A VERY interesting question is to be
brought before the Supreme Court of the
United States, by the National Religious
| Liberty Association. Mr.. r. NJ. King, OF
.nerous sect of strict Christians who believe
that the seventh day of the week should be
He therefore keeps Saturday with the great
est strictncss, but goes about his teamwork
as usual on Sunday. Last March his scan
| dalized neighhors bad him arrested, con-
victed and fined, under the laws Of Tennes-
| see Furnishing the performance Of ordinary
labor on the Sabbath. The Religious Lib
erty Association has induced him to appeal
TO the Supreme Court, and viii aid him in
carrying the case through. The ruling of
the Supreme Court will be awaited with
great interest. for Ii must be confessed it
has knotty point to determine. Substan-
TALLY everybody, Christians, Jews, Mahom-
etans and Agnostics, admit that ii is of the
highest importance that one day of the week
shall be kept as day of rest. Those who
do not accept this on religious grounds, do
30 on scientific, sanitary, economical and
moral bases. Mr.. Kings lawyers viii doubt
less make the point that neither Congress
nor any Legislature has the authority for
any secular reason to prohibit any citizen
from following his usual vocation, in an
orderly, lawful manner, every day in the
year. Not having the authority for secu-
lar reason, IL cannot have it for religious
reason, since the Constitution prohibits any
thing savoring of religious legislation. Fur
thermore, they will say. if the legislation Is
admitted to have o religious basis, Mr. King
has just as much right to select his day for
observing as the Sabbath as other religion
lists have for selecting theirs. Against this
it will be argued that the observance of the
Sabbath as day of rest is not a matter Of
religion, but of well established public pol
icy; that to be really day of rest its OBJ
servanoe must be universal; one-haif or
three-qnnrters of the community would be
deprived of much of their rest, if the other
half or quarter persist in working; that this
is a matter within the police power of the
States, and that Mr. King while he has an
entire right to follow the dictates of his con-
science as TO the day he will observe, must
not interfere with the general observance of
another day by the mass of his fellow-citi-
be against hi IN.

SUBSTITUTES.

After all, how many substitutes were therep
The soIdier-hating papers would make it
appear that large proportion of the army
and Of the veterans who still survive were
substitutes. The report of the Provost Mar
shal-General shows that the six New England
States sent 375, 131 men into the field, of
whom but 21,613, or ono ia every Is, were
substitutes. Pennsylvania, New Jersey
and New York sent altogether Old, ,164
men, of whom 1886, or nearly one in 10,
were substitutes. The Western States
and Territories sent 1,O9s,O88 soldiers, of
whom but 23,75O, or one in a. were sub
stitutes. Tens Of thousands Of these substi-
tutes were just as patriotic soldiers as the
army had, and fought just rs bravely. They
were men who had wives, children or
mothers and sisters dependent upon them,
and did not want to go into the army with

WHAT helped TO greatly embarrass the
Government in getting money at the out
break OF the war was that the practical free
trade which the Southern leaders had inn
posed upon the country had drained il of
most of the gold which had been dug in
such lavish quantities from the mines of
California In his report for 1861 the eecre.
tary of the Treaaury-Hon. s. +. Chase
said:
From the most reliable data obtalnabie, esti-
mate the amount of specie Ia tho United States at
the date Of this report, October. 1861 at from S275-
001OO0 To s3O00O000o. OF this amount nil but
s26UuJ.0O0 IL is safe to assume. Is held within the
loyal States OF the Union, The recent estimates of
the amount OF coin Ia tho country have been too
high. Due allowance does not appear to have

with but little interruption until the latter part OF
the year 1900. During this period The exports of
specie exceeded Tie imports and bullion derived
from domestic sources nearly sI50000OO0.
The period mentioned was the most pro-

LIVING IN ENGLAND AND AMERICA.
"Of course wages are much lower in

but then the woTkingmen really live much

cheaper" The only difficulty about the
latter part Of this statement IL that it has
not particle Of truth in it. The main part
Of the cost of a worllingman's living is that
Of the bread and meat required TO sustain
his body in working condition. Bread and
meat must be very much higher in England
than here, because to the cost here must be
added the expense of transporting them
across the ocean and selling them there. with
every hand that they pass through plucking
out a profit. Unless they can show that an
English worliingman requires very much less
bread and meat than his American brother,
and that shipmasters carry flour and beef
across the Atlantic for fun, il will be diff

England than America. IL may be cheaper

Fenditures are for servants and luxuries.
These are undeniably cheaper across the

words of unwisdom, confusing council, this
single fact stands out as distinct and un-

"AURoLoeY," or reading character by the
ears is the latest fad. Layater was the first to
suggest that these were indications Of mental
temperament The ear which most closely re-
sembes that of goat, with its tapering tip is
held to be the most beautiful This is the ear
Of the old Greek sculptors 1t is considered to
be an unfailiug indication of " inely-yTrought
nervous organization.p When the top Of the
ear is oval it indicates a lovabIe, romantic
disposition; when the hem Of the ear IS fiat. as
If ironed down, il indicates yaCilIation; the
man who has it is cold in temper aud mean in
intellect; the woman is firt. When the ear
is round rather than oval, it denotes an amor
Gus. Jealous, but treacherous nature, with quick
perceptions, hut defective in reasoning faeul-
ties and judgment. An ear with no lobe, and
which widens toward the top, marks q selfish,
cunning and revengeful nature. Poets, painters,
sculptors and men aud Wsmen of lofty intel
lectuglity have small ears. while gross, coarse
persons have large, feshy. habby ones. Large,
round ears, with q neat hem, well-carved, not
fat. indicate strong will, bull dog tenacity, and
"a sullen disposition. Thriitiess men and
women always have small ears Large we'll
defined ears, without lat, are usually noticed on
men who are eminent in organization, money
getting on grand scale etc. They are, how
ever, never orators. Men of action and daring
usually have small, round ears. An excrescence
on the top of the ear like cocks comb indi-
Gates weak but obstinate character. An in
dentation, instead of an excrescence, denotes
irritabilty and .quickness of temper, which is
frequently associated with generous impulses.
Large ears. without hem aud dropping at the
top, indicate insolence, vanity, viciousness aud
tendency to tyranny. a transparent, alabas-
ter appearance indicates constitutional weak

THE immigration into this country for the
year ending June 80, will probably be near
100000 For the II months ending May 81,
the number was 392 $50. This is a few
Thousand more than the average of recent
years, but is below that of the years from
1880 to 1888 inclusive. The highest num-
ber was in 1882, when 7s8 592 immigrants
came in. For the first time in the history
OF the country the Italian immigrants will
outnumber the Irish. So far the number of
Irish coming to this country has been second
only to that OF the Germans This year the
Italians will be somewhat in excess. The
Italian immigration has risen with wonder

When John johnson, the suspect,
was released from the city Jail he was
escorted to the Southern boundary
line of the corporation by Officer w.
S. Murphy. johnson made circuit
of Sedalia aud showed up few hours
later in Georgetown. He told parties
there that he had sawed bar of his
calaboose cell nearly in two just to
show the Scoops" that he could have
gotten out long ago if he had so
wished to do so. He says he covered
up his tracks by placing a chew of
tobacco over the gap he had sawed
out. An examination of the cell
yesterday disclosed the fact that one
of the bars had been nearly severed,
and that it was done in a spirit of
bravado because if the whole bar had
been removed it would not let him
out of his close quarters.

opsis of the law with regard to cruelty
to animals, but when the wife applied
for the team he did not have the heart
to get off his speech. He gave her
an order for the team and went to the
stable with her and footed the board
bill out of his own poket. There is a

details are withheld.
