Then g{vd the hour to merry thonght, . ‘While the youthfnl heart is gay, y For, on the memory fancy’s wrought A picture ne’er to fade away, A scene which fortune tinges brightly, . As the sunbeam gilds the tide Where on the blue waves dancing lightly Life’s pleasure boat in beanty rides. e The Blacksmith of Regenbach. One afternoon, some. twenty years ago, there were seated in the public room of the tavern, many men and women of Regenbach, engaged in quietly chatting with each other. The blackemith also was sitting in the cheerful crowd; a stout,®robust man, with a very determined face and brave look, but at the same time with such a pleasant smile upon his lips, that every dhe who saw him was obliged to love him. His arms were like bars of iron, and his fists like gledge hammers. There are few men who were equal to him in.bodily strength. Suddenly the door sprang open, and a great dog came staggering into the room, with his dreadful, burning red eyes, his mouth was wide, his lead colored tongue was hanging out, and his tail was equeezed between his hind legs. Scarcely had the blacksmith’s neighbor, it was the barber of the place, seen the animal, when springing up he cried out in a voice of terror: “Lord Jesus have fercy upon us. People / the dog is mad.” s : . j r

The room was nearly full of men and women, and the mad dog stood in front of the only door, 80 that no one could pass him without being bitten. Then there was an agonizing scream of terror/ Who could protect them from him? . 'Then the blacksmith arose, and determined to do that which has scarcely ite like in magnanimity and nobleness in the whole of history. “Back/ all'of you 7’ he thundered with his deep, powerful voice. There ‘must be some one sacrificed, and I will offer myself / 1 am going to seize him, and while I do 'it, fly, the whola of you.” The blacksmith had scarcely spoken these words, when the brute sprang forward toward the shrieking human mass. “New,with God’s help,” cried the blacksmith, and immediately he leaped upon the raging animal, seizing him with his giant arms, and threw him to the floor. | 7

‘Oh, but that was a fearful, horrible struggle that followed. The dog bit at him fiercely and atruggled with groans and dull howls. His long teeth tore the arms and thighs of the eat souled blacksmith, but the latter E;d not relax his grasp. He held the snapping, biting, howling brute down until all had fled—all were in safety except himself. Then he hurled the half-strangled brute away from him afninst the wall, and dripping with blood, covered with the poisonous saliva, he left the room and closed the door behind him. The dog was killed by a shot through the window. But what could be done for the unfortunate, brave blacksmith? = -

Weeping and wailing, the people whom Ee had saved at the expense of his own life surrounded ‘him. “Be quiet men, ; don’t weep for me, women and children,” he gaid. One was obliged to di€ in order to save the others. -When lam dead remember mein. love, and pray for me now that God - may keep me from much suffering.— -But I 'must now take care that no further harm be done by me, as it is cer: tain that I shall be attacked by the disease.” And he went away to hisshop, and there sought for heavy chains, the heaviest and strongest in. his stock ; then he kindled his fire and worked his bellows until the chains were made white hot, and with his own hand he ‘fas‘ened himegelf hands' and feet to his anvil which no human strength could tear away from. the ground, no more than human strength could break the iron: chains. ‘There now its done,” he gaid, after he had completed his wozk in silence and ear- | nestness ; “now you are all safe, and I am harmless. As long as lam alive bring me my food ; the rest I leave to God. Into his hands I commend my spirit.” Nothing could save the brave’ blacksmith, not weeping not pity, not even prayers, The disease seized ‘him—and after nine days he maust die, but in truth he died only to awake before the throne of God to & :ipfore ~beautiful, and . more glorious, 11e. 3 : T o S 145

LIGONIER, IND. WEDNESDAY, JUNE 16, IS6O.

