destructive archer on the opposite side, since
we have here the brute monarch of the for
est subdued and guided by IA child. Over
this massive statuary, ascends an arch of
branching and curving foliage, in harmony
with that which we have mentioned on the
opposite compartment, and which loses no
favor upon renewed inspection. We finally
reach the lofty back of this gigantic car, and
see an immense eagle obtaining, gold, in the
act of rising upon expanded wings with our
national cscutcheon OF stripes and stars.
But we must again take a position in front
of this magnificent structure, in order to OBJ
tain view Of its interior, its canopy, and its
drapery. 1t has, within its body, five as
cending seats, covered, like its interior sides,
with plush and velvet, richly figured and
piled; and the high canopy which overarches
the last two seats, is curtnined with fine
purple cloth, bespanged with silver disks,
and iringed with border of silver lace and
stars. In the'centre of the back interior of
the canopy, is n hemisphere or rising sun,
composed oflarge golden scales or spangles,
in close radiation, and of vivid resplendency.
But tasteful and superb as is the whole of
this portion ofthe drapery, it is far surpassed
by that of the hammer cloth, which covers
the elevated front seat of the charioteer.-
This consists ofimperial purple velvet, pro-
ihSNlO SbNNlNh WIZ fSOIi anu SlINIi sur
Upon the corner folds, IN front, are eagles, in
form like those of the Roman standards, en-
brodered in slver and the whole is deeply
bordered with golden lions rampant, among
stars and silver flowers, and tringed with
mural lHppets in silver binding, each bearing
a crimson asterisk. Upon the front of the
canopy, embraced in wreath of golden
palm branches, are the letters J. r. and NJ,
the latter merely denoting the Monagerie,
and tie former being the initials of Mr.. Ray
mond, its opu!ent. enterprising, and estima-
BILE proprietor. Descending from this alti-
tude to the wheels upon which this stupen-
dous car moves, it is only necessary TO say
that they are of amply substantial strength,
wrought in the Moorish arabesque of Spain,
the interlacing curves between the spokes,
forming the pointed arches of that STYLE

Affecting Case of Mrs. Hinck,

The Boston Post gives the following mel
ancholy facts respecting this unfortunate
mother:
On Thursday, an examination of Mrs.
Hinckley was had before Hon. Nymphas
Marston, Judge of probate, under the rep
resentation the husband and father of Mrs.
HinckIcv, the mother of'the deceased child,
under the 5th section ofthe 4Sth chapter of
the Revised Statutes, relative to persons dam
gerously insane. Three respectable physi-
clans, Drs Ford Jackson and Doane, of Barn
stable, examined the patient and gave
decided opinion that it was case of mono
mania.
1t appeured in evidence, that this unlor-
uinate young mother, who is now about ~
years ofnge, was when child III 1889 Bit
ten in a swamp by snake in the heel, which
at the time had n serious effect upon her
nervous system; that subsequently at inter-
walls the symptoms re-appeared, and though
happy in her domestic relations and OF nat
urnlly cheerful disposition. she was ut times
subject to morbid melancholy, and on two
or three occasions attempted suicide. The
last visitation of this affliction was in 1913,
when her present husband, then engaged 10
her, himself rescued her fromuI attempt to
drown herself for which there was no known
or supposed apparent cause; Ihey were
attached to each other from childhood, and
with knowledge of all the circumstances
on the part ofthe husband, they were mar
ried in ISl5, and have always lived most
happily together, residing in the family of
the father of the husband, Mr.. Oliver Hinck-
lev, ship-builder, and most exemplary and
eslimabIe man.--Young Mrs. Ii. was mem
Der of the Methodist church, and II sweet
singer in Israel. In January l9lI and again
in April. two attempts were made to fire the
dwelling house of the father, MIR Hincklcy,
which excited unusual alarm in the quiet
and moral community in which such crime
was unheard of: All attempts to discover

A LESSON FOR ScoLDING WIvEs.-"And
dare say you have scolded your wife very
often, Newman" said !, once.
Old Newman looked down, and his wife
took up the reply:
''Not to signify-if he has, / deserved it,"
"And dare say, ifthe truth were told, you
have scolded him as often"
'Nay, "said the old woman. with a beauty
ofkindness which all the world cannot excel,
show can a wife scold her good man who has
been working for her and her little ones all
the day? 1t may do for a man to be peevish,
for il is he who bears the crossness of the
world; but who should make him forget them
but his own wife? And she had best for her
own sake--Gor nobody can scold much when
the scolding is all on one side.

"SEC. 2. ind be it further enacted, That
there shall be neither slavery nor involuntary
servitude in any territory which shall hereafter
be acqused or be annexed to the United States,

Mr. Upham sustained his amendment in

1t will ne recollected, Mr. President, that,
some weeks ago had the honor of present
