Grant Visits Fitz John Porter.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Genersl
Grant walked into Wizards Hotel
about five o'clock this evening, in
company with .anOther gentleman
and leaning over the counter ask
ed a question OF two of the clerk,
Mr.. Gilletti. He was quickly re-
cognized and for fifteen or twenty
minutes had quite a reception,
which ended in Tom Murphy ta-
king him by the arm and accom-
panying him in a call upon Fitz
John Porter, who has rooms at
Wizards. Grant looks well, but
his clothes are vastly discordant.
His overcoat looked as if it had
passed through tho battles of the
Wilderness. while his pants were
so tight that not even a shoe-but-
ton could have got them over his
CATERS, and he walked across the
floor of the office at Wizards
with the shank end of his trouser
leg two or three inches above the
point where CATERS end and socks
begin. But he is in very fine health
and one can easily conceive that
he has vigor enough left to lead

Important Decision bY the United
States Supreme Court.
ku Kluxing Declared Lawful.

Washington, January 22.-A de-
cision was rendered by Supreme
Court of the United States to-day
IN the important constitutional
ease of the United States against
Il. G. Harris ct al, brought here
on a certificate of difference of
opinion among the Judges of the
United States Circuit Court for
the Western District of Tennessee.
The particular question presented
here is tho constitutionality of
section 55l9 of Revised Statutes.
The section is as follows: "If two
or more persons in any State or
Territory conspire or go in dis
guise on the highway, or on the
premises of another, for the pur-
pose of depriviug, either directly
or indirectly, any person or class
of persons of the equal protection
of the laws, or of equal privileges
and immunities under the laws, or
for the purpose of preventing or
hindcring the constituted authori-
ties of any State or Territory from
giving or securing all persons
within such State or Territory
equal protection of the laws, each
of such persons shall be punished
by fine of not less than $500 nor
more than $4,000, or by imprison-
ment with or without hard labor
not less than six months nor more
than six years, or by both such
fine eandimprisonment,n The Court
holds, in an elaborate opinion by
Justice Woods, that this section
is not supported by authority of
the Federal Constitution, and that
its enactment was beyond the
powers of Congress.

The London Spectator, of De-
cember 3, reprints with a running
commentary, report on the con-
dition of the American navy and
ordinance, presented to the House
by Mr.. Harris, of Massachusetts,,
chairman of the committee on ma
val affairs, and closed with the fol
lowing which Is enough to make
the American eagle scream:
"The Americans have an old joke
that, under certain circum stances,
they would come over here and
tow the British Isles up the Miss
issippi. To this jocular bit of brag
we oppose the statement, in sober
earnest, that England could dis
patch a single one of tho large
iron clads across tho Atlantic and
dictate any terms she pleased; and
not only could a great naval power
like England do this, but any little
country of the world that chose
to fit out man-of.war of the mod.
ern type, would have the Uuited
States at its mercy. Paritur pax
bello, doctrine with which we
Europeans are SO familiar, is one
which either Americans have not
understood, or do not believe.n

Color Line In Washington Schools.

The mandamus. proceeding in
stituted in the District Supreme
Court against the School Board of
this district by James NJ. Gregory,
a colored citizen, to compel men,
bers of the Board to show cause
why Eugene M. Gregory, o color
ed youth and son of the complain
ant should not be allowed 10 attend
the Prescott free school has been
renewed by the attorney of Mr..
Gregory, the application having
been before dismissed on techni-
cal grounds. This case is an out
growth of the drawing of the col
or line in the public schools.
Gen. Birney, president Of the
School Board has requested of
the District Commissioners that
the District Attorney be instruct
ed to resist the proceedings Of Mr..
Gregory. The Prescott School is
one of the regular public schools
of the District, supported in whole
or in part, by Congressional APP
priation. Much interest is mani.
tested in the result of this case, as
there is great prejudice among
white pupils and their parents
against the children of colored
citizens and the School Board has
once felt compelled to yield to this
prejudice upon considerations OF
expediency, and to order that sep
crate schools be maintained for
the youth of the two races. The
msndamus proceedings is based
upon constitutional grounds, and
by it Mr.. Gregory seeks to obtain
from the District judiciary de-
claration of the status in the Dis
trict Of Columbia, of the colored
race as defined in the constitu-
tional amendment, and the legisla-
tion of Congress in pursuance of
the amendment bearing upon the
subject. aH'
The attorneys for the applicant
are ex-Congressmen Samuel Shell
labarger and Jeremiah Wilson and
MIR. JEFF Chandler. A rule has
issued against the members of the
School Board returnable on Sat
urday next.-New York Herald.

A Dog With Two Tails.

