The Supreme Court of Ohio decided
the case of Alfred J Anderson, ,agt. Thorn
as MiIligen on Tuesday last. The Cour
held that persons having mixture of Af
rican blood in their veins, the preponder
ance being white, we're by the Constitu
ton of lsQl entitled to exercise the cleo
tive franchise, and tba! no change having
been made in this respect by the Consti
tuition of 1851, the plaintiff having bu
one-eigth Of African blood, and his vote
having been refused at the President
election of 1856, for that reason alone
therefore the Court held that he is enti
tied to recover for the violation of toe
right conferred on hin By the Constitu
ton. TIE decision was unanimous.

Col. Forney was enthusiastically vel

he would be in the future will not be at

He stood upon the sacred right of self-
government, neither more nor less. That
principle was the stronghold of whatever
was left of political freedom in this coun-
try. It was tho irrepressible clement at

Some naturalized citizens of Irish birth,
residing in the Town of Menesha, Wis.
having been accused of selling out to the
Republicans, Michael Hogan, one of their
number cones out in letter to The Can.
SerUatOr, with a statement Of bis reasons
for leaving tho Democrats. He declares
be attached himself to that party, believ.
ing, Ia common with many of his couu-
trymen that they were the friends of the
laboring man. particularly those of for
eign birth. He has boen with them long
enough to know that these professions
are false, and made to delude the igno-
rant The millions of laDdless poor from
Europe had q right to expect that the
Homestead bill would receive a hearty
support at the hands of party that owed
its ascendency TO their votes; but they
had been doomed to disappointmeDt.-
Labor should everywhere be honorable
but an effort is now making to degrade it.
Democratic Senators declare that "labor
is the Legitimate sphere of slaves; that la.
Dor should be owned and not hired, thus
striking blow at the very liberties OF
nine tenths of the Democratic voters of
the North, and no voice of condemnation
lis raised to protect u.s."

Has God got a Home for Tillie ?
BY A. D B.


The above question was asked by lit
tie girl of five summers, one wintry night,
when the cold winds were whistling .
cherries tune around her dwelling, and
when even one so young seemed to be
thinking of the comforts of home, and
70 the little class-mate of her Sabbath
school who had but just before been called
to the land o: Spirits.
"Has God got home for Tillie I"
o, yes. my darling child,
A home more blessed and perfect
Than ours by sin defled.
Yes, God has "hone" for Tillie,
And angels claimed her there
And they came and welcomed her tbitbel
An Angels crown to wear.
She dwels in her home in Heaven
And chants with the holy choir,
But Der earth friends are not forgotten
Whilst We to that home aspire.
Her pure and ethereal spirit,
A ministering angel now,
Comes often and whispers of Heaven
Though we know not when or how.
Yes, God has home for Tillie
And home FOR you and me,
And if we are always as faithful
With Tillie we yet shall be.

We are panied by intelligence of the death
Of Capt. Fl. B. SAWYER, of the Z. S. Navy,
which occurred Tuesday at his residence at
Washington, and was announced by tele-
graphic despatch to his brother, G. B. Saw
Err, Esq, Of this place, next morning.
Capt Sawyer was native of Burlington,
born, we think, in 1877, and was consequent
" about 63 years of age, at his decease. He
had been forty eight years in the public ser
vice, entering the Navy as Midshipman in
1912, and having reached the position of
POST Captain rank in the Navy attained,
we believe, by no other citizen of the State.
He was captured in the L. 5. Sloop of War
Eagle, in the severe engagement of June,
1913, on Lake Champaign, was a British
prisoner at Halifax for more than year,
was then exchanged, and was ordered to the
Constitution, on which he served during the
engagement which resulted in the capture OF
the British ships Cyane and Levant, in Feb,
1915. For his valuable services and good
conduct during the fight, and during the
chase and escape of the Frigate Constitution
from three British ships Of war on the 18th of
March, 1915, Capt. Sawyer received a sword
from the Legislature OF vt. in 1856.
He was subsequently to the year 1916,
in arduous service in the West Indies; but
a deafness occasioned by e clnn)nading at
the capture Of the Elgle, and injury to his
naturally strong constitution by yellow fever
Contracted during service against pirates in
the West Indies, compelled his retirement
from active service. and he was subsequently
stationed for a number Of years at PIatts-
ourgh. y. Y. He leaves a wife and five chill
dren. who with hisrelatives here, will have
lie sympathy of our community, in their
s.
Captain S1w-or was highly esteemed for
qualities as a gentleman and as an officer
b, al who knew him. We shall hope to see
fuller tribute u his merits and memory
from some pen better qualified for the task
than ours.

