Something for the Curious.

Something for the Curious.
God made Adam out Of dust,
But thought IL best TO make me first;
So was made before the man,
To answer Gods most holy plan.
My body ne did make complete,
without an arm, or legs, or feet;
My ways and actions did control,
Yet fashioned me without . soul.
A living being I became.
And Adam gave me soon . name;
Then from his presence I withdrew,
Nor moro Of Adam ever knew.
did my Makers laws obey,
From them never won't astray-
Thousands Of miles run in fear,
But seldom on the earth appear,
Now God in me did something see,
Aud put living soul in me;
But soon Of mo my God did claim,
And take from me that soul again.
Now ~ soon As this soul had fed,
was tho same as when first made
Without an arm, or feet, or soul,
travel now from pole to pole.
I labor hard, both day and night,
To fallen man give great light;
Thousands Of people, young and old.
Shall by my death great light behold.
No fear Of death shall trouble me,
Nor bliss or woe ns'er shall see;
To heaven shall never go.
Or to the dismal shades below.

Bss The Massachusetts plan of'f1ling
her quotas from outside sources is not
new one. So long ago as March 17lh,
l77S, General Washin. ton wrote to j. S.
Bowdoin, President of the Couucil OF Mas
sachusetts, as follows:
"SlR !: 1t G ives me inexrres>ible con-
Germ to have repeated information frem
the best authority, that the committees of
the different towns and districts in your
State have deserters from General Bur-
goyne's army, and employ chem as substi-
tutes 10 excuse the personal service of the
inhabitants"

The Constitutional Amendment.

The New Jersey Legislature has rejected the
resolution ratfying the amendment TO the Con-
stitution abolishing slavery in the Uuited States.
This is The third State that has voted against this
Abolition hobby. Delaware was the first and
Kentucky the second to cast their votes against
it, and seventeen States have ratified it. There
are eight Republican States yet to vote, but they
can only increase the vote in its favor to twenty
six, which still leaves the amendment wanting
one vote TO secure its adoption In the States of
Delaware, Kentucky and New Jersey, the ques-
ton will in all probability be made a test, at the
next election tor members of their Legislatures,
but viii fair vote in these States, there is but
very little doubt that the present majorites
against it will be increased rather than diminish
ed. Some of the Republican papers are claiming
that eighteen States have ratified it, but in the
list published they have set down Virginia
twice. A contemporary thinks Virginia always
was great State, but be thinks that it is only
lately that she has assumed such vast proper
tons.

The Tragedy in Queen Anne's County.

We are panied 10 announce that a most
horrible affair occurred in Wye Neck on
Wednesday morning last, the reports in re-
gard TO which are so contradictory that we
will not vourh for the correctness If either
of the versions here given. One report is
thai on the morning above named William
b. Paca aud his three sons, John p,
James Z. and TiIghman G, were passing
through the farm belonging to the heirs of
the late Edward Paca, when they mel
with Alfred Jones Ga hslf-brother to Mrs.
Edward Paca) and John p. Paca, Mrs f
P.'s son. when some angry words pass.
ed between the parties, whereupon Jones
and John p. Paca, one with hammer,
used in planting fence posts, and the other
with spade, rushed at William B. Paca,
threatened to kill him, when james p aud
Tilshman G. Che whole purity being armed
with double barreled shot, guns, 10 couse.
qucuce, it is alleged, of threats bciug
made by John Z. Paca against VIM. b.
Poca,) shot and Instantly killed both jones
and Plra.
Another version Of the affair is that
WIN. b. Paca and sons were passing
through the farm above mcnlioncd-he
being an uncle and guardian to the chill
dreu of the late Edward Paca, and having
the coutrol aud mauapem, ut OF the farm,
when lie discovered Jones and john p
Paca putting fence abound a "truck-
patch,' near the dwelling, and ordered
them to cease their work, which they re-
fused to do, whereupou VIM. Il. Paca
seized a guu and fired upon Jones, and
james P. and Tilghman G. Paca fired
upon John p. Paca, OF E both Of
whom were instantly killed while at work.
The two sons, james p and I'll CHAM
c., came to Ceulreville on "Wednesday af
ternoon, and surrendered themselves to
the authorities, and were committed to
Jail. On Wednesday night VIM b. Paca,
was arrested by constable Kelley, Of
Queenstown district, and committed to Jail
by Justice Rnwlenson.
&; On Thursday jury ofinquest was held
on the bodies of the deceased, when a yer.
Diet was rendered that Alfred Jones came
to his death from the effect Of gunshot
fred by the hands of William B. Paca !;
and that john P Paca came to his death
from the effect of gupshots fred by the
hands of James p Paca or Tilghmau
c. Paca. Jones was shot in the throat,
and Paea in the jaw and just back of
the ear. They were buried yesterday
We understand the accused parties
will have a hearing before Judge Rob
inson, under writ Of habeas corpus, in a
few days. Jumes p. aud Tighman G
Paca are represented to be idiotic.

