The constitution copfdes no discretion on
this shbjecttothe General Assembly. 1t declares
that the General Assembly ,!"shaU provide by law
for uniform registration of voters" Nor does
1t stop there but to secure the perpetuity of such
law, it further declares that after its enactment
" no person shall vote unless his name appears
on the register" t.a...3 o.s.,.p, .f-
Without this latter clause, it Certainly would not
be conforming to the spirit Of the constitution to
enact a registry law, andlto follow its enactment
by its hasty repeal but with this latter clause
added, all doubt of the power Of the General
Assembly under the constitution as it stands, is
removed. That power is limited to the perfection
sofihe9law: it does not extendto its repeal. The
committee, therefore, respectfully recommend TO
the General Assembly the adoption ofthe follow
ing resolution aH' .'' y - 1H soti ~ i'
70 .Resol0sd, That neither the temper nor conduct
of the people of this State, who have been hostile
to the Government, nor the condition of our ma

ton ofthe State, warrant any interference with

| Mr.. Perkins was not as valuable to me
this season as | fancied he wouldbe. Every
afternoon he disappeared from the field
regularly, and remained absent some two
hours H G said it was headache; he inherit
ed it from bis mother his mother was Of
ten taken in that way, and suffered good
deal. AT the end of the two hours, Mr..
Perkins would reappear with his head neat
ly done up in a large wet rag, and say he
felt better One afternoon it so happened
that soon followed the invalid to the house,
and as / neared the porch / heard female
voice energetically observe, You stopp'
1t was the voice of the hired girl, and She
added, "Ill holler for Mr.. Brown"
o no Nancy" heard the invalid Per-
kins soothingly say Z" Mr. Brown knows
love you Mr.. Brown approves of it."
This was pleasant for Mr.. Brown T
peered cautiously through the kitchen
blinds, and however unnatural it may ap-
pear, the lips of Mr. Perkins and my hired
girl were very near together. She said,
" You sha'nt do So" and he did do so.-
She also said she would get right up and
go away, and, as an evidence that she was
thoroughly in earnest about it, she remain
ed where she was. tsga8t
They are married now, and Mr.. Perkins
is troubled no more with the headache.
This year we are planting corn. Mr..
Perkins writes me that " On account ofno-

Leathern Artillery.

i The feld-pieces of former ages were ma
chimes of iron or brass, immensely cum
| brous, and almost stunmanageable. The prob
| lem to be solved was, how to render gun
more portable houtlessening its project
lille force. After full consideration of the
matter, Robert Scott came to the conclu-
sion there was nothing like leather OF
hardened leather, therefore, he constructed
guns. The correctness of his idea was test
| ed by experiment, and the result was con-
| sidered to show the Unreasonable superior
! Iity Of leather over brass and iron. Why
he did not lay the invention at the feet of
his own llege sovereign tits needless to In
quire. Perhaps he did so, and was snub-
! bed for his pains, as other inventors have
been since his time. AT all events, he rails
ed a company of two hundred men, and
went over to Sweden, where he was wei
coined by GustavuS Adolphus, who, seeing
I his ability and the value of his discovery,
forthwith took him into his service, and at
the end of two years rewarded him with an
office of quartermaster general OF the army.
After, five years service under Gustavus,
he repaired to Denmark, where he was ap-
pointed general of the Kings Artillery !;
but soon afterwards yielding to the advice
vi lIlSIuS, uC IOCuluSQ " anu
dered his services to his own sovereign,
King CharleseI q This step, which was ta-
Ekenin 1929, turned out a very profitable
one for the colonel. lie was received with
open arms by Charles, who appointed him
one of the gentlemen of the privy cham
Der, granted him an annual pension of 5000
out Of the Court of Wards, and purchased
for him a house in Lambeth at a cost of
Eiel,OO0. Colonel Scott, however, did not
live long to enjoy these tokens of the roy
| al favor ;1for dying in 1871, he was buried
in Lambeth church, where a sumptuous
monument, still to be seen, was erected to
his memory by his loving wife Anne, whom
he married in France. The sculptor has
represented the colonel as an armor clad,
|'ferce-looking man, wearing heavy nous
tache and pointed beard. lsN 81 s7ilTf sdt /
In the very year Of the colonels death,
Gustavus Adolphus had an ample proof of
the effectiveness, and utility of the leathern
artillery, at the memorable battle Of Le-
ipsic. The guns were found to be- porta-
BILE that small battery could easily be re-
moved from onepart of the field to anoth-
er, or anew, battery was made in the space
of ten minutes and when fresh attack
was about to be made on the part of the
enemy a battery was Immediately at hand
to repel it. In fact, it was in great meas
ure owing to the invention of Col. Scott
that the Swedish King obtained SO glorious
a victory and the Imperial General Tilly
himself was constrained to, admit that the
portable cannon performed wonders. Howl
came about thatthe leathern ordinance was
shortly afterwards laid aside as worthless,
is difficult to explain, oreyen to conjecture
but.it.is not recorded to have made any
subsequent appearance on the battlefield,
I though a leathern cannon was fred in Edin-
burgh so late as the year 1788-probably
out of curiosity. the Year Round. -

DoUBLE-MINDED FARMERs.---One great
principle of suceessin business, is learning
a. trade. we'll and then sticking to, it.. 1t re-
ddires long time to know everything con-
nected with successful business. An ac-
,quaintance, a seed.dealer, stated that for
the first FIVE years. she could not ascertain
that he made anything. But he was learn
ing. Before ten years, he was clearing five
thousand dollars per year. Another was
doine-well i'm manufacturing ropes. But
hehwas unstable in mind, and although his
friends advised him to "hang to the ropes"
he was not getting rich fast enough, but he
meddled With business he had not learned
sufficiently, bought d mill bought grain,
and then broke,a bank by his large failure.
Some farmers come to the conclusion that
co,cs arethe most profitable; purchase AMI
mails. erect buildings and begin we'll. But
being new business they do not succeed as
they expected; they might ifthey would
stick oit. The next year they sell their
dairy, and buy sheep. The price OF wool is
low that year and they hear that much
money has been made by raising tobacco.
! sThus they go on, changing from one thing
to anotheI, and never succeeding in any,
Stick to'yOur business.
