GETTING OUT OF 4 DILEMMA.

Two fashionable young ladies FROM
New York, with profusion of skirt,
and an immensity Of hoops, desired to
enjoy birds eye view Of Chicago,
and were for that purpose conducted
by some gallant young gentlemen to
the roof of high building. When
they, reached the ladder leading to the
small scuttle hole, 1t became desirable,
of course for the gentlemen to ascend
first. This they did; and taking the
hands Of the young ladies' as they made
their appearance through the scuttle,
handed, or rather dragged them upon
the root. As they rose through the
small opening, their hoops, from the
waist down, became more and more
compressed, requiring no little effort to
pull them through; but suddenly she
feat was accomplished, and the hoops
bursting forth from the scuttle hole,
once more expanded into their original
rotundity. After enjoying the scene
for some time, the party started for the
downward voyage, but then came the
rub. While it had been comparative
~ easy for the ladies to squeeze thro'
the scuttle hole commencing from the
waist and rising upwards, it was diff
terent task when the bottom Of the
hoops had to be compressed into the
cer1c space rur tnc descent. W hen
one side was squeezed in, the other side
still remained out. When the front
was gathered together and pushed thro'
the hole, the back was to be seen stick
ing up at an awkward elevation. No
fitting together of the joints of a stove
pipe ever caused so much labor and
vexation as did this attempt to COM
press those large hoops into that little
opening. After Intellectual efforts bu.
one way to get out Of the dilemma APP
peared. The, gentlemen were requr.
cd to descend while some mysterious
operation was performed, and were par
tlcularlv cautioned not to come up
again until called. When the signal
was given, and they once more mount
ed on the room, their fair companions
were discovered standing "in all the
sllmness Of uncrinolincd grace" while
near by lay two huge, mysterious look.

ews. The descent was then easily nc
, colnplished, a rush was made TOR their

patched on savage expedition to the
roof to bring ia the remaining portion
of the wreck.

AQl-EsTION OF FACT.

At the joint discussion between Messrs.
Fuller and Rawlings, at Waukegan on
Tuesday evening, (where, by the way,
the latter was so badly worsted ths. his
party friends expressed much pity for
him), d question Of fact was raised as to
whether Mr.. Douglas used the following
language in the debate on the admission
of Iowa into the Union, in the year
lS45:
1.-The father may bind his son during
his minority, but the moment he attaius
his majority his fetters are severed, aod
he is free to regulate his own conduct -
SO WITH THE TERRITORIES
THEY ARE SUBJECT TO THEJUR
1SDlCTION AND CONTROLOFCON
GRESS DURING THEIR INFANCY
THEIR MINORITY but when they
attain their majority AND OBTAIN
ADMISSION INTO THE UNION,
they are free from all restraints aud re
strictious, except such a. the Constitu
tion of the United States ha. imposed
upon each aud all Of .he States
Mr.. Fuller asserted that Mr.. Douglas
held such language on the occasion re
fcrred to, reading it from copy Of the
"Political Record of Stephen A. Doug
las on the Slavery Question" The Dem
ocrats present denied it on the authority
of the Chicago Times and Herald.
We refer to the matter for the purpose

Il TRTTW WE'LL ILLUSTRATED.

We have not seen paragraph in
many day more replete with truth
than the following, which We find in
the New York Century,
'Nothing is more suspicious than
noise, wh> ther in politics, religion, law,
science, art, trade, invention, or what
ever else. The preacher who puts all
his force in loud words, touches few
hearts with that gentle grace of GoIs
love that trul y mends the life; the law
yer, who thrashes the air with his arms
and tlays the opposite counsel on the
hot grldiron of his indignation, is not
the man who convinces the court and
jury; the pedant who deals everIasting-
ly III technics, quotes Latin to other
pedants and advertIses his name in all
the papers, is no authority in science
or medicine; the painter, who fills his
canvas with Haunting colors, rearing
horses and cNtravagant gestures, is an
artist on y IL his own conceit; the mer-
chant who piles empty boxes before
his shop, and keeps the hammer eter-
nally pounding, has not the best credit
at bank; and the genious who has his
brain full of patent rights, is common
ly indebted to the charity of his friends
for the connection between his soul and
his body. SO with the noisy politician;
all his shouting followers and his bla-
zing speeches, and his desperate wire
pullings, do not make the statesman.-
When such man succeeds, it must be
by the accident of evil fortune-when
he fails he fails forever, and none hate
and kick him so hard as his former de-
voted auherents"

