How cAN a woMAH - !

He told me his love this morning.
With his dear hand clasped IN mine,
And he said, God speed the dawning
When, darling, l Il call the mine.
But my fond heart questioned softly,
Though loving him true and we'll,
Will his love outlast all changes
Ali how can a woman tell
When the years shall bring their trials.
And the cares and pants outweigh
The Joys in the little household,
As clouds might obscure the day
Will the hand that has held me fondiy,
When maidenly ills befcll,
As earnestly shield from sorrow
All how can woman tellf
When the silver threads are creeping
Through my tresses one by one;
When / lose my youth and beauty,
As many a wife has done;
Will his heart be mine as truly
As when in the iowery dell
He gave me his trusted promise9
All how can woman tell2

His eyes they are clear and true;

will keep him with loves magic
This much may woman tell!

MENDING.
A Good Lesson in Darning for Children.
A Useful Accomplishment.

Teach children to darn bit of coarse
canvas with bright-colored wool Darn
ing is taught in the Swiss and German
schools to such a perfection that the lit
tie cut out squares from linen d'oyley
(more difficult to make smooth on ac-
count of its raveling) are equal to an en-
broidery. The canvas on which they
should learn to darn ought to be moder-
ate squares of plain canvas. Teach
them to cut them straight by thread,
and then to hem them all around with
eolored silk. Overcasting the edge is
not sufficient Then, with different col
ored single Berlin wool, teach them to
thread their own needles, and then to
darn by taking up one thread and leav
ing the next to make the rows even by
teaching them to make the first, third,
fifth, seventh and all the uneven rows
eighth, and all the even rows the same.
This is done by beginning either above
or below the last stitch In the first row,
and stopping short of one stitch at the
other end, or going one stitch beyond,
just as you may have begun from the
bottom, and then they should count
each row before they begin another. Do
not let the darns exceed eight to ten
stitches, and, when they get on little,
teach them to cross or darn with anoth-
er colored thread, and to choose a good
contrast. Show them that, if they have
done the first part of the darn properly,
it is all ready for them to cross by tax
ing up the piece of wool that lies over
the missed stitch Teach them to leave
loops and 10 make them exactly even,
which they must learn to find out by
putting the needle through all the loops
when the darn is finished, and to COM
pare notes which child can show the
most even loops. Do not read 70 young
children while they are learning 10 sew
talk to them.

a little acheish like; what do you think

| Says he, ''Friend s., the best thing
you can do is to go straight home, and
soak your feet and take a sweat, cause
if you don't you might have a fever"
Says |, doctor, l was just thinking
a sweat would do me good, and now

sweat like beaver it's no matter The
next morning my head was as clear as

Well, day or two afterward l met
the doctor, and says he:

looked at him, and says I.
"a bill?' and says he
Eyes, bill for advice, you know, at
Simpkin's shop, the other day"
What do you think he charged? why,
one dollar for telling me to go home and
take a sweat
''Wel, DOCTOR" says | (because

''it's all right, and I'll bear it in mind.
Well, few days after, the doctor was
passing by my door in his chaise, and
somehow or other one of the wheels got
little loose; so, says l.
Doctor; if you don't drive that
lynchpin in an inch the wheel might
come off.
Says he:

pin.
Well, L went home into the house
and just made charge of it. When

bill.
Halo! what on earth is this?" said
he.
"Why, that's for advice"
"Advice for what ?" says he.
"Why, for driving in your wheel pin,

"Wel," says he, "the difference be-
tween your bill and mine is just twenty
five cents"
"That's all you owe me-" says 1.

1HE STATE
Error to the Circuit Court of Issaquena
County, Hon. B. F. Trimble, Judge.
The opinion is given in full
GEORGE, j.
The plaintiff in error was indicted for the
murder of Calhoun Peterson, and convict
ed and sentenced to Imprisonment in the
penitentiary for life.
On the trial the dying declarations of the
deceased were introduced in evidence
against the prisoner. These declarations
were reduced to writing and sworn to by
the deceased. The paper offered in evidence
was not the original, but was proven to be
true copy. The copy was made under the
belief that the original was of no value
because written with pencil. After the
copy was made, the original was not taken
care Of, and was lost. Under the circum-
stances, there was no legal objection 60 the
copy as a substitute for the original
But there was error in admitting the
whole of the writing. That part which
stated, that about two weeks before the
killing the prisoner threatened the deceased
was incompetent Dying declarations are
intrinsically weak, being the statements of
party who is unsworn and not subject to
cross examination. They are admitted on
the ground of ''an overriding public neces-
sity for preserving the lives of the com
munIty, by bringing manslayers to justice"
Lanabeths case, l Cush. p. $50.
They are only admitted con trials for
homicide when the death of the deceased is
the subject of the charge, and the circum-
stances of the death are the subject of the
dying declarations" Lanlbeth's case, supra,
p. 354. That they should be confined to the
res gestae of the killing seems to be well
settled, not only by the above quotation,
but decisions of other courts. State "

LIFE IN DEATH.

To flourish ever young,
The Poets song has sung,
Is Life's most precious dover.
Wouldst thou try its truth,
Thou must die in youth,
Perish in thy fowe-;
Fresh and blooming go
To thy rest below,
From Fortunes icy shower
Sheltered in the grave,
Where no pillows rave,
Where no tempests lower.
So lives in me to-day
One long passed away,
In her beauty's pride;
Yet doth she endure,
Floating there secure,
On Times devouring tide;
NV aged blood is chill,
Her young splendors still
Quick and warm abide;
She is fairer far
Than breathing beauties are;
Whom through years of care,
In my heart hide,
With the myrtle wreath upon her shining
hair,
That crowns q cofhned Bride.

