stitution. which provides :

| stItutlOn, which provides
That Congress shall have power etc
make all laws which shall be necessary anc
proper for carrying into execution the fore
going powers" etc. Therefore, if the
States shall have performed their duty and
exercised the general power of regulating
| the question, the contingency upon
will not have occurred. In case a
State shall have neglected to enact
laws for the election of Congressman
by it's people, or shall have enacted laws in
hostility the General Government, either to
deprive its people of representation in
Congress or to prevent that right from be-
ing exercised ia a reasonable manner and
at proper times, then Congress is permitted
to intervene and to establish regulations
which will secure such representation to
the people of such State.
What was given to Congress as tie law
making power of the Government in this
case was defensive power against State
hostility or negligence by which popular
representation would fail, and the necessary
pewer of the Federal Government would be
impaired or paralyzed for a want of rep.
resentation in the House.
This view of the Constitution is not mere
matter of opinion begotten by the necessi-
ties of debate, nor novel view introduced
to support foregone conclusion dictated
by party interest or passion. 1t is view
supported by the most decisive proofs
drawn from the history of our country at
the time of the making of the Constitution
and the organization of the Government of
the United States.
In most Of the States opposition was
made to the ratification of the Constitution
H. c1l4 Al 4, =
provision was liable to perverted and
dangerous construction, extending nation
al power to interference with State elec-
tions. In other words, those opponents ap-
premndeadeeffr dedef the yeTyS6Ise yaTy S6TIse of construc-
ton which is embodied and illustrated by
this bill, but the fiiends of the Constitution
met them in debate and gave to this provis-
ion the construction above stated, vindica-
satisfactory reasoning which convinced our
fathers and ought to convince US.
Without considering the questions upon
the construction of this provision of the
Constitution which have been heretofore
debated in Congress and considered by
commentators upon constitutional law, re-
lating to the manner and extent to which
Congress may act in case of State default
or hostile action, we are prepared to say
that this bill is plainly unconstitutional be-
cause the States have not failed 10 pass laws
for the representation of their people in
Congress, nor made laws hostile to such
representation and to the Government of
the United States in connection Herewith.
On the contrary their legislation upon this
subject by the States has been apparently
enacted in good faith to this Government
and to their own people.

IN THE COUNTRY.

He sat within his office in the city's busy
mart
And thought this very happy thought: ITO
morrow I'll depart
For quiet country places where the scenes that
greet me here
And all the city noises shall be lost to eye and
ear.
Away with all this ceaseless stir, am weary
of the strife,
Oh, what pleasure it would be to lead a farm
er's life!
I'll spend my weeks vacation in the country
fresh and free,
Its verdant fields and solitudes are just the
thing for me-"
He climed up in the old BARNS NOW to feed
the horses hay,
And thought this very happy thought: ITO
morrow I'll away
From all this dull monotony and dreary
stretch of green.
I'm going to the city where there's something
to be seen.
Why must all my weary days plod one pro-
siac round?
Oh, I would dwell where busy hands in-multi-
tudes abound
I'll spend my weeks vacation in the city's
throb bing heart
Of which did fortune favor me I'd be an active
part"
Each went to the desired place, but very
strange to say,
Each one before thu week was up was glad to
come away.
They found each others joys of white were
flecked with shades of black,
Though each were glad to go, yet both were
gladder to get back.

"In May last, my youngest child,
fourteen months old, began to have sores
gather on its head and body. We ap.
piled various simple remedies without
avail. The sores increased in number
and discharged copiously. A physician
was called, but the sores continued to
multiply until in a few months they
nearly covered the child's head and body.
At last we began the use of Ayers Sar-
saparilla. In a few days O marked
change for the better was manifest. The
sores assumed more healthy condition,
the discharges were gradually dimin-
ished, and finally ceased altogether.
The child is livelier, its skin is fresher,
and its appetite better than we have OBJ
served for months. Frank NJ. Griffin,

Congressman John Allen recently told an
amusing war story. 1t occurred upon some
battlefield in the South, where South
Carolina brigade had charged federal works
and had been driven back. The works were
afterwards captured by Mississippi bri-
gade. They had fairly established them
selves in the intrenchments, when South
Carolina captain, who had followed them,
sprang upon the parapet and waved his
sword above his head. He was very small
man, weighing not more than hundred
pounds. In a piping voice he shouted:

