THE POOR PLAYER AT THE : 4 GATE. . Written and spoken for the Holland Testimonial at Wallack’s, the Fifth-ave., Niblo’s ‘Theatre, gn%_ the Academy. of Music, by George Vanden011. | 7 ) . . Wiselz good Ungle Toby said, 3 ! “If here below, the right we do, : + "T'will ne’er be agk’d ofg us ahove, L What coat we wore, red, black or blue.” . At Heaven's high Chancery gracious deeds . Shall count'before profesgions, . . And humble virtues clad in weeds T 2 Bhall rank o’er rich possessions. i

80 the poor player’s motley garb, If truth and worth adorn it, : M’ziy pass nunchallenged through the gate, ho’ churls and bigots scorn it. | The Lord of Jove, the world's great Light, Made Publicans his care, i And Pharigees alone demurred - That such His gifts shouldshare, Bat still He held his gracious way - Soothing the humblest mourner, Nor ever bade one sinner geek For comfort “round the corner.” )

The woman that in sin ta'en, Bowed down with guilt and shame, Found ﬁy in that breast divine That knetw no taint of blame.

The Pharisees all gatheréd round To taunt, revile and stone her. He bade her “‘go and sin no more;” His mercy would atone her. 3

fle raised from death the widow's son, Nor asked his trade, profesgion; Emm},rfh for him'a mother’s faith In His divine compassion. . ! He healed the %alsiéd, halt and blind, - Ner left 'one heart forlorner;. - He never bade them go and find A Doctor—*round the corner.”’

Some modern gaints too dainty are ‘ To walk ingaths like these They’d lock the gates of heaven on woe, If they but helﬁ the keys - Lot The widow’s friend asked prayers o'¢r him From whom death’s hand has torn her ; The saintly man refers him to . “The small church round the corner.” What js there in the player’s art Shonld close the fount of love ? He who on earth plays well his part May hope a seatabove. 4 The lessons he has wreathed with smiles; The hearts his mirth made lighter Shall plead like angels’ tongues of grace, And make his record brighter! And though not Nearest to the throne, Yet sure the lowest born, or The actor in the.veriest barn, : May find in heav’n a corner, All honer to the little Church, : And to ite gracious Pastor, Who in his heart the lesson kept - Taught by his heav’'nly Master. : And when this fleeting scene’is past * To sinner, gaint, and .scorner, 2 Let's hope we all mf:‘ly find, at iast, A bright home round the corner, "

How Nitro-Glycerine is Made. This wonderful explosive was discovered in 1847, by an Italian named Sobero, but its practical application was made by Alfred Nobie, a Swedish engineer. - The process by which it is made is thus described : , - Every one kpows what glycerine is —a clear syru?; liquid, sweet to the taste, and somewhat greasy to the touch. Its scope of employment ranges from the surgeon’s dispensary to the lady’s boudoir ~Chemists term it a triatomic alcohol, and it may be derived from fat or tallowby the action of lime and sulphuric acid.. Its properties are many and various, but as they h&ve no bearing upon the present subject we shall abstain from noticing them. Ifa quantity of nitric acid be added to twice its weight of sulpharic acid, glycerine be poured into this, and carefully stirred—the Whole%ng surrounded by a freezing mixture—we obtain that wonderful substance known as nitro-glycerine, which has more than ten times the ‘explosive force of gunpowder. It forms on the surface as an oily liquid of a 'pale yellow color, is perfectly inoderous, and has a sweet aromatic taste. Itis poisonous whether taken internally or absorbed thro’ the skin.© :

It does not explode when- brought in contact with fire, and remains unchanged even when raised to theitemperature of boiling water ; but at about forty degrees Fahrinheat it becomes converted into an icy mass, which merely requires friction to develop all its_explosive qualities. . A dog is a better beast than a woman. You kick a dog and he will love you the better; yod kick a woman and she will make trouble, Better marry theidog. =~ - ’

A Talmudic Legend-==The Creation e of Womgn. A ' - A prince once said to Rabbi Gamaliel: “Your God is a thief! - He once surprised Adam in sleep and stole a rib from him!"” - f ‘The Rabbi’s daughter overheard the speech and whispered a word or two in her father’s ear, asking his permisgion to answer the singular opinion herself. He gave his consent. . The girl stepped forward, and feigning terror and dismay, thréw her arms aloft in suppligation, and cried out :— ‘My:liege, my liege! Justice! Revenge !’ . e EEE

