OUTSIDE EXCITEMENT ON THE MASSACHUSETTS
Two.YEARs AMENDMENT--Since the passage OF the
Massachusetts amendments on the 9th inst the Ger
press throughout the country is full of specula
ton as to what is to be done next
The " Siocaicaciern (Cincnnatil proposes to
unite the Germans of all States and that they insist
on the passage of resolutions to the following effect
l. That The acts of the Massachusetts legislature
and electors be condemned as unconstitutional and
2. That Massachusetts delegates be excluded from
the Hatioaa convention If the Massachusetts, dele
gates are not excluded, the Germ and all liberal
men should hold convention to decide any iurtheI

The Democrat insists that in case tie national re,
publican convention refuses to condemn the Massa-
chusets acts, the German republicans must break
off from the republican party entirely.

A BEAUTIFUL SNAKE.-Mr. James G.. Patton,
while strolng through Roslin on Sunday. captured
alive one of the most beautiful specimens OF the King
snake we have ever seen. He was about four feet
long, of glossy blaekness, with white corrugated
streaks on each side, like ribs the entire length OF
his body. The King snake is not poisonous, but is
famous for the apdity OF his speed and also for his
uncompromisng hostility to all other snakes, which
he pursues and attacks with address that rarely
fails to return him the victory. In their lightning
like career at times, more than half their body BENT
like the PROV of ship, is off of the ground and their
accuracy in striking victim is autless as shot
from the best marksman. Petersburg (Va) Express.

from my friend the editor, am able, by an intense
application of attention for q few minutes. to make
out its general drift and meaning. The difficulty in
the way of grasping the entire does not arise
from any obscarty of style but wholly from the
markable nature of the penmanship. And after
gaining the general bearing of the document, am
well that there many recesses and nookS Of
meaning which will not be reached but after repeated
perusas. What appeared at first Il flourish OF the

A QUESTION FOR ALL TO ANSWER.
The master of Delecarlian peasant
was one day displaying to him the vast
ness and grandeur Of his estates.
Farms, houses and forests were point
ed out in succession on every hand, as
the property of the rich proprietor, who
summed up finally by saying: "In
short, all that you see in every direc-
ton belongs to me.' The poor man
looked thoughtfully for moment, then
raising his hand toward Heaven with
great solemnity he inquired: "And is
Mat also thine?"
And is not this a question which
may well be addressed to every one
who is rejoicing in the multitude Of his
riches or when he looks around and
beholds the sum of the mercies that
God has layished upon him? And, if
thus Of the rich, may it not be asked
of oil, whether rich or poor? And
may we not in all sincerity ask you,
gentle reader, to weigh we'll the words
Is Eeavep also thine?
HARD SoAP.-A patent has been
granted in England for an improve
men, in the manufacture of soap, by
sulphate Of lime to the usual ingredi-
ents. The proportion necessary varies
according to the desired quality Of the
soap. Thus, while IL ounces Of dry
sulphate is sufficient for one ton Of the
best soap, in common or highly-liquor-
ed soap 6 or 8 lbs. may be used with
advantage. Soap made with the add
ton Of sulphate Of lime is more dura-
BILE, becomes harder, keeps dryer, and
is less liable to shrink while in water
than that made in the usual manner.

told Of his wondrous powers But the

better to intercede for him. so that he
might be allowed to help them out of
their troubles and when once he had
made them happy by his noble deeds,
they no longer despised him or drove
him from them with sneers, but loved
him as their nearest friend. Yet the
only return this good dwarf sought for
all his services was, that when they
heard of any one who wanted helping

his favor, and recommend them to-

young gentleman who committed sui
eide on the thirty-third day of last

house coffee. He was desperately in
love with the object Of his affections,
and liked her pretty we'll. One day,
however, she winked at another man,
and drove her lover to the pitch Of
insanity necessary to the preparation
of puns and suicide, both of which he
most emphatically did. .u
