Democrats are the exception instead Of the
rule in Vermont, and it is unusual to see more
than two or three gathered together. Widow
has buried three husbands, all prOmi-
nent democrats. At the funeral of the last,
many of the "unterrfed" were IN attendance,
and as they were leaving the house, gentle
man remarked in an undertone, This looks
like Democratic State Convention" The
widow Is soon to marry fourth husband, who
is also a noted democrat, and as the matter was
being discussed recently Jim -, who Is

History repeats itself. when Commodore
Vanderbilt wished to start IN the steamboat
business" says Cornelius Vanderbilt, "he had
but $4,000 of the $4,000 necessary for the
purchase and his wife went to a corner where
she had concealed the $4,000 she had saved
without his knowledge, and brought forth the
needed funds, thus laying the foundation OF
the Vanderbilt fortune" Not long ago Chi
cago woman wanted to start spring bonnet,
but had only ST. Her husband went to a
corner in wheat where he had concealed $l0,-
OOO and took out $l2, which he gave to his
wife, thus establishing bonnet which was

IA MODEL JUsTICE.--A man who had been
cruel to horse was convicted in Little Shasta,
California. The jury fixed the fine at one dol
lar, and the justice followed with speech.
"This man has been tried four times, gentle
men of the jury" he said, YOU'RE the first
twelve that's had sense enough to find him
guilty. But what under heavens didyou make
jackasses of yourselves for by putting the fine
at one dollar after you'd done an average de-

self. It'll be sixty dollars"

Not one hundred miles below Nash
wills is curious spectacle known as the
s'Sun and Moon" 1t CONSISTS OF a
painting upon an immense rock which
rises to an altitude of several hundred
feet. As to who painted it, is mystery
which we believe has never been un-
raveled. Many thiak it was the work
of the red brother, perhaps centuries
ago. But there the sun and moon shine
out in all the freshness OF new paint.
They are located midway of the cliff
and stand out in bold relief. AS to
how any human being ever reached the
spot is a question that has never been
solved. 1t is supposed that in those
days they had no giant ladders and
could not have easily reached the point
from below The only natural rope at
that time was wild grape vine, OF
which Tennessee is so prolific, and an
Indian might have been by this means
let down over the dizzy bluff, and
when he had finished his work had
again been let down or pulled up. At
any rate, these pictures are there on
the everlasting rock and are likely to
remain for future ages. Cincinnati

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Mr.
Randolph's argument in the Sen
ate to-day on the opening Of the
Fits John Porter debate will be re.
membercd MS one of the most in.
tcresting events of the session
His transcript lay on desk be-
fore him, but during speech Of
nearly two hours lie rarely referred
to it. His manner was quiet but
earnest, but at times, und& the
spur of incredulous or dissenting
looks, he cut loose from his text
and became fairly eloquent. The
galleries we're full all tho time he
was speaking, and among the out
siders on the floor were Generals
Sherman, Garfield, Arson, G
McCook, Joseph Z. Johnson, and
Charles Z. Hooker. MeS.rs Burn
side and Logan occupied chairs or
the Democratic side near Mr.. Ran
dolph, and were close listeners
throughout the argument. 1t wa:
matter of general comment thai
the argument was n remarkably
strong and effective presentation o
the case. Mr.. Logan will speaA
against the bill tomorrow.

4 Foman Uho Married Three
UipSS.

Australia is greatly excited over
n woman who has for many years
passed herself of as q man, and
who has married wives. In 1857
q girl bearing the name Of Ellen
Tremaync came to Melbourne in
the Ocean Monarch. On her ar
rival she assumed herself tho name
of Edward De Lacy Evans, and
married Il fellow passenger Of the
name of Dairy D. MalNncey. Mary
having died, she married Sarah
Moore, and on the death of Sarah
she married July Maynard. Julia
is still alive, but Miss Edward De
Lacy Evans having gone mad has
becn confined in the Kew lunatic
asylum, where lis or her sox was
discovered, owing to each inmate
being forced to take bath. The
curious circumstances connected
with this case is that not ono
Of his wives revealed the imposi.
ton that had been practiced upon
her, nor did the miners who work
ed with Miss Edward for above
twenty years ever suspect that
she was a woman.

The JVr1iniu Decisions.

The Virginia press discuss the
decisions Of the Supreme Court
with much warmth. The Common
reohh closes a review of tho decis'
ion in the Virginia cases US fol
lows:
at is these two Virginia cases
which cut all State rights up by the
roots, and make the Government
Of the entire country one central
Government. The Coles case al.
firms the right of Congress to
provide for Furnishing any State
officer in the United States Court
for anything that it picascs. All
that Congress has to do is to pass
a law providing that unless the
Legislature of Virginia enact n law
to pay off our entire debt i'll one
year, and unless the Governor APP
prove such n law, they shal! be
locked up, neck and heels, in the
4.uilIatlarv, and in they 90. All
it has got to do is 10 provide that
the negroes in the Southern States
may murder and raviSh white men
and women, and they shall not be
tried by our State Courts and in.
,cIIigcnt, upright jurors, but shall
I've tried in the United States Courts
before the Undcrwoods of the coun-
Try and negro juries.
"All further talk about the rights
of States, so long us these con
<tructions Of the amendments re-
main, is simply twaddle. If they
have done nothing else, they have
presented To the country the issue,
Shall this government he IN EN-
pirO with its seat at Washington,
or shnll it remain Il Federal gov
ornmont Of Statcs?'"
The NiYasch, while not much
surprised at the decision Of the
court declaring tho West Virginia
statute unconstitutional, nor that
Judge nivcs was ordered to remand
the negro criminals to the State
court, 10 be tried, yet strikes at the
root oi' the matter in saying: "Bul
we are surprised that tie Supreme
Court of the United States should
have decided that q State judge
may lie indicted and tried in q
Federal Court for not performing a
ministerial duty imposed upon him
hy State law in compliance with
the requirements Of the Federal
Constitution! This is new and
startling doctrine surely

over, fifty years old. He has a son
twenty!four years old. Mrs. Sny-
der was a widow, forty-two years
old. She has daughter twenty
one years old. Mr.. Smith, the
elder, married Mrs. Snyder's
daughter. Mr.. Smiths son mar
ried old Mrs. Snyder Worcester
&py;
Thus the son becomes the father.
in-law of his father; the father.
son-in-lnw Of his son; the mother,
daughter-in-law of lOr daughter.
and the daughter, mothcr-in-law Of
her mother. 4 step.brother be.
comes both father-in-law and also
stop-tather Of his sister-in-law. and
Il step-siStcr becomes both step,
mother and mother-in-law of her
step-brother. A father becomes
the brothcr-in-law Of his son, and
the mother sistcr-in-law of hcl
daughter.
Now suppose both Gets of par
cntS have children, the son ard
mother a son, and the father and
daughter Il daughter. Then the
mother becomes gran1mothrr Of
her own son, and the father his
grandfather. His grandfather m-
comes his uncle, and his aunt his
great aunt. The daughter becom, g
grandmother Of her daughter, ant
the daughters grandfather is her
father. The daughters grand.
mother is her aunt, and her grand
father her uncle. As the son is
brother of his grandfather, he i,
also uncle of his father and his
grandmother. Being his grand
mothers uncle, he must be his
own grandfather, or ut least his
own great great uncle. He is also
uncle TO his cousin, and hence his
own brother.
