OVERCOME RECONSTRUCTION.

from the Indlanapois J0urnal-Senator M0rtOn'a
0rgan.l
In view of this SLOW progress 1T is worth while
for congress to consider whether It has not made
the mistake OF interfering too much In the afrairs
OF the Southern States and OF OVERRIDING the work
OF reconstruction. The best thing Congress can do
with Arkansas, and with every other state, unless
clearly called upon by the requirements Of the
sttution TO interfere, Is TO severely let them alone.
WHAT the people oi the south want ~ rest aud

reference. The condition OF afYars IN some Of
those olates ~ certainly very Dad but the inter-
terence pohcy does not seem to help them much,
snd we should ike TO see the let alone policy tried

A SLIGHT MIsTAKE.-There is @ magis- trate in town in Indiana, named Helser. A clergyman in the same place was called upon by young couple, not long since, who wished him to join them in the holy bonds of matrimony. He asked the bride groom Ca soldier, by the way,) for hts mar riage license The man in blue responded that he had been engaged to the girl for four years, and thought that would do. Tue clergyman thought not, and remarked, as the speediest way to obtain license : "You had better take your girl, and go to Helser!" "You go to hell yourself" re- tortcd the angry veteran. And seizing the bride by the arm, he dragged her from the house, wondering at what manner of pro fane minister he had met with.

WESTERN IRELAND.
BY T. FRANK N'aRATH.

That Western Ireland abounds in scenery a wild and grand as can be found in any part of the civilized world, any reader who has eyer travelled there will admit Here and there along it's shore juts of rock pro ject far out into the sea, and the scantily clad hills by the shore look scarcely more naked than do these juts, 50 dangerous to vessels, yet 90 conducting to the natural wildneas of ths landscape. Curious forma- uons are to be found among these rocky hsadlands, and thorough geological re- search may bring to light interesting facts before hidden from the public. l have my self seen. when soujourning there, tho i'm print of human leg and foot-from the knee down plainly discernible on the smooth rock where the waves of the Allan tic washed over day after day, but with no effect on the impression save wearing 1t deeper by the almost continual motion ot the small pebbles, which the water had washed into the cavity.
