Interstate Commerce.

The recent decision Of the SUI
preme court Of the United States in
the Michigan drummer case has an
important bearing upon the COM
mercial rights Of the states. Al
though the case arose under dis
criminative law, intended to dis
courage:the whiskey traffic, the. points
made by the supreme court apply
with equal force to the sale Of any
other class of merchandise by any
other means. The case upon which
the decision was rendered is briefly
stated as follows: IAN agent for .
liquor house In Chicago was pro-
ceded against before Michigan
court because he had been pushing
the business Of his house In Mich
igan without paying the tax Of $500
imposed by the act OF 1875. This tax Is
laid upon all persons who shall, So
licit or take orders (sic) for the sale
OF spirtuous or Intoxicating liquors
to citizens or residents Of Michigan,
to be shipped to the state or fur
nished at wholesale by nonresident
parties, as the law reads. The Of
tending drummer, being arIaigned
before local court, was fined; ap-
pealing to the circuit court his
penalty was confirmed by jury,
and taking the case up to the su-
preme court Of Michigan the find
ings Of the lower courts were all
sustained. The decisions rendered
by the upper conrts in Michigan was
uniformaly adverse to the defend
ant, and the justices were unan-
imous. The United States supreme
court, however. reverses tho state
decisions and finds for the defend.
ant, on the theory that the Michigan
law is opposed to the provisions OF
the federal constitution, which re-
serve wholly to congress the power
to regulate commerce between the
states; that it was also unconstitu.

The researches of modern philologists
have proved, by the study Of languages
and their roots, that most of the nations
of modern Europe have descended from
the same Aryan parents as the inhabi-
tants of the Indian peninsula. Climate
in the course Of time, has so modified
them as apparently to produce different
races. For such change to take place,
geological lapses of time are certainly
required. Our earliest records, dating
back several thousand years, shows these
races, such as they are now, quite as dis
tinct. In these DAYS the Aryan races of
Europe cannot rear their children in the
climate of India, where their Hindu rel
atives thrive and propagate their species.
In Palestine and Egypt the biblical
records, those of the Pharaohs, and those
of Nineveh and Babylon, show these
regions to have been inhabited several
thousand years ago, by nations and
tribes presenting precisely the same race
character sites as those that now inhabit
them. During the historical period, the
races of Europe have in vain endeavored
to colonize the valley of the Nile, but
they have not been able to propagate
their species, and have died away, leav-
ing the valley of the Nile to its ancient
inhabitants Their children cannot with
stand the heat of summer. On the
northeastern shore of Africa, the Algeria
of the present, history presents the same
record. The Romans and the Nisigoths
occupied its plains for centuries, contin-
ually recruiting their colonies from the
mother countries; and yet, except in the
mountains, all trace of their presence has
disappeared They could not rear their
children 50 as to occupy the lands of the
Arabs. What heightened periods of
time must have elapsed to so profoundly
modify races deriving their origin from
common pa'cntage, that they can no
longer live and propagate their species
in the same climates QHatm'S Dictton-

Expense of an Imperial Meeting.

AS to the expense to the emperor OF
Austria of the imperial meeting it must
have been something awful. 1t must, in
fact, have been the most costly thirty
hours in the whole history of the court
Of Vienna. The immense schloss was
.lcaned, redecorated as far as possible,
and refurnished, while the grounds were
out in order and the vast courtyard was
transformed into a garden.
There were sent from Vienna 500 beds
with bedding, sixty court carriages, $50
horses, 1000 pieces of carpet, 400 pairs
Of curtains, 300 compete breakfast SER
vices, 1000 sets of silver forks and
spoons, 400 coffee pots, 800 teapots,
10, 600 wineglasses, $1,000 plates, 1900
bottles of the finest Rhine wines, $500
bottles of claret, 5000 bottles of cham
payne, 800 bottles of liquors, 200 clocks,
200 pounds OF coffee, fifty pounds of tea,
300 weight of sugar and 500 pounds of
wax candles, as we'll as scores of wagon
loads of furniture, pictures, plate and
china. The suites and retinues numbered
nearly 500 persons. A fire brigade was
also dispatched from Vienna, as well as
three military bands and the company of
the Vienna Imperial theatre. London

The Wrong Man Disturbed.

