by>In the New Jersey Senate bill
has been introdced limiting the total cost
of transportation for coal and lime to two
cents per gross ton per mile when the dis
tance exceeds fifty miles. Heavy penal
ties, including forfeiture of charter, are i'm
posed for each and every violation of the
law. The New York Herald says if the
New York and Pennsylvania Legislatures
will but follow this example, the plans of
the coalmonopolists and railway companies
which seek to realize exorbitant profits out
of the hard earned wages of the poor will
be efectually defeated.

"Miscegenation." !"

& pamphlet has lately been published
advocating what it calls "Miscegenation, 7"
which is interpreted to mean mingling
of the white and black races, or amalga-
nation. We know not who is the auth
or, but we venture the guess that he is a
jealous Copperhead, and that the pam
Ihlet is issued as campaign document
OF course, he pretends to be u Republi-
can, or an Abolitionist, or an anti slave
very man Of some kind. And Of course
he pretcnds to think that the proclama-
tions of President Lincoln and the action
of the Republican party tend TO promote
''miscegeDatIon But the allegation is
perfectly nonsensical. Keep the blacks
in slavery, and they will not mingle with
the whites, but set them free, and they
will, says his argument. What says the
facts? We have had in our country for
n good many years both free blacks and
slaves. Which have mingled most with
white blood? 1t is notorious that the
chief mingle of the races has taken place
on the Southern plantations, between
master and Slave 1t is rarely indeed
that any such thing takes place in the
free States, but in the Slave States it is of
daily occurrence. That is where the
nulattoes come from.

Who will be the Thirteenth 2

The Paris correspondent of the Chica-
go Times says there is in that city at this
time very lovely and very charming
young lady, who is destined by an extra
ordinary fate to go through the world
without getting married. She is dark
beauty, with magnificent eyes, a glowing
cheek, lively expression, graceful fig
ure-in fact, altogether endowed with ev-
cry attraction, even to that of having in
her own right 100000, and being an on
ly daughter, with the prospect of inherit
ing millions. This fair lady is now about
twenty-six years old, and has been en-
gagged to be married twelve times. Each
time the fortunate lover has died within
a few weeks of the time appointed for the
nuptial ceremony. Yet no suspicion of
dagger or bowl can be cast upon the fair
one-a dark mysterious fatality has car
ried them away Several died of typhoid
fever-one was killed in duel-one was
thrown from a horse-tvo were drowned
two we're killed by railroad accidents,
and one hung himself The lady has sur
vived all these shocks. Thirteen may be
or-her the fortunate, and not the fatal,
number. Who will try?

g1nThe Dayton Journal tells story
of a young man living in Montgomery
county, who had been cripple from his
birth, one of his legs being crooked below
the knee. He recently went to Cincin-
natl to attend a Commercial College, and
grew morbidly sensitive about his lame
ness. He imagined that his appearance
in hobbling about on crutches made him
repulsive, and determined to get rid of the
infrmity. He accordingly had his leg
amputated without consulting his friends,
and is now rejoicing in the belief that with
an artificial leg, he will be able to walk
better than with the natural distorted limb
Pride and pluck conquered the fare of pain.

INTELLIGIBILITY.-S months since
the members of the church of l.
were called together to elect member of
the Board of Trustees.
A gentleman in business as a wholesale
grocer was named as a very suitable man
for the place; but his nomination was We
hemently opposed by another brother,
who was very Jealous in the temperance
cause, on the ground that in the way of
his business he sold liquor. And appealed
to Brother Adams, one of the oldest
members present, who, from his solid and
clerical look was called 'the Bishop" He
said-"What do you say, Brother
Adams?"
"Ahr said Brother Adams, looking
very grave,-drawing up his cane with a
view to emphasize and give point to
what he had to say; "that is not the
worst of it,-(solemn shake of the head)
that is not the worst Of it,"
why, Brother Adams" said the 9TH
ers crowding round and looking for some
others developement, "what else is there?"
"What else?" said Brother Adams,
bringing down his cane with rap, "He
don't keep good article; GIVE tried it 2"
The brother was not elected.

The Bitter Bit.

