The meaning of the recent decision of
the United States Supreme Court on the
civil rights case from Alabama, is, that
the law of that State prohibiting, and Sc
verely Furnishing the intermarriage of
the white and colored races, is not in CON
fiict with the 18th Amendment to the
constitution, or with the civil rights leg
islation founded on it, for the reason
that it applies the same punishment to
both'ofiendcrs, white and black, wit bout
discrimination. The decision is OF in.

THE MAID OF THE MIST.
How she Carried Three Persons
Through the whirlpool Rap
ids Alive.

A short sketch of the memorable trip
the only persons who ever went through
the whirlpool rapids and Whirlpool itself
and come out alive will be of interest
The boat that made this trip was built in
1854. For awhile she took passengers from
both the American and Canadian shore.
and ran up very close to the foot of the
falls. Owing to some change in her ap-
pointments, which confined her to the Can
adian shore for reception Of her passengers,
she became Improbable. Her owner,
wishing to leave the place, determined to
sell her, and he received an offer Of little
more than her cost if he would deliver her
at Niagara, opposite the fort. This he
decided to do after consultation with Joel
K. Robinson, who acted as captain and
pilot under the falls. Mr.. Robinson con-
sented to act as pilot for the fearful yoy-
to 60 with him. A machinist, Mr.. Me-
Intyre, volunteered to share the risk with
them. The boat was put i'm complete trim,
all superfluous articles being removed
of the time of starting, and large crowd
assembled to see the fearful plunge, no one
expecting to see either boat Or crew
again after they should leave the dock,
which was just above the railway suspec-
ton bridge. About three O'Clock In the
afternoon of June 18th 1861, the engineer
took his place in the hold, and knowing
that their fitting trip would be short at the
longest, set his steam valves at the proper
gauge and waited the tinkling signal that
should start them on their flying voyage.
Robinson took his place at the wheel and
gave the starting signal. With shrek from
her whistle and white puff from her escape
pipe, the boat ran up the eddy a short dis
tance cleared the smooth water and shot
like an arrow into the rapid under the
bridge. She took the outside curve of the
rapid, and when third of the way down
it jet of water struck against her rudder,
a column dashed up under her starboard
side, keeled her over, carried away
her smoke stack, started her oyerhang on
that side, threw Robinson on his back,
and threw Mcintyre against her starboard
Wheel-house with such force as to break
| it through. Every looker-on breathed
freer as she emerged, shook her wounded
| sides, slid into the whirlpool, and for a
moment rode again Oh all even keel.
Robinson rose at once seized the helm,
set her to the right of the large pot in the
pool, then turned her directly through the
neck of it. Thence, after receiving an
other drenching from the waves, she dash
ed on without further accident to the quiet
bosom of the river below Lewiston. The
boat was seyenty-two feet long, with
seventeen feet breath of the beam. eight
feet depth of hold, and carried an engine
of 100 horse power.

4 Dinner Of Death.

A special cable from Paris says: Last
evening about o'clock the attention of
crowds of promenaders in the Quarter des
Pyramides was attracted by a suicide ac-
complished in a manner very eccentric,
even for a great city like Paris. A gen.
tleman neatly and respectfully dressed en-
tered the restaurant Of John Bull, at the
corner Of the RTE des Pyramdes and the
place Jeanne Arc, aud ordered an elab
crate dinner. He consumed the delica-
cies set before him with evident relish, and
after each dish or glass of wine he iotted
down a few observations in Il note book.
He completed his repast very leisurely
with the satisfaction of a man who had
achieved thoroughly first-rate dinner.
He then called for a glass Of fine cham
pagne and an excellent HAVANA cigar.
He slipped the former and lighted the lat.
ter, and finally told the waiter to bring his
BILL The waiter turned his back, and the
gentleman who had dined SO agreeably re-
moved the cigar from his lips and inserted
in his mouth the muzzle of a revolver.
He fred four bullets through his brain. A
doctor was called and the dead man was
searched. They found absolutely nothing
in his pockets except the note book. On
the first page of this were written in large
bold characters the words, "a Dinner o.
Death, My Last Impressions" Then fol-
lowed critique on each dish, conceived in
/ the style and unity of idea ofa connoiseur.
In the end he expressed regret that he, an
ex-ofiicer Of the French Army, and dec
Grated at that, should die as dlsgraced
man, after having striyen during the war
to fall by Prussian bullet.

Sorry he Had Ever Been Blessed
With Birthday.

While Mr.. Tepnoody was taking break
fast the other morning, he remarked to
his wife:
MY dear, this is my birthday
ssWeu," she answered, ''it isn't your
first one, is it?'
"No, not exactly, but | thought I'D
speak of it anyway, as reminder, If you
had anything to give me commemorative
of the occasion"
II might give you a piece Of my mind,
for making me get up and build the kit
chen fire this morning.
81 don't think want any. You've
given me as much already as you can spare,
I should think"
''Don't get excited, Topnoody. Maybe
you can tell me what you'd like to have
me give you.''
"Well, my dear, can easily do that, :
"You think you can do you?"
II know it, my dear, but | don't know
whether you can give it to me or not"
FsI can if I want to, I reckon"
| don't know about that, you never have
given it to me yet, and the novelty OF the
gift, more than its intrinsic cash value, is
what prompts me to ask it.
"Don't beat around the bush, Topnoody
what is it"
"Well, my dear, would like to have
you give me rest. -
Before Topnoody could get out OF
the house he was sorry he had ever
been blessed with birthday.

