On Wednesday af ternoon, both ladies met at Savin Hill, Dorchester, each attended by the “aid ers and abetters,” and a goodly num ber they were. Katie Murphy was dressed in red, with a small American flag around her waist, a white merino skirt, and a tasselied blue velvet cap. Her competitor wore green irunks but toned at the knees, white stockings and laced gaiters. She also wore a white linen frilled bosom shirt, and a yellow cloth cap. Belting was two to one on Miss Murphy. By a toss of a cent, Miss Fisher was entitled to jump first, in which she cleared ten feet and nine and three fourth inches ; Miss Murphy cleared eleven feet three inches. On the second trial, Miss Fisher leaped eleven feet one and a half inches; Miss Murphy eleven feet two and a half inches, thus winning the match. [Boston Times.

The Western and Middle States and all the South ern States will be anti-Radical. This will have an effect upon the legislation of Congress at the coming session. What the Radicals, in their despera tion, will do, is not to be imagined, but we need not be surprised at a re newed attempt to keep some of the excluded Slates out of the Union, and to create new States with Republican Senators. We have already been apprised of the intended exclusion of Andrew Johnson from the United Stales Sen ate, when he shall be elected by Ten nessee, as it is now probable he wiU be. Senator Wilson has declared that he will not be admitted lo a seat. It will be objected to him that a majority of both houses of Congress pronounced that he had been guilty of “high crimes and misdemeanors.” A disintegration of all parties may be manifested in Congress. The West is becoming restive under the arbitrary and exclusive rule of the East. at mast enough to pay off’his indebtedness, a matter of duty and good faith, and then should he feel inclined to gamble on the remainder of his crop, it is his own lookout and nobody eise’s busi ness. These views, we think, are correct, and address themselves directly to the mortis-nse ot the planters. Let all aci upon them as a rule, and we shall hear hut little of “hard times” from a dead-lock in the cotton market.—Sa vannah Republican. Plainly, a man has no right to hold his crop at the expense of his creditors.

It is, however, when used in the sense under consid eration, as definite as possible, and means the power required to lift 33,- j 000 pounds avoirdupoise, one foot high q^. in one minute. A horse hitched lo the end of a rope over a pully one inch in diameter plac ed over a deep well, traveling at the rate of about 2h miles per hour, or 220 feet per minute, will draw up 150 pounds, the same distance he travels. The force thus exerted is called in me- i Mean Temperature off Tiffc States.—According to the regularly reported tables, the mean temperafbre of August last was as follows in the different Stales ; Massachusetts New York Pennsylvania Virginia North Carolina Georgia Alabama Texas Mis 66 degree*. 67 •* ISlSSippi nessee to I Illinois 70 76 77 7* 80 83 83 80 71 75 chanics, “horse-power,” it being in ap proximation to the average amount of continuous power it is fair to demand of a strong horse. If we multiply the weight raised (150 pounds) by the num ber of feet was moved per minute (220) the product will be tfie number of pounds which the same power would raise one toot high in the same length of time (33,000 pounds.) The dynamometer is an instrument made for measuring power, particular ly that exerted in drawing. Those us ed for testing the draft of agricultural implements are simply very strong spring balances or strong spring steel yards, graduated to indicate the power required to raise any we ght, within reasonable limit, at the rale o! two and a hall miles per hour. When we ap ply the dynamometer in ascertaining the draught of indicates one hundred and fifty pounds it is shown that the horse is required to draw just as hard as he would do if raising 150 pounds, out of a well with a rope over a pulley one foot in diame ter, at the rate of two and a half miles per hour and so for other weights. St. Louit Fair. This has been a mammoth affair. There was a great display of hog*. The most valued breed among - these Western people is the “Poland and Chinas,” as giving great weight and yield, and having strong limbs that can stand much driving. One, weighing 983 pounds, at 30 months old, took a $300 prize. A five-month pig, weigh ing 278 pounds, attracted much atten tion. The next good breed, in the order of their excellence, were the “Hospital.” “Berkshire*,” with small bones, and easily fattened, “Chester Whiles,” “Ilussias,” Suffolks.” Allbe auction sale of stock, a boar, sow and three pigs, of the “Poland-Chi- na” breed, brought $600.