A few days ago Mrs. Moore whilst
travelling in the cars between Detroit
and Chicago, had her pocket picked of
her purse containing s55. The pick
pocket, gentlemanly looking man, had
made himself generally agreeable to the
lady throughout the journey, and after
easing her of the money, left at a small
station near Chicago, doubtless well salts
fed with his success. But unfortunate
ly for himself, the thief was in such a
hurry to escape, that he left behind him
his carpet bag, containing among other
things valuable diamond pin worth a.
bout $400, which, as a matter OF ex-
change, Mrs. Moore of course confscat-

concerning the churches of the South, the
Board of Missions of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church have sent the Rev. j. z.
Newman, d. D., to New Orleans, to take
charge of all the churches Of that power

b A Western paper notices a curious
specimen of the handiwork of Southern
lady-a pair of knit pantaloons in crochet
work. The work was firmly and neatly
done, and the maker was Mrs. W. IL.
Mackie, of Columbia, Arkansas. During
the blockade IN that region, her husband
needed pair of pantaloons, and as there
was no cloth to be had, she took her cro-
chet needle, and with plenty of homespun
yarn got up an article equal to anything
a merchant tailor could turn out-hand-
some in appearance, and good for "three
years or the war"

questions which were identically the
same, has poisoned the lives, and de-
stroyed the influence, and palsied the ex-
ertions, of scores of public men, who, if
they had magnanimously grappled with
the problem, must have solved it, and
with its solution, have given permanence
to our institutions. But the work which
they did not do is ours; the responsibility
of simple consistency which they evaded
has descended to their children; and the
peace which they bought, at the price of
manliness and courage, has resulted at
last in the very civil war, the fear Of
which would not let them sleep.
For our own part, we have seen so ma
ny and such serious evils resulting from
Constitution requiring continual judi
cial Interpretation, and we think we are
justified in saying Legislative and supple
mentary provision, that we shall not be
sorry to find hereafter an evil so great as
Slavery guarded against expressly and in
so many words. Certainly, upon points
of far less Importance than our mere po-
litical consistency, the Constitution is
sufficiently specific; and, if we are to have
a Government recognizing the freedom
and equality of all persons before the
law, there can be no harm in placing so
noble determination upon record. Then
it will be understood by all, that we ac-
knowledge fealty not to the forms, modes
and shows of Democracy, but that We
have made its essential and vitalizing
spirit the supreme law of regenerated

The Old Story.

"Mamma. mamma, young Eddie Jones,
Who called for me last night,
And by the fallen oak sat down
Beneath the moons soft light,
Whispered so many pretty things
About his country home,
And took my hand in his, and asked
IfI would be his own.
"He called me beautiful, and said
My hand was snowy white,
My lips were coral, and my eyes
Were like the diamonds light;
And then he sighed and looked so sad,
And seemed in such distress,
That when he asked me to be his
had to tell him yes"
"Fie! fie! my daughter-Eddie Jones
A nice young man may be,
But "he can't keep hotel,' nor
X husband be TO thee;
He's nothing but a country clown,
And does not own ''red.''
Before l see you merry him
I'd rather both were dead"
" But, dear mama, young Eddie Jones
Is wealthy, am sure,
For old Spondulicks died, and left
Five thousand pounds or more;
And all the money is his own,
Besides his country home;
Mamma, mamma. I'd rather be
His bride than live alone.
al know he loves the very ground
On which my shadow falls,
And will delight to furnish me
With bonnets, hoops, and shawls;
And more than all his gold can buy,
More than my petted vine
That climbs upon the porch-I love
To know his heart is mine"
Five thousand pounds, and all his own:
Whew! daughter, what pile!
Not that I care fig for wealth,
Therefore, you needn't smile,
But Eddie Jonos has won your heart,
And loves you, too, guess;
So when he asks your hand again,
Just say, | acquiesce."

on this subject learned one fact OF
value connected with the growing of su-

frosted, and cured properly, is far supe-
rior to corn fodder, for winter feed for
horses, and the amount per acre exceeds
any other kind of fodder grown.

ney Professor johnson says that a
pound of cheese is equal in nutrltlve val
ne, to two pounds of flesh. The Euro
means seem to be better acquainted with
this fact than our own people. With us
cheese is regarded rather as a luxury,
while in England it is regarded as one OF
the substantial articles of food, and it is
not uncommon thing for the workmen
there to make a full meal on bread and
cheese alone.

fifteen cents per pound, S8,75O,O00, an
important item in the sugar product of
