Origin of th© Two-Thirds Rule, A Bit of History. A nu&rbkf 6f interesting articles have recently been published in relation to the origin ot the two-thirds rule. Its motive, and the date of its first appli¬ cation to conventions, have doubtless been wrrrectly 1 given. But its origin, from the authority we quote (Barber’s History of the Uuited States, published in 1828), occurred in the notorious Hartford convention, in Connecticut, ial8l£. .ft will be remembered that, during the second war with Great Britain, the people of the United States were di ... ... ____ ... . condemning and the other approving the'war. The EnJ^UhdStates. opposition was greatest " in A con¬ vention Hartford of delegates from December those States 15th. met at on 1814, and sat nearly three weeks with closed doors. After their adjournment, the convention national published an address, charging the government with pursuing New measures hostile to the inter¬ ests of England, and recommend¬ ing amendments to the Federal con¬ stitution. These alterations consisted of seven articles. First , that representatives and direct taxes shall be aflpoitioued to the number of free persons; secondly, that no new State shall be admitted in¬ to the Union without the concurrence of two"third8 of both honses; thirdly, that Congress shall not have power to lay an embargo for more than sixty days; fourthly, that Congress shall not interdict commercial intercourse with¬ out the concurrence ot two-thirds of of both be houses; fifthly, that the war shall not declared without concur¬ rence of a similar majority; sixthly, that no* person who shall be hereafter nat¬ uralized, shall be eligible as a member of the Senate or House of Represents*, tives, or bold any civil office under the authority of the Uuited States; aud seventhly, that no perion shall be elec¬ ted twioe to the Presidency, nor tho President be elected from the same State two terms in succession. The committee in charge of these al¬ terations, which were to be submitted to Congress, arrived iu Washington city the day that the news of peace was re¬ ceived. The proposed amendmeits were submitted to the several States, aud rejected by all except Massachu¬ setts, Rhode Island and Connecticut.— Cor* Macon 2c icy rap h. An Ocean Horror.

There is not much stimulus to men¬ tal activity in a life of plodding on a street car track, and yet instances are. known where horses have taken alively interest in the road, the* methods of carrying on the business, and especial¬ involves ly that portion of it which their time and labor. They have thought it all out, ai)d have actually been able to tell the number of trips assigned for their day’s labor and when it ends. When a horse is able to tell how much v/brk is required of him each day, and when his day ends, the achievement passes beyond the range of mere animal instinct and attains the plane of reason and intelligence. marvelous Horse car drivers tell stories of the intelligence displayed dri¬ by the animals under their charge. A ver on one of the Fourteenth street cars is strongly of the opinion that horses know how to count. If this rather unusual statement is questioned ‘‘Well, they the driver simply says : if don’t, how are you going to explain this ?” and then he goes on to say that each car makes 19 trips per day. There are four horses used, three making 5 trips and one 4 trips. At the end of each trip the car is driven into the stables and then turned upon the turning table. After (he car is turned the horses are changed if it is the proper time, befor the cars start back on the trip. The horses will make the 4 trips going in and out of the stables without any difficulty. At the end of the fifth trip, if for any reason it is necessary to send the car back, it is almost impossible to get the horse out of the stable. He holds back, resists, and it requires the united exertions of several men before the animal can be induced to move. The horse has kept a strict count of the trips, day’s and knows that he has fin¬ ished his work and ought to go to his stall. The same thing occurs if the attempt is made to make the horse that has only four trips take an additional one. With the drivers and stablemen, who frequently witness such exhibi¬ tions, there is a firm belief in the mathematical ability of horses. The street car men also tell an interesting tf few * fill fin'l-'-fiPu. on the lr between New York avenue and H street. His time for stopping work is taken very irregular, aud he is some¬ times to the stables with one car and sometimes with another. But the horse knows perfectly well when it is the intention to take him to the stable, and when he comes to the top of the hill, instead of stopping, he starts off on a run. If the time for his going home was at all regular this singular intelligence might be explained, but whsther it is early or late the horse knows when he is going home. Until that time he plods along steadily, and has never been known to make a mis¬ take. One of the drivers explains it by the fact that the boy who has the horse in charge usually sits on the dash board, with feet on the outside, while going up the hill. But when tbe boy is going all the way to the stables he gets all the way on the front platform. The horse sees that the boy has drawn UU legs iu instead ot dangling them on the outside, aud, by the inductive pro> cess of reasoning, he concludes that it is time for him to go home. He ac¬ cordingly goes. Another horse always shies when he passes a certain corner after dark, because some four or five years ago he was frightened at that place. A Happy Restoration.

