The Emperor and Empress OF Austria

correspondent of the Boston Transcript,
who saw them at the Opera in Vienna

ahase and the President.

Itis stated that Chief Justice Chase
has his eye on the presidency and that
he is shaping his course with the view
of securing a nomination from some par
ty, but from what party is not exactly
known. The Washington correspondent
Of the Cincinnati Commercial writes as
follows:
"The friends of Chief Justice Chase
are busy circulating story that the
postponement of decision on the appiI-
cation of Yerger for a writ OF habeas
corpus. was effected at the Instance OF
the President and his Cabinet. The tale
bears its own contradiction, for it is evl
dent that cabinet consultations, have
nothing whatever to do with the deilber'
ations of the chief judicial officer Of thu
land. 1t is asserted that Yerger's friends
did not file their application until the!

from Judge Chase for its favorable con

A CoNFEDERATE SOLDIER NOT En-

when Congress enacts a law which VT
secure education to every child in t o.
country, without reference to the g fines
and imprisonments" of Europe
l have in my mind a plan which I
think would secure the wished for results.
if Congress would ernbody it in statute
My plan is this To concentrate on each
child born in the United States the wise
use of the strongest affections of human
life-the parental affections. How can
the parental affections be brought into
steady and decisive action on this sub
ject? / answer thus:
Let Congress enact a law in these
words: No person, male or female,
born in the United States after the first
day of January, 1880, shall be married
in the United States who. cannot read,
write and cipher" This looks little
funny at first, but, when comprehensive
ly examined it looks sober and strong.
Let US look sharply at it for few
moments. Between this time and
1880 are eleven years. The child who
shall be born on the I'd day January,
1880, must live aud grow twenty years
DOloIC HC VI ShG eau Dc dL the SIIeSI
riageable age. Now put together these
twenty years and the eleven years, and
we have thirty-one years before the law
can come into practical operation. These
thirty one years viii be very precious
ones to us. They will be just what we
need to educate every family and every
parent in the Union into the meaning,
power, wisdom and benevolence Of its
provisions. Thus the law, taking hold
of the dearest interest and sweetest hopes
of human society, would slide into opera
tion without causing. anger or revulsion
and thus, through all coming time, the
strongest bond of affections and interests
of human life will be silently brought TO
bear on every son and daughter in the
United States, securing to every one,
without failure, education sufficient for
all the important duties and common
trials of life. -

heart, but it turns out that since his sud

himself up to dissipation, and went of
in one of his spells. The other is the
case of K Komissarow, the Russian peasant,
who saved the life of the Emperor, a
year or two ago, from the hand of the as
sassin. In gratitude for this service he
was made noble, and an estate worth
two million of dollars given him, besides
large pension, yielding more money
than he knew what to do with. His sud-
den elevation was too much for him. and
he gave himself up to all kinds Of ex-

ended his life with his own hand. When
