The Augusta Journal says the JUICES of the
Supreme Court were in consultation on Fri
day and Saturday on the Legal Tender CASE
The discussion of the Judges was quite extend
ell, but no decision has been reached. The
consultation has developed the fact, however,
that there will be two opinions prepared, but
at this time it is unknown upon which side
the majority opinion will be made. Future
conference will decide this and who shall be se-
lected to prepare the opinions.

THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE CRYPT -
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune tells story in relation to the
legislative appropriation bill that is severe
trial to the credulity Of the public. 1t is at
any rate az admirable illustration of the man
ner in which money is sometimes approprla-
ted:
When this bill was under consideration by
the committee on appropriations, General
Butler discovered an item providing so much
per annum for the superintendent of the crypt .
Not understanding what this meant, he sought
knowledge from his fellow emb bers but they
were no wiser than he. He then coUsults the
appropriation bills for fifty years back and
found the same thing charged in each BILL
After determined search among the employees
OF the capitol the superintendent of the crypt
was found. He was brought forward and
made TO relate his history. 1t seems shortly
after General Washington died. an act was
passed by Congress providing for the build.
ing ofa vault beneath the capitol which was
to hold the remains of the immortal states
men and warrior, and to be called the crypt.
1t was found necessary to have a man 10 watch
the sacred spot, and accordingly an officer was
created TO be called superintendent of the
crypt. The duties of the superinteI dent
We're to sit near the crypt daily, from A. H.
until 3 P. M, and see that only one gas burner
was used. This the present occupant has
done for the last forty years, and now
General Butler cruelty proposes to abolish
the office.

The Pasha of Cyprus, at the head
Of his forces, has gained a glorious
victory over the great enemies of the
isle, the locusts, which for many
years have destroyed its prosperity.
In vain Pasha after Pasha took the
field against them. Now, it is affirmed.
there are no locusts In the island.
The Pasha carried on a campaign
with 1000 men for thirty days, head
ing them himself, keeping his saddle
for twelve hours at a time, and camp
ing out at night. The insects were
caught IN kind of cloth or net; and
he devoted to their destruction the
available balance in his treasury. He
paid a shilling for two and half
pounds of winged locusts and at this
rate got together about four tons, which
were duly weighed under the di-
rection of himself and the Council of
State and then consi ned to burial in
the earth On the return of said
Pasha TO the city of Nekosia, he was
received by the heads of the commu-
nrties, muftis. bishops, rabbis, and
clergy, and by the corporations, and
escorted into the CITY.

A celebrated Partisan belle, who
had acquired the habit of whitewash
ing herself-sO to speak-from the
soles Of her feet to the roots Of her
hair with chemically prepared COS
metics, one day took medical bath
and on emering from it was horrif fed
at finding herself black as an Ech
iopian. The information was com
plete. Not a vestige of the supreme
Caucasian race was left. Her ply
stefan was sent for in alarm and haste.
On his arrival he laughed immod
erately and said, Madam, you are no
longer q woman, but sulphuret 1t

shall analyze you. Come. / shall sub
NIT you to a bath of sulphuric acid
diluted with water. The acid will
have the honor of combining with
you; it will have the honor Of com
btning with you; will take up the sui
phur. the metal will produce a sui
plat, and we shall find as a pre-
cipitate pretty woman" The good
natured physician went through with
his analysis, aud the belle was restored
to her membership with the white
race. Young ladies who are ambitious
of having snowy complexion should
remember this and be careful what
powder and cosmetics they usc-il
they use any at all.

Our War Vessels. .

We have hitherto alluded to the
change In the names of our war vessels
We regard the following from the
Indianapolis Journal on the same sub
ject worth copying:
We have once or twice before allud-
ed to the change of the Indian names
ofour war vessels, to classical and
biblical names, made by Secretary
Borie before his unfortunately be-
lated resignation. 1t was the silliest
thing that a man of merely mortal
stupidity ever did, and has been con-
demned by every paper, and every
man of sense, all over the country. LII
it has found a single defender, we
have not heard Of it. Recently it has
been condemned, and a demand for
restoration Of the old names made, by
the Legislature of New Hampshire,
In a series Of resolutions, ssetting forth
the thunder first, and the reason for
the demand. that the blunder re-
moves cherished local associations
with the common glory of the navy
to which their sons, In all branches
Of the service. have contributed their
f1II share" The New Hampshire
Historical Society follows in the same
track with specifications of the chan
ges. which we copy for the purpose of
exciting the patriotic indignation of
every American at the whole job, and
of every HoOsier and Kentuckian
particularly at the moustrous charge
of Tippecanoe" to Vesuvius Elk
Secretary Borio had better never
come to Indiana ifhe wants to get
ILL., -
moderate personal comfort.
The recent attempt to charge the
designation. of these vessels to names
offoreign localities, as Tippecanoe to
Vesuyius, Nahant to Atlas; or the
change to names Of heather gods or
ROddesses, or fabulous sclassic heroes,
as Manhattan to Neptune. sSandusky
to Minerva, Shawnee to SEOlus, Nan
tucket to Medusa, Kickapoo TO Cy-
clops, and our famed Indian chief.
PassacOn-away, to Hercules: or the
change to Scriptural names, rs Chicka-
saw, with her illustriOus record, to
Samson. and Catskill to Goliath; or
of Casco to Hero, Yazoo to Tartar,
Agamenticus to TorIOr, SuDcook to
to Spitfre, Winnebago to Tornado,
and other like changes, tend to dis
S0clate Such Vessels from Lne glory
attached to many of them under their
former names, is i'll advised, and un'
American, and should meet the disap-
probation Of our citizens until such
action is reversed, and the former sys-
tenn Of nomenclature shall be re-
vived."
The Indian names were emphat
ically ours. No other nation could
have them The mere name
of the vessels at once told her ma
tinality. Now what docs "Vesuvius"
or "Eolus," or Minerva" tell OF ma
tionality2 Nothing. But from hence
forth they will proclaim the other
wise uuutterabIe folly of the now
happily retired Secretary BOrie.
