THE DRUEKARD's CURE.


The homepsthists say like cures
like It may be SO occasionally. At
any rate, doctors cure Drunkenness iu
the military hospitals of Prussia by
means of brandy.
Karl Flsder was Rheinaand SUBJ
ject ofbis majesty of Prussia; and Karl,
like many others 1 could mention in
Rheinland, as well as out of it, got drunk
very often. He drank of the best when
he could get it, and when he could mt,
he drank whatever be could get. Karl
FIader wasn't very particular about his
drinking, if only there was alcohol in
what he drank, aud he could get drunk
upon it. Water was his aversion, ex
cept when used in his wateripg-pot; for
Karl was market-gardener. Il doL'
know what water is good for Karl would
often exclaim, except for my cabbages
He was destined to know better one day
Karl was an industrious man when he
wasn't drunk, which was far ofteuer than
he was industrious; aud SO, you see
there couldn't be much said in favor of
his industry. upon the whole. Karl Fla
der was naturally good.hearted fellow.
EveD-drunkenness had not been able to
make him quito dead to shame. He
resolved once to do without strong
drinks. He kept his resolve; but he
was i'll. He resolved second time; and
again kept it; but he hadn't any money.
So you see the way Karl Flader kept
his two resolves wasn't very meritorious
on the whole.

Karl Flader, to whom the words

suggestive, began to feel as if he wanted
some. So fumbling in bis pockets, one
after the otner, and being little rich
that day, he drew out a thaler, and pat

CHANGE OF coNsTITUT1oNs-A
CASE DIRECTLY TO THE POINT.

We have before named four States that
initiated measures for a change of con
stitution in direct disregard of the mode
providing for change in the instrumen,
itself. We now give another instance
where the legislature of State MARY
land) has submitted to the people pro
position to change its constitution in the
face of prohibition of any change il
the instrument itself before 1862. We
find this fact stated in. the speech of Mr.
Kennedy, of Maryland, recently deliv-
cred in the United States Senate. Mr.,
Kennedy concluded his able speech as
follows.-Ne,cark Advocate
Gone other point of view I will al.
lude to before I conclude, and that is
the inalienable right of the people of a
State, in the exercise of popular soyer-
eighty, in conformity to law, to amend
their constitution in their own way and
for their own purposes. The legislature
of my own State of Maryland has, with
in the three last days, passed bill on
precisely that ground, all parties con-
curing in it. Americans and Democrats
have just passed bill to take the sense
of the people on amending the const;su-
tion of Maryland, solsicb moso has IN IL a
clause prohibiting the change or amend.
naent Of that constitution untH 1862
1t has been done in accordance with the
forms of law. It is to be submitted to
the people. If there be any question of
difference as regards this particular con-
stitution of Kansas, how can you SO
readily, in what manner can you SO Boon
and SO easily, remedy the evil as by ad-
mitting the State? If there be major
ity of ten thousand against it, that ma.
jority can control it. Take 1t away
from here and let us get to the real
business of the country. Let us take
away the existing subject of dispute and
quarrel, for which this Congress has

March the prospect for an abundant crop

the danger of the winter, it is generally
conceded that it will do well until about

are received from the wheat regions Of
the South.
AceprdiDg to the same authority, the
prices of wheat and corn must continue
Co rule low the present year, as the IN
formation received for the last three or
four weeks, from Ohio and adjoining
States, leaves no doubt whatever that the
stocks of wheat and corn in the hands Of
farmers are very large. The prices cur-
reht for wheat last October were so fsr
below the estimate set upon II by its
owners, that they refused TO sell, prefer
ring to hold it over for better prices;
but in this it Is now pretty certain they
will be sadly Disappointed. The wheat

HIGHLY IMPoRTANT- Since the death
of Col. Benton it has been discovered
that Mrs. Fremont's name is not Jessie
but, simply and unpoetically, Ann
Some of the black republican papers
however, have fallen out about the mat
ter, some con tending for Jessie, and 9th
ers for AnB. They have got each Other
by the ears, and it is likely to be the
cause of as great feud in their ranks
as the old question whether John G.
Fremont really was John G. Fremont ol
not, and whether he said his prayers il
an Episcopal or Catholic church. II j.
fortunate that this question did not como
up during the Presidential campaign,
for, combined with the other, it would
certainly have rent the black Republi
can party in twain. Besides it would
have severely damaged the Black Re,
publican war-cry "Give'em Jessie, ,
would have sounded horribly if the lit.
eral rendering, "Give'em Ann" had
been substituted therefor.

CURE FOR THE BITE OF MAD Doe
A writer in the National Intellagencer,
says that spirits of harishorn are a cer-
tain remedy for the bite of a mad dog.
The wound, he adds, should be con-
stantly bathed with it, and three or four
dcses, diluted, taken inwardly during
the day. The hartshorn decomposes,
chemically, the virus insinuated into
the wound, and Immediately alters and
destroys it's deleteriousness. The writer
who resided in Brazil for some time,
first tried it for the bite OF scorpion,
and found that it removed pain and in
famation almost instantly. Subsequent
ly, he tried it for the bite of rattle.
snake, with similar success. At the
suggestion of the writer, an old friend
and physician tried it in cases of hydro
phobia, and always with success.

the same as other property is now taxa
Bile in this State," passed March 2l,
1851, is. not in conflict with the 10th
section of article l, of the Constitution
of the United States.
2. That the act of March z, ls42,

ment or repeal in the discretion of the
Legislature, being in force at the time
of the passage of the act of Feb. ulry "a,

the State Bank of Ohio, and other bank

the last named act, indicates the UNDER
standing of the Legislature, enacting
the law, that section go of the act was,
like other laws, subject to amendment
8. That section 60 of said act of Feb
"a, I645, is not contract within the
meaning of the Constitution of the u.

4. That the Judicial construction CIV

by the Supreme Court of the U. States,
being a departure by that Court from

Judicial construction give1s those stat

5. That the judicial construction here

Swan and Scott, j., dissenting, hold
ing that prior to the enactment of sec
tion 60. the Supreme Court of Ohio had
determined that like provision in a

ry upon the Legislature, and could not
be violated, aud that section go was
enacted with view to. and intended to
take effect under such previous interpre.
tation.

CALIFORNIA FOR LEcoMPToN.-The
Legislature of California, by decided
vote, has requested the representatives
and instructed the senators in Congress
from that State to vote for the immedi-
ate admission of Kansas under the Le-
compton constitution, as recommended
by the President in his special message.
This news will be gratifying to the
friends of the administration throughout
the Atlantic States; and viii, we trust,

The Clevelani Editor very properly

that part of Ohio, aud in cegnate New

When once people diverge. or are
encouraged from the true paths Of con.
servatism; there is no foretelling where
it will end--or, in other words, when .
man catches up one ism. he is almost
sure to catch another. The New Eng

to such a high pressure upon the subject
of slavery, aud kindred topics, that while
