Chicago Speech July 10, 1853.

"My friend has said that am poor
hand to quote Scripture. will try it
again, however. 1t is said in one of the
admonitions of our Lord, AS your Father
in heaven is perfect, be ye also perfect.
The Saviour, 1 suppose did not expect
any human creature could be perfect as
the Father in heaven, but he said AS
your Father in heaven is perfect, be ye also
perfect He set that up as standard, and
he who did most in reaching that standard
attained the highest degree of moral perfec-
tion. So say in relation to the principle
that all men are created equal, let 1t be us
nearly reached as we can. If we cannot
give freedom to every creature, let us do
nothing that will impose slavery upon any
other Creature.o

The monster that crossed my path com
ing from the jungle of newspapers was
grammar, and the dreadful rules of 1t, and
tho shocking parts of speech of 1t, and the
mournful parsing that seemed constantly
to mo gibberish gnbbled in some unknown
country for an unspeakanle purpose-all
this brought upon me great unhappinoss.
There was not a summer school in our
sclioolhouso, but there was one in dis
trict adjacent, and 1 had a good aunt liv-

at aunts when the heat was too great or

study grammar, and worst of all had a
reputation to sustain, for l was the cham

grammar with arithmetic, and became
sadly acquainted with tho multiplication

he gave mo slash or two not so hard as

failings to learn about grammar troubled
my soul. I must be grievously at fault,
and my first duty was not to toll my mother
and wound her gentle spirit, and l did
not, but bore up bravely, though nearly
broken hearted, for n month, when moth

been whipped, and l was instantly taken
from the school and comforted. 1 had,

Gentlemen, suppose all the property
you were worth was in gold, and you had
put it in the hands of Blondin to carry
across the Niagara river on rope, would
you shake the cable or keep shouting out
to him. "Blondin, stand up a little
straighter; Blondin, stoop little more;
go little faster; lean little more to the

No, you would hold your breath as well as

Japanese Launchings.

Tho Japanese apply one of their many
"pretty ways" to the launching of ships.
They use no wine. They hang over the
ships PROV large pasteboard cage full
of birds, and the moment the ship is afoat
a man pulls string, the cage opens, and
the birds fly away, making the air alive
with music and the whir of wings. The
idea is that the birds welcome the ship as
she begins her career as a thing of life.

ALEXANDER ISLAND.
The Matter of JurisdictiOn-A sug-
gestion.

A Washington special to the Baltimore
Sun says:
The exclusive Jurisdiction Of the United
States extends at least five miles from
the Capitol in every direction, except
on the southwest, where the exclusive
Jurisdiction expires within less than TWO
miles, for the jurisdiction OF virginia
is concurrent with that of the Federal
District upon the waters OF the potomac.
The change in the jurisdiction maze oy
act OF Congress, which returned 10 VIZ
ginia in 1877 the territory which had been
coded in 1859. has rendered possible the
existence Of the gaming places OF Alex
ander Island, almost In slght OF the po'-
ticos of the Capitol.
There is absolutely no chance that any
court will declare Alexander Island 10 De
within the Jurisdiction Of the District
authorities. There IL no likelihood That
the county authorities or Alexandra
county. with little population ana HSht
revenue will ever be able to maintain a
sufficient police force TO outwit or over
awe the throngs which use Jackson Clty
and it's neighborhood for sports made
penal by acts OF Congress. The only
practicable remedy for this state OF
ihings is the purchase of Alexander
Island by tne tiite' 49, -. :,
let only separates the upper portion OF
the island from the Arlington tract, which
is already governed by the Unitel
States under the same clause OF the Con-
stitution by which the District of Column
bia is governed. \ United States de-
putty marshal and United States COM
missioner are its civil officers, and cases
arising there are tried by Judge Hughes
i'm a United States court. No resident
of Arlington can vote anywhere. Inc
exercise of a like jurisdiction over Alex
ander Island after its acquisition from
it's owners would settle all the questions
which now occasion such violent discus
sion here
