Considerable cOmmotlOn has been
caused among the colored people by a
recent decision Of the United States SUI
preme court in the civil rights cases. It's
effect is simply to confne the applica-
ton of the act of congress of March l.,
1878, to the equal rights of ali citizens
in every state in regard to contracts, to
the holding and conveyance Of property,
to proceedings in courts, to personal
protection, and to holding Office. In
other words, the act cannot be con-
strued as securing to any citizen any So
cial privileges to which his position
among his fellows does not entitle him.
The unconstitutionality of the portions
Of the act relating to social privileges
has long been affirmed by the best law
yers, and the decision OF the court will
not change things very much. Compar-
atively few negroes, even In the first
enjoyment of their freedom, become
more disagreeable than many white peo-
pie unable to understand their proper
social position. The negroes in many
states are numerous enough to have
caused great trouble by insisting upon
their rights under the law Of 1875. Their
failure to do this encourages the belief
that the proper relations between the
two races will adjust themselves from
time to time without legislation.

There is passion for office in Eng
land, as in the United States, and the
crowd of applicants Is constantly in
creas!ng in England. The British civil
service commissioners report for the
past year states that they have exam
ined .36 400 applicants, as against p, 243
in the previous twelve months. Only
$3.50 have obtained certificates, which is
$50 less than in 1881. Candidates enough
passed the examination to supply our
men for every vacancy. Moreover, the
CLINT ofcandidates was most marked in
the examinations where a mere slnatter
of learning suttice5, and where the pay
obtainable is presposterously low. It is
therefore demonstrated that appoint
ings under civil service rules increases
rather than dminishes the rage for Of
fee. It is 60 in England where civil
service rules have been in operation for
some years; and probably will be the
same in the United States, as soon as
the requirements for office come to be
better understood.

Song Of the Season.

Come meditative muse-fantastic fay
Come, rack your sconce and rake your
tunes together,
Get up and stir yourself without delay,
Let's slug the weather.
Hail, snow fakes, snow storm, snow drift,
heap on heap,
These are delightful where the mud was
odious;
Tender thy strain in midst of winter sleep,
Thou shower melodiousl
Now blithe lads pelt each other with the
snow,
Now roses deck the cheek and noses tingle
And warm hearts hide beneath the buffalo,
And sleigh-bells Jingle.
The jolly wind a serenading goes;
To show each lovely damsel what he kin
do;
He plays on his catarrh and blows his SHOWS
Beneath her window.
TIE rural locomotive plies the plow;
The festive farmer fourishes the shovel;
The snow--(eight feet )-drowns and disguises
now
Palace and novel.
Three feet of ice upon the rivers freeze,
And Billy bellows like bull of Bashan
When he falls down and bumps his head and
gees
A constellation.
The pipes freeze up. No Croton, cold or
hot
And once more, as you do in summer,
You seek the sultan of the soldering-pot,
The orulent plumber.
This is the golden leisure-hour for sport:
The hour to play upon a flute, or go forth
And call at Deacon Stebbins', to court
Your girl, &c.

ESTRANGED.
A MATRIMONIAL EPISODE.

AS the horn sounded the call to
breakfast Caleb Sterling came down
the path which led from the barn to
the kitchen door, a foaming pail of
milk in each hand. The kitchen
looked pleasant and cozy. A cheerful
fire burned in the brightly-polished
stove, by the side of which, in soap
box, Maltese cat was contentedly
purring to four small kittens. Gera-
NUNS bloomed on the window-sills,
and the row of tins hanging above the
long dresser shone as brightly as soap
and sand could make them.
The breakfast was hot and savory,
and the small, delicate-looking woman
sitting behind the big coffee pot was
very fair to the sight, with her large,
dark blue eyes, curly hair, low, broad
forehead and regular features. She
was neatly dressed in dark blue flannel,
made simply, and relieved at the neck
and wrists by linen collar and cuffs,
and protected in front by large
white apron.
Pleasant as was this picture of home
comfort, the stern, angry look which
Caleb Sterling's face had worn for
several days past did not relax. He
set the pals on a bench. washed his
hands in tin basin at the sink, and
without a word took his seat at the
table.
Neither did the wife speak. She
poured out her husbands coffee and
handed it to him WITHOUT remark, and
in utter silence accepted the broiled
steak and fried potatoes he offered her.
The hired man had taken his break
fast an hour previously, in order that
he might go TO the village on an er-
rand, and the husband and wife were
free to exchange the sweetest conf
dences unheard. But apparently they
had none to exchange. 1t was not
until the meal was ended that the
strange, oppressive silence was broken,
save by the clatter of knives and
forks.
Then, as he pushed back his chair
with great deal of unnecessary noise,
and rose from the table, Caleb said,
without looking at his wife:
I'm going over TO Squire Bligh's to
see him about that corn he wants me
TO let him have. I'll be back before
noon. and then I'll harness up and
we'll go TO Freestone to see Lawyer
Kane. / sent him note yesterday,
making an engagement for this after
noon; so we won't miss seeing him."
AMI without waiting for reply
he put on his hat and overcoat and
went out.
Rebecca Sterling did not rise as her
husband left the room. She sat mo-
tionless, starizs down at the breakfast
tray before her with eyes that slowly
filed with tears, and a hard and bitter
expression on her youthful face.
1t was about to end, then, this
wTangling between Caleb and herself.
They were to secure peace at the price
of a separation. In a few hours they
would be discussing the matter with a
lawyer, laying bare to him the demes

Nutmegs grow upon a tree from
twenty-five to thirty feet high, which
bears fruit resembling in form and
size the Seckle pear. When ripe the
onter shell of this fruit breaks, re-

known to commerce as mace. This in
its turn is removed, and the nutmeg
is found inclosed in a third shell
harder than either of the others.

The republican members of the senate took
advantage Of the late hour at which that body
decided to convene yesterday and held a
caucus lasting from 1890 till 12 o'clock. A
pretty general discussion of the situation was
had, and an unusually frank expression OF
opinion was INDUCED in. Some of the speak.
ers advised an Abandonment of the tariff bill
on the ground that its further discussion was
utter folly and waste of time; that it had
been abundantly demonstrated that no tariff
measure can possibly be passed at this session
and that each day seemed to. place the repub-
licans themselves farther and farther from
any possibility Of an agreement upon the
final terms and rates of the bill On the con-
trary, it was urged that the bill had now
reached point where by harmony Of purpose
and action on the part of the republicans and
abstinence from further speeches o final vote
could soon be reached; that to abandon the
bill now would be virtual concession by the
republicans that they could not agree among
themselves and that the logical result woult
be to place the onus of responsibility for thu
failure Of tariff revision upon the republican
party. vote was finally taken which ro
suited, by large majority, in favor Of going
