WE rejoice ia the Information, which
we hope IL true, that the Tennessee Leg
islature, which is to meet next Monday,
will refuse to ratify the Fifteenth Amend
ment. We do not doubt that Congress
will find or make a preteXt for officially
declaring the amendment to have been
ratified Gy the requisite number of States
and to be a part Of the Constitution, but
such a declaration, if sustained by fact
and law, viii not, We trust, be allowed to
stand for a single day il the friends of the
Constitution shall have the constitutional
power to annul it. The amendment has
10 been ratified by Indiana. although
the unprincipled Radical leaders Of that
State assert thai it has been; and, if it
shall be nOminally ratified by Virginia,
Mississippi and Texas, the thing will be
done under the influence of duress and
for that reason will be TO all intents void,
Let the Democracy, wherever they have
the power, as they certainly have in Ten
nessee, ses 10 il that the amendment is
not legally or isg;timately ratified, and
we may confidently trust that the wrongs
perpetrated by the party now gpfOrtu-
natelY dominant viii in good time be cor
rected. As surely as the Republic shall
live, that good time will-come.
Because we want peace, one of the
strongest reasons why we should be
anxious that the Fifteenth Amend
ment might not so much as appear to
prevail and be carried by frauds and
force is TO be found in the fact, above
50 distinctly announced by the Louis
vile COtTier-JoUFRai, that the amend
ment will not be" allowed to stand for
a single day after the friends Of the
Constitution shall have the eOnstitu-
tiOnal power to amend it," If passed
it will be a wrong from which there
can be no rest from agitation until it is
repealed. We are glad to learn from
all our sources of information that the
view of the journal as to what our
Legislature will do is correct. The
negro suffrage question pure and sim
pie, on its own dement's, will be a
subject for the Convention yet to be
called. What is not good for the Ia
ton is not good for the State, De
mOcracy with negro suffrage is De-
mocrdcy run mad, and "run ia the
ground" The most important of all
restrictions on Republican institutions
are those which are designed to ex-
the ignorant and vicious from
controlling public affairs.

We have now two ex-Presidents in
the field, neither of whom were elect
eli by the people. WILLARD FILL
MORE is delivering eulogies on the
great German HUMBOLDT, the equal of
AGAssIs, of our own country, and
also visits the Louisville Commercial
Convention, of which he is likely to
be the presiding officer. And we
have in Tennessee our W ANDY,
who, no longer Military Governor, or
especial MOSES" is speaking here
and there in the State as an undis-
guised candidate for Senator, and IL
lustrating in words his ancient and
piebeian love for +" the people" After
oil, If a man has been President, he IS
not a god-"a mans a man for a
that" 1t may seem strange, but it is
not the less true in the United States,
that the equal of any, and the supe-
.riOrs Of most American Presidents.

sional District and county of the land.
We do not make Presidents of our in
ieliectual giants.

THE policy which has put negroes in the
jury box appears 10 be bearing fruits
which even Southern Radicals arc dis
gnsted with. The Galveston BiHlehn,
hitherto one Of the strongest advocates of
CongTess,onl reconstruction, in a late is
sue declares that recent Verdicts have
done much to unscttls popular faith in
colored juFies. They nave q disregard for
law and testimony that is absolutely he

serious. \ case was tried in the Criminal

the testimony could be more conclusive,

Well, if experience has shown he

Not knowing the difference between

Questions for q Wife.

DO you recollect what your feelings
were Immediately after you had spok-
en- the first unkind word to your hus-
band2 Did you not feel ashamed and
grieved, and yet too proud to admit
it? That was, is and ever will be your
evil genius 1T is the temper which
labors necessarily to destroy your
peace, which cheats you with an evil
delusion that your husband deserved
your anger, when he really most requi-
red your love. 1t is the cancer which
feeds on those unspeakable emotions
you felt on the first pressure of his
hand and lip. Never forget the man
ner in which the duties of that calling
can alone be fulfilled. If your husband
is hssty, your example Of patience will
chide as well as teach him. Your vio-
lence may ALLEVIATE his heart, and your
neglect impel him to despe ration. Your
soothing will redeem bim-your soft
ness subdue him and the good natured
twinkle of those eyes, now filling beau
tifully with priceless tears, will make
him all your own.

formerly of Ohio.
Poor Johnnie is gone! We saw
him and his fair Mollie bid a long
farewell to the monotony Of
single life. lie met his fate like a
brave warrior. and we doubt not but
he will stand by and protect his Bonnie
Bride through all the ups and downs
Of welded life. He may now rest at
ease, while in the full fruition of the
Eldorado of his hopes. Johnnie de-
serves a good fate, as he has long been
breaking the staff of life to the hungry.
cakes to the fastdous, and candies to
the little ones. He now possesses the
panacea for all the ills of life; and
should old father time, perchance,
throw some little Jshnnies in his path
way, may he then, as now, have much
in store for them, Then be of good
cheer, Johnnie. Though the weather
is warm, and you have wandered far
from your native land. you are here
among friends that fully appreciate
your nice hot rolls and wedding rusks.
While all is lovely, and Johnnie is lux
uriating on the charms Of his Fair,
and ftful visions Of the opening future,
like fairy dreams, fit before his Devil
dered imagination, may he not forget
to discourse some sweet seraphic
strains from his favorite Concertina in
honor of his recent brilliant victory.

A letter from Salt Lake City, to the
Evangelist says: 1.-TWO Of Brigham
Young's sons have three wives each.
One Of the six was year and q half
ago, consistent member of a Presby
terian church in an Eastern city. She
made q visit to friends in Utah, accom-
panied by another young lady on a
similar errand. Their party met on
the way John W. Young. third son of
the great American husband. She was
attractive, 90 was he. The Indians
threatened the passes, and the journey
WAS prolonged. Wherefore, such is
the frequent logic Of life-within .
month altar their arrival, the young
Presbyterian became the third wife OF
John W., and her friend the correspon.
ding number three Of Brigham Jr."

Artificial gems are now largely man
utactured in Europe, the base Of them
bcinga tlux obtained by melting to
ecthcr carbonate of soda burned borax
salt petre, red lead, and the purest
white sand, in the proportions and &C
cording to the patented method Of the
Superintendent Of the Royal Porcelain
Works at Berlin. The various gems
are initiated in color, but of course
not in composition, by the addition of
metallic oxides. Thus for the emerald,
a mixture, protoxidc Of iron and car
Donate OF copper is used; for sapphire
carbonate of cobalt; for the amethyst
Of maganese; and for the topaz, oxide
of uranium. If some abundant source
Of the compounds Of the new metal
thalium could be discovered and some
comparatively cheap method Of separ-
ating them from their associates be Int
upon, they would doubtless enter large
~ into the composition of these arti-
licial gems, especially for the manufac-
ture of those with high refractory pow
er and great lustre. A colorless glass
having thalilin in its composition
makes the most perfect imitation OF
the diamond---far beyond any paste yet
known.
