Marquis, handsome young medical

ROLLING GR4IN.-The practice OF
rolling grain in the spring is not as gen.
eral as it ought to be. Now and then
the winter and early spring have been
so favorable to the crop as not to make
rolling necessary. But in three seasons
out of four it is necessary, and doubtless
adds considerable to the productiveness
of the. crop. The thawings and freezings

Our rRepublicanrFOrm of Govern.
ment Rev0lutiOnized.

Z . +
What Democratic papers have been de.
claring about the change that has beer
made in our Republican form of Govern.
ment, is now being acknowledged by Re.
publican journals. The Reconstruction
Act passed by the late Congress, and ve-
toed by the President, is SO fragrant an
act of despotism, and SO gross violation
of the Constitution, that all candid Re-
|publicanspaper are constrained to admit
the change the war has made in the char
acter of the Government. The New York
Times (Rep.) says Of the Southern peo.
pie and that bill: Et
ave do not wonder that they deem the
terms (ef reconstruction required harsh
and illiberal. We agree in so regarding
them. We deem them unjust and mex
#pedient-at war with the Constitution
and hostile to the dictates of wise and
considerate craftsmanship. But how does
this help their case? Suppose the terms
imposed are Observation-Disclosures does
the South expect to avert their imposi.
tion? Has it not discovered that whatever
the right may be, the power of this Gov
ernment rests With Congress? That body
oyerrales alike the vetoes of the Presi
dent and the decisions of the Supreme
Court; and in neither case is there any
authority that can overrule its authority
or avert its action"
The New York Commercial (Rep.) alst
bears the following testimony
"All the limitations to the exercise o
power contained in the Constitution, th'
opposition of the President and the de
cisions Of the Supreme Court Of the Uni
ted States, have been set aside and over
ridden by Congress. Thus has our vaun
ted form Of Government been revolu
tionized by war"

when you are going to faint. Mind, you

Never faint unless it is convenient to
fall into the arms of the young gentle

Fat sheep yield heavier and coarser

Pennsylvania, when taken to the prairies

The "German.o


comparatively new and fashionable dance
known as the "German:'
1t is customary, when a lady contem-
plates giving large German to invite
gentleman friend, known to be good
dancer, some days previous, to lead; and
he having accepted the invitation, can in
troduce his own figures in the dance
Some figures are danced with flags, bells,
flowers, sc. Gentlemen who go out a
great deal in society usually have their
own flags. bells: and badges, which they
lend when invited to Lead
To dance the "Germana every gentle
man chooses partner, and sit in couples
until forming large ring around the
room. Every figure is commenced by
the leading couple at the head of the set,
and at a signal from the leader. one, two
or three other couples start at the same
time. The couple called up usually dance
short gallop or waltz, and then form
the figure as the leader directs, each figure
being closed by another gallop or waltz,
lasting about minute. The first figure
may be thus described;
The leading couple starts with few
turns of the galiOp. They then separate
in the middle Of the floor. The gentle
man chooses two ladies from the ring land
the lady two gentlemen. They then place
themselves opposite each other, in the
center of the room; on one side, the gen.
tleman between two ladies, and on on the
other the lady between two gentlemen.
The next movement is forward and back
twice. The leader then elevates his
hands, holding those of the ladies on
each side, thus forming two arches, through
which the opposite two ladies pass. In
this way all balance" then the hands
are let 60, the leading lady stepping be-
tween the two gentlemen. Then follows
the "grand chain" and at sign from the
leader, each gentleman dances a gallop
with the lady whom he holds by the right
hand, and at the close Of which all return
to their seats. This figure is repeated by
all the couples in turn.
IF the German be large one, three
couples may be started at the same time.
The step in the figure is choin, more
persons walking than dancing it, the time
of the music being almost entirely disre-
garded. Not So, however, with the GAL
lop or waltz which precedes OF termi-
mates it. After each couple in the ring
have danced the figure, the leader stops
the music. An intermission of five min
utes takes place, when the signal is given
for the second figure. Each figure is gen.
orally so eontrived that no one knows with
whom he is going to close it, and, in
some cases there is regular scramble
for partners. In choosing them, the in
clinations of the parties become pretty
clearly developed, the young ladies al
ways managing to place themselves in the
way of the partner they prefer above all
others. Anxious match making mothers
usually watch this part of the dance with
interest. After season of the "German, u
there is no difficulty in deciding what
more serious engagements are in prospect