‘What has happened ?’ asked the prince. SR ¢ ‘A wicked theft has taken place,’ she replied.« ‘A robber has crept mecretly into our house, carried away a silver goblet, and left a gold one in its stead.? . - :

- “What an upright thief I’ exclaimed the prince. ‘Would that such robberies were of more frequent occurrence !’ ‘Behold, then, the kind of a thief our Creator was! He stole a rib from Adam, and gave a beautiful wife instead. ik b 4 ; ~ ‘Well said I’ avowed the prince.

Claims Against Estates, ] - When persons have claims against the estates of decendents they proceed to the clerk’s office, ‘without retainiug an attorney, manifest theiriptentions, file their claims and make oaths to their justness. This is a very easy matter to perform.. Claims against administrators and executors in their fiduciary capaci:yg must bé filled within one year after the death of'the decendent. If'these claims are not admited by: the administrator or executor, they' are placed on the claims docket for trial at the next succeeding term of the Common Please Court. Generaly on the first or second day of the térm this docket is called for trial, and if the claiment does ‘' not agpear, either by himself or attorney, the claim is! summarily dismissed for want of prosecution, and tt\xere it ends. e

‘Where the shoe pinches’ is attributed to Plutarch, who relates a story of a Roman who was divorced from his wife, and who beigg blamed by his friends, who demanded, ‘Was she not chaste ? was she not fair ¥’ held out his shoe and asked them whether it was not new and well made; '{et,’ he added none }f you can tell where it pinches me , S

. Story of the'!Green Carpet-Bagger.’ ¢ . (Washington Cor. New: York Sun-) A good story just at this point is told about a green carpet-bagger, who came to Washington some time last gession with a considerable pile of greenbacks and more curious cunning, and who fell in one night with a set of cappers - and ropers in for a faro bank not far from the National Hotel. They took him around in a very genteel way, treated him copiously, and showed him. some gights, and then, when they thought the proper time had arrived, proposed to fight a little game of the tiger. ' The carpet-bagger, nothing loath, followed them to their headquarters, and in . order to make it gppear perfectly fair they proposed that the man who had the largest amount of money should be the. dealer. . The green carpet-bagger revealed hLis pile, which the crowd were very anxious to see, and to their delight’it proved to be the biggest pile. - =~

l ‘You are to be the dealer!” cried all. ‘Oh, no,” protested the green carpet--2 bagger, ‘I cang deal; I don’t know | nothing about it. I've bucked many 2’ a fime, but I’ve never dealt; I can’t deaL’v ; it They all protested that as he had the biggest pile and had won the .chance, he must be the dealer. ‘No, no!’ cried the green carpet- | bagger. ‘l'll é-ive ten.dollars, twenty dollars,” yes, fifty dollars, to any man who will deal inmy place.” = | . They all insisted that he should deal. He took the cards in an awkward way, pufiled them with many a grimaee, and as he was about to put the cardsin | the box from which they were to be ~drawn. his hand accidentally slipped and revealed, under thé top card, the é king of hearts, so that they all saw it. | Every gambler immediarely coppered on the king of hearts. oo The green carpet-bagger at - once cried out : ) ) ,

‘Now, now, come boys, this won’t do; you're taking advantage of mé.— There is something wrong or” you wouldn’t all bet in that way together. I won’t play unless I can have another shufile.’ o

They all insisted” that the game should go on just as it was, and after ‘many protestations that it was not a fair thing to take in-a stranger so, the green carpet-bagger progeeded to deal. He slipped off the topxcard, and ‘there ‘beneath, sure enoughy was the king of hearts. =~ : : . They all pushed forward'to sweep off the money, but the very/green car-pet-bagger, drawing off the king of hearts, exposed another king for the third card.. This made splits. ‘l’ll take half ot that pile boys,” said this greenest of green carpet-baggers. And he -passed out with a mild expression of countenance to look at the statue of Freedom on the summit of the Capitol. They play no z%)'re with green carpet-baggers here. 1\

—————l} O B——— e : Land Grabbing. A There were presented in the Senate and ngse of the Forty-First Congress fifty-five land grabbing bills, contemplating the gacrifice "of 189,106,320 acxes of the public domain to the various railroads and other rings ; an area gix times greater than the state of Ohio, The amount actually given away was 33,760,000.0 The remainder of these bills will doubtless be presented in the Forty-Second Congress, as these land grabbers are a tenacious set of cormorants, who will not desist in their efforts, so long as the government holds a single acre of land that can be converted into money to enrich them, and impoverish the country. If congress should be seized with a fit of honésty and smother the whole batch of ldnd subsidy bills, and scatter the rings that hang around the lobbies of the capital, it would confer a favor upon the country greater than any act .that it could _possibly perform; except to disperse altogether.— New Albany Ledger.

