OnIv an amateur.

We were having a good time in St.

question of sslfdefensc came up to be ar
eued by-half dozen. different persons
Among then. was man from Cincinnati,
who contended that gentleman ought
always to be able to thrash a mudsiil'
provided the latter would make a tair
scrape of it. Two or three opposed tins
theory, iand to prove isthe Cincinnaiian
offered to strip while a committee went out
to pick up a victim. II was committee
of one. and went out upon the street
and picked up my man baphazard He
was going pas with bundle under his
arm. and / said To him;
"WHl YOU come i'm and box a man five
or six rounds for So ~

"No. only an amateur
"Tm your huckleberry.
He was plasterer and had some Of
his tools in his bundle. He got ready
without seeming to care who his opponent
was to be, and as they entered the ring It
was seen that they were about even IN
size and weight. Time was called, and
the fun began. Il didn't last long, how
ever Inside of two minutes the plaster
er planted a straight right-hander ON che
others nose, which hoored him and kept
him ON his back for sixty seconds.
"Is that.all p" calmly inquired the p-as-
terer as he took off the gloves.
'Yes. Here's your money.
Thanks. Good night
When the Cincinnatian came 20 aud
got his nose repaired he sat for long
time wondering how it all came about
sg"Can YOU explain it, he was finally
asked.

"Wen, / can,
What is it?'
"He was a mudsill all right enough,

Some important proceedings of the recent
constitutional conventions in Mississippi and
Kentucky have been obscured by the great
prominence which the negro question as
sumed In the Mississippi convention. But
10 each of those conventions an interesting
attack was made upon the old Dartmouth
College decision of the United States Su-
preme Court In Mississippi. Senator George
one Of the ablest lawyers in the Senate, at
tackled the old decision; and in Kentucky
the assailant was ex Governor Knott
Though decided many years ago and out of
the minds of people Of this time, except for
Its connection with the memory of Daniel
Webster, the decision of the United States
court in the case Is one of the most import
ant ever made and one that continues an
actual force in the everyday business affairs
OF the present time. The Dartmouth COL
lege case was long and complicated, en-
tangled with the politics Of the day and asso-
ciated with mems party prejudices for years
after it was decided. Its history would fill a
volume; but in brief the issue was this. The
legislature Of the State of New Hampshire
attempted to interfere in the management of
Dartmouth college, which was managed un-
der charter granted before New Hampshire
became a State. Settled adversely to the
college in the courts of New Hampshire it
was taken to the Supreme Court of the
United States, where an opinion was asked
rs to the right of the State of New Hamp-
shire, under the constitution of the United
States, to interfere with the contract implied
In the old charter. Few more famous cases
ever came before the Supreme Court. 1t had
gotten into politics. and the Federalists were
on the side of the College and the Democrats
on the side of the New Hampshire Legisla-
ture. Daniel Webster and Joseph Hopkin-
son. an able Philadelphia lawyer, managed
the case for the college, and John Holmes of
Maine and Attorney General Writ appeared
for the State of New Hampshire. Henry
Cabot Lodge, In his life of Webster, says
that Holmes, ian active, fluent, Democratic
politician, made noisy, rhetorical, political
speech. which pleased his opponents and dis
gusted his clients and their friends" while
Writ, loaded with business cares, came into
court uDprepaTed. What Webster did when
the turn of the friends Of the college came, is
historic, both for its logic, its pathos and its
skillful and uDobtrusive but tremendously
effective appeal to the party spirit of the old
Federalist Chief Justice Marshall. The de-
cision of the court laid down the doctrine
that charter is an irrepealable contract;
and that decision has become bulwark of
the great corporations that have since risen
In this country, although the progress of leg
islation has in measure neutralized Its eff
feet. Mississippi and Kentucky have been
the latest States to attack the prestige of the
old decision in their constitutional conven-
lions.
