congressional Power Over Railroads,

A'reoent decision of tho Un;ted
otates Supreme Court has been repre-
septed as indorsing all the theories Of
tho centralists concerning tho unlim.
,!ea power of Congress over inter.
otate commerce. ~ ,Lator information
tends to show that the court confined
Itself to asserting the right of Con.
grcss to abolish any obstruction to
such CONNER &C that Nigh. DO set up
IN any one or other State. 1t is
probable that the mistake arose from
the hasty reading Of nom >legal news.l
paper correspondents. The Baltimo ore
sun publishes the decision in full and
remarks
"Upon data furnished by les, com.
pete reports of the decision, it has
oeen assumed that the opinion lays
down tho full authority of tho Gov
ornment over railroads for all pur.
p.oses.conneoted with the question of
cheap transportation. Tue fact il,
the opiuion does nothing of the kind.
iho court says that ia cases of OBJ.
struotion of comme, &C! by the States,
Congress should intcrposo to the full
est extcxt Of it's constitutional power ::
bnt 1t does not undertake to Say, What
would be ali obstruction, or what are
the constitutional powers of Congress,
although, it does express the most
earnest hope that no occasion will
ever arise for Congross to exercise its
Powors, whatever they may be.
Equally erroneous is the st atement
that this opinion settles the principles
involved i'll what are called the
l"Grangcr Gases" from Wisconsin,
now on appeal to the Supreme Court.
These cases rest Oh the validity of d
law Of the Wisconsin Legislature as.
sumirg to regulate rates Of transpor
tation on existing railroads. The
court, in the Baltimore and Ohio case,
laid down the law that u State had d
right to exact any condition preoe.
dent to granting the charter but it
did not say one word which can be
construed to give the power to a
State to regulate IA railroad already
III operation.

The Mysteries OF the Female Toilette.


The Pail Mall Gazette says "The
la est novelty in woman's attire does
not sound comfortable. She has, it.
seems, adopted garment ia which it
is almost impossible walk or to sit
down, or to enter carriage, and
which can only be worn by throwing
the body into the most painful oon-
tortions according to instructions
specially given by the dressm akers
who manufactured it. Tho Paris
correspondent of tho Queen gives the
following account Of this new article
of dress ,Domitrains,' says the
correspondent, 'ure inoonvenient for
tho street and even for getting into
carriage, and they arc so tied back
and banded with elastic that walking
and, above all, sitting down are not
the ea y, careless m ,vements Of yore.
Some dIesSmsk.is give instructions
as to tho management of these demi.
trains. The best manner of gat' er-
ing up tho trail is to txrn to the right
bonding slightly backwards, and to
take hold of tho dress as low down as
possible with the right hand. When
you straightcn and stand upright
again the skirt will bo slightly lifted,
and thus become no longer than a
short costume. When you wish to
let the skirt trail again, you must
throw it back with sweep of the
right hand. This will bo found a
much more graceful way of preserv-
ing the train from eontact with the
streets than by lifting in on each side
with both hands. Man dressed in a
coat or pair Of trousers involving so
much trouble and agony would hardly
feel up to performing those duties
which woman kindly proposes to take
on her own hands she is, however,
very strong minded, and delights in a
lilo OF active oocupation."
