Rather Frenchy.

A Paris paper tells the following very Frenchy
story Of a "wortby gentleman" who, having un.
fortunately married termagant, resolved to
become widower in way not to expose him
self to the penalties of the law. Without ex
pressing any opinion as to the morale of the hus
bands conduct, we copy the anecdote, trusting
his example will not find imitators in this re.
gion: -r
He owned beautiful country seat, situated
on the bank of delightful river, to which his
lady was much attached, and which che visited
regularly every Sunday morning. She had for
this purpose charming little mule, with splen-
did trappngs, and Of which great care was
taken. .. .-.... .
For three days previous 10 the lady's accus.
toned visit, the husband had deprived the ami.
NAL of all drink, so that it was almost famish-
ed. Sunday morning came; the lady set out
on her mule, accompanied by her husband, who
was anxious to see the sport. The poor beast
sought water on all sides, and had no sooner
discovered the river, than with the rapidity OF
lightning he started of, and stopped not till he
had plunged himself head and ears into the
river. The bank was steep and the stream both
rapid and deep at this place, and lady and mule
were soon buried beneath the waves. The
husband regretted the loss-of the mule, but
reasoned like q philosopher, that to accomplish
ones purpose sacrfces must be made"

A Short Story by Dickens.
Dickens tells the following story of an Amer
ican sea captain:

Dickens tells the following story of an Amer
ican sea captain:
On bis last voyage home, the captain had on
board a young lady of remarkable personal at
tractons--a phrase use as 'oDe being entirely
new, and one you never met with in the news
papers. This young lady was beloved intensely
by five young gentlemen, and In turn was in
love with them all very ardently, but without
any particular preference for either. Not know
ing how to make up her determination in this
dilemma, sbe consulted my friend the captain.
The captain being of an original turn of mind
says to the young lady: slump overheard, and
marry the one that jumps after you" The
young lady, struck with the idea, and being
naturally fond Of bathing, especially in warm
weather, as it then was, took the advice of the
captain, who had boat ready manned in case
of accident. Accordingly, the next morning,
the FIVE lovers being on deck, and looking very
devotedly at the young lady, she plunged into
the sea, head foremost. Four of the lovers i'm.
mediately plunged in after her. When the lady
and her four lovers were out again, she says to
the captain, "What am to do with them now,
they are so wet2" Says the captain, "Take
the dry one" and the young lady did, and mar.
ried him.

A Chinese Juggler.


The Chinese correspondent of the London
Times writes copiously about things inside oil
Pekin. Among other things is picture Of O
In the streets: "EIe first of all spoke for about
fifteen minutes with oil the volubiity Of fCharles
Matthews, evidently saying something witty,
for the people round laughed heartily. In the
middle Of bis harangue, however, he was seized
with fit of choking, and after an effort Of try
ing to get something out of his throat, drew
forth little slip of bamboo, like Lisbon tooth
pick, then another and another, then he sneezed,
and out they came from his nostrils, then from
his eyes, until he completed the number Of thir-
ty-seven, by making one appear half way out
of each orifce at the same time, and then
threw the lot on the ground for any one to ex-
anime. He next took three glass balls about
an inch in diameter, and placing them sing
ly between his lips, sucked them into
his mouth and swallowed fret q red
one. then blue, and last Of all q white one;
here was little interlude Of toothpcks aud talk
ing; after which he walked gravely round the
ring, stopping four times; each time he gave
himself shake and jump, when the balls
were distinctly heard to jingle inside of him
On completing his round, after several efforts,
he spat upon the ground the balls in the same
order he had swallowed them-the red first and
the white last. He then took two more balls
one of polished steel about the size of hens
egg, and another of glass the same size. These
first he let fall on the ground to show they were
solid; then, placing them between his lips,
he swallowed them like the smaller ones, but
with more difficulty, the ball swelling the
throat very perceptibly as it went down; here
more tootbpicks and talking, while he prepared
two swords, about an inch wide and twenty
long, very like polished hoop iron, clashed
them together to show that they were real, and
passed both of them down his throat at once,
until they struck the balls with an audible click;
withdrawing these, he placed his hands behind
him, and, after several painful trials, each ball
rose in the throat, and fell from his mouth to
the ground with heavy thump"

No WONDER WHEN WE SLEEP-A shrewd
philosopher says: "We may alude to one fac
ul.y of the brain, which appears GlDays to re-
main dormant during dreams; we allude to the
faculty Of wOndr. The most incongruous i'm
ages, the oldest combination of circumstances,
the strsngest persons present themselves be.
fore us at such times unchallenged. We con-
verse with friends and relations, long since
dead, without feeling the least surprised at
their resurrection. And why is this2. Be-
cause the sense of the fitness af things is alst
,Dantng. How can we wonder, when the stand
ard Of Judgment is absent? And herein we fnd
the extraordinary likeness between dreaming
and certain forms Of insanity. The coordina'
ting physical power, in both cases, is in abey-
ance."

Ii there be such a power in the Legisla-
ture. we are, with all our boosted free insti
tutions. infinitely behind the monarchy Of
England in respect to the protection OF our
rights OF person and rights Of property.
Blackstone, the learned commentator on the
constitution and laws Of England. in vol. ist.
page i02, says, "a third subordinate right of
every Englishman is that Of applying to the
Courts OF justice for the redress Of injuries.
Since the law in England is the supreme ar
bitter Of every mans life. liberty and proper.
ty, courts OF justice mast at all times be
open to the subject, and the law be duly adj
ministered therein. The emphatic words Of
Magma Charta, are these, "n,iM negabimus
au di6eremus rectum vel jusfiiiam, and there.
lore every subject for injury done to him. in
ferris, in boais. vei persona. BY any other sub.
Ject. be he ecclesiastical or temporal, with
out any exception, may take his remedy by
course Of the law and have justice and right
for the injury done to him, freely without
sale, freely without any denial, and speedily
without delay"
! Upon the whole we are satisfied that with
out reference to the Constitution OF the Uni
ted States, or 70 that of the Confederate
States, our State Constitution gives ample
protection to its citizens against all encroach.
ments on the part Of the legislature upon the
rights of property, and the reason why such
prominence has been given to that clause oil
the Constitution Of the United States, which
prohibits laws impalring the obligation Of
contracts, is. that the Courts found there a
provision expressed in direct and positive
l . ..
to put their decision. than il was to refer 10
fundamental principles embraced in the Con.
stltution of the several States, although not
expressed in words so direct and positive

known to all whom il may concern, that the
said Constitution is binding upon the people
of this Commonwealth.
But this Constitution is ratified and adop-

yerted to injury or oppression.
This, we presume, will raise in the Con-
gress the issue for which some OF our ex-
changes have been clamorous--a distinct re-
cognition orrepudiation Of the right of with
drawal at pleasure for we take Il for grant
ed that Virginia can only be member Of
the Confederacy on perfect equality with
each and every other State that she can
not make reservations of power not retained
by all Of them. II is a perplexing question
-one Of complex difficulties and perhaps OF
serious future import--and we do not care
just now to express an opinion upon it. In
deed we regard it as unfortunate that Vir-
ginia has raised this issue at this time. and
its presentation suggests doubts whether a
permanent constitution should have been
formed until the States have settled their
relations with other powers. We doubt not,
however, that il can be so disposed Of as nut
to raise for the present any distrac,ing issue
among a brotherhood Of States whose first
and highest object should be the expulsion
of foreign invader.
