What Would he Do J

A Texan, who was returning home after
a campaign against the Indians, having got
separated from his companions, and having
had his horse stolen, was obliged to take it
afoot. Walking along leisurely one Sunday
morning, with hisrifle on his shoulder, look
ing out for game to make a breakfast on,
without knowing what day Of the week 1t
was, he suddenly came to a small stream on
confines ofTexas,not knowing that he had as
yet reached the border Of his native State.
Perceiving that the stream abounded in fish,
he took hook and line from his pocl,et,and,
procuring some worms Tor beib he sat down
patiently on the bank, wrapped in
brown study, thinking of his little farm at
home, when preacher who was on the
circuit rode suddenly up, and thus occosted
him:
Halo stranger! what are you doing
there ?"
" Fishing for my breakfast" replied the
Texan, without deigning to look around at
his interrogator.
"Well, do you know you are violating
the sobbath9 said the preacher in draw
ling, psalm-saying tone.
"No," said the Texan, turning around
and looking up at the preacher for the first
time, with an air of surprise, which the
preacher took for CONSERVATION, Il must be
Somewhat near the white settlements, then"
"Yes, you aro?" replied the preacher,
"and violating the Lords day, for which
you will have to answer hereafter on the
great day of Judgment"
The Texan looked up with a supplicating
air, and the preacher, thinking his penitent
mood a good time to make him convert
continues,
"Do you know, my young friend, that you
are sitting on the edge of the broad stream
of iniquity, and without you leave here
and turn into the home paths Of virtue
that you will be lost? Where doyou think
you would go to now" said the preacher
warming with his own eloquence, "suppos
ing the angel Gabriel was to blow hi,
horn?'
The Texan coolly hauled in his line, and
putting it in his pocket, rose to his feet, and
fronting the preacher, said; You ask m,
whar think would go to if the angel Ga
briel should blow his horn?"
"Yes," replied the preacer.
"Well, you see, whareycr tharis an if tn,
case admits of argument-now you are sup
posin', amt you? We'll, now, maybe yol
know what bee gum is? Maybe you'v
hearn tell of these big black bars hercabout
and maybe you've seen Injins? We'll, now
supposin' you was after bee gum, and on

The Supreme Court of Alabama
holds that the marriage of a white per-
son with a person of the negro race is
a punishable offense, and that the law
which provides for such an offense the
penalty of not less than two nor more
than seven years. hard labor is not in
conflict with the act of Congress known
as the civil rights act. This is re-
versal of n decision by the predecessors
of the present Supreme Court of Ala
bama, to the effect that the civil rights
bill conferred on the negro ssthe right
to make and enforce contracts, among
which is that of marriage with any
citizen capable of entering into that
relation.' The court holds in the
present case that the law making such
marriages punishable is valid because
no discrimination is made in favor of
the white person, either in the capa-
city to enter into such q relation or the
penalty, and that, moreover, at the
time of the passage Of the civil rights
bill t'similar laws to that of Alabama
existed in several, perhaps nearly all,
of the Northern States whose represen-
tatives in Congress voted for that act"
In view of the previous conflicting
decision, the court recommends the
pardon of the person upon whose case
they pass.

A Novel Feature

Presents itself to those who use Parker's
Hair Balsam, in the discovery of its
rare and remarkable merits. Many
have written us expressing their de-
light in the fact that it works like q
charm. Its disinfectant properties in
chemical combination rendering 1t
healthful, cleansing and healing are
bearing fruit, and the beautiful hair
it produces, with the clean, healthy
scalp, entirely freed from Dandruff
and falling hair, are achievements for
which we have reason to feel proud.
A patron assures us that he has used
twelve different Hair Preparations and
that Parker's Hair Balsam SURPRISES
them all. TO hair that has become
gray or faded, it restores that beautiful
natural color of youth, and produces II
vigor and luXuriance that surprises
every one. Buy bottle from G. w.
McFee and test its merits.

Quite an important and rather queer
invention was explained to the House
Committee on Commerce the other
day, by Mr.. M. J. Adams, of st. Paul,
Mimi, designed to establish perma-
nent channels in rivers. He asks for
an appropriation to thoroughly test the
usefulness of the invention, although
it is said to have already been tried by
the English and French governments,
and proved successful. The invention
consists of a line of tubes, with valve
openings, laid in the centre of the bed
of the river, from one end to the other,
irrespective of distance. This pipe re-
mains permanent; into it water is
forced by a pump at its head, while a
gate at the extreme end secures the
pressure. This invention acts some
thing like a submarine battery, the
opening of the valve at any place
needed forcing the water out with
such power as to abrade the sand or

THE COMING PRESS.

The coming press is massive engine
of mirrOr-1ike steel and brass. 1t is
fed with the blanks through a verti-
cal brass tube in the same way that
the milling machine is fed, and very
charming young lady satisfies its ap-
petite, which demands eighty blanks
a minute. Its power is that of the
toggle joint, and it moves with the
soniferous rock of a baby giants era
die. AS the blanks reach the bottom
of the tube they arc seized singly by a
pair of steel feeders, similar in motion
to human fingers and thumbs, and
carried forward and lodged in the col
lar between the upper and lower dies.
At the same motion the lever is de-
scending, and, by the time the 1,1a,ecAet
is in position, the toggle,joint, brought
into a vertical position, imparts to the
piece pressure which, within the
narrow limits of its motion, is almost
incalculable. The immediate relaXa-
ton of the joint causes the upper die
to be lifted, when the feeders, coming
up with a second 3olctnchet, push away
the one already coined. The 31lWlchet
before being struck, is slightly less in
diameter than the steel ring or collar
into which it drops; but the pressure
upon the dies causes the piece to eX-
pand into the collar, and takes from it
the reeding or fluting of its edge. The
tinkle of the falling coins and the
measured swing of the machine are
musical, and would interweave with
other instruments in miser's SYM
phony. Do they awaken far-reaching
thoughts in the girl who fills the tube,
and sees the insersate press casting off
the coins at the rate of more than
fourteen millions year? Every time
she hears the tinkle in the box near
her feet an inestimab1y powerful agent
is entering the world, and from the
machine to which she is SO carefully
ministering come the multifarious evil
and good of all civilization.-APple
