NEW York AND THE FIFTEENTH

New York AND THE FIFTEENTH
AMENDMENT.-The House Of AS
sembly has passed, BY a vote of six
ty-five against fifty six, the Senate
resolution which had been previous
ly enacted, recalling the resolution
of the previous Legislature ratifying
the Fifteenth Amendment to the
Constitution. As this amendment
has not yet been made valid by the
consent of the necessary number Of
States, no doubt can be entertained
of the right of New York TO do this.
Thus two of the large States Of
the Union, New York and Ohio,
States which have long been made
the control of the radical party,
have ranged themselves in opposi-
ton 10 one of the cardinal points of
the faith of the party. Were it not
for the coerced consent Of the South
ern States to this measure, it would
be defeated by large vote. New
York and Ohio Indicate the growth
of northern sentiment against the
radicals, and point to their defeat
at no very distant day.

Damascus Is the oldest city ia the
world. Tyre aud Sidon have erum-
bled ON the shore; Baalbse is ruin
Palmyra is buried in a desert; Min.
eyAh aud Babylon have disappeared
from the Tigris and the Euphrates,
Damascus remains what IL was be.
f6ro the days OF Abraham center
OF trado and travel-an island Of
verduro in the desert; "a presiden,
tial capital" with martial and sa.
cred associations extending through
thirty centnries. II was near Dam.
ascus that Saul Of Tarsus saw the
light above tho brightness OF the
sun; tho street which Is called Strait,
In which il was said she prayed"
still runs through the city. Tho
caravan comes aud goes as il did u
thousand years ago; there Is still the
sheik, the ass, aud the water.whocl;
tho merchants oftho Euphrates and
the Mediterranean still occupy"
these "with the multitude Of their
wares" The city which Mahomet
surveyed from neighboring height,
and was afraid TO enter "because il
was given TO man to have but one
paradise, and for his part, he was
resolved not to have II in this world"
is o.day what Julian called the "eye
of tho East" as il was, in tho time
of Isaiah, "the head Of Syria"
From Damascus came tho dam.
son, our blue plums, and tho deli
cious apricot Of Portugal, called
damasco; damask, our beautiful fab.
ric OF cotton and silk, with vines
and flowers raised up on u smooth,
bright ground; tho damask rose, in.
troduced into England in tho time
ofHenry VIII; tho Damascus blade,
so famous the world over for its
keen edge and wonderful elasticity,
the secret Of whose manufacture
was lost when Tamerlane carried
the artist into Persia; and that beau
tiful art of inlaying wood and steel
with gold and silver, kind Of mo.
sale engraving and sculpture united
called damaskoening-with which
boxes, bureaus and swords are Or
namented. 1t is still city Of flow
crs and bright waters; the streams
of Lebanon and tho "silk of gold"
still murmur and sparkle in the
wilderness of the Syrian gardens.

passion comes over us sometimes for
silence and rest-that this dreadful
mechanism, unwinding the endless
tapestry OF time, embroidered with
spectral figures Of lifo and death,
could have but one brief holiday ?
Who can wonder that men swing
themselves of from beams in hemp

faer. Ills purpose is a kind of felt, the
composition of which is the secret
ofan Italian named Muratori. This
felt, prepared by powerful engines,
is cast into moulds like melted metal
When it gets cold it resists the eff

for uniforms, il rcsists blows by q

Used as an armor, it resists the ball

siderably diminishes it's effect when

Whether or not these statements
are correct, will soon come to light.
