There are people living among us, who can remember when the marsh at the northern extremity of our village was of sufficient depth to allow the HU>OJ>S and schooners, or any Bailing craft whose draft of water was not more than ten feet, to deliver their freight at the very place where now the thundering locomotive, with a shriek like that of a fiend, dives into the earth, at the foot of Church street. At tho time of which I write, this nftrsh «s well us the ones on the east of our harbor, formed with the new narrow chan- nel of Lake Ohainplain, one vast bay, or harbor. Those sandbars, upon which are now piled millions of feet Of lumber, ami occupied by saw and steam planing mills, offices and dwellings, were known as Cooke's Island ; and Cooko'a Island was in truth an island at all times of tho year; and it is with this island that my si connected. Header, upon this spot hap- pened one of the most bloody tragedies in the unwritten history of those early set- tlers. On this island the early settlers had built a small wooden fort, or block house, •Hu\ from which cause theisland was nam- ed Block House Island. 11 was surround- ed by a- l'i;/h wall, built close to the wa- ter's edge, on all sides except the west, this being protected by a perpendicular clitf some forty or fifty feet in height, which Was washed at the base by the wa- ters of the lake. This place was selected by them on ac- count of its natural fortinaations, and be- cause it commanded a view of the whole harbor, as a place of safety for the women and children of the settlement to which they fled at the time of daritoer. Mow the war of the Revolution had be- gun, and this place was garrisoned with a small force, who at the approach of the enemy, was reinforced by the settlers, who removed the most valuable parts of their property to the fort. The armament was small; consisting of four old brass six pounders. There may still be seen \ipon the sum- mit of this island, remains of that old fort, which are just as fresh to-day as they were twenty years ago ; while other places of a like nature, inour vicinity, have been ploughed up or built over, and every votive of their existence destroyed. na al expretsion.

M. 1MJGERS. y y Captain William Stuart, who was at that time in command of Block House Island, was informed by a scout and a hunter, whoso name was Perkins, that General Frazcr'with one thousand Brit- ish troops had attacked Colonel Warner at Hubbaxdton, and the eoloniste, after a severe fight, became demoralized, and fled in all directions. He also stated that live hundred Indians and Tories were coining by way of East Bay to Skeensboro, with a view of its destruction. Scarcely had the commandant gathered in the woman and children of the settle- ment, and made his arrangements to repel the attack, when night set in, clear and cloudless. At about eleven o'clock, the enemy was reported in sight. They were coming from the direction of East Bay ina large number of canoes and batteOUX, while upon the land some of the forces were de- ployed as scouts. The whole force of the Americans was about thr<-! hundred, one- half of whom were on the island, and the rest ambushed in the woods on the moun- tain side, just below lvehosh-quamia Falls. No sound, either at the fort or on the shore, indicated thai the settlers were of the approach of the enemy. On came the fleet of boats, silently dip- ping their oars, hopeful of surprising the L and elated at the thought of the - ; • • • ud rich Bpi ii I ba| ^waited them ; for this was a depot of supplies for a large extent of country. Our soout, Thomas Perkins, was look- ing through a loop hole in the fort, Wfttoh- injr the movements of the fleet, until, as the enemy drew near, he turned to his commander with a flashing eye, and hiss- ed through his clenchi d teeth : "I suy, Captain Stuart, do you see thai boal ahead tliar'r" •Yes, Tom," he replied. What of it P" "This of it," said the scout; "if Jim Pierco ain't, in'that boat, hang me for a eonsarned ilabergasted Tory !" "Jim l'ieree '." said the captain, "he is one of our friends, and I believe he has a good heart notwithstanding bis rough na- ture. He Was here yesterday and dined witb me. I think you are mistaken." "Dined with you, Captain, did he! Did you warm that rattlesnake that's now ready to strike ye '< He's a Tory ! a spy —one ofBurgoyne's mosi valuable scouts.' ••1 harbored l'ieree, certainly," said the Captain. "I thought him a fliend to our : and he was recommended to me as a faithful scout, by my superior, Colonel Warner. "Captain," said Tom, "I don't swear, coz Lucy Morgan axed me not t o ; but. Jerewsalem • wouldn't I like ter rip out now? twould den- me good. Has thai darned skunk imposed on the Kernel tew? 1 must put an end to your desaif, Jim Tierce ; for I have got the pill in old Thunderer's belly what was easVcd i patting his long rifle as he spoke. "Now say yer prayers, for I'm goin' to sponge ye out." As he said this he brought the rifle to his shoulder, but the Captain laying his hand on 'he scout's ami said : "Wait until I give the order to com- n ence the battle, then you may turn your attention to Pierce." "That's allus the way," said Perkins, "when a feller lias a clear sight, and a good shot, but I kin v. It is true that l'ieree had dined with the Captain the day before, and had been shown sill the defenses of the place, and Pierce had noticed with keen eyes, the small garrison, and showing tho creden- tials given him by Colonel Warner, gain- ed all the knowledge of the place he sired ; and'after having lulled the captain into security, by telling him that there were no enemy in the country, and a ! supply was coming up the lake in charge of Kthan Allen, the Captain made him the bearer of dispatches to Gen. Scln at Fort Edward, and he departed ostensi- bly on his mission : but in reality, to in- form Krazier of their almost defenseless condition. At Fairhaven, Pierce meeting with "Beed Deer," a chief of the Mohawks, and a band of Tories under one Remington, he considered this motion, as the poli- ticians say, and unfolded to them a plan for the sacking of Skeensboro. For his share in the spoils, all he asked was what lie should take from the bodies of those whom he should slay, and that the girl Lucy Morgan should be given him as his prisoner. This was quickly agreed to, and thus, as we have seen, he lea on the attack. During the dialogue just mentioned, the boats had all huddled together, as ii 1 their occupants were deciding upon the mode of attack, they being about forty rods from the island'. Soon the word to be in readiness wns passed from man to man, and turning to Tom he said : "Now send your regard to Pierce, fire I" Upon the instant, the east side of the Block House belched forth one broad sheet of flame, as the six pounders, which had been loaded with musket i alls, and one hundred and fifty muskets and rifles sent their messengers of death over the waters of the harbor. The discharge had taken them completely by surprise, and hideous yells and shrieks arose from the crowded fleet, which told the garrison that their tire had been well directed. "There, cuss ye !" said ono of the gun- ners. «Ye red devils and black hearted crabs, ye can now go to tophet dancing to yer own music. I kinder reckon old Ver- mont did yer biziness for ye that time." Those sturdy patriots needed no order to reload, but sprang to do so as soon as possible, aud almost before the smoke had cleared away, they were again in readi- ness. "Cuss ye," gritted Perkins through his clenched teeth, shaking his rifle, that's the second time ye've sarved me a scrub- by trick, when I've had ye pintcd at Jim Pierce. The scout's rifle had missedfire,and having re-primed it, after carefully pick- ing the vent, he looked to see the extent of the damage done to the enemy. Nearly one-half of their boats had been destroyed, and those that were left, were making the best way to the shore, scat- tering themselves as much as possible, while Pierce was nowhero to bo seen. Captain .Stuart then ordered tho men at tho cannons to aim at the four boats near- est the shore, and that every rifle-mail should endi avor to pick his man, and the order of fire was given. The matches were applied and triggers touched and away sped the bullets to ad- minister their lessons of eternity. Tho result, on account of the boats being so widely scattered, was not so disastrous to the enemy us at first, yet their loss was alarming, and the survivors redoubled their efforts to reach tho shore. "Lord see Yv.i claw ! go it ye red devils, hell's ahead !" said a settler as he rammed home a bullet, and proceeded to prime his piece. "I guess yell remember this little surprise party as long as ye wear liar." By this time the party were at the shore and were hastily disembarking. Tliev had scarcely landed v> hen they received the third discharge from the foi-t, and the ambush on tho shore poured in thei ly fire which completely demoralized the remaining force and they fled in all di- rections, having lost full four fifths of their force. "1 wonder where that rapscallion, Jim Pierce can bo," said the scout, turning to the Captain. "I don't think he's gone under, but of he ain't I'll be on his trail to-morrow ; and then it's him or me." Soon the doors were opened and the women and children, who were in tho underground apartment out of harm's way, came thronging up, anxious to see if any of their loved ones were harmed. But when they found that the enemy had not fired a shot, they were filled with word! or stir a Hand or foot. The next instant he was at her side, his arm encir- cling her waist, and his hand pressed tightly over her month effectually pre- venting her uttering a word. He then darted behind the rock that hail before concealed him, and despite her struggles succeeded in tying a handkerchief over the girl's mouth, and binding her hand and loot. "Well, my pretty bird," Baid he, "per- haps you may want tec know how i came h ire, and why I've captured ye. Well. I don't mind tellin' ye. Ye see when your friends in there sent us their respects in the first discharge, Remington yelled out tli it I'd betrayed 'em, and Bred iiis pistol at in". I knew that my life wasn'4 worth •t shuck, so I just flopped overboard, pro- ng I was wounded, and managi d to git out o'their splintered boats atween em and me, and when they go1 away, 1 swum hare : but I didn't expect tho pleas- ure o' see-in' you. Now, I'm goin' to wait hero till everything's quiet up there, and then I'm goin 1 to rekonitor, put th" senti- nels to sleep, and make a blaze o' tha! old blockhouse. Artor that I'm oomin'back here an 1 tike you and make yer sorry ye said 'no' tow me, when I axed you to be my wife. How docs that ar little plan suityori Now, yer see, if you don't be- h ive purty handsuni, I'll make 8 pTOSeni on yer to myfriend, Bod Deer, when 1 get through witb ye ; so now, set up and let's have a good talk, an' don't be throw- in' yerself down on yer face. Ye m in'. anser, ye know, I'll do that for ye." The maiden, by continued efforts, al last succeeded in removing the bandage iVo.n her mouth : and gathering 1 al] her strength, senl forth a shriek that rang like a clarion through the island. "Curse ye ! ye yelled like a catamount ! Take that an' stop your nois'," said Pierce dealing her a blow that completely stun- ned her. He then caught her in his arms and turned to flee, just as the garjison, headed by Captain Stuart and Perkins came up and demanded his surrender. • Never ' " said the villain ; but I've got yer gal, an' ye can have her, but this is the way I'll surrender her tu ye I" and ho drove his knife to the shaft in the boson of Lucy Morgan. Withft yell of agony and rage the scout Caught Pierce by the throat, and wrench- ed the knife from his grasp, drew back his hand to plunge it to the murderer's heart, when his fool slipped and ho fell, and the knife flew from his hand Pierce sprang into a run ; but he had made but one or two leaps, before a dozen strong hands were laid upon him, and he was held as in a vice. Perkins, on rising to his feet, heard his name called in a weak voice by the woun- ded maiden. With such a groan as God in his mercy suffers not twice to escape the same breast, he turned to the maiden whoso bonds had been severed, and en- deavored to staunch the blood that flowed from her breast. She looked up with a sweet smile and said : "It's of no avail, Tom; I am go: join my mother and friends in that home a the sky." "No, no!" cried Perkins, '-you must you shall live! See, I have stopped the bio «11" "Don't deocivc yourself, Tom." Lucy, "the wound is bleeding internally, * a f'.w moments i dono with the things of time : but I am I' ful that I have been the means of saving many lives." She then unfolded the whole deviiish plot of Pierce, to murder the sen- tinels and fire the fort ; adding—"Go< has made me the instrument for th ing of the lives of many, and I am py. Don!t grieve Tom. Kiss me. Good- by." The fair hands relaxed their ho] with a look of unutterable love, her sou' winged its flight toward heaven. Tenderly those tough men lifted tin corpse of Lucy Morgan, and sadly thej bore her to the block house. Tom follow ed like one in a dream, and left her no until the weeping women, with genth force, parted them to compose that loveh form for its last resting place. "Mechanically the bereaved young man moved out of the block house, when hi saw Pierce standing sullenly between tw< of his captors. The sight called back hi wandering senses : and with a look of tin intense hate ho leaped forward shouting: 'Mine! mine must be the hand tha punishes him ! Give him to me I' 1 "Of course," said Pierce, "you can mur- der mo if you want to, for you're amon your friends and ye know yer safe ; bn ren't fight me. Just put a knife in to my hand, and in five minutes Ivin: George will have one the less enemies an the devil one more recruit." The sneering tone in which this speed was uttered, slung the scout to the las degree of madness. "Liar!" he cried. Then turning to hi comrades, he said: "Give him a knife, and I'll prove t him what I say." A knife was slipped into the hand o each, and they stood face to fa-ce, glarini at each other like wild beasts. Neithe spoke ; but one might see the determim tion to kill or fall beneath the knife. Sim olteneously th< g forward, an< their knives clashed. The blows full thic and fast. Here and there, advancing an retreating, with foot to foot, ana ej glaring into eye, they fought. Doth wen masters of that favorite weapon of the early settlers, the hunting knife, and for a time neither seem< d to have the ad- vantage. At last the wen]ion of Perkins was seen to have lost its sheen ; the blood 13th. , y fied wit gratitude to Heaven, and each sent up a silent prayer of thanksgiving to the God of battles. Lucy Morgan and the scout were seat- ed in the comer of the fort, enjoying a Me a Me that is so dear to all lovers. But I am not writing a love story, and what they said must remain a secret, particu- larly as no one heard the conversation but themselves. Hour after hour sped on, bni they took no note of the time, thfij so happy in each other's society ; until Perkins heard his name called by the Cap- tain, and he went to him at one I. Lucy sat for some time thinkin the events of the lastfewhours. At last •.nd went out of tho block house into the open air. She strolled along, communing with her own thoughts, un- -iis of where she was going until she found herself at the southern extrem- ity of the island. A slight noise at in r side caused her to look up, and there she saw a sight thai almost froze tfaeblood within her veins. It was the face Of her rejected lover, .James Pierce. She was go astonished that she i <•"' • tei' a dripped from it in swifter circles it swept over his head. Still the fight raged on, until the scout drove his knife through the forearm of Pierce, rendering him powerless. Quick as lightningflashedthe weapon of Perkins, as it descended and buried itself deep in the heart of the murderer, who fell without a groan. Stoop- ing' quickly, the avenger caught tho scalp lock of his fallen foe, and with one mo- tion of the blade, severed the scalp from the crown, and shaking tho gory trophy aloft, shouted, "OMB !" The next (lay's sun shone bright and clear, as a mournful procession issued from the block house, conducting the body of tho murdered girl to its last resting place. Having arrived at the new made grave, the simple rites were performed, and the corpse lowered, and many;; ln.i\ e j.ian's eye was wet with tears, as they turned away from the grave of her they "l.oved inlife BO much." One of the women approached, and laid a braid oi' dark brown hair in the hand of the. scout, which lie Dressed to his lips and then raising it aloft with one hand and pointing wit li the other to his coonskin cap, in the crown of which was aewed the scalp of Pierce, he said : "Comrades there is one j and for every hair in the braid shall one more of the scalps of 00 i I bo added ; and then going to the water's edge he launched a and pushed off toward the settle^ • aelit. In the : for our iadepehi Perkins did the colonies great service. That he fulfilled l'is vow we may be sure ; tor he became a terror to iSie Tories and savages, the latter 6f which, on accoum of the great nuanbet of scalps which adorned bis person, applied to him.tlie ti- tlo-of ".Scalp Lock," ar-il regarded !i T n as an almost supernatural being. <ii\e lw: jPDUT advice 1:1' Ifikl From the Chicago Tribune, Murcl: (jinmt a Failure.

