on rods, and expanded with slips of
bamboo till they resembled tennis rae
quets; a lot of sea horses" long
slender fish. with a head like a horse
and prehensile tall bundles Of cent?
sticks: cans full OF preserved polly
wogs and angleworms, and many other
curious panaceas, each Of which SMELL

pills as large as prunes. handsomely
decorated: roots and YARDS of many
kinds, which would paralyZe a Quaker
doctor, and boxes and bottles OF un-

anybody The forty separate and dis
tinct smells Of the town OF Cologne are
nothing as compared to the odors aris-

fiuencing and being influenced by the

The report is unanimous.
The revision is compromise. the re-

all such work must be.
No constitution was ever made or
ever can be made. in convention or out
of it, except by mutual concession. es-
non essentials modified TO suit the con-
census of opinion.
Nearly year was consumed by the
commission i'm it's work. plenty OF time
was taken For reflection.
No convention could take that length
of time. a large convention would have
to appoint committees 10 attend to the
various articles. and the committees
must take the necessary time for con-
sideration and report. and when all is
done by convention or otherwise the
result would be the same-concession.
The excitement likely TO attend con-

deter and defer the accomplishment OF

likely that any better commission could