MR. 0. P, MORTON’S OPINION. - ~ Mr. O. P. Morton’s opinion on the law of quorums is a paper that will not add 'snygtbilgntgfthb not very large reputation of that Senator for: statesmamhig.“ It is a labored attempt to prove that the settled and uniform interpretation of the term quorum, found in all the American constitations, is wrong, and that the new interpre tion which Mr. Morton has _inyentt is right ; that the common judgment of mankind, since the institution of representative government, has been false, and tha.ttie_ judgment of the in- ' dividual Morton is true; that even the - convention which framed the Indiana | constitution, while Bupposing and intenilielﬁ that the term meant one thing, ixll “reality made it 'mean something else, / : The Indiana constitution differs from the federal constitution, and from most of thé other State constitutions, in providing that “two-thirds of each house shall constityte: a quorum,”— Most of the constitutions require ?131 a majoxity .of each house. r':i;he object of requiring two-thirds, as appears in the debates in the Indiana convention,’ was to more effectually and surely protect the rights of the minority. Mr. Schuyler Oolfax, who was a member of that convention, thought that the requirement of two-thirds to make a quorum would be givinhg too much protection to minority rights, because, " Mr. Colfax said, it woulg be “holding out an inducement for gentlemen who may feel disposed to resist the passage of a law to break the quorum” —precisely what was recently done in Indiana; but precisely what Mr. O. P. Morton argues cannot be done. The convention seems to have understood what it was they intended by the requirement of two-thirds to make a quorum in each horige. . sithes ‘ To protect the rights of minorities ‘i3 in reality the principal object and “use of written constitutions. No one denies that *““The will of the majority is the essence of republican government”’; but, concede to the majority absolute power'and sovereign right in all matters ‘of government, and constitutions are not only useless. but, in the nature of things, are inoperative and void. If the majority be not bound, as well as the minority, by constitutional limitations, the constitution is not “the supreme law of the land,” but the will of the majority, unrestrained, unlimited, and uncontrolle@ anything on earth, is that gupreme law. ; According to Mr. Morton’s argument, the constitution of Indiana thus provides for its own destruction. For if, as he assumes, the quorum is ihtended only “to maintain a proportion of members present to the actual membership, and not to the number of members present authorized by law to be elected,” then two-thirds of a maJority; oryfow.that mattor. of less than | a majority, may come together, and regolve, like the three tailors in Tooly. street, that “We, the legislature of Indiana, “being the judges of the election - and - qualifications of our own members, do decile that we are the only members duly elected and qualified, and therefore we do constitute the ‘actual membership of that body, and two-thirds of us are a quorum for business.”” . - i ;

- Mr. O. P. Morton uses. the phrase “actual membership” to designate the number of members in commisgion; whereas, in contemplation of law, the actual membership is the whole number of members the constitution authorizes. The constitution supposes that all the people are represented in the legislature, and never, in any form of government that exists, or ever existed, supposes:or intended anything else. Vi?henever the constitution employs the term ‘house,” it means that body in which all the people of the State are represented in such -manner and by such proportionate number of members as the constitution itself prescribes. ' It will often happen that the house is not full ; some members may die; others may resign; the people in some districts may have faileg to elect their members, or the house may have found them not qualified. It is to protect the rights of the minorities who may thus be absent from the house that the constitution'declares what proportion of the house shall be necessary to constitute a quorum. In attempting to prove that the constitution %f Indiana does not attain that object, r. 0./P. Morton ‘attempts to prove that it i 3 not the supreme law that the peopleintended it should be, and that it provides for its own destruction by any number of factious demagogues who may resolve that “We are the House "'—Chicago T'imes. 55

Death of Commander Foster. Commander: James P, Foster, U. 8. N,. ‘died at 4 o'clock on the morning of the: 2nd inst., at the residence of W. 8. Tarkington, in Indianapolis, after a long and painful illness. Mr. Foster was a native of Bloomington, Monroe county, and was appointed to the Naval Academy in 1846 at the instance of Hon. John 'W. Davis, “Young Foster wasan apt student, particularly in mathematics, in which line he s‘toog at the head of -his. class. His first cruise was in the ship Ohio, in 1848, under, Commodore Stribbling.