But ivents have shown that they were, in ory deed, words of sober earnest and of jositive intent, A member of the Gabi- et has, since then, been removed from iis post simply because he would not ield his convictions of official duty to the ersonal wishes of the President; a coiu- nissioner of an important bureau, who las held his position under succeeding administrations, and whose integrity has lever been questioned, has met with a imilar fate for precisely the same reason ; md now tho threat in Mr. Simmer's case ms been fully carried out, and the i're-.i- lent is warmly congratulated, for a third ime, by his friends, that his personal Irishes are paramount to all cruestions of _)ublic welfare, or party decency, or patri- otic service, and are to be obeyed ut nil hazards. For the military services of General Grant the country is duly ; ful, and it has shown its gratitude by be- stowing upon him the highest office with- in its gift. But it has not forgotten, and t will be very careful now not to forget, hat this reward was bestowed upon tho s ildier and not upon the statesman. As a statesman, he is still upon trial with the -1-. •: 11 mass of his countrymen, .and, before they pronounce upon him the favorable judgment as a statesman that they have awarded to him as a soldier, they will trait to see whether he possesses any other qualities than those that made him a good ^h lie possessed and he displayed pne'selythe qualities that were needed, m the peculiar conjunction of circum- stances, in the genera] of an army duty it was to march to Richmond. Possibly the same quality may win in the On to Santo Domingo! liut the qn- is, whether that quality is the one which tho p :oplo most demand and most confide in in a civil ruler. The Constitution is not a military code, nor our body of laws the rules of a dram-head court-martial. The statesman rules with the cerebrum lielluni. ]n him we look for intellect and moral qualities of character; for large views of the affairs of government; for the highest considera- tion of the rights of tho people; for the abnegation of mere selfish purposes and ends, and the power to avail himself of i wisest counsel, mid to reach good re- suits for the common welfare. The sol- lay possess all these, but that pro- fusion does not necessarily call for their exhibition, for he may be a good fighter without them. Jt was with the hope that the soldier who fought so well might be equally valuable as a civil ruler that Grant was made President. Thus far the country is still, at best, in doubt as to whether it has most to fear or most to hope as to the results of that experiment. A President who departs so widely from the uniform example of all his predeces- sors, except in one disastrous instance, as to brook no difference of opinion in a co- ordinate branch of the government, and who resorts to the most despotic measures to COerce that Opinion, certainly does not command entire confidence as to mental and moral fitness to be the ruler of a free people. The President who recalcitrates against such a counsellor in most import- ant affairs as Charles Sumner, a man wise and honest and unyielding in his sincere convictions, and insists upon taking t;> his bosom such a counsellor as Simon Cameron, who is not wise, and who, if ho lias any convictions, holds to them only for convenience's sake; a President who throws aside, because they stand in the way of his views and his purposes, men in whose integrity the country knows it may confide ; a President most of whose chosen advisers sceni to be men of little wisdom and less character, and who seem to com- mend themselves to himchifiey because they are pliant to his will and know no higher law than to obey his behests; a President who, inmany things, as in civil reform and in the choice of officers to ad- minister different branches of the govern- ment, has certainly disappointed the pub- lic expectation, is not the President whom a confiding people expect to find ill Gen- eral Grant. Still anxiously and patient- ly waiting and looking for the fulfillment of that high promise with which tho Ad- ministration came into office, it is un- doubtedly a fact that the recent action of t!ie Seuaic, at the dictation of General Grant, lias caused a wide-spread anxiety COMPENSATION.

From the Doston Post. A Chai'tfcr Monarchy. Peace being concluded, on the basis of the Prussian ultimatum, M. Thiershas an- nounced his intention, as the head of the Provisional Government, to return to the Charter and order a plebiscite. As usual, it is the old political mosaic—the restric- tions of Louis XVIII., modified in no vital part by Louis Philippe, with the name of the popular gufeage first instituted, by Louis Napoleon. We need not be told that this movement is practically one fa- voring the Orleanists rather than a Itc- publio. The former have already shown, in tho newly olected National Assembly, the facility with which they can employ money in securinjr deputies from tho prov- inces ; with a plebiscite taken on the old Charter, we need not therefore inquire as to their probable activity or its natural results. They are doing all tho election- eering in France. The word Charter sounds well, and in the popular mind has a decided flavor of liberality; it will do, then, to look at the features of the one Thiers proposes to rebuild his monarchy upon. The original Charter, of Louie STIIL, contained an odious clause, known as the Fourteenth, which conferred upon thy Kin^r dictatorial authority ; and it was the straining of that clause, in the ordinan- ces of Prince. Polignac under Charles X., that led to the hitter's overthrow. Of course his intriguing successor, Louis Philippe, made a great show of modifying .•4. A...1 I- 313 1-. 1- -'J- <J T> From th« New Yoxh TUnofc Tho Now German Empire. The new Empire of Germany bogin* from this timo a career of immense Im- portance to tho world. Its population is tho second of the great States of Europe* Eussia leads it with 69,000,000; but, inji eluding Alsaco and Lorraine, Germany follows with 49; 120,000 of tho most indus- trious and intelligent inhabitants to b« found in any community of iho world- France; shorn of a largo part of her two provinces, comes next, with 36,430,000j and then the Austrian Monarchy, with 35,943,000, and Great Brituin, with 80,- 833,000; last of all being Italy, with Koine, counting 26,470,000 inhabitants. Even the preponderating population of the German Empire is no fair measure of its strength. Its position is central, whether tor military or moral influence. It is compact and homogeneous. All its' vast forces are under tho control of on© Executive and tho Parliament. Its lead* ing State—Prussia—is confessedly thff most intelligent, disciplined, and vigorous community in Europe The administra- tion is everywhere economical and thor- oughly well organized. Tho educational system of Prussia, its economy and thor-i ough disciplino will now bo spread through all the empire. Even this tre- mendous war will leave less debt on the- Empiro than it would on any other civil- ized Stats, Tho Hohenzoliern always made their enemies pay their war expen- ses, and no army lives at so little monoy- cost as the German. In our judgment, the " empire will bar peace," in a far better sense than was over true of the Napoleonic regime. The war has made terrihlo wounds in German homes. Almost every family has suffered* The very best of the people, as in our own war, have offered their lives for the coun-' try. All business and production havo* been interrupted. For a generation to' come, the masses will dread, and abhor war, and the people will seek their natur- al bent in trade, agriculture and manu- facture. The masses too, are to liav© more power in the new empire. The Parliament is to contain 382 members in the Lower House, chosen 'by unirersal suffrage. Many of th« trades unions and workingmen's associations are represented among theso. It is true that Prussia Daniel Webster The statement of Mr. Charles Francis Adams, that the American people cherish an undying hatred toward England, finds occasional corrolioration in the actions of our leading politicians. Nor do we here refer toCongressional resolutions in fa- vor of l'enianisni, nor to the national anger at Alabama depredations; we go back to a generation just passing away. No man Letter appreciated England and her institutions than Daniel Webster, ami yei IK- was unwilling to be known as one who would publicly praiao her. When 31r. Clay w.is Dominated for the Presidency for the last time, a mase-meet- ing was arranged in Boston, on tho Bea- con street side of tho Common. An open- airstand was erected for the speakers, and Mr. Webster v.as asked to preside, and to open tlie meeting with a speech. It was a pleasant, sunny day, and all Massachu- setts was there to do honor to the occa- sion and the nominee. As far as the voice could reach from the stand, nothing could be seen but a dense muss of expec- tant hearers. If we recollect aright, England had just taken one of our fishing vessels in her waters, and the Democracy were loudly declaring that, if they succeeded in the coming canvass, neither England nor any foreign power should dare to touch an American citizen. As Mr. Webster slowly arose to address the v!-i audience, :i man in the crowd at- tempted to catch his eye or ear, throwing up his hands, and exclaiming : "Mr. Webster I Mr. Webster V Cries broke out all around : "Stop your noise !" "Shut your mouth !" etc. But Mr. Webster quietly turned toward voice with: "Well, sir, md a suspicious watchfulness and appre- • !i w'nich it will by no means b. to do away with. Repartee. Wo find in the Gentlemen's Maffaeine, an anecdote of Gcorgo IV., which is said to bo new to print: At a small dinner-party at tho Carlton House, Colonel Hamlyn, one of the boon companions of the prince, told a story which, like most of the stories Of the regency, wag more distinguished by its point than i;.s propriety, When Col- Qnel Hamlyn finished it,the "first gentle- man in Europe" tilled his glass and threw its contents into his guest's face, saying, " J lanilyn, you are a blackguard." What was the Colonel to do? To challenge the regent was treason, and yet to return the insult in kind was to take a course which have compelled tho prince as a gen- tleman, to challenge the colonel, or to ask- some one to take up the quarrel for him. And yet to sit still was impossible. Col- onel Hamlyn solved the difficulty by till- ing his glass and throwing the wine into • •• <>f his next companion. " His Royal Highness' toast; pass it on I" This was wii in action. It sealed Colon ! Hauilyn's friendship with Ueorge IV. ilyn," he said, with a slap on (lie shoulder, " you're a Capitol fellow. Here's a toast to you." A thirsty Vermontor hitched his horse . :• freight car standing on aside-track while he proceeded te- ard a rfeighboring saloon, in quest of "tanglefoot." time, the freight train moved mi, and when the Vennonter returned his team was missing. Proceeding up the track, he cimn to a wrecked wagon, a wheel .i spoke fi" re, af£3 soon after stun- Ijled upon bhe poor horse, which had been choked to death eve the halter parted. the intrudin what is it':" •I want to know, Mr. Webster, if Eng- land or Canada take one of our citizens and put him in their jails, will Mr. Clay, if elected, take him out again, if he has to go to war for it ?" "Certainly he will, my friend; I pledge you that." "Then," said the interrupter, "he gets my vote, anyhow.!' Cries here again broke out: "Good for you!" But, just then, a voice exclaimed: "The English are all slaves!" Mr. Webster's face wore an expression of the deepest scorn, as, shaking his finger in the direction whence the voice came, he exclaimed : "The English all slaves'? My friends, where did your fathers come from :-" And (hen, looking slowly around, ho impressively continued: "All our best civil rights,—the trial by jury, tho fran- chise, the free press, tho law of libel, the common law,—nil, all came to us from England." Then, as if recollecting himself, he turn- ed to the reporters just behind him, and said, totto tore; " Don't put that in the papers to-morrow, gentlemen." He thus unconsciously bore witness to the unpopularity of being known to be a supporter of England. But the report- ers disobeyed him; the papers of the next day con!ained his remarks in full.—Ap- pelloa'a Journal. A Mother's Power. A moment's work on clay tells more than an hour's work on brick. So work on hearts should be dono before they harden. During tho first six or eight years of child-life mothers have chief and this is the time to make the deepest and most enduring impression on the human mind. The examples of maternal influence are countless. Solomon himself records the woids of wisdom that fell from a mother's lips, and Timothy was taught tho (Scrip- tures from a child, by his grandmother and his mother. John Randolph of Roanoke used to say, " I should have been a French atheist, were it not for tho recollection of the tune when my departed mother used to take my little hand in hers, and make me sny, on my bended knees, "Our Father who art in Heaven!" "I have found out what made you the man you are," said a gentleman one morn- ing tp President Adams; "I have been ing your mother's letters to her son." Washington's mother trained her boy to truthfulness and virtue; and when his messenger called to toll her that her son was raised to the highest station in the nation's gift she could say : " George always was a good boy." A mother's tears dropped on the head of her little boy one evening as he sat in the doorway and listened while she spoke of Christ and his salvation, "Those tears made me a missionary," said he, when he had given his manhood's prime to tho Lord. Some one asked Napoleon what was-tlio great need of the French nation." " Mothers !'•' was tho significant answer. Woman, has God given you the privil- eu'i B and responsibilities of motherhood : ihful, then, to the little ones; you hold the key of their heai-ts now. If you once lose it you would give the world to win it back; use your opportunities be- fore they pass. And remember, Iittlo ones, you will never have but ono mother. Obey and honor her; listen to her words, and God will bless you day by day. —_«*-«•• —*<a»»- •••!» — - An old lady was telling her grand- children ubout some troubles in Scoi Land, in tho course of whiot the chief of her clan was beheaded, "It was nae groat thing of a head, to be sure," said tie old lady, ••liut it was a sad hiss to him."

