REGISTRATION IN MISSOURI. The Sturgeon (Mo.,) fmhyemfant gives the followiug as jpcchnciis of tho qucs tiotis propouuJcd by tho Uoartl of llcgis tration at that phco bist mouth : u Most of the question. propoumlcd were inienJcd cither to humiliate men. or so to cxuupcraio them that they would indignantly refuse to ansvrcr. Think of it, citizens! " Do you think a nepro is :oad enough to shoot a white man?" Thin was a question very frequently asked, and if unswered in tho neutivo you were din loyal. Or if you felt that it wan intended only to insult you, and you refused to answer it. you wtvo Mimmurily rejected for not answering juttioiM. Wo could not help liKkini:o: and wondering if they could underMand why men endured the things M ju!ctly nud repeet fully. If they could epprcciuto that sublime p.t tieuce with which tho most ;atriotie men can hometimcs httbmit to tJidinitici. le low are Mmo of the profound coriun druuiHof the three vsUe men : Are you a rcr.idc'tit t f tli Statc? Iluw did you t'lirul! in Do you believe ia every measure adopt, ed by the government to put down rebel lion ? Were y:u an unconditional union man ? Did yuu believe in arming the tslave- to t-ooi white men ? Do you believe that a nejrro U good uuough to hoota white uan ? How did you feci when Price raided in Ohio Did you help the government any? Did you talk all the time iu your con versation in favor of the Union cauc '! Did you havo any fut.t:ivv in the .;Uth, if to, did you fympaihuo with thou '! What did you think of Mr. LIucoh proclamation ? These men teemed to be conducting the whole farce in a constant Mate of alarm and uueaMncs., threatening to cave on the slightest tinc of any character being made. They refu-ed to answer the mofft polite and civil qu-Miu that could b propuunded ; and if any one found out the exact number registered, it is more than wc were able to acoomp!ih. We feel well aured however that utile many are added during the n-.ion of the Hoard of Review, out vt" between cvcu nud eijrht hundred worthy citizen and tax payers, in this township, le that) one liuudrci will be ailiwcd to vole. The! men who support Grant in our midst, don't help about this thing a bit, d j they ' Oh no, they have bee t laboring to ha c otue of m registered ! ! ! to have us elevated to a level with thy ne gro I Wonder how it fecU tu bed jug to a psrty that difraochio U out of lU of one's neighbors i " GltKKX BACKS AND Gol.D. Uncle John GriCiu had two tsoot. They weut to war us fubtitu!cs for the two ons of Mr. Millionaire. Smith, of Fifth Avenue. Ouo GrifTtu lot a leg aod the other an arm. When the war was over the Gov ernment ageut calicd on Uncle John and a.-ked: "Whcro are the boys V Uncle Johu aid, "I'll jut step out and call 'em. One of 'em is turuin the crank of u hand organ at the corner, and the other is hold in' a cigar box to each pcunics." In come the Griffins. The o-ent eays : "How arc you my boys 'I I've got a hun dred dollars apiece for you from the Gov ernment." "Thank ye," said the boys. Out of his pocket the ageut drew a cou ple of hundred in greenbacks. " Ah," said old Uncle John, who was looking oa, 'that's less than sixty dollars apeice for a leg and an ai m. "But," rejoined the agent, "that is the law. That is legal tender, and you ought to be glad to get it." "I now," said the agent, "must call and sec Mr. Smith and pay hint a couple hundred for his coupons. Mr. Smith is a noble bondholder, and loaned his mon ey to the Government to help kill the rebels: and, you know, you two "wr as substitutes for his Ronj." u Well " Paid the one !cgnl Griffin, "as I would like to sec Mr. Smith myself I'll just hobble along with you." Mr. Smith received the agent condescendingly, and the crip pled soldier hobbled iu without being j asked. Says the agent: "M r. Smith, I've a couple of hundred for you to-day, if it is convenient for you to receive it," and he took out of his right hand pocket ten twenty dollar gold pieces and laid them on tho table before the greedy eyes of Mr. Smith. "What!" exclaimed the soldier, "is Mr. Smith any better than me 'i You gave me greenbacks, and you give him gold." "Ah !" said the agent, impatiently, " you must learn to under stand things. Mr. Smith is a patriot, and you you're only a poor soldier. - a - A Scoundrel. Wc learn that a brute in human shape was over in East Port land yesterday, giving away candy to a numbor of little girls, and according to their evidence, committed indignities on their persons. Fortunately for tho vil lain, he made good his escape before these facts became known to the indignant pa rents, who would have served him to a coat of tar and feathers, or some other de served punishment. An individual so lost to all sense of honor and decency. should be removed iu some way ao that society would not be contaminated by his toul presence. Commercial. e Last Words of Noted Men. Short- ly before the demise of Thaddeus Stevens he was told, as an item of interest to the dying man, of the recent serious accident to Gen. Ben. Butler in Worcester. " It gives me great pain," said the expiring " commoner, ' great pain to know tbaUilsHcj neck wasn't broken."

