We were furnished a lantern for
our ascent through the dark passages.
The stairs are easy although narrow,
and we mounted with ease the 272 steps.
The floor which covers the arches is
composed of very large stones hewn in
to perfect symetry. The top affords a
secure and convenient place for observa-
ton, and from this point we enjoyed a
glorious view of Paris and its envirOns.
Looking from the arch to the south east,
the avenue leads through and along the
EIysian Fields, the Place dc Ia CoacOrdc
the Gardens and Palace of the Tuileries,
the CarrOusel and Palace of the Louvre
all of which are in one continuous line
of two or three miles. On our right
looking south, are the dome of the In
valides, the tomb of Napoleon, the ex-
tensive Champ dc Mars and the Ecole
NIiIitaire near that field. The triumph

the Cathedral of Notre Dame, and the

Effects Of Hashish, ,

I have often taken the drug, rather
for curiosity to discover what its at
fractions might be, than for aUght of
pleasurable excitement I ever expert
enced, The taste of the potion is exactly
what a mixture of milk, sugar, pounded
black pepper and a few spices would pro-
duce. The first result is a contraction Of
the nerves of the throat, which is any
thing but agreeable. Presently the brain
becomes affected; you feel an extraOrdi-
nary lightness Of head, as it were; your
sight settles upon one object, Obstinately
refusing to abandon it; your other senses
become unusually yacute-uncOmfOrtabl
sensible-and you feel a tingling which
shoots like an electric shot down your
limbs till it vOids itself through the eI-
tTemitieS. You may stand in the burn
ing sunshine without being conscious Of
heat, and every sharp pain is instantly
dulled. Your cautiOusneSs and your re-
Elective organs are painfully stimulated
you fear every thing and everybody ;e-
ven the man who shared the cup with
you, and the servant who prepared it;
you suspect treachery everywhere, and
in the simplest action detect objects the
most cOmpleXedly villainOUs. Your
| thoughts become wild and incOherent,
| your fancy runs frantic. If YOU happen
| to exceed little, the confusion of YOUR
ideas and the disorder of your imagina-
ton will become intense. I recOlIect
on one occasion being persuaded that
my leg was revolving upon its knee as
an axis, and could distinctly feel AZ
well as hear it strike against and pass
through the shoulder during each revOlu-
ton. Any one may make you suffer
agony by simply remarking that a par
ticular limb must be in great pain, and
catch at every hint thrown out to YOU,
nurse it and cherish it with a fixed and
morbid eageTnesS that savOrs strongly Of
insanity. This state is very dangerous
one, especially to a novice; madness and
catalepsy being by no means uncommon
Examinations to it. If an assembly are
under the influence of the drug, and a
single individual happen to cough or to
laugh, the rest, no matter how many,
are sure to follow his example. The
used rCstOratives are a wine-
glassful OfpuTe lemon juice, half dozen
eaten raw, and a few DufFs Of
the hOOkah; you may conceive the state
Of your unhappy stomach after the re-
ceptiOn of these remedies. Even with
out them you generally suffer from se-
we're Indigestion, for, during the intOx-
icatiOn, the natural hunger which the
hashish produces eXcites you to eat
supper sufficient for two days with Ordi-
nary circumstances,-Cd Captain Burton,

One Cent.

Suppose one of your ancestors, who
lived at the time of the Christian era.
would have bequeathed you one cent.
What would have been the amOut of the
one cent, at 6 per cent. compound inter-
est, in the year 1860? Let Us calculate.
Any principal at 6 per cent. compound
interest, will double itself in about y
years; hence, in y years, the one cent
would have amounted to two cents, in
twenty-fOUr years, to four cents, in
thirty-six years, to eight cents, in forty
eight years to sixteen cents, and OH,
doubling itself every twelve years; so
that, in the year 1860, the one cent
would have doubled itself one hundred
and fifty-five times, making the amount
426 tredecilIions of dollars, a number of
IS figures. Now, let us see whether we
can form a conception of so vast an
amount. Suppose the amount payable
in gold. A cubic foot of gold is worth
800, 900 dollars, and a cubic mile of gold
would be worth D quadrillions of dol
lars. If the earth was a mass of solid
gold it would be worth i, 800 septiIlions
of dollars. But it would require 80 qua
drilliOns of golden earths to pay the
amOut. The sun is about /, 1850, 900 times
as large as the earth, but it would take
p billions of golden globes as large as
the sun to meet the supposed claim.
Let us imagine a golden globe which
would represent the amount of the
cent.-the sOIidity ofsueh globe would
be 5000 septilliOns of cubic miles, and its
diameter would be 254O millions of
miles. Now, suppose the center ofsuch
globe be placed at the center of the
sun: it would extend 1910 millions Of
miles in every direction, taking in the
planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, e., and
leaving only the planets, Hersehel and
Neptune without its surface.