X) Good Hams, i’ After hams have been smoked, take them down and thoroughly rub the flesh part with molasses ; then imme‘diately apply ground and powdered pepper, by sprinkling on as much as will stick tothe molasses, then they must be hung up again to dry. Hams treated in this manner will keep perfectly sweet for, two or three years ~ This must be done before the fly deposits her eggs, for after that is done nothing will stop their ravages. The above has been practiced in our section for more than twenty years. No soaking is necessafy. ‘One pint of ‘molasses and owe or two pounds of black pepper are sufficient for any ordinary family. Try this planif you want good, sweet hams. So says the Rural New Yorker. 1 :

Ku Kluox ‘was the prevailing topic of diseussion in.both Houses of Congress on the 20th. 'ln the House a resolution offered by Mr. Dawes. (Rad., Mass.) that seven Senators and fourteen Representa tives be appointed a committee to visit, dyring the recess, the lately insurrectionary States and report their condition to Congress, with such .recommendations as they may see fit to present, was adopted Dy a vote of 127 to 60, most of the negative votes being extreme Radicals. Inthe course of a personal explanation Mr. Morphis (Rad., Miss.) had read Gov. Alcoru’s recent letter to Senator Ames and the Mississippi Representatives, in'which he holds that that State is well able to take. care of and punish its criminals without Executive or Congressional help or interference. . In the Senate Mr. Bayard (Dem,, Del.) spoke for three hours and a half in review of Senator Sherman’s speech of Saturday last on ‘the lawlessness in the Southern States. He denied in toto the imputation that the Democratic party. en‘couraged the outrages, and asserted that they were temporary outbursts like the Indiana lynching of the Reno brothers.— Mr. Stewart (Rad., Nev.) from the Committee on Privileges and Elections, made & report, which was ordered to be printed, admitting Messrs. Goldthwaite (Dem.), of Alabama, and Blodgett (Rad,.) of Georgia, as Senators from those States, but .that ‘their right to seats shall .remain‘snbgiect ‘to a future investigation. Messrs. Hill (Dem., Ga.) and Thurman (Dem., 0.,) of the committee, dissented from fhe‘recom. - mendation at to Blodgett,” = ©

Lawren;:eburgh, Ind., (March 20) Correspondence | o of the Cincinnati Commercial. . - ¢ A very terriblé and soul-sickening tragedy occurred bere this morning, between the hours of 4 and 5 o'clock, A. M. . John George Schmeltzer keeps what is known as the Rossville Ekchange, a house of public éntertainment situated on Ridge Avenue, just beyond the corporation line. He had been keeping the house about a year, having bought of one Boehmer. A payment.on the property was due to day, and last night when Schmeltzer retired to bed he placed beneath his pillow a roll of greenbacks'amounting to some $450, with which be intended.to make the payment. The money @vas in a pocket book of the size that men carry in their coat breast pocket, and contained, besides the money, Schmeltzer's title papers.— Schmeltzer's statement is, that about 4 o'clock this morning he was awakened by feeling a hand underneath his pillow.— Still about half asleep, he raised partly up in his bed, and mechanically reached out his hand, grasping the hand of some one standing by his head. As he did so a pistol was leﬂfd at him and discharged, the bullet grazibg his head and burying itself in the temple of his.wife, sleeping by bis side. For a short space of time, which he cannot measure with accuracy, his half-aroused .senses were bewildered and confused; the report of the pistol, held within less than two feet af his head, the whiz of the bullet,and the npp,_ariﬁon of two men, whose features were hidden from view by masks, standing in his bedcehamber, were circumstances well calculated to strike the palsy of terror into the heart of a cooler and more self-contained man than Smeltzer. He fell back upo;l\ his pillow, and the robbers and assassins glided out of the' house, ‘carrying with them the booty obtained at such terrible expense. , Schmeltzer, turning to his wife, saw by the light of the chamber lamp that was burning in the room where: the fatal bullet had sped : saw the life-blood oozing from her temple, and heard her gasping, sobbing struggles for the breath of life ; his first thought. was naturally to obtain medical aid. His wife was still living, but unconscious. = The servant girl who' slept’ in the adjoining room, had beerfa ed_by the pistol shot, and, leaving his ith her, he made his way to the b r. Walter, and, thence to Dr. Robbins, both of whom reside in what we call Old Town, and nearly a ‘mile from the scene of the tragedy. These physicians were in attendance as promptly as possible, but the poor woman was beyond the reach of eartly aid, and, although she lingered in lite until half past 8 o'clock this morning, she was never conscious.— The bullet penetrated the brain and is now there imbedded. She died at the hour last named, having made no sign,— hurried from the arms of sleep to the cold embrace of death with;startling and awful suddenness. o O

