Last Monday the Supreme Court
of the United States decided five civ
il rights ca es, based on the first and
second sections of the civil rights act.
They are respectively prosecutions
under the act for not admitting GER
tain colored persons to equal accom-
modations aud privileges in iuns or
hotels, in railroad ears and in thea
tres. The court holds that congress
had no constitutional authority to pass
the section in question under either
the thirteenth or fourteenth amend
ments of the constitution. The decis.
ion, however, is held to apply only to
the validity in states and not in terri
tories or the District of Columbia,
where the legislative power of cons
gress is unlimited SO far as the states
are concerned. The two sections of
the law above referred to are declared
unconstitutional and void. Justice
Bradley rendered the opinion, Justice
Harlan dissenting.

We have visited many similar

and less to blame we never saw under
canvass. One of the most novel fea-
lures of the exhibition is a herd of

The Ohio result has started some
queer schemes among the republi>
can politicians. 1t is talked about
among them that the best thing to do
next year is to let New York go and
capture Maryland, Florida, North
Carolina and Virginia. 1t is admit,
ted since Tuesday that New York
will be a very difficult state to do
anything with, and the proposition is
to organize great 'still hunt in
the southern states named and carry
them by what is generally known as
the Indiana method" a thorough
and minute organization and canvass
which reaches every last man in the
state, and generous distribution of
new crisp So notes. The peculiar po-
litical situation in Virginia, Mary
land and North Carolina at this time
are thought to be favorable to a
scheme of this kind. 1t is admitted,
however, that the Ohio defeat has a
very depressing effect upon the Vir-
sinia coalition party.

At Sea in a Basket.

1t was upon September 20, 1851, the
Arctic, belonging to the now extinct
Collins line, sailed from Liverpool to
New York with more than 200 pas.
sengers on board. The voyage was
safely accomplished until the Arctic
got within siXty-tive miles of Cape
Race, when she was run into by the
Vesta, small iron steamer owned and
manned by Frenchmen, and of about
100 tons burden. Within four hours
of the collision the big vessel disap-
peared beneath the waves, and the lit
tie vessel was speeding on her way to-
ward the French coast, where, uncon-
scious of the mischief she had done,
she arrived in safety about fortnight
later. About forty of. the Arctics
crew and passengers were saved in a
boat, and a few more were picked up
from RATS and bits of the vessel, among
the latter being Captain Luce and a
Mr.. Smith, then resident of the state
of Mississippi, but subsequently a
wealthy Glasgow merchant. Mr.. Smith
was saved upon raft of planks
lashed together by himself, on the top
of which he tied the basket lined with
tin, into which unwaShed plates were
put during the saloon dinner Upon
the edge of this basket, with his feet
at the bottom, Mr.. Smith sat for two
nights and nearly three days, bailing it
as it filled from time to time. 1t will
be heard with little surprise that for
many years Mr.. Smith preserved this
much-valued historical basket as a
trophy in his drawing-room at Glasgow,
and showed it to his friends as the
vehicle in which he had floated upon
the waves for fifty or sixty hours. The
basket was concealed in the center of
an ottoman made purposely to hold it,
and was only revealed when Mr.. Smith
was surrounded by few congenial
friends.

DR. Reklam considers that headaches
and other consequences of sleeping in
rooms containing flowers do not arise
from any special properties of the
/ flowers themselves, but are due to a
straining of the nerves Of smell in the
presence of perfumes for an unwonted
length of time. The effect is anala-
gous to that produced upon the eyes
by an unusual exposure to light, or on
the ears by long-continued sounds.

Employment of Women and Children.

The United States census statistics
relating to "gainful' occupations show
some significant results as to the EN-
plOvment of women and children. The
whole number of females reported as
pursuing gainful occupations in the
United States in 1870 was 1,S36,2SS.
In 1880 the number was 2,647,157,
showing an increase during the ten
years of SI0,S69. This result shows
that the number of females engaged
in occupations has increased at amuch
higher rate than the female popula-
tion, and also at higher rate than the
number of males pursuing occupa-
tions. 1t further appears that the rate
of increase in the number of females
pursuing occupations has been far
higher in manufacturing and mechaDi-
cal industries-that is, in factories
chiehy-than in any other kind of EN-.
ployment.
Similar results are shown by the cen
sus statistics with reference to the en-
plovment of children. In 1870 the
whole number between ten and fifteen
years of age reported as pursuing gain
full occupations was 739, l64. In 1880
the number was 1.11S,356, or an in.
crease during the decade of 379, 1872.
The rate of this increase was greater
than the rate of increase in the popu-
lation between those ages, and it was
also greater than the rate of increase
in the number of adults pursuing gain-
ing occupations, AS in the case Of
women so in the case of children, the
rate of increase in the number en-
ployed has been greatest in factories.
Nearly three hundred thousand more
women, and about sixty thousand more
children, were employed in manufac-
turing industries in 1880 than in 1870

Scotch PlOwmcn's Vests.

cultural laborers in Scotland to diStn-

their Sabbath kirk suits, sunday

pecially the center Of their pride or
vanity. 1t had a combination of all
the prismatic colors of the rainbow,

complete aurora borealis. About

the south of Scotland, the principal
heritor and patron, according to the
law and custom, was allotted the chief
seat in the gallery opposite the minis

therefore dedicated his seat to the I'M
married plowmen of the parish, who
for many years avai!ed themselves of
the privilege. Generally their number
fully packed the seat. So soon as a
member left the parish, he, of course
ceased his seat-possession, and so soon
as he entered the holy bonds of matri-
mony he had to provide accommoda-
ton for himself and his wife elsewhere,

A Jealous Songster.

A singular incident in natural his.
tory occurred lately at Chester, Eng
land. A thrush in happy state of
freedom was thrilling its notes in the
orchard beneath the walls, near the
wishing steps," when its music
excited similar efforts from a Gagged
bird of the same species, which was
suspended in front of the adjacent
houses These feathered songsters
persevered in raising their melodies tC
higher and higher efforts, as if in earn
est rivalry, when suddenly the bird
among the trees darted from its perch
upon the wicker cage of its compet
itor, broke the bars, entered it, nt
commenced an assault upon the
musical captive, the owner of which
hearing the unusual noise, came out
took the aggressor prisoner, and SOLD
it into bondage.
