their action in the Legislature or any
where else. We have now the proof
under their own hands that they Gre leg

DrcLEYsIoN OF SPEAKER ORR.-The
Hon. james L. Orr, the Speaker of the
House of Representatives, has written a
letter to his constituents, declining a re-
election to Congress. The long neglect
of his private affairs, he says, imperious-
ly demands his presence at home. We
quote the following paragraph:
" In discharging the arduous duties
devolved on me | have been actuated by
an earnest purpose to maintain your
rights, guard your honor, and preserve
this government by restraining it strictly
within its constitutional sphere. l have
not believed that the highest test of pa
triotism was found in vehemence of sem
timent or violence of counsel, and have
consequently co-operated cordially with
national men from all sections in carry
ing out such a policy as would promote
your interests and the interests of this
great country.

CAUCUS RESOLUTIONS democra-
tic caucus of the Senators and members
of the House of Delegates of tbs State,
held at Annapolis on the LIST instant, the
following preamble and resolutions, offer
ed by Mr.. CoNTEE, of Prince Georges
county, were unanimously adopted
Whereas the public mind is disturbed
and the harmony of the people of this
nation endangered by the condition of
things in Kansas; therefore,
BE it reSoIred, That the early admis-
sion of Kansas into this Union, as an in
dependent and sovereign State, is a result
greatly to be desired, as calculated to re-
store peace and harmony to the people of
this country generally, and especially
quiet, prosperity, and good feeling to
those of Kansas.
ReSolved, That the constitution formed
by the convention at Lecompton was a
regular and legal exercise of power by
the people of Kansas, and as such is va
lid and binding, and should be so recog-
missed by Congress.
Resolced, That we cordially approve
of the course of our two Senator's, and
of those of our members in Congress
who favored the admission of Kansas
into the Union under the Lecompton con-
stitution.
Res0lred, That inasmuch as the defects
and errors (if any EXIST which may be
found in said constitution can be rene
died by the people of Kansas in their
sovereign capacity, at any time, by q
State convention, it would therefore be
not only irregular and illegal, but unwise
and prejudicial to the best interests Of
the whole country, for Congress to reject
the Lecompton constitution on account
of any such supposed defects and errors
Rcsolued, That copy of these resolu-
lutlons be transmitted by the chairman
to our several representatives in both
branches of Congress.

Of this valuable fertilizer. They pub

practical farmers of Maryland who have
used it, reeeived1within the last month

periority over that article. 1t is espc.
cially recommended for corn and all
other summer crops. The price of the
De Burg is $45 per ton, and considering
the present high prices Of Peruvian

give it trial as a saving of ten or fifteen
dollars per ton is no small item to those
who Guanc largely.

RuRSTS OF EL0OLENCE.

One Of our exchange papers gathered up the
following ''bursts of eloquence," which ii says
were delivered before a court Of justice II Penn
sylvania:
"Your honor sits high upon the adorable seat
of Justice, like the Aslatc rock of Gibraltar;
while the eternal streams of justice, like the
cadaverous clouds OF the valley, flow meander-
ing a: your feet"
This reminds US of the commencement OF
speech of lawyer in New jersey our
honors do not sit there like marble statues, TO be
waited about by every idle breeze"
Another western orator commenced his ha-
rangue with-"The important crisis which
were about TO have arriven, have arroven."
Another "The Court will please TO observe
that the gentleman from the East has given
them very learned speech. He has roamed
with old Romulus; socked with old Socrates; (;
ripped with Euripldes, and canted with old
Cantharides- but what, your honor, what does
he know about the laws of Wisconsin,"
A young lawyer in one Of our own courts
commenced his defence as follows: May 1t
please your honor, the deluge has passed over
the earth, the Ark has rested upon the noun
tain, and The rainbow of justice shines as beau
tifully upon my coored client as it does upon
any in the court, including the jury"

TIE MASQUE OF THE RED DEATH.

