GFThe following is a copy Of the resolu-
tons relative to the Missouri Compromise
which passed the Wisconsin Assembly
WIFE EEA5, The measure commonly known
as the Missouri Compromise, has been rerar-
ded as sacred agreement for more than thir-
ty years, by the people of these United States

South, therefore,
Pesolved, By the Assembly, the senate con-
curing, that any alteration, modification, or

pair the fabric of our government,by fresh re-
newal of those agitations which in times past
nave threatened dissolution of the Union.

tatlves in Congress be urgently requested to

prssage of any bill which may permit the in
PRODUCTION or establishment of slavery within

HATRED OF CIRcAssIAN WOMEN To-
WARDS THE RUssIANs.-As an instance
of the bitter hatred felt by the Clrcas-
slams towards the Russians, it is stated
that few years ago, a slave ship
sprung a leak out at sea, just as Rus
sian steamer passed in the distance
The Turkish slave dealer, who preferred
even the chill blast of Siberia to grave
IN deep water, made signals of distress,
and the steamer came up in time to res
cue the ship and its living cargo from
destruction. But SO deeply is hatred OF
Russia implanted in every Circassian
heart, that the spirit of the girls re-
volted at the thoughts of becoming the
helpmates of the grey-coated soldiers,
instead of sharing the sumptuous couch
of a Turkish Pasha. They had bid
adieu to their native mountains with
little emotion, but as the Russian ship
approached, they set up terrible and
despairing scream. Some sprang head
long into the sea; others drove their
knives into their hearts. To these he
roines, death was preferable to the bridal
bed of detested Muscovite. The sur
vivors were taken to Anapa, and mar
ried to Cossacks, or given to the officers
&C servants.

TuRKrsH BR6YERY.-When crossing
at Hirchoya, single Turk exhibited
degree of bravery which would paral-
lei anything of the kind performed in
our Mexican war. He was private
soldier of the Bachi Bayouk, and had.
by some means, been separated from
his regiment while retiring from the
enemy. Seeing his unprotected posi-
ton. three or four Russian troops made
a dash for him. But the Turk, un-
daunted, stood up to receive them, and
as the foremost trooper swung his Eorse
to deal the blow, the soldier by a pow
erful effort, seized his horse and threw
him on his launches, and then, quick as
lightning, cleft the troopers SKULL
Then springing to the saddle, he turned
to face the others, one of whom, by bis
uniform, betoken the officer. Instead o.
waiting the charge, he shouted the name
of Allah, and spurred to the contest
With single hand he maintained the un'
equal fight for sometime, and till two
out of four lay at his feet. The Russian
officer still fought bravely, but animated
by fanaticism, and the determination tc
conquer, the Moslem seized the officer
though a large man, by the belt, and
dashed him like child to the earth
With another blow he hurled the re-
naming trooper from the saddle, and
securing the steeds, he made his way il
safety to the Imperial camp, where hi
exploit had been witnessed, and wber'
he was dubbed captain on the spot.
merely mention this incident to show
that, though much moderated by th'
world in general, the Turk has bravery
and courage, and would, under gooc
discipline, form most efficient soldier.

A KENTUCKY HUNTER.-The cores
pondent of the Evansville Journal
writes as follows about Kentucky Hun
Ter:
"Wat Eckman has followed hunting

Since that period, he says, he has killed
thirty-eight bears, nine hundred and
eigty-four wolves, three thousand eight
hundred and forty-seyen coons, nine
hundred and nienty foxes, nine hundred
and sixty-one wild geese, two thousand
and forty pheasants. forty-four ground
hogs, eighty wildcats, fourteen polecats,
two hundred minks, besides squirrel,
quail and other small game beyond his

HoRRIBLE.-At Norristown, Pa, last
week a miserable mother cut off the
head of her child, an infant six weeks
old. The head was cut off close to the
lower jaw, leaving the whole of the
neck on the body, and probably the
nearestreason that could have prompted
to such deed, was disclosed in a store
pass-book, found about the house. In
the space of twenty-six days, twenty
nine quarts of liquor were charged
therein, and in about two and half
months sixty-seven quarts were charged.
She was committed to the Montgomery
county prison. The man who sold the
liquor, should be made party to the
murder.

THR GArsEs'l SUR NOT EEDED.-It
s known that the talented, indefatiga-
ble and heroic widow of The late Gen.
Gaines arrived In this city few days
since. We have ascertained the motive
of her visit. In the suit instituted by
her few years ago, she claimed as heir
in-law to her father. Daniel Clark, and
also as a legssee under the win Of 1913,
said to have been destroyed. Some
doubt arising about the jurisdiction o.
any other than the Probate courts o.
Louisiana in reference to the legacy un-
der the will, her claim in virtue thereof
was abandoned, and she relied entirely
upon her right as heir-at-law. In tnls
she was unsuccessful; but the supreme
Court in its decision suggested tne eA-
nediencv of her resorting to the Pro-
hate Conrt with view the probate oi
tbe missing will. This she has deter
mined to do; and in SO doing she is en-
cnuraped by an elaborately written opin-
ion Of Judge Campbell, of the United
States Supreme Court (concurred in by
that eminent jurist, General Walter
Jones, of Washington, George Wood,
ESQ.,, and Judge Kent, of New York,
and a greatnumber of other distinguish
ed lawyers that the evidence at hand,
and which is beyond the reach of acci-
dent or fraud, of the execution and de-
struction of the will of 1913, is over
whelming. 1t is upon this important
document that she bases her immense
claims.

PooR CARrKR.-Some of the students
of the Indiana State University were
suspected 10 be in the habit Of drinking
brandy. Where they obtained Is. was
! a mystery. DIR. Daily determinea 70
ferret out the mystery. Calling snto a
small drug store, the proprietor asked
him sbov that sick studeut, Mr.. Carter,
came onr Smelling rat, the doctor
answered in an nevasiye manner, and soon
drew out of the apothecary that stu
dents under suspicion had been in the
habit of purchasing brandy for sick
student by the name of Carter; that he
was quite low, and was kept alive BY
stimulants; that the young gentlemen
seemed very much devoted to him
Now the secret was out. This Carter
was fictitious character, and the Doc
tor had the secret.
However, he kept his own council
The next time the students assembled
| in the chapel for prayers, he cast his
eyes over the crowd and satisfied him
self that Carter's nurses were all pres
eut. The devotions were duly conduct
ed and then he called the attention Of
the students, remarking that he had a
mournful task to perform-as president
of the university it became his duty to
announce the death of their FELLOWSHIP
dent, Mr.. Carter. After a lingering i'll
ness of several weeks, a portion Of which
he was only kept aliue by stiDauldnts, he
had breathed his lastt He had no doubt
this announcement would fall sadly on
| the ears Of those who had SO faithfully
attended to his wants, but he hoped
they would bear it with resignation
he hoped they would reflect upon the
Oft repeated words .Meme'ato Mori-
that he would now no longer detain
them but leave them to their own re-
| fiectionsl f.-e
The result of this announcement was
startling. None of the professors, and
but few Of the students, had ever heard
of Carter. who is hep was whisper
ed. None knew but the kind friends
who attended him. and they wouldn't
tell; and the president seemed so deeply
affected they didn't like to ask him.

EVIDENCE OF SANITY.-One of the
facts at Franklin, Pa, put in evidence
at the trial in the Supreme Court, to
sustain the will of the late William Rus
sell, was, that only few days before he
had made the will, he had called at the
Office of the Democrat and paid for his
paper year in advance, thereby saving
fifty cents. The Court and jury, upon
this decided that he was Of a sane mind.
They therefore also decided that the
world was full of crazy people.
