ANNETTE.
BY EDWARD RENAUD.

Annette. twas strange to meet last higllt;
Long Years ago, when last We met,
Your bright eyes were no longer bright
And the long lashes trembled wet
With tears. Annette
And now, u how, a smile. jest
Who would have deemed us friends before
Or read the riddles in each breast?
Strange memories of dead days of yore.
Youths golden storet
So wandering by life's solemn sea.
Some wave filings back wel-known face,
With eyes that haunt US mournfully
So tender, with the last tear trace.
From deaths embrace.
Can blame you, can you blame me.
For change that comes Who, changing,
grieves?
All no. the flower forgets the dew,
And autumn gids her golden sheaves
With last years leaves.
The broad, bright masses Of your hair,
That famed in giistening waves OF gold,
Say, have aeto lovers found them fair
AS when in those dear days Of old
Loves tale was told?
Each hour some blessed boon to win,
While days seemed moments. drunk with bliss,
We found life sweet, aye, sweet as sin
The days were barren did We miss
To clasp and kiss
Who calls dead love back from its grave?
Not you nor ; Its tomb is set
Hard by the murmur OF life's wave.
And we are wiser, who forget.
Nor fume, nor fret
Could You or !, dear wander back
To Faiths forgotten funeral pyres,
And find once more loves golden track,
Or light. from life's long blackened fires
Lote's dear desires
That rose within your shining hair
Was symbol of your thought and mine
Although, as when quaffed it there,
Your lips blushed brimming and divine
With Low red WINE
&c. looming UP like phantom ships.
In strange, wild moments such as these.
One moment, while each ensign dips,
We meet, and greet, then hug the breeze
~. For unknown seas.
Would you OF call back the past.
Since loves last star long since has set i?
Farewell. the stout shall bend the mast!
FAREWELL which means we must forget
Annette! Annette.

Important Supreme Court Decisions.


WASHINGTON, December 11.-The Su-
premc Court to-day rendered decisions in
the following cases:
No. lis, Windsor VS.. McVeigh; No. 1G3,
Gregory VS.. McVeig,u, error to the Corpora
ton Court Of Alexandria, Va. These were
actions by McVeigh to recover property
which had been contIscated. The court be-
low held that McVei gh had not had sufficient
notice Of confiscation proceedings, and judg-
ment was for him. That judgment is here
by affirmed, the court holding that jurisdic-
ton acquired by the seizure in such cases is
not to pass upon q iestions OF forfeiture ab-
solutely, but to pas upon that question after
opportunity has be- en- afforded to other par
ties interested to ppear and be heard upon
the charges against them. Some notitica-
ton beyond that arising from seizure is es-
sentiaI, prescribing the time Within which
appearance must be made, and net being
given in these cases by usual mode, the de-
cree Of condemnation is held to be void. Al
frmed. Justice Field delivered the opinion.
No. l24. Bigelow ct ais. VS.. Brooklyn Life
Insurance Company, error to Circuit Court
for northern district of Illinois. In this case
| the court held that where the policy OF in
surance provided that it should be avoided
| in case the insured should commit suicide,
sane Or insane, the fact appearing that death
was by suicide, the plea of insanity or OF
Inconsistencies Of the act is no answer to
the allegation Of suicide, and it is said that
it is not perceived why insurance companies
cannot limit their risks in any manner they
see fit, provided the insured Is told in proper
language of the extent of the limitation, and
it is not against public policy. Affirmed
Mr.. Justice Davis delivered the opinion.
No. $50, Dodge ct al. VS.. Freedman's Saw,

the District of Columbia. In this case the
principle is reaffirmed that declarations made

GERMANY AND SPAIN.--The Frcnc', min
lister to Spain left Madrid few days ago to
represent France in the conference at Con-
stantinople. Scarcely had his exit been ac-
complished when the German representative
at the Spanish capital, it is stated, negotiated
an alliance between Germany and Spain.
The Paris journals are consequently indig-
nant ut what they claim was very sharp prac-
tice. Much irritation has also been caused in
Paris by q dispatch from Bismarck in which
he severely censurcs the French government
on account Of the wrong done to German
commerce by the French export duties upon
iron. Altogether there seems to be no end
to the irritating incidents arising between
these two countries. The war, apparently.
has not ended yet.
