rastrolitc, a gem peculiar to Michigan. "The
only place in the world where it is found he
says, sis Isle Royale Lake Superior. This
island, belonging to the state of Michigan,
forty miles long, five miles wide and about
twenty miles from the mainland, is composed
OF alnygdaloid trap, in the almond shaped

Sad sad their lot, who know not aught of love
Who know not passions tears and sunny smiles,
But drift adown the coast of barren aisles,
Nor landing make i'll some Scquestered grove.
Yet sadder they whose longing lips eer prest
The dainty mouth of one to them most dear
Who In fond arms have never yet found rest,
But agonizng wait the bliss so near
rarest joy.O uliss more than divine.
Our mutual love-it never matched hath been!
So deep, intense. the world hath never seen.
So wild and strong-my own sweet Love,
My fond eyes gaze into thine own, dear pet;
They searching look thriAs and fills me yet.

UNIFIED STATES COURT.

WASHINGTON, Nov 5-The supreme
court of the United States today heard ar
gument IN two cases of interest to Pro-
hibitionists and steamboat men viz: Nos.
LIS and ,119, Lewis n. Clarke, plaintiff,
in error, VS.. The Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania. Clarke, who was master of the
excursion steamer Mayfiower. running be-
tween Pittsburg and Mckees rocks, was
convicted of violation OF the law of Penn
sylvania, prohibiting the sale of liquor
without a license and was sentenced to inn
prisonment. Application for a writ of
habeas corpus was refused by Justices
Harlan and Bradley of the supreme court
and the cases We're then brought to the
full supreme court. 1t is claimed in be-
half of the plaintiff in error that the state
law was not meant to apply TO steamboats,
engaged in navigation, that the effect
of the law would be to
prohibit the sale of liquor on board and
not regulate it, az stated by action; that
unless the law is held not to apply to
steamboats,, vessels with barrOoms will be
