It is not, olnimed, the re|H»il says, flint the act of the legislature was a necessary pndliniimry to the hold ing of a constitutional convention, nnd if it were admitted that il had no legal force whatever, nnd the pro ceedings which followed are to be treated ns purely |Ntpular, still it gave the jss.plo the machinery neceasnry for tho oxpri*ssion of the Tsipular will in an orderly and effective way.

In re8|K)ii*o to a rcNjocst for additional in formation explanatory of tho recommend:! tions of his last annual report in regard to the Indian question, Lieutenantdleiiora! Siieridan has written a statement in wflivb lu says: In my annual rejKirt for isV) I recommend c<l that each Indian family lie given (nnd I'K'ntisl him *m) tho 820 acroH now providtsl I . them by law in case of actual settlement; that the government then condemn the re mainder of each reservation nnd buy it in at ♦ 1.25 |»r acre, and with the procis*d* imrchase government bonds, to In* held in trust by tho iutorior department, giving to* tho Indians each year the interest on the bonds for their Hujitmrt. I cited in illustration of what would Im> the practical workings of this suggestion the case of th" Crows, tho Clio venues and ArajMih«M*s and the Ut<*s, but the limit of my report did not per- mif a full elucidation of the advnnUigi*s that would accrue to the Indian nor even an nl luslon to the large amount of land now lying idle that would thereby lie oihmusI toseitie ineiit and increase by so much the material prospority of the nation.

Twenty-six thousand sipinre miles would locate each fam ilv upon a half section of land, leaving a sur plus of alwuit 170,000 square miles, which, ac cording to tho plan I have proposed, would jir<since nnmially ♦4,4HO,(KXt. This amount, exceeds by about $000,(XX) the entire sum aj>- jiropriatiHl for t he juiymont of their annuities nnd for their subsistence nnd civilization. The policy mlvocabsl in my i*ejs»i1. would Ik* most mlvnntagoously apjdied groilually, the general government of tho Indians lieing contmuod atxrording to the methods now in vogue, or such improvement of them pus time nnd experience may suggest. Tho ultimate development of tho suggesUvl jKtlicy would, as the Indians ndvnneo in civilization and in- telligence, n*sult in tho return to thorn of the jirincipal derived front tho sale of their lauds, which, until such measures wore authorized by act of Congress, would be held as a t rust for thoir benofltand tho income applied tu Uudrsupport From Death to Life.

The jihysiciau again ussured him that life was extinct, but in order to satisfy Mr. Pruin ho called in another doctor of the village. He, too, made an examination, ind continued tho rojiort of his brother physician that his patient wus loti. Still the husband would not lie con- 'need. lie jilaced his hand ujxui his wife’s best and tried to produce* ail artificial respi ration, having lon^ made a special study of the use of anicsthotlcs in connection with his profession. He proceeded to work the arm hack and forth, pressing his hand on the chest, thus producing an artificial movement. The two doctors remonstrated with him for committing what they deemed n profanation of tho (load. He continued his efforts, and after a few minutes the jiatient begau slowly to revive.

