Well, I wilt tell yn. i Loyalty jg a word de rived from oW feudal time, and ex presses the relation of the slave to his in nster, the subjection of , the serf to his lord, the Regard of. the vassal for his king. Tbe citizen is free, the sub ject is loyal. Loyalty is no hew thing. It was rampant here before the battle of Bunker'sjllill. "Then, as now, the rich and high were most "loyaK" The loyalist, however, disliked the cji- mate after the "DeeiaratrofiV- ?

Accord ing to him, each man ha.a right hunted only by his neighbor's equal rights to his liberty, aryl to pursue his oB" happiness in hirpwn way. These were rights which he maintain ed to be inherent, inalienable, and not derivative or held by any service. AM that governments can do is to see i L t these rights are not interfered with, or the man's innocent, free ac ion hampered. The best government is that which governs least. Thr-best governed are tlmse who govern them selves. .My friends, exactly that is our notion to-day. All that is neces sary to dispose of all these questions that the eternal meadling and manag ing of the prty of nil the morals has rai-ed, is to apply the simple Demo cratic test to them, and mark the te- n!t- Di tou ask me ho'w to deal with the South? - Tne Democratic doctrine is Contain ed in a queer, out, rusty, lorgotten pamphlet.

It is entitled, A declaration of the rights of all the in habitants, of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts." " That, gentleman, is pure disloyal Democracy, and nothing else, and we stick ' to- it still. ,. But, thenj a colored gentleman, the other night at Fanuel Hull, told us that there were "outrages" at the South. Well, I should think it very probable. I only wonder there are not more. It most bo a mean spirited people who would not get outrageous under such treatment. I am sure-Massachusetts people were rough enough when a sira-; ilr attempt was made to reconstruct them in 17C5. For an infringement of 'their liberties, not one hundredth J pari, as gross as that perpetrated on Georgia, they eurnt down- the house of Governor Hutchinson, and plundet ed, rifled and robbed the housc3 of the Register of the Admirality 'and of the Comptroller of the Customs in the city of Boston "And, my friend?, TZkm very much , afraid they "would do it again, loyal as they are, in a like case. It is always so' in tuich cases. Ireland iafull . of ': "outrage?,'' and Hungary was- so .'outrageous that Austria, has been compelled to restore her consti tutional rights to ber in order ttop the "outrages." : Of course there are utrages ia the subject StatosV Iknuw of one mys?lf, a gross outrage; indeed, very nearly as infamous an outrage as ever'was committed upon a free peo ple, the great, original supreme put rare reconstruction, - " Y 'A 1 er-.arkable Sa: " 13 ,rf V .The St. Louis Democrat p:::s aTet ter from Paris-showing the particulars of lhe gu.ctde ofDr. Pope, of St.: Lou it, whevwfth.

' .. ' Errors of Teaching. . . The first of these errors.is teaching men to imitate or repeat, father than to think. We heed to take but a very cursory glance at the great theatre of human life, to know, how deep a root this radical error has struck into the foundations of education. Look abroad among men,' and ask yourselves bow many of the moving multitude inquire into theprings of action 1 How many seek to know the " causes and conse quences of those scenes in which, ttey themselves are actors Or'to descend to details, how many attempt to under stand the true principles of the busi ness in which they are engaged ? How many can correct a blunder arising merely from the application of a prin ciple ? Analyze this boasted liberty 6T burs "loolf' again npon Vfublican society in this freest land upon earth; separate the living agents from the mere automata in this game of life, and tell me how many of the latter how many of the former ! And if you are not pleased with the result, tell me whether this is a decree of nature nr a fault of education ; whether you believe if men were tatfght jto beiide pendent thinkers, and thattvbiie they revered all that was good, or glorious, oi valuable in the works of their an cestors, that they too had an indwell ing spirit whose high prerogative it was to extend the conquests of mind, they would cease to inquire, and re' main dull flouts upon this ocean of be in (T . Causes of Sudden Death. Very few of the sudden deaths which are said to arise from '"diseases of the heart" do really arise from that cause To ascertain the teal origin of sudden deaths, experiments have been" tried in Europe and reportet to a scientific congress held at Strasbourg. Sixty six cases of sudden death were made the subject of a thorough post mortem examination ; in those cases 'only two were found who hud (lied from disease of the heart. Kine of sixty six had died from appoplexy, while there were forty-six cases of congestion' f the lungs that is, the lungs were so full of bloody they ( could not work there not being room enougft for a sufficient quantity of air to enter to support life. The causes that produce congestion of the lungs are cold feet, tight clothing, costive bowels, sitting still chilled, af ter being warmed with labor or rapid walk, going too suddenly from a close, heated room in the Cold air, especial ly after speaking, and sudden repress ing newa operating on the blood.1 The cause 'pf sudden death being known, an avoidance of them serve to length en many valuable lives, which, would otherwise be lost, under. the verdictof 'jetrtYcomplain't.V-' That disease is' supposed to be inevitable and incura ble hence many may not: tae-tbe pains they would to avoid sudden death if, bey-knew it lay in their power. 4 A writer in the Journal of Agricul ture (published at St. Louis Says': "There is too little care among farm-. ers, generally, m preparing com land. They seem to think, if they can man age to" plow skim would be nearer right-their land once, it is sufficient. Whereas, the determination should be to work it as much as possible before the corn comes up, and while it isyet young, in order to givelt a fair start and keep it growing. Thp very best plan perhaps,; is to plow corn Jand (I mean, laud intended to be planted, to corn the following spring once in 'tbc fall,, as by so doing, '.the continual freezing and. thawing during the win-iand tedious, and repaired two hours ter and spring act as powerful pulver-jind a half tf incessant l.ilor. .

