The New York Mail relates that a number
of young ladies', school teachers of New York
city, are spending their vacation at a some
what pretentious seaside hotel on Long Island,
and have been in the habit of participating in
the parlor hops which of course constitute
an important feature of the evenings diversion
But at a recent fashionable (?) arrival in the
person of lady who is wealthy enough to buy
out the whole establishment, caused a change
IN the programme. This lady objected to
assOciating with school teachers, aud the latter
were requested to refrain from joining in the
dance; and like sensible young ladies they
preserved their own dignity by refusing to
enter into controversy with the lady of "many
stamps. But the circumstance coming to the
knowledge of the landlord he laid the subject
before lady guest of superior intelligence and
high position in the metropolitan world of
fashion, who speedily reversed the order of the
dancing parties, and the name of the lady who
objects to the society of school teachers has
been dropped from the roll Of the fair jewellers
hotel.

BONE FELoN.-Of all the painful things,
can there be anything so excruciatingly painful
as bone felon? We know of none that flesh is
heir to. AS this malady is quite frequent and
subject to much earnest considerations we give
the latest recipe for its cure, which is given by
that high authority, the London Lancet"
AS soon as the disease is felt, put directly
over the spot fiy-blister, about the size of
your thumb-nail, and let it remain for six
hours, at the expiration of which time, directly
under the surface of the blister may be seen
the felon, which can be instantly taken out
with the point of needle or a lancet"

follows Mrs: John Buchanan was unusually
charming, with orange blossoms in her hair

absent and failed to read the proof, when what
was Mrs. B s. Indignation on reading the next
morning: Mrs. John Buchanan was co ,tinu

A MORAL.-A Syrian convert to Christian
ity, as the story goes was urged by his en-.
ployer to work on Sunday, but he declined.
" But" says the master, does not your bible
say that if man has an OK or an ass that falls
into pit on the Sabbath day he may pull him
outY' F" Yes. - answered Hanyon; "but if
the ass has habit Of falling into the same pit
every Sunday, the man should either fill up
that pit or sell that ass" The story has a
sort of 9 moral which will fit a great many
disputed points in these days.

The members Of the joint high commlS'
sion held their first formal session IN aSH-
ipetou on Tuesday. These sessions arc
private. and it is intended to make puon'
the results onlv, at The conclusion OF the
work but that our curiosity may not niea"-
while be too painfully stretched the 'eie-
,,-.-b voucbsafes the information that the
meeting WAS quite pleasant, that the SUD
ieets presented were deliberately considered
and that a favorable issue to the labors OF
tho commission is anticipated. Considering
the Obstacles in the way of procuring infor-
marion If must be acknowledged the report
or has succeeded remarkably in furnishing
news as to this first meeting Of the commits
sion. We now know that the gentlemen
composing it did not on assembling fall vio-
lently into dispute, proceed to fight, and
get locked up for breach Of the peace on
the contrary, that quite unexpectedly they
calmly considered such matters as were
brought before them, when they might have
dismissed them with scorn and contempt, in
favor of whiskey and euchre. The further
assurance that a favorable issue is antiei-
pated to the pleasant and deliberate sessions
Of the commission Is gratifying, though this
scarcely comes upon us with the freshness OF
a first announcement, as nearly every news
paper in the country has already expressed
similar prophetic views yet,as that was only
prophecy while this is history, we feel that
we are treading on frmer ground in read
ing it. which is a comfortable feeling in
these times Of apocryphal information. We
see it stated, by the way, that number OF
British subjects whose property was seized
during the war, on the ground Of the
owners having given aid and comfort to the
enemy. are industriously hunting up evi-
dencc for claims for indemnity, to be pre-
scented for adjudication by the commissioner
The counsel Of these intending claimants,

Southern Outrages

Nj. Sheliatargcr Of Ohio introduced IN
the House On Thursday a bill intended 10
break up the ku-klux organizations which
are the curse Of some Of the Southern States.
1t provides that in cases where. the laws Of
the United State, or Of any State or terri
tory are INSTRUCTED Ply any combination too
powerful to he suppressed by the ordinary
course If Judicial proceedings, and in all
cases whuc the constituted authorities of
such State or territory iail or refuse to exc
cute the laws thereof, so as to secure TO all
persons equal protection OF ;he laws, it shall
be lawful for the Prcsideu; To employ the
land and naval forces of the United States
to suppress such combination, and to exc
cute the laws, even though the legislature or
executive Of such State may not call for sach
forces. The bill was referred to the Judicial
nv committee. As the House seems disin-
cliued to enter On general legislation before
adjournment, the bin may no. be reported
i'll next session.
or course the argument Of doubtful con-
stitutionality is brought forward against this
bill. as it has teon and will be against any
measure likely to be elective Ia the sup
preston Of these lawlss gangs. Tie fourth
section Of Article ". of the Constitution,
declares that " the United States shall guar
antcc to every State in the Union a republic
can form Of government. and shall protect
each o.: them again-t invasion and, on ap-
pbcqti0n az TIE bg,satrs or Of me 1eqair-
when the legislature cannot be convened),
against domestic violence" This at first
blush seems 10 confnc the action Of the
general government TO cases of domestic
violence in which federal protection is called
for by the Governor or Legislature of State.
But on the other hand, the NlYth Amend
mcnt, adopted with express reference to the
South. declares that no State shall deny to
any person within its jurisdiction &c The eg',a'
protection et The lar." 1t j. stated that
good lawyers in Congress hold that this
amendment gives Congress all neeiiul author
ity to place in the Presidents hands tic
power to deal directly with disorders in
States which omit OF refuse to protect their
citizens.

Late London dispatches show tia, con-
siderable irritation has been excited in Off
cial circles there by the reports current in
certain newspapers on this side that the
question of the cession Of Canada to the
United States viii De urged on the considera-
ton Of the high commission sitting in Wash
iugton. This appears to be a misapprehen-
sion. Some talk about the early annexation
Of Canada has been heard here, in connec-
ton with the work of the commission but
there is nothing to show that it has re-
ceivel the slightest official sanction, and it is
certain that that portion Of the press best
entitled to consideration has condemned the
proposition as untimely and injudicious.
The London Times in its issue Of Wedues-
day reiterates the opinion Of the English
government on the question, that the future
of the colonies lies entirely in the hands Of
the colonists themselves. This is well I'M
derstood here, and nowhere probably better
than in Washington We have no idea that
the people Of the United States intend or
desire to be false to the principle Of popular
sovereignty, or that our government dreams
of demanding Of the English government the
immediate cesslon Of Canada, ignoring the
wishes of the Canadians themselves in the
matter The Times misunderstands this
country when { treats in such serious vein
the loose talk about Canadian annexation in
which anonymous correspondents and por-
ton Of our press seem to delight
