AUNT POLLY'S ROOM.

Love In cottage, stuff and nom
sense" said Mrs. Meredith, in the
curt petulant tone which denoted
years of grinding poverty, petty
annoyances, and blighting cares.
'Mary, think you ought to know
better
eBut, aunt Pelly, why shouldn't
people love one another as well in
"a kitchen as a palaee?" pleaded
Mary Meredith, a bright-eyed girl
of nineteen who was plating up a
new trimming for the old cashmere
dress which had already been
..turned" twice.
'They don't" drily retorted aunt
Polly. That's all I know about
it,,
"When poverty comes in at the
door, love flies out of the window
.'Then it can't be real love-" said
Mary, very decidedly.
81 know that I should be happy
with Charley anywhere, even if we
hadn't carpet to the floor, or
curtain to the window
"Fiddle-de-dee,. said Mrs. Mere
dith.
''That's all you know about it.
That's just exactly what thought
when / married your uncle Cyril.
"Folks say that old Benaiah
Meredith was rich miser, and that
sooner or later, your uncle Cyril
would inherit all his property"
$50 he did, such as it was-this
old tumbled-down house, half-a-
dozen or SO Of sterile acres, and
the Genealogical Family Tree
mounted on parchment and en-
blazoned in different colors.''
..But 1 didn't think of that. 1
was a foolish schoolgirl in love
and, like all the rest of them, /
married in haste and repented at
leisure"
"And here I am, at forty, a
broken down old woman with your
uncle Cyril helpless and bedridden
upstairs.
"To me he is care and a burden.
To him am slave"
There. do you hear his cane rap
ping on the floor upstairs?"
ssThat is a signal for me to drop
everything and hurry to him at
once
"Get married, Mary; do, if you
want to enter into just such wretch
ed slavery, at once"
Mary Meredith was silent.
Aunt Polly had never spoken
her mind quite so plainly before.
Was it then true that aunt Polly
had once been rosy, dimpled young
thing like herself, with a heart full
of vague anticipations, a soul half
enfolded like the convolvulus buds?
Would life treat her with the
same unrelenting cruelty9
Woald Charley Franklin ever
shrivel into snarling old bundle
Of skin, like uncle Cyril in the
great bed upstairs?

STATE soyEREIGNTN. /

The opinion given yesterday By
the Supreme Court Of the United
States settles an important point
touching the power of Congress to
legislate in the matter Of Gill
rights. The Legislation in question
is contained in Section 5,519 of sae
Revised Statutes Of the United
States which provides for the puhS
ishment of any persons who shall
conspire to deprive any citizen Of
the equal protection Of the lsWs.
This Act was passed about ten
years ago for the purpose mainly Of
protecting the blacks in the South
against violence and maltreatmclt
of armed bodies in disguise. The
Supreme Courts hold that Congress
has no constitutional power TO enact
such law, for the reason that It is
a matter wholly within the criminal
jurisdiction Of the State. It issfo.
the State and not Congress to TAXI,
cognizance Of and punish such
crimes. If Congress may punish q.
local offence Of this kind there ID
nothing to prevent it from making q
more extensive usurpation Of the
criminal jurisdiction Of the States.
In recent years the Supreme Court
has rendered many decisions whose
effect has been in the direction OFF
Capitalization. The Court yester
day affirmed an important principle
of State sovereignty

Mr.. Dickey was permitted to address the
council, and inquired OF the chairman of the gas
committee why the committee could not make
its report; he claiming that gas had been furn-
ished. and the company was entitled to pay.
Mr.. Hamlet replied that the gas company had
not kept its contract; that the city had always
been liberal with the company. often paying in
full when dockage ought to have been made, but
the company would not put in new lamps when
requested. and had failed to keep it's contract.
Mr.. Dickey explained that their contract ex-
PRED next April. and the new Work would cost
$500. He had sent his order for the new work.
some seven weeks ago, but could, not get 1t.
Tue mayor stated that the gas company had
neglected to keep their contract and had sighted
and lnsulted the council. and unless they did
keep the contract he would never sign a warrant
for them until compelled to do SO by law, and he
would be In favor of cutting Oh the gas and not
using it any more.
Mr.. Gibbon stated that according to the new
survey q street was found to be too wide. and
parties were setting their fences out according
~, taking in about II feet. Mr.. MullIgan said
that some of them were II to Is inches inside of
the new line.
Mr.. b. G.. Lee was permitted to address the
council. and asked permission to fence up the
Gnu o1 . street near MS house, saying that 1t had
never been used as 3 highway. and was only
psssable for footmen. and that Mr.. Leuoric had
fenced . part Of II. If tho city ever needed the
land 1t would be given up. Mr.. Howell thought
that as Mr.. Lee did not claim the land the city
had better claim 1t at once. Mr.. Davis SAID Mr..
Leubric already had it fenced. Mr.. Lee said Mr..
Leubric did not claim to own the land. Mr..
Wilson said it did not matter if the parties had
possession for twenty years, their possession
did not amount to anything unless they claimed
to own the land.
Mr.. Davis moved that q committee be appoint
ed to see how much the land could be sold for.
Carried.
Mr.. Homer stated that the marshal had served
notice on property owners to repair their side
walks. but they paid no attention to the notices.
The marshal thought . clnder walk on Pine
street. opposite the livery stable. would accom-
nodate the few who travel that street. and it
would not be right to force the owners Of vacant
lots to put down pavements. The mayor said
that II the marshal would hle q few complaints
ne thought the pavements would be repaired.
The mayor appointed T.. J. John keeper of the
calaboose. and Jos. Owen policeman for the en-
suing month.

"MentOr'' writes from Blackburn :-"Mr.
D. Nj. Gill, of Kansas City, was in town last
week. Mrs. Howard, teacher of our public
school, visited Marshall last Saturday. Some
much needed repairing was done to our side

occurred in our community for years, the
sudden death of Mrs. David Small, Sr. She
had in her usual health eaten a hearty dinner
and sat down by the stove in the sitting room
and taken her bible to prepare a v%erse(as was
| her custom) for the Sabbath school the fol-
lowing Sunday. Her husband left her and
was absent hut i short time. not more than
five or ten minutes. On his return he found
her lying dead behind the stove with her cheek
and hair slightly burned where she struck
the stove in falling. II is supposed heart dis
ease caused her death. Her body was pre-
served until the arrival Of her daughter, Mrs.
@. V. Gunnell, of Buena Vista, Colorado.
Her funeral sermon was preached to-day,
CTuesday) at the Baptist church in this place,
to a large congregation OF sorrowing friends
and grief stricken relatives, after which her
body was inferred at the burying ground three
miles south OF US. She leaves an aged grief
stricken husband and nine children to mourn
for their departed loved one. They have the

irreparable loss. Mrs. Small was an exem-

Pronouncing Exercise in D.

A dolorous, diplomatic, Danish dominic,
(without ducats, seated upon a dromedary
and followed by a demoniacal dog, who was
far from docile). was damning the dessert of
his dinner in direct terms. He designated it
as dilute and dishonest, worthy of disdain
though eaten upon a dlvan. He went on in
detail and would not desist, but continued in
a style worthy of a drama. 1t was not dis
putable, however, that his diatribe was dis
armed of disaster to his host when it was
divulged that he was a dissembler and had
been d~isfranchised because of defalcation and
a deficit in his accounts.