" What, are you doing." gald a father f" his son, who was tinkering an old watch. "Improving"raj time," WM the witty re- jpi&djA it. And how did he do it ? By compar- ing the leading features of tho original and modified Charter we shall at once see. We find the age of electors changed from twenty-one years under the Bourbon to twenty-five years under the •' Citizen King"; the necessary age of deputies changed from twenty-five under the form- er to thirty-one years under the latter; the duration of the Chamber of Deputies fixed at five years, and not subject to its former renewal of one-fifth of the body annually; the money qualification of voters placed at three hundred francs of direct taxes, or sixty dollars, precisely the samo as under Louis XV ill.; but—which ii the vital and central point of tho mat- ter, and was two years later conceded to the British people under open threats of revolution in the name of Reform—the ckil qualification of doctors was nowise changed from what it was \indor the Bourbon monarch. Tho much vaunted revolution begum with political proposals, and ended in tho revolt of socialism, be- gotten of an eighteen years' unbroken strife between capital and labor. Of course misery on all sides was the only re- sult. Every reader of the history of that struggle in KH. ' JO knows very well that France came out of it with an empty prize. England, in 1832, seized tho very treasure— enlarged popular suffrage— which Louis Philippe avoided giving up. The only changes made, then, in tho old Charter were comprised in the declara- tions concerning the responsibility of Ministers; concerning tho trial of the press for alleged crimes by juries ; the re- election of deputies who had accepted office ; the annual voting of the expenses of the army ; the establishment of a Na- tional Guard ; the matter of the pay of army and navy officers ; municipal and departmental institutions ; aud public ed- ucation and freedom of instruction. In lK.'Jl, the hereditary peerage was extin- guished, and the choice of members of the upper house was lodged in the Executive, whatever might be his title. It is matter of universal recollection, the names of the distinguished persons who, in view of this change, had resigned their rank at the cost of their utter impoverishment, Chat- eaubriand being of the famous number. As it was not against the Crown so much as the Aristocracy that the revolution was directed, the power of the new King be- came dangerously augmented, and under the modified Charter, too, which is the present idolatry of M. Thiers. Tl'e cur- rent theory was, not personal freedom and security from arbitrary power, but a bal- ancing of political rights under the spe- cious profes.'rion of equality. The result was what might have been expected; the entire authority of the state flowed from th" King. It is a tolcr.'itod pleasantry to style such a ruler tho Citizen King, nor is it very surprising that he soon after came to be known as the Target King. His throne rested on the army, the new Na- tional Guard, the Liberals of the middle class, and a part of the Liberal press. Patronage kept all together. Now it is worth while to revert to the suffrage theories of Louis Napoleon. In his message of November 4th, IS,")!, to the Legislature, he urgently advocated tie- re- peal of tho law of May 31st, which pla< ed material restrictions on universal suffrage, and proposed to substitute another, ex- cluding from the right to vote only those who had no doniicil and were convicted of crime. He would change a three years' domicil, to one of six months : and theso simple concessions to popular freedom would have restored the ballot to the three millions of citizens, of which the ex- isting law deprived them. This was the measure, as all know, that pr the December crisis. His Cabinet were against him on the question, but he re- fused to yield, and they were afterwards dismissed. The leaders of tho Assembly, Thiera among them, ware plotting a coup d'etat; but while consuming time in di- recting in whose interest it should \-v ex- ecuted, Louis Napoleon moved himself and put an end to their threatened anar- chy. Thiers has excellent reason to re- member the event, for it was he who re- marked that'-that fellow had only done by them what they meant to do by him." After this event, universal suffrage was included as the fundamental preposal, in Napoleon's proclamation to France, for the broad and strong eivation of a Legis- lative Body. Thiers is adroit, restless, flexible, and vain as ever in the move- ments he is now setting on foot. They all center in himself, as the fountain of in- fluence and the creator of kings. Still, we shall continue to hope the veteran politician nil the while means a Repub- lic. A good anecdote is told of Nelaton, tho great I'.iris doctor. Going through one of the streets of Paris, one day, he came upon a crowd standing in front of.^i drug store. There a man lay stretched out, who had been terribly wounded in the abdomen by a .sharp boggy shaft, so that a large part of his intestines protruded. His hie could be saved only by a difficult ami dangerous operation; but Nelaton was quite equal to tho occasion, and soon his patient, quite .a .worthy man, was sent home out. of danger. For throe weeks Nelaton heard nothing more of him, but then ho made his appearance and asked his preserver bow muoh he owed him. "Hundred and fifty francs," replied (he surgeon. "That is too much," said the man; "but give me a speoifiod bill—here is your money." Nelaton sat down and wrote as f,ii!( svs: "Foradjust- ing a metre and a half of x\\c intestinal Canal, at a hundred francs per metre, one hundred and fifty fiv A Efalesburg farmer, whose pew rent wa.> raised bo . 0re dollars, exclaim- ed: "Oto^tCeesar, here's a nice state of affairs the gospel going up and pork go ing dov, ii!

This portion of the German Par- liament will be essentially a popular body, and represent tho national, aspira* tions for peace and industrial progress. In the Upper House, which corresponds to our Senate, and represents States and princely families, Prussia has a much smaller proportion il representation—only seventeen out of titty-two, while Bavaria has six, Saxony four, and Wurtemberg four, and Baden aud Hesse three each. Thus those five States could in the House out-vote Prussia, if they so desired, yet Prussia presents 24039,000 inhabitants, while Bavaria contains but 4,824,000, Sax- ony 2,423,000, and Wurtemberg 1,778,000. One principality represented by one vote in each House—Schaumburg Lippe-~haa but the population of a small town, 31,- 000. The interest of tho future, both for Germany and thettorld, in the newPar- liament, lies in ftiu struggle, inevitable and iiitense, between the self-will and loyal power of the Hohenzoliern and the popular aspirations for greater liberty. The present Kniser is a martinet and be- lieves in " tho divine right," and therefore will be determined to have his own way without regard to constitutions. The Effects of Alcohol on the Human System. Alcohol forms no pai*t of the living body, and when taken into tho stomach is rapidly absorbed, or rather .permeates the membranes and the coats of the blood- vessels, and finds its (way into the blood, with which it forms no homogeneous mix- ture, but, alien like, is hurried along in the circulation, to bo eliminated, in great parts as speedily as possible, that which is retained producing very equivocal effect^ and in many instances painful and fatal diseases. It escapes by tho way of the lungs, as shown in the breath of those who have been drinking ardent spirits or strong wines, and also, by .the skin and kidneys. That portion of the alcohol which is retained in tho body accumulates most readily in the brain and liver, and it has been found in its pnre state after death in these organs, especially in the brain. The first manifest effects of an alcoholic liquor are on the brain and nervous system generally, on which it acts, in a small dose, as an excitant, and in a larger one. as a narcotic. Other parts are affected in a corresponding man- ner, being ut first stimulated, not strength- ened, and afterward retarded and weak- ened in their action. For example, the heart, that wonderful and, during life, never-ceasing pump, when its inner surface is reached by the tide of blood containing alcohol, works away so much the faster fogetridof the intruder; inso doing its machinery is needlessly strained, and if this be con- tinued from day to day is more apt to, be deranged and sooner worn oivt. < Tudor the operation of tho prolonged use of al- coholic liquors the heart often becomes hypertrophied or morbidly thickened, and at other times dilated and thinnej 1; in its substance ; or a still worse condition su- pervenes—its muscular texture is con- verted into fatty matter, and it fails to contract with the requisite force and reg- ularity, and is liable at anymoment to cease beating. Inthis sudden cessation of the heart's action is found an explana- tion of some of the sudden deaths of which we read. These destructive effects of tho use of alcoholic liquors are not by any means confined to drunkards; they are seen in persons who had never been in- toxicated during their lives, btit who had been regular drinkers of these Hquors. The liver is diseased in a similar manner from tho like cause.—From WHAT SHALL wi-: DRINK': in the April number of Lip- pincott's Mutiazine.

The incidents of the following storywere related to me when a. small boy, by
good and kind old man, the. favoriteof all children und the story-toller of theneighborhood, Israel Warner; he havingreceived it from his father, who was oneof the actors in many of the startling in-cidents which in> t>i make up the earlyhistory of AVhitehall, Colonel Seth War-ner.
There are people living among us, whocan remember when the marsh at thenorthern extremity of our village was ofsufficient depth to allow the HU>OJ>S andschooners, or any Bailing craft whose draftof water was not more than ten feet, todeliver their freight at the very placewhere now the thundering locomotive,with a shriek like that of a fiend, divesinto the earth, at the foot of Churchstreet.
At tho time of which I write, this nftrsh«s well us the ones on the east of ourharbor, formed with the new narrow chan-nel of Lake Ohainplain, one vast bay, orharbor. Those sandbars, upon which arenow piled millions of feet Of lumber, amioccupied by saw and steam planing mills,offices and dwellings, were known asCooke's Island ; and Cooko'a Island wasin truth an island at all times of tho year;and it is with this island that my siconnected. Header, upon this spot hap-pened one of the most bloody tragedies inthe unwritten history of those early set-tlers.
On this island the early settlers hadbuilt a small wooden fort, or block house,•Hu\ from which cause theisland was nam-ed Block House Island. 11 was surround-ed by a- l'i;/h wall, built close to the wa-ter's edge, on all sides except the west,this being protected by a perpendicularclitf some forty or fifty feet in height,which Was washed at the base by the wa-ters of the lake.
This place was selected by them on ac-count of its natural fortinaations, and be-cause it commanded a view of the wholeharbor, as a place of safety for the womenand children of the settlement to whichthey fled at the time of daritoer.
Mow the war of the Revolution had be-gun, and this place was garrisoned with asmall force, who at the approach of theenemy, was reinforced by the settlers, whoremoved the most valuable parts of theirproperty to the fort.
The armament was small; consisting offour old brass six pounders.
There may still be seen \ipon the sum-mit of this island, remains of that oldfort, which are just as fresh to-day asthey were twenty years ago ; while otherplaces of a like nature, in our vicinity,have been ploughed up or built over, andevery votive of their existence destroyed.

