EFFECT oh THE PRESIDENTIAL PARD"S.--
1t is contended by the New York World
that .he late decision Of the Supreme Court
on what is called the Drake Amendment,
in which IL is laid down that the pardon
Of the President restores to the, full rights
Of citizenship, destroys the force and ef-
feet of the l4ih Amendment in excluding
any from holding Office, pardoned by the
proclamation of President Johnson, ex-
cept, as is conceded, each house of Con-
gress might exclude disqualified member
on the ground that each may judge, under
the Constitution of the qualification of its
members. The position, taken by the
World, seems strong legal one, but to
prevent litigation, Congress should at once
pass n universal amnesty bill.

LARGEST STEER In THE WORLD
Jrcob Re- Stultzfuss, of Leacock

Monday, a steer that is said to be
the largest ever fattcned in this

the steer was not iiifly dressed.
The Berks County steer, admitted 4

THE Lancaster County steer, fed
BY John Scner, and admitted by all
to have been fairly dressed, weighed

There was steer brought from
Ohip, and killed in Philadelphia,

The NIode,ty Of Wisdom.

The story sent from the sea by
Agassiz, concerning n queer fish
that launches its home made cradle
and its young to sink or, swim to-
gother, reminds me of my first in.
terview with that enthusia ,lic sol.
yer of natures puzzles. It was; on
board Hudson river steamer lust
twenty years ago that J. put both
my ears ut the service CT Agassiz.
He did all the talking, and | list.
encd tor two hours to the stories he
told about the wonderful things he
had seen. Never was narrative
more picturesque 1t sparkled with
wit, and was rs profound as an
abyss in the Alps. 1t was conver-
sational, and it was learned. 1t
was tho cpitomc of forty ,yqsgs q
diligent study, minute .obOcryation
and tireless energy. ,Agsssiz had

service, which he had undertaken
for the purpose Of discovering the
methods OF the coral family. lie
found the members Of the family at
home, busily engaged in their, do
mcstic avocations, and Introducing
himself without moments hesiig-
tion, hc became the SUPERVISOR Of
their house-buiding operations.
The little creatures, not no big as
atomies, revealed themselves to him
as they never before Wcro revealed
to mortal man. He spoiled his gar.
ments by wading about among the
foundations of tho eoralinc struc-
lures, and he used up microscopes
and notebooks without number;
but in the end he found what he
wanted, came to the North with
his budget Of wonders, and hied to

to give II newspaper correspondent

the way in which came to hear
what he had to say. Agassiz was

rounded figure and easy carriage, an

OF it, and voice which was all tho

any future Winter Of even creator
severity than the present, at m ex-
pense considerably less than the
amount the company has lost dur
ing the last three months from in
tcrruption of travel and incurred
expenditures.
One difficult has been that tho
road passed through a region dosti-
tute of supplies and labor. When
distractions occurred, both these
wero required to be transported
over long distances, and, by long
continued working extra hours and
enduring intense cold, the men, in
somo cases, become disheartcned and
refuse to work, and in numerous
cases they had frozen limbs and
were disabled. Until the weather
shall change, and those storms cease,
it is our expectation to run trains
over tho road, snow trains ahead,
and also with train of provisions
and III sufficient for thirty days
supply. BY this means we expect
to get trains through in from tea to
fifteen days, depending on frequcn-
cy and violence of storms. No
trains will be sent out without this
supply, and although passengers
will necessarily experience annoy
ance of detention, it is intended that
these supplies offuel and provisions
shall be ample for any emergency.
There has beon no suffering for
want Of provisions, nor will there
be any by passengers on this road.
The road is now open from Oma-
ha to Laramie, 572 miles, and from
Washaki TO Ogden, distance 22S
miles. The distractions are bo-
tween Laramie and Washaki. There
are now seven west-bound passen-
ger trains detained near Separation,
which is 20 miles distant from the
western boundary Of tho blockade,
and there are two east-bound pass
enger trains at Green Biver, wait
ing until the west bound trains shall
pass tho blockade. At various
points along the road there are
about 500 west bound cars of freight
and 200 cars of freight cast-bound.
