"What superb corni and those

Mrs. Mason smiled, well pleased

from a cousin in Indiana, and how
she had planted It in her own fiow-

The u. 5. Supreme Court has
affirmed the decision of the Su-
preIne Court of Missouri in favor
Of the defendant in the case of
Virginia l.. Minor and Francis
Minor, her husband, vs.. Reese
Happersett. The question presen-
ted was whether, since the adop-
ton of the fourteenth amendment,
n woman who is a citizen of the
United States and of the State OF
Missouri, is a voter notwithstan-
ding the provisions of the con-
stitution and laws of the State
which conflne the right os suffrage
TO men alone. In delivering the
decision OF the u. S. Supreme
Court Chief Justice Waite read
an elaborate opinion, showing
that the old settled principle that
the right of suffrage is not nee
essary privilege of citizenship,
remains unchanged by the four
teenth amendment. That amend
ment, the court holds, did not
add to the privileges and immuni
ties of citizen. II simply fur
nished an additional guarantee
for the protection of such as he
already had. Ever since the for.
nation of the Union, citizens OF
the State and of the United States
have been deprived of the right of
suffrage by State laws, and in
eight or nine States the right of
suffrage has been conferred upon
persons of foreign birth who have
merely declared their intention
I" become citizens of the United
States. The court therefore
unanimously ailirms that the con-
stitution of the United States
does not confer the right of
suffrage upon any one, and that
the constitution and laws of the
several States which commi5 that
important trust To men alone are
not necessarily void. The rea-
soning of the court is cogent and
interesting, although it deals
chiefly with well settled principles
and reaches conclusions that were
obvious from the very inception
OF the case.

A question in ferriery has been
raised by the late misfortune of Mr..
John BAhan, of Centre Bennington,
whose horses hoof cords were cut
of by the cutter-bar of q moving
machine. 1t is generally understood
that . horse cannot be saved under
such circumstances, and we believe
the books on farriery SO hold. It
seems, however, that competent
judges are of 9 different opinion.
Mr.. Ryder had had a similar case in
which be had saved q horse owned
by Hon. III. G. Root, tha' cut Off the
cords of one foot by kicking against
. wagon spring. The horse COM
pleteIy recovered IN 6 few months,
and was not 4he least lame. Mr..
Phillip HubbelI, of Centre Benning-
ton, had an Ok injured in the same
way by an ak falling from q load Of
wood drawn by 3 yoke of oxen. In
Eve months the cord had two.thirds
grown together, but the OK had be-
come so poor that il was finally de-
cided best to kill him. II IL thought
that Bahan might have saVed his
horse, but the flies caused him 80
much trouble in addition to the
pain Of the wound that he reluctant
" decided 70 kill him, ae he was
faVoFite. From which fact il seems
settled that In such cases . horse can
be saved with great care, but that it
would probably cost IS much as the
horse 10 worth to do IL