The assassins up to this.time, have escaped detection. All tHat is certainly known is that there were two of them.— Mrs. Schmeltzer had been in poor health for a week or two, and they kept a lamp burning in their bed chamber, Scmeltzer says there were two, both masked by a strip of dark-colored material, hanging down over their faces, and that they were withoutboots or sloes on their feet. The servant girl, who ‘slept in an adjoining room, confirms this. She saw them as they passed through her room in making their escape from the house. How they got info the House is not certainly known. There are no doors or windows broken or marked with the vestiges that the use of ordinary. burglar’s tools usually leave ‘behind. Schmeltzer says he was troubled with diarrheea, and once, in the course of. the night, got up and went out to his back yard—abcut 8 o'clock, he thinks—and that it is possible when he re-entered the house he did not lock the deor after him. - The house is a large two-story brick, with deep cellar for the storage of lager beer, and in the rear a covered portico 2x*ending tte whole length of the house, the room occupied by .the untortunate. couple being in the second story and rear of the building. The impression is universal that the assassins, whoever they were, were persons well acquainted with the “lay” of the house, and with Schmeltzer’s business affairs. He had, it is said, talked quite freely of the fact that a payment on his ‘property was due to-day, and that he was ready to weet it. Boehmer, who is now a resident of Cincinnaii, to whom the payment was due; was down here yesterday to be ready to receive his money, and was here this morning. I make this statement categorically. for the reason that among the many rumoys cutrent this morning was one that Boehmer bad disappeared and could not be found. He was at the house soon after the horrible news came into girculation.

A correspondent of the New York Sun, who has traveled largely in the South for the last few months, has come to this conclusion: “If a man from the North goes among the Southern people;with a view to business, he is gladly welcomed and gladly treated. If he goes there to hold office and insult the people through an officious exhibition of intense loyalty, talking loudly about rebels, etc., no one will take any pains to make him happy or his presence agreeable. . Neither would the Northern people do more by a Southern man under similar ¢ircumstances.”

Toleration as well as Vigor.

The Washington Paériot, in addressing the Democratic party, says: “We seek from this centre to impress upon our friends, near and at a distance, the necessity of toleration as well as vigor ; of concerted action everywhere, which can only be.attained by avoiding extremes ; the obvious. policy of keeping wide open the doore of party ‘organization, and showing to'the discrganized, discontented ‘masses of our opponents outside, that within there is not only harmony, as there is, bat magnanim.: ity, and geserosity, and welocome.”™ ;