The Alabama Treaty---Its History. - The Washington correspondent o the N. Y. Tribune writes: - Douring the last week two facts and one fiction have come to light tha throw a great deal of explanation upon the real reasons at the bottom of the rejection of the Alabama treaty, On Timtsday night, youn received gy telegraph from this city the statement that the Johnson-Clarendon protocol was réally suggested, ontlines, and filled ‘in by Mr. Seward himself, by him transmitted to Mr. Reverdy- Jo{naou, and from the latter received and accepted by Lord Stanley and Clarendon. It was a Federal tender, and not an English overture as has all along been sypposed. On Friday Mr. Reverdy Johneon, in his fareweﬁ address to the Queen, succinctly stated just these facts. The treaty upon which Mr. Sumner thus exhausted his ﬁroductions of the Congressional lirary was an American treaty only ‘made English by acceptance; t{ia Mr. “Sumner knew, also-knowing that-its ratification and the settlement of our differences by it would retractively | redound to the credit of Mr. An- | drew Johnson’s administration and | Mr. Beward’s mma% ement of the De_partment of State. How luminous un- | der these facts becomes Lord Clarendon’s statement that the rejection of the treaty was'due entirely to political reasons, and how disingenous appears Mr.. Sumner’s diselaimer of this fact and his suggestion that Mr. Reverdy .Johnson had imposed such a false state of affairs upon Lord Clarendon out of disappointed malice and jealousy. When Mr, Sumner recited his compilation against the treaty he knew that the records of the State Depart- ' ment contained Mr. Seward’s original draft of that treaty. He knew that "Mr. Reverdy Johnson was aware of: this, and that the English Secretary for Foreign Affairs was also aware of it; yet he throughout treated the protocol as an English suggestion, and tendered as the least’ concession that .could be made by the party in culpability. This suppressio veri surprises no one here, although it may surprise some fly-gobbling clod-hopEers to whom the Boston plagiarist is the god - of their idolatry, and now this whole treaty business has become nauseous

to the capital, just because it tends to perpetuate the delusion that Mr. Sumner himself is a representative man in our Government, or rather a representative of any considerable portion of our people. The encouragement of this gelusipn is as much a breach of fact ‘as this same Senator’s careful elimination of follow copy quotations marks thus, *“ ”’ from his speeches.— As a matter of fact, admitting for the time that Mr. Sumner did effect the rejection of the treaty, which he did not, then it stands simply as the second success of his eighteen years of Senatusial lifc. Tho only other thing which he ever carried to a successful conclugion was the expulsion of Stockton as Senator from I‘?ew Jersey, ostensibl; because he ‘was not legally electexﬁi really because at that time he killed out the needed two-thirds of the Senate by whom President Johnson’s vetoes were sustained. He has become a weariness to the flesh of all sensible men hére by the central figure he unjustly cuts in this treaty business.— His present state personally is a queer contradiction possible onlg in his case. He is much puffed up and he is much cast down’' by the turn thin%s have taken, He is elated because the word Sumner occurs so many times in the newspapers, and he is in jmortal and vanity-born fear that he has made a war between the two countries likely. As to the future of the Alabama claims they are bound to become a bone of contention between the Senate and the Secretary of State. Mr. Fish’s purpose is to get Mr. Motley out of the country as restrictively equipped as possible as to instructions ; his next step will be (da's he admits) to secure the consideration of the claims on this side. Meantime, when Congsmen like Mr. Sumner and Mr. %rehmdler’ will be prolific of propositions, and overflowing with resolutions. of inquiry ulp‘on the Alabama question, and will do all they can to irritate and inject into it their individual virus, this fight between the Secretary, of State and Senate is sure to be the feature of the future, and the adhesion of the President to either side will determine the supremacy in the premises. On the coming phases of this struggle it is ~ useless to speculate. They will turn up fast enough without anticipa--oy .

Its Purposes. | The Imperialist explains the object of “ the T, C. L O. organization. Itsays: | “The T C. 1 O. is a -secret, political | and social order. Its object and purpose ‘ is to secure the establishment of & strong | central government in the United States; | that shall secure peace and prosperity to | country, and protect the rights of our | naticnal creditors, and reorganize society | on a basis that shall admit of no equality | but that of equal responsibility to, and | protection under, the law. It is not an arimed military organization, nor are" the | members pledged to anything which: the Constitution of the present Government defines as treason. - It contemplates no | reyolution other than that which ‘can be accomplished by the izessure of ‘powerful moral influence.” ' If, however, the control | of our national affairs should suddenly | pass from the hands of the many, and | one - strohg-minded, intell‘i:?ent man shounld declare himself ‘the Government’ | the revolution would have been accom- | plished, and the T. C. L. O: would owe no | ‘other allegiance than that demanded by | mealrowmn’ . . e ol ) - “Peace and prosperity” is to be secur- | ed, of course, by the establishment of an | empire. Then again it says: . | “The rapidity. which this order has increased, and the secresy which, until lateLy, hes been prefied with.m;r.ﬁ to_it, is owing m t that existing politic- | ‘gltmx:_pimi} ﬁ? SR o e O St ! That is, so many of the “Loyal Leagues” organizations, that the faci liti?&l‘m ; dissemination of the infamous doctrine. ;mwﬁ have been largely inorensR T i

Medicinal Properties of Celery.

