full bench can be present. Several years ago John O'Neil, wholesale liquor dealer, used to ship rum into Vermont from New York State on order, sending it by express to be paid for at delivery. He was arrested on charge of selling liquor in the State contrary to law, and was convicted. The Vermont Supreme court affirmed his sentence, holding that the express company was only the agent of O'Neil, and that the sales were made in Vermont. Against the contention of bis counsel the court held that no interference with the interstate commerce powers of the federal government was attempted, but that Vermont was exercising the ordinary police powers of the State.
 The connection between Church and State in England gives rise to some complicated affairs. A Mrs. Swayne presented herself for the communion in the parish of minister named Benson, who refused to admit her to it, on the ground that she was guilty of schism in having taken sitting in Meth odist church. Being asked whether he con- sidered schism to be the equivalent of s'open and notorious evil Hving," he said he did. Mrs. Swayne appealed to the bishop, who fol- lowed the legal course of procedure by ap- pointing commission to report the facts. The commission heard both sides and found there was no dispute about the facts. All attempts at compromise failed, Mrs. Swayne's offence all the while growing more hideous in Mir. Benson's eyes. The case was then sent in due course to the Court of Arches, where he was ordered to admit Mrs. Swayne to the communion. Still refusing, he was suspended from his parish for one year, and a curate sent to take his place. He locked the church door against the curate and continued his manifestations. He will now go to jail for contumacy.

Ships will soon be carried on a railroad from the Northumberland Strait at the mouth of the St. Lawrence to the Ray of Fundy. This way of avoiding the circuit of the pen- insula of Nova Scotia will save five hundred miles. The length of the railroad between the strait and the bay is seventeen miles. The work of grading is already finished and the road is ready for the track, which will be laid in the spring. The steel rails will be much heavier than those used on ordinary railroads, weighing one hundred and ten pounds to the yard. The cradle supporting the ship in transit will run on four tracks and will be drawn by two locomotives abreast, like other locomotive engines in construction, but much heavier and more powerful. The ship to be transported will be foated upon the cradle, raised to the level -oG-sas~-s ~a-yas~.saaoT Trowur, urawn across the isthmus and set af1oat again, ready to resume her voyage, in two hours and a half, as the railroad people believe. The charges authorized by the act of incorpora- tion are fifty cents @ ton for cargo and twenty-five cents ton for the weight of the vessel, somewhat high rate, 1t seems, for a saving of five hundred miles in an ocean voyage. If this rate does not attract busi- ness, however, and lower rate will not pay, the company is secure for the present, as an income yielding little more than three per cent. on the capital of five and half millions is guaranteed by the dominion government.
 If this scheme works we'll, and there is every reason to think it will, other similar schemes will soon be in operation. We may yet see ships carried from San Francisco to New York and from New York to San Fran- nfu

HOW TO LIVE WITHOUT WORK.

HOW TO LIVE WITHOUT WORK.
 A new opportunity for speculation seems to be offered by 8 decision of an English court. The case came before Lord Justices Colton and Fury on an appeal from court sitting in London which had granted alimony to Mrs. Lister on her receiving decree of divorce. In such cases alimony is presumed to be granted as recompense for the protec- tion and support husband gives to his wife. The payment of alimony has stopped when the divorced woman married again. In the case under consideration the woman married, but continued to demand alimony from her former husband. AS he declined to pay it, suit was brought to recover it. The judges decided that he must continue to pay alimony. .and dismissed his suit for relief and costs. He must now work and save to sup port his former wife and her new husband, while the latter can retire from business and live in idleness and luxury, if the amount of alimony is sufficient.
 If this is good law we may expect lively hunt for divorced women who can collect alimony from their former husbands. But the decision is great discourager of mar- riaQe.

AsrOUNDED THE DOWAGER.
An American Glrl in St. Petersburg
 Asserts Her Independence.

An American Glrl in Ss. Petersburg
 Asserts Her Independence.
 From the Washington Postl
 The following is a narrative of an inci- dent which occurred in St. Petersburg some years ago. The American lady concerned is the daughter of prominent public benefac- tor. has for years been a social leader in Washington, is the wife of . leading Repub- lican statesman and would be recognized in- stantly if her name might be mentioned. The half dozen initiates will remember the incident now published by the Post.
 A grand reception was in progress at the palace of high Russian dignitary. Nsm- bers of the Cabinet, generals of the army. Grand dukes, the nobility of the empire and the diplomatic corps wore present. It was a notable affair. Four young ladies-three Russian and one American-had gathered into a little mock screened in palms, and were discussing in French the dowdy ap- pearance of high court lady. Some eaves- dropper caught their remarks and bore them to the criticised lady. She in turn in- iignantly reported the conversation to no- ble duchess, who held the peculiar office of ssmistress of etiquette" She retired to a private room and had the four culprits sum- moned before her. They appeared, the Russ sian girls in fear and trembling, the Ameri- can calm and lf-posssssed.
 ssYoung ladies, !" said she, lyon have been commenting diacourtsously upon the person. al appearance of Lady -. You have committed 8 grave breach of etiquette, and 1t h my duty as court mistress of etiquette ts punish you. Olga, your slipper."
 The trembling Olga took of her slipper, and meekly received sound punishment of the sort confined in America exclusively to
 s.Katia,i it Is your turn. Give me your slip- perip said the inexorable duenna, a the weeping Olga arose from her castigation. tions, and Tania followed the suffering Katia.
 All the while the American girl watched and waited. The indignities thrust upon her companions reused the Hail Columbia in her. Her eyes flashed and her little fists clsnched with excitement.
 "It is your turn now," said the mistress of etiquette to the fair American, "your slips per, please"
 Colunbia's blood was up. There was fighting stock back of her for generations. She removed her slipper and drew near, but she held the slipper by the toe. At proper range she swung the missile and struck the old lady in the mouth fearful clip. Then she sailed in. Lacss, feathers and furbelows flew. Finger nails fetched blood. Gray hairs and the St. Petersburg fashions of 1863 filled the air.
 The screams of the thoroughly frightened mistress ot etiquette brought crowd. The door was battered down. The three Russian 1 girls were screaming in their respective cor ners. The old lady was hors du combat, and

 The mistress of etiquette fairly screamed with impotent rage. showered maledictions in broken French, German and Russian upon her conqueror, and demanded that the most condign punishment be meted out to her. The matter was carried to the Czar. Nicho- las made pretense of punishing the young lady by issuing some order against her ap- bearing at any ball for certain period, but the old iiberator was immensely tickled. upon the American-beautiful slippers of every kind and description, silver slippers and gold slippers, and finally wound up by sending her hair dagger set with diamonds.

Paint from potatoes is new wrinkle in the arts and sciences. Kuhlow's Trade Review gives the manner of preparation. Boil kilo of peeled potatoes in water; after mashing, dilute with water and pass through fine sieve. Add two kilos of Spanish white diluted with four kilos of water, and the res suit will be color of beautiful milk white. Different colors can be effected by the addi- tien of different ochres or minerals. Apply with brush; it adhsres to plaster and wood very well, will not peel, and, best of all, is cheap.
 The offer by the Mexican government to negro colonists from the United States Is a generous one. If within three years 1000 negro colonists have settled in Mexico it will permit the colonization of 2,000 more for ten years. They will be granted special privileges as soon as they occupy Mexican territory, the most important of which are exemption from military duty and the right to free importations and expectations. As the Mexicans themselves are the worst taxed people in the world the free trade permitted the negro colonists will make them an espec. ially favored class. They are certain to fare better than the natives, who are impover- ished by heavy taxes.
