tuition, the Union, and the Laws.

Says the OkOlona Miss States
A man owes his paramount al
legiance to the government OF the
State of which he is a citizen, The
fact that he may have taken the oath
OF allegiance to the United States Gov
ernment does not make the slightest
difference. No man can remain q
citizen OF State and st the same
time relieve himself Of the burdens of
citizenship imposed by his sovereign
mistress.
OF course, with the "chivalry" an
oath has little weight against its
hatred to the nation, its uneOnquer-
able hostility to the Constitution and
the laws. The oath falls in every con-
| fllct with the State. The States adds,
with malignant fury:
The mean triumph of incipient
Radicalism at Memphis is due to the
defense OF universal suffrage by the
Democrats.
Hence the unconstitutional amend
ments," guaranteeing universal suf-
frage, must be repealed or violated 4;

PaFepa and carl Rosa.

The public smiled at the union be-
tween the great Parepa and little Carl
Rosa, when she might st least have
been q countess. TIE story of the en-
gsgement is characteristic. Rosa was
leader, quiet, worthy, modest, and
sdOring. He never ventured to press
his claims, but his faithful services
made a deeper impression than be
had an idea Of. The company was
travelling by rail one day, when
Parepa seated herself beside her silent
lover and remarked his melancholy.
Rosa was blue AM iOWnhearted, and
the good creature tried TO cheer him
up. She recon- mended matrimOny
to him, and receiving a despondent re-
ply that no woman would marry 9
man in his position, she is reported
to have patted him patrOniZingly on

marry you myself" And she did

Written on Both Sides.

Very frequently we see newspaper
correspondents admOnished TO write
on one side OF the paper only il they
wish to see their articles published
and it must be admitted that this is g
very wise rule, but of course it has its
exceptions. For instance, We re-
ceived a "pOme" Monday evening,
and had the writer been careful tC
write Oh one SIDE OF the paper only II

effort would have found cOngenia
fellowship in the waste basket, but
under the circumstances We cannot
refrain from giving a specimen stanZa
from esch side. The poem was head
ed "The Country" and the poetess
struck ner gait ss follows:
Oh, 1 love 10 bask in Natures smiles,
Under the greenwood tree,
With uaught in view save the rolling fields
Oh, the cOuntry's the place for me.
This was all very well, Of course
and no One could Justly com plain o'
her desire To get nuder the greenwood

the other side Of tie page told q diff

Mrs. Thompson and Mrs. Hayes.

A private letter from Saratoga
gives some interesting gossip about
Mrs. Thompson, the lady who last
winter presented the Nation with
Carpenters painting, "Signing the
Emancipation Proclamation" valued
at S25 600. Mrs. Thomson is widow
Of fifty-eight, though she appears
much younger. Her income is S55,-
600 a wear. derived from fortune OF
about 81, ,OOO.O 900. She never accepts
more than five per cent. on her Invest
ments. Mrs. Thompson gives to the
extent Of self-denisl. Her personal
expenses, exclusive of the actual nee
cessities of life, do not exceed $50
per annum. yet she gives away all OF
| her large income, and sometimes
pawns her jewelry to raise money for
some object Of charity, redeeming
them when she receives the next in
stallment of interest. Although
! troubled with slight lRmeness, she
does not keep 8 carriage or maid, and
! is as simple in her manners as child.
( When in Washington last winter,
Mrs. Thompson was entertained by
| Mrs. Hayes st the White House.
! After her visit she sent Mrs. Hayes 8
diamond pin in the shape of an eagle.
! Mrs. Hayes wore it twice in honor OF
the giver, and then sent it back, say
ing that while grateful for so hand
some q gift, as the wife Of the Presi-
dent she felt obliged to decline all

wanted q Patent for 4 Chalk Marx

The Washington correspondent of
the Hartford Times writes: 'Several
days ago an application reached the
Patent Office from J. J. Strong and
Kate NJ. Strong, of Talaiega, Ala,
for q patent for an ant guard.
The petition, which was q very
funny one, sets forth that the
SuOngs, who are man and wife,
had jointly put their minds together
and had invented the most wonderful
thing ever heard of, tO-Wit, an 'ant
at great length. They claimed that l.
was pstentable, as it was new and use
ful-twO things that are necessary to
secure a patent. The guard consisted
of drawing a chalk mark around ta-
BILE or other place, by which it was
claimed the approach OF ants was
stopped. HT. Strong says, and Mrs.
Strong sWears il is true, that an ant
can not walk over a chalk-line, aud
that all that is necessary to keep ants
away from anything is to draw 8
chslk-line around 1t, 1t appears that
chalk makes an ants legs slip up as
sOaping a track prevents a railroad
engine from starting. The petition
was novel, aud caused considerable
fun. At last the Commissioner of
Patents looked over the precedents
and directed his law clerk to write a
decision refusing the application on
the ground that there was nothing
new in the invention claimed, that
chalk had been used for such purposes
heretofore, and winding up with the
general statement that such Ideas are
not patentable. This decision was
sent to the Strong family, but it failed
to satisfy them. They had made up
their minds that there was millions
i'm their invention, and they did not
intend to be cheated out OF it by any
such decision. AS they have money
they can pay lawyers. To-day there
was filed an appeal from the decision
of the Commissioner OF Patents.
This appeal will be tried in Septe 10 bel
nex;, in the Circuit Court"

EVENING.
THE FIsHER's COTTAGE
uExRY HErSE ,GerInanl.

We sat by the Fishers cottage,
and looked al the stormy tide;
The evening mist came rising,
And floating far and wide.
One by one IN the lighthouse
The lamps shons sut on high;
And FAR on the dim horizon
A ship went sailing by.
We spoke Of storm and shipwreck-
Ufsailors, and how they live;
or journeys 'fwixt sky and water,
And the sorrows and joys they give.
We spoke Of distant countries,
Ia regions strange and fair;
Aud o. the wondroUs beings
Aad curious customs there.
or perfumed lamps on the Ganges,
Which are launched in the twilight hour
And the dark and silent Brahmins,
Who worship the lotus flower.
Ofthe wretched dwarfs OF Lapland-
Broad headed, wide-mOuthed and small
VINO crouch round their oiI-hres, cooking,
And chatter and scream and bawl.
And the maiders earnestly listened,
Till at last we spoke no more
The ship like a shadow had vanished
And darkness fell deep on the shore.

THE DRAGON-FLY.

When brooks of summer shallow run,
And fiercely glows the ardent sun,
Where waves the bluefag, tall and dank,
And water weeds grow rich and rank,
The haunting dragOn-fiy Is seen,
A winged spindle, gold and green.
Born OF the morning mists and dews,
He darts-a flash of jeweIled hues-
Athwart the waterfall, and filings
From his twice-duplicate wet wings
Diamonds and sapphires such as gleam
Aud vanish in bridemaid's dream.
Sail not, o Odragon-fiy, too near
The laKelet's bosom, dark and clear,
For, lurking In It's depth below,
The hungry trout, thy fatal foe,
Doth watch to snatch thee unaware,
At once from life, and light, and air.
o brilliant fleck of summers prime,
Enjoy thy brief fleet span of time
Full soon chill autumn's frosty breath
Shall blow for the a wind of death
And dash to dust thy gaudy sheen
Thy glittering mail o. gold and green.
