A Waterfall. A mortifying, but ludicrous incident, says the Cinciunati Enquirer, occurred on Satiiday, on Fourth s;reet, near the Post OtTice. A lady of -most expen sive exterior was gliding gracefully up the street, when the networks contain ing the bunch of hair at the tack of the head became, in some way, de tached, and shocking to relate, fell to the ground, carrying along its hirsute contents, which we believe is known in fashionable parlance as the "water fall." The lady, who immediately became conscious of the catastrophe, pauaed, blushed through the powder, etc., and was in the act of stooping to recover her headgear, when an un mannerly dog, of the Scotch terrier species, mistaking it probably for a rat, pounced upon it, seized it between his teeth, and commenced shaking the queer-looking article with a vemhe mence that must have placed his own neck in danger of dislocation. The whole proceeding was so irresistibly comical, that it excited the merriment of the bystanders, who indulged in an ungallant choral guffaw, as the abashed fair one beat a hasty retreat to the op posite corner, leaving her "waterfall a prize to the pestifierous raiterri- er. m m gsSA Washington corresponden of the Philadelphia Inquirer mentions a report that last week a bill was pre sented to the Treasury Department for five hundre l and fifty doIars for dam ages alledged to have been done sheets, pillow-cases and carpets, and for the hire of servants ;tt the house on Tenth street opposite Ford's Theatre, in which President Lincoln died. This is to compensate for the occupation of the premises about ten hours by distin guished officials on the unfortunate oc casion. The house was afterwards opened to visitors at fifty cents a head and more than enough to cover all ex penses must have been realized from this source. The chances of the bill passing the Auditor are not very flat tering. The following is said to be a sure cure for the neuralgia ; Take. 2 large table-spoonfuls cf cologne, 2 ta ble-spoonfuls of fine salt, mix them to gether ia a small bottle; every lime you have any acute affection of the nerve or neuralgia, simply breathe the fumes in your nose from the bottle, and you will be immediately relieved j5rA colored barber, in Lexing ton, Ky., proposes to build a new meet ing-house for his Church (Methodist) at a cost of 4,000, if the other breth ren will lath and plaster it, and put on the finishing touches. Perhaps he is as well qualified to vote as a brutal and besotted poor white, who never saw a spelling book, and knows as little ef the Bible as of the mountains in the moon. r"A young lady of Cincinnati, just returned from Uucope, states as a positive fact, that an aristocratic Eng lishman inquired of her, if Cincinnati was a slave State ! is said that a gill of melted lard poured down the throat of a sheep, poisoned by eating laurel, is a certain cure. - THE CONSTITUTION ADOPTED- All controversy touching the adop tion of the New Constitution is finally settled, and we have the gratification this morning of announcing its accept ance bya majority of lhe legal voters of 'he State. The vote as officially returned to the office of the Secretary cf Slate, was counted yesterday by the Secreta ry, in presence of the Governor and Attorney General. The result of the counting showed Forty -Three Thon- sand. Six Hundred and Seventy votes for the Constitution, and Forty One Thousand Eight Hundred and Eight against it, leaving an affirmative major ity of One Thousand Eight Hundred and Sixty-Two. This majority is something less than we had been led to expect, and much less than it should have been, consid ering the vital interest involved in the issue, but small as it is the same result is accomplished as if it had been so many thousands. A majority of one would have made it the fundamental law of Missouri, and claimed for it all that respect and obedience which good citizens would accord to laws unani mously enacted. The New Constitu tion is the law of Missouri to day, and as such it is entitled to due regard. Should there be any so foolish or so wicked as to at tempt to nullify this law by an obstinate disregard of it, or by open defiance, it is well that they be warned of the punishment that awaits them before they commit the offence. The officers of the law throughout the State stand ready to do their duty, and in the discharge of it they will have the earnest and active support of the loyal citizens. It is the law of the State duly enacted in spite cf an ava lanche of illegal voters, and it will be obeyed and respected. This Constitution brings to Missou ri a new