Amendment to the Constitution of til,
| United States, and for other purposes
approved April 90, A. D., 1871, being a
law of extraordinary public Importance,

proclamation calling the attention of the
people OF the United States thereto, en-
joining upon all good citizens, and es
pecially upon public officers, to be zeal.
Gus in the enforcement thereof, and warn
ing all persons to abstain from commit
ting any acts thereby prohibited. The
law of Congress applies To all parts of thr
United s ates, and was enforced every
where The extent of the powers vested
in the eecutive is extraordinary, but, in
asmuch as the necessity therefor ia well
known to have been caused chief by per
sistent violations Of tue gifts ofcitIzens OF
the United States by combinations Of law
less and disaffected persons inc ertalnlocal-
ties In the states lately in insu rction and
military conflict, do particularly exhort
the people of that part OF the country o
suppress all such combinations by their
own voluntary efforts, through the agency
of the local laws,and to MAINTAIN til,
rights of all citizens OF the United States
and to secure to all such citizens equal
protection of the laws.
Fully sensible of the responsibility i'm
posed upon the Executive by this act OF
Congress, to which public opini y is now
called, and reluctant to Cal. into exercise
any extraordinary power thereby confer
red upon me, except N cases Of imperative
necessity, do, nevertheless, deem it my
duty to make known that wilIhot hes
irate to exhaust the power thus Visited IN
the Executive whenever and wherever II
shall become necessary to do SO tor the
purpose of securing to all citizens Of the
United States the peaceful enjoyment u
the rights guaranteed to them by the
Constitution and laws 1t is my earnest
wish that peace and cheerful obedience
to the law may prevail throughout the
land, and that all trao@ of our late un
happy civil strife may be speedily re-
moved. These ends can be easily reached
1y acquiescence in the results of the cou.
f1ics now written in our Constitution ana
by due aud proper enforcement OF equai,
just and impartial laws in every part o.
our country. The failure of local com
nunlties to furnish such means for the
astainment of the results So earnest dc.
sired IMPOSES upon the national govern
ment the duty of putting forth all its en-
efgies for the protection of it's citizens,
of every race and color, and for the
restoration of peace and order throughout
the entire country.
In testimony whereof, have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the

"Well, how did you make so much: l
don't see how you you could do it."
"Well, sir, made one thousand dollars,

STRANGE STORY OF A MURDER
New York morning paper publishes the
following singular story: About two
months ago it was rumored that the once
famous yacht Maria, formerly the pro-
perty of Commodore Stevens of the New
York Yacht Club, had been lost at sea.
and 1t is now reported that the rumor
was set ahoat ut the time to cover IN the
murder of the captain and the seizure of
the vessel by the crew 1t is said that
two seafaring men who recently arrived
in this city state that he Maria is run
ming the Cuban blockade from a southern
port, under command of Spanish Cap
tain, and that rumor is current to the
effect that Capt. Martin had been MUIR
dered by his crew. Steps have been
taken to ensure her seizure by the Uni
ted States Consular authorities in Cuba,
San Domingo, New Providence and As.

said, ordered United States cruisers to

1t is proposed to lay down a cast-iron
tube for railway purposes between Eng
land and France, The tube would be
commenced at one side of the cham. J.,
and laid at the bottom OF the sea, being
built up inside horizontal cylinder or
bell, to be constantly pushed forward as
the building Of the tube proceeded. The
line selected FOR the tube to be thus sub
merged is close to the Dover, on. the Eng
lish side ofthe Channel, and would extend
Cape Grisnez on the French coast, the
distance between the two points being
twenty-five miles, and the average depth
Ut water one hundred and ten feet. Ac-
cording to this plan, the tube would be
made large enough for the passage of
railway carriages ofordinary construction,
while the traffic could be worked by
pneumatic pressure, thus securing con-
slant supply of fresh air, and at the same
time precluding all possibility of coils
ion. 1t is estimated that slow train
will be able to accomplish the distance in
one hour and six minutes, but an express
train IN forty six minutes Five thou.
sand passengers and ten thousand tons OF
goods could be conveyed through the
tube daily.

