to issue work of their own, and the enor-

of the illustrations, embellishments and or

ca The House Committee Of Congress
which had the matter of the Rock Island
bridge in charge have reported that the struc-
ture is serious obstacle to navigation,
but deem it inexpedient to legislate IN the
matter as they consider it question for the
courts.

GY-It has been customary for some time,
when man is arraigned before Court of
Justice, for his counsel to put in plea Of
insanity on behalf of the accused. Yester-
day an old negro man applied to us for in
struction how to proceed against one of his
race, whom he charged with purloining a
dollar from him. He told US he had placed
three silver dollars in a small, but strong
box, which he kept in his room: that few
days ago Handy Andy 1--WE call him) broke
the box open, took q dollar therefrom, and
decamped. We told him it was useless to
prosecute Andy unless he had proof to sub
stantiate bis charge, and then probably the
accused would be acquitted on the plea Of
insanity, rs no sane man would take one, and
leave two dollars behind. The old man ex-
claimed with great emphasis, 'Massa, tell
you dat nigger amt crazy; he broke my box
open and took de dollar out. Now If he
had broke de box open and put dollar in,
den say he's crazy" His argument was
conclusive, and We sent him to the clerk Of
the Police Court.-Louisuille Democrat.

MIUST ASTHEY RUN"

Years ago, when Cherry Valley was still
q city Of refuge from the incensed red man,
Judge Cooper, the father of our great nov-
elist, entered, and became in process of
time s'seized and possessed of certain tracts
Of land lying about Otsego Lake, parcels of
which he, from time to time leased at low
rates to good occupants. sa& atf a=-EE
Among other applicants appeared one
johnson, rather wag in his way, who wish
ed well known farm bordering on the lake.
The Judge proposed that fresh fish, in GER
tain amounts and at stated times, should
constitute the rent of the farm. ss,~~
To this proposition johnson, who had
seine, was willing to accedc; but stated
repugnance, shared by every member of his
family, towards eating fish from which the
best had been selected. "But, Judge" con-
tinued he with great apparent candor. 'I'll
tell you what it is: if you will agree to take
the fish just as they run, you may bring along
your document.' -
The Judge assented, remarking that .
seine would not cutch the small fry; and the
lease was duly drawn up and Agned by the
parties. Nothing further was heard from
johnson, and some months elapsed, when
the Judge, feeling little ''fshy, - proceeded
to hunt him up. ais.
81 am after my fish! - shouted he as he
saw johnson busy at log pier.
"Ah, yes; just help yourself, judge" was
the reply, 'there they all are in the lake and
you know you agreed to take them just as
they rum"
The Judge was fairly "sold," and it is
said johnson kept the premises some time,
rent free, simply agreeing that he would not
slet on."'

OF principles by the convention was deemed neces-

1t may be well for me to say, however, that the
cardinal principle with myself in reference to the
powers Of the Federal Government is that they must
be exercised in all its departments within the strict
limitations of the written charter That these powers
find their origin and limit in the Constitution Of the
United States that without the Constitution there is
no Union, and that Constitutional Government may

powers as by their dissolution as we'll by the un-
limited federation of the States as by their total sepa

SINGULAR PHgNoaENoN.-A singular phenomenon
Of the sulphur water found about Carlisle, Pa was
discovered recently by Professor William Corperneus
Wilson, Of Dickinson College, and one thought to be
hardly credible until shown by direct experiment
The Professor having procured some sulphur water
very highly impregnated, subjected it to an immense
pressure in the Brass Magdenbnrg hemispheres until
two,thirds Of the water contained Ind exuded from
between the pores Of the metal and where the cups
are Joined together. When the cups were unserewed
the remainder Of the water had an exceedingly strong
odor of sulphur, reminding foreibly Of Miltons
Tarturus, and on the Professor applying match the
lame instantaneously communicated to the water
aud burnt, something like ether, for about four
minutes, emitting a very salphurous odor while
burning.
