nv important decision on a point that will pos
sess.a great deal of interest for foreign born
citizens. A Prussan subject named SteiEAan-
Ter, who emigrated to this country in lS4S, be-
came naturalized in 1854, and had son born
to him the following year. Four years subse-
quent to the birth Of his son he returned to
Germany and has since continued. to reside
there. His son, .who.is now twenty years OF
age, has beeii notified to report for. military
duty in Germany and it is upon the question
whether such service can be required of him,
he being citizene the United States, that
the Attorney General has been called to decide,
the father ON his behalf, having declined to
give ali assurance to Mr.. Davis, the American
Minister. that the son would return to claim
his majority. By the treaty of 1868, between
Germany and the United States, it was agreed
that if Il German, naturalizcd in America re-
news his residence i'll North Germany without
the intent to return to America, he shall be
held to have renowned his naturalization in
may be held to exist when the person naturali-
zed in the one country resides more than two
years in the other country, but Judge Pierre
pont holds that young Steinkanler is a citizen
of the United States, and can return to this
country when he reaches twenty-one. Though
the father, by his own act, has resigned his
citizenship, there is no law under which he or
any other person can deprive his son Of his
birthrigllt, but as the case now stands, he be-
ing minor by the laws Of both Germany and
the United States. it is not such a one as calls
for interference on the part of this Govern
ment.

The Tyranny Of Mothers.

! Perhaps the greatest trial toyoung creatures
| full of life and energy is the tyranny Of the
tittiid mother. She will not allow her girls to
skate because Sir John Franklin was lost
among the icebefgs; nor to- ride, BECAUSE fox
! Hunters sometimes get their necks broken, nor
| to row, because yo1tng men lnJure themselves
| in these dreadful boat-races. They may not
! have pet dog=-suppose it should go mad; nor
any aconitc or monksllood in their gardens fer
fear they should poison themselves. The tim
id nlot.ser forbids her daughters to visit among
the poor, as they might take smallpox anc
will not allow one of them to 60 alone Outside
the avenle-gate from her dread or the garro-
tiers. The description which she gives OF the
neighboring fields is appalling. She represEnts
them to be the lairs of mad bulls, savage
tramps, venomous snakes and wild horses Her
girls cannot propose to work OF play which she
does not prove to be eiicompassed with dam
gers horrible and hitherto unthought Of In
their childish days they were not allowed a
rocking horse for fear it should overbalance,
nor a swing in case the rope might brake, nor
pocket-knife lest they should cut their flu
gers. '7'
The coddling mother is very nearly allied to
the timid one. She is always tying comforters
round her children's threats, and applying
flannel to mysterious places where it will not
stay. She revcls in chest-protectors and respi-
ators, and her room is adorned with sticking plas
ter and gallipots She is always intent on
proving that every one either has a cold or is
taking one; and she may be seen at night in
flannel dressing gown going from room to
room with cruel, pills. mustard leaves and in
dia Rubber hot bottle. She is constantly dis
covering obscure signs of some deadly dis
ease in her children. She takes for granted
that all her daughters have weak splnes, So
their beds are destitute of pillows and there is
a reclining board in every room. When the
coddling mother takes her girls to picnic she
will not allow them sit on the grass, nor in the
sun, nor under a tree, nor near rock. They
must return with erbefore the dews begin to
rise, and are never allowed to look at the moon
except through window. They are taught
to be always Analysing their sensations, and
lose half the pleasures of everyday life. They
may not exult in a brave Southwestern, get wet
in Summer shower, or walk ankle deep in the
gittering snow wreaths.' Human ''nattre

nothing to the tortllres she will inflict as she
sits down with Laurie's Domestic Medicine
in her hand, to ask questions in order to dag

though every organ in her body was such
mass Of disease that every bryonia and aconite,
time about every five minutes, will fail to cure
it.-Scturday Review.

Her Letter.
BY BRET HARTE.

I'm citing alone by the fire,
Dressed just as I came from the dance,
In robe even you would ADMIRE
It cost a cool thousand in France;
I'm be-diamoned out OF all reason,
My hair is done up in cue:
In short, sir, 1.-The belle of the season"
Is wasting an hour on you.
dozen engagements I've broken;
left in the midst OF set;
Likewise proposal. half spoken.
That Watson the stairs-for me yet,
They say he'll be rich when he grows up
And then he adores me indeed,
And, you, sir, are turning your nose up.
Three thousand miles off as you read
sand how do you like my position?"
And what do you think OF New York ?"
''And now in my higher ambition,
With whom do waltz. flirt or talk q
"And isn't it nice to have riches,
And diamonds and silks. and all that
"And arnt it change to the bitches
And tunnels OF Poverty Flap
Well yes-if you saw us out driving
Each day in the park four-in-hand-
II you saw poor dear mamma contriving
To look systematically grand
If you saw papa's picture as taken
By Brady, and tinted at that
You'd never suspect he sold bacon
And flour at Poverty Flat p
And yet, just this moment, when sitting
In the glare of the grand chandelier
In the hustle and glitter BETTING
The finest soiree of the year."
In the midst of gaze de Cham6ery,
And the hum of the smallest of talk
Somehow, Joe, thought of the "Ferry'
And the dance we had on 1.-THE Fork -
OF Harrisons barn, with its muster
OF flags festooned over the wall;
OF the candles that shed their soft lustre
And tallow on head-dress and shawl;
OF the steps that we took to one fiddle;
OF the dress of my queer vis-a-uis;
And how once went down the middle
With the man that shot Sandy McGee:
OF the moon that was quietly sleeping
On the hill, when the time came to go;
OF the few baby peaks that were peeping
From under the bed-clothes Of snow;
OF that ride,-that to me was the rarest;
Of-the something you said at the gate;
All, Joe, then wasn't an heiress
To 1.-THE best paying lead in the State"
Well, well, it's all past yet its funny
To think as stood in the glare
OF fashion and beauty and money,
That should be thinking right there,
OF some one who breasted high water,
And swan the North Fork, and all that,
Just to dance with old Folinsbee's daughter,
The Lilly Of Poverty Flat.
But goodness! what nonsense I'm writing!
mamma says my taste is still low,)
Instead of my triumphs reciting,
I'm spooning on yoseph,-heigh-ho!
And I'm to be diminished" by travel
Whatever's the meaning OF that
O, why did papa strike pay gravel
In drifting on Poverty Fat
Good night.-here's an end Of my paper;
Good night,-if the longitude please
For maybe, while wasting my taper.
Your suns climbing over the trees.
But knew, if you havn't got riches
And are poor, dearest Joe, and all that,
My hearts somewhere there in the bitches,
And you've struck it,-on Poverty Flat.
