An Election in Mississippi Ordered.

President Grant has issued procama-
ton ordering that the constitution framed
by the convention Of Mississippi in May,
1868, be submitted to vote Of the people
of that state on the 30th day of Novcm-
Der next. 1t is ordered that the clauses
of the constitution which require test
oath, forbid the loan Of the credit Of the
state to corporations, and disfranchise citi-
zcns for participation in the rebellion,
shall be submitted to a seperate vote.
! Thus, it will be seen that the President
is promptly and impartiaily submitting
to the southern states which are yet un-
represented the question as to whether
they Will resume their places in the Union
and what shall be the political status of
their citizens with regard to the rebellion.
There is now no longer any cause for
complaint; those states can come into
| Congress under a constitution Of their
| own choosing and without Gisiranchise-
ment or test oaths, if they see fit. Was
ever such lenity shown the conquered
participants in rebellion? No man has
forfeited his lite or liberty, and if a ma
iorty say so, no man forfeits his civil and
political rights.
As the Nirginiaas were SO pleased with
the course the President pursued towards
them, and as he has shown the same Eb
crafty toward the people of Mississippi, it
is to be hoped that they also will accept
the situation in like spirit, and that ere
the close of the year that state will also
be il the enjoyment Of government of
its own choosing = Wisconsin

Getting Sensible.

That steady-going Democratic journal
The New York Citizen, sees the Demo-
cratic Middle in its true light We
quote from leader in its last issue:
Old names and traditions may do some
thing towards keeping a political organi-
zation together, but will not altogether
meet the requirements Of these fast days.
We may hoorah for General Jackson
with the full vigor Of our lungs, but
that will not dispose of General Grant.
We may argue about sub treasures and
hard money, but the country is flooded
with greenbacks, and people have forgot
ten what gold and silver looked like,
and never expect to see either again.
We may recall our victories in the oden
tlme-how we We're always ready to fight
any other nation, with cause or without,
and how we were for annexing the world
and maintaining the integrity Of the
| Union in the face Of the universe In
arms; but we covered before cause
| less and senseless rebellion, and we are
| afraid to openly declare in favor Of recog-
nlzing the independence of Cuba. Like
| senlle old men, we can remember the
| days Of our youth-We can giorify our
! SIlNSS Oli llC ICsllS VIC OliNS iiSiACt hiSN'
| but our joints seem to have grown stiff,
our Intellect weak and our mucles sadly
attenuated.
What are Democratic principles to
day? Who knows? We wandered
| about in such hopeless blindness in the
| fog of secession that we seem to have be-
come utterly lost, and do not know with
er we are moving Most Of the princi-
piles we once held the Republicans seem
to have appropriated. 1t is a Republi-
can Senator that defes and threatens our
natural foe, the ''bloated Britisher, it Is
the Republican Press that favors the in
dependence and subsequent annexation
of Cuba, while the organ of our party
whimpers out that he Republicans are
standing OF our platform SO they are,
but where are we standing? What have
we to rest our weary feet upon? Are
we expected to step OF as soon as they
step on? Are we to add the cowardice
and faulty Of the future to the cowardice
and faulty OF the past? The peace men
tried to guide us during the late war.
Are we to have no botter leaders for the
next one if it comes.
We hear nothing as to what are Demo
cratic principles at present. Copper
headism was failure, and died the
death it so richly deserved the proposal
to pay our debt in greenbacks has been
repudiatcd by the nation the everlast-
ing colored gentleman has secured all
the rights he knows what to do with,
and few more the Women's Suffrage
movement has not the dignity of party
measure. Democracy is in state ofchaos
1t cannot undo the irreYocable ; it has
nothing to offer as an incentive to persist
ence. Cannot somebody find us a few
PRINCIPLES? We are opposed to high
taxes, and in favor of low taxes but the
nation must pay its debts, and must raise
the means necessary for this purpose.
We believe in economy, Ietrenchment
and reform" but so do many other peo-
pie, ond our example in this city is not
an encouraging one to follow. We must
find a principle Or two, or we shall never
get back into power. Who is prepared
to furnish the genuine article ?

ture.
The transformation of the amyglaceous

then into sugar, and finally into fat or
Tactic acid, commences in the mouth, and
although not suspended in the stomach
is by no means facilitated there, but very
much so. and completed soon after having
passed that viscus in the duodenum. The
originally oleaglnous materials however,
unlike all others, seem to undergo no
change except that Of minute division,
until coming in contact in the duodenun
with the pancreatic fluid with which it en-
tiers into chemical combination, forming
an opake, milky, saponaceous emulsion,
IN which condition only it is soluble, or
capable of being absorbed by the lacteals.
Other changes take place in the chyme
before leaving the duodenun, the most
important Of which is the precipitation
of the protein, (basis of the tissues,
from its acid solution by the hillary secre-
ton. This fact very clearly reveals the
secret Of the injurious effects of the pres
ence of bile in the stomach upon various
azotized principles, suspending their solu-
ton. Hence the Importance of attend
ing to biliousness in its incipiency as one
of the prime conditions of health, cannot