Five Cents Worth of Orange Peel. . A man from the eonn:‘fy’ invested fiye cents in the purchase of an orange, and preparatory to getting himself outside of it, threw the-peel on the sidewalk. Soon after a young woman came along, slipped ,uFon the peel ‘and fell, fracturing her leg. . The woman was to have been married the next day, but wasn’t. The man who was to marry her had eome from St. Paul, Minnesota, and was obliged to return, on account of business, to await. the recovery of the girl. On his way home he unfortunately took a train on the Erie Railroad, which ran off the track, and his shoulder blade was broken, forcing him to stop at Dunkirk for repairs. On getting back to St. Paul he found that his ?o’rced absence had upset a business arrangment, which he had expected to complete, at a pecuniary loss to him of $5,000. Meantime the injured girl suffered a relapse, which so enfeeblegl hér health that her mar-

‘riage was delayed, which had abad eq oot - e y vuLg luan, Auo ue mnars f mt‘he'ﬁﬁgagement%ﬁd .married ‘& widow iu Minnesota with four small children. This so worked upon the -mind of the girl that she is now in the insane hospital in Middletown.

Political Intolerance--Unfairness of Radical Newspapers, ~ The leading article of the Rownd Table last ‘w‘eei was an essay on “Political intolerance’”” and full of whole: some truth well put.. The justice of the following charge will be recognized hy every unbiassed mind; - If a man writes a sermon, or pleads a cause, or writes a book, or makes a book, or makes a speech, or edits a newspaper, and he is known: to be a democrat, or, what is asbad, not known: to be a republican, his work is decried or ignore£ and, let his talents and his energy be what they may, he will be sharply and systematically punished for his political heresy. ~ Meanwhile, he will have the satisfaction of seeing the slothful, the stupid, and the ignorant, who either cleave to the orthodox faith or have the craft to pretend to it, exalted over his head. It is ex- | traordinary to what a degree this ab- | surb and unjust discrimination is carried. The vast majority of republican journals, especially in. New Kogland, will not even notice literary work of merit, however disconnected with politics, that emenates from sources | not on their own side; but ahg num- | ber of weak and‘childish productions from ostentatious republicans are by the same journals lauded to the skice. Men and women who ought to be sawing wood and washing dishes are continually held up for admiration in -the same colamns as shining literary lights, authors, leeturers, or what not, simply | because they have managed to identify themselves with the dominant party. The writers on the most extreme radical newspapers of New York city carry this custom to ‘& point absolutely laughable. Even wﬂen they write for current magazines they are perpetually buttering other writers, -newspapers, artists, or lecturers, as “noble,” “high-toned,” “devoted to" lofty principle,” and the like, for no better reason, that disinterested critics can see, than that the happy subjects of panegyric are “sound” in their fidelity to the party of great:moral ideas.

Thirty Centuries Old. £ The ‘oldest relic of humanity extant is the skeleton of the earliest Pharoah incased in its original burial robes, and wonderfully perfect, considering its age, which was deposited eighteen or twenty months ago in the British Museum, and is justly considered the most valuable of its archological treasures.. The lid of the coffin which contained the royal mummy was inscribed with the name of its occupant, Pharoah Mykerimus, who suc-. ceeded the heir of the builder of the %reat gﬁramid,;about ten centuries beore Christ. Only think of it—the monarch whose crubling bones and leathery integuments are now'exciting the wonders of numerous %azers‘ in London, reigned in Egypt before Solomon was born, and only about eleven centuries or so after Misraim, the grandson of old Father Noah, and. the first of the Pharaohs had been gathered to his fathers! 'Why, the tidemark of the deluge could scarcely have been obliterated, or the gopherwood knee timbers of ‘the ark gm,ve rotted on Mount Ararat, when this man of the early world lived, moved, and had his being.
