A PRoMISEST and influential citizen OF
Lewis county, US long ago Us June 1863
wrote US a couple OF lelters, "Ihe primary
object of which," As he said in one Of
them, was "to interest you us in the
call oga convention TO revise and amend
our State constitution" In one Of those
letters occurs this passage:
Tits now six years since the Stale was
created and four years since the close Of
the war; in all which time no great scheme
looking to the internal improvement Of
the State has been projected and cOnsufn'
mated, for the want OF State patronage"
We refer to the incident now to show
that the great scheme Of internal i'm
proyement by Estate patronage" covered
up in the call for Convention, is not u
plant Of recent growth.

HENRY WARD BEECIIER has said many
good things in his day, never better one
than disturbance on the anti. Orange riot,

but the liberty of New York; that the

sentatives Of great principlGS have not
the right to yield il, but are bound to vim.
dicateit it. This will find an echo in every
true American heart. We will see il a
society Of foreigners coming here to en-
joy the rights and privileges Of American
citizenship shall assume to deny those
rights and privileges to others. They can
do 1t in New York, 50 lar as the miserable
plundering government Of that city is
concerned. Everybody knows that But
there Is a power above the Mayor and the
Superintendent Of Police OF New York,
and to that the appeal is made in behalf
Of civil and religious freedom. The
Orangemcn shall parade; and, ii they are
interrupted, or in any way molested, the
offenders shall suffer the penalty OF the
law which they violate. So say the great
American people. 80 say all Of us.

The HUMAN FIGURE. The proportions
Of the human figure are strictly matn-
ematical The whole form is SIX times
the length of the feet. Whether the
form be slender plump, the rule holds
good; any deviation from it is depart
ure from the highest beauty OF proper
ton. The Greeks made all their stat
ues according to this rule. The face,
from the highest point of the forehead,
where the hair begins, to the chin, is
'one-tenth of the whole stature. The hand
from the wrist to the middle finger is
the same. From the top of the chest
to the highest point Of the forehead is
a seventh. If the face, from the roots
of the hair to the chin, be divided into
three equal parts, the first division de-
termines the place where the eyebrows
meet, and the second the place OF the
nostrils The height from the feet to
the top of the head is the distance
from the extremity of the fingers when
the arms are extended.
