Mason.

James Murray Mason, who died at
Alexandria tVirginia) on Saturday last
was probably best known to the younger
men of to-day for his having, with
Slidell, been seized on board the Trent
while they were on their way to Europe
as Confederate,agents. He was born in
Fairfax county, Virginia, in 1877; grad
uated at the University of Philadelphia.
studied law, and received license To-
practice in 1920. In 1923 he was elected
to the Virginia House of Delegates, and
was twice reelected. He was a presi-
dental elector in 1888, and was Rep
resentative in Congress for 1886 to 1889.
In 1917 he was elected a Senator in Con-
gress in the place of Senator PENNY
backer, and reelected in 1919, in which
position he continued until 1861, having
several sessions been chairman of The
Committee Of Foreign Relations. When
the war broke out, he went with the
South, resigning his seat in the Senate.
In October, 1851, he was sent to England
as an agent to theon Cfederate govern
ment. He reached Havana in safety.
but while on his way to England in the
British steamer Trent he was seized by
the United States war vessel San
JacintO, Captain Wilkes, and taken to
Fort Warren, where he was confined.
Lord PalmerstOn made vigorous pro-
test against this act as a violation of the
International law, and after some deIav
both Mason and SlideIl were delivered
up to the British Government and went
to England. The British Government
refused to recognize them in any official
character, and they went to Paris, where
they remained until the close Of the war
when Mr.. Mason returned to VIRGINIA
where he has since lived in retirement

State SoucrciqI,tg.

1t is a familiar rule of construction OF
the Constitution of the Union that the
sovereign powers vested in the State
governments by their respective cOnsti-
tutiOns remain unaltered and unimpair-
ed, except so far as they were granted
to the government of the United States.
That the intention of the trainers of the
Constitution in this respect might not
be misunderstood, this rule of interpre-
tation is expressly declared in the tenth
article of the amendments, namely
"The powers not delegated to the United
States are reserved to the State, respec-
lively, or to the people," The govern
ment of the United States, therefore,
can claim no powers which are not:
granted to it by the Constitution, and
the powers actually granted must be
such as are expressly gjve,,, or gircn 6y
nee GSsaTy implication. The General
Government and the States, although
both exist within the same territorial
limits, are separate and distinct sOv-
ereignties, acting separately and iride-
pendently of each other, within their
respective spheres. The former, in its
appropriate sphere, is supreme; but
the States, within the limits of their
powers not granted, or in the language
of the tenth amendment, reserved, !"
are as independent of the general gov
ernment as that government within its
sphere is independent of the States
From an Opinion Of the Supreme Court
of the United States, at the present ScS-
sion.

FASHION.

Summer cashmere is a novelty. 1t is
a soft, all wool, twilled fabric of light
quality, in broken plaids, checks, and
cross bars. The selvedges are finished
as fringe, to be used in trimming foun-
ces and the over garments. 1t is six
quarters wide, and S1,5O a yard, As
many object to these self-fringed goods
on account of their resemblance to the
shawl suits that are now somewhat
passed, the fringe can be dispensed
with. At any rate, we know Of no more
beautiful fabric than this, especially for
ladies' wrappers and for children's suits.
The bright blue and white plaids are
among the prettiest; and another sty-
lish combination is black and white
plaid with maroon bars between. Low
er-priced oashmeres, slightly mixed
with cotton, are 81 ,25a yard.
All wool serges, as fine and soft a. la
dies cloth and wool poplins, a full yard
wide, are shown in the buff and brown
shades, with a darker stripe and fringe
on one edge, for 81. 10 a yard. Mixed
with cotton, they are eighty cents
Very lustrOIs mOhairs in all the spring
shades, and the heavier Palermo pop
Inns with fine reps, are sixty-five cents
a yard.
Batiste robes are plain cambrics, self
cOlOred, with stripe for bordering near
the edges. They are thirty-fve cents a
yard, or about 81. 25 the dress pattern.
Linen lawns of palest unbleached buff
or light gray are sold for twenty-five
a yard. The furnishing houses sell
suits of these, ready made, with pOstil-
ion basque, the Worth overskirt, a lower
skirt, trimmed with four or five narrow
ruffies edged with guipure lace of the
same shade, for S23. These are stylish
and inexpensive suits, but the problem
to be solved is, how shall they be wash
ed? The buff linen lawns. invariably
have a pinkish hue after having been
wet, and gray lawn is apt to be streaked
and shaded.
The newest lace collar, called the Won
NIOltke, is pointed at the throat to be
worn very low, has square outer corn /
ers, and grows narrow toward the neck. /
1t resembles the shape of the Marie An
-Oinette collar.
A similar shaped colIarette which la
lies call regalia, is made of sheer white /
muslin in soft folds, edged with point

POLITICS.
Presidential.

