WARRINGTON, Nov. 26.-It is very prob.
able that ii the dispute and uncertainty
with regard to the next House should con-
tinue up to the time OF the meeting of the
next Congress, it is most likely that the no.
turns of the Clerk, il showing q Demo-
cratic majority. would be disputed, and the
question OF the admission of certain mcm-
bers to their seats be put TO vote Of the
House composed OF members whose cleo
ton is acknowledged. Having been sworn
in, they would properly constitute the
House, with the hold-over Clerk acting MS
chairman, and motions could be made and
voted on. Resolutions could be offered,
declaring this set or that set Of members
entitled 10 take their seats. With tie.
as there might be, excluding the members
whose admission was objected TO, there
would probably be long strug-
GLE Such state OF affairs is
not without precedent in the House.
The returns presented TO the House
by the Clerk as thev are made
to him by the certificates Of election
need not Of necessity be accepted by the
House for the purpose of organization.
There is rather nm odd state Of affairs in
the Tenth Kentucky District, now repre-
sented by Mr.. Taulbce. BY the face Of the
returns, Wilson, Republican, is elected by
clear majority OF 500 or 600. THERE'S no
dispute on that point, and the Governor
will have TO give him the certificate, unless
the courts are induced TO interposc. But
II il claimed 10y the Democrats that frauds
have been perpetraied In three Of the
strong Republican counties, 30 Us 10 in-
crease their majoritics
Speaking OF the matter, Mr.. Taulbeo
told n Star reporter today that inc
had Just received u letter from one
OF tho elections officials stating that
in two Of the counties the increased vote
was extraordinary, aud that Ia one oI
them, where the census which is taken
every fall, showed only $40 voters, Wilson
got, by the returns, u majority OF 700 OF
thcrcabou,s They can always count on
100 Democratic votes in this county, Mr.
Taulbce said. lilo added, however, that

Wilson is not party TO II and knows
nothing about Il, as he knows him 10 be .

DUBLIN, Nov, 26,-Mr. Edward Har-

appear in court today in answer to a sum-

to adopt the plan OF campaign through his
paper, the Kerry Sentinel. His counsel
applied to the court for postponemcnt Of
the case, in order that Mr.. Harrington
could attend the sittings OF the Parncl
Commission in London. The magistrate
refused to grant the application, however,
because the melting continued. A war

WAsniNGroS, NOV. 20. There is n great

something phenomenal. Lctlcn come to

officials say that the suppy will harlly

ton on the part ei officials is that this

minis,ration can pick out their places,

wOrmwood 10 the Democratic officials 10

rmpor,an, supreme cour, opinion.

WAauNGroN, Nov. 26.-Tho Supreme
Court Of the United States rendered an
opinion In case No. o., Henry d. Denny,
plaintiff, In error, W. Charles @. Bennett,
assignee Of A. u. Nannorman & Bro,
In error 10 the Supreme Court Of the
State of Minnesota. Tho principal point
raised In this case Is that an act of the
State legislature, providing that whenever
the property Of debtor is seized by an
execution against him he may make an
assignment Of all his property not exempt
by law for the equal benefit Of all his
creditors who shall hlo releases Of their
debts and claims, and that his property
shall be equally distributed among such
creditors, Is rcpugnant to the Constitution
OF the United States rs far as u affects
citizens Of other States than Minnesota.
Il was claimed by counsel for plaintiff In
error that this statute Is invalid because Il
impaired the obligation Of contracts. aud
also that II could have no extra territorial
operation, and could not therefore, be- bind
ing on creditors living In different State
from that OF tho debtor. The Supreme
Court, In an opinion by Justice Miller,
holds that the statute Is not fcpugnant 10
the Constitution. In iis opinion tho court
SAYS that tho statute could not Of course
apply 10 contracts in existence before II
was enacted. but that the statute must bo
construed 10 be- a part Of all contracts made
after Il was enacted, and that therefore Il
canno, be called an impairment Of tho
| contracts
The iudgmcn, Of the Supreme Court Of
Minnesota holding the statute 10 be valid
WAS. therefore, affirmed.

There is feeling in every man S
breast which urges him to protect
the weaker sex u do not say it
is weaker, but we are taught so-at
the expense of his own comfort and
to ward off danger even at the ex-
pense of his own life if necessary. A
man will resent an insult to woman
far soouer than one directed at him
self, and | honor the boy in round
abouts who defends with his fists the
girl playmate with whom he divides
his apples and candy and whose
dinner pail he carries to and from
school. Encourage this tendency to
IS stand up for women" 1t is the
grandest human impulse in a man
and instead of being laughed down
ought to be carefully nourished and
properly trained.
Mothers, teach your boys to be
courteous to you, and cause them to
understand that their sisters come
first in everything regarding comfort
and enjoyment. You are laying the
foundation OF happiness for some
future sweetheart and bride. There
are numberless little attentions which
ought to be taugh. to each boy, and
though it may seem hard now later
In life, your son will thank you for it
and the young wife will bless you all
her life.-Be1tha, IN Mez0 York Mail
and Express.

