Do Nor SWALLOW GRAPE SEEDS
Grape seeds, cherry pits and the like,
are insoluble in any and all the juices
used in the process of digestion they
must therefore pass from the body
in the same state in which they are
swallowed In their passage along
the aiimentary canal they cannot
but induce more or less irritation,
and if the digestive organs are at all
week, they must of necessity cause
great disturbance; being hard almost
like stones, they scrape along over
the delicate mucous membrane which
lines the stomach and bowels and
frequently hodges in the coils of the
intestines, or become imbedded in
the delicate lining and cause ulcera-
tions and tumefactions Of the bowels,
which may result in death.

A DEsoRIpTIoN.-The preacher at
the African Methodist Episcopal
Church at frankfort, recently, was
telling his congregation about Mos
es crossing the Red Sea; and to
make his description quite plain,
it as follows:--

LIBERAL EpIsCoPAcY.-Steps are
being taken to secure thorough
organization of the liberal portion Of
the Episcopal Church. The design
Of the movement is to secure: First,
Unrestrained liberty to preach the
gospel wherever Providence opens
the door. Second, to hold full and
reciprocal fellowship on terms of equ-
ality with all "who love our Lord
Jesus Christ" Third, The liberty
to omit, in the sacramentaI services,
certain phrases that may be inter-
preted to favor the dogmas of"priest-
iy sacrifice, baptismal regeneration,
and the real presence"
SEAsoNABLE Hints IF TRUE.-The
oil of pennyroyal will keep mosqui-
toes out of a room, scattered about,
even in small quantities. Reaches
are extirminated by scattering
handful of cucumber pariugs about
the house. No fly will alight upon

A NEW ASPECT OF THE CASE.

Some of the friends OF Mr.. johnson are rails
ing the point that the action of the House of
Representatives In respect to Impeachment
will not legally apply to him, but will defeat
ITSELF in that the resolution passed by the House
impeaches Andrew johnson, President of the
United States: whereas, constitutionally and
legally. Mr.. johnson is Vice President of the
United States, discharging the powers and
dnties OF the President in consequence of
the death OF that officer. They argue that
the Constitution does not say, in case OF
the death. resignation, inability of the
President, that the Vice President shall be
President but its language is:-"ln case of
the removal of the President from Office or of
his death, resignation, or inability to discharge
the powers and duties OF the said Office, the
same shall devolve on the Vice President" The
entry upon the discharge of the duties OF the
President by Mr.. johnson rendered it necessa-
Ty that the duties OF the Vice President should
be discharged by some other person, and ac.
cordingly the Senate chose a President pro TEN :
iOre, not Vice President, TO preside over its
deliberations. They hold in this case that Mr..
Wade is not Vice Pres ident, but a Senator from
Ohio, otherwise there would be vacancy in
the representation of that State.
