aVowal of her present Executive and
Legislature furnishes at least belief
that all danger ola future collision be.
tween the General Government and thu
States, in reference TO the authority OF
The former over the militia of the latter
has been permanently removed. In
this light, the committee cannot but re
gard the remuneration as honorable to
the Chief Magistrate and Legislature OF
massachusetts,, and as highly useful in
liking the true Interpretation of the
constitution, on an interesting and i'm
portant point. This disavowal, in con-
sonance, as it is affirmed, with the SEN
ilment Of the great mass of the people
OF Massachusetts, is indeed reiteration
OF the language which was expressed
by the Senate of that State, as early as
October, 1919, at the moment when the
unfortunate irritation between the Ma
tlonal and State functionaries was most
exasperated, and when remuneration
for these services formed neither sub
Ject of calculation or desire.
Your committee, in conclusion, re-
commend that, in all cases where the
militia Of the state of Massachusetts
were called out in conformity with the
desire of an officer of the General Gov
eminent, or to repel actual invasion, or
under well founded apprehension of
invasion, during the late war, the claim
of the state for such militia services be
allowed, under the ustlal rules of audit
ing and allowing similar claims provid-
ed the number Of troops so called out
were not in undue proportion to the ex-
igency.
Your committe likewise recommend.
that the claims of Massachusetts, not
comprehended in the above description
OF cases, be disallowcd. And, in con-
tormity with the foregoing principles,
ask leave to report bill.

- A Southern lodge, some years ago, in
his charge TO Grand Jury, denounced
duelling in terms SO severe, that they
presented two men, one for giving and
the other for receiving a challenge.
The Magistrate caused both of the par
ties to be arrested and enforced the
law SO rigldly, that both parties, after
The rising of the Court, challenged him.
To round the circle of absurdity, the
Judge accepted the challenge, fought,
and wounded them both.

Prison BREAKING.--One ofthc most as
founding feats of prison breaking upon
record, was that of Jack Shepard, the
celebrated burglar, who twice escaped
from Newgate. The second time was
the extraordinary thing, az on account Of
the former one he was heavily ironed
and vigllantly watched. In the night af-
ter his keeper had examined his irons
and locked him in his cell, he got of his
handouts, and with a crooked nail, open
ed the great paddock which fastened him
to the floor. His foot locks he could
not get rid OF, but tied them up with his
carriers. He then went up The chimney
after removing an iron bar il it, an
inch square, into a room over his own;
and thence by the help Of the bar and
great nail, he broke through several
strong doors, all bolted and barred. pass
ing through the chapel, and arriving at
the leads ofthe gsol Then, in order
to descend, he went back and fetched
tis blanket, and also wrenched an iron
spike from the chape! door, with which
he made fast the blanket to the wall.
and let himself down upon a turner's
house adjoining. The garnet door on
the leads was open, through which he
entered; and after remaining till the
people were gone TO bed, he descended
the stairs and went out at the street
door. A preacher of that day when
the story was ripe, made the following
Pious application of Jacks adroitness.-
''Let me exhort We, then, to open the
locks your hearts with the nail of re-
peutance burst asunder the letters of
your beloved lust; mount the chimney
Of hope; take from thence the bar of
good resolution; break through the
stone wall Of despair, and all the strong
holds in the dark entry ofthe valley of
The shadow of death--raise yourselves
ito the leads Of divine meditation. Fix
the blanket Of faith with the spike of
the church. Let yourselves down to
the turner's house ofresignation, and de-
Tcend the stairs of humility, so shall you
come to the door of deliverance from
the prison Of niquity, and escape the
clutches of that old executioner, the
DEVIL who goeth about like roaring IL
on seeking whom he may devour;'
The JEwEss. A we'll known rake,
sitting in DFury Lane theatre, beheld
very pretty girl-was very rude to
her. The girl, however, appeared as
il she did not, OF would not hear him;
but as he became more bold and i'm
pudent, she at last turned round and
said with an angry couhtenance, "Be
pleased 10 let me alone - To which
the surprised and confounded freeboot-
er could only answer, Nay, do not
eat me - Upon which the girl said
with smile, "Be not afraid, I am Je5g-
