The Clayton Amendment he Compromise

The amendment made 10 the Nebraska bill in the Sen.
ate, the motion Of Mr. Clayton. furnishes one Of hs
prominent grounds Of objection with many persons The
passage Of the bill. We believe il was this amend.
men IN part, TO which Mr. Cutting took exception when
he moved to refer the bill TO the Committee Of the Who'll.
in the House The section amended and il passed
the Senate, is as follows:
"SEo. s. Amd be IL further enacted, That every free whit.

shall be such shall be prescribed by The legislative

Whatever objections can be taken to this feature Of the
bill passed by the Senate may be taken with the
force TO the act Of 1885, providing territorial government
for New Mexico. We need hardly add that the &C, Of
1850 giving territorial government TO New Mexico,is
one of the compromise measures. To show that the
Clayton amendment the Nebraska bill ID not an inter.

girl took service in hotel In the town OF ----
Poor thingl she had never heard Of warming

II 80 happened that on cool and drizzly night
a priest took lodgings at an inn. He had travelled
far, and being weary, retired at an early hour.
Soon after the mistress of the house called to
the servant girl Betty put the fiiar in number
six
The poor girl, not dreaming that by the word
i" friar" her mistress meant the warmng-pan, has
tened up TO the priest, who was comfortably set
tied in bed.
Up went Betty to the poor priest, "Your rev.
erencc must go into number six, my mistress
says
'"How, whys" asked the priest, alarmed at be.
ing disturbed.
''Your reverence must go into No. g."
There was no help for IL, and the priest arose,
donned dressing gown, and went to No. 8.
In about fifteen minutes the mistress called TO
Betty, Betty, put the friar into No. A."
Betty sad something about disturbing his rever-
ence, which the mistress did not understand. SO
she told the girl in sharp voice to do as she was
directed, and she would always do right Up went
Betty, and the unhappy priest, despite his angry
protestations, was obliged 10 turn out OF No. .,
and 90 to No. 4. But little time elapsed ere the
girl was told to put the fiar into No. 8. The poor
priest thinking that every one was mad IN the
house, and sturdily resolving TO quit i next morn
ing crept into the damp sheets Of No. 3. But he
was to enjoy no peace there. Betty was again di-
rccted TO put the friar in No 81 and with tears in
her eyes, she obeyed.
In about an hour the landlady concluded to go
to bed herself and the friar was ordered into her
room. Wondering what II meant, Betty reused up
the priest, and told him he must go into No. IL.
The patient monk then crossed himself counted
his beads, and went into No. III.

was troubled with "the grecn-eyed monster" jeal-
