"'Tis not for man to trifle, life is brief, Our age is but the falling of a leaf, We have no time to sport away the hours, All must be earnest in a world like ours Ivt many lives, hut one have we, How precious then should that one be." A Chicago hackman made a stranger, from wlxtm he had taken a seven-dollar lare, believe that a policeman 1kj stod rear was the "boss," ard he would be mad if he heard about carrying passengers so cheap. "A friend of ours, Miners, Journal, "was says the Pottsville recently invited to a seat on the floor of the House at Washington, and he indignantly refased, saying that he was accustomed to sit on chairs at home." "Mamma,' said a Ii 11 Ie girl to her mother, "do you know how I get to bed quick?" "No," was the reply. "Welt," said she, in great glee, "I step one foot over the crib, then I say, 'rats,' and frighten myself right in." A Kitle Indiana boy at an Omaha Sundayschool, being asked what he would like for a present, remarked that he "would very much like a paragoric to play on." The little Pagan doubtless thought it could be played on because it was a viol-ia. Governor Merrill, of Iowa, on a recent visit to the State Penitentiary, commenced a speech to the prisoners by remarking that he "waa glad to see so many there!" This ws followed by no applause on the contrary, by an awkward pause and then the Governor took back what he had said, with what grace be could muster. It is related that a rustic in a New-England town went to hear Ralph Waldo Emerson, instead of Artraos Ward (they lectured in the same hall on alternate nights), and at the end or the lecture remarked to an inquiring friend: "Well, if that is Artemns Ward, all I have to

Three of his sons ! their corpses pointed out the road where

joined the present war. His youngest son, O 1 as a- - Siegfried, aged 29 years, a lieutenant in command of a company in the Prussian grenadier guards, found a hero's death in the saoo-unarv battle of Gravelotte on th . ..... ' ioia or Augtsc. nis Drotaer ijoopold, commander of the guard train column, af ter a brief notice of his death wrote the following more detailed letter to his father from the field of battle on the 20th of August: Most dear and beloved father: When I saw the fearful battle raging all around me on the day before yesterday, way heart was filled with an anxious foreboding that our Siegfried was no more, and 1 could find comfort only in the beautiful text for the day the 18th 'I know whom I have .chosen. I went round from regiment to vegiisent till I heard the fatal tidiogs of his death. The battalion, of which he commanded the 12th company, was yielding before the terrible fire, when Siegfried sprang forward with his uplifted sword, and all testify how he rushed onward at their head with the most marvellous courage till a ball struck him down. He had just time to return his sword into its scabbard, to fold his hands, and in a faw moments he breathed his last. His helmet, cap, nd sword, dyed with his own blood, are lying by my side, and the shattered remnants of his compary, as they are passing by, are loud in their lamentation over him, and, as they said, 'Death ever seeks the best first.' If I can by any means obtain leave, I shall ride over the wide battlefield. Alas! how many thousands have fallen; only seven thousand cf the battalion of the foot guards are left, led by n ensign, and fearful is the number of the wounded! Yet, notwithstanding all this wo are going victoriously forward, and our courage is not broken, though our tears flow, and our lips tremble in deep sorrow and woe. It is well for us that w have the hope again to see our beloved brother, whose life, thank God, was unspotted from the world. How will our loved and sainted mother rejoice to greet him above! Ever sioce I have left home, I feci as though I must think cf beramong the loved ones yonder, whose prayers are very near me. Dear Siegfried, to, had the assurance, which i3 stronger than death, and gains tho victory, even when the heart s blood is streaming. Last night my men were singing very finely that beautiful hymn 'Unter deioia Leben's baunien' (Bene ith thy tree oflife load us into Paradise); and this heavenly hope arose over that bloody battle-fiald (whose thousands are still lying ubmried), like a calm message of peace; and thus may the Lord raise thee, most dear father, and the loved ones around theo, abjve this grief. I cannot describe how deep. how sore is my anguish; gladly would I have died for him had this been God s will. Yet even here we may rejoice in hope, for I have the most joyful asurance that our beloved Siegfried has entered upon eternal joy. Two days after, on the 221 of August he writes: "Our derrest Siegfield is resting in the little burial ground at Verneville, with the other officers who fell there. I have myself laid him in his grave, an 1 uttered, as to him, 'Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return, but Jesus Christ will waken thee at the last day. The Lord bless thee and keep thee, the Lord make his face to shine upon thee and be gracious unto thee, the Lord lift up his countenance upon thee and give thee peace.' I then offered the Lord's Prayer, and with the help of the soldiers who carried him, covered him with earth, and placed on his grave a little cross made of oak, upon which I wote: 'Here Siegfried rests in peace .... To me to live is Christ and to die is gain.' I planted a pine branch on his grave, and then knelt down in pryer that the peace which the beloved had found mitrht fill us 11 with comfort and resignation. In hie full uniform and wrapped in two mantles he rests in consecrated ground, and there I laid him on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The whole earth is the Lord's, and if you will read the text for the day, you will see that 'they shall come from the east and from the west to sit down at the table in the kingdom of God; and the bitter sorrow that you can no longer invoke your blessing on the beloved's head, this too the Lord will assuage by his holy peace. Our b love brother received his death wound in the throat and neck, and must therefore have died almost instantaneously; his fusiliers, whom I saw lying severely wounded in the barn at Verneville, spoke to me in glowing terms of his joyful courage, rallying his battalion as they retreated before the murderous fire, and meeting his death as he led them onward, while he waved his sword oa high. He had previously made an earnest animating address to his men; and only just before, he had said; in a playfull manner, to Lieutenant von Frieks. who ia severely wounded, 'How grand it will be hereafter to read how boldly we dashed forward and I wonder if the description will equal the reality. In the evening at seven o'clock, as tliis most sanguinary fight was leading to victory, Siegfried died the hero's death. But now thut you know his rest- . w i i T r , ing place, l must leu you now x iou.ua him. When I received the tidings of his death, I hastened evary where among the troops of the corps of the guards. They all knew of his death, but none could tell me where he had fallen or where he waa buried. I therefore resolved to begin the

I " was ""g ere i rracnea tne campi tor nine hours had 1 search for the belovod brother, and had' not found him. Bat I could not rest, and yesterday morning early I asked every one who came from thence a granadier told me he had read his name close to the graves of the two brothers of the Prince of Salni. I mounted my horse and urged him at his full speed, rushed over tho battle-field to seek among the wounded many a one be longing to the Elizabeth regiment had seen him fall, but none knew whither he had been carried. I rode among all near and fare-off villages, the road fuli of heaps of corpses, and by their sides lying the wounded without foed or shelter, and exposed to the cold blast. Alas! the misery which follows iu the train of war is beyond utterance; those are the least to be lamented whose death is instantaneous. Yesterday I was again riding about, and at length came to the spot where the Princes of Salm are interred. But, alas, it was only to discover a very possible error; a lieutenant, von Keckedorf, iay buried there, bat tho word 'dort had been effaced by the rain; well did I know then that I must pursue my search. 1 now began to scour the remote villages, where the battle had raged many a hamlet where no house was left standing, but where the corpses indicated that the brave grenadiers had fought; till, momting a wall, discovered a fresh grave, but all was, alas, in vain. I again rode back, but yet once again, to the spot where he was said to have fallen. Here the solders, who were appointed to superintend the burials, pointed out a grave with a glove lying upon,it. I had it opened?, ah, I recognized the uniform of his regiment, and thought I had found him; but it was a comrade, not Himself. I had it covered up, and turned to go back. All at once a soldier cried out, 'Ah, yonder iies a hoot with a spur surely it is an officer's. So I rode back to the place where the corpses were thickest, and above two hundred horses in a dense mass, and here was a solitary grave. I seemed to recognize the boot, and a little wreath lay upon the grave. I send you the ticket which was attached to it 'An officer of the Elizabeth regiment found here a here's death. Remove not the ticket, some re'ativc may seek it.' We opened the grave in all haste: barely six inches of earth covered the corpse. Upon his face lay a map-case, and Siegfried von der llecke was written upon it. I wept, but they were tears of gratitude that I had at length found him whom 1 had so long sought for in vain. The soldiers now carried him to the burial ground. I hastened n before, au 1 took some men with me, so that on his arrival the grave was ready to receive him, and we could quietly lay him in his last resting place. 