The Daveitport Brothers Exposed. Knoxville Cor. Chattanooga Times. S Hoxie’s Hall was filled to overflowing, At the proper time Mr. Fay, one ‘of the performers, advanced to the front of the stage with a paper containing the names of the committee, and requested them to come forward. Messrs. Bell and Lowery soon made way through the audience and were . greeted with tremendous applause, as they bowed to the audience. Ropes were given these men, they examined. them thoroughly and then went to work with & vim to tie the brothers tight: This being done they explained to the audience how many knots, etc., they had made, and in their omu was satisfactory. The cabinet doors™re' closed by Prof. Fay, and in 18'ééé%§?:ﬁi” sounds from & viglin, guitar and tambourine were heard distinctly by the audignce, as coming from the cabinet. The doors were opened by the Professor, and the committee, afteran ‘examination, found the ropes and km')t,s the same as they had tied.” 'While closingthe door, Mr. Bell was struck on the shoulder with some unknown object, but Mr. Lowery saw it and instantly went to Mr. Bell's side, and whispered to him, who hegan to go through the same motion. :Out came the object. Mr. Lowery sprang - like a cat and seized the hand, and wrenched it carefilly off, throwing it in the audience. Upon examination it was found to be a paper masked hand, as thin as writing paper, and fitting so closely in the cablnet that it was impossible to observe it. It was worked by wire, per-. fectly at the will of the operators. Cheer upon cheer was given for the committee. The brothers were raging with madness, ‘but constant calls from the audience convinced thiem that they must either play or pay, and accordingly the -cabinet was thrown aside and the dark seance was announced. The professor stated beforehand if any tricks were attempted he would not -proceed ' with the entertainment. A table was brought forward and several musical instruments laid .upon. it and the professor and dne of the brothars were tied, a quantity of phosphorus swas rubbed on a guitar and the lights were extinguished. Total darkness reigned.—Presently sweet chords came: from the guitar and the phosphorus was seen running here and there in the air. ~All: be lieved the guitdr sailing here and there—they .might catch the cabinet trick, but the dark scene wasa stunner. While the ‘supposed guitar was swining in the air, one of the audience named Brooks, pulled .from under his coat a dark lantern of immense power, which he instantly shot on the flying guitar, and to all present, it appeared nothing, only one of the attaches of the show held a pole six feet long, on the end was nailed a sdiall piece of flour barrel heading. The guitar was laying. on the table in the same position, only the phosphorus was not on it. To describe the scene that followed would be folly.— Mr. Bell then stated theiricabinet tricks were done by simply bringing their tied hands over their head, and then they were almost free to ring bells, blow horns, etc. We don’t think the Brothers will book this city on their next route. = e

Cure for Hydrophobia.

Mr. James A. Hubbard, of Boone co., 111, says : “Eighteen years ago my brother and myself were bitten by a mad dog. A sheep was bitten at the same time. Among the many cures offered for thelittle boys, a friend suggested the following, which he said would cure the bite of a rattlesnake : ‘Take ‘a root of common. upland ash—generally called black ash—peel off the bark and boil it to a strong tea, and of thig, drink freely.’ - Whilst my father was preparing the above, the sheep was attacked with hydrophobia. © When it became so fatigued by its spasms thaf it could not stand ap, my father drenched it with a pint of the ash bark decoction, hoping to astertain whether he could depend upon it for the cure of bis sons.— Four hours after the drench was given the animal got up and went quietly to. grazing. My brother and I took the medicine eight or ten days, one gill three times a day. No effects of the dreadful poison ever appeared in either of us, It has been used very successfully in snakebites to my knowledge.” R . 'A farmer writing' in the Kent News, Chaterton, Md., says a certain care for, hydrophobia is: “Take immediately after being bitten; one and a half ounces of elecampane root, (green or dry); slice or bruise it ; put it in a pint of fresh milk, and boil that down to a half pint ; strain, and when cold drink it, fasting for at least six hours afterwards. Next morning repeat the dose, using two ounces. of the root, fasting as before, and the third morning repeat this samie dose, fasting again, and the cure will be effected. The green root is ipreferred, but dry will answer, and can be had in most of our drug stores, if not saved from the garden at. home.” : 5 ‘

Timely Suggestion.

~'We do not know that our contemporary of the Huntington Democrat is as well skilled in ‘matters pertaining to dgriculture and stock raising, a 8 he is in journalism, but it strikes us that he hit the nail squarely on the head when he penned the following timely suggestion: ' . " This is the season of the year when stock should receive more care. Tell every man that ‘keeps a cow to give her a few nubbins of corn twice a day for.ten days. before' calving, and there will be no:trouble about her “cleaning.” If that rule was strictly adhered to, it would not only save 8 wonderful amount of' suffering, but would save the lives of hundreds of valuable cows this coming spring. - |