y yCapta in William Stuart , who was a t
t h a t t ime in command of Block HouseIsland, was informed by a scout and ahunter , whoso name was Perkins, t h a tGeneral Frazcr 'wi th one thousand Br i t -ish troops had a t tacked Colonel Warnerat Hubbaxdton, and the eoloniste, after asevere fight, became demoralized, and fledin all directions. H e also s tated t h a t livehundred Ind ians and Tories were coiningby way of Eas t Bay to Skeensboro, wi tha view of i ts destruction.
Scarcely had the commandant gatheredin the woman and children of the settle-ment , and made his a r rangements to repelthe attack, when night set in, clear andcloudless.
At about eleven o'clock, the enemy wasreported in sight. They were comingfrom the direction of East Bay in a largenumber of canoes and batteOUX, whileupon the land some of the forces were de-ployed as scouts. The whole force of theAmericans was about thr<-! hundred, one-half of whom were on the island, and therest ambushed in the woods on the moun-tain side, just below lvehosh-quamiaFalls. No sound, either at the fort or onthe shore, indicated thai the settlers were
of the approach of the enemy.On came the fleet of boats, silently dip-
ping their oars, hopeful of surprising theL and elated at the thought of the- ; • • • ud rich Bpi ii I ba| ^waited
them ; for this was a depot of supplies fora large extent of country.
Our soout, Thomas Perkins, was look-ing through a loop hole in the fort, Wfttoh-injr the movements of the fleet, until, asthe enemy drew near, he turned to hiscommander with a flashing eye, and hiss-ed through his clenchi d teeth :
"I suy, Captain Stuart, do you see thaiboal ahead tliar'r"
•Yes, Tom," he replied. What of it P""This of it," said the scout; "if Jim
Pierco ain't, in'that boat, hang me for aeonsarned ilabergasted Tory !"
"Jim l'ieree '." said the captain, "he isone of our friends, and I believe he has agood heart notwithstanding bis rough na-ture. He Was here yesterday and dinedwitb me. I think you are mistaken."
"Dined with you, Captain, did he!Did you warm that rattlesnake that's nowready to strike ye '< He's a Tory ! a spy—one ofBurgoyne's mosi valuable scouts.'
••1 harbored l'ieree, certainly," said theCaptain. "I thought him a fliend to our
: and he was recommended to me asa faithful scout, by my superior, ColonelWarner.
"Captain," said Tom, "I don't swear,coz Lucy Morgan axed me not to ; but.Jerewsalem • wouldn't I like ter rip outnow? twould den- me good. Has thaidarned skunk imposed on the Kernel tew?1 must put an end to your desaif, JimTierce ; for I have got the pill in oldThunderer's belly what was easVcd ipatting his long rifle as he spoke. "Nowsay yer prayers, for I'm goin' to spongeye out."
As he said this he brought the rifle tohis shoulder, but the Captain laying hishand on 'he scout's ami said :
"Wait until I give the order to com-n ence the battle, then you may turn yourattention to Pierce."
"That's allus the way," said Perkins,"when a feller lias a clear sight, and agood shot, but I kin v.
It is true that l'ieree had dined withthe Captain the day before, and had beenshown sill the defenses of the place, andPierce had noticed with keen eyes, thesmall garrison, and showing tho creden-tials given him by Colonel Warner, gain-ed all the knowledge of the place hesired ; and'after having lulled the captaininto security, by telling him that therewere no enemy in the country, and a !
supply was coming up the lake in chargeof Kthan Allen, the Captain made himthe bearer of dispatches to Gen. Sclnat Fort Edward, and he departed ostensi-bly on his mission : but in reality, to in-form Krazier of their almost defenselesscondition.
At Fairhaven, Pierce meeting with"Beed Deer," a chief of the Mohawks, anda band of Tories under one Remington,he considered this motion, as the poli-ticians say, and unfolded to them a planfor the sacking of Skeensboro. For hisshare in the spoils, all he asked was whatlie should take from the bodies of thosewhom he should slay, and that the girlLucy Morgan should be given him as hisprisoner. This was quickly agreed to,and thus, as we have seen, he lea on theattack.
During the dialogue just mentioned,the boats had all huddled together, as ii1their occupants were deciding upon themode of attack, they being about fortyrods from the island'. Soon the word tobe in readiness wns passed from man toman, and turning to Tom he said : "Nowsend your regard to Pierce, fire I"
Upon the instant, the east side of theBlock House belched forth one broadsheet of flame, as the six pounders, whichhad been loaded with musket i alls, andone hundred and fifty muskets and riflessent their messengers of death over thewaters of the harbor. The discharge hadtaken them completely by surprise, andhideous yells and shrieks arose from thecrowded fleet, which told the garrison thattheir tire had been well directed.
"There, cuss ye !" said ono of the gun-ners. «Ye red devils and black heartedcrabs, ye can now go to tophet dancing toyer own music. I kinder reckon old Ver-mont did yer biziness for ye that time."
Those sturdy patriots needed no orderto reload, but sprang to do so as soon aspossible, aud almost before the smoke hadcleared away, they were again in readi-ness.
"Cuss ye," gritted Perkins through hisclenched teeth, shaking his rifle, that'sthe second time ye've sarved me a scrub-by trick, when I've had ye pintcd at JimPierce.
The scout's rifle had missed fire, andhaving re-primed it, after carefully pick-ing the vent, he looked to see the extentof the damage done to the enemy.
Nearly one-half of their boats had beendestroyed, and those that were left, weremaking the best way to the shore, scat-tering themselves as much as possible,while Pierce was nowhero to bo seen.
Captain .Stuart then ordered tho men attho cannons to aim at the four boats near-est the shore, and that every rifle-mailshould endi avor to pick his man, and theorder of fire was given.
The matches were applied and triggerstouched and away sped the bullets to ad-minister their lessons of eternity. Thoresult, on account of the boats being sowidely scattered, was not so disastrous tothe enemy us at first, yet their loss wasalarming, and the survivors redoubledtheir efforts to reach tho shore.
"Lord see Yv.i claw ! go it ye red devils,hell's ahead !" said a settler as he rammedhome a bullet, and proceeded to prime hispiece. "I guess yell remember this littlesurprise party as long as ye wear liar."
By this time the party were at the shoreand were hastily disembarking. Tlievhad scarcely landed v> hen they receivedthe third discharge from the foi-t, and theambush on tho shore poured in theily fire which completely demoralized theremaining force and they fled in all di-rections, having lost full four fifths oftheir force.
"1 wonder where that rapscallion, JimPierce can bo," said the scout, turning tothe Captain. "I don't think he's goneunder, but of he ain't I'll be on his trailto-morrow ; and then it's him or me."
Soon the doors were opened and thewomen and children, who were in thounderground apartment out of harm'sway, came thronging up, anxious to seeif any of their loved ones were harmed.But when they found that the enemyhad not fired a shot, they were filled with
word! or stir a Hand or foot. The nextinstant he was at her side, his arm encir-cling her waist, and his hand pressedtightly over her month effectually pre-venting her uttering a word. He thendarted behind the rock that hail beforeconcealed him, and despite her strugglessucceeded in tying a handkerchief overthe girl's mouth, and binding her handand loot.
"Well, my pretty bird," Baid he, "per-haps you may want tec know how i cameh ire, and why I've captured ye. Well. Idon't mind tellin' ye. Ye see when yourfriends in there sent us their respects inthe first discharge, Remington yelled outtli it I'd betrayed 'em, and Bred iiis pistolat in". I knew that my life wasn'4 worth•t shuck, so I just flopped overboard, pro-
ng I was wounded, and managi d togit out o'their splintered boats atweenem and me, and when they go1 away, 1swum hare : but I didn't expect tho pleas-ure o' see-in' you. Now, I'm goin' to waithero till everything's quiet up there, andthen I'm goin1 to rekonitor, put th" senti-nels to sleep, and make a blaze o' tha! oldblockhouse. Artor that I'm oomin'backhere an1 tike you and make yer sorry yesaid 'no' tow me, when I axed you to bemy wife. How docs that ar little plansuityori Now, yer see, if you don't be-h ive purty handsuni, I'll make 8 pTOSenion yer to my friend, Bod Deer, when 1get through witb ye ; so now, set up andlet's have a good talk, an' don't be throw-in' yerself down on yer face. Ye m in'.anser, ye know, I'll do that for ye."
The maiden, by continued efforts, allast succeeded in removing the bandageiVo.n her mouth : and gathering1 al] herstrength, senl forth a shriek that ranglike a clarion through the island.
"Curse ye ! ye yelled like a catamount !Take that an' stop your nois'," said Piercedealing her a blow that completely stun-ned her. He then caught her in his armsand turned to flee, just as the garjison,headed by Captain Stuart and Perkinscame up and demanded his surrender. •
Never ' " said the villain ; but I've gotyer gal, an' ye can have her, but this isthe way I'll surrender her tu ye I" and hodrove his knife to the shaft in the bosonof Lucy Morgan.
With ft yell of agony and rage the scoutCaught Pierce by the throat, and wrench-ed the knife from his grasp, drew back hishand to plunge it to the murderer's heart,when his fool slipped and ho fell, and theknife flew from his hand
Pierce sprang into a run ; but he hadmade but one or two leaps, before a dozenstrong hands were laid upon him, and hewas held as in a vice.
Perkins, on rising to his feet, heard hisname called in a weak voice by the woun-ded maiden. With such a groan as Godin his mercy suffers not twice to escapethe same breast, he turned to the maidenwhoso bonds had been severed, and en-deavored to staunch the blood that flowedfrom her breast. She looked up with asweet smile and said :
"It's of no avail, Tom ; I am go:join my mother and friends in that home
a the sky.""No, no!" cried Perkins, '-you must
you shall live! See, I have stopped thebio «11"
"Don't deocivc yourself, Tom."Lucy, "the wound is bleeding internally,
* a f'.w moments i donowith the things of time : but I am I'ful that I have been the means of savingmany lives." She then unfolded the wholedeviiish plot of Pierce, to murder the sen-tinels and fire the fort ; adding—"Go<has made me the instrument for thing of the lives of many, and I ampy. Don!t grieve Tom. Kiss me. Good-by."
The fair hands relaxed their ho]with a look of unutterable love, her sou'winged its flight toward heaven.
Tenderly those tough men lifted tincorpse of Lucy Morgan, and sadly thejbore her to the block house. Tom followed like one in a dream, and left her nountil the weeping women, with genthforce, parted them to compose that lovehform for its last resting place.
"Mechanically the bereaved young manmoved out of the block house, when hisaw Pierce standing sullenly between tw<of his captors. The sight called back hiwandering senses : and with a look of tin
intense hate ho leaped forwardshouting:
'Mine! mine must be the hand thapunishes him ! Give him to me I'1
"Of course," said Pierce, "you can mur-der mo if you want to, for you're amonyour friends and ye know yer safe ; bn
ren't fight me. Just put a knife into my hand, and in five minutes Ivin:George will have one the less enemies anthe devil one more recruit."
The sneering tone in which this speedwas uttered, slung the scout to the lasdegree of madness.
"Liar!" he cried. Then turning to hicomrades, he said:
"Give him a knife, and I'll prove thim what I say."
A knife was slipped into the hand oeach, and they stood face to fa-ce, glariniat each other like wild beasts. Neithespoke ; but one might see the determimtion to kill or fall beneath the knife. Simolteneously th< g forward, an<their knives clashed. The blows full thicand fast. Here and there, advancing anretreating, with foot to foot, ana ejglaring into eye, they fought. Doth wenmasters of that favorite weapon of theearly settlers, the hunting knife, and fora time neither seem< d to have the ad-vantage. At last the wen]ion of Perkinswas seen to have lost its sheen ; the blood

, y fied witgratitude to Heaven, and each sent up asilent prayer of thanksgiving to the Godof battles.
Lucy Morgan and the scout were seat-ed in the comer of the fort, enjoying aMe a Me that is so dear to all lovers. ButI am not writing a love story, and whatthey said must remain a secret, particu-larly as no one heard the conversation butthemselves. Hour after hour sped on, bnithey took no note of the time, thfijso happy in each other's society ; untilPerkins heard his name called by the Cap-tain, and he went to him at one I.
Lucy sat for some time thinkinthe events of the last few hours. At last
•.nd went out of tho block houseinto the open air. She strolled along,communing with her own thoughts, un-
-iis of where she was going untilshe found herself at the southern extrem-ity of the island. A slight noise at in rside caused her to look up, and there shesaw a sight thai almost froze tfaebloodwithin her veins. It was the face Of herrejected lover, .James Pierce. She was goastonished that she i <•"' • tei' a
dripped from it in swifter circles it sweptover his head. Still the fight raged on,until the scout drove his knife throughthe forearm of Pierce, rendering himpowerless. Quick as lightning flashed theweapon of Perkins, as it descended andburied itself deep in the heart of themurderer, who fell without a groan. Stoop-ing' quickly, the avenger caught tho scalplock of his fallen foe, and with one mo-tion of the blade, severed the scalp fromthe crown, and shaking tho gory trophyaloft, shouted, "OMB !"
The next (lay's sun shone bright andclear, as a mournful procession issued fromthe block house, conducting the body oftho murdered girl to its last resting place.Having arrived at the new made grave,the simple rites were performed, and thecorpse lowered, and many;; ln.i\ e j.ian'seye was wet with tears, as they turnedaway from the grave of her they
"l.oved in life BO much."
One of the women approached, andlaid a braid oi' dark brown hair in thehand of the. scout, which lie Dressed tohis lips and then raising it aloft with onehand and pointing wit li the other to hiscoonskin cap, in the crown of which wasaewed the scalp of Pierce, he said :
"Comrades there is one j and for everyhair in the braid shall one more of thescalps of 00 i I bo added ; and thengoing to the water's edge he launched a

