THE TEXAS CASE IN THE .sU-
RENE COURT,

This case was decided at the present
term of the Supreme Court, Chief
Justice Chase delivering the opinion Of
the Court. This case has excited great
interest, as it involved some of the most
momcntous political questions of the
period among others, whether, by the
act Of rebellion, the Southern States had
Mt any time ceased to be States Of the
Union, and their people, citizens of the
United States. II T'
Upon this question, after protrac'ed
consideration and lengthy aud exhaustive
argument by the ablest Constitutional
lawyers OF the country, the Court decides
that " the Constitution, in all its provis-
ions, looks 10 an indistructible Union
composed Of inlestruc!iblc States
The union between Texas and other
States was ms complete, as perpetual, and
as indissoluble us the union between the
original States. There was no place for
reconsideration or revocation except
through revolution or through consent OF
the States. Considered, therefore, as
transactions under tho Constitution, the
ordinance of secession adopted by the
convention, and ratified by a majority of

THE Internal revenue Law pertaining to
the sale Of Tobacco, in the form of cigars,
chewing, snuff, ETC., is very severe, and if
strictly enforced must annihilate the retail
trade in those articles. If retailer sells a
cigar, except taken at the time of sale from
the original box, he is liable to two years
Imprisonment and fine Of one thousand dol.
lars So in regard to chewing tobacco and
snuff-they must be retailed from the orig
inal package, or like penalty is incurred.
A retailer cannot take a handful of cigars
from a bcx in his showcase, place them up
on the outside glass aud sell one or more
from the lot without the risk of fine and i'm
prisonment; but he must let the customers
select from the box-the original package
himself. The unnecessary distractions to
the trade thus presented are calculated to de.
stroy it, and oppress large and industrious
class OF citizens. Snuff cannot be sold from
a jar, but must be taken from the bladder
the original package-by the cents worth.

TIE UTAH HYBRID CHERRY.-The Nor
mons Of Utah have started new cherry.
It is cross between the cherry and the wild
plum, producing dwarf tree with willowy
branches. The fruit approaches the size of
a plum, but retaining the distinct shape and
seed of the cherry. The taste is combina-
ton of both the plum and the cherry. 1t
is very prolific, snd trees year old are full
of fruit. Mr.. ]. E. johnson, who writes
about it, says that the best plan for making
a well.shaped tree is to bud it into the limbs
of two to three year old peach tree, about
four feet from the ground, aud then clip in
the limbs, so that they will not reach the
ground when loaded with fruit.

ONE Of the s'rangest places in Venice is
the Exchange for Pawn Brokerage. Itis in
one of the old palaces of the dukes 1t is
under the control Of the Government as
much as the Post Office. Soldiers parade
before the door, and men in uniform are in
attendance. The utmost order and system
prevails Not a loud word is spoken; no
crowd, no confusion are allowed. A molly
crew wait on this institution-men and wo-
men of all grades, characters, and dress, with
out shoes, bonnets, hats, 10 full dress, and in
the garbs of medicants. They stand in a
long line, waiting their turn at small win
dow. The goods they have to pawn are all
the way up from dilapidated clothes to
watches and diamonds. A regular tariff is
placed on every thing; such q percentage
only is allowed. A small billet is given to
the depositor, who uses it as a check, and
goes to another window where the money is
paid. Goods can be redeemed at acy time
after twenty>fOur hours. A small fee only
is charged for the use ofthe money. Soldiers
and guards are in every part of the building
to preserve order. p,

Coon SENSE AMONG THE MoRMoNs.-
In all the Mormon schools there is depart
ment which relates entirely to instruction in
the every day duties of business men, and is
similar TO the commercial colleges in this part
of the country. There is a post Office, a
telegraph office, an express Office, tithing
Office, Offices for banking, insurance, and the
sale Of railroad tickets, in short the endeavor
is to teach pupils what they will need most

A GOLDEN THoUGHT.-I never found
heartlcss pride in a noble nature, nor hu-
mility in an unworthy mind. Ofall the trees,
1 observe that God has chosen the vine, a
low plant that ereeps along the wall; of all
the beasts the patient lamb; Of all the fowls,
the patient dove. When God appeared to
Moses, it was not in the lofty cedar, nor in
the spreading palm, but in bush-as if he
would BY these selections check the conceited
arrogance of man. Nothing produces love
like humility; nothing hate, like pride.

IF WE KNEW.

If we knew the woe and heartache
Waiting for US down the road,
II our lips could taste the Wormwood,
If our back could feel the load,
Would we waste the day in wishing
For g time that ne'er can be;
Would we wait 10 such impatienee
For our ships to come from sea?
If we knew the baby fingers,
Pressed against the window>pane,
Would be cold aud stiff Tomorrow
Never trouble us again
Would the bright eyes of our darling
Catch the frowu upon our brow,
Would the print of rosy fingers
Vex us then as they do nOw2
Ah these little ice-cold fingers,
How they point our memories back
To the hssty words and actions
STrewn along our worldly track!
How those little hands remind us,
As in snowy grace they lie,
Not to scatter thorns-but roses
For our reaping BY and by.
Strange we never prize the music
Till the sweet-voiced bird has flown;
Strange that we should slight the violets,
Till the lovely flowers are gone;
Strange that summer sky and sunshine
Never seem one half so fair,
As when winters snowy pinions
Shake their white down in the air
Lips from which the seal Of silence
None but God eau roll away;
Never blossomed in such beauty
As sdorns the mouth to-day
And sweet words that freight our memory
With their beautiful perfume,
Come to us 10 sweeter accents
Through the portals Of the tomb.
Let us gather up the sunbeams
Lying all around our path;
Let US keep the wheat and roses,
Casting out the thorns and chaf;
Let us find our sweetest comfort
In the blessing of to>day,
With patient hapd removing
All the briers from our way.

THE Ohio democrats have put in nomina-
ton for Governor the patriot soldier Ross>
Grams, than whom they could not have made
more fortunate choice. His characteristics
as a public man require neither recital nor
adulGtion. With vigorous popular backing
he can unquestionably complete the demo
cratic programme in Ohio by harmonizing
the political character Of the Legislature and
the gubernatorial Office. With statesman
like soldier like Rosecrans for the'demoeratie
candidate in Ohio, and another like Hancock
10 Pennsylvania, and Hoffman in the EEecu'
tive chair in New York, the sentiment OF the
country is likely to End palmer and more et-
fecLive expression than it has of late, and the
great Middle States will be able 10 erect
something like a fixed barrier against the
further invasion Of the tide Of radicalism.
The Ohio democrats are awake to the issues
of the day, and determined to force an earn
est contest for better practices in government
a wise public policy and sound Constitutional
principles. Their entire ticket cOmmends
itself to the confidence and support of the
people Of the State.-BostOn Statesman.
