The Government has claimed for all persons
not convicted, oraccused, orsuspected ofcrime,
an absolute political right of self expatriation,
and choice of new national allegiance. Most
of the European States have disscnted from
this principle, and have claimed right to hold
such of their subjects as have immigrated to and
terwards returned on transient visits TO their
native countries, to the performance of military
service in like manner as resident subjects. -
Complaints arising from the claim in this res
pect made by foreign States, have heretofore
been matters of controversy between the Uni
ted States and some of the European Powers,

has discovered near Huanchinango,
the ruins of city built and inhabited
by the aborigines long before the time
of Cortez, and furnishing indubitable
evidence of the high attainments Of the
people in civilization and the arts. This
city is Of considerable extent, sur
rounded by stone wall five yards in
thickness and ten feet high, and having
its streets paved with polished stone.
Many fine specimens of architecture
were discovered, among them mag
nifcent palace, supposed to have been
the residence of some Indian king, and
also statuary and paintings of a supe-
rior character, monuments, reservoirs
acqueducts, canals, and all the con-
comitants of civilized and educated

OF There are hundred thousand
young men TO- day, says the New York
Times, who, with half the ambition and
energy they are expending to beat
some shrewd sharper at billiards, might
raise bale of cotton; with half the
money they are squandering every year
for poor oysters and worse whisky,
might purchase principality, and have
a chance to live like men until their
hairs were gray, instead of dwelling
here and falling at last to piliful beg
gary.

member Of the House of Commons, who
kept crying out every few minutes
shear, hear" During the debate he
took occasion to describe a political CO.
temporary that wished to play the
rogue, but who only had sense enough
to act the fool.
"Where," exclaimed he, with great
emphases, "where shall we find more
knavish fool than he r.
"Hear, hear" was shouted from the
troublesome member.
Sheridan turned round, and thanking
him for the prompt information, set
down amid a general roar of laughter

To live much in little time is, in a

The strongest man feels the influence
of a woman's gentlest thoughts, as the
mightiest oak quivers in the softest

Adversely overcome is the brightest
glory, and, willingly undergone, tie

trials of gallant spirits.
Extravaganza in dress is a conse>

respect until she had been taught to
attach more Importance to externals
than to the sources Of happiness which
