Natures Wealth.

Call me not poor while heaven bright
About me casts its cheerful sheen,
And spring with fresh-awake delight
Weaves for my path its web of green.
The sweetest airs for me are played
When breezes thrill th'wOodland bower.
And gems of radiant CLEAN displayed
At dewy morn on spray and flower.
I've halls of art where frescoes Irvine
In glowing tints the walls around,
And traceries wrought by skill divine
Within their circled space abound.
The sprightliest songs with tender grnce
Are hymned by merry choral bands,
And richest g ssamer-threaded lace
Is deity spun by fairy hands.
Then deem me not OF wealth bereft
While earth is fair and heaven above,
The rarest boon of all is left
The power to admire and love.

The all-absorbing topic in politi-
cal circles i'm Washington on the oath
inst, was the publication of the an
nOuncement telegraphed from Jack
sonville, Fla, that Dennis (late
State Senator) and McLin, had con-
LESSONS in writing as to the frauds
by which Florida is said to have
been carried for Hayes in 1876. The
confessions themselves, up to the
present moment, have not yet been
received, aud Senator Jones express
SEES the opinion that they Will not
come to hand for a day or two. He
appears reluctant to converse about
the matter, and processes to know
only what has appeared i'll the pub
lie prints. Senator COnover stated
he had been informed some days ago
that these confessions would be
forthcoming. and hence their publ
cation is not SO much of a surprise
to hun. He jokingly remarked that
il seemed to he another case Oi
quickened conscience, a la Elizabeth
Tilton, and is of about as much rela-
tive importance.

Courtesy.

Probably nineteen-twentieths Of
the happiness you ever will have.
you will get at home. Some of you
will get pleasure i'll the theatre. and
some of you will get delight in the
church; but happiness you will find
only at home. The independence
that comes TO a man when his work
is over, and he feels he has run out
of the storm into the quiet harhor of
home where he can rest in peace
with his family, is something real.
1t does not make much difference
whether you own Your house or
whether you have only one little
room in that house, you can make
that one little room a true home to
you. You can people it Will, such
moods, you can turn to it with such
sweet fancies, that il will he fairly
luminous with their presence, and
will be to you the very perfection of
home. Against this home none
of you should ever transgress. You
should always treat each other with
courtesy. 1t is often not so difficult
to love a person as it is to be cour-
teous to them. Courtesy is of great
er value and more royal grace
than some people seem to think. II
you will but be courteous to each
other, You will soon learn to love
each other more wisely, profoundly,
not to say listingly. than yoa ever
did before.

The new principality Of Bulgaria

The new principality Of Bulgaria
according TO the treaty of San Ste
fano will comprise more than one
half of European Turkey The ter
ritory detached from the Ottoman
Empire, as nearly as can he calcu-
lated, will measure about thirty-tive
hundred square ieagnes, a surface
double that of Belgium and Holland
put together. The new principality,
however. will not be so thickly peo-
pied; with all its additions, il will
scarcely number five millions of in
habitants, that is to say, about as
many as Belgium. And yet the
old provinces of Bulgaria and Rou-
melia were the most populOns, fer
tile, and industrious that Turkey
possessed.

William NJ. Tweed, the king Of
modern thieves, is dead. The story
of this great malefactOr has been
written and rewritten until the coun-
try is familiar with it. 1t is unnec-
essary, therefore, to repeat the de-
tails here. Tweed was born in New
York in 1923; was elected Alderman
in 1850, and in 1853 was elected to
. Congress. He was for many years
the ruling spirit of the Tammany
Society, and may be said to have
been the originator of rings, and was
the "Boss" Of inquitous politics. His
end ought to be a warning to those
whose ambition tends in that direc-
tiOn.--Ex.

Indians that the Government can

tribe have each been furnished a

nuprems Court Deoision,


Keller vs. Lewis-The decree de-
clAres the money already paid on
the contract-and all right of de-
fendants in and to the lands,-for-
felted.
It is o universal rule in equity
never to enforce either penalty or
forfeiture, e. Story's Eq., 1919, and
cases oited.) On the contrary, equt-
" frequently interposes to prevent
the enforcement OF forfeiture at
law. In the view of a court Of equi-
II, in cases like the present, the le-
gal title Is retained by the vendor
as security for the balance of the
purchase money, and II the vendor
obtains his money and interest he
gets kll he expected when he en-
tered into the contract. Trues he
is not bound to wait indefinitely
after the failure of the purchaser
to comply with the terms of the
agreement. II the payments are
not made when due, he may, Ii out
Of possession, bring his ejectmeDt
aud recover the posses sion; but If
he comes into equity for relief, his
better remedy, in case of persist
ent default on the part of the
vendee, is to institute proceed
ings to foreclose the right Of the
vendee to purchase-the decree
usually giving the latter definite
time within which to perform.
(Hansborough VS.. Peck, 5 Wallace,
$685.
Under the circumstances of this
case, as presented by the pleadings
and evidence, the decree Of the Dis.
trlct Court should have fixed day
within which the defendants should
pay the balance due upon the con-
tract, and costs, etc., or be forever
foreclosed of all right or interest
In the lands or to conveyance
thereof.
Judgment and order reversed,
and cause remanded with direc.
tions to the Court below to render
. decree in accordance with the
views herein expressed.
