PRor, HUGHES entertains the hope,
or rather thinks it possible, that we
shall one day be able to "tap the
brains Of its thought" by means of a
microphonel He holds that all thought
is accompanied by an unconscious
movement of the articulating organs,
aud that, therefore, it may come to
pass that by o highly sensitive micro
phone the articulate vibrations Of the
head will be made audible. Of course,
the theory that unconscious artlcula-
ton always accompanies thought is
purely hypothetical; but in these times
it 10 best not to pronounce anything
impossible unless it implies contra
diction OF terms-an absurdity.

WHgREAs, We learn with undis-

Court Of the United States has, with
tic unaniaisty Of full bench, decided
apon the validity and consti.utionality
Of the laws Of Congress, made for
the suppression Of that odious feature

Rssolred, That we ask as the ex-
preston of this Honorable Body, and

resents, that the Congress Of the

earliest convenience, pass and enact
such laws as will make the decision of

Female society.

It is better to pass an evening once
or twice q week in lady's drawing
room even though the conversation is
slow and you know the girls song by
heart, than in club, u tavern, or pit
If Il theatre. All amusements Of.
youth to which virtuoos women are
not admitted, rely upon it, are delete
rions in their nature. All men who
avoid female society have dull percep-
tons; and are stupid, or have gross
tastes, and revolt against what is
pure. Your club swaggercrs, who
are sucking the butts Of biillard-cnes
all night, call female society insipid.
Poetry is nninspiring to a jockey;
beauty has no charms for blind man;
music does not please a poor beast
who does not know one tune from an
other; but as pure eplcure IL hardly
tired OF water-sauccs, and brown
bread and butter, protest Can sit a
whole night talking with a we'll regu-
lated woman about her girl Fanny,
or her boy Frank, and like the even
ing's entertainment. One Of the great
benefits man may derive from wo
mems society is that he is bound to be
respectful to her. The habit is o.
great good to your moral man, depend
upon it. Our education makes us the
most selfish of men in the world.

NORTHERN POLITICAL SENTIMENT.

lNatchez Democrat
The following, which VIC have Sc
lected from the Washington Post, of
Sept. 18th, goes far to indicate, as a
large straw at least, the way the wind
! blows:
tsThe Vicksburg Herald, a paper
| now so frequently commended by Re-
publican journals on account of its al
legged self-sacrificing course with refer
cnce to the Dixon killing, was a few
years ago a most violent advocate of a
white line Democracy, but has COM
pletely changed front since its editor
returned home from Washington last
spring. While here the editor was in
constant and suspicious private COM
munication with Senator Bruce and
Mr.. Hayes. A leading Republican,
ex- United States Senator Pease, who
had stumped the Northwest for Hayes
and Wheeler, was turned out of the
postoffice at Vicksburg, and a friend of
the Herald's editor, Mr.. Dickson, put
in. Senator Lamar was induced to
favor the confirmation of Dickson on
the ground that he was a Democrat,
but when the Herald editor returned
home he made haste to publish Mr..
Dickson as a conservative man. The
Herald next ridiculed and then assailed
the action of the Democrats in extra
session. Soon thereafter it became an
ultra-advocate of the negroes right to
Office, and now the editor is an inde-
pendent candidate for the State Senate,
and is the most blatant opponent of
what he calls the negro-be-damned
Democracy. We have heard it said
that lie promised Hayes to take this
course if his friend was appointed post
master Mt Vicksburg. Is this true ?''

