THE SUPERVISION QUESTION.
From the yieksburg Herald.

From the yieksburg Herald,
We are indebted to our contemporary
the Abeadeen Examiner of Monday, fol
abstract of the decision Of Hon. Robert
A. Hill, of the United States Court, III
the case of the Illinois Central Railroad
Company, versus the Railroad Commits
sioners Of Mississippi, delivered at Aber-
deen Friday the 2bth inst.
The opinion of Judge Hill is clear and
conclusive in regard to the unconstitu-
tionality of the law under which the
Railroad Commissioners are acting, and
thus sustains the spinions previously
held by the best lawyers of the State.
We do not know whether the case will
be appealed to the Supreme Court of the
United States, the tribunal of the last
resort, or not. If it is appealed, three
years will probably elapse before the
decision of that court can be had, and
thus by the folly and bull headedness Of
the majority of the Legislature, the
Commissioners will continue to receive
the pay and emouments Of their post
ions, though poweress to perform any
official function. If it be determined
10 atCtJt bLG NGCiSipu Vi JuNbS LII as
final in the premises, we take it for
granted that the Commissioners will re-
liuquish their hold upon the public teat,
step down and out, and Thus stop use
less and wholly unnecessary drain upon
the treasury Of the people. 1t is to the
eternal shame and disgrace of the men
who voted Tor this Supervision law, that,
with the full knowledge that the various
railroad companies in Mississippi would
resist their favorite measure upon the
ground that its provisions oontravened
the Constitution of the United States, as
well as that Of Mississippi, majority re
fused absolutely to mako the compen-
sation OF tho Commissioners TO cease
when ever they should be estopped by
judicial process from the performance Of
their funetionsl A more fragrant disre-
gard Of the rights and interests of the
tax payers Of the State. q more contempt
uous Indifference to the dignities and
decencies Of legislation and the perform
ance of public duty, has never before
smirched the fair fame Of g great COM
monwealth.

Mobile Register.
About four o'clock Thursday after
noon, the 56-inch circular saw at
Stoutz & Co.'S Dry Dock Saw Mill,
which was running 800 revolutions
per minute, struck something in the
pine log on the saw frame, and few
into number OF pieces, fortunately
not injuring any one. The engine
was Immediately stopped, and an ex-
animation of the log showed that the
saw had struck a 6-inch iron shell,
which was lodged il the tree, cutting
off enough to show the powder inside.
The slab and one plank had been
sawed of, and this was the third cut,
showing how deep the shell was i'm
bedded. The log was one cut from
the land in the vicinity Of Spanish
Fort and it is believed that this she'll
was fired into the tree during the ter
rife bombardment Of that place in the
late war. 1t was very fortunate that
the she'll did not explode, or the en-
tire mill might have been destroyed.
AS it was the saw was burst into
fragments, the wrist pin broken and
the hanger overhead demolished,
The piece cut off from tho shell by
the saw was on the side opposite the
fuse, and was an irregular cut look
ing like bad chipping with hammer
and cold chisel. The she'll was yes
terday to be seen at the Office Of Guy,
Bevan & CO., 81 St. Francis street.

1t seems that some OF. the members
Of the Kentucky Legislature are do
Ing something else besides trying to
Nominate candidate for Senator. A
gentleman direct from tho seat of
fire water informed us yesterday that
there was some lively poker-playing
at night. "Why," said the man, "the
games in Frankfort would make the
cold blood run among the tin-horn
men of this city. The other night a
DELEGATE from Louisville was playing
with mountain county delegate,and
the Louisville man held four deuces.
The hay-seed gentleman was dealing
and managed to get straight flush,
and the betting commenced. The
bridel was of and there was no limit.
Both men ancorked their bundles, and
the dust commenced to fy. The bet
ting was $50 at time to go with, but
this became monotonous,and the bills
with big G on them were placed on
the table. Neither man WINGED, as
each was sure OF winning, but finally
the Louisville man called when he
had an even cool thousand staked on
his hand. Old hay-seed laid down
his straight flush which made the
gentleman from down the river shud-
der, as the firm grip of the mountain
man was laid on enough crisp bank
bills to buy several votes at the usual
price He laid down his four deuces
and remarked that he would not come
in again until he had something. He
evidently had something after that,
as he quit enc thousand one hundred
dollars winner before the hotel bell
announced that hash was readyIt is
= common occurrence in Frankfort to
see man drop COOL hundred on 3