SOMETHING TO TEACH THE BOYS.

All mothers have it in their power
to so mould their boys natures as
to largely determine their future ac-
ton in all places. A well-bred,
courteous boy or young man may be
said to be almost rarity. By this
| mean one who is so in all places
and under all circumstances. OF
course the boy will lift his hat and
step aside for the beautiful, we'll
dressed wife or daughter of yonder
millionaire-he Considers it an honor
as far as it goes; but it is rather the
Difference to wealth, power, position,
which these ladies represent that he
yields. He recognizes it as essential,
tor selfish reasons largely, to give
this sign of Difference and respect.
The true test Of boy or young
man is among the lowly poor-the
women clothed in rags, covering
before the blasts and shrinking from
the gaze of unfeeling eyes. Even
the meeting with one of these can
not be said to be a complete test, for
any young man can be polite when
there are no eyes to see him. But let
some othis high (?)bred, finely dressed
lady @ or gentleman (?) friends be
with him or be in sight. Will he
then turn aside to aid one of these
poor fortunates, or will he merely
assume not to see the difficulty and
pass on? If the former, he is true
man, if the later, his heart is cold
and selfish, and he will develop into
a disagreeable, selfish man, caring
for no one but himself.
Mothers, it is your duty to teach
your boys to respect woman, whether
clothed in rags or in velvet. 1t is a
manly feeling which prompts young
man to give up his seat in crowded
Car or boat to woman, and it should
not matter what her dress is. Manly
politeness never sees the dress but,
rather, looks to the woman beneath
as a representative of the sex to
whom he loves to do honor.

A NEW YORK SHOP GIRL.
Her Days Record OF Cheerfulness, Patience
and sweet Temper.

A woman VINO had occasion to pur-
chase household furnishings there lately
tells this story to her friends: II went
down into basement where they kept
these things and l wanted more things
than l could begin to enumerate, even
to myself, all the way from a rolling pin
to a refrigerator-ranglng through but
ter plates, stove lids and waste baskets.
Well, just put myself into the hands
of nice girl with dark hair and a kind
countenance, who looked so delight
fully capable and self reliant that con-
fded to her l wanted to furnish a flat
and didn't half know what l ought to
purchase. You see,' 1 said, 1 never
furnished house before, and it's so
confusing to have to buy pillows and
fiat irons and kitchen clocks. They
always seemed just to be there like the
walls of the house or the sunlight, and
l get all mixed up when l try to re-
member what people ought to have
when they begin life in one of those
dreadfully empty new flats. know l
ought to buy pepper box, and a wash
board, and curtain poles, but what
else -
"That girl had kind heart, and was
too clever and sensible for anything.
She gave me one comprehensive glance,
and went and fetched printed list that
was made especially for young house
keepers, and has on 1t the name of
everything they could by any possibility
be likely to want tor the dining room,
kitchen and laundry. Then she sat
down on one pantry step ladder and l
on another, and she read over each
thing and checked it off If thought l
wanted it. After that she took me to
the front of the shop, got out huge
clothes basket and began to show me
samples of each thing we had marked
off-seventy IN all there were. She
knew exactly where each and every one
of those seventy things were kept and
the prices of all three grades of every
one.
"As soon as l would make my selec-
ton she would put it in the basket, and
in one hour l had filled the whole list,
had the bill and paid it. Then she
told me where to get everything else l
needed and just what it cost and what
counter l could find it at and the best
sort of goods to buy for my purpose.
As far as house furnishing goods were
concerned, l found she carried every
single detail of that vast establishment
in her head. 1 did't qustion her con-
cerning clothes, but l am convinced
she could have dressed me from top to
toe and then sent me to the book coun-
ter and selected the literature best suited
to the caliber of my intellect. She had
been on her feet since s o'clock work
ing hard all the while, pulling down
goods, carrying them about, making up
peoples minds for them. being contin-
ually crowded and jostled and asked
four hundred thousand questions on as
many different subjects, and yet at 3
O'Clock, when l left her, she was gentle
civil, obliging and ready to do anything
ashed of her, with apparently as much
interest in getting the things for my
house as had myself. l doubt if there
are many women in the upper world of
New York who could show much
days record of cheerfulness, patience
and sweet temper."-We7O York World
