subject (; is intended solely to prevent
the arbitrary transfer of property from
citizen to citizen without legal adiudica-
ton or process, and prevent the estab-
hshment of tribunals for one class of
persons varying from those which de-
termine the rights of all. "These in
hibitions," he says, "beyond all contro-
"versy, are aimed at the action of the
{" State only, and have no reference to
" individuals" According to Emmons'
theory, the State government under
which these denials of personal rights
occur should be made the defendant in
all prosecutions for the enforcement of
civil rights. The idea is preposterous,
and entirely foreign to the plain intent
of the amendment Chicago Journal.

CONFLICT WITH Il PANTHER.

Last Friday night Mr.. John K Markell,
of Norfolk, st. Lawrence county, in this
State, returned home late, having been
detained by storm, and, going out some
time after to care for his team, was just
in the act of opening his stable door when
he was seized from behind by panther,
which attempted to grapple his throat,
and he was carried to the ground, falling
on his back. SO sudden was the attack
that for moment Mr.. Markill was part
ly stunned, but quickly realizing his
danger he attempted to draw his jacknife,
at the same time calling loudly for help.
In the meantime the animal had
fastened his jaws ON the side of his
victims neck but, owing to the heavy
collar of Mr.. Markill's coat, which was
fortunately turned up, and fur collar
around his neck, the animals teeth did
not penetrate the flesh, although the
pressure, as described by Mr.. MARKELL,
was such as to almost entirely prevent
his breathing. His alarm brought to
his assistance, very soon, a large and
ferocious dog, which at once fastened on
the throat of the formidable foe. The
animal then turned on his new antag-
onist, and for moment a terrific battle
ensued. After prolonged struggle,
Mr.. MARKELL succeeded in conquering the
animal with pitchfork and the dogs
help. The panther measured from tip
to tip seven feet five and half inches,
was of brownish color, with legs rather
short, but thick and muscular.

THE MAILS md THE EMPRESS
CAup1NTES

COMPANIES.
The amendment to the Sundry Civil
Appropriation bill, repeating Section s
of the act of June, 1874, which relates to
mail matter of the third class, was offered
in the Senate by Mr.. Ramsey, of Mime
sofa, late Chairman of the Committee on
Postoffi@s and Post Roads. An attempt
to have this repealed was made in the
House earlier in the session, but it failed.
1t was urged almost entirely by the
Adams Express Company, whose man.
ayers were here for several weeks, work
ing for its success. They claimed that
the law of June, 1874, which allowed
packages of four pounds to be carried as
miscellaneous matter in the mails dis
eliminated against the business of the
express companies, and it was stated that
the companies had experienced falling
off of several hundred thousand dollars
during the year, all of which they at
tributed to the operation of this law.
The amendment was struggled In during
the last hours of the session, without at
tracing much attention. = Washington

JUDGE EMMoSy DECISION.

Judge Emmons, of the United States
Circuit Court, has made haste to pro-
nounce the Civil Rights law unconsti-
tutional. He took occasion to discuss
the subject at great length in charge
to the grand jury at Memphis. He
argued that the Fourteenth Amend
ment, in forbidding States to deprive
any person of life, liberty or prop
erty, without due process of law, or
deny to any person equal protection
of the laws, has no application to this

SAILING vessels having been decreas-
ing In number for the last four years. In
1870 the total number of registered sail
ing vessels in the world was &c, 518. In
1874 the number had decreased to S.
2S9. At the same time the average size
OF the ships had decreased from 270 tons
to 258 tons. The decrease in both cases
has taken place principally in the fleets
of America, England, France, and Ger
many, where steamers are rapidly sup
planting sailing ships, and this decrease
has been sufficient to more than counter
balance the increase of the number of
sailing ships belonging to Greece, Portu-
gal, and Norway.

the train of people, and all the rows OF
angels with their beaming eyes all turned
upon those peoples faces.
Said his sisters angel to the leader
60 Is my brother come :"
( And he said, "Not that one, but an
other"
AS the child beheld his brothers angel
In her arms, he cried, "Oh, sister, 1 am
mere. Take me - And she turned and
smiled upon him, and the star was shin
ing.
He grew to be young man, and was
busy at his book, when an old servant
came to him and said:
Thy mother is no more. bring her
blessing ON her darling son."
Again at night he saw the star, and all
that former company. Said his sisters
angel to the leader:
Is my brother Gomez"
And he said, ''Thy mother"
A mighty cry of Joy went through all
the star, because the mother was re-
united to her two children. And he
stretched out his arms and cried, 90 Oh !
mother, sister and brother, | am here !
take me-" And they answered, "Not
yet, and the star was shining.
He grew to be man whose hair was
turning gray, and he was sitting in his
chair by the fireside, heavy with grief
and with his face believed with tears,
when the star opened once again.
Said his sisters angel to the leader,
Is my brother come ?''
And he said, "Nay, but his maiden
daughter"
And the man who had been the child
saw his daughter, newly lost to him,
celestial creature among those three, and
he said, "My daughters head is on my
mothers bosom, and her arm is around
my sisters neck, and at her feet there is
the baby of old time, and can bear the
parting from her, God be praised !"
And the star was shining.
Thus the child came to be an old man,
and his once smooth face was wrinkled,
and his steps were slow and feeble, and
his back was bent. And one night as he
lay upon his bed, his children standing
around him, he cried as he had cried so
long ago:
"I see the star 20
They whispered to one another, "He
is dying"
And he said, 81 am. My age is fall
ing from me like garment, and l move
toward the star as child. And, o, my
father, now / thank thee that it has so
often opened to receive these dear ones
who await me I"
And the star was shining and it shines
upon his grave.-Chartes Dickens.
