The biography of Mrs. James K.
Polk. wife of the eleventh President
of tie United States, just published,
recalls probably the most propular wo-
man that ever presided in the White
House. She was handsome, vivacious,
a musician, graceful, mirthful, and
very religious. Sundays she observed
with old-time strictness, and induced
her husband to attend church. She
put au end to Sunday calling; for on
the Lords Day, when her husbands
rooms were invaded by politicians,
she would appear shawled and bonnet
ed. reminded him that it was church
time, and with sweetest courtesy invite
the visitors to accompany them.
Judge Story, the greatest expoupder OF
law in this country, wrote an OLD
fashioned poem about her:
"For have listened to thy voice.
And watched thy playful mind.
Truth In It's noblest sense thy choice,
Yet gentle, graceful. kind"
Mrs. Polk's influence over her hus-
hand was SO strong that subsequent to
leaving the Presidential chair he be-
came a communicate of the church.
She lived to extreme age, and re-
tanned her wit to the last. A few
wears ago a visitor abruptly said to
her: "How old are you, Mrs. Polk "'
WSir.u said she, II am all old lady, and
NV faculties may be much decayed, |,
hit not so much that I have forgot
ten that no gentleman ever asks a lady
her age"

The Gsary Law Sustained.


Washington, May I5.-Standing 5
to 8, with one member absent, the
United States Supreme Court, the
highest tribunal in the land, to-day
declared the act providing for the
registration of Chinese to be within
the letter and spirit of the Constitu-
ton, and, therefore, valid and affec-
tive as law.
The decision of the court was de-
hvered by Justice Horace Gray, and
dissenting opinions were announced
by Chief Justice Fuller, Justice Field
and Justice Brewer.
After the court concluded the an
nouncement of it's opinion Ashton of
counsel for the Chinese moved a re-
hearing and argument before full
bench at the next term.
The court took the motion under
advisement, the effect of which is to
postpone the proceedings under the
Judgment announced to-day.
Intense interest was manifested to-
day in the decision of the court. Every
seat in the courtroom was filled and all
the standing room was taken. The
court disposed of number of cases
before coming to this particular deci-
sion and then Justice Gray announced
the opinion of the court. He said
that in the limited time allowed since
the argument on Wednesday last it
had been impossible to prepare a
written decision, and he only used
notes, therefore, when he cited
statutes on former decisions of the
court. His remarks were made in a
rather quiet tone, and crowds of people
maintained the utmost silence to catch
every word he said Sometimes he
repeated himself, but all in all the
decision was remarkable as an off
hand effort, and was greeted with
many mods of approval by those who
were listening.

Courts Of Cancellation.

The Legislature of Dakota passed
an act to create Courts of Cancellation,
the object being to prevent unneces-
sary and expensive litigation. In a
local election Justice of the Peace
and four Commissioners of Concili-
ton are to be chosen, two of whom
are to act with Justice in hearing
testimony and arguments in civil
cases before action is brought into
civil courts. No attorneys are to be
allowed to appear and the chief testi-
mony is to consist of the statements of
the principal parties to the action.
The Justice and the Commissioners
are then to try to induce the contend
ing parties to adjust their differences
on the ground of justice. Should this
effort fail, none of the proceedings are
to form q part of the subsequent liti-
CATION. The main objects of the
courts is to prevent lawsuits over
small matters.

and the date of the settlement of the En-.

their location at Jamestown. By the
very topography of the place, Main Street
must have been the first road opened "at

know that it soon became "the main
