The Scarlet Lily.

A correspondent Of an Oneida exchange
writing from South Augusta, says: Miss
Adell Bartholomew, of this town, has a
rare house plant. known as the king" or
" scarlet lily" which has made an aston
ishing growth during the coolest weather
of this winter. 1. started from the bulb
since New Year. The blades are now a
foot long. growing a double set, one on
each side of the stalk instead of single
cluster on one side, as is the nature of this
variety, while the blossom stem is at least
foot high and already crowned with
precocious bud. which will in few days
expand into one of the most glorious
flowers of the lily family ever seen. On
one of th ose days when the thermometer
was scarcely long enough to mark the
degrees below zero. the stem grew three
lourths of an inch from a. m. to p. m. i.
and from 7 a. m. on Sunday to p. m
on the following Tuesday, it grew five
inches. The plant blossoms the third
year from planting, then annually. but dy-
ing down to the bulb and having a brief
rest after each years growth. The present
bud is the first this plant has produced
and comes far ahead OF the time in con-
sequence of the remarkably rapid growth
of the whole plant in the brieftime stated.

Resolutions.

We hold it TO be absolutely essential to the
preservati Of the liberties of the citizens that
the several States shall be maintained in all
their rights, dignity and equality, as the most
complete and reliable administration of their
own domestic concerns, and the surest bulwarks
against anti-republican tendencies. Every
attempt on the part of the Federal Government
to exercise power not delegated to II in the
Constitution, or to exercise delegated power
in any manner not therein prescribed, is an act
Of usurpation, demanding the instant and I'M
qualified condemnation of people jealous of
their liberties. And we hold that any uncon-
stitutional interference by the General Govern
ment with the local affairs of any State to any
extent or under any pretense whatever should
section of the Union, as all such acts tend to
the destruction of our Federal system and the
consolidation of all power in a centralized des-
potism

To this we do not object. but bid him

him of being otherwise, and you seem to
know 'that the school is being conducted

Fearing. Mr.. Editor, that we will con-
sumo too much Of your valuable space,
we will bring our impromptu remarks
to close, by simply adding, in which all
will agree with US, that the communica>

the school would never have been written.
We mentioned the school in our pre-
vious items as we would mention anything
else. No unkind illusions were made to

rection of an erroneous report; that the
citizens Of this place had no stock in it;
and, l can truthfully assert they never
will have.
No attempts were made to educate

been taken from US, and declare them-
selves to be our equals. if not our supe-
riors, we have none Of that christian re-
ligion Astounding in our souls that tells us
we should mingle with and instruct them.
For we believe there are enough of their
own color who are qualified, and would
be glad to learn them, and we further
more know that the colored people pre-
fer a teacher OF their own color.
We have not become so degenerated
as some would have you think, for we en-
courage education, religion, &c.,-equally
as much so as they who would seek to
mislead your minds against US.
What we have written has not been
done with any malicious intent, nor in
half so unkind a manner as the two
named correspondents have attacked US.
Nor has it been written for any further
controversy, but to show to all that Bea-
yer Dam still lives, and shall ever defend
herself against the world. juno.

Those Women of Warsaw.
ICourier-.JournaI1

The women OF Warsaw, in this State,
have recently met in solemn conelave and
fru lily resolved that henceforth they will
array themselves only in cheap garments.
Calico has already an upward tendency in
Warsaw. But we are afraid, after all,
that this resolve will prove an ephemeral
one. How many such conventions have
met, resolved, and alas, broken all those
resolves on the first favorable opportunity.
Paterfamilias has wreathed his face in
smiles as he perused such resolutions, and
thought OF how his daughters voluntary
loss of her silks, satins and furbelows was
his financial gain. But paterfamilias has
always been mistaken. Much as these
Warsaw heroines are to be admired for
the brave REIMBURSEMENT of their charm-
ing toilets, during these panicky times,
there still turks fear that they will prove,
like their sweet sisters everywhere else.
uncertain, coy, and hard to please"
Only think of wedding-but we forget
there can be no wedding there, for what
blushing bride Of all the Warsaw bellies
will stand before the altar and take the
vows In a calico dress? Ali mol dear ladies
OF Warsaw, your plan is good enough, but
1t always dies in the executionzsYo on can
not get married, you can not 90 away to
your neighboring cities to see ANYBODY
else get married-which is next best thing
to getting married yourself-you know; in
fact, you can not go anywhere in your
calico outfits save to picnics, and even
there how much more delightfully."- cool
and sweet you would look in an elegant
white swiss. Picnics are bores, though,
no matter what you wear, for bugs get
under ones collar, ants in the sandwiches,
and the pickle jar always breaks, and one
has glass and pickles scrambled, which
is not nice. Think of it, dear young
ladies, when you come here to the great
city and see the magnificent toilets on
Fourth street, or at some one ofthe places
of amusement, or even at the churches, do
you not know that you will cry, Throw
calico to the dogs; I'll none of it." Ex-
cellent in principle are the Warsaw resolu
tions; disastrous in execution they must
inevitably prove.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVEN-
TON

