THE PREsEET CONDITION OF MOUNT VRRHOH
"A recent visit to Mount Vernon has found lht
place In good state of preservation, none OIL
lhe ravages Of war having extended in that
direction. The scouting parties of both armies
have always regarded il as neutral grounds,
and never violated its precincts by acts OF
hostility. The agent Of the Mount Vernon
Association remains al the mansion, and is a
bitter Secessionist, not having visited Alexandria
since the war, 10 consequence OF the necessity
Of taking the oath. His wife, however, sub
scribed to the oath and is allowed to come to
the city for supplies. The house remains pre-
claely as II was four years ago. The same table
and blank book for registering the names of
visitors stands in the hall, with the key to the
French Bastile, presented by Lafayette to
Washington, hanging over them in It's little glass
case, and specimens Of wood and minerals above
The doors. The agent, with his wife and two or
three children, occupy suite of rooms on the
left Of the hall, and few negroes inhabit the
kitchen. The tomb, 80 often described, remains
untouched. lonely Ph9be' bird has built
against the wall inside, and with it's plainliye,
monOlonous call, is the only thing to break the
dead silence Of the spot. 1t is subject for
generalization that 80 little expense is required
10 put the premises in as complete order for the
reception Of visitors as before the war. Tho
ieaees need some repairs, the shrubbery requires
trimming, end few vacant places in the flower
garden might be filled with plants, but beyond
this little remains 10 bO done. The landing
place is in perfect order, though tho water has
become rather shallow, but at high tide will no
doubt be of sufficient depth to permit light.
draught steamers to land. It is understood
that arrangements are now on foot for reopening
The mansion to visitors, and that in short time
excursion triPa TO this spot will be regularly
made.

DRMoNsTRATI0N IN THE LEGISLATIVE BoDY OF
BREMEN OVER THE DOWNFALL CT THE REBELLION.
The following translation Of an extract from
the proceedings Of the legislative body Of the
republic of Bremen has been received by the
Department of State from the United States
consul at that place
SESSION OF the LEGISLATIVE BoDY
Wednesday, April 10, 1865.
Al the opening of the session the President,
Judge +. A. Meyer, addressed the assembly
with the following words;
"Before we begin to transact our regular
business, let us remember the joyful and most
important news which arrived in those last
DAYS from the other side Of the Atlantic ocean.
Let US remember aud enjoy the great victory
won by the armies of the Union over the rebel
lion OF the Shareholders Bremen is, aud has
always been, in the most intimate connection
with the United States. Many Of our sons are
fighting in the ranks off, the Federal army and
the meh of free labor, and the Germans have
shown that persistency and 'valor must finally
conquer victory even over the iufuriated sirug-
Cling elements Of the enemy.
"Gentlemen let US show our sympathy with
the American Union by rising from our seats !"
The entire assembly rose, and gave three en-
thusiastic cheers for the American Union, and
for the victory Of the just cause.
The consul concludes his communication as
| follows:
"The glorious news Of the Sth of Apri
brought by the America. arrived here yesterday
and the victory at Burkesylle has been celebra
ted In the same enthusiastic manner as the grea
news of the 9th Of April"

any portion of the people of the South to renew
acts of hostility against the Government.

TOBACCO AND INSANITY The Paris CORES =
pondent Of the London Star says 81 mentioned
lately the frightTul increase Of mental alienation
and paralysis of the brain in France. II has
been proved that this increase Of lunRcy has
kept pace with The augmentation Of the revenue
from tobacco. from the year 1872 to 1882 that
tax produced % millions, and the lunatic
asylums Of the country contained I, 900 patients
The tobacco revenue has now reached tho sum
Of lBO millions, and there are no less than
$4,000 paralyic and luuatio patients in tho
various hospitals devoted to their acoomm6dl-
tion. This parallel has been drawn by NJ Jolly
and laid before the Academy of Science. The
last words Of his speech Oh that occasion nre
worth recording, ia this age Of universal smOk-
ing, and young boys to whom this pernOioua
practice has not yet lejOme second nature,
would do well to reflect, ere be too late, on
the frighiful warning the above statistics con
tain, as well as on NJ Jolly's words lie says;
The immoderate use of tobacco, and more
especially OF the pipe. produces II weakness in
the brain and in The spinal marrow which causes

Ing to their candidate for the place." My
friend asked what was the objection TO their
man. The President quickly replied, "lle is
a druukard. ! hear bad stolias OF his moral
character, yet his hackers are among the best
Republicans in the State like the fellows
friends, but it goes against my conscience to
give the place TO a man who CANDLES and

fused to give the appointment to the applicant,
and gave it to another person who did not ask
for it, but hose character was above suspicion.

The ABOLITION OF SLAVERY The Phladel-
phia Inquirer of Fr iday, tays;-The Constitu
tional amendment abolishing slavery has now
been ratified by the States OF Connecticut,
Illinois. Indiana, Kansas, Maine, Maryland,
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri,
Nevada, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin
all loyal States and eighteen ia number. II
has been also ratified by Virginia (Pierpoint Gov.
ernment). Louisiana, Tennessee aud Arkansas.
These States are by some considered doubtful as
to legality of organization. by others it is
asserted that they are lawful Governments.
The matter may require the adjudication of the
Supreme Court. But adding these to the mum.
Der the Constitutional amendment has been rat-
fed by twenty-five States. New Hampshire, O.,
Iowa, Oregon and California will undoubtedly
ratify It, making the whole number twenty.six
Kentucky has offered to Iatify it 90 conditions
which will not be granted. II will be her
interest to do so without conditions at tht next
session of the Legislature. This would make
the full number Of twenty seven, all that are
required But there can be little doubt that ere
long the ex slave States will return to the Union
with Legislatures that will ratfy the amend.
ment. Certainly enough of them will adopt il
to render the thing secure. New Jersey and
Delaware enjoy the distinction, such as it IL, OF
being the only States that have rejected the
amendment.
