After years of effort to induce congress
to do something to relieve the United
States Supreme court of some Of the work
under which it's docket is swamped, the
senate has finally passed bill which pro-
vides for the appointment of an additional
Circuit judge. In each circuit, a Circuit
Court of Appeals is created, to consist of
three judges, and which is to be a court of
record with appellate jurisdiction. A term
is to be held annually by the Circuit
Court of Appeals in the several judicial
circuits at the following places: In the
first circuit, in the city of Boston; second,
circuit, in New York; third circuit, Phila-
delphia; fourth circuit, Richmond; fifth
circuit, New Orleans; sixth circuit, Gin
cinnati; seventh circuit, Chicago; eighth
circuit, st. Louis; ninth circuit, San Fran
cisco, and in such other places in each of
the above circuits as said court may from
time to time designate. The first terms of
said courts are to be held on the second
Monday in January, 1891, and thereafter
at such times as may be fixed by said
courts. Appeals or writs of error may be
taken from the District courts or from the
existing Circuit courts direct to the Su-
preme court in the following cases: In any
case in which the jurisdiction of the court
is in issue, and in such cases the question
of jurisdiction alone shall be certified to
the Supreme court from the court below
for decision; from the final sentences and
DEGREES in prize causes; in cases of con-
viction of capital or otherwise infamous
crime; in any case that involves the con-
struction or application of the Constitu-
ton of the United States; in any case in
which the constitutionality of any law Of
the United States, or the validity or con-
struction of any treaty made under itf
authority, is drawn in question; in any
case in which the Constitution or law of 6
State is claimed to be in contravention oi
the Constitution of the United States
Unfortunately, this bill will have to &c
to the house for consideration, and there
fore there is not much chance that it vii
become a law this year. Perhaps, how
ever, it will some year.

A sURPRIsING CHANGE.

/
Thirty years ago many of the people Of
this country thought that the negro was
not really a human being He was owned
and worked and whipped to death. It
was considered dangerous to allow him to
learn to read. And great care was taken
that he should not get any idea that he had
any rights in this world except to be
owned and worked and whipped. But a
change has taken place, SO great q change
that it is not easy to realize it. Rev. DR..
William Gray of Washington, who has
been making careful census of the intel
lectual progress of the black men, says
that there are 10000 colored teachers pre-
siding in southern school rooms.
with over 100000 scholars bene-
fitting by the instruction. There are
1900 colored pupils in male and female
high schools Sixty normal schools, fifty
colleges and universities and twenty-five
theological seminaries were all well at
tended, indeed, crowded. There are col
ored schools and colleges dotted all over
northern States as well, but in most
northern States the black children enjoy
the same privileges as those of white
parents. DR.. Gray, sproof of what these
educational facilities are doing toward the
intellectual development of his race, pre-
sents figures to show that colored men in
the southern States pay taxes of $780,
000, 600,
These are really astonishing facts. Peo-
pie who can make such great and rapid
progress as this will ultimately get all the
rights they are entitled to.

levels, and that the structure illustrated at
least four different styles of architecture.
This is seen in the massive Roman arch
with its ample, square sides; the deep
splayed and always impressive Saxon arch;
the pillared and intersected Norman arch:
and the early English pointed arch. The
church was originally in the form of q
cross with short transepts, and q small
but exquisitely decorated choir, while the
interior was divided by light and graceful
colonnades into a central space and side
aisles; OF the transepts a portion of but
one, the north, called st. Mary's aisle, Is
still standing; but there is a no more beau
tiful specimen of the early Gothic to be
found in Scotland than Is this, the solemn
and secluded burial-place of ScotiA's great
est minstrel, the noble author of sswayer-
"" The chapter-house, tiny chapel of
st. Modan, a Norman arch which formed
the western doorway, are yet standing.
A stately yew, over eight hundred years
old, still stands upon the lawn, opposite
where once the abbots sat at their parlor
easements, to mock the huge pile of stone
as it crumbles into the earth.
You feel more than you can see at Dry
burgh. The whole place is instinct with
repose. The horizon is close, not a half
mile away in any direction. 1t is fringed
with the boughs and verdure of sheltering
trees, save where, far to the south, the
Eildons pser down from above their cloud
mists into the sunny copse. The Tweed,
moving in silence for miles above, here
sweeps wide and grandly over cleaning
shadows, and sings its endless song just
at the edge of the abbey. You come to
the place through hushed and silent ave-
nue., ankle-deep in the spring-time with
hawthorn blossoms white as snow. In
these graying days their place is filed by
the browns and puces of rustling drift
from the beach, elm and sycamore. Only
the lodge-keeper's habitation reminds of
earthly activities. Nature alone holds
sway. Bloom and birds, grasses and
vines, odor and song, russet walls and
emerald masses of moss, oriels of ivy, fl
let's of vines, pointed arches of roses,
| towers of trees leaping from the old walls
| themselves, reach the eye and sense ten
derly, slumberously, pulsing with hush
and balm. Melrose exalts. Dryburgt
soothes. The entire spot is ruin merged
into Elysium, hallowed by one humbl,
grave. And so sweet and hushed is al
that even your reverence for the ever-si
lent disappears; for you feel that you
| mighty friend lies here as on the bosom o
the land he so loved and immortalized
and, that Scott only sleeps while sweetl-
all nature-songs to him are sung.

