, second, that in the south of Spain at least the popular sentiment is republicau. If anything were needed to convince us that the situation is cri tical, we should find that one thing in the jeal- Lousy which now exists tetweco the gov;rninnt and the volunteers. The volunteers were coax ed and made much of so long as they were o:i the government side. Now, however, that thiy are known to be opposed to the government, they arc being disarmed. The volunteers be long to the people. So long as the people were with the government it could count upon the volunteers. It is safe to conclude that the pre sent movement w at once popular and republic can. A grand republican demonstration is ar ranged for to morrow in Madrid The news of that day will be anxiously awaited. Mem while the great trouble lj that Spain is not uni ted on any policy. It is a hotbed of division and strife The south is generally republican. The great cities are liberal, but go for a strong government. A large portion of the rural dis tricts, including the Basque Provinces and a marjority of the clergy, is CarlisL Nor can e deny that in parts.of Spam Isabella has her. partisans. If revolution breaks out the imme diate result wil be a scramble, and the pre sumption is that Spain will become a pray to consuming anarchy. o COMPROMISING SPIRIT. Yesterday a sable Adonis, named Edward Chandler, was up a3 a witness in a case of as sault and battery. Tho pufrilists were two females of the same etxn hue of Edward him self, and a little inquiry into the cause of the disturbance soon revealed the fact that thev both claimed the dusky Lothario a3 their husband. Both asserted that they were law fully married to him, and the severest cross- examination failed to disclose any flaw in tho statements of either : " Why, you rascal, yon must be a bigamist!" said the Judge, turning wrathfully towards Edward. - "Sari" . " You've married both these women ? . Yes, sar, but day need'nt fight 'bout it, dough?" " Don't you know thi3 is a criminal offence of yours?-' " Sar, replied Edward, the white3 of his eyes enlarging, and looking earnestly into tho Judge's face. " I'll have to have you arrested for biga my." "Datso?" " Yes." " Den don't say no mo about it, and I'll live wid 'eta bof' rejoined the complacent Edward, adjusting his hat and walking leis urely from the court room. JV1 O. Pic. o A Singular Cabbage. Mr. O.

It prod ne ed a large quantity of seed, which ripened and were gathered ; but instead of the old sfalk decaying, after producing the crop cf seed, as is usual in such case., young buds ma le their appearance between the old limbs, to the number of thirty-seven, which grew to a good size, headed rjp, as other cabbages do. ! and thus yielded to the family several dishes oi nne white cabbage, borne oi these hearts ' grew near tho old stalk, while others had stem3 six or seven inches long ; some of tho lie id? grew erect while othera hung with the bad? toward the ground.

It can be bought in large lumps weighing from ten to twenty pounds. In this shape it does not dissolre - rapidly, and the cattle can get a lick whenever they wish. . It is also an economical way of salting stock, o Some of the English economist - think that nothing is wanted in England but cotton. But the London Times says that the loss of trade comes from the protective policy" of other countria.?. That is, thanks to our tariff, English manufacturers do not control the American market as they did. We make more and sell more and earn more. " ' . V.I
