came from the head of Swabian
peasant girl, who had two suitors for
her hand, one "a poor farm hand who
earned six kreutzers day, the other
rich miller who owned the cottage

wealthy, threatened To drive his ten
ants out Of their home unless his suit
was successful, although they had al

JOE. MILLS TN THE SUPREMECoURT
A little episode occurred in the
Supreme Court on Wedn esday after
noon which is worthy of recording.
Everybody knows, either personally
or by reputation, Judge Mills of the
Fifth Circuit. He is a jolly, humorous,
wholesouled, but withal eccentric
man. His friends for short call bin
"Joe NILS" a sobriquet of which
Joe" seems TO be really proud. 1t
is we'll known that 'Joc" has for
some time (to use the common figure
of speech had his eye on the supreme
bench OF this state, Though literally
he has neither had his eye nor any
other part Of him on said bench. ~
When the court assembled at half
past , O'Clock on Wednesday Joe
was in the court room, looking as
serious and calm as a May morning.
but with twinkiing in his eye, which
Indicated that a happy train of
thought was at the time passing
through his brain. Joe sat at the bar
and as the judges were about taking
their seats on the bench, the Chief
Justice caught sight ofJoe and said /:
Judge Mills, won't you come up aud
take a chair By the side of the court ?"
This was a poser to Joe, but with
characteristic suavity Of manner and
blandncss of tone he replied mo !
thank you, your honor, but l will
sit mp ;here some day There was
something in the looks, manner and
tone OF Joe SO iuexpressibly droll and
yet dproPos under the circumstances
that the court and bar burst into
such merry, hearty laugh that their
sides fairly acbcd before they were
sufficiently composed to go on with
business Ni{Cdukee NerS.

A KISS AT TIE DOOR.

We were standing in the doorway
My little wife and +
The golden sun upon her hair
Fell down so silently,
A sm I'll white hand upon my arm,
What could ask for more
Than the kindly glance Of loving eyes
As she kissed me at the door?
/ know she loves with al her heart
The one who stands beside!
And the years have been So joyous
Since first I called her bride
We've had 50 much Of happiness
Since we met in years before,
But the happiest time Of al! was
When she kissed me at the door.
OF fame, or nEatchleSs power?
1t does not give the happiness
Of just one little hour
With one who luyes me as her life
She says she loves me more
And thought She did tais morning,
When she kissed me ut the door.
AT times it seems that all the world,
With all lis we 9TH OF gold.
Is very small ard poor indeed
Calngared with what I hold -
And whenth clULds hang grim and dark
| only think the more
Of lone" who waits my coming step
To kiss me at the door.
IF she lives till ages shall scatter
The frost upon her head,
] know she'll love me just the same
As the morning We were wed;
But # the Ange! call her
And she goes to Heaven before,
] shall know her when | meet her,
For she'll kiss me at the door.

possibilities of the summer. Russia
is again regarded as an aggressor by

that Prussia this time will join France

that the Egyptian Viceroy's prepara-