'I cannot tell you what thoughts of peace have since filled my heart, aad although we have buried soma of cur richest hopes, yet we know he will r'se with is. Ah, how sweet the thought that he led a blameless life, that he kept himself unspotted from the world, with a hert bo pure as few on earth. Truly do my tears flow as I thus ride home alone, or lie solitary about tho fire in the dark silent night; but alas, so many thousands have shared the same fate, and should we murmur that we have been called by God's holy wilt to give him back? rather should we not rejoice that the Lord had thoughts of pcice towards hinj? Ala.-! how ii the song of victory marred by the thousands of slain; and through how many streams of blood had I to wade before I could discover the place of the decisive struggle. I have seen places where above a thousand corpses lay in a spot of barely two acres, in long rows like sheaves in the field. Many a countenance, like that of our beloved brother, in perfect peace; but many also in the anguish of despair and pain. In many of the villages there are above 1,500 wounded soldiers. In St. Marie I was obliged to ;t I along a narrow lane, a man was lying in my way, and I begged the passers by to wake him, but he was dead; thus they were lying in the wayside ditches, along the walls were many in the last agonies of death again the cry of the wounded! It was a sight to break one's heart. And now, commending to tho Lord all the loved ones at home, and may the Lord comfort your, grief 'for we may not sorrow as those without hope.' :Leopold." New Remedies for Burns. Two new remedies for burns are added to the list. The first is charcoal. A piece of vegetable charcoal laid on a burn at once soothes the pain, says the Gazette Medicate, and if kept applied for an hour cures it completely. The second one is sulphate efiron. This was tried by M. Joel, in the Children's Hospital, Lausanne. In this case, a ehild, four years of age. had been extensively burned, suppuration was abundant and so offensive that they ordered the child a tepid bath, con taining a coupl5 of pinches of sulphate of iron. This gave immediate relief to the pain, and being reseated twice a day twenty minutes each bath the suppuration decreased, lost its odor, and the child was soon canvalescent.

From the Congressional Globe, March 14. Constitutional Amendments. Mr. Wilson, of Indiana. I move that the rules be suspended so as to pass a joint resolution affirming the power of Congress to impose the ratification of the fifteenth article of amendments upon certain States as a condition precedent to . - . . , representation in Congress, and declaring the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth articles of amendments to have been duly ratified by three fourths of the States of the Union. The joint resolution was read as follows: Whereas, the Democratic members of the senate of the State of Indiana voted for and passed through that branch of the Legislature of said State the following joint resolution, to wit: Joint resolution of the Legislature of Indiana withdrawing its assent to the ratification of the fifteenth article of amendments to the Constitution. 'Resolved by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, That the pretended ratification of the fifteenth amendment proposed to the Const'tution of the United States on the part of the State of Indiana, waa and is null and void, and of no binding force or effect whatever, and the counting of the vote of the State in favor of the same was dotie without any lawful warrant or authority, and that, protesting against the same, this General Assembly does now withdraw and rescind all action, per. feet or imperfect, on the part of this State, purporting to assent to and ratify said proposed fifteenth amendment. 'Resolved, further, by the authority aforesaid, That Congress has no lawful power derived from the Constitution of the United States, nor from any other source whatever, to require any State ef the Union to ratify an amendment proposed to the Constitution of the United States as a condition precedent to representation in Congress that all such acts of ratification are null and voicj and the votes so obtained ought not to be counted to affect the rights of the people and the States of the whole Union? and that the State of Indiana protests and solemnly declares that the so-called fifteenth amendment is not this day, nor ever has be in law, a part of the Constitution of the United States. "liesolved, further, by the authority a foresaid, That the State of Indiana does no propose and ask that t'.ie Congress ot the United States may and will, as soon as practicable, call a convention of tb e States aad the people, according to tLe provisions of the fifth article of Constitution of the United States, for the purpose of proposing amendments to said Constitution for tho ratification by the States. 