Supreme Court.
In the case OF Lewis, trustee of Jay
Cooke & Co., against the United States,
the court affirmed the right of the govern
ment to apply on the latter debt the pro-
ceeds of collaterals pledged in 1873 by
Cooke, McCulloch & Co., of London, as Sc
curity fol the deposits made with them by
the government, as disbursing agents of the
Navy Department. and decided that as to
| the sum of tl32, 900 at that time deposited
with Cooke, McCulloch & Co., the govern
| ment is entitled to priority out of
| the separate estates of the members Of
| the firm of Jay Cooke & Co., who were
! also members of the firm of Cooke, McCul-
| lOch T. Co. The court says the government

Since 1865 $l2 had to be paid for them; oy
this bill they would be sold for STU.
Mr.. Elliott said the $l2 was when they
were taken by numbers; $40 had been the
price for the volume.
Mr.. Levisee said the Twenty sixth Annual
had not vet been furnished.
Mr.. Hall said he had got his six months
since.
Mr., Levisee said of the 400 that should be
furnished the Secretary OF State only 200
had been; the balance were sent to Gresh-
ANS, and instead of the proceeds going to
the treasury not one dollar had been paid.
1t had been job in the past, but this bill
was to prevent one in the future. The Re
PUBLICAN had had slurring article on
Messrs. b. Bloomfield & Co., saying that
they wished to do the work on terms that
no house in the world could offer with
profit. There was not volume OF the
reimbursement Annual in the office of the
Secretary of State. At present the cost to
the State was not less than $4,000.
Mr. Booth called Mr.. Levisee to order,
stating he had been speaking half an hour.
Mr.. Levisee thought otherwise, but Mr..
Booth felt sure of it; he had been watching
the clock for twenty minutes.
Mr. Walker bought it was improper for
the State to pick out any Individual and
donate a contract to him. He wished to
amend by awarding it to the lowest bidder.
IT Mcssrs. Bloomfe Id & Co. possessed sutii-
Gent facilities they could make such bids
as would cause them to obtain it.
Mr.. Dupre considered this imp racticable
as there was no bid IN the bill. 1t simply
transfers the contract on condition that 2oO
copies ne furnished the State under pen
atty of Sl2 GOO.
Mr.. Hammond was opposed to the entire
bill and to the transfer of the contract. As
| it existed any errors or failures could be
correc ted, but this bill was no re medy.
Mr.. Walkers amendment was rejected
| one of Mr.. Dupres, reducing the price tt
| So adopted, and the bill went over on {
| failure 10 suspend the rules.
| The House then continued with the cal
endar till the hour of adjournment.

Gems of Thought.

1t is because gold is rare that gliding
has been invented, which, without hay
ing its solidity, has nil its brilliancy.
Thus, to replace tho kindness we lack,
We have devised politcucss, which Inns
all its appearance.
Love has the tendency Of pressing to-
gether nil the lights-Rll the rays emit
ted from the beloved object by the
burning-glass Of fantasy-into one focus,
md making OF them one radiant sun
without any spots.
Shuu tho inquisitive, for thou wilt be-
sure to find him lcaky; open ears do not
keep conscientiously what has been in
trusted to them, and word oncespoken
flies never to be recalled.
Death is the wish Of some, the relief
OF many, and the end OF all. 1t sets the
slavo at liberty, carries the banished
man home, and places oil men on the
same lsRel, insomuch that life itself wcrc
punishment without it.
Extreme old age is childhood; ex-
tremo wisdom is ignorance, and so it
may he called, since tho man whom the
oracle pronounced the wisest OF men
professed that he knew nothing; yea,
push n coward to the extreme and he
will show courage; oppress n man to
the Inst and he will rise above oppres-
sion.
Wood burns because it has the proper
stuff for that purpose in it, and man
becomes renowned because ho has the
necessary stuff in him. Renown is not
to be sought, and all pursuit Of it is vain.
A person may, indeed, by skillful con-
duct and various artificial means make n
sort of name for himself, but il the in
ner jewel is wanting, NIL is vanity and
will not lust n day.
Ho who never relaxcs into sportive-
ness is wearisomO companion, but be-
ware of him who jcsts ut everything.
Such men disparagc, by some ludicrous
association, all objects which are pre-
seutcd to their thoughts, and thereby
render themselves incapable OF any emo
tim which can either elevate or soften
them; they bring upon their moral being
an influence more withering than the
blasts OF the desert.

