MELVIN CAREY, of Gilbert's Mill, New York, o
boy aged thirteen, is peculiar in that he spoke
to no one but his parents up to the time he was
sent to school. There he attempted the same
dodge, but his teacher, woman, could see no
reason for voluntary silence, 80 she walloped
him into very interesting conversation, since
which time she has been added to bis limited list
of speaking acquaintance. He is not sullen in
any way, and plays about with other children in
perfect harmony, but never says anything to
them. When he wishes TO call the attention OF
any of his playmates he does it by catching them
by the arm and making gestures. His phe-
nomenal conduct is unexplained. He probably
expects to run for President some day. and does
not want his record brought up. 1t Is evident
that no does not get his taciturn disposition
from his uncle, Sam Carey, of Cincinnati.

1T is a curious feature of the history of the
various amendments proposed 20 the oonstitn-
ton of the United States that two Thirteenth
amendments have been adopted by Congress.
The first was In these terms:
"No amendment shall be made to the consti-
tuition which will authorize or give to Congress
the power to abolish or interfere within any State
with the domestic institutions thereof, including
that of persons held TO labor or service by the
laws of that State"
This amendment was passed in the House, on
the 29th day Of February, 1861, and in the SEN
ate on the I'd Of March, two days before the in
auguration of Lincoln. By its terms it offered
perpetual protection to slavery as the price of
peace The war burst forth, and this amend
ment was not submitted to the States for rati-
fication. The second, and true Thirteenth amend
ment, abolished slavery, and reads:
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, ex-
cept as punishment for crime, whereof the
party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist
within the United States, or any place subject to
Its Jurisdiction.
This amendment passed both houses of Con-
gress on February 1. 1865, and was ratified by
twenty-seven OF the thirGy-six States on the 18th
of December of the same year.

HON. JOHN W. FOSTER says that General Gresh-

does he intend to make the Postmaster general
ship a stepping-stone to the Circuit Court bench,
or TO any other place. Mr. Fosters relations
with General Gresham are such as to stamp this
expression with authority.

REV, j. NJ WALDEN, of the Methodist Book
Concern, who has taken a very prominent part
in the temperance movement in Ohio, wrote a
letter TO meeting held on Thursday night in
Cincinnati in which he gave his views of the
manner in which prohibtionists should conduct
the canvass for the adoption of the proposed
amendment to the constitution The Doctor
said:
81 am glad that these amendments are so
presented, by the action of the Legislature, that
their fullest discussion does not necessarily in
v0lve an issue with either of the great political
parties. A man may vote for either amendment
without reference TO the party vote he may cast
athe same day for State and other officers; be he
Republican or Democrat, he may vote in favor
straight party ticket at the other ballot-b0x. In
view of this fact l sincerely hope that the dis
cuBslOn of prohibition will be confined to the
question at issue, without reference to what
may have been the action of political conven-
lions, the sayings OF political leaders as SUCH or
ture touching the liquor question. We do not
enter this campaign to antdgonize either party
as such, but to reach the whole people with
arguments that ought to convince them that
prohibition is demanded by every interest of the
State"
The ground here taken is solid and wise The
question of prohibition cannot be made a part
isan issue in politics without danger both to
the party that espouses it and to prohibition as
well. The prohibitionist who urges the
espousal of the doctrine by q political party
shows himself short-sighted advocate of his
pet theory, and really an enemy to the cause he
would advance.

of being wrecked upon Tildenism. It utters this
earnest caution to our distinguished felow-cit b