Visible Speeeh.

A gentlemen of Edinburgh, Melville
Bell, after twenty years study, has pre-
pared means of writing sounds So as to
be universally lcgihle, / e., of expressing
sounds to the eye with the same precision
rs the mouth conve;s them to the ear -
This mctho has been tested by profess
sor of modern languages in Paris, and of
Persian in Edinburgh. The British
Standard says the Paris professor tested
the applicability of this system of phon"t-
lie symbols to represent the peculiar sounds
of the French, Italian, Spanish, aud Por-
tusucse languages. The writing was de-
ciphered with verHacular correctness by
readers who were not present when the
words we've written. The Persian protts-
sor selected some of the most difficult
words in Hindu, Urde, and p rsian--con,
ssting of gutternalls, dentals, libials-
words which require l0ag practice by stu
dents of the original languages, and by
hearing them uttered b, uarions of the
East. After Mr.. Bell had symbnlized
these selected words On paper, he called
in his two SOUS. who had been in sepa-
ate room, and askc d them to read out the
words They were words the prof ssor
was sure the youth could never have
heard. But, to the establishment of the
professor, the young men sounded them
most accurately, and just as one hears
from natives Of India.

The TELEGRAPH.-On Monday last the indie

a room attacked to the store of Mr.. William Her.

US he acquires sufficient knowledge of the bust
ness, he will TAKE charge of the Office. The man

SPEECH OF ANDREW JOHNSON.

During all this time Andrew johnson
for such he simply was then, not having
taken the oath Of uffice (woud to heaven
that it could be said iu behalf of the coun-
try that he is still only Andrew Johnsou)
continued his speech. Such a speech.
1t might have been appropriate at some
hustings in Tennessee but it certainly
was far from being appropriate on this &C.
casion. 1t was not only ninety-nnth
rate stump speech, hut disgraceiul in the
extreme. He had not proceeded far when
Senators on the Republican side began
to hang their heads, sink down in their
seats, look at each other with significance,
as much as to say, as he crazy, or what
is the matter ?" They exhibited in every
feature great uneasiness. There was no
mistakiOg the fact that the Senators were
mortified in the extreme. The Democrat.
ic Senators learned forward and appeared
to be cbuckling with each other ever the
figure made by the Republican party
tbroug their Vice President elect. The
foreign ministers showed unmistakable
slSuo vi uludLSultbb ~ Tue lUCuueIeub SGU-
fences came from Mr.. Jobnson's lips
Republican Senators moved around in
their seats, unable to sit still under the
exhibition before them. Sumo of the
Senators sat sidewise, others turned their
backs, as if anxious to hide themselves.
The speech was disconptcted the SEN
fences so incoberent that it is impossible
TO give an accurate report of his speech
AS bis sentences came up in the reporters
gallery, the statements that your President
is p!eblan-I am a plebian, glnry in ii
Tennessee has never gone out OF the Union
i am going to talk two MINUTES and q
half on that point-I want you to hear
met. Tenne ssee always WAS loyal-wo all
derive our power from the pe"ple-Chief
Justice Chase is but creature of the peo-
ple-I want you to hear NE two minutes
on that point-you, Mr.. Stanton, Secreta-
ry of War, derive your au horily and pow
err from the people. C'Who is Secretary
of the Navy" was then heard in voice Of
less volume? Some one responded MIR.
Welles) You, Mr.. Welles, Secretary of
the Navy, get your power from the peu-
pie. This WAS the strain and tone Of the
whole speech, mixed with lecture to the
Senate On the action of the Senate on the
rebellious States.
1t was impossible to live full report
sitting in the gallery. The constant clam
or of voices in the rear, declaring, "Wbat
sLame,' HAS be no friends 2" SIS
there 10 person who will have mercy upon
him p "Tell him to stop and save the
country further disgrace" were 50 manner
Gus that it entirely prevented full report
being made. The only full report was
that of the official reporters of the GIote.
The Senators, however, were so cbasrined
at the speech that they notified the Globe
reporter to suppress his copy and walt
until Mr.. johnson could write out a
speech, that this affair might not 60 before
the world ID that form. 1t is charitable
to say that his condition was such that he
was unfit to make speech. He evident
ly did rot shun Bourbon county, Ken
lucky, on bis way here.
