The Enquirer has been turning its atten-
for the Union, and it discovers an exact
parallel to the position of the Republican
Party in that of the young man who inquired
of Christ what he should do to inherit
eternal life. The illustration is so apt, aud
shows so forcibly the criminality of the Re-
publican Party who, having observed all their
constitutional obligations, refuse to sacrifice
their party and the Constitution too, to save
the Union, that we quote it, and exhort the
Enquirer to continue its Scriptural re.

"They make great professions of a desire to
save the Union, and avow that they have
lived up 10 all their constitutional obliga-
tions; but the Chicago Platform is their
stumbling block. They are like the young
man who knelt before Jesus, and asked what
be should do to inherit eternal life2
"Jesus answered him: Thou knowest the
commandments The young man told him,
all those he bad observed from his youth.
Jesus then said: One thing thou lackest go
thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give
to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in
Heaven We are told when the young man
heard that, he was sad and went away
grieved, for he bad many possessions So
with the Republican leaders. They ask what
they shall do TO save the Union? The voice
of their country answers: 'You know your
constitutional obligations They reply
these have we observed 1t then says:
'One more thing DO, sacrifice your party
platform on the altar Of your country, aud
the Union will he saved That is too hard
for them, aud they turn their backs upon
The advice, for iu The Chicago Platform, they
think, rests all their political wealth."

Chloride of Nitrogen as an Implement Of
BRttle-War 10 In Terminated.

Chloride of nitrogen will, 1t is said, soon
be utilized as an implement of war. It's en-
ployment would be likely we should con-
lecture, to put an end to all war. Mr.. Isham
BsgGs, of England, in announcing his dis
covery, makes mention of a system of balloon
ing advocated by Mr.. james. Mr. Baggs
proposes TO carry up his composition in
balloons, and drop it from the air in the
midst Of armies and fortresses.
"The very mention of this compound" he
goes on to say, ''as a proposed element in
modern warfare, may possibly provoke a
smile among chemists, who know that the
most accomplished among their number
would scarcely dare to experiment with it in
quantities larger than a grain Of mustard
seed, and, even then, only at ~ respectful
distance, and under guard at the moment of
its detonation. And yet not one of the
chemists will be bold enough to deny that,
with two or three chemically clean carboys
| Of this terrible compound present in city
or fortress, however strong, the slightest
cutting Of phosphorus, OF a single drop OF
| olive oil, coming in contact with Il, would, in
one instant, decide the fate of the place and
its inhabitants" Mr. Baggs then proceeded
| TO affirm that he "can manufacture this
deadly material with perfect safety, and in
any required quantity, and that it may be
safely conveyed to its destination by James'l

The London Parks In Winter-The SkatInI
Mania in the British Babylon.


1t appears by the London Star of the 9th
that the skating mania is strong in that city.
The Star says:
Itwould be be almost impossible to give a
perfect description of the scene presented in
Hyde Park last night, but when it is stated
that upward of 100000 persons were esti.
mated TO be on and around the Serpentine,
some idea may be formed of the scene which
was presented. The drive along the Serpen-
tine was for two hours completely blocked
with carriages of the nobility and gentry,
and along the banks masses of people were
copgreg8ted, while, to obtain a view of the
extraordinary and brilliant sight upon the
frozen surface, several hundreds of persons
mounted the lofty trees.
From the bridge down to the extreme end
of the river was one continuous blaze of
light, there being upward of 1000 skaters
and sliders, nearly all of whom carried
lighted torches, and carried on their ovolu-
tions by their light The center, as well as
near the banks of the river, was lined by
several hundred tents, consisting of skating
booths, refresbment pavilions, &c.
Near the east end was erected a very large
tent for the supply of wine, porter and re-
freshments of all descriptions, while the
venders of hot coffee, ginger beer, &C.,
drove most'profitable trade, and the whole
SCtHo WIS Suo JudJ HdS u6N6E DtiOlO Dctu
witnessed on the frozen water Of the Ser
pentine. About seven o'clock several dls-
plays of fireworks took place upon the ice,
and blue, green and red fires were ignited,
the whole shedding over the scene a most
brilliant and extraordinary effect
At about eight o'clock there was large
number of persons entered the park, mostly
Fl ON Apsley House-gate. and proceeded to
the Serpentine. The whole length of Picca-
dilly from this gate was crowded with per-
sons vending their way to the park, aud, in
fact the thoroughfare on one side was almost
impossible, while carriages of all descrip-
tions tbronged the road. way. Skating
quadriles and other dauces were gone
through on the frozen surface, aud several
matches of an exciting character also tock
place.
Shortly after nine o'clock the general as
peet ofthe park was truly wonderful, large
number Of the tents being lighted up with
variegated oil lamps and festoons of Chinese
lanterns, and further displays of pyrotech-
MICS took place. A large number of the
skaters and slideTs about this time paid
visit to the different refreshmeut booths,
and fires were lighted around which m my
discussed r6fFeshments of all kinds. The
view obtained from the bridge resemhed, IN
some parts, the biyouacing of a large army
The festivities were carried on with the ut
most vigor for several hours, but at ten
o'clock large number Of persons retired.
Several thousands, however, remained upon
the ice until n very late hour.