The Direct Land Tax at the South.— The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald writes to that paper as follows : There is some talk of enforcing the collection of the direct land tax in the Sonlh. The Southern States share of this tax—which amounted to twenty millions amoag all the States—was six millions; ofthissum only about three millions has been paid into the Treasu ry from the Southern States' It will be remembered that when thi3 amount bad been collected President Johnson sent a message to Congress setting forth that ia view of the poverty pro- daced in the South by the war it would in many instances be rninons to that lection to enforce the collection of the tax at that lima, and recommending tfcat it be suspended for some time, so as lo allow the industrial interests of the of South to recuperate. It is stat ed that the limit of the suspension fix ed by Congrei'S has now passed, arid the law providing for the levying and collection of the >ai comes into full force again. It fu argued by those who urge this proceeding That the indus trious of ihe South have greatly im proved in the interim, thet the crops are abundant, and that there is no lon ger any excuse for delay on the score ofpoverty. Whether the Secretary of the Treasury will act upon the advice tendered him in this matter remains to be seen. A Brilliant Whitewash.—When tve wish a wash of this character we wish ftn article that will be durable, and we are willing to be at a little more ex pense ifwe can gel it. We have it in the following recipe: Take clear lumps of well burnt white lime, slaked, add to five gallons a quarter of a pound of whiting, or burnt alum pul verized, half a pound of loaf sugar, one quart and half of rice flour made into a thin and well boiled paste, boil ed out in water. This may be put on cold, within doors, but hot outside. This will be as brilliant as plaster of Paris, and retain its brilliancy for ma ny years.— Western Farmer. A Chinese Idol in San Francisco—A Gorgeous Temple and its Presiding Deity. The San Francisco correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, who has obtained access to one of the Chinese “Joss-houses ” in that city, describes what he saw : “At one end of the room, reaching entirely across it, is a luxurious throne, composed of silk, satn:, and costly fa brics, embroidered heavily with gold and silver, and ornamented in the rich est manner. In tfie centre of this throne up two steps, on what seemed to bo low, easy, silken cushions, sat Joss. Covering tfie throne and reaching to the ceiling was the most gorgeous, can opy, rich with silk, velvet, gold and silver. This covered the throne entirely except the portion occupied by Joss, and the silk, and cords, and satin fes tooned with glittering richness above bis head. In the center of all this gran deur sat Joss, very demurely and verv tranquilly—I may say, very happily. He was a singular creature to be so powerful. I don’t know what he was made of, but I think he was formed of clay. His raiment was the richest I have ever beheld, and probably fills the Chinaman’s idea of the wicked Railroads Forty Years Aon.—The Washington correspondent of the Cin cinnati Commercial copies from Sites' Register for May 15th, 1830, the follow ing notice, from which the render will be able to form some idea of the early efforts of Americans in the business of railroading: “The Baltimore and Ohio railroad will be traveled in wagon*, thirteen miles, to Ellicoit’s upper mills, in a day or two, at the rate of at least ten miles an hour. Tens of thousatdi will em brace the opportunity ef teeing the noblest work yet attempted in the United Slates of traveling twenty-six miles in two and one-half hoare, without danger or fatigue, of enjoying the fresh air, and passing through one of the most romantic and beautiful countries we have—every minute presenting some thing new to be admired by strangers on the road. The wagons will start or different hours in the day, aad soon, perhaps, hourly. Each wagon, drawn by one horse, will carry from twenty-five to thirty persons with entire convenience. The thirteen miles will be divided into two stag's, f«»r a change of horaes, w’hich may be effected io about half a minute, from the excellency of the gear ing.

