SUPREME COURT DECISION.

In the Wilkes Walker case, appealed from
Chester, involving the question of the right
of an insolvent debtor to make an assign
ment in favor of preferred creditors, the
State Supreme Court filed decision, on the
9th instant, in effect denying this right to
insolvent debtors, and placing all creditors
in the rank and on the footing which they
held at the time of the insolvency. Accord
ing to the decision, rendered by McIver, A.
j., and concurred in by MCGOWAN, A. j.,
no preference, by assignment or otherwise,
can be given by one who is insolvent. The
Chief Justice dissents from the opinion.

There is in London quiet little hotel which
Is not generally known by travellers, being
frequented only by the highest class of titled
Englishmen and foreign noblemen. A very
few wealthy Americans who had found out
that 1t was exclusive and costly tried occa-
sionally to gain admission.
About year ago, two lads of sixteen dress
ed in the height Of the fashion, a faint down
on their lips, sat in the drawing room of this
house before the FIRE, their hats on, their legs
stretched out at full length, whistling in con-
cert. They were the sons Of q merchant
prince Of New York, and Of q Chicago man
who had gained great fortune by mining
speculations; and accordingly looked down
on the world from lofty height. A grey,
bent old gentleman came in wrapped In an
old-fashioned travelling shawl, something the
worse for wear. He stopped. looked at the
fre, and waited for the youthful occupiers
Of the best places TO rise. The boys stared
at him, stretched their legs q little further
across the hearth, and whistled more loudly
than before. The old gentleman sat down in
Q corner.
Its q cold day outside, mother !" said
one of the young Doors loudly, and they both
laughed. A moment or two later q feeble
old lady entered. They still remained seat
ed, but eyed her quizzically as she sat down
by her husband. She wore thick, broad-soled
shoes, 9 travelling dress, and a bonnet OF
the fashion Of two years ago.
The lads gigRled. "Ah, there !" said one.
Nov there" responded the other.
The first whistled, 'The monkey married
the baboon's sister"
Where's your sister this morning, Bob 2"
interrupted his companion.
Busy with the dressmakers, guess.
She's going to be presented to Vicky next
week"
"Yes7 She's sumner. She'll lay over
these English women, guess.
A servant entered, and delivered a mes
sage TO the old gentleman, who with his wife
left the room.
"Ah, there !" one young man, said willing
70 repeat fine bit Of wit. The servant turn
ed on him aghast
THAT is his grace the Duke Of" nam
ing one Of the oldest houses in England. The
young men, who we're Of that class of Ameri-
cans who grovel before rank sat dumb for
. moment, and then muttering "it was q
cold day indeed" went out. The next day
the hotel at which this scene occurred issued
q notice, mo Americans will be received"
This notice is publioaly given by some of
the beet hotels in England, and naturally af-
fords much offence to travellers from this
country. Our story may partially explain
the reason for it, Youths Companion

Miscellany.
In NoNemher.

The flowers are dead, the fragrant, regal flowers,
And fed the blithesome robine, whose sweet song
From early morn made glad the heeting hours
When sunlit days were long.
The sable crow wings slowly DER the hill,
His harsh call sounding through the frosty air;
The meadow sweeps are brown-clad now and chilli
The trees are gaunt and bare.
The barn fowls cluster where the low-hung sun
Makes warm the earth beneath the slanting caves
The roadway paths are russet-robed and dun,
Thick strewn with fallen leaves.
The sky Is gray; the sunlight falls across
The distant mountains, white, and thin, and cold,
Not radiant beams, that forest-wRys emboss
With shifting heoks Of gold.
Amid the orchards harsh winds come aud 20,
And wild and high the songs they roughly sing;
Aud smitten with the chill OF coming snow,
The trees stand shvering.
Sharp ring the ax-blows from the mountain side,
And laundering falls the tall and sturdy oak;
Soon will It's form fame on the hearthstone wide,
And fade away in smoke.
No moro the buckwheat blooms bend in the breeze
No more the clover blossoms lonely sway;
No more we hear the honey-laden bees
Boom on their homeward way.
No lowing kline in upland pastures stand
When evenings gold shows the faint CLEAN Of stars
Patiently waiting for some friendly hand
To open wide the bars.
The storm-wind filings its banners up the sky,
And, rushing from the Northland's realm OF snow,
Its tempest-notes, where forests tower high,
To louder murmurs grow
Where late we met october's sunny smiles,
By yonder flowing rivers silver CLEAN,
Along the hill, and through the woodland aisles,

The End Of Celebrated Murdsr Cas,


The End OF a Celebrated Murder Case.
The soquittAl of Mrs. walkup, on trial for
the murder of her husband, the mayor of
Emporia, Kan, announced on Friday of last
week, terminates case which has attracted
unusual attention and interest The accused
is beautiful Southern girl, who met and
married Walkup, man Of 40, IN New Or
leans, she being then but 49, Within a
month of the wedding the bridegroom died
suddenly, under circumstances which led TO
the arrest Of the young wife on charge Of
poisoning. The deceased had families by
two previous wives, and these Joined In urg-
ing the prosecution, they having bitterly re-
sented his third marriage, and being per-
suaded that Minnie Wallace accepted him on
ly TO get possession Of his property, which
was considerable. An autopsy revealed the
presence of arsenic in the dead mans stom-
ach ii was shown that the defendant had
purchased both that poison and stryehnine
about the time her husband was taken III
and the case against her looked black On
the trial, however, strong evidence was ad-
duced showing that the dead man had been
in the habit Of taking arsenic incidentally
for years, and it was further demonstrated
that his constitution was 30 impaired as 10
render possible almost any kind Of collapse,
independent of the action Of the poison TAX

This evidence established q presumption
favorable 10 the prisoner, but taken alone 1t
probably would not have acquitted her. The
fact that she had bought poison just at the
tima when her husband was seized with his
fatal illness would, in the average mind.
when placed In connection with the disorep-
anoy in their ages, her frankly expressed in
difference to him, and the temptation offered
by his property to 3 poor girl, have created
the conviction that she was guilty as charged
But fortunately the defence was able 10 bring
forward exoulpatory evidence. Itwas shown
that she had bought the slryohnine 10 clean
dress with, and the arsenic for her own use,
to remove certain dishguring blotches from
her face. This testimony, If not wholly
convincing, at least strengthened the defence
as nothing else could have done, while the
medical evidence as 10 the condition of the
deceased mans health, and his habit of aTsen-
10 eating, no doubt turned the scales In the
prisoners favor. Nor is 1t credible that her