A New Way of Treating the Insane.
From the DEMOCRAT and Chronicle

The Scotch asylums are the most perfect.
They are rows Of cottages instead of great
stone PRISONS. All forms of restraint are
totally abolished The inmates are en-
pIoyed and amused as if they were rational
beings, and in visiting them it is hard to
realize that one is in an insane asylum.
No windows are barred or doors locked.
Patients are free from all visible restraint,
but are watched closely by attendants,
and only few escapes are reported. The
result of such system are so encouraging
that il is difficult to see why it is not intro
duced into this country

INSURANCE COMPANY,

INSURANCE COMPANY, No 2a47
EDWARD WALLEIN, ADMIR-.
Error to the Circuit Court of Warrel
County, Hon. Upton NJ. Young, Judge.
Defendant in error recovered judgment in
the court below. The opinion states the
case and is given in full.
CHALMERS, G.. J.
Plaintiffs intestate, in his life time a citi
zen of Vicksburg, insured his life in the
Piedmont Il Arlington Life Insurance Com
pany, through an agent of said Company re
siding and doing business in the city of New
Orleans.
The Insurance Company is a foreign cor
poration, chartered by and having its prin-
cipal place of business in the State of Vir
GINA. Previous to the issuance of the policy
sued on, the corporation had appointed Its
local agents in this State and complied with
all the requirements Of our statute with re-
gard to foreign insurance companies desiring
to do business here, including the deposit
with the State Treasurer of the necessary Sc
curities for the indemniiication of its policy
holders.
The object of this suit is by garnishment
of the State Treasurer TO reach these securi-
ties and subject them to the payment of the
policy taken out in New Orleans. We do
ifest object of Article s, Chapter 80, of Re
vised Code oflS71 seems to be to organize
a scheme by which foreign insurance com
panies seeking TO do business in this State
shall appoint their local agents here in the
mode prescribed by the statute and protect
the policies issued to citizens by these
agents by making with the State Treasurer
a deposit of securities to meet the losses on
such policies. 1t thus makes them quasi
home companies as to the business done
here, and it is this business and those of our
citizens availing themselves of the scheme
devised who are protected by the deposit.
If citizen of this State, passing by this
provision organized for his benefit, chooses
to go elsewhere and effect his insurance, he
must be considered as electing to look
rather to the general assets of the company
than to the special fund held here for the
benefit of the home business. Section 1880
of the Code of 1880, in plain terms, declares
that the securities deposited shall be applied
to call losses incurred on any policy issued
by said company in this State to any of its
citizens" This we think only makes plain
what was less clearly expressed IN the
Code of 1871.
Reversed and attachment quashed.

A Bit of Romance in Colorado.

The brigand style of some of the
mountaineers is very attractive to the
fancy of some of the young ladies of the
Eastern States, who are touring it
through Colorado or are visiting there.
One bright and pretty girl from the
East fell violently in love with one of
these rovers, and to gain favor in his
eyes, and seem little nearer his ideas,
she purchased fine broncho, scarlet
saddle cloth, and over her handsome
dark green, gold-buttoned habit she
wore a gold-mounted leather belt, to
which was attached a sheathed knife
with guarded hilt. In the band of her
Derby hat she wore lighter knife that
glistened when she rode. Attired in
this brigandish habit she was happy,
and openly expressed her admiration
and love for this noted desperate.
''He could and would protect woman's
honor with his very life," she isped to
the staunch fellow who corralled her
tired bronchos. eyes, and kill her,
too, when she was in his way or vexed
him, and that is what he has done
more than once, as we all know, but we
cannot prove it. He'll be lucky if he
don't find himself made into tassel by
Mr.. Lynch some bright midnight.
The poor girl cried little, then laid
off her belt and knives, and with a deep
sigh awoke from her bright dreams.

INTER-OCEANIC CANAL.
Engineer MenOcaPs Choice Of
ROufoS

Washington, 20.-The committee on
inter-oceanic canal had before it, this
morning, A. G. Menocal, United States
navy, one Of the civil engineers formerly
engaged in making surveys Of the 18TH
mus, and heard his statement as to the
relative advantages and Disadvantages of
the Panama and Nicaragua routes. He
strongly favored the Nicaragua route as
being eco miles shorter than the Panama
one, as between New York and San
Francisco, and because of the greater
salubrity Of its climate, the better supply
of building material, and the relative
cheapness of construction. He ex-
pressed the conviction that the
cost of the Nicaragua canal would
not exceed $40. 10000, while that of a
sea level canal at Panama would not be
less than S40O,000,0OO. The latter he re-
garded as commercially impracticable.
He admitted that passage by Nicaragua
would consume more time on account of
its greater length and the large number
of locks, and that the annual expense of
maintaining it would be twice as great,
but he thought that these objections were
more than set off by its relative cheap
ness. He was asked by Hutehins whether
he had read the recent reports of Dierck's
opinions as to the feasibility Of the Pa
mama Canal. He said he had and thought
him very able man; he stood at the
head of his profession, but he thought he
did not know enough of the American
isthmus 20 form an opinion as TO the
choice between rival routes. He said
that various surveys made by our govern
ment of the Panama route were made to
ascertain which isthmus route was the
best.
