A COOP STORY OF A PRETTY WIDOW.
The following story is told of an Ala
bama Sheriff:
Court was in session, and in the multi
plicity of business which crowded npon
him at the time, he stopped at the door OF
a beautiful widow, on the sunny side OF
thirty, who by the way had often bestow
ed melting glances upon the Sheriff atore-
said. He was admitted. and soon the
widow appeared. The confusion and de-
light which the visitors arrival had occa-
stoned set off to greater advantage than
usual, the captivating charms of the wild
ow NJ. Her cheeks bore the beau
tiful blended tints of the apple blossom;
her lips resembled rosebuds, upon which
the morning dew yet fingered; her eyes
were like the quivers of Cupid, the gances
of love and tenderness with which they
were filed resembling arrows that only
wanted fine beau (pardon the pun) to
the full execution. After few common
place remarks.
Madam" said the rnatter-of fact sher-
iff, Il have an attachment for you.
A deeper blush than ever mantled the
cheeks of the fair widow--Wlth downcast
eyes, whose glances were cen1ered upon
her beautiful feet, half concealed by the
flowing drapery, gently pattlng the door,
she with equal candor replied:
Sir the attachment is reciprocal
For some time the sheriff maintained
an astonished silence; at last he said
MADAM, will you proceed to court %
,o1 h, lad IU
with a merry laugh; then shaking her
head, she added: ''No, sir! though this
is Leap year. [ will not take advantage of
the license therein granted to my sex, and
therefore greatly prefer that yow should
proceed to court" "But madam, the
Justice is waiting
"I.et him wait; I am not disposed TO
hurry matters in such an unbecomlng
manner; and besides, sir, achen the cere-
mona Is performed, | wish you to under
stand that [ prefer a minister to JUS
tice of the peace.
MADAM" said he, rising from his
chair with great dignity, there is great
mistake here; my language has been
misunderstood the attachment of which
/ speak was issued from the office OF
ESQUIRE --, who commands me to
bring you instantly before him, to answer
a contempt of court, in disobeying sub

A MODERN MIRAcLE.-The editor of
the New York Freman's Journal, pub
lshed last week letter from a cores
pondent at Rome, dated in January, 1S49,
in which it is asserted that, during the
offering of prayer for the Pope, there
were exhibited piece of the cross on
which the Redeemer was crucified and
the famed "Suarium' "a sort of hand
kerchief with which it is alleged, the
perspiration was wiped from his face,)
which is said to bear scarcely visible
impression of the Saviour's countenance,
The correspondent says that, during
the exhibition, the "Suarium" underwent
change, and soon CLEANED with soft
light, in the centre of which, was the
Redeemer's face clearly and distinctly
revealed to the entire audience. The
Journal promises further extracts from
the same letter.

The Question Seliitd.

Ma. EDIToE:-The bill which passed the
House some time since, TO repeal 50 much Of the
AppOrionmsnl Law Of last winter, as divides
the county Of Hamilton into two Senatorial and
Representative Districts. was defeated on is f.
nal passage in the Senate this afternoon, by q
vote Of 10 ayes to II noes-ihree Locos and
two Wings we're absent-SPeaker Randall voted
with the Wings. Two Locos and two Wings
Of The absenlees were paired of, and Speaker
Randall proposed 10 pair of with Mr.. Ewing,
who was confined 10 his room by sickness, but
the locos refused to let him do 50, hoping that
he would vote with them. as a consideration for
the votes they gave him for Speaker; but IN thi,
they were disappointed. Whilst Mr.. Randall
has extended 10 them every courtesy, and in.
dulged them with a greater degree Of lenily
and INDUCED them with a greater degree Of
leniy, than they ought TO have demanded at bis
hands as the presiding officer Of the Senate
even TO that degree that the Wings have haC
just cause Of complaint against him-yet he
could not 60 so far, as to sacrifice his principles
or jeopardize bis reputation as a man of sense
for the sole purpose Of gratifying the wishes o
his Locoloco friends, at the great sacrifice o
disregarding the will Of his constituents, anc
misrcpresenting that portion Of the State from
which he was elected. In this vote he has done
honor to himself and his constituents, in sus
tanning law Of the STATE, that has been shame
fully tramPIed upon, and dsregarded by the
majority in the House of Representatives, con
sisling of the Locolocos proper, and "tie ball.
lance Of pOCer."
The question of the Apportionment Law may
now be regarded as seuled. The same vote thai
gave this bill quietus, will fix the fate Of the
general bill that passed the House q few days
ago. mean the one that provided for the elec.
ton of thirty Seren Senatorsl!
Both branches of the Legislature have agreed
10 adjourn sine die, on the 26Ih. Not too soon
10 suit the people-eh!

FROM MEXICO.