Adivrduiil, with which is connected swi amusing ghost story; ' t' There wai couple of men, in some SUSeltledlp'aft 'of; ther'country, who wetS ii the babit of stealing sheep and robbing "churchyards faf the burial clothes of the dead.

' A man on foot passing . along the road towards the tavern took him to be a ghost, and alarmed almost to death, ran as fast as his feet could i , 1 it carry him to '"'the- tavern," which he reached out of breath. As soon as he Could speak he declared that he had seen a ghost robed in white sitting in the church door.' But nobody WDuld believe bis story. ; But incredulous as they wore, no one could be found that had courage enough to go. At length a man, who was so afflict ed with the rheumatism that he could scarcely walk, declared he would go if the man would carry him there. He at once agreed, took hito on his back', and off they went. ' When they got. in sight sure enough it was as be said ! , Wishing to satisfy themselves well, and get as near a view as possi ble of his ghostship in the dim light, they kept venturing nearer and nearer. The man with the shroud around him. took them to be bis companion with a sheep on his back, and asked in a low tone of voice: '"'"-" ''Is he fat !" "'Meeting with no reply, he repeated the question, raising bis voice higher. : "Is he fat?" Still no reply. ' Then in a vehement ton he called : "Is he fat?". This was enough.

' Why lace is Costly. -: " i," ' The manufacture of lace is carried :o its highest perfection in Belgium. The finest specimen, of Brussels lace is so complicated as to require the la bor of seven persons On one piece, and. each operative is employed at distinct features of the work. The thread used is of exquisite fineness, whicU-ia epun in dark underground rooms, where it is sufficiently moist to prevent the thread from separating. It is so ic icuto as scarcely to be seen, and the room is so arranged that all the light admitted shall fall upon the work. It is such material that renders the gen uine" Brussels ground so costly. On a piece of ; Valenciennes not two inches wide, from two to three hundred bob bins are I sometimes used, and for. tbe larger width, as many as eight hundred on the same pillow. The most valua ble Valenciennes is determined by the number of times the bobbins have been twisted in making the ground ; the more frequent tbe twists the clearer and more beautiful will be the lace. Belgium annually sella of this lace alone to the value of over four million dollars.,, Chantilly lace is always black, and is used chiefly for veils and flounces. It is very fine, and ia exten sively worn. .. Mechlin lace is made at Mechlin, Antwerp, and .other localities. A Man Confines Himsalfia Bank Vault ' The Louisiana Savings Baf'k is buil-. ding a large vault., sAdmissien to it is gained through a large wrought iron door,' to which are affixed patent locks. These locks were put in order yester-, day by a locksmith named Tympe. After arranging the fastenings on the door h lit a candle and proceeded in side "the vault to see how they fitted. Closing the door after him the eccen tric catch of the lock fell, locking him in. Those upon the outside could ren der him no assistance,' since it was a combination lock, and no one knew the numbers at which it. was set. In this narrow cell, shut in by the four walls of the vault and the huge iron door, tbe man felt as if he waa buried alive. The -only means by wbich he could ob tain air or drink was through a small hole iu the door not the twentieth of an inch in diameter. The atmosphere of. tbe cell-like place was fetid and ,l tK rr,,r, fat tt t. 5 would suffocate.: Fortunately he had carried with him into the vault a ham- mer and chisel, and with them, the on-, ly instruments be had, be proceeded to ! cut his way out.

