Tug MUCH rnooted question as to
whether State has the right to tax the
property of q railroad has been disposed
of as Indicted below by tie Supreme
Court. The following dispatch explains
matters:
Washington, December 1.-THE Sd
prene Court to-day decided the ease of
the Union Pacific Railroad against Pen
niston. Treasurer of Lincoln county
Nabraska, on appeal from the Circuit
Court of that State. Judge Strong de-
livered the opinion, the Court holding
that the taxing power of State IS an
attribute of sovereignty that exists in
dependently of the Constitution OF the
United States and not derived from that
instrument and that it may be exercised
to an unlimited extent on all property,
trades, business and voCations existing
or carried on within the boundaries OF
the State, except so far as il has been
surrendered to the Federal Government
either expressly or by necessary implica-
ton. The Cour: therefore sIstains the
right of the State of Nebraska to tax the
property of the Union Pacific Railroad
EiiElu W botdtc
Judge Bradley read dissenting opihisn,
holding that the tax was an unlawful in
reference with the Instruments lities
created by the National Government in
carrying out the objects and powers con-
ferrel on it by the Constitution. If a
roadway can be taxed, it may be sold
for nor-payment Of taxes in parts and
parcels, and thus the whole purpose of
Congress, in creating corporation and
line. may be snbverted
and destroyed. Field concurred i'll the
opinion with Bradley. Hunt dissented
from the opinion of the Court. Swayne
gave his opinion his own way. but con-
Cured in the conclusion reached by the
majority of the Court.

Chicago. Dec. IA dispatch from
Washington says it is generally apparent
that the salary bill, as reported to the
House. yesterday, will pass. The
amount of salary will probably be fixed
at $4,000 by the Senate.
The defeat of the bill to repeal the
bankrupt law is attributed to the fact
that TIemaihe, instead OF reporting the
bill agreed upon by the Judiciary Com
mittee, had presented one prepared by
IN attorney of Jay Cooke l. Co., and
containing provision for the settlement

majority OF creditors, instead Of allowing
them to be settled under the law, as the
had agreed upon.

A Rival to Yosemite.

Recent explorations Of tho grcal
Tuolumne river canon, about eighteen
miles north Of Yosemite Valley, have,
il is claimed, added new wonder to
those already offered by that famoua
region. Its discoveries, MCssrs. John
Muir and Galen Clarke, report that
while the valley is narrower than that
Of the Yosemite, the river flowing
through IL is much larger. The falls
OF the Yosemite surpass those of tho
Tuolumne canon in unbroken volumes
Of descending water, but in variety Of
cascades and water-shoots the Tug
iumne canon is said to be far superi.
or, its great walls being scanned by
wator.worn fssures, down which riv-
ers leap, churn, thunder, brawl and
sing with oil possible varieties and ex-
pressions Of sound. There Is one va,
ter-leap Of 1900 foot in tho TuoIumne
canon, but IL 10 not unbrokcn, like tho
Upper Yosemite, and is In that re-
speet inferior TO tho latter well-known
cataract. There are many falls, like
the famous Bridal Veil Of the Yosem,
ito, which the wind shapes in falling
folds and silver threads, giving them
the appearance Of gauzy fabric
Tho marks Of glacial action are much
fresher on the walls OF Tuolumne
than in Yosemite, where rain, snow,
wind, sand and earthquake have all
combined to blur the indications which
are Of the greatest interest to the ge,
ologist. From the difficulty expert
enced by the explorers of Tuolumne
in gaining access to its wonders, il ID
to be feared that its attractions must
remain unseen by tho vast majority
of travellers.

A Protest Against Patching.

Gail Hamilton writes that somo pee.
tilent fellows lately prostituted our
agricultural fairs to the promotion Of
patches by promising premiums TO the
best mender. And there were not
wanting foolish virgins to como for
ward and compete for the prize. Now
! do not mean to say that patch may
not sometimes be requisite and neces.
sary, IS well for the body as for the
soul; but there is o great deal OF
darning and patching and mending
beyond what is wholesome. l have
seen women darn stockings, which, as
stockings, had no right to further
existence. True economy would
have put the feet into the rag-bag
and sewed up the legs into dish
cloths; and to see q human being,
capable Of love and hope, and memo
ry and judgment, turn away from this
great, beautiful world, and all the stir
and thrill Of multiform life, and give
itself to driving stupid little steel
crowbar back and forth through .
yawning heel and dilapidatcd toe
when whole stockings can DO bought
at forty cents a pair, is melancholy,
not to say cxaspcrating.
"A little darnins now and tben
10 relished BY tho best Of msn,'
and there is nervous irritation which
is really allayed by short and solita-
ry turn Of tho noodle, and there are
accidents and incidents which demand
n stitch, and which no right.minded
woman will refuse; but q nrotracted
and repeated darning on principle and
from choice, a premeditated and vain
glorious prostration before tho shrine
Of this little one-cyed dcspot, is a
sight for men and gods TO weep over,

If woman must, she must, and that

she must when she must not. She
often darns and mends and makes
over what it would be cheaper TO

regards time and patience and happi-
ness, which sre real valusa-and not

represents value. Patient Griseldn,
