LUSEs NATURE.-We are informed by

OF most remarkable freak of nature A
married lady living four miles North Of
Crestllne lately gave birth to n pair Of
twins, the upper part Of whose bodies re-
sembed snakes one that ofthe copperhead, i,
the other a common black snake. From
their waist lp it is snake-like, they have
nc arms, nothing to Indicate the human,
while from the waist down the organization
is perfectly natural.
After the children were born and being
shown to the poor mother, she begged that
an end might be put TO their existence and
was so affected that she became dcraDged
and is now an inmate Of the insane asylum.
Our informant also states that the ssins,
although but few months DID, crawl
around the floor, hiss and strike at each
other with their faags, fighting like two
snakes everytime they come together.
We do not vouch for the truth Of the
above but give it as was told us By Mr.
Allen Crawford, a conductor running on a
freight tram between this place and Crest
line and We have every re lson to believe
Mr.. g. reliable and trustworthy gentle
man. The mother of the extraordinary
beings, prior to their birth, got frightened

"aEle Black laws

The Supreme Court of Indiana, in q
case appealed from the Marion Common
Pleas, has declared the Thirteenth Article
of our State Constitution, and all laws
passed in pursuance thereof. to be void, as
being in conflict with the Constitution of
the United States
The court holds that any citizen of the
United States, no matter what his color
may DC, who has resided six months in
this State, is citizen of this State The
Judgment was unanimous, and the opinion
was delivered by Chief Justice Gregory.
The Thirteenth Article Of our State
Constitution, thus summarly annulled by
the Supreme Court, was adopted by ma
jority OF more than eighty thousand of the
people of the Stale, and It's validity has
never hitherto been seriously questioned.
y hethcr the court intends to decide that
Il negro who has been in the State six
months may vote, VIC cannot at present say.
Perhaps the time has not yet come when
such decision would be deemed polite
By this decision all the barriers which
our citizens have erected to prevent negro
immigration are thrown down, and there is
no longer any impediment in the way of
this class of persons taking up their resi-
dence in our midst They will doubtless
flow in in largely increasing numbers, to
be fed, clothed, dnctorcd, and buried at
the expense Of the industrious white tax
payers - Netr 1hbGnsy Le11sr.

How the Tariff Works.

Say the cost of making yard Of cotton
cloth is eight cents. the tariff is six cents
per yard An English vessel arrives in
Boston fregbted with cotton cloth. The
owner steps on shore and inquiries what
the duty is He is told that it is six cents
per yard. This. added to the original cost
of his cloth, makes it cost him fourteen
cents, and the expenses of bringing il
acros. the Atlantic one cent more, so that
when he goes into the market with his
cloth, he is obliged to charge fifteen cents
per yard to get his money back, and to
make any profit he will have to charge sew
enteen cents yard fer his cargo. A Low
ell manufactures steps up ard offers his
good.. Just a. good, for fifteen cents, two
cents less than the importer can sell at
and the result is, the importer wilhdraw'
his bills from the Custom house and de
parts with his cargo. He pays no duty tc
the Government, and We. tbs man who
buys the Lowell mans cloth pays seven
cents per yard more than it would have
cost him had there not been duty on it.
And the Lowell man pockets the amount
lie gets the tariff and not the Government
This is no fiction ); it is exactly the case.
Hence, we derive no revenue from this
class of goods, the duty being prohlbitory
and yet, the consumer-the farmer and la
borer-pay seven ce.ts tax on every yard
Of cotton cloth they buy, and it all goes to
the manufacturer. Hence the high price
of cotton goods, and yet not cent OF this
additional price goes to pay the public debt.
This will hold good on nearly every thing
the farmer uses--on all his implements OF
wood, iron, steel and brass Their prices
are enhanced. and yet no revenue accrues
to the Government from them, because
the high duties exclude foreign competi.
ton. Thus it will be seen, that in addi-
ton to the SS00,000 900 paid to the Gov
eroment, fully as much more is paid to the
Eastern manufacturers.
