A BIRTHDAY.

How strange the magic of this golden day!
From dawn to eve the calm autUmnal air
Has brooded, like the shadow of a prayer,
Above the hushed waves of the tranquil bay;
Through the clear dusk now shines with steadfast
ray
One peaceful star, in lonely beauty, where
Slow. step by step, down Twilight's sombre stair
The sun has passed upon his westward way.
Even so, dear heart, your face has shone for me
Since, on this day, in Gods good time, you came
My guide, guerdon and my goal TO be;
And even so your loves pure, ardent fame
Shall light the way mid all my dreary gloom,
Like that lone lamp that burned in Tullia's tomb.

AN 1MPoRTANT DECISION.
The Presidents Power 20 Dismiss Army
onicers Not Limited by Statute.


oGioers Not Limited by Statute.
The supreme court of the United States
yesterday made decision of much interest to
the army and the navy in tho case of Edward
l.. Keyes appellant, VS.. the United States, on
appeal from the court of claims. Tho appel
liant in this case was lieutenant in the
United States army, and was tried by court
martial in February, 1877, and sentenced to
dismissal from the service. One Of the charges
against him was preferred by Col. Merritt who
testified as II witness in support of that charge,
and who ut tho same time was n member of
the court The President approved the sem
tence dismissing Keyes and two months later
mado an appointment TO ill his place, which
was subsequently confirmed by the senate.
Keyes brought tho present suit in the court
of claims to recover pay since 1877 upon the
ground that tho proceedings of the court mar
tial were vitiated by che Action Of one of it's
members, Col. Merritt, in preferring charges,
testfying as a Witness and sitting as o mem
ber of the court; that in consequence of this
irregularity ho (the complainant) was not
dismissed from the service, and the President
had no power to mako an appointment to fill
his place.
This court holds, first, that the president
has tho power to supersedo or remove an
officer Of tho army by appointing another to
take his place, by and with tho advice and
consent Of tho senate. Such power was not
withdrawn by the provision Of the act of July
13, 1866 (now embraced in section 1920 Re-
vised Statutes), that ono officer in the mill
tary or naval service shall in time of peace be
dismissed from service except upon and in
pursuance Of tho sentence of court martial
to that effect or in communication thereof"
second that where court martial has cog
nizance of the charges made and has jurisdic-
tion of the person of the accused, its sentence
is valid when questioned collaterally, al
though irregularities or errors are alleged to
witness on the trial.
No opinion is expressed as to the propriety
of such proceedings
The Judgment of tho court of claims is
affirmed.
Justice Field did not sit in the case or take
part In the decision.

HOW THEY DO 1T IN MEXICO.
Devious Courses Pursued by Our Neigh-
bors Across the Rio Grnnde.
Kansas city Journal.

Kansas City journal.
If Mexico could only have the money that
she has honestly applied, the world generally
would soon see great improvements through
out the country, but corruption among gov
ernment officials is reduced to a science here,
and it can be pretty safely said that the
higher the official the greater the plunder.
will cite three instances which will show you
how things are run here. Tho government
proposed to carry out some large works at
Vera Cruz to improve the harbor there, and
it was estimated that 100000 would do the
work; the official who had the letting of
tho contract was offered 100000 to
grant 1t to q certain contractor. To this
he agreed, stipulating, however, that the
100000 must be paid to him in cash before
he issued the contract. Some delay arose in
raising the 100000 in cash, but at last when
the contractor had succeeded in doing so
when he rendered it to the official, who then
informed him that he was too late, as he had
let the contract to somebody else, who had
paid him $125, 900. Thus the official pocketed
more than one-ffth of the whole value of the
contract. Another instance: The governor
of the state of San Luis Potosi was offered
$1,000 by somebody who wished to procure
from him certain valuable concession. The
would-be concessionaire was very desirous to
impress the governor that nobody but their
two selves need ever know anything about
tho transaction, and he promised on his part
that he would certainly tell nobody The
governor considered a moment, agreed to
grant the concession, but said, MAKE it
$4,000, and tell everybody"
The third instance is that of o contractor
to whom the government owed 100000 for
work done. The work had been properly
executed, his accounts were all in order, and
he applied to the proper official for payment
who simply informed him that he could not
pay him. why not?" demanded the con-
tractor, everything is in order" Eyes
know" was the reply, "but can't pay you"
Being pressed to give reason for refusing
payment he stated that he must have $25, 900
of the money himself The contractor in
formed him that that was impossible. as he
had himself to pay away nearly the whole of
the money. "What was he to do?" Moth
ing easier," replied the official, make out
your account for $125,O0O. You can then
give me $4,000 and take the 100000 your

LEGIsLATING FOR HOME BUTCHERS

The Working Masses OF Germany Crying
Aloud for Prohibited American Pork.
James H. Smith, United States commercial
agent at Mayence, in report to the depart
ment of state in regard to American vs. Hun
garian pork in Germany, says:
The anathema recently thundered by the
German government against all swine and
swine flesh of American origin, while very
disadvantageous TO the United States, is well
como tidings to neighboring countries. This
measure. adopted under the pretonse Of ex-
Guiding from the empire q dangerous food
appears TO Americans and to n largo portion
of the people of Germany to have been de-
vised solely with a view to benefit few at
the expense of the many; but from Hungary
and other parts of Europe this article of food
can be procured at cheaper prices
than are ruling in Germany, and tho
farmers of tho empire, in whose interest
the act was undoubtedly decided upon, will
probably not reap rs great an advantage
therefrom as they expected. The people Of
the Rhineland, who will be great sufferers
from this unjust measure, are very much an
noyed to think that their government should
have taken such a step. AT the time il was
suggested much opposition was manifested il
the reichstag and by boards of trade.
&C., and there is now much complaint
among the people. The laboring classes
of Germany seldom have meat, and they
have depended very largely upon pork on
account of its cheapness as a flesh food,
but even the poor boon of mess of
pork once week, it seems, Is to be denied
them. Germany Is unable TO produce flesh
enough to supply the demand Of her people,
and especially in the Rhineland and in West
phala is this inability most apparent. A
very good market has consequently recently
arisen In these districts for Hungarian swine,
which can be brought to Cologne at cost Of