A Criticism of English Girls. Why cannot English girls be taught to move, walk, stand, and even laugh?j Even if they manage to enter a room,' lack with'ease and self-possession, they that gift of grace that when it is not natural, can be very well imitated by tp.iuing As to “standing at ease,” not one Englishwoman in fifty can do it. They are given to resting their weight on one foot, and then transferring it to the other. A little training would show them that it is much less fatig uing, and incomparably more graceful,! to balance the weight equally upon both. It would not then be necessary to wear the head upon one side, as though they had brought out son e oio else’s in mistake. As to laughing, how seldom, except on the stage do we hear a really musical laugh. Some girls make dreadful grimaces when they laugh. A little education in the art would not make their laughter artifi¬ cial, and they would surely enjoy it all the more if they could realize that they might indulge in mirth without mak¬ ing themselves look so very ugly, as is occasionally the case. It runs in fam¬ ilies sometimes to distort the counte¬ nance in laughter. I know a family who laugh a great deal. Their eyes always Bhut up when they do so, and it is the funiest thing when one dines with them, and something amusing is said, to look around the table, and see exactly the same distortion on every face. There is not an eye left in the family. Three sisters whom I know show quite half an inch of pale pink gum when they laugh. In their pres¬ ence like Wendell Holmes one “neyer dares to be as funny as one can,” for fear of seeing this appalling triple vis¬ ion of gums. A little training in child¬ hood would make their laughter a pleasant thing to look at, for they have all pretty little square teeth, very white and even. Playing with a Rattlesnake. Several days ago a party had gath¬ ered at the house of B. A. Register, in the fifteenth district, so we are inform¬ ed, for the purpose of eating water¬ melons. In front of the yard is a i yo. a nd a little thrge^year u MrV^rtSgTWtr^ wandered out into the grove, while the crowd were gathered in the front porch ot the house. After some time Mr. R°gister, who bad been watching the child, saw that it was playing with something, he approached the fence and looked over, and was astonished to find a very large rattlesnake playing with the child, twining around its arms, laying its head lovingly on its breast, and twining around its body, and seemiog to be child delighted with its new friend. The was in the highest glee, and was as happy as in the its mother’s arms. Reg¬ ister called to crowd, who went to the fence, and were ailed at the critical position of the child. A plan was con¬ trived by which the child was enticed away from the snake. On the first alarm the snake sprung its rattle and was ready for fight. It was killed and found te be quite large and had fifteen rattles ,—Amcricus Republican. Cl n ni?

What it Costs to Livo. The Mimber of dollars _ „ One Eat up iu Fifty Years. Mr. Soyer, who in his lifetime gained so much fame as a cook and food econo¬ mist, made a calculation as to how much of the finer wines and meats were vivant consumed by a professed bon in the course ot his lifetime. This cuiious feat of calculation is based on a lifetime extending over sixty years; the life of a bon-vivant ’’s esti mated as enduring for three score years and tec; but—though he might have extended the number—the first ten years are not taken into account, as during that period the boy is not al¬ lowed to consume anything but what i3 placed before him. Taking the round figures of the accumulated “services of meat and drink,” it appears, by Mr. Soyer’s calculation, that a professor of good living will consume in the sixty years allotted to him. about sixty tons of viands, which he probably washes down wit’, a hundred hogshead of wines and liquors of various kinds. The following are tbe materials which, according to Soyer, composes tbe daily dinner of the average epN cure—namely, half a pint of soup, four ounces of fish, eight ounces of meat, four ounces of poultry, four ounces of savory meats, two ounces of vege¬ tables, two ounces of bread, two ounces of pastry, half an ounce of cheese, four ounces of fruit, one pint of wine, one glass of liquor, one cup of coffee or tea. The solids, it will be seen which are consumed at this meal amount to thirty and a half ounces ; whilst at luncheon time, eight ounces would be consumed; and calculating the eggs, fish, or cutlets eaten at breakfast, an additional twelve ounces would fall to be added to the account, equivalent to forty-eight ounces of solid food per diem ; and there would be at least three pints of liquid material in the coffee, soup, wine aud liquors. drinking At present prices, the eating and of a professed good liver could not- be accomplished for less than twelve shilhngs sterling ($3) per diem, in and liquors. TL&t may sew k large sum ; but the^hRfriey w Fecessarily expended in cook L/J , dinner epicure would a as an oi’S'W is considerable, and necessarily failsAo be included in the bill of costs ; wb«e if high class wines be selected, twelve shillings will hardly cover the expenditure. Twelve shillings a day for a period of three hundred and sixty five days amount to two hundred aud nineteen pounds ($3,096); aud in sixty years at that rate, the good liver’s com missaiial account will sum up to the very handsome sum of thirteen thou¬ sand one hundred and forty pounds sterling 700).

Some of the Principles Animating Judge Price, of Missouri. TFrom the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.] Springfield, Mo., Aug. 4.—Judge W. 0. Price, a Democrat of 40 years’ standing, and once an office-holder in the Treasury Department under Bu¬ chanan’s Administration, announces himself in the Daily Extra to-day as a candidate for the Legislature from the Eastern District of Greene county. Among other things, he publishes the following principles : 3. That pro-slavery is the law of God and a factor in the scheme of human redemption. 4. That secession under the cir¬ cumstances superinduced by and the facts in my first proposition is wus the truth of God, the law of heaven, and will stand. 5. That the honest part of Ameri¬ can society, as between the two old! parties, as a rule, is the Democracy, the Southern wing being the most vir¬ tuously That intelligent. Republican 6. the element in the United States stands in our social philosophy to the Democratic element iu the same relation that black does to white in the natural or moral phil¬ osophy, the extremes ranging from snowy white to sooty. 7. That while it is true that Demo¬ cracy is the virtue as a rule, it is equally true that differing the same difference only exists in kind, in degree between the Northern and Southern Democracy as between the Republican and Democratic parties, the cause be¬ ing the difference between pro-slavery and free States. 8. That the two theories being an¬ tagonistic, can never be harmonized. 9. That the American States being originally pro-slavery, constituted the third theocratic predicament of the worlds history, and was a fulfillment of that prophecy; “God shall enlarge Japhet, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his ser¬ vant.’*—Genesis ix.: 27.” Chinese who Wouldn’t be Count¬ ed. —Mr. Suksdorf, General Supervisor of theF Census for the District of Ore¬ gon, states that much difficulty has been and is experienced in the enu meration of the Chinese. There are known to be between 4,500 and 5,000 Chinese whose residence is in Portland, but who are scattered over the country, working on railroads and other public improvements. It is very difficult to find these Mongolians and enumerate them. One of the enumerators was sent up a short time since to enumerate the Chinese employed John Day on the Willow railroad Creek. work between and The Chinese refused to give the enu¬ merator any iuforraation whatever, to answer questions, or give their names.