The Democratic journals, especially
in the West, strongly condemn Senator
Summers recent declaration that he
should vote for the Ku-Klux bill, not
withstanding its Objectionable features.
No cry of centralism or Imperialism,
said Mr.. Sumner, "could deter him. He
was for the centralism of liberty and
the Imperialism of equal rights. Once
the nation served slavery in the interest
of State rights; nowit must serve liberty
even TO the denial of State rights.U
AS our contemporaries everywhere OBJ
serve, this involves a false and pernic-
ious doctrine. Liberty can only be
secured by law; and if we set aside the
Constitution in the name of liberty in
1871, we may overthrow it in order to
make a favOrite candidate President
by military power and sham election
in 1872.
This avOwal seems to have put an end
to all possibility of Mr.. Summers being
nominated as the Democratic candidate
for the Presidency. He is not the man
on whom all parties can unite in a new
era Of general good feeling.-Nep YORK

CLIPPINGS FOR THE CURIOUS
The BcH-Ringer of WuytsJurg.

The BcIL-RiRger Of WtrtgJurg.
The bell-ringer in the cathedral of
Wurtzburg has perished under very sin
guIar circumstances. The church pos
/ sesses a splendid clock, with ponderOus
and complicated works, while pendu-
lum of proportionate length vibrates to
and fro with dull and mOntOnOus
a" thud." Recently the clock needed
cleaning, and the ringer was deputed to
superintend the work, though he rueful-
Iy endeavOred to be excused from the
task. 1t seems that he never willingly
approached the belfry, for certain un-
pleasant associations. About twenty
years ago he killed his predecessor in
Office, accusing him of carrying on
criminal intrigue with his wife. When
brought to trial he escaped the gallOws
owing to deficiency of legal proof.
The patronage of one of the canOns
then procured him the appointment
vacant through the death of his victim.
Hence, it is said, arose his superstitiOns

which was supposed to be haunted by
the ghost of the murdered ringer. On
the morning when the clock was to be
cleaned it suddenly stopped, and the
bell-ringer was nowhere to be found. A
workman from the town was sent for,
and ascended the tower, when he was
Mortified to find the pendulum and lower
works dripping with blood. Upon
searching further, the body of the bell
ringer was found entangled in the works,
frightfully mangled and crushed. One
suppOsitiOL is, that he committed sui
eide by climbing up the pendulum and
then pitching himself into the middle
of the machinery of the clock.
But the wOnder-lOving gOssips of the
place, with a throughIy German propen-
sity for the horrible, declare that this
guilty man, upon reaching the gloomy
chamber wherein the works revolved,
was hOrrOr-stricken by the apparitiOn of
his professor sitting astride the great
balance-wheel of the clock, and had

Now, there is nothing for God to find
out about us. He knows all about you.
When he took you, he took you know
ing the uGtermOst. And you never will
disappOlnt him, by being worse than he
thought you would be. You never will
sin where he did not expect you to sin.
YOur,guilt never will be greater than he
made up his mind to bear with and
2, rdOn when he took you. He took you
as a mother takes her child. She
thanks God for it, though she knows it
will be vain and proud and selfish, and
that it will have all the evils of temper
that belongs to the race from which it
comes. 1t is hers, and in spite of its
faults she loves it with unspeakable
love. And God clasps every soul that
he once takes, and takes it for good or
bad. The wedding between the soul
and God is one that's knows no divorce,
either here or hereafter.-Henry Ward

Lore.

Who is he, in youth or in maturity,
or even in old age, who does not like
to hear of those sensibilities which
turn curled heads around atchurch, and
send wonderful eyebeams across assem-
blies from one to one, never missing in
the thickest crowd? The keen statist
EeckOns by tens and hundreds; the gen.
ial man is interested in every slipper
that comes into the assembly. The pas
sion, alike everywhere, creeps under
the SHOWS of Scandinavia, under the
fires of the equator, and swims in the
seas of Polynesia. Love is as puissant
q divinity in the Morse Edda as Cam
adeva in the red vault India, Eros in
the Greek, or Cupid in the Latin heav-
Ell. And what is especially true of love
is that it is a state of extreme impress
siOnability; the lover has more sense
and finer senses than others; his eye
and ear are telegraphs: he reads Omens
on the flower, the cloud and face, and
form and gesture, and reads them Alright.
In his surprise at the sudden and entire
understanding that is between him and
the loved person, it occurs to him that
they mightsomehOw meet independents
ly of time and place. How delicious
the beliefthat he could elude all guards,
precautions ceremonies, means and de-
lays, and hold instant and sempiternal
communication! In solitude, in banish-
ment, the hope returned, and the exper-
iment was eagerly tried. The supernal
powers seem to take his part. What
was on his lips to say is uttered by his
friend. When he went abroad, he met,
by wonderful casualties, the one per-
son he sought, If in his walk he
ohanced to look back, his friend was
walking behind him. And it has hap
pened that the artist has often drawn in
his pictures, the face of the future wife
he had not yet seen.-Emerson.

