The United States, plaintiff, Va. BsTj
Rosenberg, certificate of division Of opia-
ion between the Judge OF the Circuit
Court OF the United States for the South
ern District OF New York; Chief Justice
Chase delivered the opinion OF the court
dismissing the case for want OF jurisdie-
ton. The court then adjourned until
Thursday.
Chief Justice Chase to-day rendered
the decision of the United States Su-
preme Court ia the case Of the State Of
Texas against Geo. NJ. White, John
Childs, John A. Hardenburg and others.
The original suit was brought by the
State of Texas to restrain defendants
from recovering payment from the Ma
tional Government for certain five per
cent. Texas Indemnity bonds Of the
United States, which plaintiff claims ss
bslon ging to the State. The bonds, it is
alleged, were sold In 1866 by authority
Of the insurgent Legislature Of Texas !;
and the reconstructed Government Of
the State now seeks to prevent the pay
ment OF the value OF the bonds to the
holders, deriving the title Through said
insurgent Legislature. Various interest
ing and important collateral questions
we're also raised relating TO the jurisdic-
ton of the Court, tie ability Of the plain
tff to sue, etc. l'hs opinion of the Court,
which is very 10 & and able, concludes
ss follows: "0l Lhe whole case, there
fore, our conclusion is that the State OF
Texas is entitled to the relief sought by
her bill, and decree must be made &C
cordingly,'
Associate Judge GrIer dissented IS to
the jurisdiction and merits OF the cause,
holding that Texas is not State in point
Of fact, and therefore could not bring a
suit in this Court any more than could
the District OF COiumbia. AssOciRts JUS
tees Swayne and Miller dissanted as to
the question OF jurisdiction only.

The Farmers Wife.

Is there any position a mother can covet
for her daughter more glorious than to be
the wife of an honest, independent. happy
farmer, in a country like this ? To be the
wife of one whose farm is noted far and near
as a model of neatness and perfection of
cultivation To be mistress of a mansion
of her Own-a sWeet and lovely home? To
be the angel that fits through the garden
bidding the flowers bloom. and twining
roses and honeysuckles around the bed
room window, or sweetening their fra
GRANGE with her sweetest smile, or spread
ing the snowy cloth beneath the old oak at
door to welcome her husband as he returns
from bis toll even tipping the cradle with
her foot as she Plies the dasher with her
hand, or busily moves the needle, same
time humming joyous song of praise that
she is the beloved wife of an American
farmer-one of the true noblemen of this
country-one that should by right rank as
the pride and glory of Ameriea.-Er.

Manners.

Young folks should be msnnerly. But
how to be so is the question. Many a
good boy and girl feel that they cannot be-
have to suit themselves in the presence of
company. They feel timid, bashful, and
self-distrustful the moment they are ad-
dressed by stranger, OF appear in compa-
ny. There is but one way to get over this
feeling and acquire graceful and easy man
ners, that is to do the best they can all the
time at home, as we'll as abroad. Good
manners are not learned from arbitrary
teachings so much as acquired by habit
They grow upon US by use. We must be
courteous, agreeable, civil, kind, gentle
manly and womanly at home. and then it
will soon become kind of second nature
to be SO everywhere. A coarse, rough
manner at home begets a habit of rough
ness, which we cannot lay off if we try,
when we go among strangers. The most
agreeable people we have ever known in
company, are those that are perfectly agree
able at home. Home is the school for all
the best things, especially good manners.

The Great Eastern Outdone.

The model of the proposed rival of the
Great Eastern has been exhibited in San
Francisco. It is to be of the same size of
the Great Eastern, except that instead of %
feet it will draw only 18 feet. and carry
ProportiOnally less tonnage. 1t is designed
to carry four times as many passengers as
any present style of ship, and to substitute
for hunks regular beds. It will also give
four times as much space to a state-room.
The motion of the sea is to be rendered al
most imperceptible by new uevice. The
state-rOOms, instead Uf being at the out
side limits of the vessel. are along the cen
tre line of the ship, where the roll is
scarcely percePtible. The saloon is 10 be
500 feet long, and clear of Obstruc:iOus.-
It is not for dining. Instead of public
table, there are to be two competing res
taurants at the extremities adjoining the sa-
ICONS. The ship will sell passage only,
the board being payable as1 the meals are
ordered. Il is contemplated tokcarry Sc
nd class passengers and third class in
u same way. The present style of first
class hunks will be third class berths.

In depreciation of the just wrath We have
incurred, we can only exclaim ''mercy on
us!" Editorial plurality is oficiel Every
editor is welded to his paper, but this
does not involve the presence of that sort of
spouse who resembles paper iu color before
printing. and in multiplicity of words after.
We do not commit ourselves upon this
point, but we rather like the idea of send
ing mourning rings to delinquent subscri-
bers. as indicative of the state of mind to
which their failure to pay reduces Us.

Letter from Patty Partington

Mr.. EDITOR You had the impudence
to publish the other day that I am mas
oldest child. 1t is base and wicked false
hood, started by wicked people, to ruin the
character of an innocent girl. You say
that ali the editors are plural. 1 suppose
that means married. That is the reason
the papers are not fit to come in a decent
house. Your wives go about and hunt up
all the slanders, and you stay at home and
publish them. As for my part, I cannot
see why a merciful Providence permits
most married women to live, unless it is to
punish their husbands for having been
such fools as to marry them. It is enough
to make anybody believer in future tor
ment, to see what sort of wives men get,
and to think OF those they might have bad.
The lazy vixens and the ugly viragoes get
married but the good an beautiful are left
alone. But have faith to believe that the
men will go to the bad place for it, and they
will spend their time in piling up the Goals
on their wives, for all their laziness and
extravagance, and story y-telling and un-
sho
men will have the pick and choice of the
angels. The only comfort have is my
religion, and if it was not for these com
fOrIing hopes. do think would run era

come in with their brazen bOnuets and fine
dresses that their husbands sweated for,
and that they wear SO that they may delude
somebody else to marry them when they
get to be widows. coald tear the bonnets
from their heads and the hair along with
them. And they have taken to shingling
too. as if all their other wickedness was
not enough. When I see them showing
no sign of repen lance for all their vileness,
and still carrying on the same bad, deceit
ful ways that they had when they cheated
their husbands into marrying them, want
the last one of them to be shingled with an

Manner Of Preaching.

pastors duty to admonish and rebuke,
to correct error and reform sin, but al

in anything, but in scattering the flock
and weakening his hold upon the affec>