Particulars of the damage done in New York nnd Pennsylvania by recent floods, fol lowing the heavy rains, aro ns follows: The Susquehanna river has lieen higher than since iho big flood of lwtt, nnd a great deal of the surrounding country hns been submerged. Trains were much impeded. Twelve collieries in the Mnhnnoy valley, Penn., have lieen flooded. Allentown was practically without drinking water, the pumping works having lieen flex sled and ren dered useless. Trains on tho isdiigh Val ley nnd Lehigh and Susquehanna roads wore delayed by land slides nnd washouts. In Klmirn, N. Y., cellars were fltNjded. Tho Erie railroad bridge in Owogo has lieen cnrrietl nwnyutul the t rains ran over tho tracks of the Delaware, I*neknwnnnn niH "Weetcrn road. The Mohnwk river was higher than since IHtvt. Many little towns near Shenandoah. Penn., were inundated. Basements, saloons and bar rooms ut Girardville, Penn., suffered great damage. The inhabitants along the creek nt that jilnro retired about II p. m.. but were awakened an hour later by the roaring of the water rushing through their dwellings. The water was from three to four feet deep, and overran bar counters and destroyed pianos and organs. A numlier of serums cave-ins oc curred on the iichigh Valley road nnd pre vented trains from moving on the Mahanoy branch until noon yesterday. The water on the Rending road was three feet deep in some places, but traffic was resumed yester day morning. Mnhnuoy City was com pletely inundated, and many jioor families were forced to leave their homes iu the middle of the night. The flood in the Susquehanna river reached ite height ut ijH*k Haven. Three-fourths of the town was submerged. At Williamsport, Penn., the loss will Ik? greater than in 181k). One timber firm, it is said, will lose $:).*»,»'/<X), and the loss on logs that have broken away and gone down the river is likely' to reach several hundred thou sand dollars. There is much suffering among families who have been driven out of their homes by the flood, and tho mayor called a muss meeting to take action to relieve desti tution. In Harrisburg, Penn., and vicinity much damage wus inflicted by the rapid rise of the Susquehanna river. In tho Catskills scores of farmhouses were surrounded,imiirisnniug the inmates until the flood subsided. At Higginsville, a suburb of Kingston, N. Y., families were forced during the night to move everything into the second stories of their houses. By' daybreak the water covered the first floor and was rising at a rapid rate, causing intense excitement. Thousands of people lined the banks of the creek and watched tho imprisoned families, the water runuiug too swiftly for any one to go to their relief. Four men went in a boat to try and save some property, but the boat upset, owing to the strong current, and one of them, Owen Madden, a well-known politician of the town of Kiugstou, was drowned. A freshet in the eastern part of Oswego county, N. Y.,carried away' two saw-mills and a large quantity of logs. Kverv bridge Ini- tweeu the villages of Parish ana Mexico, in cluding two of iron, went out with the flood. Au Fiujjoriuin (Penn.) dispatch suys the loss to lumbermen will approach 13.000.000. A special cable diNjmtch from Paris to the Now York Ilrrahl descriln** as follows scenes lu tho laboratory or M. Pasteur, the scientist whoeo discovery of u cum for hydrophobia has created such a sensation throughout the civilized world: Another dug-bitfou citizen of New Jersey —Edward BuekUn, fifteen years of ago- nr* rived to-day at the lalmraWy in the Bug .i! 11 received hi* first iiKKMilation nt 11:00. He makes the sixth American treat«*1 by M Pasteur tip todnb*. Kaufman is doing well and M. Pasteur says he may start for home on SnturdRv. Nattier now *av* lie doesn't want to Im< m«>< ulnb-d. While M. Pasteur was supervising the in oculations to-day two telegrams were hund- *1 to him. Tearing one of them ojhju ho exclaimed, “It’s from America!” It proved to lie from th" president of the Pasteur in stitute in New York, and asked if M. Pas teur would receive a medical man who know French to study in his laboratory and learn his mcthiHls. M. Pudeur hand’*d mo the telegram ho said: "Those geutlemcn arc in too much of a hurry. It is promnture to attempt anything yet. Wait until w, see how the c<uh» already treated turn out. Wait until wo see how the Newark children get along. Wait nt least until March, when the series of experiment ulioadv commenced will enable me t<. make known facts and data much more specific and dotailod than any thing yet pupllshed. Of course 1 feel very inuch flattered to hoar that Americans have thought fit to give my name to the institute, but in tho puro interest* of science delay is needed, its everything so fai is merely ex- prii mental.” M.

