Suit TO Seal the ConstitutionaIityo OF tho

Suit 10 Seal the ConstitutionaIity OF tho
Illinois "Grnnger Law.D
Argument was commenced in the supreme
court of the United States yesterday in the
important case of the Illinois Central Raj =
way company, plaintiff in error, against The
People of the State of Illinois. This was
suit brought by one John NJ Maris, in the
name of the state, against the railway COM
pany, under an act of the state legislature
passed May 2, 1873, entitled "An act to pre-
vent extortion and unjust discrimination in
rates charged for the transportation of pas
sengers and freight" The plaintiff alleges
that the railway company charged him a
higher rate on a quantity Of salt shipped from
Chicago to Tuscoa than that fixed by the
railway and warehouse commissioners " ap-
pointed under the act above mentioned. The
company admits the alleged over charge, but
maintains that the state commissioners had
no legal authority to fix rates for the
transportation of merchandise over its road,
and that the act of May 2, 1S73,which assumes
to give such authority is unconstitutional
and void for the reason that it impairs the OBJ
legation of the contract between the state and
the company embodied in the company's
charter The case was submitted to the cir
cult court of Douglas county upon an agreed
statement of facts. That court held the act
of May 2, 1873, to be constitutional and valid,
and assessed a fine of $1,000 against the rail
way company for the admitted violation of
its provisions. Upon appeal this Judgment
was affirmed by the supreme court of the
state, and the case now comes here upon
writ of error for final review. The question
in controversy is, virtually, whether the
power to fix and regulate rates for the trans
portaton of merchandise and passengers over
the Illinois Central road, is vested in the rail-
way company, or in the state
In case No. 240, The United States, plain
tiff VS.. Thomas Ambrose, the argument was
concluded.

Her form, poem from Masters hands;
An oval face with innocence serene,
Whose dimpled cheeks, though snowy iii

Flash like the shells on Coromandel's

Eyes. blue as those in far Circassian' s
lands,
Beneath brow that wears a royal mein,
Moon-tinted like Alhambra's palace wall,
And fifty framed IN strands of Orient

A nose and chin Rome's sculptors

Lips, clear-cut rose buds, from whose

Soft. ripping music-never could they

a young horse. The Squar' was some
what conceited on the horse question.
and when informed the equine before
him would let no man ride him he at
once determined to accomplish the feat.
A crowd gathered, saddle was brought
and his Honor presently found himself
astride of the beast. The next thing he
knew he was lying in muddy ditch,
and dozen men were laughing to kill.
Il declare this court in; session."
yelled his Honor. as he struggled up.
At this there was fresh burst OF
laughter, and he continued:
'.And each and every one of you is
fined three dollars for contempt of

They laughed harder than ever, but
the fines were recorded and collected,
and for yeas after it was understood
that court was in session except when

HIS NEIGHBOR'S LIGHT.


Night on the angry billows:
And brightfrom the lighthouse tower
Snlnes forth friendly beacon
10 save from the tempest's power.
Said the keeper-the brave Max Errdman.
AS ne worked in the tower that night:
wonder, if down on the lower coast
Iheu lamp Is burning bright"
Young Franz and Ivan-the keepers
May be careless: / think III go
And look from the cliff; must hasten back,
For theyoil in my lamp is low
So away he sped through the darkness.
10 the mountain peak afar:
And saw through the gloom of the driving
Like the smile of a beautiful star,
The headland lighthouse cleaning
ZSer that dangerous lower coast;
~Aha!" cried Max-''tis as good as mine,
= must hurry back to my post"
N'But where is the bridge? have missed it?
GOOD Heavens. it is washed away,
And bark the deep roar of signal gun
ZONES booming up from the bay"
Climbing the crest of the mountain,
He looks for the cheering spark
From has lighthouse gIeaming:-ala alas!
1t is out; and the tower is dark
Faster, and even faster
Down the mountain crags he leaps:
FOR ne KNOWS by the sound of the minute
That down on the rocky sleeps,
BY his lighthouse dark, is a vessel;
For, with nothing to guide her way,
She has struck, and will go TO pieces,
Before the break of the day.
To his tower Max wildly hurries;
But while the oil he poured
In his empty lamp, that ship went down,
With every soul on board.
For many soul may be shipwrecked
in the tempest and the night.
While those who should cheer and guide
them. y
Are watching their neighbor's light.
-Go1d Cheer.