Ill,


Near the end of the seventeenth GEN.
tury, a Turkish grandee in Hungary
made a Christian noblemen his prison
en- and treated him with the utmost
barbarity. The slave-fOr such he was
was yOked with an OK and compelled
to drag the plOw. But the fortune of
war changing, the Turk fell into the
hands of the Hungarians, who said to
their enslaved fellow-cOuntryman,
Now take your revenge upon your en-
emy.' This was in accordance with the
customs of the age; and the Turk, sup
posing as a matter of course, that he
would be tortured to death, had already
swallowed poison, when a messenger
came from his Christian slave, telling
him to go in peace, for he had nothing
to fear. The MOslem was so impressed
with this heavenly spirit that he pro-
claimed with his dying breath: I will
not die MOslem, but die Christian;
for there is no religion, but that of
Christ, which teaches forgiveness of in
juries. '-ErchdRgG.

BERTnAM AND ELEzABETH.

At a grand cathedral overlooking the
Rhine there appeared a distinguished
organist. The great composer who had
played the organ so long had suddenly
died, and everybody, from the king to
the peasant, was wondering who could
be found to fill his place, when one
bright Sabbath morning, as the sexton
entered the church, he saw stranger
sitting at the crape-shrOuded organ. He
was tall, graceful man, with pale, but
strikingly handsome face, great, black,
melancholy eyes, and hair like the ra-
ven's wing for gloss and color, sweep
ing in dark waves over his shoulders.
He did not seem to notice the sexton,
but went on playing, and such music as
he drew from the Instrument, no words
of mine can describe. The astonished
listener declared that the organ seemed
TO have grown human-tlat it walled
aud sighed and clamored as ifa tortured
human heart were thrObbing through It's
pipes.
When the music at length ceased, the
sexton hastened to the stranger and ask
ed:
Pray, who are you, slrN
DO not ask my name he replied;
Il have heard that you were in want of
an organist, and have come here on
trial,
You'll be sure to get the place. ex-
claimed the sexton. why, you sur
pass him that's dead and gone
No, no, you overrate me- said the
stranger, with smile; then, as if disin-
CIined to conversation, ne turned from
old Hans, and began to play again, and
now the music changed from sorrow-
fuI strain TO grand old pecan, and the
mysterious organist:
Looking upward full of grace,
Plays still from H happy place
Gods glory smOte him in the face,
and his cOGntenance seemed not unlike
that of st, Michael, as portrayed by
Guido.
Lost in the melodies which sweIled
around him, he sat with his 'far-seeing'
eyes fixed OH the distant sky, a glimpse
Of which he caught through an open
window, when there was stir about
the church door, and a royal party came
sweeping in. Among them might be
seen a bright, young girl, with wealth
OF golden hair, eyes like the violet's
hue, and lips like wild cherries. This
was the princess Elizabeth, and all eyes
were turned towards her as she ses1
herself in the velvet-cushiOned pew ap,
propriated to the court. The mysteri
Gus organist fixed his eye upon hel
and went on playing. No sooner had
the music reached her ears than she
started rs if ghost had crossed heI
path. The blood faded from her Grim
son cheek, her lips quivered, and bel
whole frame grew tremulous. At las
her eyes met those of the orgauist in F.,
long, yearning look, and the melod,
lost its joyous notes, and once NOR
walled and sighed and clamored.

upon her knees and looking up through
her tears, exclaimed: 20, God, make

The death of Thalberg, the great pian-

land, January Z, 1912, and was the
natural son of Count Die trichstein.
Famous as a pianist at the early age of
fifteen, his earesr has been a long and
brilliant one. In 1851 he produced an
opera called F'LOriRde, which failed. In
lS45 he married adaughter Of Lablache.
Thalberg's tour in this country will long
