Then of course the impurities of the scrofulous

One of Nature's Noblemen. ps
fo
My thoughts were far away from to
joblemen of any kind, r.8 I stood di
imong a throng of others in one if
jf the elegant dry-goods establish- T
iient, situated on the fashionable m
promenade of our thriving metrop- st
)lis. in
I was one of the manv wlm linpfl A
;be polished counters, lookiug with
idmiring eyes on the fabrics so C
:emptingly displayed. The half- II
iour*8 absence of the obliging clerk fa
xho could find the style required at
Dnly in a distant part of the house, d*
lllowed me to be entertained with p<
matching the stream of fair ones di
joining and departing. G
And while I waited with meutal cc
criticism to amuse myself, an in- hi
:ident occurred a little out of the ri
-viiiuiv/u vwovivauuu Ui buu|; V1B1- IC
tore. jo
A slight, small woman, pale, sad- c?
syed, and wearing faded black, ju
2amo in with a new influx of visi- fa
tors walking timidly and casting a e:
half frightened glance at, the piles vi
jf pretty stufta. in
A bright new material on the th
jounter near where I stood caught pi
her eye; she tremblingly inquired d<
the price; when she was told, my se
3harp eyes saw a bill twisted in the or
juiveripg fingers with a perplexed tl
troubled air, and my ears heard the
murmured, "Annie will need ten C<
yards." 01
"Will you take it?" tr
She lifted her pale, meek face k<
and answered, fa
"I cannot; I did not think it in
would be so much !" tl
She was turning a way, when a is
ventleraan, who like myself had tr
been looking and listening, drew fe
ear, asking of the clerk: re
"What does the lady want ? I et
will wait upon her?you attend to di
the customers below." k<
The respectful manner in which ui
he was obeyed, made me at once '
aware that he was the proprietor, g<
and I was a little surprised at What at
followeji. } I s w
J'EjOw fiiany yirds did you \faint, w
madam ?'* w
"Xcw't take it, air." pi
"I am not talking about that/' ai
aid be, with a smile: "just answer aj
my question."
He cat oft' more than she falter- a
ingly mentioned; and while he ri
was packing it, she found voice to p
tell him that iU-healtirhad forced her ti
to relinquish thfr work with which p
had obtained support for herself r<
and her two fatherless children, tl
But the eldest girl, barely seven- o
teen, was going to tea oh in a week, tl
and aha needed a direst to make C
her presentable.
lie made 110 reply, taking in since
the little bill she offered?the
sry last of a small hoard?and
oin his own pocket added a greenick,
the amount of which I conld
?t see, slipped both between the
>rd which bound the parcel, aud
anded the parccl to her:
"There; tell your daughter a
raugor wishes her success."
lie walked hastily awa}' to avoid
sr thanks, and the little woan
looked, as she turned to de\rt,
like one in a dream.
It was a simple act, unobtrusive,
quietly done; and not a week
ifore, that same gentleman had
jen pronounced uncharitable, bemse
his name would not be put
jwn to swell the list for aid toard
some missionary scheme.
The Government and the Indians.
It is manifest from our Washingn
correspondence that govern
ent is vigilantly and resolutely
tending to the case of "Lo, the

(formation lias been received from
on tana showiug that the most
gorous measures have been adopd
to enforce the Territorial crimiil
laws against, the Blackfeet Inans,
who last fall murdered Mal>mb
Clark, a prominent citizen of

le United States Marshal, accoramied
by an adequate military

the murderers of Clark, and

How They Inforce the Lipuor Law in 00
Boston. .
qu
I visited a good many places du- tu
ring the day where liquor was formerly
sold ; was let into club hous- co
es with latch keys; led like a lamb, as
along dark passage ways, and ad- th
mittcd through mysterious doors, wi
on the delivery of a password; ta- th
ken down cellar, hoisted, submis- P?
sively iuto garrets, and once lowercd
into a cistern, and wherever I 00
went, in good, sound, law-abiding,
constitutional, old Boston. I found ^
prohibition inforced with a severity
and vigor that I hadn't deemed tjl(
possible. My head achcs when- prc
ever 1 think of it.
They begiu to enforce about five iue
o'clock in the morning, as near as mc
I can judge, and keep it up steadily tc<
until two or three o'clock in the an
morning, when, of course, the in<
thing can take care of itself. Men is 1
work so hard at it they grow red in lia
the face; many of them men who D0
never gavo much attention to the n8
temperance cause before. g*
A Boston man told me that he
never knew that there were so jg
many drinking places iii the city Le
until the law was introduced, and a(j
he took it upon himself, in answer f0i
to his promptings he neither could pe
understand nor resist, to aid in in- th
forcing it. He acknowledged tliathe no
was nearly worn out. and couldn't th
bold out much longer unless the ftf*
law were repealed. The material nu
they provide for "inforcing is abom- aD
inablc, though as "A. Ward" used ^
to remark, that he alwa}*s observed ^
they keep worse liquors at a temperance
taveru than anywhere else, yQ
bo the quality deteriorates fearfully
under prohsbition patronage.