From the Chicago Tribune, Murcl:
(jinmt a Failure.Tho Senators who, in obedience to tho
ommands of the President, so indecentlyurried through the Senate the removalf Mr. Sumner from tho position he had0 long and so ably filled as Chairman ofe Committee cm Foreign Relations,
dingly unfortunate ill the pleashey offered ID extenuation of that act.?hey ili<i not raise the question of hisbility, or of his past services ; they studi-lusly refrained from any consideration ofis knowledge of international law, hisu-rfeet-familiarity wilhall the relations>f our own government with other gov-rinnents, and the car. ful study he has sooug given to the constitutional bearingsp in those relations. * * * * * *o disagree with tho President's policyas come to be considered as a personalifferenoe, and a, personal difference iseld to be sufficient ground for political•sir-icisni. It was months ago declaredhat Mr. Simmer's attitude on the annex-tion of Santo Domingo demanded thate should be removed from his post in thoCommittee on Foreign. Relations. Soions!rous an assumption of . Executivelower over a co-ordinate branch of thegovernment was received, at tho time,ttther as an out-burst of the spleneticictulance of a partisan than the sobermnouncement to make a political innova-
tion in our system of government. Butivents have shown that they were, inory deed, words of sober earnest and ofjositive intent, A member of the Gabi-et has, since then, been removed from
iis post simply because he would notield his convictions of official duty to theersonal wishes of the President; a coiu-nissioner of an important bureau, wholas held his position under succeedingadministrations, and whose integrity haslever been questioned, has met with aimilar fate for precisely the same reason ;md now tho threat in Mr. Simmer's casems been fully carried out, and the i're-.i-lent is warmly congratulated, for a thirdime, by his friends, that his personalIrishes are paramount to all cruestions of_)ublic welfare, or party decency, or patri-otic service, and are to be obeyed ut nilhazards. For the military services ofGeneral Grant the country is duly ;ful, and it has shown its gratitude by be-stowing upon him the highest office with-in its gift. But it has not forgotten, andt will be very careful now not to forget,hat this reward was bestowed upon tho
s ildier and not upon the statesman. As astatesman, he is still upon trial with the
-1-. •: 11 mass of his countrymen, .and, beforethey pronounce upon him the favorablejudgment as a statesman that they haveawarded to him as a soldier, they willtrait to see whether he possesses any otherqualities than those that made him a good
^h lie possessed and he displayedpne'selythe qualities that were needed,m the peculiar conjunction of circum-stances, in the genera] of an army
duty it was to march to Richmond.Possibly the same quality may win in theOn to Santo Domingo! liut the qn-is, whether that quality is the one whichtho p :oplo most demand and most confidein in a civil ruler. The Constitution isnot a military code, nor our body of lawsthe rules of a dram-head court-martial.The statesman rules with the cerebrum
lielluni. ]n him welook for intellect and moral qualities ofcharacter; for large views of the affairs ofgovernment; for the highest considera-tion of the rights of tho people; for theabnegation of mere selfish purposes andends, and the power to avail himself ofi wisest counsel, mid to reach good re-
suits for the common welfare. The sol-lay possess all these, but that pro-
fusion does not necessarily call for theirexhibition, for he may be a good fighterwithout them. Jt was with the hope thatthe soldier who fought so well might beequally valuable as a civil ruler thatGrant was made President. Thus far thecountry is still, at best, in doubt as towhether it has most to fear or most tohope as to the results of that experiment.A President who departs so widely fromthe uniform example of all his predeces-sors, except in one disastrous instance, asto brook no difference of opinion in a co-ordinate branch of the government, andwho resorts to the most despotic measuresto COerce that Opinion, certainly does notcommand entire confidence as to mentaland moral fitness to be the ruler of a freepeople. The President who recalcitratesagainst such a counsellor in most import-ant affairs as Charles Sumner, a man wiseand honest and unyielding in his sincereconvictions, and insists upon taking t;>his bosom such a counsellor as SimonCameron, who is not wise, and who, if holias any convictions, holds to them onlyfor convenience's sake; a President whothrows aside, because they stand in theway of his views and his purposes, men inwhose integrity the country knows it mayconfide ; a President most of whose chosenadvisers sceni to be men of little wisdomand less character, and who seem to com-mend themselves to him chifiey becausethey are pliant to his will and know nohigher law than to obey his behests; aPresident who, in many things, as in civilreform and in the choice of officers to ad-minister different branches of the govern-ment, has certainly disappointed the pub-lic expectation, is not the President whoma confiding people expect to find ill Gen-eral Grant. Still anxiously and patient-ly waiting and looking for the fulfillmentof that high promise with which tho Ad-ministration came into office, it is un-doubtedly a fact that the recent action oft!ie Seuaic, at the dictation of GeneralGrant, lias caused a wide-spread anxiety

From the Doston Post.A Chai'tfcr Monarchy.
Peace being concluded, on the basis ofthe Prussian ultimatum, M. Thiershas an-nounced his intention, as the head of theProvisional Government, to return to theCharter and order a plebiscite. As usual,it is the old political mosaic—the restric-tions of Louis XVIII., modified in no vitalpart by Louis Philippe, with the name ofthe popular gufeage first instituted, byLouis Napoleon. We need not be toldthat this movement is practically one fa-voring the Orleanists rather than a Itc-publio. The former have already shown,in tho newly olected National Assembly,the facility with which they can employmoney in securinjr deputies from tho prov-inces ; with a plebiscite taken on the oldCharter, we need not therefore inquire asto their probable activity or its naturalresults. They are doing all tho election-eering in France. The word Chartersounds well, and in the popular mind hasa decided flavor of liberality; it will do,then, to look at the features of the oneThiers proposes to rebuild his monarchyupon.
The original Charter, of Louie STI IL ,contained an odious clause, known as theFourteenth, which conferred upon thyKin^r dictatorial authority ; and it was thestraining of that clause, in the ordinan-ces of Prince. Polignac under Charles X.,that led to the hitter's overthrow. Ofcourse his intriguing successor, LouisPhilippe, made a great show of modifying.•4. A . . . 1 I- 313 1 - . 1 - -'J- <J T>
From th« New Yoxh TUnofcTho Now German Empire.
The new Empire of Germany bogin*from this timo a career of immense Im-portance to tho world. Its population istho second of the great States of Europe*Eussia leads it with 69,000,000; but, injieluding Alsaco and Lorraine, Germanyfollows with 49; 120,000 of tho most indus-trious and intelligent inhabitants to b«found in any community of iho world-France; shorn of a largo part of her twoprovinces, comes next, with 36,430,000 jand then the Austrian Monarchy, with35,943,000, and Great Brituin, with 80,-833,000; last of all being Italy, withKoine, counting 26,470,000 inhabitants.Even the preponderating population ofthe German Empire is no fair measure ofits strength. Its position is central,whether tor military or moral influence.It is compact and homogeneous. All its'vast forces are under tho control of on©Executive and tho Parliament. Its lead*ing State—Prussia—is confessedly thffmost intelligent, disciplined, and vigorouscommunity in Europe The administra-tion is everywhere economical and thor-oughly well organized. Tho educationalsystem of Prussia, its economy and thor-iough disciplino will now bo spreadthrough all the empire. Even this tre-mendous war will leave less debt on the-Empiro than it would on any other civil-ized Stats, Tho Hohenzoliern alwaysmade their enemies pay their war expen-ses, and no army lives at so little monoy-cost as the German.
In our judgment, the " empire will barpeace," in a far better sense than was overtrue of the Napoleonic regime. The warhas made terrihlo wounds in Germanhomes. Almost every family has suffered*The very best of the people, as in our ownwar, have offered their lives for the coun-'try. All business and production havo*been interrupted. For a generation to'come, the masses will dread, and abhorwar, and the people will seek their natur-al bent in trade, agriculture and manu-facture. The masses too, are to liav©more power in the new empire. TheParliament is to contain 382 members inthe Lower House, chosen 'by unirersalsuffrage. Many of th« trades unions andworkingmen's associations are representedamong theso. It is true that Prussia

Nor do we hererefer to Congressional resolutions in fa-vor of l'enianisni, nor to the nationalanger at Alabama depredations; we goback to a generation just passing away.
No man Letter appreciated Englandand her institutions than Daniel Webster,ami yei IK- was unwilling to be known asone who would publicly praiao her.
When 31r. Clay w.is Dominated for thePresidency for the last time, a mase-meet-ing was arranged in Boston, on tho Bea-con street side of tho Common. An open-airstand was erected for the speakers, andMr. Webster v.as asked to preside, and toopen tlie meeting with a speech. It wasa pleasant, sunny day, and all Massachu-setts was there to do honor to the occa-sion and the nominee. As far as thevoice could reach from the stand, nothingcould be seen but a dense muss of expec-tant hearers.
If we recollect aright, England hadjust taken one of our fishing vessels in herwaters, and the Democracy were loudlydeclaring that, if they succeeded in thecoming canvass, neither England nor anyforeign power should dare to touch anAmerican citizen.
As Mr. Webster slowly arose to addressthe v!-i audience, :i man in the crowd at-tempted to catch his eye or ear, throwingup his hands, and exclaiming :
"Mr. Webster I Mr. Webster VCries broke out all around : "Stop your

Whatwas the Colonel to do? To challenge theregent was treason, and yet to return theinsult in kind was to take a course which
have compelled tho prince as a gen-tleman, to challenge the colonel, or to ask-some one to take up the quarrel for him.And yet to sit still was impossible. Col-onel Hamlyn solved the difficulty by till-ing his glass and throwing the wine into

"Certainly he will, my friend; I pledgeyou that."
"Then," said the interrupter, "he getsmy vote, anyhow.!'
Cries here again broke out: "Good foryou!"
But, just then, a voice exclaimed: "TheEnglish are all slaves!"
Mr. Webster's face wore an expressionof the deepest scorn, as, shaking his fingerin the direction whence the voice came,he exclaimed : "The English all slaves'?My friends, where did your fathers comefrom :-"
And (hen, looking slowly around, hoimpressively continued: "All our bestcivil rights,—the trial by jury, tho fran-chise, the free press, tho law of libel, thecommon law,—nil, all came to us fromEngland."
Then, as if recollecting himself, he turn-ed to the reporters just behind him, andsaid, totto tore; " Don't put that in thepapers to-morrow, gentlemen."
He thus unconsciously bore witness tothe unpopularity of being known to be asupporter of England. But the report-ers disobeyed him ; the papers of the nextday con!ained his remarks in full.—Ap-pelloa'a Journal.

it. And how did he do it ? By compar-ing the leading features of tho originaland modified Charter we shall at oncesee. We find the age of electors changedfrom twenty-one years under the Bourbonto twenty-five years under the •' CitizenKing"; the necessary age of deputieschanged from twenty-five under the form-er to thirty-one years under the latter;the duration of the Chamber of Deputiesfixed at five years, and not subject to itsformer renewal of one-fifth of the bodyannually; the money qualification ofvoters placed at three hundred francs ofdirect taxes, or sixty dollars, precisely thesamo as under Louis XV i l l . ; but—whichii the vital and central point of tho mat-ter, and was two years later conceded tothe British people under open threats ofrevolution in the name of Reform—theckil qualification of doctors was nowisechanged from what it was \indor theBourbon monarch. Tho much vauntedrevolution begum with political proposals,and ended in tho revolt of socialism, be-gotten of an eighteen years' unbrokenstrife between capital and labor. Ofcourse misery on all sides was the only re-sult.
Every reader of the history of thatstruggle in KH.'JO knows very well thatFrance came out of it with an emptyprize. England, in 1832, seized tho verytreasure— enlarged popular suffrage—which Louis Philippe avoided giving up.The only changes made, then, in tho oldCharter were comprised in the declara-tions concerning the responsibility ofMinisters; concerning tho trial of thepress for alleged crimes by juries ; the re-election of deputies who had acceptedoffice ; the annual voting of the expensesof the army ; the establishment of a Na-tional Guard ; the matter of the pay ofarmy and navy officers ; municipal anddepartmental institutions ; aud public ed-ucation and freedom of instruction. InlK.'Jl, the hereditary peerage was extin-guished, and the choice of members of theupper house was lodged in the Executive,whatever might be his title. I t is matterof universal recollection, the names of thedistinguished persons who, in view of thischange, had resigned their rank at thecost of their utter impoverishment, Chat-eaubriand being of the famous number.As it was not against the Crown so muchas the Aristocracy that the revolution wasdirected, the power of the new King be-came dangerously augmented, and underthe modified Charter, too, which is thepresent idolatry of M. Thiers. Tl'e cur-rent theory was, not personal freedom andsecurity from arbitrary power, but a bal-ancing of political rights under the spe-cious profes.'rion of equality. The resultwas what might have been expected; theentire authority of the state flowed fromth" King. It is a tolcr.'itod pleasantry tostyle such a ruler tho Citizen King, nor isit very surprising that he soon after cameto be known as the Target King. Histhrone rested on the army, the new Na-tional Guard, the Liberals of the middleclass, and a part of the Liberal press.Patronage kept all together.
Now it is worth while to revert to thesuffrage theories of Louis Napoleon. Inhis message of November 4th, IS,")!, to theLegislature, he urgently advocated tie- re-peal of tho law of May 31st, which pla< edmaterial restrictions on universal suffrage,and proposed to substitute another, ex-cluding from the right to vote only thosewho had no doniicil and were convictedof crime. He would change a three years'domicil, to one of six months : and thesosimple concessions to popular freedomwould have restored the ballot to thethree millions of citizens, of which the ex-isting law deprived them. This was themeasure, as all know, that prthe December crisis. His Cabinet wereagainst him on the question, but he re-fused to yield, and they were afterwardsdismissed. The leaders of tho Assembly,Thiera among them, ware plotting a coupd'etat; but while consuming time in di-recting in whose interest it should \-v ex-ecuted, Louis Napoleon moved himselfand put an end to their threatened anar-chy. Thiers has excellent reason to re-member the event, for it was he who re-marked that'-that fellow had only doneby them what they meant to do by him."After this event, universal suffrage wasincluded as the fundamental preposal, inNapoleon's proclamation to France, forthe broad and strong eivation of a Legis-lative Body. Thiers is adroit, restless,flexible, and vain as ever in the move-ments he is now setting on foot. Theyall center in himself, as the fountain of in-fluence and the creator of kings. Still,we shall continue to hope the veteranpolitician nil the while means a Repub-lic.
A good anecdote is told of Nelaton, thogreat I'.iris doctor. Going through oneof the streets of Paris, one day, he cameupon a crowd standing in front of. i drugstore.

