"Lawyers and school masters always diff

Here carnivorous specimen of the south
western lawyer, named Harris, suggested
that each present write a sentence, with
his name, upon slip Of paper, and have
the motto drawn by lottery, which sugges-
ton was acted upon.
In few minutes each one had sent
IS hat, which, being shaken, Major
Howard, a noted politician of Mississippi
at that time, was chosen to draw. The
first slip drawn was to be the motto. With
a handkerchief over his eyes, he put in his
hand, and feeling around for second or
two, drew out slip. The Senator read it:

Congress has no authority under said Con
stitutional Amendment to provide any
such legislation as is contained in the
fourth section of the act under which this
Indictment is framed, whereby offences
against the State laws are attempted to be
punished in the Federal Courts.
. Fourth-Beeause Congress has no power
to interfere with the domestic police and
regulations of State touching elections
where State has already made such pro.
visions as guarantee all the rights created
and intended to be secured by the Fiji
teenth Amendment, and that all the rights
contemplated by the Fifteenth Amendment
are guaranteed by the Constitution and
laws of Maryland.
Attorney General Syester argued the
demurrer of the defence.
The Court overruled the demurrer, Judge
Giles delivering the opinion. He said that
the validity of the fourth section of the
Enforcement act does not depend upon the
Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution,
but upon the Fourteenth. Although the
United States Circuit Courts might desire
to be relieved from the trial of causes I'M
der the Enforcement act, nevertheless it is
their duty to enforce the legislation of Con-
gress, unless they find a particular statue
or section of statue clearly unconstitu-
tional. The Fourteenth Amendment con-
fers upon Congress the power to enforce
the rights therein guaranteed by appro-
pirate legislation. Citizens of the United
States are declared to be citizens of the
State in which they reside. The fourth
section of the act of Congress, approved
May, 1870, is intended to enforce the very
L. IL -
State can be entitled-the right to exercise
the elective franchise. We think the act
clearly within the spirit of the Constitu-
ton. Demurrer overruled
After the demurrer was overrnled the
counsel for the accused entered the plea of
not guilty on his behalf.
Mr.. Stirling then asked postponement
on account of the absence of two of the Gov
ernment's witnesses, and at his request the
Court postponed further proceedings in
the case until Thursday next, and ordered
attachments to be issued for the missing
witnesses.

An Affecting Case.

A one-armed horseman, recently travel
ing thro' Missouri, stopped at a blacksmith's
shop to have his horse shod. The smith
noticed the empty sleeve, and asked him if
he lost his arm in the war. He replied, with
sigh, that he did, and even more, going
on to relate how he left home to enlist in
the Southern Army, and at the close of the
war, on going back, found that his wife,
who thought him dead, had moved away,
and he had since been unable to find any
trace of her. "What is your name? ask
ed the blacksmith. When the answer was
81. NJ. WALDRUP," he suddenly released
the hoof over which he had been bending,
and, without looking at the ex-soldier, said:
"Follow me into the house ''-and hurried
ly led the way. Result-the discovery of
Mrs. Waldrup with three new children by
her side. She supposed Waldrup dead, and
had accordingly been married to the black
smith. The two men wisely came to the
conclusion to let the lady choose between
them, and she elects in favor of Waldrup.
Then she says she cannot do without the
children, and the blacksmith says, after a
most painful pause, You shall take them,
my DEAR"
"When the steamboat St. Luke" says
the Cincinnati Enquirer, in a most touch
ing paragraph, "stopped at the landing
some hours later, Waldrup went on board
with his still weeping and thickly yelled
wife, and the blacksmith followed with the
children. The boats bell rang for the
starting. and the dread separation was at
hand. The crew, the passengers, the cap
tain-all who witnessed it-were affected
to tears by the touching scene. With great
drops rolling down his tawny cheeks, the
blacksmith kissed the children, one after
another, and, in a choking voice, babe
their mother an eternal goodbye. The two
men gazed wistfully at each others faces,
shock hands long and earnestly, and then
the blacksmith by strong effort Of iron
will, released the hand of Waldrup, and
walked quietly to the shore. He never
turned his face to the boat, which soon pass
ed out of sight around a merciful bend in
the river, but strobe ON, with his head bow
ed down, to the home whittier the voice of
his wife and children should welcome him
no more"

A SUNSET MEMORY.

