The following extract from the offi. ial proclamation of the Governor is nserted for the guidance of voters in he preparation of their tickets. W ave heretofore published the amend ~ents referred to in the extract. Ar ticle 99 is the disfranchising article o the Constitution; Article 50 is th ticle forbidding the election o he same individual as Governor, for cond term: And, whereas, at the same time, cer tain amendments to the constitutio f the State are required by law to b ubmitted to the people for ratificatio r rejection, to-wit: An amendment providipg that n rson who has been officially a de aulter to the State government sha e eligible to office until he shall hay btained a discharge from such liability The tickets of all persons voting o his proposed amendment shall hay written or printed thereon the words "For the amendment making de aulters ineligible to office;" or, "Against the amendment makin efaulters ineligible to office." An amendment providing a substi tute for article ninety-nine of th nstitution. The tickets of all persons voting o this proposed amendment shall hav ritten or printed thereon the words* "For the amendment of the ninety inth article of the constitution;" or "Against the amendment of th ninety-nintharticleofthe constitution.' An amendment to the effect tha rticle fifty of the constitution shall brogated and stricken out. The tickets of all persons voting o this proposed amendment shall hav ritten or printed thereon the words' "Abrogate and strike out articl fty of the constitution," or, "Retain article fifty of the constitu tion." An amendment limiting the debt o the State to twenty-five million dolla prior to the first of January, 1890. The tickets of all persons voting o this proposed amendment shall hay written or printed thereon: "For the amendment restricting th tate debt to twenty-five million dol lars," or "Against the amendment restrictin the State debt to twenty-five millio lollars." Union of Whigs and Democrats. Judge W. L. Sharkey, of Mississippi one of the ablest and best men in th uth--an Old-Line, Henry Clay Whi gives the following as some of th reasons why he co-operates with th Democracy: If any one should entertain suc eep-rooted prejudice against the name Democrat that hlie cannot ente into that party for the accomplishmen f even a good purpose, he is not gov rned by principle but by passion: h nks his principles under his prej udice. lie should remember that th former difference between Whigs an Democrats was a question of degre ather than of principle. And how an he go to a party whose excesses ar surpass those of the Democrati art as the rays of the sun surpass in rightness the mild beams of the moon have no such prejudice, nor can orget that opposition to the usurpa_ ons of Congress-opposition to its o ression of the South--opposition ts arbitrary exercise of despotic powe ver the Southern people-oppositio its utter disregardof all the reserve ights of the States was first comn enced by the Northern Democracy, though then greatly in the minority. heir noble efforts deserve the highecs ommendation, and I shall not abando them to join the party that has o ressed us. I am not particular abou ames, but look to principles and puri oses. There may be some who reason h his way: "T'he Radical party is in power. It will pursue and carry ou ts policy at any rate, and why oppeos t? It is better to go with it. Those who thus reason commit a great error, n error fatal to the perpetuity of an ree government. It was once said b n eminent man that, " for a people to e free, it is but for them to will it.'" With far more truth may it be said, that for a people to be slaves it is bu or them to assent to it, or to acquiesce n the abuse of power. The people ught to know that their liberty is pro ected only by their Constitution un 'mpaircd and held inviolate, and tha t will fail to protect them against the neroaching spirit of power when the .isively submit to its violation. 'r only hope lies in a determined, .vering resistance to every infrac L:.,n, by all the means in their power. A bad precedent tolerated becomes aw, and is sure to be followed by oth rs still more aggravated. '"'hus thei onstitution soon becomes :man obsolet orm, observed by none, respected b none. To this end is the olicy of the Radical party rapidly tent|ing; and for his reason-to arrest such a calamity the Whigs and Democrats have uni ed as a party to oppose them. SSince the termination of the Au trian war, not a railroad car has eve been constructed in Prussia or any o i~ts dependenciel--Saxony, Bavaria, o aden-in whiclx the primary idea o its construction has not been military capacity and construction, rather tha passenger or merchandise traffic. Two hundred Chinamen have\ ar rived at Selma, to work on the S61m and Gulf railroad for three years. Th interprcter is to receive 875 a mont and the foremen $40 per month each. i!he laborers are to receive 816 -p ,onth in gold, free board, lodging an qfuel. Return of the Government. After two months and a half of fun rolic and flirtation at the first-o atering-places of the country, th dministration is going to lay aside i unday coat and soiled kids, and re ume the active pursuits of offcial life his is hardly necessary in the on of the people, who have got alo o admirably without a Governmen ince the 15th of July, that they woul ot seriously object to see the seaso t Long Branch declared perpetual ut that season has expired y act o imitation, and the gay Chief Enginee f th9 Government and his festive istants return to the Capital as a ma or of necessity. There is nowhe Ise to go-there is nothing else to do hey have got back-the most of the and now for work. The country owever, must not expect too much o em at once.