The NUMBER FOURTEEN. The number
fourteen has been discovered to be of great
historical import. The first King of France
named Henry was eonsecrated on the 14th of
May, 1929; on the 18th of May, 15S9 the
Parisians rose against Henry Ill; and the
last Henry was assassinated upon the 14th of
May, 1910. Henri de Bourbon was the four
teenth king who bore the titles of France
and Navarro, and in his name we find just
fourteen letters. Henry " was born in De-
cember, 1553-the figures of which date
added together make fourteen-exactly four
teen centuries, fourteen decades and fourteen
years after the birth of Christ His
first wife, Margaret of Valois,
was born on the 14th of May,
1862; the battle of Ivry was fought
and won on the 14th of March, 1890; on the
14th of May, in the same year, the white
plumed hero was beaten in the faubourgs of
Paris; and on the 14th of November, the six
teen swore to die rather than obey his rule.
On the same day, six years later, was regis
tered the Papal bull empowering the legate
of Rome to nominate an occupant of the
French throne to Henry's exclusion; on the
14th of December, 1899, he was reconciled to
the Duke of Savoy; and on the 14th of May,
1910, he was stabbed by Ravaillac in the Rue
della Ferronnerie; the assassin's opportunity
being supplied him by the stoppage of the
royal carriage, owing to the narrowness of the
street, which, fifty. six years before, Henry II
has ordered to be widened, his unfulflled
order bearing date the 18th of May. 1t will
be noticed that one date, that of the 14th of
May, plays prominent part in this catalogue
of condolences; and upon that same date
in 1913, Louis XIII died-the figures /, 6, 4,
3, when added, again producing the magical
number of fourteen. Louis XIV assembled
the throne in 1913; died in 1715, equal to
fourteen again. and lived to the age of II
seven and seven making fourteen. Louis
XIV died in 1774, date supplying the same
number, both in its extremes and the sum of
its central figures. Louis XVI had reigned
just fourteen years when he summoned the
States General, destined to bring about the
Revolutions on the 18th of July, 1889, the
Bastile was destroyed; and in 1914 the Bour-
bons were restored-a year bearing the all
important number, not only in it's figures,
but likewise in their SUM. On the 14th of
July, 1916, Napoleon informed Captain Matt
land that he threw himself upon Eugland's
protection; on the 14th of July, 1870, diplo-
matte relations were broken off between
France and Prussia; and lastly, on the 14th
of August Marshal Bazalne's army retreated
over the Moselle before the advancing legions
of Germany Chambers Journal

QUEER STORY OF A MIsER.-A correspond
ent, writing from Knoxville, ILL.,, describes
the peculiar death of a miser in that town,
who was reputed to be worth 500, 900. He
had nephew, very worthy young man, who
was going out West to seek his fortune A
few days before he was ready to leave, he
went to his old uncle to sell him some notes
of hand which he held. The old miser would
not touch them, but said, You have always
been good boy, but only little too extrava-
giant; will make you a little present before
you leave" He drew check on the bank for
$5, as he supposed, but, owing to his bad
eyesight and worse penmanship, it proved to
be $500. This unaccountable act of benevo-
lence soon became noised about town, and, of
course, soon came to the ears of the miser.
He rushed to the bank, and, under much ex-
citement, asked one of the bank officials what
the amount of the check he had given his
nephew was, "$5OO, said the clerk ''What?"
said the miser. $500, said the clerk, pro-
ducing the check. After reading, and trem-
bling in every muscle, he gave one long-drawn
sigh, and exclaimed, 'tMy God am ruined
man, then sank down and died.