. _THE REVOLUTION IN PARIS. i The news from - the French capital'on I the 10th:inst wis -exciting and of the | highgst' importance. " The Thiers govern: [ ment in attempting to subdue the insur. rection in %he quarters of Montmartre’ and Belleville, was not only beaten back by a bloody battle, but was obliged to ‘abandon the greater pirt of Paris to.the insurgents., President Thiers" issued a proclamatior -on Fridiy demanding that the insurrectionists should lay down their arms, and threatening force as the -altermnative. On Saturday four regiments of infantry, a regiment of chasseuts, and a squadron of cavalry moved against the insurgents, but upon-reaching Montmar. tre, instead of obeying orders they broke | ranks and fraternized with the- people.— Subsequently a large force of gendermés were sent into the insurrectionary district. - They charged the heights of Montmartre, and after severe fighting were tepulsed. A large number were Killed. In this conflict General Surville was killed, .General Paturel wounded, and Generals De Paladines, Lecomte, and Clement Thonias ‘captured. The two latter were taken before a tribunal styling itsélf the Central | Revolutionary Commaittee, tried by drum‘head, sentenced to death, and shot in the Garden jof Rue des Rosiers. All accounts concur that they died bravely. Afterthe victory at Montmartre the insurrection. - ists marched through Paris and encamped at’'the Camps de Mars. Tle government. troops under Goneral Vinoy and the entire force: of gendarmes have been with: drawn to theleft bank of the Seine, leaving the right bank in" possession of the revolutionists. It is' not very clear wliat the leaders of the latter desire. They are apparently apprehensive that the Thiers government, or the Bordeaux Assembly, contemplates & coup d’etat whereby the. ‘republic may be overthrown and the 'm’on--. archy restored. - R ' MarcH 20.—Paris is in full possession of the red republican revolutionists. The National Guards, in obedience to orders from the “Central. Republicgn Commit: tee,” have taken.up positions in various quarters of the city, meeting’ with no “resistance: -The red flag flies from the " Hotel de Ville, and its windows are crowded with armed insurgents. _Ricotti Garibaldi, son of the Italian liberator, directs the insurrection; and it was by his orders that GencfalyThomas’ and Lecomte were “shot. -In the meanwhile M. Thiers and the regular government are at Versailles, whitner Mr. Washburne and the whole Diplomatic bedy have gone. The Presiident is said to be resolute, though full of grief. Thiers ‘has telegraphed for 80, 000 regulars to come to the defence of the state. There is great agitation in the departments and risings are. expeeted in Lyons, Marseilles, ‘and even . Bordaux.— ' The Bonapartist agents are active. Napoleon has arrived in England and tells the World.correspondent that he will be recal_:led'to .France sooner or later. The Germans are ready to re-enter Paris if necessary. Thdse are piping times, and they are making histoty rapidly over the. water. . - e o S e T .

[From the St. Louis Republican.] Secret Political Societies,

The Missouri Democrat calls.our attention 'to a letter from Jefferson City, in the Dispatch, relative to a secret political order called the “Crusaders of America.” The Dispatch itself refers to the organization editorially, and condemns it. If we understand the matter, the order in ques. tion claims to be one for the_ furthe{z,ance of Democratic principles and for the election to office of men faithful to these principles. We question the propriety of such organizations, holding “them to be undemocratic in their nature and tendencies. 'So far as we know, there is nothing in Democracy that should fear the light of open ‘doors.. Strong combinations of men banded together for political purposes, whether. cath-bound or not, must be governed with most extraordinary pru.dence and wisdom not to become dangerous to Republican institutions, This ‘paper has steadfastly opposed the KnowNothirgs, Sons of Liberty, Union League, Grand Army of the Republic, and other secret political -societies, in whatsoever interest formed, or by whom managed and controlled. The experience gained by the existence of these orders and ‘societies is not such as to commend “such institu: tions for their beneficial influences. They are generally used in the intercst of particular rings and cliques, ‘and most com-. mon{y for the advancement of individusals too timid to entrust their claims for office. to the simple test of merit and capacity before the whole people or party. With no unkind feeling towards those who have allowed themselves to be led - into this new secret society, we nevertheless féel it our duty to raisea warning voice against-the entire scheme. In our opinion it must lead to niiscliief'and disaster inevitably. The effort to apply.the discipline and drill of a secret order to public affairs must beget jealousies and suspicious that, if left to themselves, will break up any party attempting ‘to rule by such means. They neyer have succeeded for any length of time heretofore, and they never will succeed -long hereafter.

