A Progressive and live Newspaper

In presenting the prospectus of The Boston
Journal for 1869, the proprietor feels assured that
the pledges made last year have been more than
redeemed, and that at the close of year of eX-
element, which has demanded the most lavish
0ntlay of capital to meet the expectations of the
reading public, there are none who have failed to
find in the columns of the JOURNAL the freshest
and most reliable intelligence from all the lead

Then t is that constitutional maladies make
their appearance, if any be lurking about the

at this important period, maintaining the vigor
and tranquility of early life and carrying them

Quo WARRANTo-ITs NATURE AND

Quo WARRANTO-ITS NATURE AND
EFFECTs. information in the
nature of a quo ,o1rrdnto having been
filed by Gen. Thomas, Secretary Of
War ad interim, against Mr.. Stanton,
who holds possession of the property,
books and papers of that Office, and
claims the right to exercise Tho duties
incident thereto, the latter will be
required to show to the satisfaction
of the court issuing. the writ that he
has the legal right to the perquisites,
franchises and property of the War
Office. The ancient writ of quo acdr-
ranto, whence the information Of the
present day derives its origin, was in
the nature of writ of right for the
King against persons who claimed or
usurped any Office, franchise or pri-
vilege belonging to the Grown. The
Judgment on this writ was that the
franchise capitur in manuna domini
regis.
In this country, it has been held
by the highest judicial tribune known
to the laws that an information for a
quo pa,ranto to try the title to an
Office cannot be maiptained but at
the instance of the Government.
This decision was made by Chief
Justice Marshall, in the case of Wal
lace us. Anderson, which went up to
the Supreme Court from the United
States Circuit Court for Ohio, and
has been regarded as settling the
practice in the United States.
Thus, while Gen. Thomas is the
ostensible party in the proceeding
commenced against Mr.. Stanton. the
real party is the Government of the
United States, represented by its
official head and Chief Executive.
The quo ararrduto being in the nature
of wait of right, the defendant can
not plead any plea, except to justify
Or disclaim. Mr.. Stanton cannot
avail himself of the latter plea, and
hence his defence will be narrowed
down to the single issue of his legal
right to hold the Office he now with
holds from Gen. Thomas.

The DANGERS OF BENzINE.-Our
lady readers should be informed t. hat
the liquid called benzine, which they
use so freely for removing grease
spots and stains from clothing, is q
very dangerous article. 1t is one of
the substances distilled from petro-
leum, aud is highly volatile, inflam-
mable, and, when the vapor is mixed
with air, explosive. We have fire.
quently been much alarmed, upon
visiting neighbors and friends in the
evening, to observe a vial of this
fluid standing in close proximity
with lamp or gas flame, and the
odor pervading the room. A very
small quantity is capable of doing
irreparable mischief. The contents
of four-ounce vial, if overturned
and vaporized, would render the air
of n moderate sized room explosive,
or, if ignited, whole family might
be seriously burned or lose their
lives from it. 1t should never be
used in the vicinity of flame; and it
is important to remember that
through the medium of the escaping
vapor, when the vial is uncorked,
flame will leap to it through space
of several feet. Benzine is often sold
under various fanciful bnames, and,
therefore, any article procured from
druggists for removing oil or grease
from fabrics should be handled with
the utmost care.

The New Orleans Picayune is re-
joicing over the failure of all the
attempts made by the Southern peo-
pie to establish colonies in Honduras
or other foreign countries. News has
been received of the entire failure of
an attempt of this kind made at
Tuxpan, where q large number of
Southerners tried to establish them
selves after the overthrow of the
Confederacy; they are in great dis
&ress and would be very glad to re-
turn. The Picaynne says the South
ern people will very soon learn that
their own country, after all, is the
best in the world, and if they will
stay in it and devote themselves to
its interests, they can remedy what
ever evils at present affiict it. This
is sensible advice, and we have no
doubt will be generally followed by
the Southern people.

The DAY WHICH SELDOM COMES. -

The DAY WHICH SELDOM COMES. =
Saturday comes as often as any other
day, but the Goth of February don't.
A man born to-day, or on any other
Goth of February, can afford to have
birthday dinners just four times MS
good rs he could if he were born on
any other day Of the year, for the
very simple reason that he has only
one-fourth as many birthdays to
celebrate. A certain gentleman very
we'll known in this city was born on
the Goth of February, 1882, and he
has q son who was born on the Goth
of February, 1864. To-day is his
eighth birthday and his sons first.
Unfortunately for his friends, he is q
Catholic, and the great day falls not
only in Lent, but on n special fast
day.-CharleslOn Mercury, 29M.

tricts. The dividing line is to com
mence "where the White Water
enters this State ut the North Caro-
lima line, thence down the centre of
that river, by whatever names known,
to Raveneps Bridge, on Seneca
River, thence in the centre of the
road leading to Pendleton village, to
the Anderson line" East of this
line is to be known as Pickens Dis
trict; West of this line as Oconee.
Five prominent citizens of Pickcns
District are appointed commissioners
to fix the site of the court house for
Pickens, and so of Oconee. The
court house of Oconee is directed to
be ut Walhalla, or at some point on

that place and Perryville.

The new Constitution of Louisiana

The new Constitution of Louisiana
provides for the education of all
children in public schools, without
distinction of race or color; but it
adds, that "no separate schools shall
be established for any separate race. I"
In other words, neither whites nor
blacks shall be permitted to provide
separate schools for their children, no
matter how much both may desire it!
Where is the necessity for such q
prohibition as this? And where is
the common sense in making it? Why
should the two races be thus forced
together, even against the will of
both?-Neao York Tribune.

How FASHIONS ARE INTRODUCED

hoW CAShlOcSS AXE lNThODUCED.
Any one who studied the milliner's
shops in Paris, during the past few
months, when the Parisians them
selves were absent from the capital,
could not help observing how boldly
all the fashions of the past spring
were optruded on the public gaze.
Foreigners and provincials, struck
with these excesses the Partisan mo-
diste perpetrsted, while endeayoring
to hit upon some happy invention
that should take the citadel Of fashion
by storm, and which the leaders of
ton, to whom they had been sub
mitted, had refused to countenance,
secured them as though they were
the choice novelties of the season.
Hence, many foreign dame, and
many an English one, ambitious of
following closely in the steps of fa-
shion, will have reason to regret her
Paris purchases during the present
autumn. Par parenthesis, one may
here remark that it is not the grnndes
danes, or leaders of fashion, as they
are styled, who really introduce the
>hanges in the mode when these are
Particularly abrupt or striking. This
is left to the actresses at the more
fashionable theatres-whose toilettes
in modern comedies out-stripped in
a marked degree those of the grand
personages they are supposed to rep
resent-to certain classes of women
who are allowed large discounts on
their purchases, in consideration of
their being the means of introducing
particular novelties. with the view of
rendering the public familiar with
them, and drawing on the more luke
warm and timid of their sex to fol-
low their example they set. Indeed,
it is matter of notoriety that many of
the large Partisan houses not only
provide ladies of graceful figure and
elegant bearing, with toilettes with
which to exhibit themselves at the
afternoon promenade, between the
lakes in the Bois de Boulogne, dur
ing the Paris season, and thereby ad-
vertise the particular robe or mantle
which it is desired to introduce, but
pay fixed daily sum for thus dis
playing themselves. A single robe
or single mantle of some precise
form and shade of color would, un-
less very striking, fail in attracting
any particular attention; several ex-
amples. therefore, have to be ex-
hibited ut the same time, and the
display goes on day after day, until a
hit is made or failure becomes evil
dent. .-TnSley's Magazine.
