ORAroRY.-In speech delivered by
Henry, Clay before the students Of the
New York State and National Law
School, that great orator said on oratory (:
~ owe my success in life to one single
fact, viz: That at the age Of twenty. seven
| commenced and continued for years the
process of daily reading and speaking up,
on the contents Of some historical and
scientific book. Those off hand efforts
were sometimes made In a corn-feld, and
others in the forest, and not unfrequently

superior advantages you hereby enjoy

The Impeachment Of the Prcs.
M oe5 olea ident. 515. Isf.r.


The New York Times, tho ablcst shee,
of its party, has denounced the attempt
of its party leaders to impeach President
johnson as becoming "more and more
contemptible::" VI bp...sgt l5s
The impeachment business becomes
more and more contemplate. The com.
mittee continues its labors 10 search Of
charges with the desperation which fail.
ure daily renders more apparent. Months
ago the cry went forth for the removal
Of the President for offences which were
imputed to him. Then evidence was
sought in support Of these charges, and
now the charges themselves are abandon
ed, Else why this hunting for fresh
"crimes" and other gounds Of arraign-
mentf If the indictment drawn by Ash.
ley and Butler were teuable, think YOU
we should hear the eager inquiry for wit.
nesses on matters not yet week old p
The latest story is that General Burton,
who took JEFF. Davis to Richmond, is to
be examined, with the faint hope Of
gathering succor from the talk of the ex.
rebel chief. Mr.. Seward, too, is to be
examined on matters equally novel and
ncnsensical. Altogether, the committee
finds itself in tight place-with 0
strong desire to impeach, but without
proofs or even charges to warrant i'm.
peachment. Some Of its witnesses are
represented as having attempted to prove
too much, Gen. Baker being Of the mum.

A Gigantic Ant story.

At his lecture ir New York, on Equa.
torial Africa, NJ. Du Chaillu told the fol.
lowing big ant story: 'aa.ar'1 81 as9 ,'9'
Bashikonay is the name given It BY the
Bakalai. There are two other varities Of
Bashikonay besides the black kind
These Bashikouay may well be called the
lorda Of the forest. It's the most vora.
cious creature | ever met, It is the dread
Of all living animals, from the leopard to
the smallest irsects It's their habits to
march through the forests 10 long, reg,
ular line, a line about two inches broad
and often several miles in length; all
along this line are larger ants, who act ass
of6ccrs-stand outside The ranks, and
keep this singular army in orler. If they
cone to place where there are no trees
to shelter them from the sun, whose heat
they cannot bear, they Immediately build
an underground tunnel, through which
the whole army pass in columns to the
forest beyond. ..a I
| When they grow hungry, as by a sud
den ommand, the long file spread itself
through the forest, advancing forward.
attacking and devouring all living things
with fury that is quite irresistible
The elephant and gorilla Fly before them;

malthat lives in their line Of march is
chased. In an incredibly short space Of

eton remains. They seem to travel day
and night. Many a time have I.taken to
the water TO save myselt from them. -
IWheR they enter a house they clear it Of
everything. Cockroaches are devoured
in an instant; rats and mice spring
around the room 10 vain. They will not
touch. vegetable matter, thus they are
very useful, clearing the country Of many
insects. When on their march the insect
world flies before them, and I have often
had the approach Of Q Bashikonpy army
heralded to me BY this means,
Wherever they 60 they make clean
sweep, even ascending TO the top Of the
trees in pursuit Of their prey. Their
manner Of attack 10 an impetuous leap
instaptly.the strong pinchers are fastened,
and they only let go when the piece gives
way. At such time this little insect
seems animated by kind Of fury which
causes it to disregard entirely its own
safety. The negroes relate that criminals,
by which they generally mean wizards,
have sometimes been exposed on the path
Of the Basbikonayants, tied to q tree SO
they might not escape, and then been de-.
voured to the bones. They are larger
than any ants we have in America. The
number Of one Of their armies is so great

Thsg Cincinnati Comnsfciial was among
the mott anxious in the State, that an %
amendment should be- submittsd to q
vote Of the people, striking from the
Constitution the word "White," II is
not satisfied with the Amendment as the
Republicans in the Legislature have
patched it up. 1t is of the impression
that if its effect is to disfranchlse siip or
eight thousand soldiers, who have no off.
cial discharge, but who nevertheless did
gallant service throughout the actual con.
tinuance of tho war, it will be defeated
Senator Kellogg stated, on the authority
Of the Adjutant General of tho State,
that the muster rolls show that from sir
teen to eighteen thousand soldiers are
marked as deserters who undoubtedly did
faithful seryicej but who returned home
without leave when Lee and johnson had
surrendered their armies. Mr.. Kellogg
protested against disfranchising these
men until the last moment, when he
yielded aud became party to this medi.
tated great wrong to white soldiers
There soldiers, who are thus sought to
DO disfranchised, do not only owe il to
themselves to assist in voting down the
Amendment, but in voting into minor
ity the party that seeks to heap this in.
fanny upon Them. - State'mon. yIao.

IA few notes on the history of ILuzem.
burg may be yf, interest at the present
moment. Originally a county, Luxem:
burg was made a d6chy ID 1854, and re:
mainsd urder the dominion Of its dukes
during the fourteenth and fifteenth cen.
turtles, Louis XIV seized the southern
part Of. the Duchy and incorporated il
With France, the remainder being left
under the rule Of Austria until the French
revolution, when the whole Of Lrxem.
burg became French possession. The
Congress Of Vienna again restored its
separate existence, and the king Of the
Netherlands became its Grand Duke. -
In 1880 it joined the Belgians in their
revolution, and the London Conference
divided it between Belgium and Holland.

THE ELECTIONS

PENNsYLvANIA.-Th footing up OF the re-
ported majorties in As counties, with the lat
est corrections, show democratic majority OF
8,267. There are 81 counties to come III, OF
which, IS gave Radical majorltles last year.
ONO. One dispatch from Columbus datel
Yesterday saws both parties claim the cleo
ton in the State BY small majoriIes. The pro-
liability is that Hayes republican, Tor Govern
or, will have II small majority. The LegIsa-
ture will contain small jorty Of republic
probably not over one in the House anu Two
in the Senate. The constitutional amendment
is defeated by large majority. Another as
patch from Columbus, dated II CLOCK last
night says. "IIavc heard from sixty TOUR
counties, and make an average gam 10 coin
" of five hundred and sixteen twenty lonr
counties yet 70 be heard from In these coun,
ties an average gain OF fourteen hundred and
four is necessary to carry the State. The Leg,
isIature is believed 10 be Democratic by a small
majority. The counties to be heard from are
those lying south OF the National road. and
which are not traversed by either railroads or
telegraphs They are, almost without ex'
ccption Democratic counties.
INDIANA.--Little Interest appears to have
been manifested in reference to the election IN
Indiana. The returns received are scattering
and show steady L emocratc gains.
IowA.-The returns from Iowa are meagre,
and not enough to give an approximate estimate
of the majority for the Republican ticket.
Returns from most of the counties along the
Dubuque and Sioux City, and the Dubuque
and Southwestern railroad, give increased
Democratic maOrltieS.
