THE JURORS TEST OATH. Julxge Field ElabOrates His Offls cfal Opinion on the Bench.

"Judge, is 1t true that you to. day decided the test oath to be uncon- stitutional?" asked the Post Mon- day of Justice Field Tn one of thu corridors of the Capitol.
 "The court held," replied the jus tice, speaking of the Supreme court "that witness could not be asked those questions contained in the test oath. I went further and held that the law was unconstitutional and void; that it was odious and oppress. i've and repugnant to the spirit of our institutions. l said that 1t Was operative only as a war measure in insurgent states dominated by Uni ted States forces; that as soon as the war was over, and ithe States were restored to their consti- tutional relations with the Union, it became imperative and was as much out of place as an act quartering sol. diers in every southern gentleman's' 8 house. That would be justifiable in time of war, but l don't suppose any body would defend It ih tiine of peace.-Washington Post.

Fr.udyusfead OF Shot Guns.

Trustworthy information received
here from Mississippi states that the
colored exodus is at an end for the
present. The negroes say that the de-
meanor of the whites toward them has
wholly changed, and that while the
present state of things lasts they have
no desire to leave. Almost every
black man on the west side of the river,
who staid at home, has cotton enough
to pay all his debts and have good
sum of money left. In the best local.
tiles they count on a bale and a quar-
ter per acre, which is about equal to 4O
bushels of wheat per acre in the North.
In many localities, cotton-pickers nov
get from IS cents to 81 per 100, and
good hands can average 25o pounds,
while some women can pick 400. In
many instances a man and wife earn
s5 or So day. The crop is 50. large
that this busy season will last till
Christmas, and planters are now bid
ding against each other for laborers.
A number of colored politicians and
leaders who were talked with agree
that there is a vast improvement in the
Mississippi Valley; that bull-dozing
has stopped, and that until it is re-
sumed there will be no more emigra-
ton. The whites, they say. now de-
pend upon ballot-stutling and political
tricks to accomplish their objects, and
thew find these methods more effective
and less expensive than sho. guns.

story is sent for publication in the
hope it may be a warning to the young

"Soms time ago a young English
woman came to this country to marry a
man to whom she had been afiianced in
England and who had come here two
years previously to engaged in business.
She was to marry him at the house Of
a friend of her mother, with whom she
was staying. During the time she was

Just drunk enough to be foolish. She
was shocked and panied beyond meas

diately stopped her preparations, and
told him she could not marry him. He
protested she would drive him to dis
traction, and that he would never

Mrs. Kate Cha.s.sprax no sued.

George Linck, who was the tuter OF
Mrs. Kats Sprague's children at the
time Of the outbreak of the recent trou-
bles at Canonchet, has sued Mrs. Spra-
que In the Marine Court, In New York,
for $40, being the amount of his sala-
ry for three months, with disbursements
for travelling and other expenses. Linck
says In his complaint that he was en-
gagged on the Goth of June, 1879, to
give instruction in German, French and
English to Willie Sprague for three
months from July !, 1879. and that the
price agreed upon was $50 month,
with board and travelling expenses;
that on the 1st Of July in the Westmin-
ster Hotel in New York, Mrs. Sprague
intrustsd Willie to his care, aud he ac-
com panied the boy to Canonchet and
entered upon his duties, and was ready
to fulfill his part of the contract, and
that from August 10 to October ] he
was in New York, under expense,
while waiting for the defendant to al
low him (the plaintiii) to fulfill the cou-
tract.
In the answer TO the complaint it Is
averred that at the times specified Mrs.
Sprague WAS the wife OF William Spra.
CUE, and that the agreement with Linck
was made in her capacity as married
woman and contracted with her in that
capacity, and she asks, therefore, that the
complaint be dismissed.

1hePiasidant,s Message.

