our financial troubles in this language
reader who has carefully followed and candid
ly considered the line Of argument pursued in
this discussion will now be at no loss to dis
cover wherein lies, in our judgment, the radi-

speculation aud rash over-trading and luxuri-
Gus extravaganza are the immediate causes OF
these recurring pressures; but behind them
all exists the procuring causes of them all, il
a monetary system which tends, by the vice.
and defects of its structure, to create th'
conditions most propilious TO the unnatura
growth and development oi these secondar,
causes which are the sure precursors of coming
disasters. And it is for precisely these none

our business activity that National Bank

The NEW CONSTITUTION OF EdoE.--The
new constitution OF Oregon bids fair to con-
tain some curious features. One Of these,
prepared at the last dates, in the convention,
was 10 abolish the grand jury system on ac-
count Of its expense and inquisitorial charac-
ter, and substitute therefor the result of exam
nations before Justices of the peace. Another
is to make the Governor ex-officio treasurer OF
the Stste, to have no Lieut.. Governor, and to
make the Secretary Of State Governor pro
tenn, ia ease OF the death OF the exc
cutiye. A third novelty is the limitation OF
the number OF members of the State Senate to
fifteen, and of the Assembly to thirty, With
biennial sessions. A fourth is the pipd p0ce
system of voting at all public elections, This
has been done all along in Oregon, and is the
old English plan, adopted thence into Virginia,
and carried westward through Kentucky ana
Missouri to Oregon. The voting is done IN tne
same way in Kansas. There are some otheI
Interesting features which may be briefly statea
thus Judges of courts are rendered Ihengl'
BILE to any office other than Judicial one nur-
ing the terms for which they may have been
elected. and for one year thereafter; towns
aud cities are prohibited from contracting debts
for any porpose whatever banking charters
are absolutely prohibited, so that he business

TRAdEDY.-We learn from the Cleveland
Reyiew Of Oct. 18th, that the wife of Mr.. Hub
bell, lawyor Of 0ntonagon, recently killed
herself by cutting her throat. The reason and
circumstances were said to be these;
She believed that her infant child ~onld be
an idiot, and this idea so deranged he- mind
that she gave 1t laudanum and it died. She
then took the same poison herself, and soon
afterwsrd cut the veins of her arm, and then
her throat. -.H .

TaE LHoLERA.-This fatal scourge contin-
ues to commit fearful ravages at Stockholm.-
Among its recent victims was the Chief oil the
Navy Office. The day before his death he
was in perfect health, aud did business as
usual. A ChFistinansand three hundred PET
sons had been carried oil, and in Norway II
has also been committing terrible ravageS.-
So, too, at knoigshurg, where the victims a re
attacked, without any premonitOTy symptoms.
The general health Of the United States is so
excellent that il is almost impossible to realize
the condition OF affairs noticed above. The
year 1867 has, indeed been one Of remarkable
exemption from disease, SO fur as the millions
of our population are concerned. In this,
therefore, we have been eminently favored by
Divine Providence.
We learn that Mr.. James II. Eldredge, who
during the last winter taught in School District
No. AZ, New Castle Hundred and, who since
that period has been engaged as principal off.
Ger of the House of Refuge of Philadelphia
had recently rendered to him a complimentary
supper, on which occasion there wasp presented
to him copy Of the Holy Scriptures.
Mr.. Eldredge has resigned his position IN
the ssRefuge,'' in order that he may accept
a post as tutor in the Mount Pleasant Military
Academy situated on tue Hudson River.
Mr.. E.'s resignation was accepted with mucn
reluctance by the managers of the Refuge,
he had proved himself valuable officer.

well wishes Of many friends.

A GREAT COUNTRY FOR THE LADIES.
The time for marriage in Sparta was fixed
by statute-that' of the men at about
thirty or thirty five years; that of the wo-
men at about twenty or little younger.
All men who continued unmarried after
the appointed time were liable to prose-
cution and old bachelors were prohibi-
ted from being present at the full exercise
of the Spartan maidens, and were denied
the usual respect and honors paid to the
aged. "Why should I give you place."
cried young man to an unmarried gene
RAIL-" "when you will have no child to give
place to me when I am old?" No mar
riage portions were given with any of the
maidens, so that neither poverty should
prevent gallant nor riches tempt him, to
marry contrary to his inclinations The
parents of three children enjoyed consid-
erable immunlties, and those with four
children paid no taxes whatever regu-
lation which all married men with large
families will readily admit to be most wise
and equitable. It was customary for the
bridesmaid to cut off all the brides hair
on the wedding-day, so that, for some time
at least, her personal attractions should
increase with her years.-Life and TraU-
els of Heroddtus.