The Atlantic cable announces that the Pope has suspended indefinitely tbe sessions of the (Ecumenical Council, owing to tbe occupation of Rome by the troops of Victor Emmanuel. This occupation by the Italian troops, it' is alleged, might prevent the fneedora of action of the Pope and of the Father of the Church, The jubilee proclaimed in honor of the Council, however, is con tinued. The (Ecumenical Council it should be remembered, wa not ad journed tine die.

The Result of the Election ia West Vft. The Democratic Conservative State Executive Committee of West Virginia have issued an uddrcsd announcing the success of that party at the late elec tion. They say : "You have elected the Governor, all tbe State officers, a judge of the Court of Appeals, two out of the three Kep- reaentatives in Congress, and a major ity of each branch of the Legislature A Senator representing your princi ples will be chosen at the ensuing ses sion of tbe .Legislature.

A por tion of the landwebr, or first line of reserve, is already on its way to Ger many, and the Bavarian government has received notice to discontinue the sending of reinforcements. The New York Timet remarks : "As we lately intimated, on tbe au thority of tbe Cologne Gazette, the plan contemplated by the Prussian etnff was to quarter three or four hundred thousand men in the irregular square, one side of which is formed by tbe up per Rhine, from Basel onward, and the other by a line from Turis to the Bel gian frontier. : This pTan was bacd on the supposition that Mett would surrender in October, and this, like other calculations of the Prussian staff, his, in spite of doubts still expressed to the ci)utr:!ry,"been marvelowdy ver ified.; Tlie fall of Paris would not, ac cording tO,the ame authority, in the leastaffect' tbe contemplated-occupation, since the absence of a act tied gov ernment in Fiance would render it necessary as a guaranty for the ob servance of any terms of peace which pight follow that event." , " A Strange Oatrago.

Talleyrand, in his "Memoirs," utters the following remarkable prophecy, which is to day being turned into his tory : "The European equilibrium, of which we laid the foundation at tbe Congress of Vienna, will not bo eter nal. Some day it will tumble, but it' promises us some years of peace. What threatens tc break it op at a pe riod more or less distant, are the aspi rations which are becoming universal in tbe centre of Germany. The neces sities of ucftDce and of a common dan ger Lave prepared their minds for Ger man unity. This idea will continue to develope, end some day one of the great Powers who form part of tbe confederation will form the desire to realise this unity foi its own profit. Austria is not to be feared; being com posed of scraps and torel, and bar ing no unity at home, she canntt dream ol xfuixtlip j Vifod. . Jt it Pri, '.ben, that kbould be watched. She will try tbe venture ; and if abe suc ceeds, taec all the conditions of the Lalance oC power will be changed, and it will be necessary to te. k for Europe a new basis and a now organization." "If yoa want business done," says the proverb, "go and do it; if yoa don't want it done, send some one else." An indolent gentleman had a freehold estate, producing about five hundred a year. Becoming involved in debt, he sold half the estate, and let tbe re mainder to an industrious farmer for twenty years. About the end of the term, the farmer called to pay his rent. and asked tbe owner whether be would sell his farm. "Will you buy it?" asked the own er, surprised. ... "i es, if we can agree on the pnee. 'That is exceedingly strange," ob served the gentleman ; "pray tell me how it happens that while I could not live upon twice as much land, for which I paid no rent, you are regularly pay ing me two lu-vlred a year for your farm, and ie ble in a few years to purchase it. . "lhe reason is plain, was tbe re ply ; "you sat still and said Oo! I got up and said Come! Yoa lay ia bed and enjoyed your estate ; I rose in the tuorning and minded my busi ness." A Daring Outrage. On Friday night last tbe dwelling house of Mr. Watson, an aged and re spectable man, residing above Dames- town, in tbis district was attacked by a gang of some fifteen or twenty negro men, who were returning from a corn shucking in the neighborhood. Tbe only persons in the house at the time were Mr. Watson and bis two daugh ters. The negroes broke open the doors and windows of the house, when Mr. W. gathered up his two shot guns. which caused tbe negroes to fall back a few paces and discharge a volley of revolvers at the old gentleman. This was rather too hot for Mr. ataon to stand, and he biased away with the two gun, wounding three of the des peradoes, and putting the remainder to fl -JCtM-tv viUt (Md.) Sentinel. Fc5Er .4L ofBev.