The Lunatic Asylum.?As we antieipated
the present Legislature has on
not spared the Lunatic Asylum. If
there he one institution in the State
which, more than another, should
have been left under itB former
Boad of Regents, that institution is ^
the asylum Ibr the insane. A regard
for the insane?for thoso unfortuuato 0(j
beings deprived of reason?has always
been considered a feature of an qj(
advanced civilization. A becoming w
consideration for this class should ;n
have led the Legislature to withhold
sunh a shock to the sensibilities of qq
the insane as such a Board as the one re
elect is calculated Ho give. What aE
Governor Scott shrank from doing, nt
his Legislature has done. They have jn
laid their hands upon an institution q,
peculiarly delicate. The Board of pj
Regents consisting of gentlemen of ^
character and commanding the con
fidcnco of the State, Lave boen rcmov- ecj
ed, and a regency composed mostly of
colored men, and others equally nn- pQ
fitted for their parts, have been elcc- m)
ted. We deem this an outrage. But rft
it is no moro than is to be expected. w]
When acts like this are committed, m(
we hope that one good effect, at least se(
may be realized?to mako every good cj8
man realize the necessity of prompt- ^

iy uispiacmg a regim* wmcii, in South C0I

Virginia.?Bingham's bill for the
unconditional admission of Virginia,
bos passed the House, by a vote of ea
ninety-eight to ninety-five, and is now
before the Senate. The defeat of the
Radicals in the House was effected by
a solid vote of fifty-six Democrats
with forty-two Republican Conservatives.
The bill is receiving a warm
dlsoussion in the Senate, but will soon B1C
be put upon its passage. The early
admission of Virginia, with or without
restriction, is regarded certain.

ie Fifteenth Amenclneiit?Intyortaiit
Quostion.
A "Washington lettor of Tuesday;
eaking of that day's proceedings in
ugress, says:
One of the most important legal
eations debatod was that as to the
oct of a revocation by one Legislaro
of a State of the ratification of
e Fifteenth amendment by a procdingLegislature
of the same State,
illustrated in tho action takon on
e amendment in New York. It
is argued by several senators thai.
o constitution docs not confer any
wer of revocation upon a State
jgislature; that that body can only
nsider the quostion of ratification,
d dispose of it only by adopting or
fusing to adopt it, and there its auority
over tho subject ends; tho
i ? ** -*
gioiubuio iius no jurisdiction over
9 subjcct save that which it derives
>m the Constitution of the TJuitcd
ates in the modo prescribed by that
itrument j that in pursuance of that
>de Congress submitted the Fifjnth
amendment for ratification,
d the Legislature can only detcrm)
that it will not ratify, and there
an end of the State's jurisdiction ;
ving ratified t he amendment, it is
t competent for the Legislature at
subsequent time to annul the ratifi*
tion by a resolution of revocation,
nator Howe and others wore not
clear of opinion, however, that it
not within the power of a State
igislature at any time prior to the
option of the amendment by threelrths
of the States to revoke, or real,
their formeT action, and reject
o amendment. The proposition is
vei, witnout precedent, and ia to bo
e fruitful subject of discussion Injrcicr
unless very soon the requisite
mber of States shall ratify tb-o
leudmcnt. If it shall turn o?fe that
e three-fourths vote of the Sta'.o
n only bo mode up by including
2W York, it will become momenj8
question whether a State caw rekc
its ratification.
State Taxes.?Under the law as it
is been created, the collection of
ate and county taxes would begin
i the 15th inst. Wo see it stated

to commence the collection at that
ne, it will bo deferred until about
o 1st of Febuary. It is also stated
at the tax will be one third less
an that of last year, and will be fixat
one half of one per. cont.
The estimated expenses of the State
avcrnment amount to $936,000,
hieh, added to the premium on gold
which the interest of the State
ibt is to be paid, will amouut to 81,
>0,000. At tho rate assessed upon
al and personal property, the
aount realized will be but $820,000;
id thus the State dobt will likoTv hn

creased to the amount of about $20
900. As the sharpers, in order to
le up their own coffers, have made
ie interest payable in gold; this
nount will no donbt be easily abeorbThis,
however, will afford some temrary
relief to the tax-payer, and it
iy bo required to pay the deficit of
dical extravagance, until & time at
hich they may bo better, able to
jet it. Upon the whole,, it would

of some little more coricero for
