What we can honestly ask is this When
subject of Great Britain has removed
here in good faith, and has resided here
continuously during the five years of pro-
baton which our laws of naturalization re-
quire, and has been naturalized in due
form, then the British Government shall
allow that he has changed his citizenship,
and that she has thenceforth no claim OH
him as subject. Aud we expect OF course,

naturalization laws or the part of Great
Britain. There have been signs that the
British Government would accede to such
basis If she should desire TO set a
longer time of probation, we, who have
recognized the prOpriely of a term of al
least FIVE years, would have no right TO sci
that down srrogantly as the term that must

BiughRm on PendIeton.

In the speech Of Mr.. Bingham on recon.
struction reported in the Globe of the 18th,
the Democratic nominee for the Presidency
is thus stripped and chastised: a
The words Of the gentlomau's report are
stereotyped, II was my privilege, sir, to
stand on this floor this day seven years
ago, and hear precisely the uttorauce to
which we have listened to day, when men
were mastering in South Carolina as men
mastering to-day, against the supremacy Of
the Constitution aud the integrity of ,he

ships, seiaing your citizens, charged and

1t ia a significant fact that the very Eop.
rcsentative from my own State who on that
day stood on this floor, and with an unoton
as fervent ms that which marks the utter.
ance of the gentleman to day, declared af.
ter those acts of secession, after those acts
ot incipient treason, that it vas con-
trary to the genius and spirit of the Con.
stitution to coeroe seceding States. The

for treason saying that it is unconstitu,
tional to provide by law for carrying into
effect the written letter of the Constitution.
When the contest had progressed from
TINT day, In january, 1861, until the whole
land was covered with armed men, until
the whole heavens were filed with black,
ness, until the habitations Of the land were
filled with dead, and it became necessary,
;,, nn,,,trufa AnFaplnV
might be furnished tho means of shelter
and transportation and dcfensc, to make a
forced loan, tho came gentleman (Mr. Pen.
dleton) arose in his place and declared that
it was unconstitutional to emit bills OF
credit for the redemption of which stood
/ pledged by act of Congress the uuoounted
States. Strange to say, when it suits his
purpose, the same gentleman without any
change of that instrument, has the audacity
to day to go before the people aad pro
claim his readiness, provided his party be
intrusted with the power, to violate the
Constitution in that hehalf to the extent OF
of credit rodeemable never, and thereby
repudiate the obligations of the country,
thus incurred of necessity and in defense
of the nations life.
1t becomes such gentlemen to talk about
the Constitution, and to denUunce as nn'
constitutional the bill now under consider
alton, and by which it is intended to aid
the people speedily TO restore the shat
tered fabric of civil government in the in
surrectionary States. 4
This brings me to the consideration ol
the first section of the bill, which venture
to say is as clearly constitutional as any
act ever passed by the Congress of thu
United States. Trusting, as do, that il
some form and in substance that section
will pass into law, am OF tho opinion
that it will be adjudged constitutional b.
every Judge upon your Supreme Bench.

FORBIDDEN FRUIT.


Forbidden now--and yet from chldhood's DAYS,
decreasing with each year, our love had grown;
II seems but yesterday those downcast eyes
Were wont with looks of love to meet mine own.
| left her in a quiet country home,
Free from the ,taint of fashionable life
A gentle, truthful, smple-hearted girl,
Fair promise of loving, faithful wife.
A soldiers duty called me to the field
For three long years war kept me from her side;
But ere we parted, clinging to my heart,
She told her love and vowed to be my bride.
Through all the hardships of long campaign
| cherished as my life that parting VOW +;
little thought that, when we met again,
My love would greet me as she greets mo now
Alas / find that beauty such as hers
Ambitious parents knew could well be sold
What was our love to them? An honest heart
Weighed mere triae when compared with
gold.
She yielded to her mothers harsh command
Those charms have found the noble price they
sought;
An aged lord with title deeds and wealth
Her beauty-not her loving heart has bought
In vain she coldly tries to shun my gaze;
/ know she loves me still, although we part
Poor girl a coronet will scarce repay
The lifelong sorrow Of a broken heart.
Alas the world of fashion oft can tell
Of perjured vows ami honest love denied,
OF youth and beauty tied to feeble age,
10 crafty parents selfish pride.