The New Orleans press has received news.
papers from the city of Mexico to the Gath ut.
They abound in complaints against Santa Anna,
whose name is used as the rallying cry with all
discontinued spirits. Being suspected of de-
sign to return TO Mexico, the Congress has dee
med it expedient to pass the following resolu-
lions respecting him:
General Don Lopez de Santa Anna shall in.
form the Supreme Government, when he may
Judge it convenient, of the time when he intends
10 return to the republic, and the point at which
he will embark.
"2. The Government shall impart to Con-
gress whatever information may be received, in
order that prompt measures may be taken for
the preservation of order and tranquility.
"3. Should General Santa Anna return to
the republic, it is necessary that he should pre-
viously express his determination to do so, and
be furnished with copy Of these resolutions.
"4. The Government shall take especial care
to bring this decree to the knowledge of Gener-
al Santa Anna"

be entitled 10 by is population, aud 10 another,
teusr. And At the neat election, thodislrieithaI
had fewer members than il was entitled to the
year previous, was allowed mOrs-and the one
that had been over represented, was allowed
tstoer. But especial care was taken 10 give TO
Locofoeo counties at the first election under the
Law, a greater representation than they were
entitled to, and leave The Whig districts without
their full representation. Thus, one Locofoco
county with a population Of a liue over 5000,
was allowed by this law, tioO Representatives,
and adjoining county with over 60OO voters,
was allowed but one.
Then again, when a county with a large de.
mocratic majority lay adjacent 10 a county with
a Wing majority not SO large, each Of which
would be entitled to one Representative, they
we're thrown into one district, aud required 10
elect two members in common. The result
was, that whilst Vance, the Wing candidate for
Governor, in 1896, was elected by a majority Of
6OOO-and whilst a still larger majority was
given TO Gen. Harrison, the Locofocos elected
minority Of both branches Of the legislature,
and at the next session, Allen was elected to
the Senate over that sterling Whig, Tom Ew-
ing. The next winter, the tables were changed
by this law, and the Wings carried the Legisla.
ture. This fraudulent gerrymander, was prac-
tised at the session Of lS39-4O, bv the Loco
locos, with similar success. Although, Mr..
Corwin was elected Governor by a majority OF
$4,000, the Wings had bare majority in the
House, whilst the Locolocos carried The Senate.
Through the destructive measures n the Lo.
coiocos. and the disalTecton of the hards, after
another attempt to Gerrymander in 1843, the
Wings had majority in the House, but the Lo.
cos still held the Senate. The Wings then at
tempted to discard this trick of "hoats" and
"double DISTRICTS" without succeeding. And
ever since have they been striving to bring back
the State to an honest and fair apporonment
and secure to the people just and equal repre-.
sentation in the Legislature.
Hamilton county, hitherto, has been "dou-
bic district" electng three Representatives and
Two Senators in common. The Wings did re-
form this--and ereupon the Locofos made q
regular Santa Anna attempt at revolution. The
Bill we have here noticed, is the last fzzle OF
this splendid abortion.

A Case Of Conscience.

W. c. HowLEs, ESQ.,, late of the Hamilton
lnlelIigencer, was "ne of the Wing editors in
Ohio who refused to aid the election of Gen.
Taylor. He retired from the editorial chair,
into private life. Having read the Inaugural
address of the President, he has published his
recantation in the paper he formerly conducted,
and among other sensible things, says: 81 look
10 the new administration as all that Wings and
patriots could reasonably desire, and ought most
cordially to supp0rt." This discovery is too
late 10 be of any practical benefit in the election

Hamilton AppOrtiOnment Bill.

This Bill changing the apporlionment Law
OF last WINTER so as to reduce Hamilton county
to one 3lection district, was rejected by the
Senate, OH the third reading. Thus one more
step has beer taken, confirming the fairness and
constitutiohality of the Appouonment Law
The system of single Representative districts
is, without doubt, the true representative system.
1t is the principle recognized by Congress in
accordance with the doctrine, that Represen.
aatiyes in the Legislature should be representa-
4ives of the peopie-and not of territories. If
the election by general ticket be fair, and in ac-
cordanee with the constitution OF sound policy,
in reference to the county Of Hamilton, it is
equally fair, constitutional and polite, in refer
ence to the State at large. And yet we suppose
no one would think it good policy, that the Cen
eral Assembly Of this State, or our entire dele
CATION in Congress Should be voted Tor by the
electors at large, on a single ticket
"Double Districts" and what is called
"foats,' originated in fraud, and the basest Po-
lilical gambling. In the Session of the Legls-
laiure of 1855, the Locofocos had large
majority. new aPPortonment was to be
made; and as United States Senator was
10 be elected at the first Session after the new
apportionment, it was deemed necessary that
the State should be so apporlioned as to secure
the Locofocos the election of Allen, then we
believe, in Congress. To effect this; the cum
ningly devised system of "AOats,' was origina-
led. They allowed to one county or district at
the first election, more members than it would

Domestc Items.

Roast meat is more nutritious than boiled, as
in boiling the geIatine is exlricated, and is dis
solved in the water.
Coffee should never be boiled, as boiling ex-
tracts and dispels the fine aromatic oil which
gives it flavor and strength. 1t should be made
by pouring boiling water through coffee in a
slrainer.
Writing paper dipped in brandy is often used
in covering preserves and jams; but it has bad
effect, sthe spirit soon evaporates, and the mois-
ture which remains, produces moudiness.
Look for great things, and WORK for great
things, and great things will surely be accom-
plshed.
