effects Of this decision will be TO bring nj

the rebel States, and all sentence. bv Mill.
tsry courts in those States, under thu
supervision of the Supreme Court. Thu
Court, by this decision, elaine that the
repeal of that clause Of the Reconstruc
ton Act of March Z, which gave iuris
diction to the United States Circuit and
District Courts in unreconstructed States
and, Of course, appellate jurisdiction Il
the Supreme Court, under which the No
Ardle case was brought up and dismissed
because the clause which had been re
pealed was not necessary to give the Couri
jurisdiction in the rebel States. The Cour,
claims the United States Courts had iuris.
diction there without the repealed act
and that, therefore, the repeal made nc
difference. In other words, they decide
that the civil authority of the United
States extends over the rebel States, and
that the military power is subservient
The actual point decided is that the Su.
preme Court has the right to issue writ
Of habeas corpus to bring Yerger home,
and then to order his unconditional dis.
charge If it sees proper, although he has
been tried and convicted of the murder
of military officer while in the discharge
Of his duty in an unreconstructed State.
The moral effect of this decision is the
assertion that the military have no power
to punish any crime committed in the
rebel States, but the criminals must be
tried before local courts composed OF
rebels. This will be taken by those of the
ku-KluD persuasion as a virtual license
Tor any outrage upon Yankees or freed
men. The political effect Of this decision
will probably be the success Of the Demo
cratic tickets in Mississippi and Texas, as
there will be nothing to prevent the in
Of loyal voters. President
Grant is, however, master Of the sit~-
alton, as he has approved the death sen-
tence Of Yerger, and can at any moment
order him TO be hung, or be can direct
the military, who holds the prisoner, to
turn him over to the civil authorities on
the charge of murder, and TO demand his
rial. The legal advisers Of the Presi-
lent have the matter under consideration,
and it will receive the careful attention
which it demands.

THE LATE EARL OF DERBY, HIS
FAMILY AND BELoSGINGs-The Even.
ing Post gives the following interesting
gossip:
The Earls of Derby take their title not
from the town or borough of that name
in central England, but from the hundred
of Earl Derby in Lancashire. Lord
Derby, in common with SO many other
English noblemen, was only cadet of his
house. The senior branch, the Stanleys
of Horton, in Cheshire, still survives ia
the male line in the person of Sir Row
land Stanley Errington, who retains the
ancient faith of his family; he assumed
his last name for fortune. He has two
daughters, one Of whom lie the wife of
Viscount Pollington, eldest SON of the
Earl of Coesborough, but having neither
son NOR brother, at his death the direct
senior male line will become extinct.
The branch of the family which formerly
held the sovereignty of the Isle Of Man,
a. will be remembered BY the reader Of
"Peveril Of the Peak" became extinct In
the male line early in the last century,
AID the heiress-viscountes Stran e, in
her own right-married the oldest son of
the Duke Of Atbole.
About thisty years ago the Athole fam
lily surrendered all their seignorsl rights
and interest in the island for e4O0, zoo.

~ A young man living in Kingston,
N. T., went to see his girl the other night,
and when he started for home, the night
being dark, his inamorata gave him
a red paper lantern to light his lonely
way. He took the railroad track and was
walking leisurely along, his mind, no
doubt, filed with agreeable thoughts of
the fair one he had just left, when his
reve1ie was ended by some one in the
rear, who gave the Chinese lantern q
kick, and sent it flying. Confound you, !"
said the person from behind, "here I've

looking behind him the young man saw .

learned during the year in which they
have carried on their struggle with the
Spanish troops. Both officers and soldiers
have learned a great deal about fighting,
and about the most effective ways Of car
rying on military operations. Until latc-
ly, they were very ratr, aud suffered
much from the want OF organization, dis
cipline, and experience But now they
have a large number OF capable Officers,

Purpose expressed above. One Of our lat
est foreign exchanges states that ths Soci-
ETY. Of Arts have given prize of fifty
guineas and the gold medal to the discov-
erer, and that Mr.. Mechi reports favorably
on its merits after trial in practice:
1.-THE mechanism is very simple and un-
costly. A rapidly revolving fan, driven
by horses or by steam power, Is attached
to the smoke-box of coke furnace, and
"a gauze screen Intervening withdraws
all the heat which would be carried up
the chimney or shaft, and be wasted, and
diffuses it among the grass or corn sheaves
exposed to its blast. Grass cut and at
once brought to the mouth of the hot
blast is converted in eight or ten minutes
into fine green hay of the very best quail
ity, fit for immediate sale or consumption.
Grass contains IS per cent. of water 60
per cent. Of this passes off in steam,
leaving the dry hay with its usual Is per
cent. of water"
Grain in the sheaf is dried in the same
way, and it is asserted that this method
of drying does no harm. The fan is
worked by two horses, or by small steam
