Strong.
Probably no woman of thirty ever l.al
received more oilers of marriage than
Katherine Strong. She lived, With her
father, in the family mansion on Wash
ington Square. She was known to he
rich-very rich. There was. however.
something SO curiously rcpcllant about
her that the most daring fortune hunter
made his proposal by letter. Ii seemed
impossible to speak of love to Katherine
Strong. No man had ever dreamed of il,
much less attempted it.
"How does this sample OF realism
strike you, Miss Strong:" asked one
young fellow, giving IL twirl to his mus
tachc.
Katherine moved nearer the printing
aud gazcd at it in silence. She was plain,
masculine in her uglincss; each gesture
was awkward; her face seemed rough
hewn from block of granite. 1.-The
man has power, said She, briefly; "who
is he?"
Two or three were ready to answer the
question.
'Alanton Howard. Haven't you met
him? He's the most unpopular man in
town; one of those fellows who makes
disagrceablc remarks, pri'ling himself
upon his truthfulness. His pictures are
eli in this style; realism, you know.
He'd rather paint IL mud puddle than Il
lily, and he calls it being true to Ma
turc. I'll look him up, if you'd like to
meet him. Shall IL
''Ycs,' said Miss Strong, laconically.
She was woman'of few words.
The party moved down the room. Not

then signiiicd her intention of going
home. Several cavaliers dartcd off TO
find her carriage. The one unfortunate
left to entertain the hcircss felt his cou,-
age oozc from every pore. To his delight
Manton Howard appeared n few steps
from them.
"Ah! there is the great artist, Miss
Strong" he whispered, hurricdly. "l'll
present him now, if you wish. Howard,
dear boy. I'm glad to see you. Miss
strong-my friend, Mr.. Howard. We've
been raving about your picture, old man.
Great thing, isn't it:'

4 SOUTHERN JUDGE ON SECESSION.


In New-Oreans the 9th of April has for
years been observed as Decoration Day. IL
was so observed this year. After the graves
Of Confederate soldiers had been strewn with
flowers an Grafton was delivered by Charles f..
Fenncr. one of the Justices of the Louisiana
SuIr,me Court, himself Confederate veteran
This Grafton for the most part is an exposition
Of the constitutional grounds upon which the
Southern States based their right 10 resume
their independence. The Judge held that the
right Of State to seccde was "no mere pre-
text manufactured by the South to suit an
OCCASION" but was, in fact g the parent of the
Constitution ITSELF lie held, further, that at
every step and in every phrase of the proceed
ings OF the convention OF 1887 it was pro-
claimed that the Government as established by
the Constitution was ga Federal and not
National Government and that it was COM
ract entered int between the States rs sOver-
eign parties" The position Of Daniel Webster
and Of Judge Story to the contrary naturally
was characterized by Judge Fenner as utterly
unwarranted."
Now the delivery of such an Grafton on such
an occasion by Southerner is not novel
occurrence. When Judge Fcnner spoke as he
did it was the expected which happened. II is
the conclusion of his speech with which we are
concerned. After duly expounding and justify
ING the doctrine of State rights and vigor-
