have been suggested as to the constitution
ality Of the law providing for an assignment
TO. the State of claims against any of the
United States, and adding: ''The State of
New Hampshire, some time prior to The pas
sage of the New York statute, passed an act
very similar to our own. Under this New
Hampshire statute bonds heidi by citizen of
that State were duly assigned to the State
of New Hampshire, and suit in equity was
brought in the name Of that State in the
Supreme Court Of the United States against
the State Of Louisiana, which is still pend
ing. 1t was expected that this case would
have hearing on the bill and answer in
January last. Whether this has been done
am not advised, The decision of the Su-
preme Court in that case will undoubtedly
settle the constitutional question involved
in our statute, and whether the actions pro-
vided for therein can be successfully MAIN

cratic candidate in the strongest Democratic
ward in Portland. Thirteen Republican
councilmen are chosen, and but two Demo
cratic. Six vacancies in that board are to
be filled. The net result is Republican
Mayor and a decisive Republican majority
in the City Council.
Mayor Senter's plurality is over six hun
dred and his majority over five hundred.
The vote is larger than was anticipated, and
the majority greater than Republicans gen.
orally expected. Little interest was mani
tested. Citizens We're satisfied with the pres
ent administration, and had no mind to do

sity of opinion concerning the choice of

subject. ''Delirium tremens! Snakes

A KISS ON THE SLY.
PHILADELPHIA Ti1nes.

There IS to be found much refresh
ment in well proportional kiss Thi.
much everybody acknowledges, though
only a frank few have the courage tc
acknowledge it openly. And it is a
curious FACT as yet unexplained by the
| philosopher, that the slyer the kiss is the
more there is in it of refreshment
! A kiss that is paid as a forfeit before a
"hole room full of people is prosaic not
not to say embarrassing. The girl laughs,
which spoils the romance, and the follow,
ten to one, bushes. Neither of them
think much of it, and they both are apt
pretty soon to forget all about it.
But let the same fellow kiss the same
glrl when nobody is looking and the
situation is as different as possible. That
sort of kiss fired off in a hurry behind a
door or IN a conservatory, is like an cleo
tric shock and is as sweet as whipped
cream. The taste of it sort of holds on
and constantly suggests the propriety-or
improperly, as the case may be-of trying
II again. And the laughing and blushing
are exactly reversed. The fellow laughs.
without spelling the romance a bit, and
the girl bushes like pink carnation.
It is queer that the very same thing
should, under such slightly altered circum2
stances, be SO entirely different, nor is it
any the less queer because the difference
has existed from the earliest ages of the
world.
Kissing on the sly was the rule among
the prehistoric races, just as il is the rule
now, This proposition is demonstrable
by comparative proof. That eminent
French savant, NJ. Ellie Bcrthet, has shown
that all the peculiarities of primitive man
are represented in the savage races extent
to-day.
In his exhaustive work upon the s'Ab-
original Races of America" Dr. Bancroft
indirectly affirms that kissing on the sly
IS the rule and the converse is the excep-
ton among our barbarous brethren; and
the same is true of those scientifically in
teresting people. the Australian Maories.
From these facts we may reasonably infer
that our remote ancestors, the troglodytes,
did their sparkling in much the same way
that sparkling is done nowadays-unob-
trusively, and with good deal of quiet
satisfaction. And it is doing them moth
ing more than justice to add that their
heads were what is vulgarily termed
''ieyel"

AFTER MANY DAYS.

A remarkable romance is related by a
Morehead City On. CO correspondent.
About fifty years ago q progressing
young woman appeared suddenly in &
small mountain village near Asheville and
obtained work in farmers family. She
called herself Mary Burt, but gave no
further clue to her origin. Her tasks were
so skilfully performed and she could sing
a song, dance a reel, and tell story so
well that she became a village favorite.
Fifteen years later the mystery surround
ing her was gorgotten. Having declined
more than one good offer of marriage, she
settled down as a good-natured old maid,
became the benefcent "aunt" of the neigh
borhood, and finally was persuadedto take
charge Of a country school near by.
After several years of teaching her
whole character seemed to change. She
became moody, melancholy and fond of
solitude Purchasing a lovely and lonely
spot among the mountains. she had rude
log hut built, and there she
lived without any companionship but
that of her dog, cat, COW and chickens.
Her only book was the Bible, and this she
nearly learned by heart The publication
of this woman hermit's story in the Ashe-
vile Citizen not long ago brought solu-
ton of the mystery. The article was cop
Ic1 IutO NSIIIOHG i'dpC4 etl4O 0tbAotCVSU
the notice of Robert Fletcher, a prominent
citizen of that state, and Fletcher soon af-
ter visited Asheville, sought the editor of
the Citizen, and together they went to Miss
Burt's house. The hermit did not recog
nize the Vermonter, but she soon learned
that he was her old lover.
A mistake had kept them apart for half
q century, but when fletcher left Asheville
few days later, Mary Burt Howe, for
that was the hermit's full name, accom-
panied him as his wife. When Miss Howe
and Fletcher were young they were en-
gagged to be married. The young woman
fancied her lover was attached to annother
girl, and suddenly left her home in Maine.
Going to Boston, she shipped as steward
ess on a ship bound for Liverpool. The
vessel was wrecked on the North Carolina
coast and after many adventures at sea in
an open boat and among friendly Indians
on land, Miss Howe found her way to civ
ilization Robert Fletcher traced his run
away sweetheart to the ship on which she
sailed, and hearing of the loss of the YES
sci, always mourned her as dead till the
North Carolina paper gave him a happy
surprise.

Upon the waters blue,
When suddenly the rail gave way.
And she went tumbling through.

O help her life to save.

She'd find watery grave.
They fished her out and brought her up,

So glad he seemed to be.
