course of the retreating army, and al
ready the reports of its approach had
reached, and terrified the excited inhab-
itants. In their turn, they began to
make preparations for retreat; for they
knew there was no hope for them from
the hands of the soldiers. Every one
VINO had the strength to fly, fled; some
trying to take with them their worldly
goods, others to conceal them. The lit
tie village was fast growing deserted.
Some burnt or dismantled their houses.
The old were placed in wagons, and the
young hurried their families away with
them. But in the little cottage there
was none of this hustle. The poor
crippled boy could not move from his
bed. Tie widowed mother had no
friends intimate enough to spare a
thought for her in this time Of trouble,
when every one thought only of himself
and of those nearest to him. What
chance in flight was there for her and
her young children, among whom one
was the poor crippled boy? 1t was
evening, and the sound Of distant voices
and of preparation had died away
The poor boy was wakeful with terror
now urging his mother 10 leave MN 10
his fate, now dreadlng lest she should
take him at his word, and leave HIM be-
hind.

in n case whore the City Of Olnoy wns con-
cornod. That city, like Chicago, had spo-
cinl charter, and undertook to collect its
taxos under Bill 800. An appeal was made
to the Supreme Court. That tribunal held
that Bill 300 WINS an independent act, and
not an amendment to tho General Revenue
law. Tho Court discussed liz provisions, hold
them applicable to all cities, but gavo no
word OF intimation that tho Inv was un-
constitutional md void. II the Court at

void, how ia II possible for tho Common

opinion before them, to havo known tho
fact? As part Of tho judicial history Of tho