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-Representa-
tive Carter of Montana today reported to
the house from the committee on mines
and mining a bill to provide for the exam
nation and classification of certain min
eral lands. 1t authorizes the secretary Of
the interior to speedily cause all lands in
Montana and Idaho, within the land
grant aud the indemnity land grant limits
of the Northern Pacific Railroad compa-
ny, to be examined and classified by com
petent persons with special reference to
their mineral and non mineral character,
and to reject, cancel and disallow any and
all claims or filings heretofore made, or
which may hereafter be made by or on
behalf Of the railroad company on land in
those states classified as mineral land. The
word mineral shall not be held to include
iron or coal. The bill also provides for
appeals from the findings ofthe examiners,
and for such publicity of classification re-
turns as will give notice to all persons of
the conclusions reached with regard to
each tract Of land. The committee thinks
that with this publicity, and with the
right of appeal, it cannot be maintained
that property interests may be disposed of
under the bill without due process of
law. Some $50, 600 are appropriated to
carry out the provisions oil the bill.

A Pretty woman in ouesr,on.

LONDON, Aug. lS.-For some days
London has been entertained by another
highly spicei divorce case, which has well
illustrated the accepted truth that where
a pretty woman is in question a large
majority of men are fools. This par.
lcular case. Just decided, which has been
aptly christened ''The story of a lady and
two captains began in that trystiEg place
of easy virtue, the Darlington Arcade,
where a certain Capt. Lyon Of the life
guards met without introduction a fas-
c~inating lady who called herself Mrs.
Stanhope. and who turned out to be the
mistress of another and wealthier captain
named Warner.
Capt. Lyon-unaffected by this little
detail, as well as the fact that the fair OBJ
iect of his affections had peen leading an
immoral life since she was sweet sixteen
offered himself in marriage and was
accepted, But here, as it always does,
came in the financial question. She
now Mrs. Capt. Lyon, well pleased at
having thus received the stamp of re-
spectability-looked with less complacency
upon giving up the $4,000 or $4,000 that
| Capt. Warner had allowed her; SO she set
her wits to solving the difficult problem
OF having her cake and eating it-that is,
of combining the rich captains gold with
the poor captains matrimonial con
cessions.
This she succeeded in doing. but
whether with the knowledge of the poor
captain is a question which is being ex-
sa-,.rAl,, ,vo-.l-tol -. H. ~rNAAnI.-.l
What brought matters to a crisis was the
action Of a certain tradesman named Pick
EFT who, in the short space of eight
mouths, had catered to Mrs. Lyons
| vanity to the extent of 81, 900 worth of
dresses. Mr.. Pickett had been paid on
previous occasions by Capt. Warner and
these particular dresses were entered to
his account, Pickett not having heard OF
the marriage with Lyon. He at first
brought SUIT against Warner, but failed
to recover the money, and then sued Lyon.
Mrs. Stanhope, OF Warner. or Lyon,
tried to help the costumer as well as her
paramour by asserting that her husband
knew of the bill she was running up and
told her to make Warner pay it. She fur
Their declared that Capt. Warner continued
his relations with her since her marriage
and that Capt. Lyon. her husband, was
perfectly well aware of this state of affairs
and encouraged her in order that he might
profit by the money she got from Warner.
This was conclusively shown from her
own letters, apart from two denials of
Lyon on oath. A lie more or less would
not mako much difference to a lady of
Mrs. Spencer ~Stanhope's character and
turn Of mind, at any rate.
The jury. as a whole, did not believe
this shameless story, although one of the
number seems TO have taken the usual
view that a tradesman ought to get his
money, if not from the right person then
from any one who came first. On that
theory he stood out and consequently there
was a disagreement, but the judge yes
terday evening ordered a verdict for the
defendant and there can be no doubt that
Mr.. Lyon stands exonerated from every
charge but that of having previously
mismanaged his wife; for hat offence he
has had and will still have to suffer bit
terly.

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 1s.-George A.
Taylor, an express messenger on the Kan
sas City branch of the Chicago & Alton
Railway, had athrilling experience with
a pair O wildcats last night. The beasts
were consigned to the Geological Garden
in this city from a point 10 the Indian
Territory. and the box in which they were
imprisoned was rather shaky when turned
over to Taylor in Kansas City. While
the train was speeding along sixty miles
west of Kansas City one of the cats broke
out The express messenger seized a
piece of tarpaulin that was hanging in tie
car, aud this saved him from the claws Of
the cat. The animal sprang on him -four
times, but struck the tarpaulin and was
finally knocked out with q blow from an
iron pipe. Taylor jumped cut of the car
at the first station and the animal was
finally chased into his cage and fastened
up. Taylor was not injured.
