took the broom and started to help

could set up on the sidewalk, with
his back against the lower step, when
ma came sliding down, aud one of the
heels of her CATERS hit the minister in
the hair and the other loot went right
through between his arm and his side,
and the broom liked to push his teeth
down his throat. But he was not mad
at ma. As soon as he seed it was ma,
he said: why, sister, the wicked
stand in slippery places, don't they?"
and ma said she was mad, and Tor him
to let go her stocking; and then pa was
mad, and he said, "Leok here, you

come on the steps at all, and pa was
serapiug the soap of his pants With a
piece of shiugle, and the hired girl
was putting liniment on ma, and heat
ing it for palpitation of the heart, and
pa said: You dam ijut, no more of
this, or I'll maui the liver cut of you"
and | asked pa il he didn't think soft
soap would help a moustache to grow,
and he picked up mas work basket

A COnIederate inscription,

A sister of tie writer who is now
spending the winter in Georgia writes
him a description of the soldiers
monument at Augusta, which excited
her admiration because of the dignity
and beauty Of its inscription. 1t IL
an obelisk, eighty feet high, sur
mounted by the statue of a soldier,
and on each corner pedestal there is a
statue of a General-Lee, jackson,
Walker and Cobb. On one side is
the inscription, Erected in 1873 by
the Ladies Memorial Association Of
Augusta in honor of the men who
died in the cause Of the Confederate
States" On another side Worthy
to have lived and known our gratis
tude; worthy to be hallowed and held
in tender remembrance; worthy the
fadeless honor which Confederate SOL
diers won; who gave themselves in
life and death for us-for the honor of
Georgia, for the rights of the States,
for the liberties OF the people, for the
sentiments OF the South, for the
principles Of the Union, as these we're
handed down to them by the fathers
Of our common country" O0 another

Law prohibiting tax collectors from re.
ceiving anything COR taxes but coin or
treasury bank notes. The legality OF
this act constituted the point at issue
in the suit in the Supreme Court.
Both parties to the suit claim that the
Associated Press report of the decis-
ion is incorrect. A dispatch from
Richmond says that the Readjusters
there have obtained a copy OF the
courts decision, aud declare it I'M
questionionably in their favor. A
copy of the same decision has been
carefully examined by attorneys in
New York, and construed directly the
opposite. The truth seems to be that
the court was divided, but with
preponderance of opinion in fa-
vor of the Malone Readjusting
scheme. Justice Matthews was
with the majority of the court,
but based his opinion upon somewhat
different grounds. Justice Field and
Justice Harlan dissented. Justice
Harlan is credited with saying that
the decision marked new era in the
judicial history Of the Court, and was
a new departure in sharp conflict with
all of its past utterances. The deei-
sion is one of the most serious i'm
portance, and it is to be regretted that
it is not better understood. Has a
State the right to invalidate its sa-
cred contractsp was really the point at
issue. The Readjusters as we'll as the
bondholders, have had good reason to
feel anxious as to the result. With
the decision against them the State
would have been without revenues for
two vaora
