THK CONSTITUTIONAL ANEHDNKNr.-Goy.
ernor Curtin, OF Pennsylvania. in letter lust
published. says: The question OF calling an
ex' session OF the Legislature, to ratify the
amendments proposed by the Congress Of The
United States, has been carefully Considered
As sosn as Congress finally passed the amend
ments, consulted with the Governors of
several OF the States by telegraph, with the
view OF securing immediate and con certed ac.
ton In ratifyi ing them; believing that such a
course might hasten the great end TO be attained
BY their incorporation into our organic law
But the proposition was not received with the
favor anticipated, and IL now seems settled
that there will be NO general action OF the
States TO ratify BY extra session, even IL Penn
sylvania should do so. To call an extra session.
In this State, therefore, would not in any de-
gree hasten the adoption of the amendment by
sumcient number Of the States. Should the
loyal States, or, indeed, any considerable
number Of them, unite in calling extra sessions
OF their legislative bodies TO ratify the amend
ments, L shall very heartily unite with them,
regarding, as i do, the speedy adoption Of the
amendments as the greatest blessing that ca
be bestowed upon our whole country"

DAVID CRoCKET.-An anecdote
is related of this remarkable man,
which does him infinitely more
honor than any Office he ever held.
Before he was candidate for Con-
gress, or expected to be, there was
a season Of scarcity in the Wes-
tern District, where he lived
He went up the Mississippi, and
bought a flat-boat of corn, and
took it to what he called 'his old
stamping ground" When man
came to him to buy corn, the first
question he asked was-"Have
you got the money to pay for t?'
If the answer was in the affirma-
tive, Davy's reply was, "Then
YOU can't have a kernel, | brought
It here to sell it to people that have
no money" 1t was the founda-
ton Of his popularity.

Cure for Snake and Insect
Poison.


This is the Smithsonian antidote |
for snake and insect poison:
: 10 grains of the iodide of potas
stun;
80 grains of iodine;
l ounce Of water, the solvent.
To be kept in a vial with a
ground glass stopper, and applied
externally to the wound. 1t is not
to be taken as medicine internal
ly. In using it no time is to be
lost; as death often ensues from a
snake bite in fifteen minutes.
Bites usually are inflicted on the
hands or feet; and when this is
the case, the first thing to be done
is to stop the circulation of it with
the blood, by applying a ligature
to the leg or arm above the wound.
A pocket. handkerchief, the sus-
pender, piece Of rope, or strip Of.
bark, in an emergency, can be used;
and gun, umbrella, or walking
stick, or limb of tree or axe, or
hoe helve, can be made a toau7asquet
to tighten the bandage. Then
saturate piece of cotton batting,
sponge, a lock of wool or anything
that will hold the fluid, with the
antidote and sponge the bite with
it, and bind it oft, keeping it wet
with it, until it effects cure,
which it will do in an hour, and
sometimes instantly. If practical
BILE, cupping glass ought to be ap-
piled, and the antidote should be
placed upon the blister; but as
bites usually are inflicted upon the
fingers or toes, or among tendons
and bones of wrists, ankles, or pro-
tuberances of the feet and hands,
the process of cupping is frequent
ly impossible. The antidote is SO
complete that 5 drops of undiluted
poison from the fangs of rattle
snake, mixed with 5 drops of the
antidote, and inserted in a wound
with syringe was found by ex-
pertinent to be as harmless as ten
drops of water.
