the city. InS &OOO AOAA0 -
the place were on the tip
toe of expectation and IN
patience; Notwithstanding all the
turmoil of my great-grandtather, not
a symptom Of the church was yet to
be seen; they even began to fear 1t
would never be brought into the |
world, but that its great pro-
jector would lie down asd die in |
labor of the mighty plan he had |
conceived. At length, having oeeu-
pied twelve good months in putting
and pudding, and talking and walk
lng-having travelled over all Hol-
land, and even taken a peep into
France and Germany-having smo ked
i've hundred and ninety-niDe pipes.
and three hundred. weight of the best
Virginia tobacco - my great grand
father gathered together all that
knowing and industrious class of citi-
zen5 who prefer attending to any
body's business sooner than their
OVID, and having pulled off his coat
and fine pair of brooches, he advanced
steadily up and laid the corner stone
of the church, in presence of the
whole multItude-just at the COM
mencement of the thirteenth month"
The great grandson of this adm.
rable old contractor fails to inform us
how much time elapsed before the
church was completed, but who can
doubt that the edifco thus begun was
promptly finished, and was as durable
as the patience of the worshippers
for whose accommodation it was
built.
We quote this story of the great
progenitor of the Knickerbockers
that from it our people may learn
a lesson of patience. They have been
finding fault with the Directors of the
Carmi Road for not going ahead faster
with that enterprise, when not more
than sic months Ehave elapsed since
their election, and they have ordered
! an engineer from Cincinnati, who, it
is anticipated, will proceed with equal
rapidity to make preliminary survey.
There are many other lessons of
wisdom to be found in this valuable
book. Among others, the author
proves to the satisfaction of himself
and friends that large portion Of the
! troubles which annoy and depress
6 cities arise from the fact that in the
selection Of Aldermen or Councilmen
sufficient attention has not been paid
! to the avoirdupos of the candidates
. Were none but men Of two hundred
and over chosen to these positions
and fat in proportion. the people Of
every citywould lead quiet and peace
able lives, and would never be dis
!, turbed by haraasing projects for pub
lie improvements.
But we have not space to enume'
rate all the noticeable things in this
wonderful book. We can only add
that it is one of the Knickerbockel
editions of Irving's complete works
e the most beautiful ever published
Its cream tinted paper, fine engray
ings, and clear type make it an oIna
: ment to any library. Messrs. Fish &
Barter have arrangements by which
: they can promptly furnish the com
l plete edition to any who may desire
it. Parents will find that the writings
of this favorite American author
constitute the very best, as well as
most interesting, books they can place
, in the hands of their children.

THE New York San tells the fell
lowing Wall Street story of a day."
Smith was man of millions this morn;
To.night he's a bankrupt and all forloTn.
Last night he slept in a princely bed
Tonight on husks he must toss his head.
This morn In a coupe he rode down
Like Iord he rode through the dizzy
town.
Jones was q very poor man this morn;
To. night he's q millionaire newly born;
For he watched his chance and went for
stocks,
And made fabulous pile of rocks.
Last night he slept in pauper's bed;
To night soft pillows will rest his head.
This morning he walked to the stock Tx
change.
And shot at the target with lucky range;
Tonight he rides from the place away,
For he's gambled and won poor Smiths
coupe.

This Article, had it been embodied IN our

fundamental law since 1916, very much OF the
worst legislation of the last twenty years could
never have been enacted.
Hardly less important is that provision OF
Art. III. which increase the number OF AS

question in the worst way. Give them
81 900 per annum, and they may live on half
of it if they will, and and carry home $500

DAYS at the dullest season, is not bad.
But we can specify no further to-day. The
| Amended Constitution, if ratified, will prove a
terror to evil-doers, a dcath-blow to many
forms of official corruption, and barrier

the people of our State to give 1t prompt

A valuable article on the Gold Question, by
Victor Bossuet, appears in the Revue Des Denr
Mondes. 1t argues that the mines of Caifor.
MIA and Australia have increased the aeere.
gate gold supply of the world by 30 per cent
and that the accumulation of specie to the
amount of 1,3OOOO0,OOO francs in the Bank OF
France is the result of a plethora of gold.
which, after being thus held for a few years,
must undergo a general decline in valua
throughout the world, relatively to other CON-
modities, similar to the decline Of IS per cent
which followed the influx Of gold from Mex
leo and Peru in the century following the
landing of COrtez. So much the easier,
then, ought it to be for Congress to adopt such
a financial policy as will make gold once more
our standard of payment as well as Of value.
If gold is becoming cheaper in fact than it
ever was before, so much the less reason ia
there why we should permit our currency to
be at discount.

The prOclamations which have thus far been
issued by Captain General Dulce make, on the
whole a favorable impression. If the Cubans
were not bent on achieving their independence,
his administration might have been the most
popular as it has undoubtedly been the most
LIBERAL which the island has ever had. The
frmness with which the Cubans, nOtwithstand-
ing all liberal prOclamatiOns and promises,
adhere to the cause of independence, is the
best proof that the Spanish authorities have
not TO deal with few rebels, but with n ma
tonal revolution, which seems to strike deeper
root every dny There have been serious reyO-
lutionary demonstrations in and near Havana,
and the loss of BayamO seems only to have
deepened the sympathy of the Cubans with
the national cause. A spirit like that now dis
played by the Cubans is sure to win IN the
end They may not be successful in the
present revolution though even this is still far
from being subducd; but there can hardly be
any doubt as to the future. The area of Cuba
and Porto Rico is nearly equal to that Of
England proper without Wales, and the pop
ulaton of the two islands, which already
amounts to 100000, is increasing with amazing
rapdity. Even greater and stronger European
nations would be unable to keep such country
in subsection against its will. As soon as the
Cubans shall be unanimous in their desire for
independence-and this point of time appears
to approach rapldly-the Spaniards will have
TO withdraw very soon.

The cities of Seville and Cadiz are reported
to have proclaimed in favor of the Duke Of
Montpensier as King of Spain. Both these
cities are strongly Republican. and in neither
could the Duke Of Montpensier receive any
thing like a majority of votes. The leaders of
the Liberal Union, with Marshal SeTanO at
their head, are making the utmost efforts to
secure the election of the Duke, who, it is
thought at present, has as good chances OF
being elected as any other prince who has yet
been nominated.

The complications Of the Georgia case are
quite sufficient to account for the diverse views
entertained by the excellent lawyers on the
Judiciary Committee of the Senate. The sa-
lent feature of Judge Trumbulrs argument in
favor of the admission of the Georgia Senator
was the use made of the act declaring Georgia
entitled to representation. The President not
long ago, had been involved in difficulty for
holding that each House must decide for itself
on the admission of members from the South /;
and now members were urging the Senate to
do, in violation of this act, precisely what the
President had insisted and they had denied
that they had a right TO do. The strong point
of the majority report is the argument that the
requirements of the Constitutional Amend
mcnt were violated in the admission
to the Legislature Of men who
could not take the required OATH and in the
expulsion, 10y their votes of the negroes who
could Messrs. Conkling and Frelinghuysen
reach the conclusion that the Senator should
not bo admitted, but cannot sanction tho
arguments by which the majority sustain it.

We find in Western newspapers list Of land
grant railroads, built or proposed to Congress,
with the number of acres granted to each in
the bill concerning it. The list only comes
down to June 1853, but up to that time these
grants had reached the astonishing aggregate
of 1SC,lOO,OOO acres We do not know that this
statement is correct one and We certainly hope
that it is not But the announcement is
so staggering, and is made with such matter