Detroit Times.1
When a pair of red lips are upturued to
your own,
With no one to gossip about it,
Do you pray for endurance to leave them
alone,
Well mebbe you debut doubt it.
When shy little hand you're permitted
to seize.
With velvety softness about it,
Do you think you can drop it with never
a squeeze?
Well, mebbe you can-but eoubt it.
When a taperiug waist is in reach of your
arm,
With wonderful plumpness abouti it
Do you argue the point 'twixt the good
and the harm?
Well, mebbe you debut I doubt it.
And if by these tricks you should cap
ture heart,
With womanly sweetness about it,
Will you guard it, and keep it, and act
the goo part?
Well, mebbe you will-but doubt it.

Sometimes wonder what mean
man thinks about when he goes to
bed. When he turns out the light
and lies down. When the darkness
closes in about him, and no is alone,
and compelled tc be honest with him
self. And not bright thought, not q
gen rous impulse, not a manly act,
not word OF blessing, not a grateful
look, comes to bless him. Not a PEN
ny dropped into the outstretched
hand Of poverty, nor the balm of a
loving word dropped into an aching
heart, no sunbeam of encouragement
cast upon struggling life; the strong
right hand Of fellowship reached out
to help some fallen man to his feet
when none Of these things come to
him as the GoD BLESS YOU Of the de-
parted day, how he must hate himself.
How he must try to roll away from
himself and sleep on the other side
of the bed. When the only victory
he can think Of is some mean victory,
in which he has wronged some neigh
Dor. No wonder he always sneers
when he tries to smile. How pure
and fair and good all the rest Of the
world must look to him, and how
cherries and dusty must his own
path appear. Why, even Que lone
isolated fact of meaness is enough to
scatter cracker crumbs in the bed Of
the average man, and what must be
the feelings of a man whose life is
given up to mean acts? When there
is 50 much suffering and heartaohe
and misery in the world, anyhow, why
do you add one pound of wickedness
or sadness to the general burden2
Do not be mean my friends.-Ex.

What VIII Burst a Gun.


From the Philadelphia Times.
Some strangely twisted pieces of
gun barrels in window on Chestnut
street exhibit in most interesting
fashion the yagaries Of overtasked
gun barrels. These specimens are
parts OF some guns burst by Cap
tain Heath, Of this city, during
some protraoted experiments with
various weapons, Five of the barrels
were burst because a ball was "stuck"
near the muzzle in each case, two
gave way because about four inches
Of snow was put in the muzzle, two
were burst by reason Of having some
wet sand st the muzzle, and three
were ruptured by mud at the muzzle.
Sportsmen often scoop up q little mud
or sand unconsciously, bang away at
game, and are then astonished to find
the gun with ragged and shortened
barrel.

Nothing presents a sadder commen-
atary upon the present condition of So
ciety than the large number of families,
both in town and in the country, but
more especially in the latter, that sub
scribe to no paper of any kind. Hun
'dreds and thousands are thus growing
up utterly ignorant of what is trans
piring about them-ignorant of the
mighty events of the day. But who
can tell the vast amount of injury that
is being inflicted upon the rising gene
ratlon-those who are to take our place
in the busy world at no distant day
growing up without any knowledge of
kthe present, or any study of the past;
tthis ignorance, too, being imbued into
them by the sanction Of those who
should, and doubtless do, know better,
did they only think Of the injurious e.
fects of their insane course. Let the
head of every family think of this, and
place in the hands of those for whom

ing some knowledge of the moving
