| WHAT is TON WEIGHT The Supreme
Court of Pennsylvania recently decided, that
according to the laws of this State ton weight
consisted of 1000 pounds and that greater
number ofpounds could not be legally exacted
in purchasing ton of coal, notwithstanding
the custom of giving 224O pounds in one part
of the State, and 2269 in another. The
United States District Court yesterday deci-
ded in suit in admiralty, that the legal
weight of ton of coal is 224O pounds, and
that the coal dealers have no more right to
give less, than grocers would have to give
less than sixteen ounces to the pound. As
the Constitution of the United States gives
to Congress the power to " fix the standard
of weights and measures" we suppose that
the act of 1884, passed by the Assembly Of
Pennsylvania, must yield to the higher au-
thority, and all the laws of this State pres.
cribing the size of yard measure, the cubic
contents ola bushel and of gallon, are null
and void where they differ from the United
States standard If this be the case, the
Sealer of Weights and Measures, and other
analogous Offices in the Commonwealth, are
entirely useless and illegal. The State laws
will doubtless be made to conform to tho
United States laws in those points where they
now differ. The Importance of having but
one standard will be perceived from the suits
at law to which various standards give rise
paper.

A good woman never grows old Years
may pass over her head, but if beneyolence
and virtue dwell in her heart, she is as cheerful
as when the spring of life first opened to her
view. When we look upon a good woman we
never think of her age ; she looks as charming
as when the rose of youth first bloomed on her
cheek The rose has not faded yet; it will
never fade. In her neighborhood she is the
friend and benefactor. Who does not respect
and love the woman who has passed her days
in acts Of kindness and mercy We repeat
such woman cannot grow old. She will al
always be fresh and buoyant in spirits, and
active in humble deeds of mercy ard benev,
olence.

EATING A MExIcAN-A correspondent of
the City of Philadelphia North American.
writing from Mexican village tells the
following story
I must tell you an anecdote that occurred
the first day we arrived The people had been
told that the Americans eat children, and all
these pledges of love had been removed.
Lieutenant NJ, of the dragons, having heard
this story, accosted a man, and asked him if
be knew where he could get "a nice fat boy
for supper he was very hungry"
The astonished Mexican answered. with
doleful shakes of the head, "hay no."
"Well, " said NJ, "as I'm hungry, ain's
particular-let us have little girl, then
The poor man, still more Mortified declared
shat there were none of these in the village.
M. then turned to him and inquired, "Well,
show me market where I can get nice piece
of a full grown man." This was too much
for the Indian, and he took to his heels in the
twinklin of jack knife.

STILL THEY CONF THE accounts which we ara
receiving from every portion Of the State are indeed,
of q most cheering character. The following, which
we extract from the Ouachita Register, we commend
to the attentive perusal of our readers
We have just learned through gentleman from
jackson parish that there have been FIFTY withdraw
alsf rom the Know Nothing councils in that parish
since the great KnowNo Nohing ratification meeting III
Vernon on the 21st ult. This is certainly cheering
news for the Democracy of jackson. We also learn
that the councils at Linnve and Spring HiIi in Union
parish, have dsbanded The news from Claiborne
is also cheering, We have seen letter from gen.
teman in that parish which says that since the
vass has opened, the Democrats are gaining ground
rapiaiy. Truly, the principles Of Know-N Nothingisa
win not bear the light of day.

A SNAKE ComBAT-Combats between the
rattle and black snakes are certain fthey
meet, and the black snake is with rare excep-
tions, the conqueror. Upon seeing each other.
these animals instantly assume their respec-
tive attitudes of defence, and display the great
difference in their organization. The rattle
snake coils itself up ready for attack or
defence; the black snake, being constructor
moves about from side to side, and isin
constant state of actiyity-naturally exciting
each others passions. The rattlesnake finally
settles down into glowing exhibition of ami
mostly, its fangs exposed, and It's rattles IN
constant agitation. The black snake, SEEM
insly conscious that the moment ofstrife has
come, now commences circling round its
enemy, absolutely moving SO swiftly that it
seems but a CLEAN ofdull light; the rattle snake
attempts to follow the movement, but soon
becomes confused and drops its head in
despair; then it is that the black snake darts
upon the back of the neck of its deadly foe,
seizes it between its teeth; and springing up
ward envelopes the rattlesnake in its folds.
The struggle though not long, is painfuI the
two combatants roll over in the bushes; but
every mement the black. snake is tightening
its hold Oh its adversary, until the rattlesnake
grasps for breath, becomes helpless, and at
length dies. For while tile black snake still
retains its grasp; you can perceive its strong
muscles working with constant energy; but
finally, it cautiously uncoils itself, and quietly
betakes to the water, where recovering iii
energy, it dashes about moment as if ii
exultation, and disappears from the scene

concluded that some sort Of " shake down.