This portion of the German Par-liament will be essentially a popularbody, and represent tho national, aspira*tions for peace and industrial progress.In the Upper House, which correspondsto our Senate, and represents States andprincely families, Prussia has a muchsmaller proportion il representation—onlyseventeen out of titty-two, while Bavariahas six, Saxony four, and Wurtembergfour, and Baden aud Hesse three each.Thus those five States could in the Houseout-vote Prussia, if they so desired, yetPrussia presents 24039,000 inhabitants,while Bavaria contains but 4,824,000, Sax-ony 2,423,000, and Wurtemberg 1,778,000.One principality represented by one votein each House—Schaumburg Lippe-~haabut the population of a small town, 31,-000.
The interest of tho future, both forGermany and the tt orld, in the new Par-liament, lies in ftiu struggle, inevitableand iiitense, between the self-will andloyal power of the Hohenzoliern and thepopular aspirations for greater liberty.The present Kniser is a martinet and be-lieves in " tho divine right," and thereforewill be determined to have his own waywithout regard to constitutions.
The Effects of Alcohol on the HumanSystem.
Alcohol forms no pai*t of the livingbody, and when taken into tho stomachis rapidly absorbed, or rather .permeatesthe membranes and the coats of the blood-vessels, and finds its (way into the blood,with which it forms no homogeneous mix-ture, but, alien like, is hurried along inthe circulation, to bo eliminated, in greatparts as speedily as possible, that which isretained producing very equivocal effect^and in many instances painful and fataldiseases. I t escapes by tho way of thelungs, as shown in the breath of thosewho have been drinking ardent spirits orstrong wines, and also, by .the skin andkidneys. That portion of the alcoholwhich is retained in tho body accumulatesmost readily in the brain and liver, andit has been found in its pnre state afterdeath in these organs, especially in thebrain. The first manifest effects of analcoholic liquor are on the brain andnervous system generally, on which itacts, in a small dose, as an excitant, andin a larger one. as a narcotic. Otherparts are affected in a corresponding man-ner, being ut first stimulated, not strength-ened, and afterward retarded and weak-ened in their action.
For example, the heart, that wonderfuland, during life, never-ceasing pump,when its inner surface is reached by thetide of blood containing alcohol, worksaway so much the faster fo get rid of theintruder; in so doing its machinery isneedlessly strained, and if this be con-tinued from day to day is more apt to, bederanged and sooner worn oivt. < Tudorthe operation of tho prolonged use of al-coholic liquors the heart often becomeshypertrophied or morbidly thickened, andat other times dilated and thinnej1; in itssubstance ; or a still worse condition su-pervenes—its muscular texture is con-verted into fatty matter, and it fails tocontract with the requisite force and reg-ularity, and is liable at any moment tocease beating. In this sudden cessationof the heart's action is found an explana-tion of some of the sudden deaths of whichwe read. These destructive effects of thouse of alcoholic liquors are not by anymeans confined to drunkards; they areseen in persons who had never been in-
toxicated during their lives, btit who hadbeen regular drinkers of these Hquors.The liver is diseased in a similar mannerfrom tho like cause.—From WHAT SHALLwi-: DRINK' : in the April number of Lip-pincott's Mutiazine.

V WOBD TO DEMOCRATS.The Democratic County Convention,
held on Tuesday, completed the generalticket to be supported at the comingelection, April 3d, by nominating candi-dates for Superintendent of Schools andDrain Commissioner.
MICHAEL D. HOWARD, of Manchester,was nominated for County Superinten-dent of Schools ; and, which is the bestkind of an endorsement, over so well-known and strong a Democrat as OBBH"THATCHER, of Sylvan. We are not per-sonally acquainted with Mr. HOWABD,but men of both parties who have knownhim for years assure us that he is a youngman of unexceptional character, andthoroughly qualified for tho position.Ho is both a practical teacher and1 an; ex-perienced" school inspector, having heldthat office several years. Ho is now inthe Law Department of the University,from which he will graduate noxt week.
Tho candidate for Drain Commissioner,DAVID M. FIX'.KY, is well-known in thocentral portion of tho county, and in factwe may say throughout the county, hav-ing been actively connected with tho Ag-ricultural Society, of which he is nowSecretary. Ho is an old resident of thecounty, and possesses the various qualifi-cations necessary to the administration ofso important an office. We hesitate notto say that, if elected, ho will dischargethe duties devolving upon him faithfully,promptly, intelligently, honestly, and assatisfactorily to those interested as is pos-sible : remembei'ing that no Drain Com-missioner can satisfy everybody. I t is agood nomination. Mr. FABSHALL, whohas so long and so creditably dischargedtho onerous duties of tho office, did notdesire a re-election.
As Washtenaw is a Democratic Countyii is only necessary to give these candi-dates the Democratic vote to secure theirelection, and we hope to be able to re-port a full vote with tho usual or increas-ed majoritiex in each town. RememberNew Hampshire and go in to win.
— It is time that tho Democrats werestirring themselves in every town in thecounty, and making ready in earnest fortheir local Sections. The caucuses shouldbe generally attended, and tho best andfittest and strongest men nominated, fromSupervisor down to Constable ; and thentho voters should bo brought out and th e
tickets elected. If tho Democracy arccaught " napping " now, we shall not boin good trim for the next general cam-paign. " A word" to the wise is sufficient."
TOO PLAIN SPOKZN;The Washington correspondent of the
N. Y. Keening Pout, who bas been secre-tary to a Senate committee, has been dis-harged. Reason : the Post—like SUM-
NF.I:—opposes tho San Domingo schemeof GRAN'T, and besides talks plain Eng-lish about the BUTLER Ku-Klux bill, as"ollows: " If such an act were passed,tending to interfere with civil order, todisturb the authorities of the peace, es-tablishing commissioners in every coun-ty to wrest his prisoners from tho sheriffand stop his process, what would be thoduty of the State officers? Plainly toresist such men at all hazards. Were it
' attempted in New York or Massachu-setts, the army and navy of the UnitedStates could not enforce such a billfor an hour. The law-abiding mindand conscience of every free citizenwould sustain tho Constitution and theprinciple of free government againsttho usurpation ; and this rebellionagainst tho Union, though expressed in
' an act of Congress and sustained by anadministration at Washington, wouldbe put down as resolutely as was thelast." Tho Post must oil its words if it
would be considered "loil" at Washing-on, and entitled to any favors, official ortherwise.
THE LEGISLATURE.• In the Senate, on Friday last, !.'• 0Gov. BATKS, presiding officer of that body,asked and was granted leawof absonoofor tho remainder of the session. Thospeeches made on tho affecting occasion.ofhis Lonving were highly complimentary,but remind us of that oft-quoted " \ i

IT IS now charged that President G&AHTs a part owner of the " Seneca redstoneuarry" from which the government isuying largely at enormous prices. Thiss the speculation to which Gen.

On tho 16th inst., the Senate, by a voteof yeas, 22; nays, 7, passed Senate billNo. 151, being "a bill to amend sections1(562 and lflf)3 of tho compiled laws,being sections 2 and 3 of the act entitled"of the manufacture and sale of intoxi-cating drinks as a beverage-,'" approvedFeb. 3d., 1855. The nays wero Senators,Gay, Mann, Price, Romeyn, Sheley. W;i-terbury, and Wood. I t provides morestringent penalties for the seller, and alsosubjects the drinker—if he gets drunk—or be drunk in in any public place—tofine and imprisonment. If the Houseagrees to the bill we shall publish it infull.
Tho House journal of Saturday last dis-closes a not very reputable piece of legis-lation, and BBS BUTLEB might be justi-fied in denouncing it as a " trick." Onpage 955 wo road that the committeeon judiciary, to whom was referred "a billto provide for and regulate tho taking oftestimony in divorce cases," reported thesame back with a substitute, recommend-ing that its action be concurred in andtho substitute passed. Tho House imme-diately concurred in tho recommendationof the committee, suspended tho rules,put the bill on its passage, and passed itwith but four dissenting votes. Then Mr.GROSVEXOI;, who reported the bill, movedthat the title bo amended so as to read:" A bill to provide for tho appointment ofthree suitable persons commissioners todraft and proparc a bill for the organiza-tion of cities and villages by a generallaw, as contemplated by article 15, section13 of the constitution." His nvotion pre-vailed and the amended titlo was agreedto. Then the divorce testimony bill be-came something else, the horse-chestnutwas changed into a chestnut horse, thed—1 was whipped around the stump verythinly disguised, and a plain provision ofthe constitution, prohibiting the introduc-tion of new bills after the first fifty daysof the session shall have expired, was vio-lated.
The Senate is as deep in tho mud as theHouse is in the mire, having, on the 1'itliinst., " doctored " over " a bill for shortform of deeds and mortgages for the con-veyance of real property " into " a bill toamend an act entitled an act to revise thechartcc o£ she city of Grand Rapids," etc.Such legislation is disgraceful, and Gov.BALDWIN owes it to himself and the Stateto veto nil bills so surreptitiously intro-duced and passed. If ho docs not theywill not—in our humble opinion at least—be worth the paper on which they maybe enrolled. Tho journal itself furnish-es tho evidence on which the SupremeCourt would be compelled to declare themvoid.
The Senate on Saturday, and the Houseon Monday, passed a concurrent resolu-tion providing for the payment of " post-age on mail matter received by the mem-bers." As all postage must be pre-paid atthe mailing office, what can such a reso-lution mean ? Isn't it cabbaging on a verysmall scale, and unworthy honorable mem-bers of a Legislature ? No wonder thoHouse rejected tho motion of Hon. J. J.ADAM to refer the resolution to tho com-mittee on State affairs. I t wouldn't bearinvestigation.
In the House, Senate bill No. 1G0, mak-ing appropriations for tho Deaf, Dumband Blind Asylum for 1871 and 1872, andHouse bill No. 170, covering the sameground but differing in some of its fea-tures, were taken from the committee ofthe whole and made the special order for2 o'clock P. M. of yesterday. Senate billNo. 56, making appropriations for an ad-dition to the Insane Asylum, was on theHouse special order for 9 1-2 o'clock A. M.,yesterday.
The " indeterminate sentence bill," acrude scheme " put up" by Mr. BIIOCK-¥AY, of the Detroit Houso of Correction,met defeat in the House on Tuesday, byyeas, 26; nays, 43. We commend tho goodsense of the Legislature. The bill provi-ding for an additional State NormalSchool came to grief at tho same timeand place, yeas, 11; nays, 29. The Legis-lature probably thought it better to makesomethingmorethanagood high school ofthe one Normal School on its hands beforestarting another. A bill to provide fortho payment of board by pupils in thoDeaf, Dumb and Blind Asylum at Flint,unless their parents would confess to pau-perism, was also killed, yeas, 27; nays,•17. Also Senate bill No. 78, conferringcertain powers upon manufacturing com-panies, yeas, 33; nays, 44. I t was evi-dently an " off day " in the House.
On Tuesday, the 23d, the Senate passethe following bills of general importanceA bill to re-organize the 2d, 4th, 5th, 6th7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 13th, and 16tjudicial circuits. By this bill Livingstocounty is incorporated in this circuit, anIngham taken out. A bill to revise thlaws for the incorporation of railroad's ;bill to add certain sections to the generarailroad law. A joint resolution ameniling the constitution as to judicial salarieand circuits was agreed to in committeof the whole ; and one providing for thpayment of railroad bonds issued beforthe decision of tho Supreme Court lost oiits passage, lacking one vote. We arc sorry to see that Senator MAXN voted fothis proposed amendment to the constitution. The day's doings in the House havebeen already noted.
On Wednesday the only important bilpassed in tho Senate was to provide foitho apportionment of members of the Leg-islature. Tho joint resolution amendingtho constitution as to judicial circuits amsalaries, was amended, put on its passagelost, reconsidered, and referred back tothe committee on judiciary.
In the House the following bills of gen-eral interest wore passed : Houso bill toprovide for the appointment of two pro-fessors of homeopathy in tho Departmentof Medicine of tho University; Senatebill making appropriations for tho Agri-cultural College ; House bill to amend tholaw relative to the title of real propertyby descent; Senate bill making appropri-ations for a new capitnl, $30,000 in 1871for temporary State offices, $10,000 in 1871forcapitol building, and $100,000 in 1872for same. The vote was 80 to 7.
The end of tho session is not yet. Anadjournment is talkod of until after town