MALONEY's EXAMINATION before
Esq. Kennedy was had last Thursday.
The Notes are before us, but show
nothing of general interest beyond the
facts already published. Mr.. VIM.
Prinacky, an eyewitness of the as
sault, testified as follows:
"* Brown then came UP, and
talked with Keever, who was in the
stable. Brown went into the stable.
taiaRidt ID 70 nMiidfl Miflon8Br55 n8Br55wn IL" asked Keever
what was the matter about the cattle.
Malony said to Brown, I don't want
your cattle to bother me, you id
son of b-h.' Brown said Il will
60 and put my cattle up, and they
shall not bother anybody any more
Brown went out of the stable; and as
soon as he came out, Malony put his
hand on Browns right shoulder.
Brown pulled away and stopped down.
Malony stepped to the corn-crib, and
could. not get anything. He then
reached and took the neck-yoke, and
made two steps and struck Brown
with the neck-yoke. Brown fell in q
lump. and Keever went to Brown
and picked him up. Brown laid ten
minutes before he became conscious.
We then placed Brown in bed and
took him home, where he now lies in
helpless condition. As soon as Ma
lony struck Brown he dropped the
neck-yokc and jumped over the fence
and ran off as fast rs he could, stop
ping about 60 yards from the stable.
y When Brown stopped down,
nothing was to be seen on the ground,
as 1t was covered with snow. Brown
had not Strengthened up before Malony
struck him. If Brown had had any.
thing in his hand l would have seen
it,"
Upon looking over the remainder of
the testimony we discover nothing Of
Importance to change the above state
ment. The neek-yoke was exhibited
and identified, and pronounced a
deadly weapon.
| Drs. Duncan and Cornell testified AZ
to Browns condition. He was under
thea the !asIy.er4Ge lRanss lie received from
the neck-y yoke in the hands Of Malony
were necessarily fatal, and must be the
cause of his death. DR.. Cornell said:
81 do not think he can live to ex-
ceed three days, and have not tho
slightest hope of his recovery"
Malony was bound over to Court in
the sum Of SIS, 900, committed for lack
Of bail, and taken to Oskaloosa Jail on

Mr.. Grinnell was chosen President.
Mr.. Grinnell, on taking the Chair,
said he was not ashamed to be iden-
titled with the sO-called "rebels."
He was willing and ready to stand
by his neighbors and acquaintances
in this matter, and hoped this Con-
ventiOn would act wisely. He held
| that our Iowa State judiciary were
our masters-the Federal judiciary
have usurped power, and he was not
willing to bow TO them till he was
obliged to do SO. He was in favor of
paying all that was in equity demand
ed, and no more-and was particu-
larly in favor of maintaining our
State laws and State Courts.
The following Resolutions were
adopted by the Convention:
WHEREAS, The recent decisions of
the Federal Courts involving corpor-
alton railroad bonds in this State
seem to US subversive of the authOri-
ty and dignity of our State Courts,
and dangerous to the rights and
privileges of citizens of the States, il
not positive and unwarranted en-
croachments upon the jurisdiction OF
the State Courts; therefore,
Resotped, That we respectfully and
earnestly protest against the exercise
of such authority by the Federal
Courts, and hereby pledge our SYM
pathy and support to the State Courts
in the maintenance Of their rightful
authority.
Resolued, That this Convention
earnestly call upon the General AS
sembly of Iowa to take notice of the
late decision of the Federal Supreme
Court, and apply to Congress and the
other States to take the necessary
steps to protect our people against
similar enrOachmentson on their rights.

precious and valuable right, and
ought to be preserved unimpaired
and unrepealed.
ResoIved, That the property Of rail.
road corporations in this state should
be taxed as our Constitution pro.
vides, the same as other property;
and the General Assembly is earnest.

until all legal and practical remedies
are exhausted,

Posr MoRTEM.-Mr. Brown, who
was assaulted by Maloney, died at
about 4 p. M. last Sunday, from tho
effect Of injuries received in the as
sault. On Monday last, Drs. Cornell
and Duncan, accompanied by Drs.
Wetherell, Scoles and Wright, Of
Knoxville, visited Mr.. Browns resi-
dence and made post mortem exam
ination. The full details Of tho
minutie would not be of general
interest. They found the skull badly
fractured, the brain lacerated, and
some extravasation of blood. Mr..
Brown had lived twenty-five days
from the time Of the assault; and the
medical opinion expressed was that II
was wonderful that he had lived more
than four or five days at the utmost.
