@%A bill has passed the Legislature
of Maryland confirming an act Of the
last session for reform of the Constitu-
ton of the State, in several particulars.
1t appears that the right to alter and a.
mend the Constitution is given to the
Legislature, and the only guard placed
upon the power, is. that the bill of a.
mendments is TO be published at least
three months before the next election OF
delegates, and the amendments confirm
ed by the new Legislature thus chosen.

Summon Counz June n Shubael Baxter W.
John r. Huntington and Charles +. Le,ih--This
was an action brought by the plaintiff a scafariDg
captain to recover from the defendants an amount OF
wages and his share Of the proceeds of sealing
voyage. The defendants owners of several whale
ships in New London, and the plaintiff was the
commander of one of them. The planuf proved
that the ship brought home 900 seal skins, the value
of which was Sl3 SO each.
For the deferce il was proved by some OF the SAT-
ors that Captain Baxter set a very bad example to
his men by habits Of ntoxlcaton and negiecung Mo
duty; that he not only poured down the rum as ohg
he could swallow II in that way out then ne SOAK,
ed his bread in it. and devoured it in that manner ull
all was blue. Things went on swimmlngly IN TINS
way the vessel crsized azily through the Southern
ocean for something like eight months, when man
at the masthead suag out land no! Ihe vessel
neared the land the captain looked over his chart II
was not laid down therefor want of better anlhorl-
ty he made up his mind that he had fallen on new
island. The idea Of the glory and emo'ument
which he should derive from this discovery, hIled ms
whole soul-he drank extra RUNNERS. soaked extra
biscuits, gave double allowance of grog all around
snapped his fingers In ecstasy, and chrlsiened the
new island by the name of Bakers Island, IN no.
nor of his eAtsrprlzing self and having put three
fourths of his men ashore on short allowance, with
instructions to shoot as many seals as they could,
turned the bows Of his vessel towards New Londsn,
where he soon after arrived, and announced, with
brcahess aaxety, the result Of his fortunate voyage
The owners were only half pleas ed with his conduct
where this island was.
"In the South seas"
Whereof
Captain Baxter placed the tip end of his thumb
upon his nose, and depoyed the four fingers with
knowing twig and replied mo 60.
"Bat we are entitled to know what you have done
with our property"
"Can't tell. The discovery s my own, and shall
hold on to the secret. 1t will be fortune 10 me-"
"Then go and make the most of it we shall not
employ YOU any longer"
Having disposed of Captain Baxter the owners
despatched another vessel the South Seas, shrewd
ly guessing from Some Of the remarks which Captain
Baxter let fall That the newly discovered island was
nothing else than the Island of Coil, well known TO
the South Seaers for the last century The men were
taken off and brought home, together with most of
the SKINS of which the plaintiff cleimed share, and
arrived safely at New London
This the amount of the and TIE jury, after
a charge from Judge Tallm adge to the law TO be
applied retired with instructions to bring in sealed
verdict this morning.
