A CURIOUS CASE GROWING Our OF
THE FoURrEENrh -AlfESDNEEr.-The
question concerning the right of property
in hnmaH beings is exercising the minds
oseertain. lawyers aud ancient slave owns
ers in Maryland, all because of the sdop-
tioD Of the fourteenth amendment. The
case as presented to the United States
circuit court, Judge Bond presiding, in
BaltimOte, recelAly, is. in this shape II
Virginian has filed bin asking a decree
to set aside the deed otItF9st, exec6ted in
1855, for slaves valued at $4,000. on
which amount he was to pay six per cent.
annual Interest during the life Of the own
er, and, after her death, the principal in
three yearly instalments. The slaves
were taken to Mississippi, and by State
and United States law-became free in
1864. Now this Virginian comes into
court and pleads chat, the slaves having
been emancipated, and their value as pro-
perty destroyed under the fourteenth
amendment, the conditions of the deed Of
trust cannot be enforced, and be maintains
that the amendment has SO oudawed the
institution that contracts growing out Of it
cannot be enforced. The defendants
maintained that tie contract was legal
when made, and must therefore be en-
forced according to it's terms. Decision
has not yet been rendered. A short time
ago the Maryland court Of appeals decided
in a similar case that such contracts could
not be enforced.

What mean by education Is learning
the rules of the mighty game of all life. In
other words, ,,education is the instruction
Of the iAtellect in nthS.lawt of nature, under
which name l include not merely things
and their forces, but men and their ways;
and the fashioning Of the affections and of
the viii into an earnest and loving desire
to move in harmony with those laws. For
me, education means neither more nor less
than this. Anything which processes to
call itself education must be tried by this
standard, and if it tails to stand the test,
/ will not call It education, whatever may
be the force lpf anthoritysor Of numbers
upon the other side.-Hxrley.
