TIE following are extracts from the
Know Nothing speeches Of Henry Wilson,
nee jeremiah ColbaiLh, in Massachusetts in
1854:
',The time has come when the uniform
of the State militia should no longer be dis
graced by being seen en- the back Of Cath
Ole Irishman or an Infdel Dutchman."
sBy the light of these burning shanties,
the Teuton and Celt may be read the doom
that will overtske them, in the attempt to
compete with the native born American
for political supremacy on this CONT
uant."
What do cur Irish and German fellow
citizens think Of these Utterances Of the
Grant candidate for Vice President?

UNDER recent law passed by the Legis-
lsture of New Yoik, Gov. Hoffman has ap-
pointed Commissioners to propose amend
ments to the Constitution of that State.
Sixteen of these Commissioners are Demo
Gratis and sixteen Rerublicans-the latter
having been suggested to the Governor by
the Republican Senators from the several
judicial districts. This arrangement insures
the exclusion OF partisanshiP from their
work, and renders it probable that the re
suit will be acceptable 20 the next Legisla-
ture, whatever party is in power. If the
Legislature approve Of the proposed amend
ments, they will then be submitted to the
people for final action.

there lived a gentleman Of indolent habits in
Sussex, who made a business, in the Water
season, of visiting his friends extensively
After wearing out his welcome in his own
immediate vicinity last winter, he thought
be would visit an old Quaker friend, some
twenty miles distant, who had been school,
fellow of his. On his arrival he was cordi-
ally received by the Quaker, he thiukiag his
visitor had taken much pains to come SO fer
to sec him. He treatel his friend with
great attention and politeness for several
days, and as he did not see any signs Of his
leaving, he became uneasy, but he bore it
with patience till the morning of the eighth
day, when he said to him:
"My friend, am afraid thee will never
visit me again" --..
''Oh, yes, I SHALL" said the visitor; 81
have enjoyed my visit very much l shall
certainly come again"
"Nay," said the Quaker, 81 think thee
will not visit me again"
"What makes you think will Eot come

A State Ruled by Women.

Among the Holland possessions there is
remarkable little State which, in its consti-
tuition and the original customs of its inhab-
tants, suapasses the boldest dreams of Amer
lean emancipation ladies'. Upon the island
of Java, between the cities of Batavia and
Samarang, lies the little kingdom of Bantam
Although tributary to Holland, it is an H.
dependant State, politically without impor-
lance, yet happy, rich, and since time i'm
memorial & overned and defended by women.
The sovereign is indeed man, but all the
rest of the government belongs to the fair
sex. The King is entirely dependent upon
his state council composed of three women.
The highest authorities, all State officers,
court functienarles, military commanders,
and soldiers, are without exception, of the
female sex. The men are agriculturists
and merchants The body-gua:d OF the
sKing is formed OF the female ezite These
amazons ride in the masculine style, wearing
sharp steel points instead Of spurs. they
carry pointed lance, which they swing very
gracefully, and also musket, which is dis
charged at full gallop. The throne is in
herited by the eldest son, and il case the
King dies without issue hundred elected
amazons assemble, in order to choose sue
cessor from among their own sops. The
chosen one is then proclaimed lawful King.
The capital city of this little State lies in
one of the most picturesque parts of the

won't at Weehawken. Clinton was then OPP
posing Aaron Burr, and Swartwout accused
him Of being actuated in his opposition only
by personal and selfish motives.
HE is liar, scoundrel and william"
exclaimed the hot-headed Clinton.
A challenge followed, and the duel was
fought. I suppose that it was the most re-
markable affair of the kind that ever occur
ed-out of ireland. The first fire doing
no harm to either antagonist, one of the Sec
onds asked Swartwout if he was satisfied.
Il am not, said he, with more bluntness
than courtesy

The men fired third time without effect,
when the same gentleman again politely
asked MIR. Swartwout if he was satisfied
Il am not" was the reply, ''neither shall

mand. Until then we must proceed"
Swartwout's second then presented pa.
per containing the apology demanded for
Clinton's signature, saying: "We cannot
spend our time in conversation. This pa
per must be signed, or proceed

ject," said Clinton, with frmness and digni-
ty. II have no luminosity against Mr..

and agree to meet on the score of former

The fourth ire then took place, when
Clinton's bal struck his obstinate antagonisc
in the left leg below the knee.
care you SATISFIED, sir ?" the wounded
man was again asked.
Standing firmly at his post, he answered:
cit is useless to repeat the question. My
determination is fixed, and l beg we may
proceed"
While the surgeon was extracting the ball
from the opposite side of Swartwout's leg,
Clinton again declared that he had no ami
mostly against 5wartwout, that he was sor-
ry for what lad passed, and was willing to
go forward, shake hands, and bury the cir
cumstances in oblivion. Swartwout, how
ever, standing erect at his place, insisted
upon the written apology. A fifth time
they fired, and Clinton's ball struck his an
tagonist in the same leg, a little below the
former wound.

ond.
Il am not, sir! !" replied swartwout

Clinton then left his station, threw down
his pistol. and declared that he would fight
no more.
Whereupon Swartwout. turning to his Sec
ond, asked what he should do, to which the
second replied
"There is nothing left for you no., but
to have your wounds dressed"
So the combat ended, and the two parties
returned in their barges to the city.
Such was Clinton at thirty. three, when he
had already been a member of the Legisla-
ture, and was about to enter the Senate of
the United States. He was brave to rash.
ness, and ambitious beyond measure but
he lived up to the standard of his day, and
acquitted himself of every trust with honor
aud distinction.

ORIGIN OF FooLscAp PApER.-The term
foolscap, to designate a certain kind Of pa
per, no doubt has puzzled many an inquirer.
The origin is not only amusing but histori-
cal. Charles I. of England granted numer-
GUS monopolies for the support of the Gov
eminent. Among others was the manufac-
ture of paper. The water mark of the finest
sort was the royal arms Of England. The
consumption of this article was great, and
and large fortunes were made by those who
had purchased che exclusive right to vend it.
This, among other monopolies, was set aside
by the Parliament that brought Charles I.
to the scaAold and, by way of slowing
contempt for the king, they ordered the roy
al arms from the paper, and fool, with his
cap and bells, to be substituted Il Is now
over two hundred years since the FOOLS cap
was taken from the paper, but still the pa
per of the size which tho rump Parliament
ordered for their journals, bears the name
of the water-mark placed there as indignity
to Charles.