CURIOUS RESTORATION OF SIGHT BY
Mus1C.-The Presbyterian relates a
remarkable story of little boy, about
thirteen years of age, living in Tennes-
see:
"One day during the past winter he
failed to rise in the morning as early
as usual. At length his father went
into the room where he lay, and asked
him why he did not get u p. He said
it seemed dark, and he was waiting for
daylight. His father retired, but the
boy did not make his appearance for
some time. MY son, why don't you
get up?" He replied, ''Fa'her. is i:
daylight" ?" Yes, long ago "'fhen,
father the little fellow said. IL am
blind And So it was. His sight was
gone. HIS father took him to Nash
Vile to get the benefit OF the medical
profession there, but none of the ply
sicians could do anything for him, and
happily made no experiments on his
eyes. Some ladies in family of his
fathers acquaintance sought to cheer
him i'll his atll'ction, and one night
proposed to take him to the opera, that
he might hear the music and the sing
ing. He Went and was delighted. In
the course Of the performance, all at
once he leaped up, and screamed with
ecstacy, "Oh father! can see! I can
see Y His sight had instantly returned.
And since then he has retained it in
full vigor, except that under excitement

ANOTHER DOMESTIC TRAeEpY-A Mqn
Stabbed to the Heart Iy his Brother-in-hw-
Arrest Of the Homicide.-The homicidal
epidemic that has been raging for some
months past in our sister citV, Cincinnati,
has, we are compelled to announce, made its
appearance in our midst in its most virulent
form. Last evening, about eight o'clock,
Michael Weitzel, who keeps a coffee-house
on the bank of the Licking River, near
Swift's rolling-mill, was stabbed to the heart
by his brother-in-law, under the following
circumstances:
The homicide, whose name is George =,
h"s hosn Nhsent for some time from the CITY
and when he returned, few days AGO. was
informed by Weitzel that his wife while he
was away, had been upon terms of the most
intimate relationship with certain individ-
ual whose name we could not learn. Burn
ing with rage, George sought the alleged
destroyer of his homer, and accused him of
an intimacy with his wife, which he stoutly
denied, whereupon the parties visited Welt
eel to have the matter investigated.
In the presence of the man he had SLAM
dered, Weitzel denied the statement he had
made and called his brOther-in-law a liar. at
the same time striking him with his fist
which he repeated, it is said, several times
George endeavOred TO avoid the blows of his
antagonist until blinded by passion, he drew
a KNIFE and drove it to the hilt in his heart
The wound is in the left breast and was
almost instantly fatal; for the unfortunate
man fell to the foor which was instantly
covered with blood, and expired at the feet
of the homicide, who, horror-struck at his
own act, was unable to fly and was immedi-
a:ely taken into custody.
The deceased was about thirty-two years
OF age, and leaves a wife and two children.
The affair caused the intensest excitement in
the neighborhood, and the house was
thronged with crowd eager for the details
of the homicide and anxious to gaze upon
the gore-stained body of the victim of this
most melancholy domestic tragedy.
SUICIDE OF A GRRMAN.-A German named
Valentine Schmidt who keeps a beer-saloon
on Isabella-street, between jefferson and
Bellevue, committed suicide day before yes
terday by drowning himself in the Licking
River. His body was recovered yesterday,
and an inquest held, at which it was ascer-
tanned that he had for some time been suf-
fering with deiirium tremens, and that he was
evidently insane when he left home. He
was thirty-eight years old, and leaves wife
and six children,

minions, suddenly became conscious that
the existence Of the Pope's foreign legions--
feature which has existed in most Euro
pean countries, and which is older than the
Oldest European Government-wAs danger
Gus to bis kingdom, and that the danger
was so imminent that it allowed no time for
negotiation; but the order to his troops to
march was little in advance of the demand
on the Pope to disband his troops. He at
once almost annihilated the Papal army, and
it is said that the Pope is preparing to aban-
don Rome and for the second time to 20
into exile; an event which we suppose de-
pends on the degree of confidence which he
places in the sincerity of the French EN-
peror. He will probably take such measures
as he thinks necessary, to preserve his free
dom from restraint, in order to maintain
the independence of his Ecclesiastical Gov
ernment, if his temporal dominions are lost.
But the foreign legions on which Rome
depends are French; and the King of Sar-
dinia, if sincere in his pretense for invading
the Roman States, should attack these. But
he will not. He is merely after the bird, for
which Garibaldi has been shaking the bush.
Just as these momentous events were oc-
curing, which might revise the map of
Europe, and which ostensibly threatened the
French army IN Rome Louis Napoleon felt
o sudden and irresistible longing to visit his
African dominions, a desire which he graf
ificd, accompanied by the Empress, with
great pomp and circumstance. Calm and
imperturbable, uniting great abilities, far
reaching sagacity the most thorough prep
aration, and promptness and skill in action,
with the most consummate hypocrisy, he
pulls the wires which manage the springs ofall
these movements. Whenever he says stop
to Garibaldi, it will be followed by speedy
extinguisher. If he chooses to maintain the
integrity of the Papal Territory, his word
will be sufficient to do it. But it will be
more in accordance with his character to
come into the play in the last scene, in the
part ofthe deliverer of the Pope in his great
extremity, and as ostensible mediator to ne
gotiate for his security in diminished tenn
poral power.
