Art and Science.

Red noses are light houses to wafnyoy-
ayers on the sea of life off the coast Of Ma
laga, Jamaica, Santa Cruz, and Holland.
1t appears that the new variable star
recently discovered in the constellation Of
the northern crown, was also discovered on
May Is, by astronomers in England
Gen. Santa Anna is negotiating for the
equestrian portrait of Gen. Scott, painted
by Froye by resolution of the State of Vir-
ginia, and now on exhibition in the Capitol.
A female ami lays ninety thousand eggs
per day, and the queen bee between FIVE
thousand and six thousand A single plant
louise will in the fifth generation have a
progeny Of six billions of lice, and be iv-
ing at that time.
An humble bee has been known to dis
lance a locomotive going at the rate of 20
miles an hour, and dragon-fy to escape
from swallow after an hours chase. A
few burying- beetles will place mole under
the earth in an hour, which is feat equal
to as many men burying a large whale in
the same space of time.
The Scientific american says: q The IN
pleasant odor produced by perspiration is
frequently source Of vexation to persons
VINO are troubled Wltn II. Nothing Is more
simple than TO remove this odor much more
| etfectually than by the application of such
| unguents and perfumes as are in common
use. 1t is only necessary to procure some
of the compound spirits of ammonia and
place about two tablespoonfulls in basin
of water. Washing the face. hands and
! arms with this leaves the skin as clean,
sweet, and fresh as one could wish The
wash is perfectly harmless and very cheap;
it is recommended on the authority of dis
tinguished physician.

A Dreadful Calamity Two Young
Ladies found Dead I'm a Vault.

One of the most lamentable and shocking
casualties we were ever called upon to
chronicle occurred yesterday afternoon
About half-past two o'clock, Miss Jennie
Brown, daughter of DR.. w. W. Brown, re-
siding on Madison street, few doors below
Eleventh street, together with Miss Sallie
Hart, young lady spending the day with
her, left the parlor and their absence was
not noticed by Mrs. Brown until lady
caller, about an hour and half subse-
quently, went to the privy and returning,
told Mrs. Brown there was no floor in the
out house Mrs. Brown Immediately sus-
pected the dire calamity that had befallen
her daughter and friend and gave the alarm.
AS soon as possible, and after considerable
trouble, the bodies of the unfortunate young
girls were taken from the horrible pit in
which their happy lives were sacrificed.
Miss Brown was eighteen years of age, and
was TO have been married very soon. Miss
Hart was year older than her friend, and
boarded with her mother, at MIR. Moore's, on
Broadway. Mrs. Hart was absent from the
city on days visit to friend living few
miles in the country. Both we're prepos-
sessing young ladies, and great favorites
with their circle of associates. Coroner
Gill held an inquest upon the bodies. and Q
verdict was returned in accordance with
the facts.
Dodgeville chronicle. [volume] (Dodgeville, Wis.) 1862-current, 1866-06-28

On account of serious typographical
errors, and also on account of its great i'm
portance and the popular interest felt in it.,
we re-publish the Constitutional Amend
ment upon which the States are now to take
action:
RESOLVED by the Senate and House Of Repre-
sentatiUes an the United States Of america in
Congress assembled (two-tAirds Of both Houses
concmring): That the following article be
proposed to the Legislature of the several
States as an amendment to the Constitution
of the United States, which, when ratified
by three-fourths of said Legislatures, shall
be valid as part of the Constitution. namely:
ARTICLE =. Section l. All persons born
or natul alizedi in the United States, and sub
ject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens
of the U nited States and Of the State where
in they reside; no State shall make or en-
force any laws which shall abridge the
privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States, nor shall any State deprive
any person of life or property without due
process of law, nor deny to any person
within its. jurisdiction the equal projection
of the laws. a. - -
SEC. 2. Representatives shall be appor-
toned among the several States according
to their respective numbers, counting the
whole number of persons in each State, ex-
cludingl Indians not taxed; but whenever
the right to vote at any election for electors
of President and Vice President or for
United States representatives in Congress,
executive and judicial officers, or the mem
bers of the legislatures thereof, is denied to
any of the male Inhabitants OF such State,
being twenty,one years Of age, and citizens
of the United States, or in any way abridged
except for participation in rebellion or other
crime, the basis of representation therein
shall be reduced in the proportion which the
number of such male citizens shall bear to
the whole number of male citizens twenty
one years of age in such State.

Dodgeville chronicle. [volume] (Dodgeville, Wis.) 1862-current, 1866-06-28

The President has sent to Congress the
following message in regard to the proposed
Constitutional Amen ment:
submit to Congress report Of the Sec
rotary of State, to whom was referred the
concurrent resolution Of the 18th instant,
respectinp a submission to the Legislature
of the States of an additional article to the
Constitution CT the United States
1t will be seen from this report that the
Secretary Of State had, on the 10th instant,
transmitted to the Governors OF the several
States certified copies of the joint resolution
passed on the 18th, proposing an amendment
to the Constitution
Even in ordinary times question of
amending the Constitution must be Justly
regarded as of paramount importance. This
importance is at the present time enhanced
by the fact that the joint resolution was
not submitted by the two Houses for the
approval Of the President, and that of the
thirty-six States which constitute the Union,
eleven are excluded from representation in
either House of Congress, although with
the single exception OF Texas, they have
been restored to all their functions as States,
in conformity with the organic law of the
land, and have appeared at the national
capitol by Senators and Representatives,
who have applied for and been refused ad-
mission to the vacant seats; nor have the
sovereign people of the nation been afford
ed an opportunity of expressing their views
On the important questions which the amend
lnent involves. ft
Grave doubts, therefore, may naturally
and justly arise, as to whether the action of
Congress is in harmony with the sentiments
Of the people, and whether State Legisla-
lures, elected without reference to such an
issue, should be called upon by Congress to
decide respecting the ratification of the
proposed amendment. Waving the ques-
ton as to the constitutional validity of the
proceedings of Congress upon the joint
resolution proposing the amendment, Or as
to the merits of the article which il submits
through the Executive Department to the
Legislatures Of the States, i deem Improper
to observe that the steps taken by the Sec
rotary of State, as detail ed in the accompa-
nying report, are to be considered as purely
ministerial and in no sense whatever com
hitting the Executive to an approval of the
recommendation of the amendment to the
State Legislatures, or to the people. On
the contrary, proper appreciation of the
letter and spirit of the Constitution, as well
az the interests of national order, harmony,
and union, and a Difference for an enlight-
ened public judgment, may at this time well
suggest a doubt whether any amendment to
the Constitution ought to be proposed by
Congress- and pressed on the Legislatures
of the several States for final decision, until
after the admission of such Senators and
Representatives of the now unrepresented
States as are now, or hereafter may be
chosen, in conformity with the Constitution
and laws of the United States.
ANDREW JOHNSON