it one of the disquallify fying offenses, but it
was promptly rejected without debate.
& A good story is told about camp-meet-
ing at Fremont, Nebraska. After the SER
mon the customary invitation was given
for all who wanted to go to heaven to rise
up. All present rose to their feet except
one young man who sat back pretty well
on the outskirts of the audience. Those
who desired to go to heaven sat down.
Then all those who wanted to go to hell
were requested rise to their feet, and the
aforesaid young man was eyed with good
deal of interest. Still he sat as quiet and
composed as stone. The minister went
to him and asked him why he did not rise
in either instance. "Wall," replied the
husky son of toll, ''I don't want to go any
whar. Fremont's good ernuff fer me-"
And the preacher wended his way back to
the altar, and sitting down on the mourn
ers' bench leaned over and tied his shoe.
A practical appreciation of the study of
theoretical meteorology is given in a mem
orandum lately prepared by John Eliot,
meteorological reporter to the government
of India, "on the snowfall in the noun
tain districts in northern India and At
ghanistan" during the first five months of
this year. The records of previous years
have shown that when the cold weather
snowfall in the Himalaya is heavy, the
succeeding summer monsoon is delayed in
its arrival and is apt to be weak when il
comes; the summer rains are consequently
late and light, the crops fail, and famine
results in the densely populated peninsula
But if the winter SHOWS are light in the
mountains, the rise of temperature in the
hot season is earlier and stronger, tht
rainy simmer monsoon comes sooner an6
is more powerful, and all goes well-or al
well as it can with an ignorant population
of hundred millions or SO. Mr.. Elliott
recent memorandum shows that the noun
tain SHOWS of 1890 have been distinctl,
less heavy that usual, and he therefor
anticipates favorable season for crop

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The story of the Coney Island brake
man who bought a horse for $500, won a
race, and refused $4,000 for his flyer,
has been brought to close by the news
that the horse has gone lame and that the
brakeman has lost his money and gone
back to work again. His lucky purchase
won $50, 600 for him in the course of
year, but the bookmakers subsequently
got it all. Such is life.
1t will be seen how dangerous it may be
for untidy children to scratch each other,
through the report of seventy-eight exam
nations of the impurities under finger
nails recently made in the archaeological
laboratories of Vienna. The cultivation
produced showed "thirty-six kinds of
micrococci, eighteen baccilli, three sarcin@
and various varieties; the spores of COM
mon mold were very frequently present" !"
India rubber pavement is receiving q
trial in Brussels. They call it 'caoutchouc
macadam" and are laying it on a portion of
one of their boulevards. 1t is described as
a mixture of India rubber with different
kinds of stones in certain proportions
ground up together and applied hot. Its
merits are said to be that it is hard and
elastic, very durable, noiseless, and not lia-
BILE either to become soft in summer or to
crack in winter. This promises to be the
ideal street pavement.
A suit whose outcome will be awaited
with much interest is in progress in Phila-
delphia. Lewis ]. Levick, of the firm Of
Crew, Levick & Co., brings an action
against the Pennsylvania Railroad company
under the nti-discrimination act to recove,
$S16, ,345. He alleges that the defendant, g
common carrier, charged thirteen cents
more per barrel for carrying Crew, Levici
& Co. oil than for carrying that of another
and rival shipper. This favored rival ii
understood to be the Standard Oil com
pany.
