that Governor Swami has promised to refuse to
sign the bill passed by the Legislature to rob the
Methodist Episcopal Church Of its church pro-
perry in the rural districts Of the State. Under

within live days after its passage is equivalent
to Veto and the act becomes null and void.
This bill was COTTON up by parties who have

THE EYES OF DELAWARE" will, we pre-
sumo, gov into IL historic phrase. Our
good and genial friesd karsner has made II
immortal with himself. Since the lombard
ment Of New Castle, or certainly not since
the heroic defence of Lewis, has there been
anything in the annals of Delaware equaling
the sublime heroism of General Thomas.
"Sir," said Mr.. X, "rhe eyes of 'Dela-
ware are upon your Nelson's signal that
England expects every man TO do his du
ty,' was not more sublime in its character
or more potential in its effects. 1t must
be confessed, however, that Adj Interim 5
reply does violently and suddenly lower us
to the ridiculous. His expression ~ shall
kick that fellow out, is neither heroic,
grand, nor worthy Of the dignity of the
occasion. Appalled, by the idea that his
native State looked upon him with question
ing anxiety, Ad Interim failed at the very
outset.
However, his failure does not dctract from
Mr.. karsners great success. We shall en-
balm his happy and heroic words with the
poem upon Delaware, which some Of our
readers may remembers
IS Stand up, stout little Delaware,
And let thy yoeys roll;
Though least among the Old Thirteen
We loyu thee for thy soul"

that the great work has been really and

ONE OF THE GREATEST CIVIL CASES which

Courts is that which has now come to a final
conclusion in the Supreme Court of the
United States, involving the legitimacy of
the celebrated Mrs. Gaines Of New Orleans,
and the ownership of property in that city
amounting 10 twenty millions of dollars.
The will of her father, Daniel Clarke, made
in 1913, was part of the matter in dispute,