Die. Franklin's Toast. Lone; af ter tho victories of Washington over the French and Kni;lish had made his name familiar to all Europe,' Dr. Franklin chanced to dino with 'the English and French Ambassadors, when as nearly ns the precise words can he recollected, the following toasts were drunk : England Tho Sun, whoso hcams of brightness enlighten and fructify the remotest corners of the earth. . The French Ambassador, filled with national pride, but being too polite to dispute the previous toast, drank the following. France The Moon, whose mild, steady and cheering rays aro the de liirht of all nations, consoling 'them in darkness and making their dreariness beautiful. Dr. Franklin then rose, and with his usual simplicity, said : Georiro Washington The Joshua who commanded the Sun and Moon to stand still, and they obeyed him. High Prices.

City and County is the name of an ably conducted paper published atNyack, New York. It has heretofore been in dependent in politics, but a few weeks ago it run up the Seymour and Blair banner. In taking this ntcp, the editor states that in I860 he was a supporter of the Iiepublican party, and voted for Lin coln. But, he added: " The emergencies which exist in our National aud State affairs, brought about maihlv, as we firmly believe, through the incompetency, and, hi soma instance, the di.-honesty of tho.-e placed in power by thy Iiepublican party j the reckles: ex travagance which marks the Icgtakifiou of that party wherever they are in the ncendant; tho enormous luxation impos ed upon the who' pcoph?, but bearing with almost crjdiing' eficct upon the la boring and producing clashes, imposed, continued, and withevcry prospect of in create, loo palpably with a view to keep that party in power, without regard cith er to the absolute wants cf .the country, or with any apparent iatcntion of ulti mate liquidation of our enormous indebt edness j the elevation cf a c!as of p"p!e to the elective t'rauchhe too ignorant and degraded to understand or intelligently excrete the high privileges, leaving them a prey to designing, dishonest and cor rupt poltticiaLs, and di-francbi-ing a larg portion f that class of persons bet ter qualified, by l uig habit, education, arid more recent political aHili-jtiou, to projeriy hape and guard the machinery of government; the keeping and main taining an enormous and expensive mili tary ftabiihir.t''it in a time of profound peace ; and creeling and maintaining : vst chanty machine for the support 'j idle negroes, and Mill mote idle po!l ci an", cjlic 1 the Frcedmcu Bureau, i: only at a heavy tax upon the country, but by its very institution and creation making dangcrou inroad upon the civil a luiinitrati-u of law aud a pretext f r military ru!e ; the incompetency manifest ed in u:s lertan ding or grapingqnvsttun of fiuatifu; and, finally, the fearful and rapid htrt Je4 towards centraliznttoo, thu fceking ti absorb in the General tiovcrn meut, n.l, iu the same measure, deprive States and munieipaliiies of that just Ii--tributiou of governmental pv.ver, which tu a republic where that power is cx j re-?ly derived from the j eople, all his tory aul experience has demonstrated, as fatal to lleoatiieiu life and liberty.

