The Delaware House of Representatives have
passed series of resolutions in relation to the
compromise measures, in which they declare the
strong attachment Of Delaware to the Union, and
the determination Of her people to resist to the
extent of their ability any nraction of the Consti
tuition. They express their cordial appreciation of
the measures recently adopted by Congress, known
as the compromise measures, and declare that
Delaware will stand by them in good faith Any
further agitation of the slave question they regard
as endangering the existence of the Union. The
fugitive slave bill is declared to be in accordance
with the express stpulations of the Constitution,
and Congress, for passing law which rendered
the act of 1893 more effectual, is considered as
entitled to the thanks of the country.

lutionary and martial law would be substituted in
the very first emergency.
They will have lost the benefit of the existing
constitutional prohibition of an established Religion
the right of the People to the freedom of speech
and of the press, and to assemble and petition for
the redress of grievances.
They will have lost, besides all these, the protec-
ton against quartering troops in any house in time
Of peace the protection against being held answer
able for crime unless by indictment by a grand
jury the protection against seizure of person and
papers, and against general search warrants; and
the protection against excessive bail and cruel and
unusual punishments.
They will have lost, in fine, all the guarantees
under the Constitution of Life, Liberty, and Pro-
perty, and all the obligations upon the Federal
Government under the Constitution to protect the
States against invasion, civil commoton, and
insurrection.
AGES would not repair the ruinous desolation
Of tiue gears of Secession.
But perhaps it may be answered by some
honest and yet credulous upholder of the pro-
ect of Secession, these rights, certainly of them
selves Of nestimable value, will not be altogether
lost by the withdrawal of the State from the Union

CaIieoes.

Calicoes are 50 called because they
were originally brought fro mr. Calicut
in Southern India. They are a
thicker, closer sort Of cloth, and made
of a larger cotton thread In the
East Indies the calicoes are all paint
ed by the hand, which is performed
with great expedition, But in Eu-
rope and in this country, they are
printed. There are two ways of do
ing this one is by copper-plate, just
as prints are engraved and printed;
that is, the Patterns cut out in large
plates of copper, by the craving
tool; these lines, or grooves, are flied
in with a proper ink; the surface Of
the plate is then cleaned, SO as to
leave ink only in the strokes; the
cloth is then placed over this plate,
and the whole is, violently pressed
with a roller, which forces the cloth
SO close to the plate, and even into
Fthe strokes, that all the ink in them
comes off upon the cloth. Engrav-
ing Of prints is done upon the same
principle; only paper, softened by
wetting, is used instead ofcloth; and
the whole work is much finer, and
more delieately done.
/ The other mode of printing is done
iby wooden blocks. The pattern is
drawn very correctly upon d block Of
smooth hard wood, as box or holly;
then all the parts between the actual
strokes Of the pattern are cut away,
lin deep hollows. If now the surface
| Of the block be daubed with ink, and
that surface be forcibly pressed down
on the cloth, the exact print of the
lpattern will be transferred to the
cloth; as flowers, or .sprigs, or birds
-ijlst as you see them on the curtains
/ Yet this is little more than-a mere
H outline, and the pattern has many
H ghy. eel@rs; these are often put in by
Il hhnd, with a camel-hair pencil, as i
drawing in water colors; which is ca
ST when the outlines are correctly
done.

Taking Notes.

A great many years ago, when
there were slaves in Massachusetts,
and some of the best men in the COM

Whom we may call Rey. Mr.. Cogswell,
who had an old and fhyorite servant

entertained a high respect for himself
Cuffee, Oh the Sabbath, might have

SO far as appearance indicated, profit

Cuffee noticed, one Sunday. morn

termined to DO the same thing. So,
in the afte1n Don, he brought sheet
of paper, and pen and ink. The min

his pew, could hardly maintain his
gravity, as b 9 saw hi S negro Spread
out to bis task, with one side of his
face nearly touching the paper, and
his tongue thrust out Of his mouth
Cuffee kept at his notes, however
until the sermon was concluded

When the minister reached home

Hats.

Beaver hats are said to have been

of Queen Elizabeth. The manufac-
ture Of hats has of late years becomq

and the Improvements made therein

The materials for making hats are
rabbits fur cut off from the skin,
together with wool and beaver; to
which may be added mole fur, ahd