The solar Eclipse. which takes place
on the 18th Of August, viii be total over
belt of country about one hundred and
forty miles wide, stretching from the
coast of North Carolina, in a northwest
erly direction through that state, Ten
nessee, Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana,
Illinois, and Iowa The central line of
this belt passes through Springfield, Hi
nois. and Des Moines, Iowa, and SO on
northwest. To this state, except per-
haps in the extreme southern portion of
it, the eclipse will not be total, but suffi-
GENTLY near to it to make the phenome-
non one of great interest. It will be yisi-
bic in Milwaukee from four to five
o'clock in the afternoon, and will cover
eleven digits Of the suns surface. This
eclipse occurred on the 2Sth of July,
1851, and was visible as a total one in
the Arctic regions of America, Norway,
Sweden and Russia. Preparations are
making at the observatories in this coun-
try for taking extensive observations of
this remarkable phenomenon.

Further Revelations Of the Cerem0-
MES Of the Russian Sh0ptZki.

Some new revelations, says the Pail
Mall Gazette of June a, as to the cere-
monies OF the strange Russian sect of
the mutilated (Skoptz), Of which we
gave an account a short time ago, have
just been published in the Russian Con
temporary NctcS. These revelations are
stated to have been taken from manu-
script memoir, written by the late Mon
slgnor Plato, metropolitan Of Y oscGw, at
the request Of the Emperor Alexander
l., and they fully explain the nature Of
the two cOmmunions' Of the Skoptzi.
which has hitherto remained Il profound
secret The first communion, saws the
memoir, Is called that of the Flesh Of the
Lamb, and is administered at all the gen
eral meetings Of the Skop;zi; the second.
which Is only administered to the elect
on extraordinary occasions, is called that
OF the Blood Of the Lamb The women
OF the sect are bound under terrible
oaths to live a life Of chastity, but it
nevertheless often happens that they have
children, and this Is usually aScribed by
the SkoptZl, not to the women haying
broken their vows, but to divine inter
position. Tho child, if male, is ''sacri-
tced' on the seventh day after its birth.
A bandage IS tied over its eyes, its body
is stretched over dish, and silver
spear Is thrust into It's left side, 50 as to
pierce the heart, The ''elcct'' of the
SkoDtzl then advance in turn, and suck
the chiid's blood This is what is called
the communion Of the blood Of the
Lamb. As soon as the ceremony is
over, the body is put in another dish
full of sugar. where it is left until it
dries up ; 1t is then crushed into powder,
and administered III small cakes to the
ordinary members Of the sect as ''the
communion Of the flesh Of the Lamb"

Cultivate Energy.

Many Of the physical evils-the want
of vigor, the inaction of the system, Ian
gour. and hysterical affections-which are
so prevalent among the delicate young
women of the present day, may be traced
to want of we'll trained mental power,
and we'll exercised self-control, and to an
absence Of fixed habits of employment
Real cultivation of the intellect, earnest
exercise of the moral powers, the enlarge
ment of the mind, by the acquirmeent of
knowledge and the strengthening of its
capability for effort, she frmness for en-
durance of inevitable evils, and for ener-
gy in combating such as may be overcome,
are the ends which education has to at
tain; weakness, if met by indulgence, will
not only remain weakness, but become in
trinity. The power Of the mind over the
body is immense. Let that power be
called forth let it be trained and exercis-
ed, and vigor, both of mind aud body,
will be the result. Better, million times
better, to work hard even to the shorten
ing of existence, than to sleep and eat q
way this precious gift Of life, giving no
other cognizance of its possession. By
work of industry, of whatever kind it may
be, we give practical acknowledgment
of the value of life. of its high intentions,
or its manifold duties. Earnest, active
industry, is living hymn of praise. a
failing source Of happiness it is O.
bedience. for it is Gods great Law Of NOR
tai existence.

Clover and Timothy.

A. Hadley, in communication 70 the
northeastern Farmer, gives what he re-
CARDS three important reasons Why clover
Should always be grown with timothy -
First. the clover being tap-rooted pene-
trates deeply. stands drought, melloWs
the soil, and the timothy grows much
stronger and holds up the clover. Sec
ondly, if sown for pasturage, the timothy
almost universally prevents the clover
from swelling cattle. Thirdly, hay is too
binding. especially for cattle. and clover
wasby, (succulent), hence. both together
are better than either alone. To these,
the Country Gentleman adds, under the
head of the first, that where grass comes
in rotation, it is of the utmost impor-
tance on clay soil. that at least part of
this grass crop be clover. 1t will serve
to mellow and loosen the heavy soil in. =
remarkable degree. so that when turned
over with plow, it will not only be rich,
but loose and friable. II, on the other
hand, timothy alone is sown, (which some
do because the hay sells be.ter) the soil
will turn over heavy and clammy, and be
unfit for any. crop which is to follow. The
same correspondent says that he is partial
to rye for calf or sheep pasture, which be
occasionally sows in the summer Or au-
tumn, after crop Of corn; and then, Of
ter pastured it is turned under for spring
crop-corn, if the soil be strong enough
or it may be allowed to 60 to harvest.