BAILB0AD All) IN THE I'. S. COURTS.At t' c term of tli • Circuit
Court of the United States, Eastern Dis-trict of Wisconsin, a decision was madethat may interest some of our Michiganfriends who propose to have the decisionof our Supremo Court against Railroadaid by municipalities reversed by theUnited States Court. Tho oase wasOlcott vs. The Board of Foil du LacCounty. Under a law enacted by thoLegislature of Wisconsin in 1SG7, thoCounty of Fon du Lac was authorized toimpose a tax and make a donation to en-able a railroad company to prosecute theconstruction of a railroad. Under thislaw the board was about to issue countyordors, when an injunction was issued bythe Circuit Court for tho oounty, whichwhich was subsequently dissolved, whenthe orders were issued, December 15th,IS'ii). An appeal was taken to the Su-preme Court of the State, the law heldunconstitutional, and the injunction madeperpetual. The orders were then sued onin tho United States Court, just as theholders of Michigan municipal bonds aronow suing, in the hope of getting judg-ment on paper declared by our SupremeCourt illegally i.ssued and void*.
Judge DuruMoxn, said: "The onlyquestion in this case is as to tho effect ofa decision of tho Supreme Court of thoStato of Wisconsin as a rule of construc-tion for tins court in the present contro-versy. In other words, shall this courtfollow the ruling of tho Stato Court onthe statute ? " Then referring to the Iowacase, where tho State Court first decidedcertain legislation good, and afterwardsreversed its decision, Judge D. held thatthe decision of the United States SupremoCourt protected holders of paper issuedunder the laws held valid by the jirxlStato decision, and that if such a case ex-isted here it would be followed. But theWisconsin court had made but one decis-ion, and that against the validity of thelaw under which the orders were i.ssued,holding it "in conflict with tho funda-mental law of the State." He then cdn-tinucd :
" The rule established by the judiciaryact of 17SS), is that the Federal Courts areto administer the laws of the States in easeswhere thoy apply, and the uniform practicehas been to consider a judicial interpreta-tion the same as incorporated within thelanguage of the statute itself. And it isobvious that no other rule can be safelyobserved in our mixed system consistentlywith th« rif-Uls of all parties. This Court,although a Court of the -United States, issitting hero to administer the laws of Wis-consin, in cases where they apply, precise-ly as a Court of tho State would adminis-ter them. It is only in this way that har-mony can 1)3 preserved between the courts,State and National. Where a State Courtlias adopted more than one coustruction ofa State law It may be competent for theFederal Court to receive or accept one inpreference to the other; but where there isonly oue construction given by the StateCourt to a law of the State, then it wouldseem to be disregarding well settled prin-ciples for the Federal Court to decide con-trary to the adjudications of the StateCourt. Now, in this case, the plaintiffchiims a right under a law of the Legisla-ture of the State of Wisconsin. lie has noother standing in court. It is a recentstatute. It has become the subject of de-liberate examination and adjudication bythe Supreme Court of Wisconsin, and itseems to me, under the circumstances ofthis case, that this court must follow thatdecision. It it were a hasty or ill-considcred judgment then there might possibly besome reason for disregarding it. J?;it thisopinion was given after a (tall and ableargument, and after an argument upon amotion for a rehearing; an additionalopinion was given by the Chief Justice, andin these opinions this court considered anddetermined the effect of the previous decis-ions of the Supreme Court of the State,.vhich it is claimed were not entirely con-sistent with this, so that it is the deliber-ate and well considered judgment of theSupreme Court of the State not only thatthis statute was unconstitutional, but thatthere was nothing ID any previous decis-ions of that court to prevent its so decid-ing. If there is to be any different ruleestablished by the Supreme Court of theUnited State? than the oue which we thinkapplicable here, that court must take theresponsibility. It has certainly never goneso far as the counsel for the plaintiff desirethat this court should go In this case. Theinstruction of the court, therefore, to thejury will be that inasmuch as the SupremeCourt of this State lias decided the actunder which these county orders wereissued to be invalid, that th!s court mustalso decide them to be Invalid, and thatthe plaintiff cannot recover.
MILLER, J., who sat with DUUMMO>TD, C.J., concurred."
Will Judge SWAYXE or Judge E.u-MO1T8 decide any differently in this cir-cuit? or will they allow the laws ofMichigan to bo interpreted by the Su-preme Court of Michigan ? That is theonly question.
Gov. AI.OOKX, ( f Mississippi, has put a"flea in the ear" of the famous Ku-Kluxsuppressors at Washington. He hasofficially advised all concerned that theState authorities are competent to dealwith any and all disorders, and that nohelp is wanted from Congress in tho wayof legislation, or from the Executive intho way of troops. Tho same may bosaid of every Southern State, unless it boSouth Carolina, and there the trouble isgenerated and kept up by tho assump-tion, arrogance, and outrageous tyrannyof tho ignorant negro rulers and theircarpet-bag allies. The principal object ofthis animal ofy of Ku-Klux at Washing-ton is to tone up the weakening system ofthe Itopuhliean party in the North. Thonegro having been enfranchised is nolonger all-powerful as the rallying cry, soho must needs-be used in another way,and suffers, on paper, from the Ku-Klux—Bah I

" A SENATOR—WHAT IS HE 1 »Under this heading the Bay City C'kron
, (cusses the relations of a Senator tothe Preside nt, more especially if that Senffitor chance to bo-ck-iirnian of tho ComiHittwon Foreign Relations. I t thinkthat trie chairman of that committee"should be not only on speaking termsbttt on terms the most friendly and evenconfidential with the President." Ifliinks tho President owes his position toforty millions of people,—we have knOWlof Presidents being elected by a mfnority,—while the Senator " represent:s hiState or nobody but himself." Might nothe 1'resident represent as small a consiitueiiey ': History would assuredly an-swer yes. But, we quote two paxagiapiin full:
A Republican Senate would not placeDemocrats at the bead of its more importaut committees, simply because thelviews, aims and policy differ from the administration, lint if some Repnbllcttn, wh<has been at the head of a committee thahas to have constant intercourse with th<President, has demonstrated that his viewsaims, policy and feelings differ utterly frouthose of thtt President, why shoofd lie lxretained there ? Why should not that facbe a reason for a different construction an<arrangement of the committees?
Moreover it appears to us that when ahigh minded, honorable Senator Ilnds thathe President docs not relish his adviceand does not sympathize with his views, aproper self-respect would induce him voluntarily to withdraw. He would find it noin >rc pleasant to be there than to he thguest of a man who had intimated in someunmistakable method that his room wasbetter than his company.
If these paragraphs mean anythingthey mean too much. They mean thathe Senate should reflect tho will of thPresident; that tho individual Senatoras tho " constitutional adviser of the Pres-ident " should not bo an intelligent ad-viser, but n simple machine to register hisdecrees; that tho Senate committeesshould not bo constituted in tho interestof the countiy or of legislation, but in thointerest of the President; and that thechairman of a Senate committee, or anj"high-minded, honorable Senator," oc-cupies the position of a Presidential"guest," and shouldn't give advice no1wanted, and should retire from that bodyfor that is the legitimate ending of theillustration, if he disagrees with "theman at the other end of tho avenue." 11this be correct doctrine, the ratification ota treaty by the Senate is a farce of thobaldest kind, and the President may sendGen. BABCOCK or any other member o1his military family to treat for the pur-chase of the "Cannibal Islands," tho'-Mountains in the Moon," or one oiWATSON'S new planets, and it is the dutyof tho Senate to aid him in tho schemeby constituting tho Committee on For-eign Relations of nobodies or tools. Wodo not read that such has been the customof the Senate, and we can not anticipatethat if a Democratic President .shallchance to be elected in 1872, the Chroni-cle will advise the Republican majority inthat body to send to the White House andask its occupant how its important com-mittees shall be constructed and who shallbo their chairmen. Rather shall wo ex-pect it to urge and demand that the Sen-ate committees shall be made the bulwarkbetween the people—tho Republican ma-jority in that body assuming to representtho people—and the President.
That doctrine won't work, and it is,therefore, an absurdity for tho GhronicLto ask :
If the President has a right to dismiss atpleasure a member of his Cabinet, who hasbeen appointed with the advice of the Sen-ate, why may he not ask that the Chairmen of committees of that body may bemen with whom he may freely confer?
As such chairmen must bo Senators,, itwotild follow that no State Legislatureshould elect a Senator who was not infull personal and political sympathy withthe then President, changing him withevery change of the " reigning head," andboth the independence and usefulness olthat body would bo destroyed. The par-allel between a Cabinet officer and a Sen-ator is an unfortunate one, and certainlywithin the memory of our friend of the('hronicle, and no doubt with his approval,has tho Senate refused to confirm a Cabi-net oificer nominated by tho President,and compelled him to take to his bosomadvisers who were not, to say the least,his first choice.
The Chronicle, is on the wrong track. I tis tho duty of Senators—at the head orthe foot of committees—to bo gentlemen,and gentlemanly in their intercourse withPresident and Cabinet, whether alwaysso treated in return or otherwise ; but itis not their duty, either" as chairmen ormembers of this, that or tho other com-mittee, to wag assent whenever tho Presi-dent whistles, bark when he bids, or fa-vor his annexation schemes. Senatorsare a part of the government, and not tho
of "the government."
A LEADING Republican journal, the N.Y. Evening Past, very unprettily twitsPresident GEANT with having declaredin his annual message : " I shall on allsubjects have a policy to recommend,none to enforce against tho will of thepeople," and then more than insinuatesthat in his San Domingo policy ho is vio-lating his pledge. What of that ? No-body supposed it was made to keep, andit was generally regarded as a partingkick at the departing JOIIXSOX, on theprinciple of
"When a mini's down hit him for fulling."
The President's military training leadshim to press his own wishes, and after thomanner of a commander-in-chief, ratherthan to consult the people, and what busi-ness have either Republican journalists orthe people to differ from him.

