is every reason to believe that the tide
of migration will turn more largely

better received and will meet with bet

followed too closely in the trail of our

The following curious story is the town
talk in the city of Christian, Norway /:
A lady in that city, by dint of vari-
GUS supplications and stratagems had
succeeded in wrestling the secret of
Free Masonry from her husband. No
sooner had she done SO than, in her ex-
element, she hurried to the Grand
Master, told him that the brother had
revealed all to her, and closed by i'm
ploring him, Give my husband back
to me- The Grand Master, who had
received her in a hah entirely hung in
black, piercing the portrait of the re-
creant brother with a poniard, said to
her: Your husband is no longer a
Free Mason When the poor lady re-
turned home she found her husband
dead. He had been stabbed with a
poniard at the same place where the
portrait had been pierced with it.

Mr.. Bergh, the philanthropist, conn
plains to the Brooklyn, IN. Y. Board
of Health, that cows are kept in that
city which are rotting in their stables,
ard that the dead cart is constantly
waiting for the carcasses of cows which
actually die while being MIXED. Hum
dreds of men, women and children are
murdered by these sanitary abomina-
tons, to say nothing of the tortures Of
the poor, patient brute. "The stables"
he says, fought to be swept away, and
the proprietorss sent to Sing Sing.

# appears that the Radical leaders
are beginning to feel that the validity
of the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments, should the latter be ratified, is
at least questionable. Under these
circumstances, it is suggested by one
of the Radical organs in Washington,
as the only means of repose, the call
ing of a constitutional convention to
cure the evil. The paper says:
1T has been suggested that, to pro-
vide a definite quietus for such
questions, it may be necessary to
convoke a constitutional convention,
which should recast the entire cousti-
tuition, with all its amendments,
taking advantage of the occasion to
affirm the sense of the country upon
any desirable modification of that
instrument"
The more sensible Republicans are
beginning to fear that we are acting
hastily and inconsiderately. Nothing
certainly could be more disastrous to
the public peace than doubtful fun
damental law.
The Representative of this District
in Congress, Hon. S. NJ ARNELL,
voted against the admission of Vir-
ginia into the Union. The Old Do
minion came in, the vote standing,
143 for admission, 40 against. The
Nashville Banner calls these 40, the
"black list"