Once, as fell the shades of evening,
At the close of the long day,
Sat we, in the lengthening shadows,
In the old time, far away
Sat we, till the stars came cleaning
Through the twilight soft and gray.
We have watched the golden sunset
Fading in the crimson west,
While upon the glowing hill-teps
Clouds of amber seemed to rest,
Till the twilight closed around them,
In her lazy mantle dressed.
Then I listened to the story
That his lips so fondly told;
Words of passionate devotion,
Words of love that ne'er grow cold;
Filling all my heart with lightness,
Threading all my life with gold.
Always, when the sunset glory
Trails above the western hills,
All the music of that story
Through my Utmost being thrills
Tunes my sad heart to rejoicing,
And with peace my spirit fills.
Since I first Loves nectar tasted
Years have swept to Times abyss
All Life's choicest hopes been wasted;
But my visions now of bliss
In that other Life are founded
On the one glad hour in this.
Years may roll and tempests gather,
Storms may cloud youths azure sky,
Brightest locks may blanch to silver,
Frosts of Time may dim the eye,
But pure hearts first devotion
Always lives-it can not die.

$500 oranges had been picked, and it still
contained few: the other, three years

$500 oranges had been picked, and it still
contained few; the other, three years
younger, had yielded 1000 oranges. At
from ten to twelve years from the seed the
tree usually bears 1000 oranges, and they
are selling now in San Francisco for from
$15 to 1856 per 1000. I have satisfied my
self, by examination of nearly all the bear
ing orchards in the southern counties, and
by comparing the evidence of their owners,
that at Is years from the seed, or 10 years
from the planting of three-year old trees,
an orange orchard which has been faith
fully cared for, and is favorably situated,
will bear an average of 1000 oranges to the
tree. This would give, at $50 per 1000
low average-a product of $1,000 per acre.
One man can care for 20 acres of such an
orchard, and every other expense, includ-
ing picking, boxes, shipping, and commits
sions in San Francisco is covered by So per
1000.
The net profit per acre would, therefore,
be trifle less than 5000. To show you
that this is not an over-statement, will
tell you that I have been in an orchard of
less than nine acres which has produced its
owner for several years in succession clear
profit of over $S000 An orchard OF forty
acres in Los Angeles is reported to me to
bring clear rent of $4,000 per annum;
and the lessee is believed to have made
fortune for himself. You will probably
believe, after all, that have exaggerated
the profits of this business, but the orange
growers of Los Angeles, will smile at the
extreme moderation of my statement.
"People telllarge stories about oranges"
said one such man to me; "but the truth
is big enough-at ten or twelve years trees
may be safely counted on to average $40
each clear profit, with sixty trees to an
acre, and that is big enough for anybody"
And, thereupon, this orange-grower pro-
ceeded to show me the accounts of one lit
tie orchard of his own, which so greatly
exceeded his moderate statement, that I
shall not give you the figures. After ten
years the tree rapidly and steadily increas-
es in fruitfulness; the older trees in the
orchards are now bearing, SO every owner
assured me, very little less than 1000
oranges to the tree. The best cultivators
do not prune the tree at all; but in all the
orchards willow poles are used to prop up
the overladen branches.

MAKE HOME PLEASANT.

"Oy We fathers and mothers who have sons
and daughters growing up around you, do
We ever think of your responsibility in this
regard-your responsibility for keeping
alive the home sentiment in the hearts of
your children? Within the limit of your
means, remember that the obligations rests
upon you to make their home the pleasant
est place upon this rolling earth, to make
the word "home" to them the synonym
for "happiness." I would not have you
import the vices Of the outside world into
your homes for any purpose; but l would
have You go to the utmost verge of what is
moral to provide at home those things
which entice young and growing persons
away from home. And let me assure you
that you had better spend your money in
doing this than in ostentation or luxury,
and far, far better to spend it thus than to
amass fortune for your children to squan-
der in the future. And not only as regards
amusements, but also comfort and refine
mentor children have keen appreciation
of these things-thisis much the best policy.
Don't send your boy to school in ill-fitting
arments-collar all awry and chatting his
neck, button missing, and shoes down at
the heel. Don't make a warehouse or
clothes press of his bedroom. Don't feed
him on sour bread and tough meat and
burnt coffee. Don't let noise and dissen-
sion and misrule spoil the hours he spends
at home. Don't do any of these things if
you can possibly avoid it; especially don't
do them for the purpose of laying up mon
ey for his future use. The richest legacy
you can leave him is a lifelong, inextin-
Unstable and fragrant recollection of his
home, when time and death have forever
dissolved the enhantment.
