MILITARY CoMNissIoSs.-The military
arm Of the United States is still potent
in the unrcconstructed States. \ test
case in regard to the power and legality
of military commissions arose in Texas.
In September of last year, a murderer,
not in the service OF the army or navy,
was tried, convicted and condemned by
court-martial. The execution of the
sentence was stayed, and an appeal
agains, the legality of the military jHr-
isdiction was made TO the authorities at
Washington. The matter was referred
to tho Attorney General, by the Secre.
tary Of War, and Mr.. fioar has jus.
rendered . very full and elaborate
opinion, covering every point suggested
by the case, and comes TO the concln-
sion, that there is no legal reason why
the sentence OF death, pronounced by
the military commission, should no. be
carried into execution. This opinion
will, probably, do much toward allny-
ing /" disorders in Texas" .

Jury brought in their verdict, but re-

the court u story Of a lady he once

THEY are doing the Sunday business
somewhat thoroughly Mt Indianapolis.
The attempt to enforce the Sunday laws
upon the retailers Of liquor in that city
has brought the latter to the resolution
of applying that ancient aud time-hon.
ored law maxim, 90 What's sauce Tor the
goose is sauce for the gander.' Last
Sunday, pursuant TO the plan agreed to,
nearly all the liquor-sellers closed their
shops. That gave them time to note
the fact that citizens in divers other
kinds of business did not shut up shop.
Therefore, on Monday morning last, All
davits were made for the arrest Of all
the livery-stable keepers, all the menu
bers and employees of the street railway
companies, all the editors, writers, re-
portcrs, and compositors of all the daily
newspapers, and everybody else who
could be charged with breakiugthe Sab
bath by doing business on Sunday. The
preachers seem TO have been the only
class of Suuday-workers who were not
accused of violating the law but why
they should be exempt does not appear.
Hereafter, indianapolis is resolved to be
u moral, pious, and Sabbath-keeping
city. II one lawful occupation may be
Inhibited on Sunday, then all lawful &C.
equations may ; and If one is n "desc-
Grafton of the Sabbath" then all are,
including the preaching Of laborious
sermons. When one begins a moral
se''rnotion by statue, one may as well

Nor Coon FOR HrM.-Annn Dickinson
is clounent and laxative. More than
this, she does not allow her powers to
lie idle. The last lecture was in New
York. In tho course of her lecture she
went back to the Garden Of Eden for
proof Of the correctness of the position.
Here is her hit; if not logical it is GER
tainly witty. She said: "God saw
that 1t was not good Tor man to be alone.
If it was not good for him to be alone in
the Garden Of Eden, amid the influence
of nature, it is certainly not good for
him to be alone in Washington or AL
bany-(cheers and lauShter)-amid the
influence Of lobbyists. corrup'ionists,
and whisky rings, and the best proof OF
it is the way in which these men have
hitherto conducted the affairs of the mn.
ton. Government is simply national
housekeeping. Does any responsible
N keep house so badly rs the Uni
ted States-Qaughter)-with so much
bribery, so much extravaganza, so much
se%lfshness, so much quarrcling in the
domestic councils?

TINS DAUGHTER OF THE PERIOD
There is much good sense in the words
Of the Brooklyn Monthly relative to the
girls Of to-day:
"The daughter marries either the
richest man sh" can get, or the most
fashionable ono Of her set, or she is
married for her fathers money. Her
wardrobe is the most costly that a be
found. Her honeymoon is passed in
cars, steamboats, and hotels, in n whirl
of fatigue and excitement. Not being
able to .keep house in the same style as
her father-nnd nothing less luxurious
would suffice Ler-shc goes to n fashion
able boarding house to reside. There
she is surrounded by extensively
dressed, idle women, who have no ap.
parent object in life but shopping,
dressing and gossipiug. She soon
makes an intimate friend of one Of them,
and commences the same vapid, aim
less, u~nsanctified life. Her little chill.
dren, born in this goddess existence,
are lief, to the entire charge Of nurses,
and sometimes escaping from the rigi-
lance of Bridget or Lissei,e, are seen
wandering around tho forbidden pre-
ciucts of the pnrlors and halls, with the
scared looks Of little criminals evnding
the police. No morning and evening
sacrifice of prayer and praise has fallen
on their ears II hurried prayer TO the
nurse, while half asleep they are going
to bed, is all they know or have been
taught of the higher duties Of life.
On Sunday, in these ca~rnranseries, the
household, with a few exceptions, arises
too late to attend morning services, or
il they do, it is only another ministra-
ton Mt tho shrine of fashion. Dinner
on the Sabbath is full dress affair, and
the conversation is just AZ worldly ms
usual"

A Practical JoxE.-a party ofladies
the other day to have q pic
mic or May party. They decided that
the male specimens Of humanity should
not be present. The poor fellows who
were ruled out felt bad about it. They
swore vengeance. II was very ungnl-
Ian. in the gentlemen, we will admit.
The ladies were not to be daunted by
threats. "When II woman says sue VIII
you may Depend ont" They made all
the necessary arrangements. y goodiy
supply Of eatables was procured, and a
conveyance was engaged. The day Sc
lected for tho picnic was n beautiful one.
The sky WAS clear, not n cloud WAS 10
be seen. The ladies were about taking
their seats il the vehicle winch was To
convey them to the picnic grounds
when a gentleman who had stopped 10
see them off, casually remarked that
they had selected II dangerous
place to hold y picnic, as there
was a band Of Indians encamped near
Smiths Ferry on the Bellevue road.
This announcement shook their courage
somewhat; but one little vixen, who
seemed to furnish the courage for tue
entire party, said she would 70 there
alone (; if they were afraid to accom-
pany her, they might remain at home.
They said that =" they were not afraid
to 90 anywhere" So crack went the
whip, and away went the wagon. 4
drive of about one hour brought them
to a beautiful picnic ground on the
banks of the Mississippi, near Smiths
Ferry. They had not alighted from the
wagon, but were debating the respec-
tive merits Of the two camping grounds
situated in the immediate vicinity, when
there arose up, rs if coming out of the
ground, about a dozen Indians-paint,
feathers, moccasius, blankets, and all.
The Indians seized tho reins, and by
gestures gave them to understand that
they must leave the wagon and pro-
visions with them. The ladies were
glad TO escape with their lives, and will
lingly started on foot toward home.
They had not proceeded more than
three-quarters Of a mile when they
were intercepted by u party Of their
gentlemen friends, to whom they re-
lated their grievances. They gave vent
to n certain amount of coincidence, and
Thea informed the ladies that they we're
having a picnic, and had a quantity OF
eatables which they would be pleased
to share with them. The ladies were
escorted to n beautiful spot near the
road, where they found II table spread
in anticipation OF their coming. It was
| grooming under the weight Of the very
goodies of which they had been de.
spoiled. THETA horses stood near by.
under the trees, composedly brushing
away the flies, aud strewn about on the
grass were blankets, features, ETC.
