supreme Law of the Land.

1.-THE constitution of the United States
is the supreme law, and every law of
congress, every state constitution and
every state law must be brought to the
test of this supreme law and is valid or
invalid as it stands, or fails to stand,
that test, writes ex-President Harrison
in the Ladies Home Journal. s"The in
depreciation and enforcement of the ma
tional constitution and laws could not,
for several obvious reasons, be left to
the state courts. Uniformity of inter
probation would be impossible if the su-
preme appellate courts of the states
could, each for itself and finally for the
people of the particular state, construe
the national constitution and laws. And
especially questions affecting the con-
ficting powers of state and of the ma
tional government could not be left to
the decision of the state court. If the
powers given to the national govern
ment were to be maintained and uni
formly and benefcially exercised, it was
essential that the final judicial deter
mination of the scope and limits of these
powers should be confided to national
courts. 1t would not have done in 1861
to submit the question of the right of a
state to secede from the Union to the
supreme court of South Carolina.

Experiments in machine voting, at
Rochester, N. Y, and Worcester,
Mass, at the recent national election,
appear on tho whole to have been
most fiattering to the hopes of those
who have looked forward to these
trials with confidence in their success.
1t is currently reported, and without
doubt is true that there was a saving
of more than $4,000 in the cost of the
election, in the city of Rochester
alone. Both at Rochester and Wor-
cester the working of the machines
appears TO have been perfectly salts
factory, save to few persons, who
doubtless had beforehand made up
their minds to be dissatisfied. This
class of people is met everywhere,
and deserves very little considera-
ton. If these machines will prevent
election frauds, they should certainly
be adopted before another election,
though, truth to tell but few cases of
fraud in the last election have yet
been brought to light.

At the second battle OF Bull Run a
Michigan regiment, in making a
change of position, came upon Con
federate soldier sitting astride of a
Federal, who was lying on his back.
Each had firm hold OF the other, and
neither could break the hold. AS the
troops came up, the "reb" was taken
in, and as the "Yank" rose to his feet
he was asked how he had got into
such a fix.
ssWhy, I captured the Johnny" he
replied.
ssThen how did he come to be on

them was lost at sea, and the other
became vice. president of the United

was heard of afterwards?
Mother-Don't eat your pie now,
Johnnie; save it until the last. John
nie-Say, nav, don't distrust you,
but the kid who swiped my pie at the
picnic said the same thing.
