matter when the originals felt themselves In

different squads, and began discussing their prln-
c;nles. their measures and their system of educa-
ton. In one corner was one man explaining away
the meaning of the term infdel, to a group OF
citizens. What is in6delity: said he, :'noth-
inc but a difference of opinion. Wedon't want to
bring up children infidels. | don't believe any thing
myself; but what of that:" Principles-not men
said another, and offered to prove it. Another
group was discussing, 'Whether religion or no
religion made the state happisr?:" At
least said one, under the present system, the
state prisons are full" s'Sir," said a man,
with a bitter expression of face to another, ''See
what it is to bring religion into politics. Was
there ever such a disgraceful scene acted before
in New-York. Are you not ashamed OF your
self?"-One fellow who had lost his spectacles,
cried out five lost my spectacles-Pve lostmy

Such rs the scene, and such is the state OF things
which have been brought upon this city, to the
disgrace of the state-nay the very age itself
by the impudent pretenslons of a mad and wick
ed Political club, organized last December, and
taking to itself the name of the Executive Com
mittee ofthe Mechanics and Workingmen. BY
the quiet and orderly citizens in the country, 1T
will scarcely be believed that such things could
be transacted in this city. Such however is the
fact-the description is far short of the madness
and fury of the reality. Six thousand persons as
sembled in and out of the North American Hotel,
but the exhibition was acted by about three thous-
and and the rest were mortified, chagrined spec
tators.
If the king of England should die, his brother
William Henry, Duke of Clarence, will succeed

born August 81, 1765, was educated for the
Navy. and passed through all the ranks, but re-
ceived no command. In the House of Lords he
constantly opposed the War policy Of the Minis
ter. Humanity is indebted to him for his exer-
tons for the abolition of the slave trade. His
uniting with the opposition contributed to the
overthrow of Pitt and Arlington, but he still liv-
ed on the best terms with the royal family. He
was passionately attached to the celebrated &C
tress, Mrs. Jordan, with whom he was connect.
ed many years, and had several children by her.
She died at Bordeaux in 1916. The Duke of
Clarence conducted Louis XVIII. to the coast of
France in 1914. He married the Princess Ade-
laide, of SAKE Meiningen, July II, 1918, and
was DESTROYS of fixing his residence thenceforth
at Osnabruck. He lives now with his wife in
London. In 1897, under Canning's admins
t%ration, the Duke of Clarence was appointed
Lord High Admiral of England, but he retired
from that office soon after the Duke of Yelling
ton had been made Premier

Cure for the Dropsy.-A correspondent in
forms us that there is a boy living at Denny,
who, about three months ago, was seized with
dropsy, for which he underwent the operation of
tapping; after which the water again gathering,
the boy was so much swelled, that the two doc
tors who attended him said he must be tapped a
second time, in a day or two. 1t happened,
however, that a boy went to see the one affected
with Drops, who mentioned to the other that he
had a strong desire to eat some onions; the boy
went home to his fathers house and procured
some for him, and what is remarkable, in a short
time after eating them the swelling abated, the
boy discharged a great quantity of water, and
continues to do so; he eats onions every day,
and is now walking about. Raw onions in this
case appear to have produced an astonishing re-
suit, which, for the benefit of persons similarly
afflicted, ought to be known.-Gasgow Gron.