BEFORE THE SUPREME

The approaching annual term of the
United States Supreme Court in Octo.
Der will be of unusual interest, as the
constitutionality of much of the recon-
struction legislation will be tested.
There will be taken up for hearing the
celebrated Virginia case, involving the
right of colored men to be tried by ju-
ries of their own color. As is known,
this case presents most important fea-
lures, involving the constitutionality
of the reconstruction legislation of
Congress. Mr.. Justice Strong has sent
for hearing on the same day before
the full bench the case of the Ohio
election judges, involving the consti-
nationality of the election laws of Con-
gress. The record in this case has just
been received at the Office of the clerk
of the Supreme Court. It will be nee
essary for the counsel in this case to
move in open court that 1t be placed on
the docket. Chief Justice Waite has
also set the 14th day of October for the
hearing of the habeas corpus cases of
the Maryland election judges. 1t may
be that the Chief Justice will desire to
hear the Maryland cases in conjunction
with his associates, although he has
not, so far as is known here, given any
intimation to that effect. At all events
C0ere l8 now the prospect Cnat before
the ensuing term of court has termi-
mated there will be an authoritative
decision as to the validity of most if
not all of the reconstruction legislation
which sits so heavily on large por.
ton of the country. 1t has been an
open secret that the Supreme Court
avoided, as far as was possible, the
rendering of opinions on the political
legislation of Congress, but the men,
beers of that tribunal have at last doubt
less realized that the point must be
met sooner or later. The Virginia
case, by reason of the attitude of
Judge Rives, of the United States Dis
trict Court, involves points of vast mag
nitude, including the right of the Fed
eral judiciary not only to imprison
State judges for carrying out State
laws, but the Governors of the States
for executing such laws and members
of the Legislature for voting for such
laws.

The following curious calculation ap-

Imperial had seventeen wounds. There
are seventeen letters in the name Ma
poleon Bonaparte. The addition of
the fignres 1908, the date of the birth
Of Napoleon III, makes seventeen; SO
docs 1926, the date of the Empress Eu-
genie's birth, and 1868. the date of
their marriage. From that to 1870, the
year of their fall, was seventeen years.
The Prince Imperial was seventeen
years of age when his father died.

Leavenworth, Kansas, is the old
home of Gen. Sherman. He lived
there and practiced law. He got one
case in court-the only one he ever
tried in his life. It was legal con-
troversy about a little bill worth about
$15. The law and the facts were all
on General Sherman's side, and he
went into court with a large number of
law books and a long brief. The law
yer on the other side, however, won
the case. General Sherman picked up
his books and walked out of court, de-
claring that he would never try an
other lawsuit in Kansas, and he never
did.-N Y. Tribune.

THE STATIONERY" QUESTION.

Congress passed law, based upon the
idea or principle, that its members should
have certain amount appropriated for "sta-
"tionery," aud that law now exists. The
provisions of the law are such that if mem
bers prefer the money they draw that, and
the Government furnishes no stationery"
to them. Under this law stationery store
is kept by each House of Congress, which is
stocked with stationery" purchased by the
proper officer, and which is furnished to
Senators and members at given rates of
value. Accounts are kept with them, and
when the amount of Sl25 per session is cx-
hausted then the accounts are closed. If
overdrawn, then the excess becomes lien
upon their salaries If not drawn in sta
"tionery,n then the balance of their quota
is paid 10 them in money. This is the case
and to the average American mind it
opens the door TO the very natural
query: If Senators and members have
need of stationery and there can be no
doubt of that-then why do they not take
the stationery" and use it, if needs be- to
the amount Of the appropriation And if
| they have no need of it, why is the money
appropriated under that head and why do
they put the money in their pockets under
the pretense that it Is stationery when il
is not? Why are Bibles, hymn-bools,
cards, ra2ors, opera-glasses, cutlery, and the
| like obtained under the head of stationery p
when the law contemplated no such use OF
the money or it would have so expressed it
We entertain the old-iashoned opinion that
the example thus publicly set by law maxi
ers is not healthy for the moral sentiment of
the country. 1t isa petty depreciation upon
the public purse, to pass law under plea
of necessity for stationery for the public
use and have any portion of the sum named
for that purpose diverted to other uses The
sum, we admit, is trivial, but the example
is high and of great magnitude in the public
eye, is to be deplored, and hence should
be discontinued Those members who
have use for opera-glasses, magic pencils,
Bibles, hymn-books, cards, or any other
articles of devotional or practicaluse in lilC
outside of stationery can much better af-
ford to purchase them and pay for them
from their own pockets than to obtain them
under thepretext that they are Stationery"
for they are not; and the exposure of the
