[From Representative Davis’ Speech ou tbe Ooegou Decision] We tnko the following; Tho Presidency is eluitned hy Air. Tildeu and his friends and by Mr. Hayes and his lricnds. Tho commission has not decided vvi e ly ns Solomon did when the two women appeared before him, each claiming to be the mother of the child before him. Each claimed the child, aud they went to Solomon for judg ment, and he said, ‘'Let the chi <3 be divided between you.” But tho true mother, with the maternal in stinct of a mother said, “Net so; let her take the child.” And so in (his case, rather than that civil liberty shall perish and law aud order die, w r saylo you that if it he so that this child must bo divided or given up to you, it shall uot ho destroyed, it shall not he divided, tnko tho child hut you are not the true mother, you are the false, fraudulent eluimant; take the child, we commit it to your foul bosom, but we will watch you and guard it, and it any attempt is made to muti late it* or destroy it. or dwarf its fair proportions, we will with the courage of the true mother spring to its res cue, and you shall be destroyed and not it. THE FATTED CALF, A good story is told concerning n town-bred curate, who bad consented to do duly m Sunday for bis friend tho reeb rof a country paiish in the midlands. Ibe supject of the morn ing pennon was the parable of the Prodigal Son, and in hopes of impres sing upon his bearers the joy which patriarch felt on the return of his son, ns iustanerd by his’ ordering the fatted calf to bo killed, the young curate felt a pardonable pride in dwelling upon a sublect which could not fail to be comprehensible to the dullest plough-boy in the congrega tion. “Remember,” be said, “this was no ordinary dalf which was to be killed: it was no common galf or hrnbt suffering form nmrrniiij no half starved calf, slowly awaiting death. No! it was not even merely a fatted calf; but, becoming more ilnprossive, it was the fattest calf, which had been prized atid loved by the family for many years! A sea of wide eyes and gaping months arrested for n moment the eloquence of the fledgling parson, and in the next there was such a chucking and grins and fluttering of old bends below as hud not beeu~wit nesfed even in the memory of the quaint-legged rexton for more than “many years.”— English paper. An Alabama Jury’s Astonishing Veriict —A jury in Alabama bad been impaneled in the ease of a Mr. Johnson, charged with killing bis wife. The evidence was positive and con clusive, leaving no doubt of his speedy conviction. To the amazement of all, the jury, after a short absence, return ed a verdict; “Guilty of horse steal ing. ’ Tho Judge astonisbi and, asked an explanation, stating that the in dictment was not for horse stealing, bnt manslaughter. The foreman with his hnnd upon a huge law book, nnd with an amusingly dignified air, in formed the court that “it wai not a case of manslangter, hut wotmn slaughter, for which the law made no provision; hut being satisfied the nfan deserved to he hanged, they had brought in a verdict of horse stealing, which in that country, would be sure to swing him.” —llunburg News.

THRILLING SCKNE>—DEATH 't& THE BRIDAL ALTAR. A sad occurrence tok place in the Town of Tbomasville. North tJurOlijSs, on Tursday evening, Fibruai'J 2'i, 1877, the like of which is seldom if aver, re corded in the annals of history, or ever known to have taken place in Hie course qf human events, where deefh earns in <*n uubiddeu, unlookcd-f ir m< meß*, ntia snatched away the bride from the side of the I rid g oom while the roinJetlf w.is performing the marriage lef.tuony, Tue history is this; A number of guest had assembled at the house cl Mrs. Forney, widow of the late Tnomas Foruev, former y, of Montgomery coun ty N <J., to celebrate her marriage with William Thomas, son of the late lion. J. W Thomas. ’1 be appointed hour came, the j >yous tone ot luughii r had ceased, wulo the friends and relatives took their places around lo awa t with eager interest the approach of tlie two who were soon to take the solemn vows that wouil hind tluir h arts together, “f r weal or woo.’' A moment's p übi and they mada their appearance. The officiating Min ister, Kvv. J, W. Lewis, of the North Conference, look his stand and began the solemn service When he got to tho second paragraph, as wriiteu in the ‘Methodist Disciplin,” which begins thus: “Into which holy estato these two persou present come now to he joined,” us the word ‘ into’’ fell from his lips the ure ol t he bride began suddenly to dioop—gently she came down upon flier knees, aud then, without an exclamation. Ml buck upon the floor iu a lifeless swoon 8o great was the consternation of all presoul that ihcy seemed rooted, spcllpouod to iho floor, aud fra tno'. uicnt no one was able to reader assis tance. i..eu tbrro was a fueli; she waa home from the room, restoratives ad minister! d,and everything that kindness or human ai t could suggest was dono to biing her back to life aud consciousness, but all to uo purpose The edict bad gone forth, and in less than an hour's lime bI.o who was to have been a happy, joyous bride, exulting in tho congratu lations of tiiends aud participatiug in the fest.vitics of tho occasion, was tho “bride ot death. 1 ’ Soon tho news 8| read from house to house, and the the terrib'o shock cast a sadness and gloom over the entire community. Sympathizing friends gathered round the heart. H'riekfii mourners, willing to offer oousolmiou hut tho grief of him hy whose side alio stood when the mussonger came, aud of the daughter, who, in the bloom of youth, was so suddenly bereft of a mother’s counsel and advice, was far beyond tho reooh of liotnuu aid or sympathy —none dure, at such an hour, to intrude upon tho sueredness of such grief.— Wilmiiiylon Star-, DEPTH TO PLANT. The proper depth to plant seed is a question of consideratdo import an •i, and out) which like many other similar questions relating to plant growth cannot receive a defiinito answer that would bo of gonei al or nnivereal ap plication In dry, sandy soil, situated in dry climates, a deeper covering will be required than would bo judicious wl ere bo'h noil and climato ind'c ta iBo reverse of these conditions. S-uds vary in 'heir ability to penetrate depth of Boil in germinating. Legunin ous seeds cjo ho planted deeper than those of a lighter cliaraotor. It has been given as a general rulo that all seeds gcrmii are most speedily when covered with a depth of soil equal to their own thickness and whero tho con stant presence of sufficient moisture for germinating can bo maintained, this rulo may hold good, but it will not hold in many cases, however, owing, wo suppose, to tho fact that tho “constant presure of sufficient moisture” cannot be secured. Corn planted by this rulo would ho a decided failure The truth is, ope must draw upon his own good judgement in Ill's matter. The seeds must he so deep as to render it not easy fur the pilant to come through tho ground, nor must they bo so shallow as to dry out from tho effects of the sun. Small seeds had better be shaded du ring warm, drying sunshine. BALK Y* HOUSES. There is a good deal said just now about the balking of hors s, the causes of it and the remedies. As long as wo remember, this singular lit of obstina cy of the lior.se has been discussed, and all sorts of plans for overcoming it given. Hut what wilt answer for ono hoisa may not for another. Tho cause of it doubtless neglect and ill treatment of the colt, or when and after it is broken to h irness. Sometimes stopping a i moments will be sufficient to start tho animal opaio ftcely of b s own accord. Kind woidß patting, a handful of ,hay or grass, or a little pepper put on the tongue wid induce him to go ahead as if nothing had been the matter. Whip ning at all times, and especially io this Cise, is the worst revolt. We have ourselves induced balky horses tojstart by some of the means above recorded.
