A new feature in the April st. Nicholas is
an article by Joel Stacy entitled John Spoon.
er's Great Human Menagerie,' The man
ager af this wonderful show-with a gene.
rosity unusual among men of his profession
lets us at once into the secrets of the eXhi.
bitlon, and describes each animal so minute.
ly that any halfdozen boys with enough in
gennity and pasteboard can easily fern a
similar collection for themselves. No detail
of construction is omitted, and pictures of all
the marvels, with explanatory diagrams, are
set before us.
The two serials, The Young Surveyor and
Eight Cousins give an agreeable April va
riety In the former, the heroine is now
enjoying life amazingly, while in the latter,
the hero is in apeck of troubles and the way
out of them seems involved IN endless difn-
Guilty. That Bunker Hill Powder is thrill
ling story of an encounter with a grizzly;
The Pilot is full of dangerous incidents
and The Great Freshct' is 80 fresh and vivid
as to read like thrilling telegram of the
day.
There are other shorter stories, some very
nice pieces of poetry, besides numerous fine
pictures, puzzles, &c, &c.

The L. S. Supreme Court has rem
dered decision overthrowing the
usury laws ofthe States. Under the
National Banking act those Banks
are authorized to charge only the.
rate of determined by the laws OF the
State in which they are doing bust
ness, and any violation Of this law
involves a forfeiture of the interest.
In New York, however, the penalty
for usury is forfeiture Of principal
and interest. A case in that State.
wherein a party having charsedmore
than the seven per cent. allowed by
the State law, permitted himself to
be sued, and the case going up to the
Court of Appeals, was decided in his
favor. 1t was appealed to the su-
preme Court of the United States,
and that body reversed the decision
ofthe State Judiciary upon the ground
that the laws ofCongress are supreme
and the National Banking act does
not permit forfeiture of the principal
such cases.
