II Did Have O Serious Look.
Boston Herald

There was occe a man who had a
wooden leg. The man was an officer
in the Union army. He had lost his
leg at Sharpsburg. But the wooden
leg was such good one that its owner
still passed for b,ped, even among
some of his intimate friends.
One day a runaway negro, a contra,
band, s,rolled INTO camp, and the
officer engaged him as his body SER
want.
After looking long upon the vine
one night at little dinner, the officer
came home to his tent. He called
his contraband to help him pull off his
boots.
Snow, SAM" he said, "be careful
One of these boots is tight, and it
most pulls my leg out to get it off.
Besides, ! feel rather flimsy."
use allus keerful, boss replied
Sam, and he carefully removed the
first boot.
When the contraband began to
pull at the other foot the officer
loosered the straps Of the wooden leg
little. Sam pulled hard, and things
came with a rush.
"There! There! l told you to be
CAREFUL shouted the officer as the
leg came off. II was afraid you'd
pull that leg off :"
Sam saw the leg protruding from
the top of the boot which he had
pulled off.
His eyes bulged out like Holsters,
and he yelled just once as he sprang
for the door.
"l.emme 60, lemme gel" he
shrieked, as he dashed through the
group outside, 81 never done muffin;
fore Gawd, ] never done nuflin!'
And he was still yelling when he
disappeared. They never saw him in
camp again.

Utilizing q Dead Man.

1t comes from San Diego that a
corpse was lately brought into Cali
fornia from Me xico sud that the int
rior Of the "remains" contained all the
opium it could hold. The ingenuity
OF the opium smuggling ring is very
great, but it has not been supposed
before that a dead friend would be
utilized in that way.

BUTLER'S BOOK-COntinued.

tafy cOInhISsIouS Auu Aouuu Sulty
While in prison awaiting sentence q
writ OF habess corpus was brought in
his favor, and the case was taken tc
the Supreme Court. Hon. Jere s.
Black, Hon. David w. Field, and
General Garfield appearing for MilIi>
gan.
This was the first time that the &C.
ton of a military commission bad
come directly before the Supreme
Court. The cause of the United
States was sustained in every point
but one and that was, as the Circuit
Court of the United States was open
in Indiana, that, therefore, Millgan
had a right to be tried before the Cir.
cult Court. The opinion was sustained
by majority of only one, tho Chief
Justice being dissenter.
During the whole War Of the Re.
bellion the government was rarely
aided by the decisions Of the Supreme
Court. And early in the war Presi-
dent Lincoln found it necessary to
suspend the writ of habeas corpus to
relieve himself from the rulings Of
Chief Justice fancy, who delivered
the opinion, substantially, that the
negro had no rights that a white
man was bound to respect.
After the war he tried before the
Supreme Court Of the District, the
Admiralty Court, and the Supreme
Court of the United States, many
very important cases. AT least one
of these became famous and estab.
iished precedent both in this
country and in Great Britain.
In April, 1862, Farragut made his
wonderful passage with his fleet to
New Orleans, and took possession of
vessels ahoat valued at nearly two
million dollars. Farragut, unlike
"Markipg Pot" Porter, who always
took time to paint with a marking pot
on all vessels across which he ran,
"taitnred by the United States Navy.
u. d. Porter, commanding" was too
busy lighting to look after his prizes;
so he did not apply to a prize court to
have the property sold for his benefit
and that OF his crews.
AT the close of the war Vice Ad.
m'ral Bailey, second in command,
called on Genera! Butler to get the
captured property condemned as
prizes. After vainly trying to have
the case adjudicated Butler proposed
that 1t should be referred to three ar
titrators.
The Attorney General Of the United
P'otcSteI. w no ever Uelru Oh

before the Admiralty Court"
The award was made for substan.
TALLY all the items claimed and the
precedent made.
IN his absence the court awarded
GENERAL Butler 5000 for fees in the
case Little enough" says Butler,
because the case was one of great
'ao'r and had been before the several
courts for years."

waukee, St. Paul, st. Louis, Minneapolis,
Kansas City Denver, Omaha and the hum
bred lesser centers will all continue their
growth, but they will all, like lesser planets,
draw their lite-giYing light from this great
central sun. Your schools, colleges, church

portunities to excel in every line social, NOR
al, religious, professional and commercial.
The wealth of the east, yes, of all nations,
will continue to pour into your lap at rate
hitherto unknown in the history of any city
ancient or modern. And Chicago will win.
But when you have passed the equinox of
life and wish for that undisturbed calm
which should precede the passage to the un-
known shore, what spots in all this world
Will seem as dear TO you as that old familiar
place among the green hills of your native
state which you once called home? When
LIES hard work is done, come back, and the
old folks at home-those whom you have left
behind-will, with outstretched arms and
loving hearts, welcome your return and do all
they can to scatter flowers in that peaceful
declivity down which we must all sooner or
later pass.
The door has swung, and we have crossed
the threshold of the second century of our

that second century shall close? VIII our
State government, now the purest and best

tinue free from that intolerance in religion
which Is the bane of so many lands?
Let us hope that the answer to all these
questions may be an unqualified yes Ihat