* What next? , ‘Chief ‘Justice Mason, of Nebraska, has delivered an opinion against negroes sitting as jurors in that State.— The principal point made is that the 14th and 15th amendments grant rights to negroes, but impose no duties upon them, and that jury service is a burden and not ‘a privilege ; that the State Coustitution can be changed only by the same power’ that created - it; and Congress' can nov. confer such authority to change upon the Legislature. Judge Mason is a Radical.

The Hon. Benjamin H. Hill has published a letter in the Georgia papers, denying that he has been offered a seat in President Gmnt‘s‘Cébinet, or has ever expected one. .He says that he was carried to the Democratic party by events, not by choice, and counsels -moderation in the South, in the fall' conviction that the “Democratic party of the North does.not intend to run the next Presidential race i on a fool's schedule”” o B ey

A Novelty in Loecomotion—Cars Without Wheels Gliding Through i ‘the -Aifr. H= | The demand for quick transit in-New York has brought out many ingenious inventions: The latest is-that of General Imboden, of Richmond, Virginis, which can scarcely be described without illustrations. The structure or carryingway is to be a wire suspension bridge, running the whole léngth of the city, supported by iron columns one¢ hundred feet apart, 25 teet high, resting upon granite pedestals on the line'of ths curbstones on both sidcs of the street. A light, -ornamental arch gprings from the top of these columns aad, spanning the street, supports the iron piets oyer which the wire cables are stretched. One of these cables is over the

‘axis of the street, the othgn two are half way between this and the sﬁpporting col: umns. Immediatély under these cables, and attached to them, are the glides to which. the tracks are suspended—one for the down trains, and the pther -for trains going up town.. The track or roadway is the mpst striking novelty of the invention. It is composed of pairs of rollers gimilar to car wheels, secured upon a suitable axle, which revolve upon ordinary friction rollers. This rotary track has its wheels ten feet apart, and under it the cars are suspended by rails 32 feet long, that glide over the rollers with pertect freedom and safety. Six strong elliptic springs connect these rails with the cars, and will insure a motion almost as soft as the undulations of'a boat. The motive power is supplied by stationary engines, located in buildings or under “the streets.— The engines are one mile apart, and propel an endless wire cable or ckain around light horizonital drums, 16 feet in diameter. The attachment to tke car is so simple thata boy 10.ygars old can work it, and the cable is 3 constructed as not to be liable to. get out of order “or break; but if such an accident should' occur, a new eable being ready, can be put in in a few moments. ) b |

The cars are intended to be 30 feef long '‘and 10 feet wide, dividen into threc compartments, and seating comfortably 42 passengeas each. They may be run singly or in trains, and safely at tbe rate of 30 miles an hour. The stations it is proposed-to locate at about equal distances of halfa mile apart, and, sg:m’ng cross streets they will obstruct no business place. The bottum of the cars will swing 16 feet above the surface of the street, 'thuS'clea‘i‘ing all thé-stages and wagons passing under them, General Imboden claims that the operation of the road will be almost noiseless, and not likely .tg frighten horses. . o The whole ‘structure is light, graceful, and ornamental, and does not obstrugt the street any more than telegraph poles, ‘which, by the way, as well as lamp posts, may all be dispensed with along the line, and this structure used instead. Superior cheapness, speed, safety, and capacity are claimed for this novelty, as well as that it will require minimum amount of power, and can never be a nuisance to foot passengers nor to the occupants. of houses along the line-. It, In no wise, resembles the two other elevated railways in New York.—Jersey City Times.

The Radical. journals are taking on great airs, as if the Democratic party were about to dissolve into thin air because the press of our party, outside of Indianapo-:. lis'and Fort Wayne, have denounced the- - committed by the Radicals in expelling a legally elected member ofi‘zhe Senate, and in doing so have had occasibn to excoriate the few unfaithtul Democrats who'aided the outrage. The Democratic “party is not only strong enough in its principles to vindicate its cause against Radicalism, but it~ is honest enough to denounce and ostracise, with loathing and contempt, those who have been unfaithful to the interests of the people. It ~would indeed be & sorry spectacle, if the great Pemocratic party of this State should be impaired in‘its “integrity by - “the lopping off of such an excresence as “Jason Brown, or even all ihq ring about the capitol that has been trying to sustain - him against the indignation of the Democracy of the State.— New Albany Ledger.