era, a new life, and a new and glorious destiny. Freedom is un alterably secured. Never more will the foot of bondmen press the soil of Miascuri. Within the boundaries of this State the shackles of slavery are forever broken, and the bondman may look up to Heaven, in thankful adora tion for his deliverance, aud sing the songs of freedom's jubilee with none to molest or make him afraid. Tlx,e new era is anchored securely in the fundamental law, to be removed not again until mankind shall lapse into ignorance and barbarism. But not alone in the Freedom it bring- to the enslaved is the New Constitution a welcome visitor to Missouri. It brings the crowning vic tory to the strggles of her loyal patriots, and places securely in her hands her management and destiny. It is alike welcome to the hero who has breasted the btorm of battle, and endured the peril of the march and the camp, and the patriot who has struggled with the turbulent element of treason at home. To both it is a fitting reward for their labors and their! sacrifices. Henceforth, Missouri is theirs; they have fought for her: they saved her from the maelstrom of secession; they kept her true to National allegiance, and now having erected a barrier to the dan gerous rule of traitors, they have the right to enjoy the fruits of their hard earned victory. St. Joe. Union. A Bld Robbery. A few nights since as a couple of negro boys were going home, about 10 o'clock at night, while crossing tha bridge in the rear of lhe Commercial House, two men, arm ed with revolvers, 6teped out and grab bed them and demanded "their money or their life.-" Not being prepared to quit this world they forked over all they had, $4 75, where upon the robbers told them to run, and the boys taking the advice made good time home. This was a bold robbery, and tha perpetraters should be ferreted out. St. Joe. Union. ----tr JgS-After quoting John Locke, that a blind man took his idea of scarlet from the sound of a trumpet, a witty fellow says that a hoop skirt hanging out of a shop door, reminds him of the peel of a belle !

Among the countless curiosities on exhibition at the great Sanitary Fair at Chicago are the following, culled from a meagre list in the Journals : A slave-driver's iash, slave mana cles, a secesh shoe, and several rebel pistols. The muster-roll ef Company F, of JefT Davis' Legioii." A sign taken from over a slave mart at Charleston, and the steps leading to the auction block in the same. The John Brown relics, consisting of the ox-yoke made by him, his carbine, used by him at Harper's Ferry, and one of the pikes made for him in Con necticut. '' A slace-collar, manacles found in the jail yard at Richmond, balls and chains for slave use, and canteens from Libby Prison relics of a barbarism beyond that of the aborigines. Slave "paddles," straps and whips. Rebel shoes found at Richmond extremely unique and others in South Carolina. The bell used on JelT Davis' planta tion to call his slaves together. Manacles and chains from Castle Thunder. A Wife in trouble. Pray tell me, my dear, what is the cause of those tears? "Oh such a disgrace!" "What is it, my dear?" "Dont keep me in suspense '. "O" I have opened one of your lit ters, supposing it to be addressed to myself. Certainly it looked more like Mrs, than Mr. "Is that all? What harm can there be in a wife opening her husband's letters ? "No harm in the thing itself, but the contents, buch a disgrace ! "Who has dared to write me a letter unfit to be read t.y my wife ?" "Oh" no, it is couched in the most chaste and beautiful language. But the contents ! the contents !" Here the wife hurried her hands in her handkerchief and commenced sob bing aloud while her husband eagerly caught up the letter and commenced the epistle that had nearly broken his wife's heart. It was a bill from the printer for three years subscription to our favorite newspaper. JgSfDan Mavble was once strolling along the wharves in Boston, when he met a tall gaunt-figure, a "digger" from California, and got into conversa tion with him. "Healthy climate, I suppose?" "Healthy?" it aint anything else, why stranger, there you can choose any climate you like, hot or cold, and that without traveling more than fif teen minutes. ' Just think the next cold morning when j'ou get out of bed. There's a mountain there, with a valley on each side of it, the one hot, and the other cold. Well, get on the top of the mountain with a double barrelled gun, and you can, without moving, kill either summer or winter game, just as you will?" "What, have you ever tried it?" "Tried it ! of:en ; and should have done pretty