WASHINGTON, May 1.4Counsellor E

member in the military courts of the late
Southern Confederacy, is dead.

Justice Clifford read paper in the legal
tender cases of Knox against Lee and of
Parker against Davis, as follows:
In these two cases two questions were
heretofore directed to be argued, viz: First,
Is the act of Congress, known as the legal
tender act, constitutional as to contracts
rnadeH before it's passage - Second, is it
valid as applicable to transactions since its
passage? These questions have been con-
sidered by the court, and both have been
decided IN the affirnlative. The decree of
the Supreme J JUDICIAL Court of Massachu-
sets, in the case of Parker VS.. Davis, is
therefore affirmed, and the judgment of the
CircuityC CourtFof the limited States of the
Western District oflIexas is also affirmed
The Chief Justice with Associate JUS
tices Nelson, Clifford and Field, dissent
from the majority of the Court upon both
propositions, and the result is the holding
that.tlIe act of Congress, SO far as applica-
BILE to contracts made before Its passage
is repugnant to the Constitution and void,
and also that itisErepugnant5t the consti-
tuition and void SO far as applicable TO con-
tracts made since its passage.
The opinion of the Court and the reasons
for dissent will be read before the close of
the adjourned term.

Rough Joke on Mrs. Fairs Fourth Hus.
h....-.---.- hand. - -

A good joke has been told us on Mrs.
Fairs fourth husband, Snyder, which we
have not yet seen in print. Snyder is said
to be the handsomest man in the United
States, and was fornerly ya heavy coal deal
er in Philadelphia, but soon after coming
to this. coast a few years since, went
through on stocks or something OF that
sort. Mrs. Fair met him in an omnibus
and determined to marry him on account
of his beauty. She sought an introduction
and soon afterward they were married.
Snyder thought it was all right until the
second night, when the fair one made him
sit up or occupy the sofa all night. Snyder
bucked little next morning, when Mrs.
Fair repaired to a gun store and procured a
brace of pistols. Snyder began to smell a
mice, and went down to inquire among
'the boysp as to the character and dispo-
sition of his beautiful bride. They told
him, not only what has now been proven
in Court, thai her reputation for chastity
was bad. but that she was vixen, and
would shoot or stab a man. on the slightest
provocatfon. Snyder looked serious,
thought over for a moment the harsh
words he had said to her before she went
, for the pistols, then raising his eyes heav-
onward and clasping his hands together,
exclaimed i'm an earnest tone "pu bet a
t-h-o-u-s-a-n-d dollars l don't live an
hour !'-Cdrson (NeUadd) Register.

THE BARRIERS PoLE.-Hundredss

THE BARRIERS POLE.-Hundreds- OF
people there are who do not understand
why the barber uses the red-striped pole.
1t originated from the fact that, some
centuries ago, it was customary for bar
bers 70 bleed people, and the pole, with
alternate winding strips of white and red,
represented the bandage of the phleboto-
mized victim, In the course of time the
apothecary exeelled the barber as blood
letter; but the old sign of the craft was
retained by the latter after the function
which gave it Significance had ceased. 1t
may be added, parenthetically, that they
(the barbers) still do little blood-letting
