Mr.. MADISON THE EXTENSION TERRITORY.
We call the attention of those who can SEQ nothing
but evil in increase Of territory to the views
of Mr.. Madison they to be found in the FEEDER
alist. In the fourteenth number of that work, Mr.
Madison says:
"All that remains within this branch of our en-
quries is take notice of objection that may be
drawn from the great extent of country which our
Union embraces. A few observations on this subject
versares Of the constitution nvailing them
selves of prevailing prejudice with regard to The
practicable sphere of Republican Administration, in
order TO supply, by imaginary difficulties, the want Of
those solid objections which they endeayor in vain to
find
''The error which limits Republican Govern nent to
narrow district has been unfolded and refuted in
preceding papers. repark here only that it seems
to its rise and prevalence chiefly the confound-
ing of Republic with Democracy.
''As the natural limit of democracy is the dis
lance from the central point, which will just permit
the most citizens to assemble often as their
public functions demand, and will include no greater
number than will join in those functions, so the ma
tural limit of republic is the distance from the
tre which will barely allow the representatives Of the
people to meet often may be necessary for the
administration of public affairs"
The principle here laid down by Mr.. Madison
would certainly not exclude any territory that the de-
mocratic party is willing to add to this Union.
With the increased and increasing facilities for tray
elling this continent, the representatives Of the
most distant States and Territories will he able TO at
tend the sitting of our National Congress

YUcATAN-The New York Globe estimates the
white population of Yucatan at 100000 Indians and
$4,000 whites, though the latter number is undoub-
edly too low. The principal cities in the North and
West, are Merida, (the cnpital,) Campeachy. and
Sisal These still in possession Of the whites.
The population Of Merida is probably 10000, and
Canpeachy about $1,000. Recent accounts repre-
sent that many as $4,000 whites have been massa-
cred though this too is probably greatly exaggerated
The whites have mostly left the interior and located
in towns on the sea coast. Campeachy, by late ad-
vices daily threatened with attack by Indians
who were in large numbers near the town. Il is

seem TO belong to a different race.
Without assistance the soil of Yucatan must revert
to the possession of its ancient owners. Whether
know not. The United States have been urged TO
render it, as well on the ground of humanity, of
public policy, which requires that should prevent
some European power from taking possession of the
country.

wemnn's TENDERNESS and Lo,e.

Ii has been said that in sickness there is
no hand like woman's hand; no heart like
woman's heart; and there is not. A man s

10 this ministry, even for the sake of the
brother Of his heart, or father Of his being,
and his grosser nature, even where it is
more perfect, will tire; bis eyes will close,
and his spirit grow impatient Of his dreamy
task; and though love and anxiety remain
undisturbed, his mind will own to itself a
creeping in Of an irresistible selfshness,
which indeed he may be ashamed of and
struggle to reject, but which, in spite OF all
his efforts, remains to characterize his nature
and prove in one instance at least, manly

from time to time it catches the slightest stir
or whisper, or the breath Of the now more

human affection. Her steps, as in obedi-
ence to an impulse Of signal, would not
awaken mouse; if she speaks, her words
are soft echo Of natural harmony most de.
licious to the sick mans ears; conveying all
that sound can convey, Of pity, comfort and
devotion; and thus night after night she tends

The Emperor Of Nhiua Haunting.