Fashion Notes.

Fringes are now so exquisitcly made,
and arc so costly, that instead OF their
being manufactured to match dress
tho dress il made to match tho fringe.
Oyerskirts arc longer than ever, al.
most entirely conceaIiug tho under
skirts.
Wraps for spriug are both sack and
mantle shapes.
Dog collars Of silver and other metals,
also OF shell, arc worn with low necked
corsages as well rs with high ones.
An attempt will be made to Introduce
dark green, blue and brown grenadinc
dresses this summer. They will come in
stripes and blocks, as will many Of the
black grenadines.
The newest basques arc simple shaped
cuirasses, very loug. The plainness is
remedied by an abundance Of trimming.
Donnets Of q network OF flowers, very
6ne and very like natural ones, are
made in Paris for the theater.
Coat sleeves that are very close fit.
ting and have small, neat setting cuffs,
arc favorite model for house and street
dresses.
Black grenadines checked with either
gold or silver threads are the rewcst
things out in this fabric for evening
wear.
Bonncts are rs various in shape rs
polonaises. The brims aro hardly as
nming rs heretofore. New damasked
ribbons and open meshed gauzes are
much used in trimming them; flowers
are also abundNntly used.
De begcs will DO worn great deal
this spring. These soft woolen goods
come in three different patterns for one
costume, viz. plaid, plain and graduated
stripes, ind usually showing three shades
Of brown dark, medium and light.
Silk galloon is very fashionable.
Lace is always in vogue,
Satin dresses are popular for dinner
reception occasions.
Fans are somewhat smaller, and are
worn at balls suspended by ribbon or
chain from the wrist.
A now style OF gimp ornament lately
introduced is made in the form Of the
shoulder belts worn by soldiers. They
cross the bodice and fall belowthe waist,
terminating with little pocket.
Cords for looping mp the dresses are
more worn than during the winter.
All wool camel's hair cloths show plain
and striped goods; the latter are grad.
uated from hair lines to stripes half an
inch wide.
Coarse straw and fine chip bonnets
afe dyed ivory and cream tiuts for spring
wear. In the silks, flowers and lGces for
trimming them the same ycllow.white
huos prevail.
A piece OF soft feather trimming, the
color of the trimming Of tho dress, is
worn with softeuing eiIectabout the neck;
this is particularly becoming when worn
with white.
Satin ribbon slightly gathered, with
bow iu front and ornament attached,
is much worn about the neck. A
piece Of real lace tied at the buck Of the
neck and falling in long ends is also
fashionable.
Bracelets are reduced in size.

Making Land In Holland.

The work OF draining of an inland
sea, now going OH III Holland, will take
from twelve to twenty years. About
4S5, ,776 acres will be inclosed by the
dyke, and deducting ons.tenth for
canals, there will remain nearly 440, 200
acres, of which nearly $1,000 acrcs will
be sandy, OF little use to agriculture,
but invaluable for public works. The
reservoirs will be made on this surface,
and will cover about $500 acres. The
cost OF tho work is expected to bo about
$4,000, 900 in gold, or abont Sl23 m
acre for $4,000 acres. But this does
not include interest, which on capital
OF $iS,0O0.000, for say sixteen years,
would be serious matter. With inter.
est computed on au advantageous mr.
rangement with the government, the
cost would bo S5l, ,75O, 900, or Sl5S per
mere. Tho Haarlom drainage cost only
1929, andeventhat diduOt pay, though the
land hns doubled in value since. II is
estimated that the addition Of this terri.
tory to Holland will increase the reve-
nuos $4,000 yearly.

"But uncle" gasped little Rachel,

And Rachel felt something warm and
wet upon her cheek, like tear, as the
old gentleman stopped to kiss her.
When Hugh came home, to find his
little wife upon the veranda, all vel
coming smiles to greet bin, he ex'
claimed:
"Why, Uncle Ben. this is n perfect

"But mono too good for the little