She wan ao unobstrusWc, ao easy and quiet, that »ho would havo been unno- ' tlced if nature had not Ulnatratcd tho law ot compensation In a manner so pro nounced that everybody saw at a glance tho thing to ho compensated. If ever nature and sound home training; if evur blood nnd bruins combined to fashion and roflnoa woman,it was Mis* Careiv. No one could look asecond time in her won derful eyes without seeing the woman's soul shining through them. Most peo ple did not care tolook the second timo. Tho coarse-grained nnd unsympathetic saw only the deformity; tho selfish side of the world looked no further. If thoy romnrkod Miss C'arow st all, It was to wundcr in the stupid fashion of intensely vulgar pcoplo if it was not very annoy ing to nave a hunchback in one's set. 1 Miss Carcw, a head shorter in inches than the average woman, was an far , abovo average women in mental stature that thoy could not have reached tho crowo of hor head though they mado ! pyramids ton flgurcs high. When Mis* Carcw, during a lull in the conversation oxprcssnd nn opinion conflicting xvitli Iho sontimenta smooth ly flowing in one curront— that on which Laureuco Springer lazily floated in his grand, oil sufficient way, the ladle* ■tared at her. Mr. Springer was be trayed into something like energy. He quickly recovered himself in time; in stead of asking Mias Carew if she was In when be turuod his head, it was to re mark in the manner of a weary man : "Of course, exception proves the rule. If nobody objected to what appears to bo the universal verdict, we inignt have reason to think our reasoning at fault." That was nil, positively every word the superb creature uttered as be stroked his handsome heard and very slowly re tired. He did not even glance at Miss Carew, whose objection promptly illus trated, apparently to h s entire satisfac tion, the force of his logic. If Mr. Springer was not logicnl, he erred in solocting a profession. A man who could be tripped up—laid en tho broad of his hack figuratively speaking, by a woman with one brief sentence, after lie had talked half an hour, was not the : man to awe, influence or convinco a , jury. The conversation was vory tamo after that. And so many were charmed with thoeaay, decisivo manner in which the | young lawyer led it. It was a weighty sub- joct airily,delicately,I might add fastidi ously handled by Laurence Springer, ' voted tho hanusoraost man on tho 1 ground. Estimating the Presidents of tho great republic, bimplo words these, i and very harmless to look at. A moment's consideration will convince thorcadci that unless brains are balanced : against them clevery, the task is one that speedily reveals thoir absence. No matter what Miss C'arow Baid. If it was not original, it must havo boon new to the little knot gathered about tho young lawyer. The majority of tho ladies marveled at Miss Carew's "odd ideas.” They seemed to regard her as one who harbored "odd” idoas. Her views of life; her estimate of generations past and present gave some of her auditors an odd sensation. My room-mate, Miss Flayford, actually shivered, as she put out hor hand nervously on mine upon rising. "Miss , did you ever hear any ono talk as Miss Carew does? I wonder if all doformed people have odd ideas? I replied carelessly, that I should not wonder if they had, and abruptly changed the subject. That very cvenine somo of tho strong- minded sex discovered something to talk about in an article published in a lead ing maga/iuo. The would-bc-clever mon with opportunities within easy reach were interested. The men who woro regretfully relinquishing places in life requiring energy and endurance were much moro interested in tho article. Indeed, the interest manifested by these was communicatod to those who were waiting for their shoes, and these last communicated it to the vory young in tho sense of inexperience. The maga zine articlo enabled people to air their history; it also revived recollections of old families, and it placed some of the old families in a new nnd whimsical light. The article was widely discussed, and much curiosity was excited concern ing the author. The next evening a hop, a very lan guid affair, was in progress when I seated myself beside Miss C'arow. The elders scarcely looked in. Beardless girls and boys occupied the floor. Be tween the waves of sound, I caught clearly and distinctly these words: "I marvel that she does not withdraw. On the contrary Miss Carew seems to enjoy looking on more than any onee'se.” 1 looked at Miss Carew. There was nothing in iter expression indicating wounded sensibilities. Bite was looking nt the dancers with a entiling face; with eyes ns free from dis turbance as the placid waters lyiug in the broad moonlight. "If it wasn’t for tl.e broken