The war of the American revolution closed

The war of the American revolution closed
about eighty three years ago, and il is an
nounced that, Of all the many thousands who
once figured as revolutionary soldiers on the
pension rolls of the Government, barely two
remain; William Hatchins, of Providence,
Maine and Samuel Cook, of Clarendon, Or
leans county, New York. Several have died
within the past year; and it may be that lb66
will witness the closing Of the books. We
trust the Government will promptly announce
the fact by proclamation or military general
order, and that the death Of the last reyolu

A MINISTER on FIEE.-ln one of our Pres
byterian churches the other Sunday morning
minister was officiating with all due deco
rum and solemnity. All at once he began to
cut up queer antics, and shortly disappeared
from public view, TO the no small astonish
ment Of his auditors. The pulpit being a
close one, boxed up On all sides and the door
shut, the people conld not tell what was CO.
ing on. Smoke arising from the pulpit gave
assurance that there was fire somewhere, and
the stencil filling the house. setting every one
sneezing and coughing. indicating that there
was more birthstone about the pulpit than
was necessary TO conduct An ordinary service
The excited congregation learned after awhile
that the minister was on FIRE. 1t seems that
he carried in his pocket lot ofloose lueifer
matches. and they ignited and set him on
fire. Assistance came and the minister was
put out. The whole thing was ludicrous in
the extreme, and though the service was con-
timed, the solemnity ofthe audience was not
as marked as on some other occasions.-Ne,c

NEGRO SUFFRAGE IN WISCONSIN,

!. NEGRO SUFFRAGE IN WISCONSIN,,
The Supreme Court of Wisconsin has jus,
decided that under the CChstitution Of tha,
State negroes are entitled to the right of suf:
frage.
A colored man sued the judges of election
for rejecting his vote, and on appeal TO the
Supreme Court his right to vote was sustained
and judgment rendered in his favor. Itseems
that an amendment providing for colored suf-
frage was submitted to the people Of Wiscon-
sin by the Convention, and it was provided
that the amendment should be adopted, II it
received majority of the votes cast at the
election.
There was general election for State off.
GERS held at the same time, and it has gener-
ally been held that it required majority Of
the votes cast at the general election. But
the court has now decided that the general
election was not the election referred TO-.
but the election provided to decide upon the
adoption of the amended Constitution. And
that as there was a majority in favor Of the
adoption OF the colored suffrage of all the
votes cast at that election, the provision was
adopted and stands as valid article Of the
Constitution.
The phraseology of our Iowa Convention
was different as it required that the number
of votes given in favor of negro suffrage
SHOULD be equal to majority Of all the votes
cast for and against the Constitution.

Irishman could not hear these statistics with

Of the Fenian organization and constitute an

very clearly that no business which can be