well, but for one thing." "I wanted a dog that would stand both climates. The last dog I. had froze off his tail while pintin on the summer side. He didn't get entirely out of the winter side, you see trew as you live." Marble shoped. jfS"The foUowing is the verdict of a negro jury: "We, de undersigned, bein' a Koroner's jury to sit on de hody ob de nigger Sambo, now done dead and gone afore us, hab been sittin' on de said nigger aforesaid, and find dat de same did, oa de night ob de four teenth ob Now ember, come todef by fallin' from de bridge ober de riber in de said riber, and brokin' his neck, where we find he was subsequently drown, and afterward washed to de riber side, whar we suppose he was frose to def." ; gA woman from the country, wishing to engage the services of a cabman, addressed him as follows: "Pray, sir, are you engaged ?" "Och, bless yer sowl, ma am! I've been married this seven years, and have eight children !" gfAt a pic-nic at Albany, recent ly, two wooden-legged men ran a race lieautiful Experiments. Fill a wide-mouthed glass jar with water and cover it over with a piece of "foundation," (the ladies will under stand this,) cover that over with a layer of peas, pressing it down so that the peas will lay in the water. They will then swell and sprout; the roots growing down into the water, their fine fibres presenting a beautiful ap pearance. Set this in a window, and vines will grow up, which can be con ducted to the sill. The whole is very handsome. The following we clip from a news-, paper : "If an acorn be suspended by a piece of thread to within half an inch of some water, contained in a hyacinth glass, and so permitted to remain without being disturbed, it will in a few months burst and throw a root into the water, and shoot upward its taper ing stem, with beautiful little green leaves. A young oak tree growing this way on the mantle-shelf of a room is a very interesting object." Starching Bosoms and Collars. A "Jersey Farmer's Daughter" sends to the Jlgriculturist the follow ing directions : "Pour a pint of boiling water upon two ounces of gum arabic, cover it and let it stand over night, in the morning pour it carefully from the dregs into a clean bottle, cork it, and keep it for future use. A table-spoonful of this gum arabic water stirred into a pint of starch made in the usual manner, will give to lawns, either white or printed, a look of newness, when nothing else can restore them after they have been washed. To every pint of starch, add a piece of butter, lard, tallow or sper maceti candle the size of a chesnut. A number of idle persons were sit ting in a country store, the other day; one suddenly asked the company: "What is the difference between the Chivalry of the Middle Ages and that of tha present day?" Mr. Thompkins replied: "The one was medieval and the other is wholly evil." "Bah!" exclaimed John Jones, Esq ; "don't be a fool, Tompkins I'll tell you; one wore a coat of mail, the other a coat of female!" A geatleman, formerly a resident of this place, now a soldier at Mobile, being at the Episcopal Church one Sabbath, where the prayer for the President of the United States was omitted, concluded to pay 'em for the unpatriotic slight in their own coin, and so when the conlriution box was passed, put in a S-5 confederate bill. That was certainly paying literally in their own coin. The whole rebellion is a "pie of their own baking;" make 'em eat it. Oskaloosa Herald. BSgVolk, the celebrated Western sculptor, has loaned to the Chicago Fair two suits of clothing, one of which was worn by Abraham Lincoln, and the other by Stephen A. Douglas, du ring the memorable campaign in which these departed statesmen "stumped" the West in opposition to each other. Volk received the suits from the wear ers themselves, to aid him in making statues of each. JSSyWe heard an old gentleman re mark, recently, that there was never a slave trader hanged in this country, until a Republican Administration did it; and he might have said that a. Re publican Administration will hang the first traitor. EfSIt is stated that a gentleman of Philadelphia, whose keen sense of pro priety will be excused by all loyal men, suggests that sympathizing uecession ists up North should wear petticoats thirty days in honor of Jefferson Da vis! JSSTAa artist in this city painted a dog so naturally, that the animal had the hydraphobia during the hot Wea ther. He's the same man who painted a copy of a beer bottle with such skill, that the cork flew out just as he was finishing it. 3SA young lady in Nevada went to a pic-nic, and on being asked what a pic-nic