He was the greatest old man you ever
saw. He looked around the passenger
coach in a way to prove that he had
never entered one before, and he sat
down so softly, and seemed to be so
afraid of damaging something, that all
the passengers smiled.
By-and by young man went over and
sat down beside him. This young man
might have been directed by flial
affection, and he might not. (Which
way, uncle2" he softly asked.
"MeY oh, Pm goin' to see my darter
in Connecticut.
Ever travel much?"
"This is the first time l was ever on
the keers. I've driv off seventeen miles
with the oxen to See my other darter
but oxen amt no comparison to these
keers."
~ should say not. 1t takes a lot of
money to 90 to Connecticut and back"

Extraordinary weather fur fall. James
has been worried about his corn, but |

Nothing further was said for some
time, the old man looking out of the
window and the young man reading @
paper. The train made few stops, and
the car was so warm that after awhile

the old man began to yawn and nod. He
fought it off for ten minutes, but at last
his head fell back, and his gentle snores
mingled with the roar of the wheels.
A slim white hand, with tapcring fin
gers, rested on his leg; then it was ele-
waited to his breast. Its touch was that
of u feather Its movement that of
serpent creeping forward to strike. The
fingers touched an old fashioned wallet
The young man continued to read, and
the old man slept on. Inch by inch the
wallet was lifted from its snug resting
place, and the hand was almost ready to
remove it entirely, when something hap
pcned. With a sudden movement of his
right hand the old man pinned the in
terloper fast, and his voice was heard
calling:
"You blamed skunk But 1 knowed
all the time what you were after!
Where's the conductor"
There was a rush of passengers, and
they found helpless, confused pick
pocket and an indignant, but yet clated
old man.
"Consarn his picltur', but he took mo
fur an ole haystack from a back medder!
Work roots on me, will ye! Sot trap
fur me and fell into it yerself, eh2'
Even professional pickpocket hadn't
check enough to urge single excuse.
The fellow hadn't one blessed word to
say, and was walked off to the baggage
car to be kicked to the platform at the
station.

turned to the inquiring passengers, II

NEWS AND NOTES FOR WOMEN.

Lace shawls of whatever shape are

Polka spots, small palmleaf fans and
geometrical figures are favored designs

avenue.
ram DlaCK silks are worn ana the
American gros grains cannot be ex-
celled by those of any foseign manu-
facture.
The conspicuous features of early
winter millinery will be wool fabrics
and rosary beads. The new shapes ar !
close and snug in effect, yet a trifle
larger than heretofore. Nearly all OF
the Paris bonuets have strings and the
new picot- edged ribbon has quite the
preference. A great deal of velvet rib
bon is also used as well as fancy plush
and etamine ribbons for more dressy
purposes.
The special novelty in kid gloves is a
long mousquetaire or button glove of I'M
dressed kid with what is called ''Tyrol''
stitching on the back. This stitching re-
scmb,es fine, close satin braid on the
two outside rows, while the other is a
fine irregular line of cord silk stitches.
The stitching matches the glove in color,
and is in no way conspicuous, but ex-
tremely effective, and is said to make the
hand look more slender. This will be
one of the most popular styles for the
coming season.

A Mathematical Prodigy.

Near Owingsville, Ky, there resides q
man who is indeed "a prodigy. The name
OF this wonderful man is Reuben Fields,
ard he has but one developed faculty,
this orc seeming to take entire possession
of him, driving all other thoughts from
his mind. In early infancy he was APP
parently much as other children, but in
extreme youth he developed a wonderful
precocity, or, rather, supernatural en-.
dowment for mathematics, even then
solving difficult problems with apparent
ease and with but little study. This be-
came a mania with him, and grew as he
grew, to the exclusion of all other
branches of thought, until finally, with
out knowing a single figure or let
ter of the alphabet he be-
came the perfect master of the
science of mathematics. He has been
tested by the most scientific men of this
profession, and the answers to the most
difficult problems that they have been
able to PROFOUND are at his fingers end,
the invariably correct solution being
given in an instant, quicker than
thought
AS an instance of his remarkable pow
ers, he has been known to keep more
than dozen clerks busy in taking in
voice of stock of goods. Indeed, his
knowledge and application of the science
of mathematics far exceed anything that
the most scientific men are able to com
prehend. Another phenomenal charac-
teristic of this man is that he can tell
the time to a second, either day or night.
Awakened from the soundest sleep he
can tell you, without hesitation, precise
" what time it is. What Blind Tom is
to music, Reuben Fields is to mathemat-
les; and, like that illustrious idiot, this
one branch absorbs his entire mental ca.
pacity. Cincinnati Enquirer.

The Telephone Girl.

There had been quiet about the Ex-
change for several weeks, because the
frolcsome telephone girl was off duty.
On Monday morning she resumed her
place at the key board, and when 800
called she was prompt in answering:
"Hello, Pothole, who do you want2''
"Give me the Eceaing Gush, please"
IAN right; here it is.
'''Hello. Is this the GuSh Officer"

city editor politely replied.

"Well, what about her, Mr.. Pot

"Well, there was a loud crash and
looking up observed that the roof had
fallen in and the ruins were envelopcd in

"Do you vouch for this story2" asked
the city editor, and Pothole having been
restored, replied
"You bet! You can use my name in
connection with it if you wish.n
That evening, when poor Pothole was
sitting by his lireside reading his copy Of
the "Gush," his eye fell upon the fol-
lowing item:
"SAD CATAsTRoPHE.- AT Professor
