A WAR "REMINISCENCES. An exchange
describes the course pursued by at least
one chaplain Of the United States Army
during the late war. Growing tired ol
reading the Bible to the troops, he invited
the ladies to attend one Sunday morning.
We copy the result as follows:
Fiske had read with considerable gusto,
amid deathlike Stiffness, the account Of
the contest Of Samson with the Philistinss,
and the report Of the victory.
Scarce had he concluded when private
stepped from the ranks, saluted bis chaiain,
and said, I'D like to see that book, SIR
The chaplain handed it to him, and
amid an unbroken quiet be read 1.-The pas.
sage slowly to himself shut up the book
and handed it back. a.s
"What did you do that for I" said the
chaplain.
aOh, only out Of curiosity" was the re
ply.
~ No sir, tell me what was your motive

that passage TO yourself!"

THE ALABAMA CONSTITUTION De-
FEATED.-There is no longer doubt
about the defeat of the Constitution.
1t is defeated.
Whatever measure the mongrel
leaders may next adopt to crush us in
to submission to theirtyrannical edicts,
this much is proved, the black cudgel
with which they expected to beat our
brains out has not only proved unavail-
ing, but it has rebounded and failed
upon their own heads. Whatever boz
gus laws may be passed in future, let
the white people bear this In mind
that while they remain true to them
selves they can rule the country that
they inherited from their fathers.
Having a monopoly Of the brains, pro-
perty, and education, they cannot be
rooted out by legislation. Fire and
sword alone can drive us out-the plan
of playing the negro against us having
failed-and fire and sword can never
be mustered a second time.
Our enemies dare not smoke us and
burn us out as Russia did Poland !;
and having failed to smother us out
with the negro they leave us as Austria
left Hungary-yery much to ourselves.
We shall probably hear a great roaring
over the defeat Of the negro constitu-
tion, but it will all be brutam Julmen.
The party that in future wishes to
rule these Southern provinces will find
it necessary to ask the cooperation Of
it's white population.-tMobile Tri-

SUMNER, FoRNEY, AND A NEGRO
Mr.. Sumner has got himself into grief.
1t was an understanding among sena-
tors when Forney was elected Secreta-
ry that they should not only as body
influence appointments under him, but
they should be made after the manner
of cadets at West Point. It seems,
upon the death of Mr.. Noah Smith, the
Journal Clerk, it happened to be the
turn of Mr.. Sumner to dictate his sue
cessor. This fact was spread far and
wide, and several of the Senator's
/" colored brethren y were applicants.
/ hear that he had promised the place
to one of those as "black as the ace OF
spades.n Hero was a dilemma. The,
subordinates in the Senate rebelled.
Certain senators became pale with
alright and spoke ofprndence and all
that-and finally the Senator was with
prevailed upon to abandon,

TT At last accounts the crushing re-

~ At last accounts the crushing re-
ioinder of Mr.. johnson to Gen. Grants
letter was having a telling effect among
people of all political parties. The
President, thinking it productive of lit
tie interest to be bandying the lie
with the general of his army, resorts to
d the plan of proving the lie upon him by
the testimony of competent witnesses.
All those who knew anything of the
transactions between the two persons
on the Stanton question agree that the
Presidents version is substantially cor
rect. This convicts Gen. Grant before
the American people of downright
falsehood. 1t is stated that his friends
are very much chagrined at his con-
duct, and that his chances for the NOM
ination have considerably diminished.
We do not see, however, why they
should be less brilliant than before
these developments. Gen. Grant in an
excellent exponent of the faithlessness
and unsincerity of his party. He is
entitled to the nomination and shonld
by all means have it. 1t is one emin-
emily eft to be made. q : 4h s.

In reply to question by your CORES.
pOndent as to what course he would
take in case the Senate refused to taxa
any action on the nomination made II
place Of Mr.. Rollins, and laid it on the
table, the President said he should pro.
badly then be compelled to make d.
rect removal Of Rollins, although this
would be in contravention of the ten.
nre of Office law, and would no donbt
cause a new agitation of the impeach,
ment question.
He said the time had arrived when he
was either compelled to ignore the Con.
stitution itself or an act of Congress
clearly unconstitutional, and it was not
his purpose to hesitate, although i'm.
he threatened aslling-

l~ The British Medical journal
contains an account Of some curious
experiments: a,j.isis.1 y an
Dr.. Short, of Madras, has for some
time been employed in aseries Of valu-
able experiments on the value of aller-
ed fantidotes to poisonous snake bites.
He offered publicly apurse Of 500 ru-
PEGS to any person for an antidote to
the cobra poison. The first applicants
medicine was almost entirely compos-
ed of tobacco, made into boluscs Of
about the size of a hens egg with rice
congee. It failed. A native clergy
man tried bis hand with a few pepper
grains and blades of grass; but q dog
bitten by a cobra to whom it was ad-
ministered died in twenty minutes.
In the third experiment, a native clerk
came forward with block of snake
wood, from which, by rubbing on a
stone with water, he got a paste, which
he administered freely, but quite inef-
fectually. Extracts, carefully prepar-
ed, Of the Aristolochia Indica. were
equally Intellectual. The time in which
the dogs were killed depended chiefly
upon their size and yigol /; and the CO.
bras resecreted their poison in from
twelve to twenty hours.