Surgery with nitrous oxide Gas

On the 22d Of December, DR.. j. Marion
Sims performed q surgical operation OF I'M
usual interest, in which he made use of the
new aniesthetiC ugent, nj trous oxide gas.
The operation consi listed in tho removal oil
the entire breast for cancer. The patient
was lady about sixty years of age, rather
stout and slightly of the lymphatic tempera'
ment In about two minutes from the
time she commenced breathing the gas
she was in profund anaesthetic sleep.
She was kept insensible for sixteen con-
secutive minutes, ill the operation was
completed and the dressing nearly com.
pcted. In less than one minute from the
time sho ceased to breathe the gas she
returned TO per feet consciousness, having,
as she stated, experienced no pain from the
operation. There was no nausea, sickness,
or vomiting, as iB often the case in tho use
of chloroform.
There was one remarkable feature con-
nectcd with the use of the gas. After the
patient was FIRST made insensble, she was
allowed to breathe some air with the gas,
and was thus returned to semi-cOnscious-
ness, and continued in this condition during
the entire operation. She declared after
the operation, that while inhaling the gas
she could see Dr. Cotton aud DIR. Evans

DR.. Pope, of St. Louis DR.. Stearns, OF Bos,
ton, u. s. and some others Of no7e, all Of
whom united with DR.. Sims in expressions
of surprise and delight at tho operations OF
this new anwsthetic agent. This was,
perhaps, one of the operations where the
patient was kept insensible for the great
ost length of time with the gas, and 1t has
certainly proved eminently successful.
The above experiment goes far to estab'
lish the fact that the nitrous oxide gas,
which DR.. Evans and Dr.. Cplton have done
80 much to develop is harmless in its OPP
Grafton and while it destroys pain dHocs
lie patient to remain an a semi CONSCIOUS
state, with but a slight disturbance OF the
natural aud normal vital forces. This is a
great point gained over any an@sthetio
now in nae. DR.. Sims said he had another
patient for whom no wished to perform an
operation, who was exceedingly weak and
nervous, and suffering from organic entdrg
,nent and aalouldy disease of the heart, anC
who could not take choroform or ether
He wished to try The nitrous oxide. Al
experimental trial was made with the gas
on Saturday, the 2Sth day OF December, a
which the patient was kept insensible to

the true heirs. They contend that the re-.

A plague upon the people fell,
A famine after laid them low,.
Then Thorpe and byTe arose In fire,
For on them break the sudden foe; sd.
SO thick they died the people cried
f"T The gods are moved against the land"
The priest in horror about his altar
To Thor and 0dih lifted n hand.
Help us from famine

Were it our dearest,

'. We give you his llie."
But still the foeman spoird aud bntn'd,
And cattle died, and deer in woody
Aud bird in air, and fishes trn'd
And whitend all the rolling Hood;
And dead men lay all over the way,
Or down in a furrow scathed with flame:
And ever and aye the Priesthood moand
Till at last il seemed that an answer came
"The King is happy
In child and wife;
Take you his nearest,
Take you his dearest,
Give us life."
III.
The Priest went out BY heath and hill,
The King was hunting in the Wild;
They found the mother sitting still
She cast her arms about the child.
The child was only eight summers old,
His beauty still with his years increased,
His face was ruddy, his hair was gold,
he seem'd victim due ~ the Priest.
'.L The Priest exulted,
And cried with joy,
''4' '" Here is his nearest, ....-
..f Here is his dearest, ..
We take the boy" -.
The Kirg returned from out the wild,
He bore but little game in hand .b' "a.
The mother said "They have taken the child
To spin his blond and heal the land:
The land is sick, the people diseased,
And blight and famine on all the lea
The holy Gods, they must be appeased, ,.s

The King was shaken with holy fear; .
