HuMBUGGING THE SQUIRE.-A St.
Louis paper tells of a couple Of sports
men who, while on a cunning expedi-
ton, wandered into one of the counties
Of Illinois, and commenced an onslaught
on the game out of season, and again s.
the statute in such case made AMI Prov
ded. They were hauled up before Il
Squire, an old soldier of the war of 1912,
and strict temperance man to boot-to
answer the offence, when one of them
thus ''pulled the wool over his eyes,
May it please the court, (as the word
court was mentioned, the Squire adjust
ed his spectacles, crammed his thumbs
into the arm-holes of his slirt, and tried
to look dignifed,) what are we arrested
forl For doing what! Disobeying a
foolish and outrageous law, framed by a
gang of drunken loafers, who knew moth
ing about the Constitution of the United
States or the Declaration of Independ-
ence. That sacred document, revered
by every pure patriot, and by every no
bic soldier who has fought, bled and died
for his country-that is, might have died
guarantees to every citizen life, liber-
ty and the pursuit of happiness. We
were in the pursuit of happiness, within
the meaning of the Declaration of Inde-
pendencc, which is higher law, in the
estimation of all patriots and soldiers,
the Squire's eyes began to dance with
excitement, as the speaker continued to
4allude to old soldiers and the Declara-
ton of Indepencc,) than a few framed
by loafers who meet at SPRINGFIELD every
two years, to play poker and drink rot
gut"
The Squire interrupts the speaker:
"Ken you show me that are passage
in the Declaration of Independence, that
wat you hev Just sed bout the pursuit
of happiness ?"
"Certainly ! can," replied the speak
er, picking up copy of the Revised
Statutes, and pointing it out. The Squire
examined it and said
"Mr. Constable, discharge the prison
ers, kase l don't believe in the new fash
ioned laws they make nowadays. Give
me the good old laws of Washington
and the revolutioners, for it certaihly is
a great happiness to shoot them ere
pesky birds that eat up the farmers
corn"

Persecution IN Madagascar The lat
est intelligence from this ill-governed
and miserably oppressed island is emf
nently sad and disheartening. A perse-
cution followed the expulsion of the
French in July last, which has proved
to be uncommonly severe. Thirteen
Christians have been put to death more
than fifty have been subjected to the
ordeal of their "tangues, (poison wa
ter,) with fatal results in the cases of
eight; more than fifty have been bound
in chains, two having died. and many
others are reduced to slavery. There
seems to be no hope, therefore, that
those who have embraced the doctrines
of the Bible will be tolerated during the
reign of the present Queen. Whether
her son will escape death of violence,
as he is known to be friendly to "the new
way" is quite doubtful.

Rumored Resignation Of the Pope
By the Africa we learn that rumor has
been afoat in Paris of an anticipated
change in the temporal government of
Rome, which will create surprise in the
mind of every people in Europe. Some
talk of the approaching abdication of the
Pope as certain thing, and already has
Father Ventura been spoken of as his
successor. The nomination of the latter
to a cardinalate in preparation for this
event has frequently been announced.
Upon an emergency such measure
would be considered indispensable. AS
general of the powerful organ of Igna-
thus, Father Ventura's position would
enable him to accept the papal crown
without probation.-PhH. Ing

The KANSAS CAMPAIGN BEous.-The second
Of August next Is the day appointed for the
election in Kansas, which is to decide the ad-
mission of that State into the Union under the
Lecompton constitution, or the rejection Of that
constitution by the Kansas people; and the
campaign was fairly opened by Ex-Governor
Stanton at Leavenworth the other evening, in
a flaming speech against Lecompton and the
administration. Very well This was expected
of Mr.. Stanton, and ii is also pretty generally
anticipated that the Lecompton constitution
will be rejected. But what then Why, the
people of Kansas must bdc their time, &C.