An Old Maid in n Painful POsiriOn-Per-
picking Qnnndary in Church

picking Qnnndary in Church.
The London Court Journal has the follow
ing: t
An unmarried lady, perfect specimen of
an old maid, being on visit to a friend who
lived in a large manufacturing town, went
on Sunday TO church alone, and was shown
into large square pew, in which halEa-
dozen females were seated. The prayers
were drawing to conclusion, when the
officiating clergyman deviated from the
afternoon service into another, with which
she was upacquainted. This was a novelty
10 Miss P, who was in the habit of at
tending public worship at fashionable
chapel in London. When this interpolated
as a matter of course, followed their exam
pie, and, on doing so, was surprised TO see
all the congregation except themselves either
sitting or kneeling. Her companions pres
emily knelt down.
She again followed their lead and, by pay
ing great attention to the succeeding prayer,
she discovered that it was a thanksgiving
for safe deliverance from the great pain aud
peril of childbirth. The usual afternoon
service being over, she rose from her knees
with crimsoned cheek, and in an agitated
state of mind, which was not lessened by
the clerk coming into the pew, and asking
her, "Have you child TO be christened,
Ma'am?" Pushing him aside, she rushed
out of the churchipg. pew, into which she
had inadvertently been put, and made the
best Of ber way out of the church. On en-
teriDg her friends drawing-room she looked
so excited and alarmed, that Mrs. NJ. ex-

hysterically sobbed the old maid, "Pve been

OuR City Council is not equal to tho

OuR City Council is not equal to the
emergency. We Are panied to say it. Mr..
whitcom last night offered resolution to
instruct the Mayor TO call an election next
Monday, to take the sense of the people of
Cincinnati on amending that wonderful
document the Constitution of the United
States, whose divine wisdom seems to con-
sist in its great need of patching. The ques-
tion was to be on inserting the Crittenden
sedstive. Why should not the city of Gin
cinnsti amend the Constitution of the United
States and if its amendment was disre-
garded, secede from the Union and the State
and resume its Independent sovereignty
Mr.. EggIeston, irrepressible, moved to sub
nit also the question of enforcing the pres.
ent Constitution. This was nothing less
than coercion. Yet it was also the platform
of the party which devoted itself exclusively
to the business of saving the Union at the
last election. AS the never of the resolu-
tion was one Of that sort, this made it awk-
ward. To refuse this amendment was to re-
pudiate the great Union campanalogian
platform of "the Constitution and the En-
forcement of the Laws" And to allow that
question to 60 before the people would very
likely commit the great people of Cincinnati
to coercion, which is horrible to think of.
So, although there were but twelve Re-
publicans present and the Democrats and
representatives of our extended national
bird numbered sixteen it was found more
convenient to extend in speeches than to
vote; consequently the session and the
Council was exhausted without coming to a
vote. Several members also manifested an
unusual solcitude for the health of their
families and were excused.
So the meeting passed, and the Union is
not saved; therefore we say the Council is
not equal to the emergency; and we propose
that they resign and refer their merits again
TO the people.

The introduction of bill into the Legis-
lature 10 punish treason, seems to excite un-
easy sensations in some quarters, probably
in the region of the throat. The bill only
defines treason in the language of the Com
stitution of the United States, and provides
penalty. If this troubles gentlemen, they
had better mend their ways before they are
called to take a retrospective view of them