back she would he a lino lookiug woman . I never can look on a woman with crutches, or a hunchback.” I looked at Miss Carew again. Her face wns illuminated with a smile. Some oallow youth blundered on the floor, creating diversion. There was a ripple of laughter, in which Miss Carew joined. She was either fortified by rare exped ience, or rich in a philosophy that took no note of thiugs that constitute the world in most women’s eyes. An hour later Mr. Springer sauntered past in all the glory of six feet, high health, a superior figure and easy car riage lie turned upon seeing us, in clined his elegant head, ana appropria! ed a vacant seat as a matter of course. The usual order of events in this hum drum, matter of-fact world would have cast upon me the burden of conversa tion, or made me second, at least. I was neither first nor second. In short, I was uowhere. Somehow, front the first Miss Carew glided into the tala, and alto gether away from me. I seemed to he a NUMBER 38. tort of fence, from either tide of which good natured raillery shot its darts. Then reasons were submitted for my si lent indorsement, and—it had to como sooner or lster—finally I was freighted with sentiment which, liowovcr, 1 was relieved of the trouble of accounting for or transferring. Mr. Springer for once talked like a responsible human being. When Miss Carew was called away by hor couain, the belle o( I’ , whose arm she clasped, Mr. Springer startled me by the energy with which ho* said: "What a pity! Sho talks charming ly.” The next day, the sober second- thoughts on tho magazine article were exchanged. There waa considerable speculation concerning the author. Tho initials fittod half n dozen public men; the ideas, however, wore not in kcoping with tho actions of anyone named. Every body wns of of ono mind on tho point— that the entire subject was handled in a ninsterly mannor. .lust when speculation was nt its height, a little group lormod at the main entrance of the hotel ono ovoning, in which the superb Laurence Springer nnd Mias Carow were the conspicuous flgurcs; he by sheer forco of physical beauty; she because sho looked liko n child sit ting hesido other women. Mr. Springer was in ono of his grand moods. He re viewed tho roviowor to his own satisfac tion, It was a complimentary perform ance in the fullest sense, composed chiefly of purely conventional terms, and irreproachable views, whereas, the articlo discussed drew parallels in the lives of tho Presidents thnt excited hostility. Questions thnt were mot boldly and dis proved of, and matters of groat moment, requiring decisive action that were torn porized with in a cowardly manner, wero presented in alight that placed the prin cipal actors on a lovcl with tho mass of their fellows. When Mr. Springer paused, somohody asked Miss Carew what the thought of it. To the ovhlent surprise of .judge B— , manifestly to tnn surprise of everybody olso, Miss Carew, speaking as unconcernedly aa though sho roferrod to a dress-pattern, pulntod out nn over sight In the mucit-lauded performance. The oversight onco acknowledged,noth ing could lie clearer in her mind than that a portion of the article roflocting se verely upon adond President, should be moditied. Mr. Springer was up in nrms at once. Having committed himself un reservedly in support of the entire arti cle, he could do no less. Involuntarily he dropped into the legal habit—pro jected In swift succession categorical questions thnt wero answered so prompt ly, clearly nnd satisfactorily, that tho J ucationer sat stunned and silent Then udge U mildly came to Mr. Spring er’s rescuo, but Miss Carow with her silvery laugh nnd Incomparable smile routed the judge from his last trench. She maintained supreme possession of a fairly fought field. Finally, Mr.Springer, piqued hv the turn nllairs had taken, aa a last rcaort hazarded the danger ous experiment of questioning the value of opinions not hnsod upon actual knowledge or experietiee, as compnred with views pre dicted upon research and advanced by men familiar with every phase of the questions involved, in short, did Miss Carew, who did not hesitato to point out flaws in the much discussed article, rec- oguize tho fact that sho had, whother designedly or not, arrogated to horself the dogreo of wisdom roqulrod in tho supervision of future performances by the same author? I shall never forget the look of dis may that overspread Judgo B 'a face, or tho crimson cheeks and brow Mr. Bpringer turned to ua when Miss Catew, with i merry laugh, said sho would take tho matter into consideration immodi- atcly. She then bowed to us, nnd beg ging her friend, Judgo Ii to excuse her, withdraw. Among tho late arrivals thnt day was a literary lion of unusual proportions, a friend of Judge