Having crossed several hills, we now ar
nved in an opea place, skirted by yerdant
heights; and in the early morning the stag
hunt was begun, which, being conducted in a
manner quite different from ours, | shall
here describe infinitely. On this occasion
the army consisted Of twelve thousand sold
iers, divided into two wings, one OF which
passed towards the east, then turned north
wards whilst the other proceeded to the
west, then likewise turned in northern d.
rection. As they went on, each man halt
ed, so as TO remain about a bowshot distant
from the next, till at length they surround
ed the hills. Then, at given word, in an
instant they advanced slowly towards the
centre of the circle, driving the stays before
them, and went on in this manner until one
was not more than half bowshot from the
other. Every alternate soldier now halted,
and the next continuing to advance, two
circles were formed, one being at consid-
cradle distance from the other. After this
they all moved in the same direction. till
the soldiers of the inner circle, being so
near as TO shake hands, divided again and
formed third circle; when, preserving
their relative distances, they advanced again
till the soldiers and horses of the innermost
circle touched each other. The inner or
third circle was less than a bowshot distan,
from the second. but the distance from this
to the outer circle was much greater. The
three circles having thus taken up their ul-
innate position, the Emperor entered into
the centre. followed by the male part of his
family and relatives, and surrounded by the
best and most expert hunters, armed for his
defence. The ladies were conducted into
pavi!ions erected upon a neighboring hill.
where they could view the sport without be.
ing seen. A similar situation was allotted
to US, bat We remained on horseback. The
signal being given, the Emperor himself
opened the chase by killing good number
of the multitude Of stays thus surrounded.
and when weary he gave permission to his
sons and relations to initiate him. The
stays perceiving themselves hemmed in and
slaughtered on all sides attempted to Escape
by breaking through the circle, but the sold
lers, being accustomed TO this, instantly
drove them back with shouts, and the noise
they produced by striking the leather hous.
lngs of the horses with their stirrups. Many
OF the stays, however, urged by pain or fear,
leaped over the horses, or forced passage
with their horns. The soldiers Of the sec.
ond circle then endeavored to drive them
back to the centre, but il they did not sue.

Influence sr kI.das.- ON the ssr.e

The Turkish horse is mixed offspring
from the Arabian and the Persian breeds,
and from some kindred varieties. Itisas
gentle and as tractable as the Arabian.
but neither so fleet nor so vigorous. Bus.
bequies, who went as ambassador 10 Con-
stantinople in the seventeenth century.
says: There is no creature so gentle as a
Turkish horse, nor more respectful to his
master, or the groom that dresses him.
The reason is, because they treat their
horses with great lenity; The country
men in Pontus stroke them, bring them
into their houses and almost to their Ia
bles, and use them even like children;
and the grOOmS frequently sleek them
down with their hands, and never use a
cudgel TO bang their sides but in cases OF
necessity. This makes their horses great
lovers Of mankind; and they are so far
from kicking. wincing, or growing untract-
able by this gentle usage, that YOU will
hardly ind an ill-tempered horse amongst
them" The Turkish horse takes rank
with the Arabian and the Barb as a con-
tributor to the improvement of the Eng
lish horse.

Macbeth broke no law Of hospitality in
his attempt on Duncan's life. He attacked
and slew the king at a place called Both
gowan, or the Smiths house, near Elgin, in
1899, and not, as has been supposed, in his
own castle Of Inverness. The act was
bloody, as was the complexion Of the times;
but in very truth, the claim of Macbeth to
the throne, according to the rules Of Scottish
succession, was better than that Of Duncan.
As king, the tyrant so much exclaimed
against was, in reality, firm, Just and equi-
table prince. Early authorities show us no
such person as Banquo and his son Fleance,
nor have we reason to think that the latter
ever fled further from Macbeth than across
the flat scene according to the stage direc-
lion. Neither were Banquo or his son an
cestors Of the house Of Stuart. All these
things are now known, but the mind re-
tains pertinaeiously the impressions made By
the imposition Of genius. While the works
of Shakespeare are read, and the English
language exists, history may say what she
will, but the general reader will only recol-
leot Macbeth as the sacTilegious usurper, and
Richard as the defomed murderer. The
genius Of Shakespeare having found the
tale Of Macbeth in the Scottish chronicles
Of Hollingshed, adorned it with a lustre
similar to that with which a level beam of
the sun often invests some fragment Of glass,
which, though shining at distance with the
lustre Of diamond, is, by a nearer investi-
