Interesting Letter from Prof. Harris.
Correspondence of The Richmond Dispatch.]

What treat it would be in this far-of
land to read your familiar columns. AS
that may not be, the next best thing is to
write word for them. 1t must be very
hasty, for the Apollo, which Is to take US to
Smyrna, is now in the bay and will sail in
the course OF few hours. They do not
have wharves over here, but steamers lie
half mile out and passengers have to get
off to them in row-boats. 1t is therefore
necessary to start from shore an hour or so
before the vessel is appointed to sail.

A CURIOUS experiment has been tried
with buttermilk by testing it against
claret. One who is in the secret will
bet with one. who is not the latter, if
blindfolded, cannot distinguish claret
from buttermilk by the taste. Several
glasses are filled with claret, and an
equal number with buttermilk, and
they are handed alternately to the
blindfolded person, who tastes them.
For time he will name the respective
liquors correctly; but after awhile his
sense of taste becomes confused, and
he insists that buttermilk is claret,
and vice versa.

were earnestly discussing whether the
silver advocates could poll two
thirds vote in both houses after Hayes
should veto the silver bill; now they
are anxiously inquiring whether
Hayes means to veto it at all, with
but little to justify the hope that the
de facto executive will interpose be-
tween the people and the object of
their desire. Hayes will not veto the
bill, unless all the information ahoat,

JEREMIAH s. BLACK ON THE
CHINESE.

C4lN ESQ
He Says that Our Public Mem Pay
More Attention to the Bur.
lingame Treaty Than 1t Deserves.
rs. +. Stock Rsportl
A morning paper having sought
the opinion of Hon. ]. s. Black on
the same subject recently referred to
by General Butler, viz: the Chinese,
and the right of the State to regu-
late them, that gentleman replies in
brief note, in which he says:
ut is certainly true that the State
can make such police regulations as
she thinks best for the protection of
her business interests, as we'll as the
life and health of her people. That
is one of the State rights which
General Butler and his late party did
not permanently abolish. But in ex-
ercising this power there is danger
of running against that provision OF
the Federal Constitution which gives
Congress the exclusive authority to
regulate foreign and interstate COM
MERGE. 1 cannot perceive, however,
that the impulse of General Buffers
opinions would carry Legislation be-
yond the true line. l think General
Butler, as we'll as some other public
men, pay more respect to our I'M
fortunate treaty with China than it
deserves. A domestic regulation or
a Federal statute if consistent with
the Constitution is not void because
it conflicts with treaty"
There is not much in this opinion
to double-lead and make fuss about.
Judge Black is about as non-commit-
tai as it is possible for man with as
clear a head, and with such pro-
nounced views on most subjects, to
be. The State, he says, can make
such police regulations as she thinks
best for the protection of her bust
ness interests, but in exercising this
power care should be taken not to
run against the Constitutional pro-
vision that permits Congress to be
the sole arbiter of questions affect
ing foreign and interstate commerce.
That is just where the trouble comes
in, Judge. How are we to regulate
the Chinese nuisance without run
ming against the Constitution 2 That
is what we want to find out. The
last sentence is a little more pro-
nounced. "A domestic regulation,
or Federal statute, if consistent
with the Constitution is not void be-
cause it conflicts with treaty."
Then do we understand, Judge, that
any State can at any time pass law
that in its operation directly conflicts
with a treaty That is strange
doctrine. The Executive may make
treaty and the Senate ratify it. But
if any particular State doesn't like
the treaty, it can say, Oh we won't
stand that and at once pass law
that renders the treaty imperative,
so far as that State is concerned. Is
not that Judge Blacks position Z If
it Is then there is defect some
where in the machinery of our Gov
eminent that needs overhauling, if
we would avoid serious foreign COM
plications.

 ED ENQ.-Georgie son of Garwood B.
 Judd, went to a small enclosure on Thursday noon to catch horse and lead to the stable ]; when the animal, which was advancing to meet him, suddenly wheeled and gave him tremendous kick, so that the blow was heard by young man in the street who went i'm mediately to his assistance. He picked mp the little fellow and carried him in an insensi- ble state to the house, his brains mingling with the blood that issued from the wound. A la- dy who saw the occurrence from window, said the horse trotted away after giving the kick, but returned and seized Georgie's cap which had been left on the ground, and shook it viciously. Probably if he had not been seen and removed, he would have been tram pied to death. The horse was considered as gentle as lamb, and the little fellow had been in the habit of harnessing and driving him all by himself without the thought of danger by any one. His senses were partially restored in a few hours, but he cannot yet recollect words to express his wants, and it is curious to watch how, from time to time, word will recur to him which he has before vainly tried to speak. Water he still calls "wet'' but most that he says is unintelligible. Aremark- ably good constitution may carry him through the crisis, but fears as yet outweigh the hopes.

Naugatuck.

The snow of Monday, the 9th, followed by heavy rain storm on Tuesday caused fresh. ct in the Naugatuck valley which has done much damage. A new two story tenement, standing partly on wall in the river was un. dermined and dropped into the river about 3 a. m. It fell to pieces, and mush of it went down stream, together with most of the house held goods The families left the house about o'clock, the evening previous. to be out of danger, but no efIert was made to save the contents of the house.
 Two horses, 8 COW, pigs, chickens, black smith shop, and other smaller matters, came floating down stream with the flood. Roads were badly washed, and will cost large sum to put them in good condition. The railroad bridge at Seymour is gone. causing irregulari ty in time of trains. Passengers and freight are conveyed around the break by teams Ii is expected that the cars will be able to make through trips before the week closes.
