risdiction. I am not prepared for such
conclusion. i cannot admit that the mere
emancipation Of the black race, and the guar
antee of both the white and black races
against future ensavement, have transferred
to the United States the whole police power
of the States. Such tremendous reyolu-
ton in our system of government Is not to
be assumed without the most explicit Ian
guage.
am inclined to think that the rights
granted and secured by the thirteenth
amendment are not protected by any of. the
statutes heretofore mentioned. All the pro-
lection which the nature Of the rights seems
to require, and which Congress has thought
proper to grant, is to be found in the act
passed as far back as February 5, 1867,
which gives the benefit of the writ Of habeas
corpus to every person who is restrained Of
his liberty contrary to the Constitution Of
the United States. do not mean to say
that Congress may not punish as crime all
attempts to reduce persons to slavery, or all
attempts to exact from persons involuntary
service, except as y punishment for crime.
But what do mean to say Is that neither
the act of May 30, 1870, nor any other act
of Congress, describes in appropriate words
such an offence. We have, however, seen
that the sixth seetio.n of the act of May
30, 1870, declares 1t to be q crime "il

thought from the serious business of
the day, and the nervous system
will then be calmed and soothed, so
as to induce that peace which fore
tells sleep. The devices are many
and curious to win this boon. But
they all amount to the same thing
the diversion of thought from anv
subject that excites mental effort
Hunger and cold are unfavorable to
sleep. Its not so unwhOlesome as
many suppose, to go to bed after a
good supper. The sleep of infancy
always follows it, All dumb ami,
mails eat and then sleep. Reason
forbids gluttony, and reason also
torbids going to bed with a stomach
craving food. Keep the body warm
and head uncovered, so that the
blood may be tempted away from
the brain, and not into it.
Daniel Webster said he bad a
great talent for sleeping. Mr. Pierce,
when he was President of the United
States, said that distracting business
often engaged him until midnight,
but when he laid his head on his
pillow he went instantly to sleep and
did not wake un'il reused by the

John Quincy Adams never went to
sleep at night without first repeat
ing the child's prayer-"Now l lay

being ought to close his eyes in sleep
without it, or something like it, A
good digestion, peace Of conscience
and a cheerful mind, make better
night-cap than pills or tOddy.

Elephant LaBOrers.

piled in Burmah Let Us watch

yards, where the trunks of the tick
wood trees, which come floating
down the river, are piled Every
working elephant is mounted by a
driver called a "cornac," whose
principal business is rather to ex-
cite the animal than to direct it., In
the season when the roads are eat;
the trunks come 4dogR to the bar
much faster than they can be dis
posed of in tie saw mills, and they
accumulate in vast quantities along
the bank. 1t is necessary, therefore,
to drag the trees out of the water,
and arrange them in piles until such
a time as they can be cut up. There
are only three sorts of piles, vary
ing witb the sizes of the trees. First
an elephant in the water clears the
logs from the leass, and ranges them
one by one upon the river bank. He
carefully examines the chaos of logs
and proceeds with tusk and trunk to
disengage thu tree he has selected,
and which he intends to carry to
land. As soon as the tree is placed
on the bank another elephant is haTs
messed to it and draws it 10 the
woodward, where he leaves it. Two
other elephants now come up, and
one of them takes one end of the
log in his trunk and drags it to the
pile upon which, in view of its size,
it ought to be placed, while its com
panion assists him by pushing the
log with all his might. As soon as
they reach the proper pile, the first
elephant lifts the top of the log up
on the pile, then he forms kind of
ring around the log with his trunk,
while the other, with a vigorous
blow of the head, sho2ts the log in
to its place. The intelligence dis-
played by these animals is ailaost in
credible, and we should SCARCELY
have believed it if we had not seen
their movements as described above.

A NOTABLE OMISSION.

We have been expecting for several days
to see in the columns of one orr the other
of our local Cassandras the charge that
the Republican party is responsible for
the recent heavy rains and the consequent
overflow But either from feeling of
lnagnanimity or a relaxation of zeal and
vigilance, all are silent in that quarter.
Charges which are quite as absurd are
daily made against the Republican party,
Governor Kellogg, President Grant and
Congress- But they have, with singular
forbearance, let the overflow subject alone,
that is no attempt has been made to man
ufcture political capital out of that
calamity. 1t affords US us pleasure to
notice this omission. Nearly every calam-
ity, loss, inconvenience or source of dis
quiet has been laid at the door of the Re-
publican party, and some of the most
notorious malpractices of the Democracy
have been credited to our account by the
recording spirits of Fusion.
Republicanism may be the passive cause
Of some of the troubles which a part of
the people have brought upon themselves.
Those who have resolved from time to
time to root out Republicanism from the
whole State or perish in the attempt have
come very near experiencing the alterna-
tive. But as no one made war upon them,
only repealed attack, they have only
themselves to blame for their mishaps.
There has been delusive hope sometimes
expressed in print, that the Republicans
here are on their last legs. As they have
been in that position, according to the
oracles for about seven or eight years, ID
would be safe to assume that such last
legs are very enduring. The fact that the
overflow has not been charged up against
us cheers us. 1t makes US hope that our
late detractors are about to make an
attempt to be ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS turn
and cease to beat their silly
brains out against impregnable walls.
