Robert J. Walker on the Law.

We print below, and desire to call to
the especial attention of The World and
The Times an extract from an opinion of
the Hon Robert j. Walker upon the
Presidents right to decide upon the con-
stitutionality of laws passed by Congress.
Mr.. Walker is Democrat, and stands
high in the confidence o. the President.
He is learned in the law, and this is the
way in which he disposes of the sophis
try of The Times:
Il called" says Mr.. Walker, "upon
Gen. Thomas early on Saturday morning,
at the War Office, and communicated to
him in friendly way my opinion that
any such order would be nullity, and
would, subject him to serious cousequen-
ces, especially if any such collision should
occur. L told him that he had no right,
nor had the President, to diso6cy ld'o
Of Congress upon the assumption that At
,cds unconStitmi ional, and tkat If 1t tcere
not so the President might set aside all
the la,os Of Congress since the foundation
Of the Government upon the ground that
they were unconstitutional. That the
President possessed no such power, be-
cause it was not an executive, but er-
clusively a judicial po'cer, aud that all
the la,cs of Congress mast be o6cyed ana
erccufed by the President unless their
execution was restrained by the highest
judicial authority. That to declare a ld'c
uuconstitut ionaL was not only the exer
else of judicial power, but the highest ja-
diciatpoa0er, and only to be resorted to BY
the courts where, in their judgement, the
act was clearly unconstitutional and that II
all doubtful cases the court had uniform
ly refused to interfere with the execution
Of the law"

Advice to Young Mechanics.

In referring to the growing inclination
on the part of young men, they have serv-
ed long and hard apprenticeships to ac-
quire a good trade, to abandon that mode
making living and to enter the legal or
medical profession, where it is supposed
greater emolument can be secured and
larger honors won, cotemporary well
observes that nineteen cases out of twenty
such ventures are failures, for two rea-
sons. First, the profession require pecu-
liar talent and the most thorough educa-
ton. As "a rule, apprentices to the trades
have neither the time nor the means to
acquire this education. Hence, when a
mechanic at the end of his apprenticeship
aspires to and enters any one of the pro-
fessions he does so at great disadvan-
tage. He may be fluent speaker, know
how to argue a point in debating society
or harangue crowd at ward meeting
but such talents do not fit him for the le
gal profession. He may know how to ex
tract splinter from his own hand, how
to make a salve, how to mix powder or
administer pill but all this, while it
might qualify him as good nurse, does
not fit him for the medical profession.-
The fact is, the young men who abandon
their trades are tempted to do so by false
pride, enormously imagining there is no
homer to be scored In pursuit of the
mechanical arts. History provesithe fall
lacy of such suppositions.
The brightest names which now adorn
the annals Of all countries are of the best
mechanics who have blessed mankind
with the productions Of their genius
All that is beautiful or grand is the re-
suit of improvement in mechanics. The
pendulum, the mainspring,the barometer,
thermometer, printing press, steam-engine,
locomotive, sewing machine, telescope
all, all are the result Of mechanics arts,
making those famous who produced them,
and the people great who adopted them.
A good mechanic who becomes pet
tifogger or quack, merely because he Is
too proud to work at his trade, is indeed
a pitiful object. A man of the right
mental balance, who has proper mental
form, with the necessary independence,
will win as much honor and as fair liv-
ing in the trades as in the professions /;
indeed, an Indifferent lawyer or doctor,
lacking briefs or patients, is always mis-
cradle being, a bad example to the COM
munity. Let our yonng mechanics, then,
become ambitious in their own peculiar
vocations. If they dignity their trades
by becoming proficient therein, the trades
will dignity them with the highest hon
ors. If Mechanics pursue their business
with purposs to self-improvement there
in, and not merely to hammer and file and
saw, but to improve the art, to devslope
something new therein, the mind will be-
come muscular, and the heart of the me-
chanc will be made with as true pride
as ever glowed beneath the doublet of a
prince. Will the young mechanic think
of these truths

Oaks Planted by Squirrels.

