ONE CoNsoLAr1oN.-It is SO far fortu-
nate that the gentlemen's fashions do
not keep pace with the ladies', or else
by this time, their hats would have
dwindled down to the size of charity
boys muffin cap, and their trousers
would have swelled out to the size OF
those of a Turk and Duchman stitched
together.

DRIED SCOTT SLAVE CASE

DRIED SCOTT SLAVE CASE.
The following is brief summary of
the facts in the bred Scott case, now
pending in the Supreme Court at
Washington
DR.. Emerson of the U. S. Army,
took with him from Missouri slave
named bred Scott, as body servant,
to military post at Rock Island, in
the State of Illinois. After remaining
there two years, he removed to Fort
Smelling, which is north of the line of
36 deg. 80 min. At this last post,
q slave woman, brought there by Ma
ior Taliafero, and owned by him, was
married to bred Scott, and they had
two children, one Of whom was born
at this post, and another after the
parties had returned to Missouri.
Neither of these slaves were ever
manumitted by their owners, but un-
der the Constitution of Illinois, slave
ry is prohibited, and bred Scott could
have asserted his right to freedom in
that State. The other post where
Scott and his wife resided, was in a
territory from which slavery is ex-
Guided by the Missouri act of 1920.
Scott and his wife were sold by
their owners to Sanford, against
whom the suit was brought for their
freedom. Scott claimed that, having
been voluntarily carried by his owner
into free State, and having been
there domiciled, he was, upon his vol
UNFAIRLY return with his master to
Missouri, free man there, in virtue OF
his temporary residence in free terri
tory. The same claim was made in
behalf of his wife. The Missouri
Court decided adversely to the claim,
on the ground that the temporary resi-
dence in free State did not make
them free in Missouri, unless their
owners had signified by some act an
intention to manumit them by taking
them into free territory-which did
not appear to be the fact in this case.
bred Scott appeals to the .. 5. Su-
preme Court.
The case involves the right to travel
with slaves through free territory, as
in the Lennon and Wheeler cases.

BY DANIEL WEBSTER

Mr.. Webster at more than one period of his
life dallied with the muses. In 1925, he hao
the mis- ,rtune to lose son, three years of age
named Charles, represented to have possessed
a singular attractiveness of mind and character
even at that early age On that occasion Mr.
Webster enclosed the following effusion in ,
letter to his wife -
NV son, thou vast my hearts delight,
Thy morn of life was gay and CHEEKY;
That morn has rushed to sudden night,
Thy fathers house is sad and dreary.

And kiss d thee laughing, kiss d thee weep

The staff, on which my years should lean,
Is broken, ere those years come o er me;
NV funeral rites thou should st have seen,
But thou art in the tomb before me.
Thou rear'st to me no filllal stone,
No parent grave with tears beholdest;
Thou art my ancestor, my son!
And stand st in Heavens account the Oldest.
On earth my lot was soonest cast,
Thy generation after mine,
Thou hast thy predecessor past;
Earlier eternity is thine.

The road to Heaven, and showed it clear;
But thou untaught spring'st to the skies,
And lcav'st thy teacher lingering here.
Sweet Seraph, would learn of thee,
And hasten to partake thy bliss !!
And oh to thy world welcome me,
As first welcomed thee to this.
Dear Angel, thou art safe in Heaven.
No prayers for thee need more be made;
Oh |! let thy prayers for those be given
Who oft have blessed thy infant head.