Fashionable Ladies Hammering
Brass.

A number of ladies who were studying
the latest fashionable handieraft of BRASS
beating at one OF the private shoots in
Philadelphia have made a new and practi-
cal departure by giving up the theories of
books and boek-learned teachers and pla-
cling themselves as apprentices under a
regular brass-heater in an establishment
where it is carried On as a business. They
had been getting their hammers and ira
cling tools for a long time from a practical
workman, who has been tracing and mod
cling brass for over forty years. In visit
ing the place, getting tools and brass and
block, some of the ladies were struck with
the thorough and practical way things
were done and very soon found out that
the school was, great deal of it, child's
play, and that if they wanted to make
beautiful and lasting work they would
have to take up the methods of the factory.
Accordingly, for nearly year the hercu-
lean and sardonic brass-beater has had un-
der his care class comprising some Of the
best known ladies of Philadelphia, and
has so instructed them in the way of using
and holding their tools, and in the proper
kind of stroke to make upon the steel dies,
that some of them, who have had a good
deal of practice, are enabled to make arti-
cles in repousse brass of which they are
justly proud. The method is very simple
and primitive. A sheet Or plate of brass
is fastened on a block of wood. The de-
sign is drawn upon it and the outline is
hammered by die, which has several dots
in q row. Then there Is Il die that makes
the groundwork have a frosted, mottled
appearance, and other dies that make a
variety of impressions. Everything de-
pends upon the skill of the hands that hold
the tools. Out of piece of brass costing
a few dollars there can be made something
that could not be purchased tor less than
$40 or $50. Card receivers are among the
things most made, and all sorts Of curious
things are made for wedding presents, the
articles deriving special value from be-
ing made by the giyer's hand. The work
develops the muscles, and is one OF the
best means of educating the hands in the
mechanical arts. Ladies have become so
fond of the work that they lay in supplies
of brass and amuse themselves with it
while away at the seaside and other resorts
1t is possible for any girl, with little pa
tience, to make two or three times as
much as she would earn standing in d
store. r..

Mrs. Cheng 1'saso Ju as Seen ON a
Street Car.

Washington society has been trying in
vain to catch a glimpse OF the Chinese
minister's wife, but few ey.. 'ngs since
reporter OF the Post of that city saw her on
a street car with her husband. She is
thus described: ssTo an unaccustomed
eve there is very little difference between
the masculine and feminine attire OF the
Chinese, both being peculiar. But upon
close observation it was seen that Mrs.
Cheng Tsaso JUS feet were beyond all
Christian conception of smaIlness, and that
there was really great difference between
her costume and that Of her companion.
Instead of the >wathe oflinen bound tightly
about the ankles she wore loose panfalets,
coming within an inch Of her shoes, and,
white the skirt Of her frock was similar to
those worn by men, the yoke and sleeves
were made very differently. The yoke
was shirred, after the fashion of the Moth
er Hubbartls, so popular now, and the
sleeves looked more like ideal angel wings
than anything else one could imagine.
The whole costume was made of plain
black or very dark purple Chinese silk.
Her features were delieately cut and re-
fined, but her complexion was quite dark,
though clear. She wore nothing on hel
head excepting her hair, glossy rs
ravens wing, which was drawn back from
her forehead and done up in an elongated
roll at the back finer head, where it Was
pinned with large oblong pin Of turquoise
levels. The two had but little to say Z
each other. a few short sentences, ap'
parently questions and answers, comprised
their conversation; but the lady seemed

THE GREAT SOUTHERN EXPO
SITION.

Everybody halts before the pretty
Swiss chalet which occupies place
in one of the long, broad aisles of
the main buildings. 1t is in true
Swiss style, with wide latticed case
ments, such as one finds sometimes
in the French quarter of New Orleans,
with outside staircases, pretty balco-
nies and far projecting caves, always
suggestive of a good shelter on a
rainy day. The building is of peeled
logs chinked with MOSES where we
are accustomed to see mud. The
bright-eyed Swiss peasant girls in
their quaint dress of their native land
add greatly to the attraction and if,
as it is said, they are only fair repre-
sentatives of the Swiss colony in
Kentucky, there is danger that girls
will soon be hard to find there, for
the modest grace as well as the pretty
faces of those in charge of the chalet
have won hearts and moved many to
inquire the road to the colony.
THE MUSIC.
Forty thousand dollars is the
amount which the committee has ex-
pended for music. During the first
few weeks the famous Seventh Regi-
ment Band from New York, was
present every afternoon and evening,
discoursing very fine music. Follow
ing them came Gilmore with his band
and to hear them is worth a long
journey, if any one loves music.
Away back in rs / heard his band
in San Francisco and down through
all the years have come strains of
melody which have never lost their
hold on my memory. But such mu
sic must be heard when the surround
ings are congenial. Have you never
told the funniest story you knew to
persons who listened without so much
as muscle of the face quivering in
appreciation? Some have no fun in
their composition Others no love of
music, many.I am forced to say, no
regard for the simple proprieties of
life. Few people would so far forget
themselves as to carry on converse