was, she replied, "It's going out into the hills and getting your dress all dirty, and breaking your parasol." A plain, practical definition. Salting Hay. A correspondent of tha Country tiemle- man says: Much has been said about salting hay, by different writers, and many think hay is as well and even better without 6alt. We have not put a lock of hay in our barns for somo twenty years without applying six quarts of salt to each ton of hay, which is about the amount requir ed by stock in the consumption of a ton of hay. The result has always been, that our hay was bright and fragrant as tea, and never had a look of musty hay. During haying last year, our hay was cut, cured, and got into the barn without, a drop of rain oa it, and though in such good condition we could omit tho salt, and so we did, and what was the result? Well, we have not used a lock of hay in the barns but what is more or less musty. For twenty years we salted our hay and had the best of hay; and one year we omitted the salt, and had the poorest hay. Ilenco the above remarks are not predi cated on one year's experience. Hay Season If our readers will look over our ad vertisements they will see all eorts of Mowers and reapers advertised for sale. Now is the time to purchase, or other wise make your arrnngments for cutting hay. There are indications of good corn, and farmers will do well "to take time by the forelock," and make early pre parations for haying. The day is past, gone forever, when hay can be profitably cut by the hand scythe and gathered by the hand-rake One of two things must be dono by our farmers; they must either hare a Mower of their own, or do pend on their neighbors to cut their grass. If tha expense of a Mower is too great to be incurred by an individual, sev eral neighbors must unite their means and divide the expense. It is not well to leave the matter to change of future con tingencies. Hay that ia gathered early is better for all kinds of stock, than that gathered late. It is more nutritious and cattle will eat it with better appetites. July and August are the best months for haying. They will be upon us before wo think. The sooner, therefore, arrange ments are made for cutting hay, the bet ter it will be forall concerned. Kansas Farmer. Tlie Way to Build n Stack There is much more science involved in building a stack of either hay, looso grain, or bundles, in a correct manner, than there is in erecting a pyramid that will stand tho test of wasting aud raging elements of time and changing weather. The main point is to build a stack so as to turn all the rain off tho stack, in stead of turning it towards the middle of the stack, where it would produce more or less damage. Beginners will almost always com mence at the circumference or outside of he stack, instead of commenceing in the middle. Whether a stack is to be made of bundles or loose material, it should always be commenced in the middle. And the middle should always be kept fullest from one to two feet higher than the outside, and well pressed down. The middle should always be trod down more closely than the outside, so that when the stack comes to settle, the out side will settle mora than the middle, and thus tend to give a good inclination to the straw on the outsid?, and will carry off the water rapidly. It is better to make round stacks than those having square corners, because such square corners will never settle down evenly with the sides; and they will not carry off the rain as well as if the top were round. As soon as a stack is puilt as high as the blige, care must be exercised to givo more inclanation to the sheaves, by keep ing the middle fuller; and tile 6heaves must be crowded as closely together as they can be, to keep the water from fall ing down on to the course of sheaves be low. When stacks are built of looso materi als, the stacker should be careful to place as many of the straight bunches of straw up and down the stack on the out er oourse, a9 he can conveniently. These long straws will turn off the water almost as well as a board. Next Delegate from Utah. The Union Vedette says: A chap remarked to another, in a con versation about public matters, an eve ning cr two ago, that Cnpjain Hooper of this place was "as good as elected" our next delegate to Congress, because for sooth that Brigham had gone down below "tot ell 'em how to vtoe." EJSS"A bachelor of thirty years" writes to the Country Gentleman for a recipe for bean soup. A lady corres pondent replies, "Get a wife who knows how to make it." gSfSIt is said that salt placed about plants will keep away insects. I i i r l! i ; a