THE LECTURES At WINOOsKI.

A full aud attentive audience, chiefly comp sed
Of ladies', assembled at the Falls, on Saturday
ming, to hear the Rev Henry P. Cutting, now of
Castleton, formerly occasional and welcome
preacher in the Unitarian Church in this place.
His subject was " the liberalizng Influence Of
Literary Culture.
Mr. Cutting adopted Henry Reeds definition Of
Literature, as that which appeal, to man,
and enlarged upon De Qunceys distinction be-
tween tn'' vs. -'--yf oud that Of potcer referring
to Mrs. Stoves great work as an exaurio ,r 49,
latter, and accounting for its world wide popular
ity, the ground of its appealing to the univer-
sal heart of mankind. Literary culture, he said
must be thorough When this condition j, fulfill
ed, its Hberalising influence follows because it is
favorable true spiritual and intellectual growth;
it creates sympathy between the leading minds !
of the world it developes and confirms a manly
character removes local prejudices. and makes
men no longer phil-amerjcan or philo-british but
ptlantHopic Literature opens into a universal
and undisputed field of thought; in its higher forms
it is catholic in its tone and its study brings us
into the company Of the spirits who have dwelt
in light. Literary culture is better than legal or
theological, with all respect TO lawyers and di-
vines. Theology, which deserves to be called the
highest of all sciences does sometimes fetter the
mind, stife inquiry and hang, like everlasting
milestone, round the neck of humanity 1t is !
rather accident, if mind comes out of a severe
theological training, with readiness to receive
all truth, whether it comes out of heaven or from
that other world which is sometimes represented |
as having no bottom.
Some of the obstacles to this tendency of litera-
ry culture exist in the false ideas and tastes of the
day. A woman is often looked upon as masculine
if she reads anything of deep thought. 1t is
sometimes regarded great accomplishment in
the softer to know little and say great deal,
and the same is true of some men, only little |
more so. To learn the literary tastes Of the day
go into a bookstore, and observe what books are
called for. The shelves on which lie Milton.
Shelley. Wordsworth, all the choice gems of
thought that have come down to us from past
centuries, are passed thoughtlessly by and people
turn to the newspaper counter and ask for the
". Y. Ledgeri

BAYABD TAYLOR.
BAYARD TAYL0R's LECTURE.

The Town Hall was crowded at an early
hour Tuesday evening, and when the lecturer
commenced there was not a seat to be had
except by the most diligent compression.
Mr.. Taylor's subject was 1.-THE animal
man, - that is the animal part of man, as
distinguished from the spiritual He spoke
of the dual na.1re OF man, one part or the
other having the ascendency in different ma
tions and at different times. " here the an
imal nature is fully developed, as in many
savage races, it might be expected that man
would become as agile as the panther he
hunts, and as swift as the deer. But he
does not fill out his nature, as do the brutes
the intellectual is not nourished, and the an
imal can not alone reach its highest point.
So to- the intellect may grow at the expense
of the body. The lecturer argued for the
proper and equal development of both parts.
and illustrated his discourse by frequent ref
erence to the different races of men he had
seen in his wanderings over the Globe He
considered the BcdOuins and Circassians as
the most finely formed and beautiful races
now existing. The American race lacks two
things. equilibrium and repose, their bodies
are too lank and bony, their movements too
sharp and angular We are eminentlv
fast race, and in our eager haste IN every
thing we overlook the proper development Of
the body necessary to keep the mind from
wearing out its casket too suddenly. In
consequence the race is smaller than it was
and to an alarming degree sickly. He
contrasted our countrymen at large
of the present day with their grand
sires Of the Revolution, amt with the fine
specimens of men yet to be found in this
State and Kentucky.
Mr.. Taylor thou ht there was more atten-
ton paid within few years to the sub
Ject of physical improvement, than before.
but yet there was not enough. We are still
too contemptuous of the body it is hardly /
thought proper to alIuds t, it in society.
and our physical deselerlcy is evidenced
by the character Of tn literature Of the day. /
OF which morbid emotion is the chief charac-
teristic. The heroes lnl r.roines of MODERN
novels suffer so intensely that it is marvellous
how they survive at all
There were many 9th T points IN Mr.. Tay-
lor's lecture which we have not room to par
ticularize. 1t was an interesting and highly
discourse. and though Mr.. Tay.
lor cinnot he called the ''apostle of indo-
lence, VS. tsI:'ils, 10 sad. We're very
necessary for our r-s>- race, he is a teach
er whose Observations oil n subject. for the
investigation of which few have had fuller
opportunities, are worthy of careful atten-
ton.