1t is a curious circumstance, and not
generally known, that many of the oaks
which are called spontaneous, are planted
by the squirrels. The little animal has
performed the most essential service to
the British Navy. A gentleman walking
one day in a wood belonging to the Duke
of Beauford had his attention diverted by
a squirrel, which sat very compossedly
on the ground. He stopped to observe
his motions in few moments the squir-
rel darted like lightning to the top of the
tree beneath which he had been sitting,
and In an inssant he was down with an
acorn in his mouth, and began to burrow
in the earth with his paws.
After digging hole, he stopped down
and deposited the acorn then covering
it, he darted up the tree again. In mo-
ment he was down with another, which
he buried in the same manner-This he
continued repeatedly.
The industry of this little animal is dis
rected to the purpose OF securing himself
against want in winter, and, as it is pro-
bable that his memory Is not sufficiently
rctentive to enable him to remember the
spot in which he deposited every acorn,
the industrious little fellow, no doubt,
losses few every year. A few spring
up and are destined to supply the place
of the parent tree. Thus is Great Bri
tain, in some measure, indebted for her
mercantile greatness 20 the industry and
bad memory of the squirrel.

Paw OF Legislatures

Resolutions have been introduced in
the Pennsylvania Legislature proposing
amendments to the State Constitution in
reference to the pay of members, and the
right ofsufrage. As to the former subject,
it is proposed that members of the SEN
ate and House shall in no case receive
more than one thousand dollars year
during their respective terms of Office, to-
gether with fifteen cents mile. in going
to and from each regular and extra ses-
sion. Last year, Pennsylvania paid s17.25
per diem for 58 days active work, and the
object of the present movement is to re-
duce the pay which, in case of protracted
sessions would amount at last igear's rate
to an extravagant total. In supporting
the proposed amendment, Mr.. Hickman
presented the following statement, show
ing the pay of members of the Pennsyl-
vania Legislature as compared with thas
of members of other States:

"Phillipsburg Affairs"

The Easton Erpress has correspond
cnt at Phillipsburg who furnishes daily
news from that enterprising town. We
extract from his last installment the fol-
lowing:
MATRIMONIAL MARKET.-This mar
ket has been unusually dull of late. Ad-
vances have not been made, consequently
there has been no declining. A few
bachelors changed their lodings, upon
learning that young and charming
widow had taken up her abode next
door with the determination to take ad-
vantage of Leap Year privileges. A SEN
timental but nervous young man had two
ladies taken before the squire for throw,
ing kisses at him. The squire ordered
him to return them, and bound the young
ladies' over to keep the peace.

Necessary Rules of Sleep.

DR.. Winslow wisely says there IS no
fact moro clearly established in the phys
ology of man than this, that the. brain
ezpends its energies and itself during the
hours of wakefulness, and that these are
recuperatcd during sleep. If the recup-
Grafton dccs net equal the expenditure
the brain 1ithers = this IS insonity.
THIS it is that Ia early English history,
persons Tho were condemned to death by
being prevented from sleeping, always
died ravirg naniacs; thas it IS also that
these who are starved to death become
insane - the brain Is net nourished, and
they cannot sleep. The practical infe-
rences are three: - lst, Those who think
most, Iho do most brain work, require
NEST sleep. 2nd That saved from
the necessary sleep is infallibly destruc-
tive to mind, body, and estate. Give
yourself, your children, your servants -
give all that are under you, the fullest
amount of sleep they will take, by COM
pelling them to go to bed at some regular
hour, and TO rise in the morning the mo-
ment they awake; and within fortnight,
Nature, with almost the regularity of the
rising sun, will unloose the bonds of
sleep the moment enough repose has
been secured for the wants of the system.
This is the only safe and sufficient rule ;,
aud as to the question how much sleep
any one requires, each must be a rule for
himself = great Nature will never fail to
write it out to the observer under the
regulations Just given.
