Patrick Heury, in his speech before the
Virginia Convention OF 1879, during the
debate on the acceptance of the Federal
Constitution, the powers Of the Government
being under discussion, said: "Sir, the
military power ought not 10 interpose till
the civil power refused. IL this be the
spirit OF your new Constitution that the
laws are to be enforced by military coercion,
we may easily divine the happy conse-
quences which will result from it.
Man is Il fallen creature, fallible being,
and cannot be depended on without SELF
love. Your president will not have the
same motives OF self-loye to impel him to
favor your interest. His political character
is but transient, and he will promote as
much as possible his private interests.
In 1858 the British nation expelled their
monarch for attempting to trample on their
liberties. The doctrine OF divine right
and passive obedience, said to be com
manded by heaven, was inculcated by his
aninions and adherents. He wanted to pos
sess, without control, the sword and purse.
The attempt cost him his crown. This
Government demands the same powers.
[ see reason to be more and more alarmed.
L fear it aciN terminate IN deSpottS'n."
Patrick Henry appears to have possessed a
dark forethought OF Grantism.

A STRANGE SToRY.-A rich lady in the
Faubourg st. Honore recently found her
sell growing very i'll, and the doctor
pronounced her to be suffering from some
slow poison. She rejected this idea as abb
surd, but on rising one morning found
glass of water which was usually placed by
her bedside to be discolored by white,
tilmy powder. On showing this to the doc
tor he at once declared it to be arsenic. All
inquiries failed to detect the culprlt, and
the next night madame tiled the glass her
self, and kept careful watch that no one
meddled with it. Nevertheless, in the morn
ing the white powder again made its APP
pearance, and the doctor was fairly at his
wits end to find the real cause. Finally he
discovered that his patient was in the habit
OF reading in bed, and for that reason cam
dies were kept burning all night in her
room. These candles, OF a dazzling white
ness, had been strongly impregnated with
arsenic in the bleaching process, and the
arsenic becoming volatilzed by the COM
bustion, poisoned the air OF the bedroom.

as ire.proof suit OF extraordinary merit,
invented by Swede named Oestberg, has
recently been exhibited at Vienna i'll the
presence OF the Emperor and several other
distinguished personages and men OF SCI
encn. On this occasion Captain Ahlstrum,
clothed in the suit, deliberately walked into
an immense fire, prepared for the purpose,
OF wood saturated with petroleum. Ac-
cording to the account given OF this test the
heat OF the fire was so intense that no one
else could approach within eighty PAGES
without being absolutely burnt or scorched,
but Ahlstrum walked around in the glow
ing pile perfectly undisturbed, leaning on
the burning wood, and finally, with the
same equanimity as well as entire uncon-
sciousness Of danger, seating himself snugly
on the live Goals. After thus remaining in
the fire quarter of an hour the saamander
came out as perfectly unframed as when he
went in.