The "Rpd Death" had long devastated the
country. No peslilence had ever been so fatal,
or so hideous. Blood was its AVIATOR and its
seal-the horror Of blood. There were sharp
pains. and sudden dizziness, and then proiuse
bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. The
scarlet STAINS upon the body, and especially upon
the face Of the victim, were the pest ban which
shut him out from the sympathy Of his fellow
men. And the whole seizure, progress and
termination Of the disease were the incidents OF
hall an hour.
But the Prince Pfospero was happy and
daunless and sagacious. When his dominionS
Were half depopuated, he summoned to his
presence a thousand hale and li5ht-hparled
friends from among the knights and DANES of
his court, ard with these retired TO the deep
geclusion Of one Of his CastelIated abbeys. This
was an extensive and magnificent structure, the
creation of the Princes own eccentric vet au-
gust taste. A strong and lofty wall grdled it
in The wall had gates OF iron. The couTtier$,
having entered, brought furnaces and massive
hammers and welded the bolts. They resolved
10 leave means neither of ingress or egress 10

Il was voluptuous scene, that masquerade
But first let me tell OF the rooms in which II was
held. There were seven-an imperial suite.
In many palaces, however, such suites form a
long and straight vista, slide back nearly to the
walls on either side, so that the view of the
whole extent is scarcely impeded. Here the
case was very different; as might have been ex-
pected from the Dukes love of the bizare-
The apartments were so irregularly disposed

each wall, narrow Gothic window looked out
upon closed corridor which pursued the wnd-

NOVEL COURTSHIP.

lhree monihS since, young Parislan was
travelling per railroad, in Germany, from Augs-
/ burg to Berlin. The cars, unlike those here,
are divided into compartments, like the inside
OF coach, the passengers sitting facing each
other. In the compartments he selected were
four other persons, two mammas and two
daughters. The two mothers were face 10 face
in one corner, the young man took the other,
and found himself face to face with the young
ladies'. He soon after fell into brown study,
dnrGg which the conductor repeatedly deman-
ded his ticket without success, and the Young
ladies were laughing at his bewldered air.
Suddenly reSoTting to a ruSe, to avoIG ridIcule,
be pretended not to understand German, and
transacted his business with the. conductor by
signs. A moment after the young ladies COM
menced conversation.
| ''This young man is very handsome" said
one
"Hist, Brrlha," said the other, with sort of
alright.
..Why, he DOES not understand a word Of
German. We can talk freely. How do you
fnd him?''
'Only ordinary"
''You are difficult. He has a charming fig
ure and distngue arr
'He is too pale, and besides you know do
not love dark"
''And you know prefer dark TO blonde
We have nothing but blonde in Germany. Ii
is monotonous and commonplace"
''You forget that you are blonde"
Ooh, for woman, il is different. He has
pretty moustaches."
'Bertha, what if your mother should hear
You -
"She is busy with her talk; besides, it is no
hurt to speak Of mou>taches."
q prefer the blonde moustaches Of Freder-
ick.'
Il understand that Frederick is engaged to
you, but /, who am without lover, am free TO
exercise my opinion, and 10 say that this young
man has beautiful eyes"
|'They have no expression"
''You do not know. / am sure he has spirit;
it is a pity he does not speak German; he would
chat with u.s."
s.Woud you marry a Frenchman %
"Why not, if he looks like this one, and were
spirited, wel-born aud alniable But l cannot
keep from laughing. See he doesn't mistrus
what we are saying"
The young man was endowed with great
self control. He looked carefully at Bertha,
and bis resolution was taken. At new sta
ton the conductor came again for tie tickets.
Our Young man, with extra Celebrations, and
in eXcellen: German, said:
ooh, you want my ticket. Very well, let
me see--I believe it is in my portmonnale. Oh,
yes, here it is"
The effect was startling. Bertha nearly
tainted away, but soon recovered under the Po-
lite apologies of the young Frencbman. They
were pleased with each other, and in a few
weeks Bertha ratified her good opinion of the
young man, and her willingness to marry
Frenchman.
They live al Hamburg.
