George III~was the, possesser of
the smallest watch ever made; which
was the work of the famous chrOnom-
eter- maker, Arnold, and was set in
a ring like q jewel. 1t contained one
hundred and twenty different parts,
and weighed as many grains; so that
the parts weighed, one with another,
one grain each: the balance-wheel
aud pimon weighing only the seven
teehth part of a grain. OF course, or
binary tools were of no use for such
delicate work, and Arnold had to
make special set of implements for
it. The king was SO pleased with
the wonder, that that he rewarded
the skilfuI maker of it with five hun
dred guineas.
The Emperor of Russia wanted a
watch like it, and offered Arnold
thousand guineas for one but in or
der that his gift TO the king might
not be lessencd in value, and at the
same time to preserve its unique char
acter, he refused the offer.

A Little More SWagger.

\ new quarto has been started i'll the
'.Monumental City, which sails with the
business like name at its head of = The
iccountdnt and -1drcrtiser. AS speci-
men of the business qualifications of this
new candidate in the world of letters, we
quote from the second number. The
AdueJfiser is ambitious to advertise its
repugnance to all existing political facts,
and of course would be nothing if not
eloquent OH the negro. An article on this
inexhaustible subject closes with the fol-
lowing sage counsel to-all fools. Surely
it was written for none others.
These negro voters are with us-let us
make use of them. They have no heads
then let us appeal to what they have-thcir
bellies. This is the power that controls
the votes of Northern mines and factories
the power that has confessedly placed
the destines of the State of Rhode Island
within the grasp of two families-your
votes or no bread-and bread carries the
day. In our Judgment the Democrats of
Maryland have this power over the negro
vote in their hands, if they only will use it.
We have indicated the mode in which it
may be controlled and we believe that it
is the only one. BY this course we main
tain our self-respeet as party, we are in
consistent with no principle heretofore
avowed, and at the same time we accom-
plish all we could hope for from any other
line of policy with reference to this element
in our midst"
A novel way of retaining self respect"
That this course is inconsistent with no
principle heretofore avowed,' is very true.
We hope every colored man in the State
will read these words and learn the hopes
and plans of their deadliest enemies.
With a view to correct this and all SINH
lar fungi springing from the dead body of
secession, Mr.. Psol has introduced bill
into the United States Senate which pro-
vides that it shall be unlawful for persons
to combine or conspire together to violate,
hinder, OF impede any of the rights meant
to be secured by the fourteenth amendment
or either directly OF indirectly to ceerce,
intimidate, treat with violence, refuse to
employ, discharge from employment, or
otherwise injure or Cypress any citizen of
the United States, with intent to deter or
restrain him from the exercise Of such
rights, or because Of his having exercising
tee same. Such offenses shall be punisha-
BILE by the United States circuit courts by a
fine not exceeding $4,000, and imprson-
ment not exceeding ten years. Finally the
President is empowered to employ the land
and naval forces of the United States to
enforce the foregoing provisions and to
cause to be disbanded and dispersed all
combinations Of persons conspiring to
violate any of them.
The starving process in the lace of such
law well enforced would be found vexa-
tious in the extreme to our Maryland
Chivalry.

For The Cecil Wing
Another result of the evil Of the mark
ing system has manifested itself at Dickin-
son College. The members of the Junior
and Sophomore Glasses. having petitisned
for the hour, in order to witness the parade
of the colorcd people, on the Goth of last
the 18th Amendment. and being refused,
staid out of recitation, for which they were
assessed minus marks to the number of
twelve thousand, and the best men in the
classes suspended The Classmen, deeming
their punishment unnecessarily severe, ac-
knowledged their error in abscnting them
selves from recitation, and respectfully Pc
titioned for the resembling eff the marks,
and the restoration Of the suspended mem
bers. This being refused, they, on the
Both ult., notified the Faculty they would
not attend recitatiens, or perform College
duties, until the matter was satisfactorily
adjusted. The Faculty resolved, and mott
fed each member of the Glasses, that in
case he did not attend Rotations, on May
I'd, without satisfactory excuse for not
doing SO, reported on the same day to the
President. r. l.. Dashiel, IL D.. he would
be suspended until the first Thursday Of
September, next, and required to leave
Carlisle for home, the following day before
$50 JIM, under penalty of expulsion. The
matter has become serious. The faculty
are determined to sustain their position,
and the students to vindicatc their action
College duties are neglected, and groups of
undergraduates are seen in the Campus, on
every hand, engaged in earnest converse
ton, wearing piece Of yellow ribbon in
the button-hole of the coat.
The department of the students is manly.
and their action meets the hearty approval
of the townspeeple. The larger number
will leave for home to-day. and their alb
sence, for few will return will strike a
heavy blow to cod Dickinson
The Glasses interested have appointed a
committee to represent them before the
Beard of Trustees, at their annual meeting
in June. The final result is anxiously
looked forward to, since the report eff the
undergraduates of their action to the Trus-
tees will probably eventuate in some changes
in the statutes and Faculty. 20
