WASHINGTON, November 17.-Supreme
Court decisions: No. SO, Charles w.
Kirkland, plaintiff in error, vs.. Leonard
l.. Hotchkiss in error, to Supreme Court
Of Errors, Litchfield county, Conn. The
question presented by this case is wheth>
rr the plaintiff in error, citizen OF Con-
,,ecticut, can be rightfully taxed by that
State, under its laws, upon certain bonds
offered by him, but held in the city OF
Chicago, and secured by deeds Of trust
IN real estate located In that city. The
Supreme Court of Errors of Connecticut
held that the assessments ct which plain
tiff in error complained we're in conforms
" to the State laws, and that the laws
lid not infringe on anyet the complains
ants Constitutional rights. The Court
sustains tho view taken hy the lower tri>
bunal, and holds that the locality Of the
'iebt, for the purpose Of taxation, is not
Effected by the fact that it is secured by
mortgage upon real estate situated in
illinois,. Upon the question Of State
rax on toreign-held bonds it was held
Us Wall, 323) that the debt has its sitns
1T the creditors residence, and that it is
for the State to determine whether it
shall be taxed. The discretion Of the
State, in this respect, is not. in the opin>
ion of this Court, an objection to super
vision or control Of the Federal Govern :
ment in any Of its departments, for the
reason that such taxation violates no
provision of the Federal Constitution.
The judgment of the Supreme Court Of
Errors of Connecticut is affirmed with
costs.

him on a rail for distance of q mile to
the outskirts of the town and told him
never to return again. Although it Is

A HoggIsh Ioke.

Major Blank of this town once had
several white hogs of which he was
particularly proud.
One morning when he went out to
feed them he found one black hog
among his which persisted in coming to
the trough and which the Major as
persistently drove away. AT night
when he fed again the same ugly
black pig was there and as the Major
expressed it ''he was the most impudent
pig he ever saw as he could hardly keep
him from the trough with his cane"
One of his pretty white pigs was miss
ing however and the Major could get no
information regarding it though he
inquired all over town. At last he
asked one of the town jokers about the
pig and from the peculiar expression of
that mans face he concluded that he
was a victim. Going home he examined
the black pig more carefully and was
satisfied that 1t was his missing white
one which the jokers had dyed. The
Major took the joke in good nature
however and waited his time to return it.

Wasn't Afraid Of One.

In the battle of Franklin, now and
then there was a soldier who would not
face the music, but take "leg-bail" for
the rear. These cases were getting too
numerous towards the close of the battle,
and Col. B was sent back to inter-
cept them and return them to their
respective posts of duty.
Col. B hailed one fellow who was
making tracks for some place of safety
with all the energy of despair.
''Halt say, and go back to your
post"
The soldier paid no attention to him.
The colonel now became exasperated,
and yelled out:
If you don't turn and go back to your
command, 1 will shoot you, sir ]"
Without pausing in his flight the
soldier yelled back to him:
''Shoot and be hanged What's one
bullet to basketful?"
Col. B let him go, and after the
battle told the incident as a good joke.
