when the son Is the equal OF his fatherf
Instead of all men being born free and independ
ent, men are not born. Infants are born, and they
grow up to manhood Instead Of being free and in
dependent they are entirely helpless and dependent.
Freedom and independence cannot exist without the
power of locomotion and the faculty of thought
What right has the infant? Has he the right to go
where he pleasesl BE cannot walk Has he the
right to think for himself to worship God accord
inc TO the dictates of his own conscience His mental
faculties are not developed he is incapable of
thought, and knows nothing Of God. So far from
possessing freedom and independence, infants are
entirely dependent upon their parents, and subject
to their authority and control for many years.
The first clause of the Virginia Bill of Rights was
copied from Locke's theory Of government, and de-
clares that all men by nature equally free and
independent" The Bill of Rights was adopted
Of Independence. The Declaration afRrms that all
men are created equal" The equality to which Mr..
Jefferson referred by this remark was no doubt the
equality Of man in the supposed state Of nature,
when he was exempt from the authority of Others
Mr. jefferson did not intend to convey the idea that
all men are equally entitled to the right of suffrage
or to hold political office. he inculcated no such
doctrine; but he believed that all men had an equal
right to the air and light of Heaven and to worship
God according 70 the dictates of conscience. To
this extent, at least, he concured in opinion with
Locke.
History gives sanction to the notion Of the alb
stract equality Of men; but cOnceding, for mo-
ment that all men are equally free in the so.called
state of nature, what connection has that PROPOSE
ton with the civil and political rights incident to the
organization Of government Can anything be
more Illogical than to maintain that rights, which
are acquired and cOnventional-rights which are the
consequence of government shall be controlled by
principles applicable exclusively to different state
Of things existing prior to the creation Of govern
mentl If all men are born equal and have equal

SHOR~ SKIRTS AND BOOTs.-Now
that short skirts are coming into
vogue in Paris, it is curious to OBJ
serve what coqucttish boots and
shoes are ma ing their appearance.
For dancing, the Louis XIV. boots,
made Of ponH de sole to match the
dress in color, or shoe with Il sham
silk stocking attached, and elastic
sides, are fashionable; bows made OF
either guipire o" blonde are added.
For home wear the ladies patronize
the mule slipper, made Of grOs de
ToroS, and embroidered by hand in
six. and lined with satin to match
the embroidery. The design for
this embroidery il sOmetimesa bou-
quot, sometimes IL largo butterh',
ana OCCASIONALLY il simulated buckle;
Il cord Of the same color finished off
with tassels, terminates the dccora-
tions Of the mule slipper.
Others still more costly are made
of white velvet, bound with cerise
satin, with ccrisc cords and tasscls
in front. Gold is Iavishcd in pro-
fusion, even on ladies' slippers. For
wearing with velvet dresses trim
med with gold, it is now usual to
see boots to match; patent or fancy
velvet used for the purpose, be-
cause it is stronger and wears bet
ter than silk velvet, and narrow
fur bracelet, is added to the top Of
the boot. For outdoor wearthe I'M
glazed black kid boots, with as lit
tie ornament rs possible, are consid-
cred the most lady-like as well as
the most useful, especially for those
who take much walking exercise.

kIr. MeDougaII,s yo1e.

Everybody who knows any thing about
Senator McDougall, of California, was
greatly surprised that so inveterate a Cop
perhead as he should vote in favor of the
COnkng Representation Amendment.
The name and cause Of the vote are
thus explained by a correspondent:
The most remarkable feature of the vote
in the Senate on Friday, was the record of
Senator McDougaIl in the affirmative. 1t
astonished everybody, and it will proba-
bly, surprise the distinguished Senator
himself when his mental and physical
condition enables him to entertain such an
emotion as surprise. The time having
been fixed for taking the vote, each side
had been assiduOus in mastering its force,
and, for the first time in morethan a week.
there was a full Senate, with the exception
of three members absent on the sick list.
and unable to attend. Mr.. McDougall
was OF hand early in the day, in his nor
NAL condition Of inebriety, but none
doubted that he had Judgment enough left
for a good, square, Democratic vote. I'm
mediately before the final vote was taken.
the yeas and nays had been called on half
q dozen extreme radical propositions, none
of which had found more than eight af-
frmatives. At last the original resolution
of the Committee of Fifteen was voted on.
When McDougalIs name was called, he
responded, distinctly and clearly, "aye.'
The Clerklooked at him, the Senators look
ed at him, and the galleries looked at
him. The Clerk mistook his own cars,
and shouted "Mr. McDougall" again.
AYE replied Mr.. McDougall, with an
emphasis that meant Scan't you hear -
with, probably. ayOu I'D fool r. internal
ly added. This increased the astonish-
ment still further. There was no longer
any mistake about 1.-THE California Sen
ator had gone over to the Radical PILLS
tines. Mr.. Riddle, of Delaware, who sat
next to MeDougall, touched him gently
on the shoulder and remarked, 0You
should vote 'no-this is on the adoption
of the resolution thinking he had mis-
taken the question before the Senate.
There Is good reason for believing that
Mr.. Riddle was right in this conjecture,
but AcDOugsll took the hint with very
bad grace, and sharply growled out
Don't you suppose 1 know what I'm
about 2 adding, after a moments refee-
ton, I've been voting no all day, and
Its abont time to vote ave on something
or another" 1t was still thought that
the gallant Senator from the Golden
State would change his vote before the re-
suit was announced, a privilege which the
rules of the Senate accorded to all. But
did not although he has since stated,
am told, that if riddle hadn't made
him mad by trying to teach him his duty,
be would have done so.

in Mexico. 1t consists Of a full set OF
equipments for a saddle horse, fashioned
| after the Mexican style, and valued at be-