The Presidents message has beeu iiu-
ished aud ia now in the hands OF the
printer. Five hundred copies will be
prepared tor the Associated Press 10
mail to newspapers, to be published
Monday simultaneously with its deliv-
cry to Congress. The message will be
about as long as that of last year.
The most serious question which has
been under consideration by the ad-
ministrati0D, in connection with the
Presidents message and Secretary Sher-
mans report, is as to the retirement OF
legal tender notes. 1t is generally un-
derstood that the President will recon-
mend their retirement although its de-
termination may be changed before
Congress assemblies next Monday.
An official very near him said that
he and Secretary Sherman would make
the recommendation, but a Cabinet Of
licer gave it as his opinion that moth
ing would be said about the subject.
Whatever may be the final decision
there is no doubt that the adminisfra-
ton will bring pressure to bear on Con
gress to provide for the retirement OF
greenbaok and the really interesting
question is, how shall this be effected ?
The best way, in the view OF the Treas :
ury officials, is simply to repeat what
is known az the Fort bill, which pro-
yides for the reissue of greenbacks al
ter they have been retired. Treasurer
Gilfllin says that had the Fort bill
been out of the way during the past
year at least twenty millions Of green
backs would have been retired. This
question is daily becoming more impor-
tant owing to the rapid increase of the
circulation of the national bank notes,
which is now growing at the rate OF
three millions per annum.

The annual report of the Postmaster
General for the year ending June 30,
1879, has just been issued. The total
expenditures for this department dur.
ing the year we're $50, 04l, 1892, SO. The
States returning revenues in excess OF
one million dollars were New York,
Pennsylvania, Illinois, Massachusetts,
Ohio, Missouri and Michigan. The to.
tai amount of postage collected during
the year on postage stamps, stamped
envelopes and postal cards was s29,

on newspapers and periodicals. mailed
to su ubscribers from known offices of
publication was sl,l04, ls4.67 on 5l,-
1875, 500 pounds of matter. The fact
that but one lire of steamships carry
ing our flag is employed in conveying
the United States mails across the At
lantic, ia humiliating to the pride OF
every American citizen. This line
makes regular weekly trips from Phil
adelphia to Liverpool, but the great
bu.k of our mails for Europe is carried
by steamers under foreign flags.

K4nd of Christianity.

The Warden of the State Prison at
Bangor, Me-, recently related the fol-
lowing story. A young woman who
served out a sentence offive years found
means of education, and becoming
thoroughly reformed and a Christian,
left the prison in appearance a lady.
She wss employed by a dry goods firm
in Portland as saleswoman, and gave
perfect satisfaction to her employers,
till one day a wealthy lady OF the place
entered the store and recognized her
Calling the proprietor aside, she told
him that the girl had been in the
State Prison. He replied that he knew
it. but that she had done her duty
faithfully and tina. they were well
satisfied with her. "Well," said the
lady, "if you keep her in your store
will neither trade with you myself nor
suffer any of my friends to, If l ca"
help IT," So the proprietor, rather
than lose his customer, called in the
Door girl and discharged her.

You have meditated over and thought

must 20 aud mediate again; do not lot
II alarm you. People do get alarmed
1t their own thoughts sometimes and
they try to Danish certain thoughts
from their minds as troublesome intru-
ders. They should not be banished
but welcomed as friends, for tell you
there is salvation in thought ifyou will
carry 1t far enough. Go by yourself
for another brief hour, and listen to q
still small voice that whispers In your
heart. Does 1t not tell you that be-
yond death there Is another life 7 You
may call 1t an instinct or an intuition
or a superstition, or divine monition;
but you know the voice is there. Has
1t not correlats beyond the grave !
You feel, you know, that death does not
end all. There Is existence beyond; it
is this that gives to death that appall-
ing title King Of Terrors.
Something whispers in your heart
that beyond the clutches OF that ghost
ly monarchs, there will bs the con
sciosness Of state Of things that may
well be dreaded, elise why do you
shudder at the thought OF dying? II
you are going to live hereafter, you
must make straight paths for your feet

grsve-your course Of life, your conduct
in this world, needs to be cleansed.
The good man quoted in No. /, asked,
"wherswithal' meaning how, by what
means, "shall young man cleanse his
wayi" This implies that your course
of life needs to be cleared OF certain
things that are in it--certain things
that are unclean. A cleansing implies
deiilement. In your meditations you
will discover plainly enough what
things defile your way in lie; and you
already see that they will affect your
interests in that state Of being which
lies beyond the grave. propose to as
sist you in future number, not only
to see these things more perfectly, but
to have them removed out Of your
