Overtaken by night, when traveling
through tho Jura mountains in Franco
many years ngo, we stopped for supper
and a night's lodging at a small wayside
dor some apprehension ns to how we should
faiv there.; hut the Cordial greeting of the
landlord, whose fat, rubicund Dice and
moist, twinkling blue emotive promise of
good entertainment, soon dispelled our
fears. One of Ids first questions wns wheth

brook. Of course we did; hut to our as
tonishment—it being now pitch dark—we
learned that the fish lmd yet to be anight.

had Ixvu stowed away, an ordinary glass-

he then took from his pocket a common
pruning knife with a hawk’s-hill, called a

A walk of two or three minutes brought
us to the side of a deep, dark pool, which,
witli the glare of tho lamp dancing over it
like a “will o’-tlio wisp,” looked like the
bottomless pit.
With the quoor-looking lantern in Ids
left hand and the right armed with the for
midable kplfb; tho landlord seated himself
oii a flat projecting rock whence the de
scent was seen to the bottont of the pooh

like a great glowing kohinoor. Holding it
thus for about a minute, ho raised it even

fifteen or twenty fish ofdifierontslzcs press

They turned on their sides dend without a

patch, under tlio head of n "New View of
tho I'lflconth Amendment:"
Tho moment tho ratllleattoii of the Fif
teenth Amendment is completed, it will
become a part of the Constitution. Tho
moment it becomes a part of the Constitu
tion it will render null and void any oxist-
iua law that may lie Inconsistent with It
self. Now. under tills nmendinent., every
State will have tho right to require any
qualification in a negro voter whluli-is al
so required lu a white one. It follows in
evitably that tho moment this amendment
becomes a part of the Constitution, all that
part of tlipnct admitting Virginia to rep
resentation iu Congress which is incon
sistent with tho nmendmont will ho at
once done away with nud bo nS if It had
never been. This wo lay duwunscertaiu-