He looked to me like a very harm less and peaceful devil. 1 should not be afraid to grapple with him alone. He bad a puttv-looking face, black eyes, black hair, and a fearful black whisker tied under his ears and reach ing under his chin, and cover ing the whole of the neck and most of the breast. His nose and cheeks gave indications of a heavy drinker—brandy probably ; and his stomach, round and fat, seemed to say lager. His dress was so heavily loaded with gold and silver, and so mixed up with folds of silver and velvet, that I could not tell whether it was a coat, a dress ora mantle. I am pretty sure the fellow had on some kind of small clothes. A very fine smoking cap adorned his head, but I could not see that he had clubbed feet, nor that his fingers were hooked. I endeavored to see if he was a Chinese devil an wore a queue, but his back was so covered with embroid ery and furbelows that I lmd lo aband on the undertaking, for I did not like to get too near him. In front of the throne in the centre of the room, was an ele gant counter or sort of table, carved and ornamented in a very costly and elaborate manner, and inlaid with precious metals and rare stones. Chloroform for Mice.—After read ing »his you may ns well set your traps aside. The method of taking mice is so novel that it cannot fail to please those who are troubled by them. A correspondent says : “Having on several occasions notic ed mice in our seed barrels, I be thought me of gome method how I might trap the little intruders. They have gained entrance by eating through the chine. To kill them with a stick was impracticable, as the little fellows would invariably escape as the lid was raised to any height, 1 then thought of saturating u piece of cotton with chlo roform and tiirowing ii in, then closing the lid. On raising it again in a few minutes I would fiad that life had al most or quite departed. Having on one occasion left the piece of cotton in the barrel, on again returning I found three mice with their heads in close contract with it, and dead. In the evening 1 saturated another piece and placed it in the barrel, and on opening it the next morning, to my surprise 1 found nine dead mice.” Enterprise-—A correspondent at Hickory Tavern, Catawba county, N.

These were in addition to large shipments of honey, butter, beeswax, eggs, flax seed, corn, rye, onions and various other article*.

I have repeatedly seen those soldiers submit, with cheerfulness, to privations and hardships which would appear to be almost incredible; and the wild cheers of our brave men, (which were so different from the stud ied hurrahs of the Yankees,) when their thin lines sent back opposing hosts of Federal troops, staggering, reeling, have often thrilled every fibre in my heart. I have seen with my own eyes, ragged, barefooted anti hungry Confed erate soldiers perform deeds which, if performed in days of yore, by mailed warriors in glittering armor, would have inspired the harp of the minstrel, and the pen of the poet.

When they came up with him they found he was driving a flock of canary birds, as in England they drive a flock of tar- keys. A carriage eame along, the man waved his whip in ajpeceliar manner, when the little birds all went to the sidewalk until the carriage had passed, when they took to the street again. A woman wanted to bay ene, when the man sprinkled some canary seed at his teet and half a dozen of them came to him, when he took one np brs band and delivered il to the woman, who paid him one franc for it. The man then went on again.” A GENEROUS HUSBAND. Perhaps fifteen or sixteen years ago, in a very good State, I saw a woman with a pleasant Quaker face, under a simple Quaker bonnet—I rather liked it—and her Quaker husband silting by her with his broad-brimmed hat on. Tlrey had spent many years together, yon could see by their faces. He was just bidding her good-bye as the train was starting, and I heard tier ask him for a little money. I did not at ail wish to hear what they said, but I heard that he had bought her lickei, and saw that he had taken hei satchel politely on his arm. She hated to ask him for the money ; a good many other women have hated to ask for it, too, Sh» began to 9ay, “I wish I had a lit tle”—she did not want to finish, think- ngthat he would think of it and give it to her; hut he did not. So out it came •11 at once. “Maybe I’ll want a little money while I am gone.” The good, honest Quaker turned his face toward her with surprise and said, “What has thou done with the quarter I gave thee la»t week?” [Laughter and applause.] [Lucy Stone's Chicago Speech.

All that have partaken of this luxury during the night will be found “organic remains” the next morning.’* A servant girl in Altoona recently tried whisky to kill rats. She sweet ened it with sugar, soaked bread in it, and then left the bread tr the cellar where rats “most do congregate” She had been up stairs but half an hour when she heard laughing, singing, and a general hullaballoo down stairs. She accordingly went down lo see what was the mailer.
