that FUNNY COLUMN.

[Camden Post
A city paper thought It must do ike
its neighbors and have paragraph
column. 1t advertised for the right
sort of man 10 this way: Wages no
object; good looks not desirable; good
sense not expected" The man came
and went to work. One column was
his task, and he furnished it. 1t looked
we'll as printed. and the publisher
hoped for good results. During the
following day plaiu-looking farmer
came In and asked the editor for the
man who wrote that column. The
paragrapher was speedily summoned.
You are the author of this column.

II owe you debt which can only

which I insist on you taking as an

The man of paragraphs took it and
asked what was the especial cause Of
gratitude.
The farmer said: "You saved my
brothers. life after he had been given
up by the doctor It was this way: He
was taken last Monday with q fit of
laughing Mysteries. which got worse
and worse. We had tried everything
in vain; had taken him to funerals and

we could hear of. but still he laughed
and laughed. Medicine was equally
useless and there seemed nothing bat

mouth stretched twice its usual width.

and by the time had got half through

has never laughed since, and l don't be-

gratitude. Is it not enongh?" The

MEETING OPPOSITION.

Senator Window of Minnesota, origi
rated a scheme for colonizing colored
people in the Territories. It is init.
mated that he was not actuated 90
much by desire to benefit the colored
ceople as to reduce Southern represen.
tatives in Congress. He has been
aided and abetted 10 this movement by
apeculators, who have induced large
numbers of colored people to leave the
land of their birth in Mississippi aud
Louisiana. and emigrate to the North.
Nearly thousand poor negroes. the
dupes of these spectators. have arrived
at st. Louis. Missouri. where they are
in destitute condition. bit Window is
probably satisfied. as it tends to reduce
Southern representation.
Now comes Fred Douglass. however.
aud interposes objections to the coloni-
cation scheme. He says the negroes in
the South are yet to receive the same
treatment accorded their race in the
North. as human progress is not con
fned to any particular part of the
country. while if placed in territory
peopled exclusively by them. they
would meet the fate that has overtaken
the Indians. OF the sincerity of Fred.
Douglass to better the condition of his
race there is no doubt. and the negroes
row incline to bis view of the situation.
The project of colouizing Idaho Terri
tory with colored men from South
Carolina and Louisiana is therefore
abandoned, aud if those who invested
their all in reaching St Louis. where
many of them. homeless and penniless.
are thrown upon the charity of the
public. were again in the land they
were induced by false representations
to leave. it would be difficult for Sen
ator Window or any other self.styled
philanthrophist to convince them that
their condition could be materially i'm.
proved by investing the last dollar of
their earnings in emigrating to the
North.

A HOTEL-LOS5 OF LIFE.
Hagerstown, Md, May 29.-About two
o'clock this morning, a fire was discovered
in the lower floor Of the Washington house
IN this place. Before the alarm could be
given the fire had gained such headway that
the flames rushed up the stairwaya, COM
pletely cutting off all retreat. There were
upwards Of ,sixty persons on the register,
besides regular boarders, nearly all of whom
were compelled to escape by climbing down
the porch pillars. Several Of those who es-
capped in this way sustained serious injuries
by falling. One man made rope out OF his
bed clothing, and attempted 10 escape in
,, that way from the fourth story. The rope
broke as he reached the third floor, and he
is in very critical condition. A child Of
the agent Of the Cumberland Valley rail
road, while climbing down the porch from
the fourth floor fell, and is supposed to be
fatally injured. Two bodies have been
found in the rufus burned TO a crisp Ont

this bill is approved, only the shadow of
authority Of the United States at national
elections will remain the substance will be
gone. Supervision of elections will be re.
dnced TO mere inspection, without authority
on the part Of supervisors to do any act
whatever to make the election fair one.
All that will be left to the supervisors is
permission to have such oversight Of cleo
tions US political parties are in the habit Of
exercising without any authority of law, in
order to prevent their opponents from OBJ.
tanning unfair advantages. The object of the
bill is 10 destroy any control whatever by
the United States over elections. The
passage of this bill has been urged upon
the ground that the election of members of
congress is matter which concerns the
state alone; that the selections should be
controlled exclusively by the states that
there are and can be no such elections az
national elections that the existing law Of
the United States regulating congressional
elections is without warrant in the constitu-
ton. Ii is evident however, that the
trainers Of the constitution regarded the
election of members of congress in every
district in very important sense-justly a
matter Of political interest and concern to
the whole country. The original provision
Of the constitution on this subject was as
follows:
Section 4, Article l. The times, places
and manner of holding elections for senators
and representatives shall be prescribed in
each state by the legislature thereof, but
congress may at any time by law make OF
alter the statutory regulations except as to
the places of choosing senator's.
A further provision has been since added
and is embraced in the 10Th amendment.
is as follows:
Section 1.-'rhe right Of citizens Of the
United States to vote shall not be denied O
abridged by the United States or by an,
state on account Of race, colors or prev
ious condition of servilude.
Section 90 The congress shall hav
power to enforce this article by appropriat,
legislation.
Under the general provisions Of the con
stitution, section 4. article l, congress il
1866 passed comprehensive law whicl
prescribed full and detailed regulations 70
the election of senators by the legislature
of the several states This law has becn i
force almost 13 years. In pursuance Of
all of the members of tie present congress
hold their seats. Its cnns,ilutionallty is nc
called in question. 1t is confidently bt
lieved that no argument can be made il
support OF the conslitutionality of natioha
regulation of senatorial elections wEicl
will not show that the election Of mem
Ders OF the house OF representatives ma
also be constitutionally regulated BY n
tional authority.

FELls DOMEsTIeA.
A Good Thing on the Cat.

From the Phila. Times.
When scientific men meet for the dis
cussion of purely scientific subjects,
their essays generally possess little in
terest for the ordinary public. This is
partly owing to the great number of
pholysyllabic words used by the scient-
lists, and partly to the fact that the sub
jects selected are not in all cases those
in which the people think they have a
living interest. Few car about read
ing essays on the structure of the meta
tarsal arch of the m~egatherium, OF list
ening to discussions concerning the
spots in the sun, the holes in the moon
or the latest style in which Saturn
wears his belt. But when science can
stoop to handle such a common object
as the cat, the public becomes an inter-
ested stakeholder. And even thoughtful
science, 10th to depart from her usual
stately methods, may speak of this
animal as the felis dom,estica, yet the
public consents to refrain from quarrel
ing as to a mere matter of Technology,
and waits with interest to know what
science will make Of the cat.
1t was long ago known that black
cats were useful in the development OF
the electric spark. Without black cats
Franklin and Morse might have re-
manned in a midnight Of ignorance as to
electrical affairs, and the network Of
telegraph wires which now $ our
city officials such b~otheration might
never have been erected. The yellow
