bors and maritime territory, and with the re-
s|trictions enacted by 5 so, exercised by the King

refuses to pass a Draft of Ordinance presented

therein that the King finds reason to withhold
His sanction, the King can cause a Draft of
Ordinance relative to the matter and aceompa-
MED by d communication of the Colonial COun-
ellis deliberations on the case, TO be laid before
the Diet. The Draft, thus passed by the Diet,
and sanctioned by the King, becomes Law.
All Ordinances shall be laid on the table of
the Diet in its next session following their is
sue.
In all other matters relating to the Colonies,
the respective Colonial Council shall, before
any Law containing provisions relating to the
Westindia Islands be given, be afforded oppor-
tunity of giving its opinion in the matter, I'M
less particular reasons render an exception ne
cessary.
The Ordinances passed by the respective Co.
lonial Councils enter into force, if sanctioned by
the King within one year after being passed,
and are otherwise considered as dropped. An
Ordinance can, however, be Professionally put
in force by being sanctioned by the Governor in
behalf of the King. If the King do not, before
the expiration Of one year after the Ordinance
has been passed by the Colonial Council, ex-
pressly refuse His sanction, the Ordinance &C.
0uireS final validity.
The Ordinances which, in accordance with
the above enactment, have been sanctioned by
the King, or the Governor in His behalf, shall
be promulgated by the Governor.

In extraordinary circumstances the King or
the Governor in His behalf have authority to is
sue Provisional Laws or Ordinances. They
shall, however, always be laid before the re-
s~pective Colonial Council at its next meeting,
ard, in case the matter requires to be decided
bv a Law, also before the respective LegiSla-
tive Assembly in the Mother country during its
first sitting, or, in case the Colonial Council
shall not then have finished its deliberations on
the matter, during thesecond ordinary session of
the Legislative Assembly subsequent to the
emanation of the Law in question.

The Government of the Danish Westindia
Islands rests, under the superior direction of
the responsible Minister concerned, with the

A Wonderful EscaDe.

A really wonderful escape from being
cut to pieces occurred on an English
line of railway, week or two ago. A
young man employed by the London
and Northeastern Company as coke
filler at a certain station, was returning
home from work, when he jumped upon
the step of a passing goods train, to
ride to certain crossing, few hundred
yards southwark. In the darkness he
was unobserved by the driver, who;
therefore did not slacken for him to
get down, and thus, owing to the i'm
petus of the engine, he was not able to
bring up, when he. leaped of
until he had run into the four feet of
the next line of rails. Scarcely had his
foot touched the ground, when the
down train came up at . speed of fully
twelve miles an hour, and before he
could escape he was struck by the
front of the engine and thrown face
downward between the rails, where he
lay until the entire train-in which
there were nearly score pair of wheels
passed over his PROSTATE body with
out touching it. Beyond a few slight
bruises and scratches, he found himself
little the worse tor his hair-breadth
oacane

A Curious PRAYER.

In the State of Ohio, there resided q
family consisting Of an old man by the
name of Beaver, and three sons and
daughter all of whom are Z" hard pets, :"
who had often laughed to scorn the ad-
vice and entreaties of u pious, though
very eccentric minister, who resided in
the same town. It happened one of the
boys was bitten by rattlesnake, and
was expected to die, when the minister
was sent for in great haste. On his
arrival he found the young man very
penitent and anxious to be prayed with:
the minister calling OH the family, knelt
down and prayed in this wise -" Oh
Lord, we thank thee for rattlesnakes :;
we thank thee because rattlesnake
has bit. him we pray thee send rat
tlesnake to bite John, send one to bite
Bill, send one to bite Sam and one to
give nip, and, o Lord: send the biggest
kind of rattlesnake to bite the old
man, for nothing but rattlesnakes will
ever bring the Beaver family to repen.

They sailed together for seventeen
months in the years 1886 and 81; so
that Captain Clarke had the story from
the mate about eight years after the
occurrence. He has since lost sight of
him, and does not know whether he is

since they were shipmates is, that he
continued to trade in New Brunswick,
that he became the master of the brig

False Cotton Packing.

AA0 41OuoTu 4oIo8I8pu, IN an 6fC1Cle
denouncing the tricks of some Texas
cotton growers, says:
1.-The Superintendent of the City (Cot.
ton) Mills of this vicinity, few days
ago purchased two lots of cotton for the
use of said mills-one Of ten and the
other of two bales. The samples taken
were really beautiful, and good round
price was consequently paid. But
when the cotton was opened for use at
the mills, it was found that the outside
of each bale, as shown us by samples
of both, was layer of this fine cotton,
and the inside under this layer was
composed of most inferior trashy ar.
ticle.
The persons who had put up this
cotton seemed to have done it with the
deliberate purpose to cheat, but the
matter will be traced home to them.
and the law enforced. We also hear of
other similar instances, where sand bv
the shovelfull had evidently been
thrown into the Inside of bales to in.
crease their weight, and still others
where water had been poured around
the centre of the bale to increase the
"OA8ns "Au u1y CO0tOu p1dccu around
it to hide 1t. Aud in late number OF
Flakes Bulletin, cotton buyer pub.
fishes his experience in the following
words.
To give you an example of my own
experience, I may state that out of GOO
bales of cotton bought during the last
fortnight, 1872 bales we're rejected for
being mixed packed, repacked, plated
or country damaged.
Buyers have in such instances shipped
cotton for which reclamation was made
upon them, and they had to pay it or
suffer suit as we'll as in reputation, and
and after paying it, truce it back to the
producers and demand indemnity OF
them. In one instance brought to our
notice, the producer was glad to get of
by paying this indemnity. While we
rejoice that such instances are rare. il
yet is important that our strict law
against such offenders should be en-
forced, and punishment inflicted upon
them without mercy.