A FEMALE MISER.
A Woman with $4,000 In Bank starVes Her
SELF tn


Coroner Young Ia engaged to-day ia investi-
u.UUg the circumstances attending the death OF
: ury Hurley, who died yesterday of absolute
. trvation and cold in the tenement-hou5e No.
52 Mulberry street. She was a great miser, and
although she had plenty of money, denied her
self the necessaries of life Her dead body
was found on pile of rags in a room on the
top floor of the house. 1t presented fearfully
emaciated appearance, aud the only clothing
the old creature had was thin and tattered
calico dress. The apartment in which she
lived is six feet by ten in size. An old stove in
one corner, supplied with bits of wood picked
up in the streets furnished the only warmth
for the room. The coroner, upon reaching the
wretched house of the deceased, found 80 in
bills and stamps of various denominations and
bank books showing that she had $1,000 depo-
sited to her credit in the Bowery and Chambers
Street Savings Banks. How the deforned and
sickly creature, who was nearly seventy years
of age, could have accumulated so much re-
mains mystery. It is now in the hands of Mr.
Morgan, and will be handed over for the benefit
of relatives to the Public Administrator. 1t
was rumored that she had son in Ireland,
who will doubtless rejoice over his good for
tune, though coupled with the announcement of
the death of his mother. The deceased elxed
out a wretched existence by begging and the
gleaniDgs of ash barrels on the streets. She was
known to the' residents of the vicinity as
''Molly," and her hunch backed form and sorry
plight were constant source of amusement to
the gd,nins, who delighted in teasing her. Her
history aud character would furnish theme
for the novelist, and illustrate one of the
strangest phases of human nature.-N Y. Com

GETTING A HUSBAND.
The StrnteRY of nm Old Mind.

Mr.. James o. Burrill, man who has reached
the age of twenty-five years, and has been a
married man three years. But he is not happy.
The woman he married when he was only nine
teen years old old enough, to be his
mother, and wicked enough, if his statements
are correct, to be the maternal ancestor of the
Evil One himself. Her name was Ella Rowley,
and she lived in Syracuse, New York The
shocking manner in which she deceived and
ruined the innocent and unsuspecting young
man is pointedly set forth in the bill of divorce
which he filed in the Circuit Court at Chicago
last week.
Mr. Burrill states that on August 1, 1868, he
was married to Ella Rowley, in the city of Syra-
cuse New York; that he, being of immature
age-tO wit, 10 years-and inexperienced in the
ways of the world, became victim of the blan-
dishments of the said Ella Rowley, person of
mature age and that this cruel seduction was
accomplished to enable her to compel him to
marry her.
He states that he resisted manfully for many
hours and only yielded after prolonged duress,
and to save himself from threatened public
prosecution, If not personal violence; that upon
perform the marriage ceremony was procured,
but as quickly as he could he left the hated
He therefore asks the court to sever the bond
that binds him to the mature female.
"A married lady residing in West Troy was
presented on New Years Day with 300, 600.
There are good many persons who would like
to know how this is themselves.

A You've SMoKER.-A remarkable instance
of early acquaintance with the virtues of
tobacco was lately brought under the notice
of the London Pathological Society by DR..
Dickinson, in boy three years of age, an
inpatient of the Children's Hospital in Great
Ormond street The boy was admitted with
marked symptoms of that form of paralysis
known as locomotor ataxy, which is extremely
rare at an early age, and the popularity of
his antecedents was that he was an habitual
smoker. 1t appears that he early evinced a
remarkable objection to female society, and
preferred marching about with his father,
who was gamekeeper, and sharing his COM
forts, including short pipe and strong
tobacco. When admitted into the hospital,
an inquiry into the history of the case elected
the fact of his being smoker; and on test
ing his prediction in this respect when in
the hospital, he exhibited proficiency in the
art which could have only been acquired by
some practice; and he preferred smoking that
particular vegetable product which is known
to the initiated by the name of ''shag."

AN ENTERPRIsING WoMAN.-A Virginia
paper says:-"The man who gets one of ou
best Rockingham girls for a wife does
splendid business for himself. No portion of
the country that we have ever seen or heard
of can furnish more enterprising women than
ours. widower in CLARK county, Virginia,
had the good fortune to get one of our Rock
ingham girls, who, from her poultry alone,
the past season, made almost enough to sup
port small family. This lady raised from
five turkey hens seventy-five turkeys. In
addition to these, she raised between three
hundred and four hundred chickens. She sent
forty-nine of her turkeys to Washington the
20 cents per pound, the lot bringing $91 10.
She has sold $111'1O worth ef poultry this
fall and winter. In one month she gathered
and sold so dozen of eggs. This lady is a
young house-keeper, too, and has the care
OF growing family upon her hands"