The proposed convention to concoct
a new State constitution would cost the
people several hundred thousand dol
lars, and ptobably give us more OBJ
jectionable instrument than the present
one. The way of safety to the Ken
lucky taxpayer is to vote against the
proposition. 1t is true that there are
portions of the present constitution that
conflict with recent amendments to the
Federal constitution, and are therefore
null and void-"dead letter." to speak
after the manner of the lawyers-and
that there are some other portions that
could be decidedly improved upon; but
these defects can all be met and rene
died by amendments adopted by the
Legislature and submitted to the people
for adoption or rejection, at some gen.
eral election, and all this without extra
cost.
We used to have a very good consti-
tuition, much superior to the present
one, but there were lot of fellows in
the State who wanted office, who had
not the capacity to achieve it through
the then existing channels, in conse-
quence of the constitution standing rs
a barrier between them and the coveted
places; and they started the idea of a
new constitution, and hammered away
at it until they induced the majority of
the people of Kentucky to believe that
their temporal and spiritual salvation
depended upon having a new constitu-
ton. Well, they got one. anda precious
bargain it was. Every Office in creation
was made elective, and there is no com,
putting the damage, pecuniary and 9TH
erwise, that has resulted to the foolish
people from it. They cannot afford to
repeat the experiment. Let the pres
ent instrument be amended the super
fuous sections expunged and the object
ionable ones changed. This can all be
done without additional taxation, with
out the trouble and expense of a con-
vention, and the old machine made as
good as new.

The adoption of an emphatic anti
third-term resolution by the Pennsyl-
vania Republican State Convention,
has had the effect of causing the Presi
dent TO show his hand, which he does
in letter to Gen. HARRY WHITE, who
was the Chairman of the Convention.
Stripped of verbiage the letter is as fol,
lows: DEAR SRI consider the ac-
''tiOn of your Convention impertinent.
Il did not seek the first and second
nominations for the office hold, nOr
lido seek a third; but, as | accepted
the others, so would accept the third
nomination, if it is rendered me. Re.

A Wonderful Lightning stroke.

From the st. James La. Sentinel.
Dnring the storm of Monday the 26th
of April, a colored man named Madison,
forty years ofage, born and raised on the
Lapice plantation, and who had never
spoken word IN his life, acquired the
power of speech in strange manner.
During the storm the thunder was ter
rife and the lightning struck three times
in the vicinity where Madison was watch
ing its course AT the third stroke he
seemed so filled with surprise and wonder,
that to the surprise of every one present,
be spoke out his feelings plainly, and from
that time on seemed fully endowed with
the power of articulation.
Strange to say, on the Saturday follow
ing, while lying quietly in bed and in good
health, as was supposed, he quietly died,
after repeating the words, my God
three times.

MR.. CHARLTON H. ASHTON,

OF the Flemingsburg Democrat, is a
candidate for State Senator in his DIS
srict. we hope the convention will be
wise and just enough to give him the
nomination. He will make them a
faithful and efficient public servant
He is sober, industrious, and talented
man. He is well posted in all matters
he would be called to pass upon in the
capacity of Senator. He is a Demo-
crat in whom there is no guile. Be-
sides, the long years of hard and poorly
requited labor he has performed for the
party entities him to the reward he
covets. And it is little enough he asks
at its hands.
