Important Action Of the Supreme
~ 5000 a.Ntt' Court. i.I ti.'- 81 s3i

4 Z Court. .t..t. ..' s.'i
This important event was rather prema-
turey announced some weeks ago upon the
occasion of the making of an order by the
Court directing call of cases docketed from
the South in common with those from the
North. We have thought proper to await a
competent and final conclusion in law of the
question. Yesterday, in regular order of BUSH
ness, the case of Newell, appellant, VS.. Nor
ton, libellant-a case in admiralty, arising
upon boat collision in 1858, on the Missis-
sippi river--was called under the order re-
ferred to, and the Court entered upon the
merits of the case as Of course.
The laws of the United States are in I'M
INSTRUCTED operation throughout all the States,
and therefore the practical constitutional rela-
tons of the several States SO far as they con-
Germ the Executive branch, are restored. To
this may be added second of the three CO.
ordinate branches The other of the great
tripod of the nation is still out of practical
relation--the Legislature. Here we may in
quire, what could better demonstrate how fic-
titious are alleged obstacles to a restoration of
social and political harmony when the magis-
try of the country is in unquestioned aud pre-
valent supremacy-a fact from its nature in
consistent with any form of cognizable dis
loyalty National Altelige1cer, 22d., .-- M.

horse can live twenty-five days without
solid food, merely drinking water, he can
live seventeen days without food or drink,
but only five days when consuming solid

What q Newgpaper doe fOr Nothi

The following article should be read
pondered we'll by every man who take -,
newspaper without paying for it.
"My observation enables me TO state, as
fact, that publishers Of newspapers are
more poorly rewarded than any other class
of men in the United States who invest an
equal amount of labor, capital and thought.
They are expected to do more service for
less pay, to stand more spOnging and dead
heading" to puff and defend more people
without fee or hope or reward. than any
other class.
They credit wider and longer, get oftener
cheated, suffer more pecuniary loss, are
oftener the victims of misplaced confidence
than any other calling in the community.
Most people pay printers bill with much
more reluctance than any other. II goes
harder with them TO expend dollar on
valuable newspaper, than ten on q needless
gewgaW; yet everybody avails himself Of
the use Of the press.
How many professional aud political
regulations and fortunes havs been made
and sustained by the friendly though un~
requited pen OF the editor? How many
embryo towns and cities haVe been brought
into notice and pulled into prosperity BY
the press? How many railroads now in
successful operation, would have foundersd
but for the clever that moves the worlds?
Il short what branch of industry or enter
prise has not been promoted, stimulated
and defended by the press?
And who has rendered it more thar,

cally worthless, and paid for with sorupu.

The Evening Star.
BY ELLA LILLIAN STEPHENSON.

The twilight shades are falling FAST
And the shadows swift doth creep
Athwart the sky, whil5 holy hush
Wraps nature in silence deep;
But cleaning bright in the azure dome,
In its radient home afar,
Dispeling the shades which falleth fast,
Shineth the '' Eveing Starr
To the weary soul, the troubled mind,
The passion-wrecked, lonely heart,
This beautiful Star in its heavenly home
A lesson Of bliss viii impart;
1t bids Us hope, nor longer doubt
To Danish care and fears
Look up from earth to the glorious place
Where the Evening Star" appears!
Bind the promise of hope to thy heart,
And the shadows away viii roll;
Friendship and love, with hope viii bring
Sweet peace to thy troubled soul.
Look up, look up, with earnest faith,
To the world of bliss ATARI
Zen now aronnd thee falls the beams
From the beautiful " Evening star';l
1t smiIeth down, my lonely friend,
1t casteth a hopeful ray
Across thy path-'t win Danish fears
And rend the veil away
Which long hath wrapt thy soul in gloom,
In sorrow, and pains dark night
From brow and heart the shades viii das
When appears that Star so bright.
The storms of life will fall on thee,
And cause thee bitter pain;
Disappointment oft viii wound thy beart:
But the storm win beat in vain
If thou'lt only brave the tempest,s wrath,
And look to the dome above,
ThOu'lt see 'bove the clouds the silver edge
Of the fair, sweet Star of Love.

Chaplain,
Nm. PomrOy the able editor of the la.
Crosse (Wis. Democrat gives the following
death-bed scene, which be witnessed in
his recent visit to Chico b:
The Rev. Henry Clsnard, aa ex-army
chaplain who left off expOunding Bible and
recruiting for the Saviour, and by indors-
ing the nigger and abolitiOnists, became an
army chaplain in one of the Wisconsin regi-
ments, passed from life to home beyond a
blessed immortality. the other dsy, and
thus shufaed off his:mortal coil.
A physician had called on him two or
three times a day for month, doctoring
him for an ague brought on while stealing
cotton in Arkansas while with Gen. Curtis.
On learnig that the ex-minister and ex-
chaplain would hardly live the night out,
we calledswith the physician.
In little wooden looking room not over
twelve feet square, in an obscure boarding
house in Chicago we found the invalid
The room was bare of furniture except a
poor bed, little dirty washstand, two
wood-bottou chairs, an old trunk, a pine
table, on which was spread newspaper on
which lay an old Bible, pair of old snuff
ers, some pill boxes and such stuff. The
dying man prOpped up in bed, while {
faithful negro woman sat on the foot Of tht
bed. AS We entered, he rallied little anC

The Louisville Joag7aal, of 18th inst, has
another fierce diatribe from Prentice, in
reply to the recent publications of Brown
low, in the Knoxville Wing. upon the pro-
prietors of the Journal. AS may be ex-
pected, the rejOinder is not the most com
plimentary eulogium in the language. If,
as Jack Shivers ayers, in reference to the
recent satrical infiction upon the Guberna-
torial shoulders, ''you could er burd the

lent will shine more clearly, and the
sun of genius encounter no yapors in its
passage. It is the most exquisite beauty
of fine face-a redeeming grace in a
homely one. It is like the green in the
landscape-harmonizing with every color,
mellOwing the glories of the bright, and
softening the hue of the dark, or, like a

sound not at first discovered by the ear,
yet filling up the breaks in the concord
with its soft melody.

SQuARING THE CRcLE.-The last num-
Der Of the Scientific american says that one
of its correspondents claims the solution Of
the long mooted problem Of squaring the
circle. 1t ridicules its correspondent, yet
gives his rule, which is: "To find the
circumference of circle, take eleven four
teenths Of the diameter and multiply by
four; or, in other words, take forty-four
fourteenths Of the diameter, which gives
the circumference" The area he finds
"by multiplying eleven fourteenths Of the
diameter by the diameter. Seven-elevenths
Of the area Of the circle is the area Of
the square contained in the circle. The
square root of the area Of the circle will
give the sides of square equal in area to
the CIRCLE" To which the american adds !:
There are no sums representing equally
any portion of a circle and the sides of q
square 50 the attempt to make the two
coincide must be forever futile"
The best and shortest way Of squaring
the circle is to find the square root of o
round number, 1--WE don't mean the num-
berseusuaHy called "round," such as one
hundred). Whoever can find the square
root Of, say two hundred, can square the
circle.
