sound of the devouring element, and the
voice of human suffering or fear, the
noise was enough to wake the dead.
Henry Ashton thought of his port
manteau, and wondered where his
servant was but seeing, by number
of people driven back from the great
staircase by flames, that there was no

by smaller one, and i'm minute or

this time had arrived; an immense
crowd was gathering together, the
terrified tenants of theinn were rushing
forth, and in the midst Henry Ashton
remarked one young woman wiring her
hands, and exclaiming, "Oh, my poor
young mistress my poor young lady ~
"Where is she, my good girl?" de
manded the young soldier.
''In number eleven,' cried the girl,

within the setting-room, and she will
never hear the noise.''

through the lower windows of which
the flames were pouring forth; and

one of the walters; "you had better not

Henry Ashton darted away into the
inn; up the staircase; but the corridor
was on fire, as the man had said, and
the flames rushed up to the very door of
the rooms he had lately tenanted. He
rushed on, however, recollecting that he
had seen side door out of his own

The Hunting Mania IN England.

r.. va 90 4
WE may here notice one of the most
anomalous features of hunting ETH
quette, which consists in this, that if
a man does not hunt at all, hunting
men do not consider his conduct
strange; but, should he hunt only once
week, they look upon his doing so as
sort Of disgrace. They seem to inn
agine that, if any one ever hunts, he
would certainly like to hunt at least
four days week, and that his not
doing so arises either from stinginess
or from the slenderness Of his purse.
Some men ale miserable if they can
not make up the quota of days hunt
ing every week which they consider
sufficient. Five days hunting, and a
considerable sense Of fatigue, Will not
prevent them from going long dis
lance, and that at considerable incon-
venience, to hunt on the sixth. Aud
this they do for TIE sole object Of being
able to say that they hunt every day.
In fact, some men hunt six days week
with the regularity of the treadmill,
and would doubtless hunt on the Sun
days also were it possible to do so.
We certainly hope that the day may
be distant when hunting shall cease to
be favorite national sport: for. even
when carried to some excess, it forms
better pastime for the wealthy than
many of the diversions of our Conti-
rental neighbors; but when we find
wives stinted on account of the horses
of their husbands, the whole course of
society deranged by reason Of hunting
arrangements, and the bulk of CONVEX
sation devoted for months to this one
topic, we cannot help wishing that, in
the pursuit of our favorite sport, lit
tie of that moderation might be used
Which is advisable in all things. Lon

Nothing Like "s Science"

One day last summer an old farmer
and wife were in Detroit photograph
gallery to have some pictures taken OF
the wife. Before proceeding to business
the farmer took the artist aside and
contidentially observed: pa hHsA
"The old lady was bound to come.
and l couldn't prevent, but now I
want you to do me a favor. She's
got ears like COW, and the biggest
mouth / ever saw on woman. Her
picture would be laughing-stock for
all the children, and l know she'd be
sorry when too late. Tell her that
she'll take the best in cold weather,
and then IN fix the rest
The artist performed his errand,
and the woman went away both dis
appointed and pleased. The other day
when old zero was just bowling HIM
self hoarse, the same pair returned to
the gallery, and the farmer seated his
wife as far from the stove as possible
and ordered her to be "taken' at once.
AS the artist hurried to obey, the
farmer cOrnered him and whispered
Magnificent and unbounded sue

lice. In all periods Of history controversies
have arisen as TO the succession or choice ef
chiefs of States, and no party or citizen low
ing their country and its free Institutions can
sacrifice too much OF mere feeling in pre-
serving, through the upright course of law,
their country from the smallest danger to its
peace on such an occasion, and it cannot be
impressed 700 firmly In the hearts of all pco-
pie that true liberty and real progress can

Constitutional law
The bill purports to provide only for the
settlement Of questions arising from the re-
cent elections. The fact that such questions
can arise demonstrates the necessity, which
I cannot doubt will before long be supplied,
of permanent general legislation to meet
cases which have not been contemplated in
the Constitution or the laws of the country.
The bill may not be perfect, and Its provis-
ions may not be such as would be best ap.
plicable to all future occasions, but IL Is cal
culated to meet the present condition Of ques-
lions and of the country. The country is agi-
tated Itneeds and 1t desires peace and quiet
and harmony between all parties and all sec.
tons. Its industries are arrested, labor unem-
ployed, capital idle, and enterprise para
lyzed, by reason Of the doubt and anxiety
attending the uncertainty of double claim
to the Chief Magistracy Of the Nation. 1t
wants to be assured that the result of the
election will be accepted without resistance
from the supporters of the disappointed
candidate, and that its highest officer shall
not hold his place with questioned title Of
right. Believing that the bill will secure
these ends, give it my signature.

ally presented Of communicating in this
mode my approval Of the act to provide FOL
and regulate the counting OF the votes fol
President and vice-President and the decs.
ion Of the questions arising thereon, because
of my appreciation Of the imminent peril to
the institutions Of the country from which,
in my judgment, the act affords wise and
Constitutional means of escape.
For the first time in the history Of our
country, under the Constitution as ii now is
dispute exists with regard to the result of
the election of the Chief Magistrate Of the
Nation. 1t is understood that upon the dis
position OF the disputes touching the Elect.
oral votes cast at the late election by one OF
more of the States depends the question
whether one or the other OF the candidates
for the Presidency is the lawful Chief Mag
istrate. The importance of having clearly
ascertained, by procedure regulated by law,
which of the two citizens has been elected
and Of having the right to this high Office
recognized and cheerfulH agreed to by all
the people Of the Republic, cannot be over
estimated, and leads me to express to Con.
gress and to the Nation my great satisfac.
ton at the adoption OF a measure that az
fords an orderly means OF decision Of the
gravely exciting questions.
While the history Of our country in its
earlier periods, shows that the President OF
the Senate has counted the votes and de-
claied their standing, our whole history
shows that in no instance OF doubt or dis
pute has he exercised tie power Of deciding,
and that the two houses OF Congress have
disposed of all such doubts and disputes,
although in no instance hitherto have they
been such that their decision could essen.
italy have effected the result. For the first
time, then, the Government OF the United
States is now brought to meet the question
as one vital TO the result, and this under con-
ditioDs not the best calculated to produce an
agreement or to induce calm feeling in the
several branches OF the Government, or
among the people Of the country. In a
case where, as now, the result Is in
voyed, it is the highest duty OF the
law making power to provide in advance
q Constitutional, orderly and just
method of executing the Constitution
ia this most interesting and critical
clause Of rs provisions. The doing SO,
so far from being compromise Of right, is
an enforcement of the right and an execu
ton of the powers conferred by the Con-
stitution on Congress. / think that this
orderly method has been secured by the bill,
which, appealing to the Constitution and
law as a guide in ascertaining the rights,
provides means of deciding questions of
Single returns through the direct action of
Congress, and In respect to double returns
by a tribunal of inquiry whose decisions
stand unless both houses of Congress shall
concur in determining otherwise, thus
securing definite disposition of all ques-
tious OF dispute in whatever aspect they
may a.ise, with or without THIS law.
