A Romance in Real Life.

About the year 1896 there lived in
the village of Elton, near Aberdeen
Scotland, a young shoemaker doing a
prosperous business. He married and
during the first four years Il son and
daughter were born.
About the end Of those four years,
for some cause unknown, the husband
and wife mutually agreed to separate
the father to take the son and the
mother tho daughter.
The next year the daughter died.
lu the meantime tho father and little
son sailed for America aud settled 10
Canada, the father working at vari.
GUS occupations, as circumstances al.
mitted.
About the year 1850 lie received
word from Scotland that his wife had
died. From this time all correspon.
dence with friends in Scotland, which
had been previously kept up, ceased.
The son having grown to manhood
with the impression that his mother
had died when he was about Que. year
and-a-half years old, entered the pro-
fession of school teacher in the neigh
borhood of Toronto, where about the
year 1860, he married.
The father, believing that his form.
or partner in life had been dead about
eleven years, and since the son had
married, he felt lonesome and took
unto himselfa second wife.
The sou, after teaching about ten
years left the profession on account
Of ill.health, for more active duties,
and finally located himself in Essex.
The father and step mother still lived
III TORONTO.
In the summer Of 1877 the father
came to make his sou visit in Essex,
and died suddenly Of inflammation at
his sons residence.
After the fathers death the son,
anxious to End out about the existence
Of brother of his fathers, whom he
had reason to believe was still alive
in Europe, instituted an extensive
and thorough correspondence with
various parties 10 Scotland, and,
strange to say, lie found that his own
mother was still alive, and leading a
retired life in Scotland.
The son is nov making all the nee.
eesary arrangements for bringing his
aged mother to Essex Windsor

How ''the DeciSiOn'' is Regarded

The Washington Post has this It.

by AnurrSon'S counsel aud t,ituh,
VAS the ordering of new t,ial, either

rannrl or the discovery "f new r\i
lrncr for the defense or both. But,
according /" our Geographic advirrs,
The supreme cont went behind both
the technical points raised h\ the
counsel tor The defense aud tho inva
lidity urged against the forms of the
trial t" attack the sub rct matter Of
the Indictment itself. As we under
stand it the supreme court of l-"uisi
ana holds that Mr.. An,lcr>"n's offtnse
WAS not inlictable nn.lcr the statute ;
that his crime, whatever it may be
in morals, is not legally presrntahle
by grand or t,iablc hy petit jury

ntrs Of Louisiana. This, we are in-
informed, puts an end to the return.
ing board trials. The commentary is
that the people Of Louisiana have no
remedy against those who may have
c"nspired in the past OF may plot in
the future to annul or reverse thei,
expressed will at the polls. Of course
we cannot speak positively upon these
points until we see the text Of the
opinion of the supreme conH. But
our information 10y telegraph points
c"nclusivoly in the direction we have
indicated.
Thus, we remark that the doctrine
held by the supreme court seems to
he extra judicial to the last degree,
if not absolutely revolutionary. The
notion that forgery ceases to he an
indctable otfense whenever it is com.
tnitted upon election returns, backed
mp by the ruling that the documents
proven to have been forged by An.
derson and his accompliccs were not
public documents within the purview
Of the law, is doctrine that will be
likely t" arouse curiosity in other
states as to what Louisiana law is,
anyhow, and, if so, how much, or
words to that effect. BE this as it
may, the supreme court of Louisiana
has taken John Sherman's fight into
it's own hands and the country at
large may consistently take the view
that at last the intermediate iDfamies
of that state have been taken out of
the national arena and bottled up
within her own local limits. This of
itself is = relief, aud neither the coun.
try nor the National Democracy will
take any more interest in the wrong
Of Il state whose people SEEN to have
either no law susceptible Of being
construed for the protection of their
franchises as frcemen or no courts
brave enough to construe them prop
erly IN the face Of lmpotent threats
from a powerless federal administra-
ton. 1t may be that more complete
information will tend to modify these
hasty conclusions ; but at present
there seem to be no alternative to
them.

| Senator Howe's speech is aimed at

shoulders of Judge Whitaker. The
impression at Washington is that
this is the beggind Of preconcerted
movement to wave the blood y shirt,

the North and thus secure the next
house az a compensation for losing

Washington, March 25.-Senate- -
Howe, Of Wisconsin, called up the
resolution submitted by him last
week calling upon the president for
information as to the charge against
Judge Whitaker of Louisiana, being
a defaulter to the United States, and
said: During the past year we have
seen here and every where through.
