get duly voted and sanctioned, was con
trary to law; that the only excuse for
such illegality which this cabinet had
been obliged to commit during the last
few years, was duty devolying upon
them to keep the admi nistrative machine
going; and that Bill of Indemnity,
therefore, was as much required under
the Constitution as he hoped it would
be readily granted by the Commons.
Then, alluding to the original cause OF
the quarrel, be intimated that now, when
the Prussian army was likely to receive
a considerable increase from the aggran-
dizement of the State, and the acquisi-
tion of permanent allies, it would be
much wiser to effect a compromise on
the vexed question of military service
In this case he hnted, in conclusion, the
right of the purse, as vested in the
House, would be no longer disputed by
the crown.
/ have no doubt that these terms will
be accepted by Parliament, as, indeed,
they were received with loud applause in

going to ask to defray a portion of the
cost of the war will be sure to meet with
little, if any, opposition.
The Crown Princess, being in deep
mourning for her infant son, did not

Alyioe to Ladies'.

Jenny June writes to New Yorl;
paper from Saratoga: "The ladies' here
expose themselves to criticism by wear.
ing, for dancing, high black boots and
black shoes with thin white dresses.
This is unheard of gaucherie, unless the
dress is trimmed with black The pres
ent fashion of hoops, and the present
style of dancing expose the feet-and
much more and the EXTREMIST care and
nicely is required in dressing the feet,
and the arrangement of the under-skirts
and other garments. Nothing can be
more Disseminating than to see a pair of
large feet encased in corresponding
black boots, whirling round uRder thin
white dress and scant skirts And this
reminds us TO venture hint, that their
dresses require voluminous drapery be-
meath and over the hooped skirts Many
gentlemen have fashion of juggling n
lady up and down, and jerking her round
in a way that startles one or two ordi-
nary skirts out of all propriety, and mn
less the dress is very deeply trained
and properly supported by skirts trained
in the same way, and of the same length,
mortifying disclosures and accidents are
inevitable"

A Model Obituary,

J. Benks, we are sorry say, has de-
ceased, and a Western obituary thus
pays tribute to his memory;
." Jem was generally considered n
good feIler. He went forth without a
struggle, and sich is life To-day we are
as peppergrass - mighty smart - to-
morrow we are cut down like cowcum-
bers to the ground. Jem kept nice
store, which his wife now waits on. His
verchews were numerous TO behold
Many is the things we bot at his grocery,
and we are happy to state to the ad-
miring world, that he never cheated,
especially in the weight of maekerel,
which was nice, and smelled sweet We
never knew him TO put sand in sugar,
though he had a big sand bar in front of
his house, nor water in his liquors,
though the Ohio river runs past his
door. Peace to his remains. He leaves
| wife, children, | COW, a grocery store,
and other quadrupeds to mourn his loss,
but, in the laHgwidge of the poit, his
loss was their eternal gain.

Brutal Murder in East Tennessee.

A most shocking and brutal murder
was committed, on Saturday last, in An
derson county, East Tennessee, two
miles above Island Ford, The victim
was Mrs. Masengill, wife Of George
Masengill, who is represented to have
been a most worthy and excellent lady,
and noted for her generous and charita-
BILE treatment to her neighbors. Her ab-
sence having created some alarm, a
search was instituted, and when found,
strange 20 say, she was standing upright
in the river, with her hands tightly cord
ed, while the numerous marks and linden
