Women's Husbands.

Marriage goes, to a certain extent by
contrasts, if not by contraries. A woman,
still less than man, gets the husband she
paints to her fancy. Her connubial ideas
are commonly regulated by her age and
experience. The man she desires at sixteen
or seventeen would be burden at twenty,
and her ideal at twenty might prove a bore
at twenty-five. She begins with sentimen-
talism and ends with soberness; vanity
impels her first, but sympathy holds her
last She is frequently Surprised at the
offers she receives, and still more
surprised at the offers she does not receive.
The love that comes at first sight rarely
remains; it is apt to be born of the eye. not
of the temperament. The love that grows
generally endgres and produces fruit Love
and marriage are not related as we think
they should be. Love matches often turn
out i'll, and matches without love turn out
well. No one can tell what love is; nor can
any one guess what marriage will bring.
We are all, when young, full of thoughts
and theories about both, and individual
experience il ever contradicting what we
have learned. Marriage Is as impenetra-
bic rs love. Few of Us are prepared for
their disclosures. We may love and marry
again and again but our ideal Of love or
marriage il almost always wholly unlike
the thing itself.-N. Y. Times.

ALA. GREAT So. r. Il. Co.
Appeal from the Circuit Court of Lauder
dale County, Hon. J. ;. Hamm, Judge.
Jackson brought suit in the court below
against the Alabama Great Southern r. R.
Co. The defendant filed a petition to have
the cause removed to the circuit court Of
the United States for the Southern District
of Mississippi, end gave bond as required by
the United States statutes. The court hav-
ing approved the bond, entered an order of
removal, and refused to proceed any further
in the case. The plaintiff excepted, and
appealed. 1t was insisted that the cause
had not been properly removed.
CAMPBELL, J.
Held
1. If the circuit court of the United
States shall refuse to take c0gnizance of the
cause, as having been improperly removed,
it will be a pending cause in the circuit
court of Lauderdale County, and will be
proceeded with as if no effort for removal
had taken place.
>. The State court must decide in the
first instance upon the application to re-
move 4 cause so rs to determine whether it
will proceed no further in it and should not
pause in it, except when satisfied the APP
piication to remove brings it within the act
OF congress on the subject.
3. The right to remove cases from the
state courts is given by statutes of the
United States. The construction of these
Statutes is the province of the courts of the
United States, which when authoritativey
made should be accepted by the courts of
the States, as the construction of the courts
of the State of its statutes are to be accep-
ted rs authoritative by the courts of the
United States.
4. The determination of the Circuit Court
of Lauderdale County not to proceed fur
ther in the cause is not fHdt Judgment
/ from which an appeal lies to this Court.
/ 1t is a mere pause, on ground held sufficient
by the Circuit court of Lauderdale County,
but which may at any time be determined
1 by tribunal over which neither the Cir
cult Court of Lauderdale County nor this
court have any control, in which event it
will be the duty of said Circuit Court to
proceed to final judgment of the cause. 1t
+ is suspension of proceedings which may
+ be final or temporary as the federal question
. involved may be disposed of by the federal
/ judiciary. whose province is to decide and
act on it. Appeal dismissed.
