IL was formally the cus,e in some
German towns for the butchers to carry
abou. an immense sausage on New
Years day, and make merry over il.
The butchers of Konigsberg made one,
in 1925, which was SGT yards long,
weighed 494 pounds, contained besides
other ingredients, SO hams, and was
borne by SO journeymen butchers, on
wooden forAs. After an interval of
eighteen years the butchers of Konigs.
berg made much larger sausage which
was 1905 yards long, and for which they
employed 81 smoked hams, and ls
pounds of pepper, aud i. weighed near
ly Iiue hundred pounds. They carried
II around the town on New Years day,
with great solemni.y, and accompanied
by bands of music. and then ale il in
company with the Bakers, who had
made out of twelve bushels ofrye flour,
eigh, great loaves, each five yards long,
and baked six huge cakes, which they
carried in procession through the town
on the 5th of January, and which the
butchers afterwards helped them to de.

IN our harbnr on Tuesday morning, was
said to have been the larges, vessel con-

She was three hundred aud twenty five
feet long, and was supposed to be capa-
bic of Carrying six Thousand tons OF caf-
go, though only rated little over four
thousand five hundred tons burihen. II
may be interesting at this time, since
the two vessels have been alluded to In
this connection, TO learn The Dimensions

superior in proportions, 70 the modern
ship OF Mr.. Donald Mckay.

feet broad. and a. fee, deep and of GAS
tons burthen. Archimedes constructed
a ship for Hero, King of Sy racuse. OF
such large dimensions that none Of the
lIarbors Ia Sicily or Greece could receive
il.
Noah's Ark, By those who are curious
in such things, has been calculated TO
have contained 500 900 cubic feet, an
was ofll,905 tons burden. A remark

Thrilling Incident.

AT a temperance meeting in Philadel-

man spoke in favor Of wine as drink,
demonstrating it quite to his own satis-
faction TO the spiritual, gen.lemaniy and
healihful. When the clergyman So
down, plain. elderly man arose az
asked the liberty of saying a few word
PERMISSION being granted, he spoke az
follows:
"A young friend of mine (said he)
who had long been inlemperaie, was
prevailed on. to the Joy of his friends,
to take the pledge oil entire abstinence
from all that could intoxicate. He kent
the pledge faithfully for some time. sho'
the struggles with his hsbi, was fearful.

and after rapid downward course, he

ance. and was just able TO add-"Phat

the clergyman was the Reverend Doctor

p. s. The amended (9) Nebraska
Bill, introduced by Mr.. Douglas, was
promptly printed al length in the wash.
lngton Sentinel. AS printed, il did not
meet the views Of certain Southern gen,
.Iemen, and /, was then discovered that
an impor.aot tc"lara.ory section, legs.
Iating into the bill lie principles OF the
Compromises, had been omitted by a
citrical error! Even after This rem..k
able clerical error had been rec,ifed. the
bill was unsatisfactory, and now Mr..
Douglas proposes more amendments
to divide the Territory into two; to
charge the Treasury with the expense of
two Territorial Governments; TO strike
on, the clerical error section, and inser.
else where in the bill clause excepting
from the laws of the United States ex.
tended over the Territory, the Missouri
Prohibition. This last purposed amend.
ment will read thus:
"Ihat the Constitution and all laws OF
The United States, which are. not locally
inapplieable. shall have the same force
and effect within the said Territory of
Nebraska as elsewhere within the United
States, except The eighth section of the
act preparatory tn the admission of NJ is.
souri, into the Union, approved March 6.
1920, which was superseded by the prin.
ciples Of the legislation of 1850. com
monty called the Compromise Measures
and IS hereby imperative"
This amendment is manifest falsifi
cation OF the truth OF history, as is shown
IN the body of the foregoing address
Not man in Congress or on, OF Con
gress, in 1850, pretended that the Com.
premise Measures would repeal the Mis-,
souri, Prohibition. Mr.. Douglas himself
never advanced such 2retence nntll this
session. His own Nebraska bill, oi las.
session rejected ii. 1t is sheer after
thought. To declare the Prohibition in
operative, may, indeed, have effect in
law as a repeal, but it is the most dis
credi!lb.a way cf ;c.aching the object.
VIII the People permit their dearest in.
terests to be thus made the mere hazards
of Presidential game. and destroy ed
by false facts aud false inferences!
