F1inging Shadows.

We have no more right to fling an un-
necessary shadow over the spirit OF
those with whom we have to do, than
we have to fling a stone and injure

very common sin, and one to which wo-
men are particularly addicted. Oh,
what a blessing is merry, cheerful
woman in household! One whose
spirits are not affected by wet days, or
little disappointments, or whose milk of
human kindness does not sour in the
sunshine of prosperity. Such woman

APrima Donna,s Affair.

The London Daily News says: Aro-
nance in real life came before the Court
Queens Bench recently. About four
teen years ago, young lady, who has
since attained fame at both sides of the
Atlantic on the operate boards, made
the acquaintance in Italy of gentle
man who was then, as he is now, a pro-
fessional Of some celebrity. She was
not aware that he was a married man,
and the result of their acquaintance
was that they lived together until
within the past few months, when she
quilted his house and became the
wife of gentleman of consider
able means, who is not very long
out Of his teens. In quitting the house
of her former fame she left behind her
daughter Il years of age, whom she
now invoked the aid of the law to re-
store to her. The parties whose names
did not publicly transpire, were each
represented by counsel and did not
themselves appear at Westminster. Be-
fore deciding whether a h0be0s corpus
should be granted Lord Chief Justice
Cockburn suggested that the child
should be sent for, adding. however,
that the officer of the court should
fetch her, and that she should not be
informed for what purpose her presence
was required. After an interval of an
hour the young lady was brought into
court. She was dressed with studied
simplicity, and appeared not a little
surprised at finding herself among a
number of gentlemen in the wigs and
gowns which barristers may not
escape from even in tho dog
days. The child, who
was accompanied by lady said to be
her aunt. was conducted to the Judge S
room, and an interview took place be.
tween herself and the Lord Chief Jus.
tice. When his Lordship again took
his seat on the bench he observed that
the young lady desired to reside with
her father, but to be allowed to see her
mother frequently; but that her affec.
ton for either parent did not appear to
be very profound. The case involves
quite puzzle of nationality. The
mother swore that she was an Italian
that the father vas an Austrian. and
that their daughter was Spaniard,
having been born in St. Sebastian.
This, however. was denied by the father
who swore in his affidavit that he was
an Italian, and that he had taken all
the necessary steps to make his daugh.
ter, to whom he said he was fondly at
] tached, an Italian also.''

Mitchell goes into thorough discussion
as to the power of Congress under that
clause in the Constitution which declares
that Congress shall have the power to es-

holds that Congress. under this delega-
ton of power, may provide for the trans

AN EVENLNG WITH PROFESSOR
SWIFT

Two representatives of the Express, ac-
companied by a gentleman of scientific tastes,
on the invitation of Professor Swift, called
upon the astronomer last evening and enjoyed
rare facilities for inspecting the comet and
other heavenly bodies that CHANGED to be above
the horizon. We found the Professor such
as he had been Observation-Disclosures, unostenta,
tious, keenly practical, yet earnestly cnthusi-
astic in his devotion to the science which for
him is the brightest and noblest occupation of
his life After a short conversation in his
house he thought it was time to get out under
the stars, and shouldering his telescope. the
famous instrument which first revealed the
comet of 1874 to American eyes, he led the
way TO favorable point outside, away from
the trees and street-lamps. He desires and
purposes to procure more favorable location
for his work. This is more arduous than
many imagine. A friend tells us that often
in midwinter, when the nights are favorable,
the Professor spends long hours in the cold
searching for comets or other celestial phe-
nomens. When the best location for obser-
yation had been selected last evening the par
ty had chance to consider the glory of the

accountable for taking the lite of another
and in such case his policy may be recovered
upon, but in no other.