With the new year tho Company extends its protection to its new pat-rons by issuing a more liberal policy than heretofore, containing fewer re-strictions on occupation, residence and travel, which is designed to meetthe demands of the times—Americans being proverbially a traveling peo-)le. The insured are by its policies permitted to travel or reside in anymrt of the world within the Temperate Zones, without the troublesomejecessity of procuring a permit, or the imposition of. an extra charge—So restrictions are imposed upon occupations, except upon the few whichare recognized as specially hazardous.
The new Special NON-FORFEITING features just adopted will still morencrease the well known popularity of the NATIONAL, it is a modification
of the Massachusetts Law, but shorn of its disadvantages. A few exam-jles will show the difference between the Massachusetts non-forfeiture lawmd the Plan adopted by this Company.
By the Massachusetts Law a policy, issued at age 45, premiums for life,ifter 5 annual payments, will remain in force 4 years and 306 days afterthe payments cease ; but the unpaid premiums with interest at 6 percent, are permitted to be deducted from ilie policy if it becomes a claimjefore the expiration of the Term Insurance.
By the Special non-forfeiting plan of the NATIONAL, the same kind ofwlicy at same age, after 5 annual payments, would be exchanged for aoaid up Term Policy extending 4 years and 73 days ; and should the in-jured die before the expiration of that time, the full amount of the policywould be paid.
In the case of a ten annual payment Ordinary Life policy, issued at age40, after 5 annual payments the Massachusetts Law gives Term Insurance7or nearly 14 J years—subject to deductions of unpaid premiums as beforestated.
Suppose the insured dies just before the Term Insurance expires, hissremiums, $01.68 (on §1,000) at 6 per cent. int. for 5 years (to the end of;he ten years) and interest continued till the fourteen years expire, willamount to $560.40, which, deducted from the amount of the policy, willeave $439.60 actual insurance.
The same kind of policy, in the NATIONAL, at tho same age, and costingonly $46.45 per $1000 for the ten years, after 5 annual payments, would3e exchanged for a paid up Term Policy, for tho full amount of the orig-nal policy, extending nearly 12 years.
The same Special non-forfeiting features applied to Endowment insur-ance, results still more in favor of the policies issued by the NATIONAL.(See examples of the workings of this plan as applied to Endowments inthe Company's Rate Circular.)
The foregoing illustrations are based upon cash premiums—the premi-ums in the NATIONAL are always cash ; most of the Massachusetts Com-panies allow a choice of all cash or part note or loan. Had the illustra-tions been calculated upon the loan plan (varying from 30 per cent, to 50per cent, note) the result would have still further favored tho all-cash, non-participating rates of the*Stock Plan of insurance as practiced bv theNATIONAL ; the outstanding notes, with interest, in addition to the unpaidpremiums being deducted from the amount of the policy.
In addition to this Special non-forfeiting plan, the NATIONAL, still re-tains its former plan of non-forfeiture of giving paid-up policies for pro-portionate amounts of the original policies. The insurer must elect at thetime of making his application, upon which plan of non-forfeiture he willhave his policy written. The choice cannot be made at the time of sur-render or change.

LIVER INVIGORATOR
And Bloofl Pnriflcr, is n cemponnd prepared tocleanse the Ryptcm of impurities and cure confirmeddisorders arising from a diseased stAte of the Liver.** There is something the matter with my Liver,lf isthe observation of at least three out of every fivepersons, when questioned in regard to their health,and it i« a well-known truth, that disease of theLiver is the most common ailment the physician hasto contend with although he is generally called uponto meet it in tho fjnn of Fevers, Ague, NervousProstration, and other acute maladies of which dis-order of the Liver is tho producing cause.
Impure Bloud, Sick nnd Bilious Headache, Cost-ivuuess, Nervous Weakness, Loss of Energy, Em-aciation, Pains in the Side and Shoulders. Weaknessand Trembling after exercise, Melancholy, Drowsi-ness, and Chronic BiHotisiicfS, aresomeof the min-or symptoms of Biliary Derangement and Disease.
The final result, if these symptoms are disregard-ed are different kiuds or Fever, Rheumatisms, Diar-rhea, General Prostration of Nervous System, end-ing in Jaundice or Consumption. The Liver is themost sensitive organ in the human structure, exceptthe Lungs, nnd so long as decomposition of vege-table mutter continues, malaria arises, and the pres-ent habits of life are indulged, so long Liver Com-plaint will be common. As there Is no prospect ofthese conditions being obviated, hence tho necessityof employing ageiits to counteract their influence.
In »electiri£ nud proportioning the lugredients ofDr. K'-llogg's Liver Invigorator, special attentionbns been hud to compound a preventive and curefor Bilious Disorders of every type. T ie must pot-ent agencee known to Botanical research,have beenincorporated Into this truly popular specific forLiver C'>mplalut8 and Diseases of the Blood.

The objection that these Pills were not SugarCoated has been obviated by the proprietors and inthat respect they are now equal to any in use.—Their worth as a safe and rcliublc Cathartic hasnever been questioned. For Chronic Constipationthey are a certain remedy. By their actions theyclcanne the system of vitiated necretions. Theystimulate the Liver to activity, give touo to thestomach, and strength to the nerves. There is noth-ing iu their composition but what is purely vegeta-ble. They are mild, gentle, and entirely effectual.Instead of irritating they restore. They are n cer-tain remedy for Constipation, Khcnmatism, Chron-ic Indigestion, Stubborn Disease of the Liver, Bil-iousness, Virulent Impurities of the Blood, and allDisorders where a > a orougli laxative Is required.

Dr. Kelloj»S's Indian Remedy is an exist-ing proof of this possibility, inaemnch ae it can beemployed in a variety of complaints, and in eachproduce a happy result.

Pcrilofls Conjuring.Houdin tiscd to say that if the
public knew what passes through themind of a conjurer when he sees the bar-rel of ft pistol turned toward him in thecourse of a "nre-nriii trick," they wouldperhaps give him credit for as much nerveand courage as the bravest soldier showsin battle. An omission in some triflingpoint, the breaking off of a small part ofthe false ramrod, or of the real bullet asft is being withdrawn, may niako the dis-charge fatal. Often, too, the trick is anew OTK>, and some miscalculation mayutako the plan a failure where failure maymoan death. An unfortunate event whichtook place in the Cirque Napoleon, atl?aris, strikingly illustrates Houdin's•words. Dr. Upstein, the conjurer, had of-fered a gun to a spectator, with directionto take good aim at the doctor, who wasto recoive the discharge on the point of asword. The man refused, but anotherfired off the gun as directed. The momentafter the doctor fell to the ground serious-ly' wounded. I t was found that a pieceof thr* rnihrod had broken off in the bar-rel, v 1 • ff at so close a range,had I the conjurer's right lung.
A circumstance in itoudin's life showshi daringly the conjurers who amuse us
a play with danger, dependingi 'itUy fingers to secure their safe-
ty. He had performed some startling• r- party of Arabians
KialiiiiL use, of HlBOi of the ordinaryE conjuring pistol, which is so con-
trived that the ramrod withdraws the bul-let. While the rest of the party were ex-pressing their admiration, a crafty oldMarabout, who had some suspicion of thet-wtr nature of the trick, said, "The stemger is doubtless a strong magician ; willhe suffer mo to fire at him with my ownpistols'(" "Yes," said Houdin, unhesit a-tmgly, "but first I must make invocationSo those who assist me." The next day hemet tho same party, and offered a saucer-ful of bullets to the inspection of theMarabout. Satisfied that they were lead—aa indeed they were—the Arab handedhis pistols to Houdin, who loaded them,ssiug the Arab's ramrod. His own friendswore, in terror, and even his wife, well asshe knew his skill, was in perplexity whenshe saw him hand back to the Arab onoof the loaded pistols. "Now fire," he said.The Arab did so, and Houdin was seenwith tho 'bullet between his teeth. "Bah,ho said, seizing the other pistol, "you can-not use your own weapons. Seo here.You have been unable to draw blood frommy flesh, and I will draw blood from yon-
fc ^ o aimed at the wall, fired,i ' . . i d iately a stain of blood waa
seen. The Mfiiabout went up to the YV:> ' iand when he had dipped his finger intothe blood, which was trickling down, hisawe and amazement were so great thatMs features assumed a ghastly hue. Yetfee trick was simple enough, two preparedBullets having been skillfully substitutedby Houdin for the leaden bullets he tooktip from tho saucer. But the experimentwas quite new, and Houdin tells us thathe trembled, and could scarcely controlhis terror, as ho saw tho Marabout draw-ing the trigger of the pistol.

In- Is certain to nlushortly: therefore my advice Is, B» well down Into tho6l»ui,'out of tho reach of prevailing oast winds ami fofis.Jacksonville, or almost any other of the localities I havonamed, will benefit those who aro troubled with a t,,rpi,lliver, a disordered stomach, deranged bowels, soro throat,or couRh; but, for those whoso I UUKS are diseased, a moresouthern point Is earnestly recommended.
For fifteen years prior to 1WK 1 w.iajirntfcMlnnally InSew York, Boston, lialtiinorc, and Philadelphia everyweek, whero I saw ami oxanuned on an average nvohundred patients a week. A practice so extensive, em-hr.-u.-ink' every possible phase of lung disease, has enabledmo to understand tnodweaso fully ;and hence my caution£ regard to taking cold. A person may take vast infini-ties of " ScIit-nck'B rulmonic Svrup, Beaweed tonic, andMandrake rills," and yet die. It ho docs not avoid taking
In Florida, nearly everybody Is nslntr Schonck'sMan-nrako Pills; for tlio olhnate is moro likely to produce-bill,'US haltits thnn mnre nnvtliern latitudes. It is a Vii.ll-csuuilolicd fact, that natives of Florida rarely die of con-sumption, especially those of the southern part. On tho
rer hand. In Kew England, cnc-thlrd at least of thnfiliation die of this terrible disease. In tho JIUKllfi
.tales, It does not prevail so largely; still there are many;thousands of cases there. What a Tnst percentage oflife would bo saved If consumptives were as easily alarm-c1
.„.. to" believe will wear oil' in a few days. They paynoattentluntoit; and honco It lays tho foundation foranother nnd another still, until Iho lungs arc diseased be-yond all li'ijic of cure.

and go to Florida. I recommend these particular modi-clues, becauso I am thoroughly acquainted with theirunion. I know, that, where they are used In strict ac-cordance with my directions, they will do the, work thatIs required. Tins accomplished, nature will do tho rest,'Iho physician who prescribes for cold, cough, or nightBweats,"and then advises tho patient to walk orrklo outevery day, will be sure to have a corpse on bis handsbefore long.
My plan is, to give, my throe mi'rnVino'ilnaci-ordtincnwith the printed directions, except in si,an- oases wherea freer uso of tho Mandrake rills is necessary. Jly objectIs to rive tone to tho stomach, — to git up a good appe-tite. I t is always a good Blgnwhen a patient, begins toirrow hungry: I have hopes of such. With a relish forfood and trie grftUflOatlon Of that relish, comes Komiblood, and witli It more flesh, which Is closely followedby a healing of the lungs,—then iiiecoiitii loosens andabates, thocrcopingchiilsaiul clammy nlsht sweats nolonger Droatrateand annoy, and the patient gets well,provided he avoids taklug coid.
Kow, there arc many consumptives who have not thomeans to go to Florida, lue question may be asked. Isthere no hope for such ? Certainly there is. My advicotosucli Is, ami ever has been, to Btayin a "warm roomfluting tlio winter, with a u mpenuure of about seventydegrees, which should be kept regularly nt that point bymeans of n thermometer. Let such .i patient tako bmexercise within the limits ot'tlio room by walking m> amidown as much as his ttnuxih will permit. In order tokeep up a healthy circulation of tho bluml. 1 have cun iithousands bv this system, and can do so again. Con-sumption Is as c:i illy cur d as any other disease, if it Istaken In time, aiuliho proper kind of treatment is pur-sued. The [act stands undisputed on record, thatSchenek's Tulmonie Bymp, .Mamlrako Tills, and Sea-weed Tonic havo cured very many of what pecmed to beliopelcts cases of ci«if»nn"'""- ( l " "hero you will, you•will bo almost certain toflnd.«omo i DOT conimmpUvowlio has been rescued from the very jaws ot death by theirusefio far as tlio Mnnnn!:? ri l ls arc cracernwl, everybody

In fact, they arc excellent in all caseswhtro a puruatlvo medicine Is required. 11 you havotvirtrrken too freely of Quit,and diarrliuia. ensues, adosoof the. Mandrakes will cure you.

A hjnnorous correspondent of the Srien-t\fic American gives tho follo-n-in^ us i;method -whereby a perpetual motion m;ivbe obMinr'rt. He says he has^een a steamboilerjadvertised which s:ivcs :J3 per cent.of fuel; a valve which saves 10 per cent.:a governor •which saves 10 per cent.; acutoff which saves 10 per cent.; a fire grate•which saves' 2fr per cent.; metal' packingand damper regulator which saves 12 percent., and a lubricator which will save 1per cent., making in all a saving of 101Tpor cent. Combining all these improve-ments, an engine would, ho thinks, runitself, and produce an additional one perceat.-oC fuel, which might bo used fordomestic purposes.
CAKE FOE SICK SHEEP.—James Smith,of Saratoga Springs, N. Y., says: " I be-lieve it is not generally known to farmerswhat to do for sheep when their care lop,and t h ^ stand with their feet together,and their eyes run; the disease is justoammencing. Catch tho animal, and pulltho hoof apart, and tho issues will befound stopped up with a hard substance;pick that ou$, and the animal will getwell immediately. A little clean lard putatt) oxen and cows' ears, when they runst tSo eyes, is very good."
A'Very curious modo of trying the titleto land is practiced in Hindostand. Twoholes are dug in the disputed spot, in eaclof which tho plaintiff's and defendant'sIfcwyer put one of their legs, and remainthere until one of them is tired, in whichcase his client is defeated. In this coun-try it is tho client and not thewho puts his foot in it.
Flctohfr, bishop of Nismes, was the sonof a tall A proud duke onceondeavnynd to mortify tho priest, by say-ing nt tho levCc that ne smelt tallow ; towhich the other replied: My lord, I amtho son of a tallow-chandler, 'tis true, andif your lordship had been the same, youwould have remained u tallow-chimdlciall the days of yonr life."
