THE Discovered PORTION OF THE Dis
TRIcT.-In the Senate yesterday Mr.. Sum-
ner presented the following; which was re-
fsrred to the Judiciary Committee
To The Honorable Senate Of Rs United
Stdgs; The Undersigned, a citizen Of Yer
mont and holder Of real estate In the city
of Alexandria, Va, respectfully represent
70 the honorable Senate OF the United states.
l. That that portion of the District of
Columbia lying south Of the Potomac river.
In which Alexandria is situated, was by an
act OF Congress, In 1916, transferred to the
State Of Virginia.
o. That that act is manlfestly unconstltu-
tionAl.
3. That there are but two ways In which
the rights and interests of individuals can
be protected against the injurious operations
Of unconstitutional law, one of which Is the
repeal OF said law, aud the other an appeal
for justice to the courts Of law.
4. That the obtaining of justice by indi-
yiduals from the courts OF law Is costly,
difficult and uncertain, and must necessarily
be so when the constitution is violated by
the legislative department Of the Govern.
ment.
8. That the House of Representatives
passed a bill In 1867 for repeating said law
OF 1916, and restoring the aforesaid portion
Of the District OF Columbia to the possession
Of the United States.
In consideration whereof your petitioner
humbly prays your honorable body to con-
urn the said action of the House Of Repre-
sSsnNatlvss Of 1867, restore the District Of
.nolamsla to it's constitutional Integrity, and

charades and ta6leaur ciyans we shall, as tits,
have ladies illustrating Eve Chased from Para
disc, clothed in nothing but original sin !;
'Susannah Before the Elders in nothing but
the blush of innocence; Venus Coming Out
of the Waves, with nothing but cross on her
neck, which, however tasteful, really is too
simple" Our correspondent, however, in
previous letters has noted encouraging indica-
tions that the present excessive simplicity
of Partisan fashions Is an evil so great that il
will soon prove its own cure. 1t must be fol-
lowed by reaction in favor Of greater
modesty, if not less expensiveness, in femi-
nine attire

A LITTLE FOR LovR.-The ys.eiM Messe,,-
ger is much chagrined at the public exhibition
made lately in Chicago Of the ceremonies at
tending the conversion Of Christian maiden to
the Jewish faith, and her marriage the same
day in the same synagogue. 1t ungallantly
remarks:-"Our space forbids us from en-
larging on the subject Of conversion generally,
or we would place on record the facts Of our
experience, that where one is converted for
the sake Of religion at least one hundred are
made Jews for some marriage speculation. "
Do allow a little, only little, for love; for
young Israel is composed Of such handsome
fellows that 1t is no wonder Christian maidens
become smitten with them. Better dinner Of
p9rk and beans where love is than stalled
OK and hatred Herewith.