VIM. Mccarthy, who lives a few
miles from Soda Springs, Col, re-
ceived as a present II few days ago
a dog whose peculiarities are moro
marked than those of the ordinary
canine, which is attracting no lit.
tie attention. The dogs tail is
double, both parts reaching to the
spinal column, and both attached
to it by some natural movable
joint. They are entirely discon.
nected from each other, and there
is no power of moving both the
Same time, except that of shifting
the base from right to left and
vice versa. This does not appear
to be voluntary, but is occasioned
by the feelings of the dog. Whom

tho back bone the dog has no pow.
er of moving the tail on the left
side, or left branch Of tho tail
whicheveritmay be and when the
left side is in the same position
there is no power of motion on the
right side. This remarkable freak
of nature is heightened in its sim
gularity by the sympathy, if such
1t may be called, which exists be-
tween the seperate divisions of the
dogs tail and the sensation which
exists in the brain. The right side
seems to have . monopoly of oil
feelings Of pleasure. Whenever
tho animal is pleased the right
tail is switched on, and wags gayly
in expression of happiness. While
in this condition, a harsh word
from its master, or anything else
which causes him sorrow, effects 9
most wonderful transformation.
The right tail is showed aside by
the left side tail, which assumes
the commanding position and a,
once drops between his legs.

How to Dress for Photographs.

APPOINT of interest is thus touch
ed upon by the New York Sun !:
"The question is often askedn
said an experienced photographer,
why-actors and actresses take
the most pleasing pictures. 1t is
because they study the principles
of art and good lasts in their pro-
fession and understand how to
dress. Moreover, they usually
bring selection of wells, flowers,
curls, braids, laces and sometimes
costumes to give the photograph
er choice of accessories. They
come when they are wholly at
leisure and are not tiustered. A
red face takes black, and they
know it. Then they do not load
themselves down with gewgaws
and haberdasheries, to show all
that they have got in worldly
goods. Few persons know how to
dress for picture like an actress.
The best materials for ladies to
wear when about to sit for a pict-
ure are such as will fold or drape
nicely, like reps, winceys, poplins,
satins and silks. Lavender, lilac
sky blue, purple and French blue
take very light and are worse for
a picture than pure white. Corn
color and salmon are better. China
pink, rose pink, magenta, crimson,
pea green, buff, plum color and
dark purple, pure yellow, Mazarine
navy blue, lawn color, Quaker
color, dove color, ashes of roses
and stone color show a pretty
light gray in the photograph.
Scarlet, claret, garnet, sea green,
light orange, leather color, light
Bismarck and slate color take still
darker and are excellent colors to
photograph. Cherry, wine color,
light apple green, dark apple green
bottle green, Metternich green,
dark orange, golden and red brown
show nearly the same agreeable
color in the picture. A black silk
always looks well and it takes well
if not bedecked with ribbons and
laces that will take white. Dark
Bismarck and snuff brown usually
take blacker than a black silk or
satin and are not so easy to drape.
A silk usually takes lighter than q
WOODEN dress. Ladies with dark
or brown hair should avoid con-
trasts in their costumes, as light
substances photograph far more
quickly than dark, aud ladies with
light hair should dress in some
thing lighter than those whose
hair is dark or brown. Few ladies
understand how to arrange their
hair SO as to harmonize with the
form of the head, but blindly fol-
low the fashion, BIO the neck long
or short or the. face narrow or
broad. A broad face appears
more so if the hair is arranged low
over the forehead or is parted at
the side, and long neck becomes
stork like when the sshair is built
up high, while few curls would
make a most agreeable change in
the effect. Powdered hair gives
good effect, and powder should be
bestowed upon freckles."

The Courts Mistake.
IPeck's Sun.l

OOt- ~ '(N-@"I
Judge Davis used to tell some
admirable stories of an old Illi-
nois Judge, one which we chance
particularly to remember. One of
the judges was rather remarkable
for conveying to jurors in his
charge to them his own opinions
with regard to the merits of the
case. In one case he had done so
with great plainness, but to his
amazemcnt the jury hung ont for
hours without coming to an agree
ment. The Judge inquired of the
bailiff what was the matter, and
learned from him that one juror
was hanging out against the other
eleven. He sent for the jury at
once, and stating to the jurors
that he had plainly intimated how
the case ought to be decided, said
he understood onejuror was stand
ing out against the other eleven,
proceeded to rebuke the Juror
sharply. The obstinate juror was
a nervous little man, and as soon
as the judge was done he rose and
said:
Judge, may say a word 7"
Z" "Yes, sir,' said the indignant
judge, what have you to sayp
swell, what I wanted to say is,
| am the only feller that'se on your
side."

The Noxubee County pigeon

one in this part of the country, is
located, as we learn from the Bea-
con, in the Noxubee hills, about
sixteen miles from the southwest
corner of the county. Describing
it the Beacon says:
1t embraces an area of about
forty acres, in low, marshy basin
surrounded by precipitous hills.
One FORK of Hushuqua Greek runs
through it OF rather spreads over
it, covering most of tho surface
from one to five feet deep. There
are all over it a thick growth of
cane, vines, briars, bushes and
saplings, which with quick sands,
muck and water constitute it an
absolutely impenetrable morass.
1t is wonderful instinct that
prompted these birds to select
this, the most secure and safest
of all places in this whole region
of country, for their lodging house.