'Resolved further, by the awfkorfy afore said, That the Governor of Indiana be, and is hereby, directed to transmit an authenticated copy of these resolutions and the preamble thereto, to each of the Governors of the several States of the Union, and to each of our Senators and liepresentatives in Congress.' And whereas the validity of the act of Congress approved the 10th day of April, 1869, in relation to the ratification of the fifteenth article of amendments to the Constitution by the States of Virginia, Mississippi, and Texas; and also the validity and binding force of the ratification of said article by either of said States, is called in question by the resolution aforesaid: Therefore, Be it resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives, &c. That the Congress of the United States had the lawful power to impose upon tho said States the ratification of the fifteenth article of amendments to the Constitution, as a conditionprecedent to representation in Congress, and that the ratification there, of, pursuant to such acts of Congress by either of said States is valid, to all intents and purposes, and binding upon the States so ratifying, and upon all the States, and that the States having so ratified has no lawful right to rescind the same. And be it further resolved, That the thirteenth, fourteenth and Sl't?erith articles of amendments to to the Constitution of the United States have been duly ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, and that said amendments are valid to all intents and purposes as a part of the Constitution of the United States, and as such binding and obligatory upon the Executive, the Congress, the several States and Territories, and all the, citizens of the Unetid States.

This gentleman is the editor of the Ligonicr National Banner. He is of Germanis not a German by birth, and is one of the few intelligent men of that na tionality who have identified themselves with the Democratic party. Mr. Stoll is a popular speaker, and, during the canvass last summer, the Uemocrattc press were very liberal if not fulsome in their compliments to him. His active services in behalf of the State ticket were tbe more highly prized by the Democratic leaders for the reason that ha had been an unsuccessful candidate for the nomination to the ofiaee of Auditor of State at tho last Democratic State Convention. But when the canvass closed, and the result of the election had been made known, Mr. S toll's occupation was gone, he had lost his usefulness, and the leaders of the party for whom he had done such signal service turned their backs upon him. Not asking anything for himself, he urged the election of his friend, Mr. Wadsworth, as State Prison Director, upon the Democratic members of the LcgUiatare. His requests were ignored, if he ws not unceremoniously snumbed by the party managers who controlled the caucus. Mr. Stoll has recently given a free expression of his opinions concerning the course of the Democratic leaders in the State Senate in the Saraiaghausen and and Bird contest, and so severe have been some of his strictures that, early on Satur day mornm c , uuil'fp, . lull 11- kllC .1.; . !11 in fh. tj . proceedin a question of privilege, and among other things said, substantially: '1 read from a paper called the National Banner, published in a little town in the north part of the State by a man named John B. Stoll..' Senator Martindale askod: 'Who is he, and what is his politics?' Senator Dittemore responded: 'I don't know. I never heard of him.' At this point of the colloquy Senator Brown was heard to say, (sotto wore): He was a Pennsylvania Dutchman the last I heard of him.' It is thus that tho Democracy treat Germans who consent to be used by that party. They have all sorts of compliments nd honied phrases for them while their influence and character may help them to success: they are useful ladders by which such men as the Brights' Shoemakers, Browns and Dittemores may climb into fat offices and high official positions, but when tbey have iCiclicJ these, the ladders by which they have risen are spurned and thrown aside. Germans who wish to maintain their self repect are fast learning that this Democratic party is no p'ace for them. The Democrats have never forgiven them for their display of patriotism and courage in the Union armies. Men like Mr. Stoll are very able and popular men in Democratic estimation while a canvass is in progress, but after the election, Democratic Senators in their places in the State Senate insult them by calling them nobodies, and 'Pennsylvania Dutchmen.'

A correspondent of the Lancet says: "A few years ago, when in China, 1 becan e acquainted with the fact of the native when suffering with facian neuralgia using il of peppermint, which they lightly apply to the seat of pain with a camelhair pencil. Since then, in my own practice, I frequently employ this oil as a Ureal at testhetie, not only in neuralgia, bu also in gout, with remarkably good re suits."