B . Llttlo Miss | Carcw had baroly gone, whon a well- preserved gentleman of mtddlo age ox- tended hls hand to Judge Ii , and hurriedly inquired where Miss Carow was to he found. "Little Miss C'arow 1” said Judge H. “Sho was hero a moment ago. What can you want with my triona Miss Ca raw?" “Sond that to Iter at once," said the lion, hnnding tho judge an envclo|>o. Tho judge, with irritating deliberation, turned the envelope slowly over in his haud, read the imprint wo ail saw plainly in one corner, then calling a servant, dis patched him to Miss Carew’s room with the letter. I had an errand to Miss Carew’t room an hour later. She was bending over somo narrow slips of paper when I en tered. They were swept aside, then she handed me one with a frank smile, saying: "Thera, I need not make a mystery of it with friends—all I dislike is the pes tering of strangers.” There, before my eyes, was the con cluding articlo on the Presidents, with a letter from the editor, "hurrying Miss Catew.” “1 think,” said Miss Carew, “I may l>e pardoned if I see defects in my own work. Defects I shall endeavor to reme dy in this papor. You are at liberty to speak to all my friends. And you can say I am accustomed to criticism, for I have written much that failed to please publishers, and never satisfied mo.” If Miss Carew had suddenly been en dowed with nil the graces and inexhaus tible wealth,a greater change iu people’s estimate in her could not have been manifested. The olegant Laurence Springer from that day. was her aqk'- constituted chevalier. 1 wondered how it would all turn out I was, by turns, inclined to wish him succoss iu his suit, and indifferent. I was, I believe, the first takeu into her confidence. "I have accepted Mr. Springer, Miss D—. 1 could not help it. He would not tako no for an answer—and, oh! I said It so often." Doubtless she did, hut as 1 see them every year, the husband exhibiting that rare devotion displayed in the thousand and ono little tnings unnoticed by the bustling world, 1 know neither could ever have been as happy with otlior mates.—Dacid Loicry, iy the Current.

A World's Pair at Liverpool in 1HSB. There is to bonn lntermtioral Exhibi tion ot Navigation, Traveling, Cout- morco and Manufacture in Liverpool in i860. The fundamental idea upon which this world's fair lias beau projected is at once novel and well defined. It is in tended to illustrate the history and de velopment of traveling by land, sea and air. There will also ho shown, as ullied to this subject, exhibits representative of tho manufacture and commerce of the world. Tho project is under tho patron age of the quocn and the presidency of the l’rinco of Wales, with the mayor of Liverpool as chnirman of committees, nnd Hundreds of woll-known British names on tho commit I eo ro iter and among the vice presidents. The project will in clude a collection of raodois of vessels, aucicnt and modern, illustrations of the modes anil materials of their construc tion, their engineering and other ap pliances, boats of every description, docks, hurbors, lighthouse, life-saving apparatus, aud all other matters connect ed with traveling by water. In tho de partment of land traveling there will be exhibited chariots, coaches and carriages of all countries and all times; tho his tory of steam as a motive power will he fully ilhiitrated.and there will be shown models, oxampics and technical appli ances, English and foreign, for the con veyance of travelers and goods. The site chosen for the exhibition is the Edge Lane Hall estate, adjoining Wavertree park. This large, open space, thirty- tlvo acres in extent, has been lont by the corporation of Liverpool; it is conven iently situated for affording ready meant of access to visitors by rail, and possesses special facilities for the delivery of ma terials and exhibits upon the grounds ot tho exhibition.

No morning sun lasts a whole day. I’leaaant roads mako pleasant drives. Pleasant thoughts make pleasant lives. Humor is the smiling pathos of tho heart as wit is tho laughing deviltry of it. Life becomes use'oss and insipid whon wo have no longer friends or ene mies. The knowlodge drawn from experience is of quite another kind from that which flows from speculation or discourse. Chivalry is not confined to the rela tion of the sexes. It is a sentiment which should rightly inspire all who are j highly favored in any respect toward i hose who are less fortunate. A man’s best help is himself, his own heart, his resolute purpose—it cannot he done by proxy. A man’s mind may ho aroused by another, but ho must mold his own character. What if a man falls iu ono thing; I .at him try again-he must quarry his own nature. Let hint try hard, uud try again, for he doea not know what he cun do till lie tries.
