Nothing is more interesting or in,
structive than to observe which were
the firm and loyal States during the
dark days Of our history.
During the thirteen years prior to
the adoption of the Constitution in
1887, the general government had no
power of taxation. Even when ip
March, 1871, the whole of the States
assented to the |" Articles of Confedera-
tion," Congress had only the power Of
indicating what sums it stood in need
of, and of requesting each State 10
contribute the fair proportion which,
was its duty to pay. The adoptio4e

An INCIDENT OF TIE WAR.-In the pro-
gress of the battle of Bull Run, a youthful
orderly rode up to Col. Matheson to inform
him that the Black Horse Cavalry, shelter
ed from his observation by piece Of woods,
were coming up on the right, and said if he

ed, gave the protection that was desired,
and the Black Horse gave up its purpose
in that quarter. While the regiment. how
ever, was hdhering to this position, the
same youth who had impaired the previous
suggestion, rode up to the regiment again.
and told Col. Matheson he had better fall
back on Centreville, as his duty at that
point had been thoroughly performed. As
this was about the first sign Of orders with
one single exception he had received du-
ring the entire day, Col. Matheson felt
curious to know who this young Lieutenant
was. and whence these orders came; he