Last Monday morning Mr. Ilichard Bennett, a student who is enjoying a summer vacation at his father's well ap pointed mansion, a short distance south west of Dubuque, took a volume of Ten nyson's poems iu his hand, and wandered out to repose beneath some rocks which extcuded a grateful shade, and also to feast his soul upon the poetical truths and beauties breathed forth by the poet laureate, lie flung himself dowu upon the grass, and was soon lo!iu contempla tion of king nvJ princess, shady grottoes, summer bowers, and enchanted laud, tin ,:.!, overcome by tho themes presented, aud tho warm weather, he fell asleep. ; How long lie (ay thus he knew not, it might have been for hours ; but he was uddculy awaked .by a peculiar rustling noise close bestue him. Instinctively he turned his head toward tho point from whence tho sound proceeded, when he beheld a sight which filled him with hor ror, aud which he, if an ordinary man, will not be apt to forget until his dying day. There, not four feet from him, coiled up as 1! ready ior a spring, with head erect, eyes darting tire, and tougue playing like the forked lightning from tho bosom of the clouds, was an enormous rattlesnake over eight feet in length. It would be difficult to describo the feelings of Bennett at that moment. Fresh and vigorous, in the spriug time of life, the world with its dazzling futuro before him, hardly a stone s throw from hi father's house, death in its most terrible form had apparently come upon him. Ilis pres ence of mind did not desert him, how ever, and he lay perfectly motionless, fix ing hts eyes upon those ot his suakeship and awaiting for ucw developments. This appeared to suit the latter. Gradu ally he relaxed his menacing attitude, and lowering his head, commenced tp crawl slowly toward Bennett, at the same time emitting a low, murmuuing, siugmjr sound, winch tne impromptu hearer ue scribes as having been really delightful. Nearer aud nearer came tho snake, Ben nett remaining perfectly motionless, not daring to move for fear of the terrible fangs, until finally the monster actually crawled over his legs, and nestled dowu by his side like a pet kitten, as much as to say that ho was well pleased with his new companion, and would forego hostilities Hero was a dilemma, and how to get out of it was tho difficulty. While Bennett was speculating as to how this could be done, and revolving over a thousand ril:ins !V nr!rljl-inr fhiinrfrl tri n?iea nlcm who comprehended tho w hole situation at a glance, !"d at a mute gesture from Ben nctt, rushed to the house for assistance. Ho procured a rifle, and, coming back put tho muzzle within two feet of the ticau 01 the serpent, ana yiui a sieauy aira punea trigger, xuero was ueuieu report, and the next instant the snake was writhing in his death agony, while Bennett bounded from the ground, and with tho exclamation,' "Saved! saved!" fell fainting in the arms of his preserver. NllEKI'. There is no fact more clearly establish ed by physiology than this, that the brain expands Us energies and itself during the hours of wakefulness, and these are re cuperated during !eep; if the recupera tion docs not equal I he expenditure, the brain withers -this is insanity. Thus it is, that in early English history, persons who were condemned to death-by being prevented from fslecping always died rav ing maniac ; thus it is, also, that those who are starved to death become inranc ; the brain is not nourished, and they can not tdeep. The practical inferences arc these : 1. Thwc who do most brain work, lhoe who think most, require mo-jt sleep. li. That time paved from ncccsary sleep is infallibly destructive to ruicd, body and estate. ,'J. Give your elf, your children, your servants give all that arc uud'-r you the fullest amount of sleep they will take, compelling them to retire at sou.c regular hour, and to ric the moment they wake; and within a fortnight, nature, with al most the regularity t the un, will un loose the bands of tlecp the moment enough repose has becu jecurcd for the wants of the system. This is the only safe and sufficient rule; and as to the question how much sleep one requires, each must bo a rule to himself. Nature will never fail to write it out to the ob server under the regulations jut given. , . finprcznc Cottrt Proceeding.