I.N M IZ 4"., S^~^ ;rin~ rr ýtora osiesr wiorý"slll t wmad An extra charg. of 25 pe cent will in tuareobe made on all at. above one inch n width, and upon all- dombldoo.mn ad e"e.ents a simluar chag gil be rmade e Strasbeurg Cathedral Clek ma *Lnub . One of the most lamentable results f the siege of Strasbourg, leaving out view the loss of human life, is the 'ury which the bombardment has in nte upon the noble cathedral and to wonderful astronomical clock. The ast cathedral, which, perhaps, more han any other one thing, has made the same of Strasbourg celebrated, is one f the finest Gothic buildings in Eu pe. It was founded A. D. 604. The heir was built by Charlemagne, prob ly A. D. 600, though it was noteom loted until 1489. The material of hich the cathedral is built is a brown tone, very much resembling our Con ecticut Portland freestone, so exten ively used in Fifth avenue. It was btained from a quarry at Wassebonne n the valley of Couronne, a few miles r Strasbourg. The architect of the xisting edifice was Erwin von Stein h, of Baden. One John Huells, of logne, was the architect of the peer ess tower. Its spire is the loftiest in e world. Its height, 466 feet, sur a St. Peter's, and is about equal that of the great Pyramid. The ter part of the entire structure was estroyed by lightning in 1007 and the tored edifice was begun in 1015 and ompleted in 1489. The cathedral is 'n every part richly decorated with ulptures; and the western front, ris ng to a heighth of 230 feet, is, or was, rtieulerlyfine with its wealth oistat es, ornamented carvings, and bas-re 'efs. It has a circular window 38 feet n diameter. The Prussian heavy ar 'llery has made, it is said, a ruin of art of the vast building. The astronomical clock, the produce f a German clockmaker, in about the ear 1650, is a marvel of ingenuity and echanical skill, and has no counter rt. It performs not only the ordina service of a clock, but exhibits the ays, and the months, and the years; he process of the seasons, the sgnas of e zodiac, and the names and move ents of the heavenly bodies. At each uarter hour an angel comes eut and 'kes one stroke on a bell.; at every our an angel comes .out and strikes ice, and at 12, meridian, afegare of hrist appears, accompanied by the elve Apostles, all of 'whom move round a central point and passin, out sight, by another door the stroke of elve being given, and a cock flaps wings and crows. The clock is en rmous in size, like everything else con ected with the vast cathedral, and is nvisible from the outside street-the pectator passing through the nave of he cathedral to see it. It has suffered rom fire and violence before the pres nt year, having been out of repair and otionless since the revolution of 1798, ntil the year 1842, when it was re aired by a watchmaker of Bas-Bhin, nd has been in operation since. It is o be hoped that this ingenious piece f mechanism has not been irreparably *jurod by the present bombardment. The loss of the Strasbourg library a vast collection of 800,000 volumes, ncluding many collections of rare and urious monkish parchments-is total nd irreparable. It can never be re laced byany collection hereaftesmade. t was the slow result of a thousand ears; and its destruction by fire, caused y the Prussian hot shot, is like the burning of the Alexandrian library in this, that of a great number of the works destroyed no duplicates can ever be obtained.--Hartford Times. TILE RETICULE. Fanny Fern invites Eugenic to come to this country as a public lecturer. "My wife, said a critic, "is the most even-tempered person in the world she is always mad." A widow lady of Lima, New York, has sent to the Baptist Home Mission the last dollar she had in the world. Who is going to be leader of the fash ion now? Eugenie is leading it too far into the country. Imperial prints ap pear to have gone out. A young gentleman and lady, a few lays since, walked to Emlenton, Pa., a "istance of forty miles, to see the cir ius, and returned by the same convey ance. A Boston dry goods firm has a lady customer whose bill for goods purchased For her personal wear, during the nine months ending July 30 last, footed up over $9,500. .Out in Minnesota the ladies use blank forms of proposal, where men are too bashful to propose. So, if a man courts a girl as long as she thinks is necessa ry, and don't ask her the important question, she goes to a stationer and gets a blank form, fills it out, and hands it to the chap, and of course he can't refuse to sign his name to it. "Popping the question made easy" is what it is called. An Englishman would substitute metals for coal as fuel for ocean steam ars, and has patented his method, claim ng that by it a larger amount ofsteam can be obtained from a given quantity f fuel. The theory is as follows: In ombustion a large amount of the coal s turned into gas, much heat becomes atent and goes to volatilize the solid. hen zinc, iron, or manganese isburn d, the resulting oxide is a dense solid, and but little heat is wasted as vapor *s not produced. The result of obtain ing the cosmical heat latent' in the at mosphere is that one pound of zinc will aporize more than quadruple the steam and the oxide of the metal may subse uently be readily reduced. Itis well nown how small a proportion of coal compared with iron is used in the fur aces of iron founderies, where the artial combustion of the iron itself in reases the heat produced by the com ustion of the coal. The invention pparently rests on strict scientific ounds.
