In Havfaii tho Legislature, composed of-a House of Nobles and a House of Representatives, makes tho laws, but if their Acts aro not approved by the King, they have no effect. The nobles aro made by tho King, and tho roprrscn tatives are elected by the people. In order to be a vot-sr, one must hava a certain income and bo of good standing in tho community; aud where women possess these requirements, they have the privilege of votiug. Cut of the 'eleven representatives, fivo aro women. Any man who drinks or swears cannot sit on u jury. There arc uo beggars, f every rpau aud woman who is ablo being compelled, to work, and tho Govern meut gives employment to those who have uonc. Tho two predominating religions arc the Catholic and Congrega tional. It is customary for young wo men to "pop tho question" to youug men. Crimes involving social virtue and purity arc punished by heavy line-, and Sabbath breaking and swearing by small fines. If a woman's husband absents himself from her lour yeiM she can marry again, and the code of laws has this provision : "If two married per sons do not live happily together, but j quarro!, and become famous for the s.'tmc, they shall be confined in irons each night separately in tlie s amo cell" until they cca*e quarreling." A Burst of Elotinnnso. Western nloqu.en.ca continues still ti improve. a Wisconsin reporter sends us the following sketch. a lawyer in Milwaukee was defending a haudso no young woman aceu:ed of stealing fro n a large unoccupied buildiu g in the night time, and thus he spoke in conclusion : '?Gentlemen of the jury, I am done. When I gaze with enraptured eyes on the matchless beauty of this pcorles virgin, on whoso resplendent charms suspicion never dared to breathe; when I behold her radiant iu the glorious bloom of lustrous lovliuoss which iingclic sweetness might envy but could uot eclipse; before, which the star ou the brow of the night grows pale, and the diamonds of Brazil aro dim;and then reflect upon the utter madness rod folly of supposing that, so much beauty would expose itself to the terrors of an empty building in the cold, damp dead of the night, when innocence like hers is hiding itself among the snowy pillows of repose; gentlemen of the jury, my ; feelings aro too overpowering for ex ! prossion, and I throw her into your I arms for protection agaiust this foul I charge, which tho outrageous malice of a disappointed scoundrel has invented to blast the fair name of this lovely maiden, whose smiles shall be the re ward of the verdict which I know you will give." She was acquitted instantaneously . Sheepskin Mats.

Then dissolve a half a pound ;ach of salt au 1 alum in throe pints of boiling water, put it into water cover tho (kin, which should bo soaked into tho snjutiou twelve hours, and then be hung on a lino to drain. When nearly dry, nail it wool side in oh a board, or tho side of a barn to dry. Rub into the skin an ounce oaeh of pulvert z cd alum and saltpetre; and if the skin is large double tho quantity.
