An Important Decision.

The United States Supreme Court has
made another decision, which is likely
sooner or later, to bring about great
deal of discussion, and perhaps trouble.
1t is asserted by many that it's recent
decision in the case of Robertson and
Others versus the United States, that the
thirteenth amendment Of the constitu-
iloa is wiped out completely.
The court decided that the appellants
were rightfully impressed for the VIOLA
ton of their contract to serve as sailors
on the ship, Arago. The appellants
shipped at San Francisco for the voyage
on the Arago, from that port by the way
OF Astoria to Valparaiso, and then to
such foreign ports as the master might
contract, and return to the port of dis
charge IN the United States. At the
port of Astoria, Oregon, the sailors being
dissatisfied with the ship, and being on
shore refused to proceed on the voyage,
they were arrested and brough6 before
the justice Of the peace, who ordered
them delivered to the master on board Of
the vessel, they still refusing to 90.
They were, against their will and protest,
delivered IN irons, to the master on board
tho Arago. Refusing to work on the ship
they we're hold to answer before the
United States District Court, for the
crime of disobeying orders of the master
on the high seas. The Supreme Court
holds that the officers and justice of the
peace of Astoria had the right to seize
the fugitive sailors while on Oregon soil,
and to deliver them to servitude to the
officers against their Will and protest,
and that they we're guilty of crime and
subject to punishment for refusing to
obey the subsequent orders of the master
This is The first decision Of the kind rem
dered since the famous bred Scott deci-
sion, and in dealing with the rights of
the master and of the public authorities
it follows the decision in the case of Priyg
versus the Commonwealth of Pennsylya-
MIA, npholding the fugitive slave law so
closely Chat if the words fugitive sailor

WhGra the Money Went.

The vicar of a rural parish who had
waxed eloquent On the subject Of for
eign missions one Sunday was sur
prised on entering the village shop
during the week to be greeted with
marked GOODNESS by the worthy dame
who kept it. On seeking to know the
cause. the good woman produced coin
from a drawer, and, throwing it down
before the vicar, exclaimed: 81 marked
that holy crown and put it in the plate
last Sunday, and here it is back again in
my shop. I knowed well them mig
gers never got the money!

There are. more ways Of killing 4
dog than by. hanging: him, and there
are more ways of curing a man than BY
giving him medicine At least there is
another way of restoring a feminine in
valid to health and strength, if the 'eS:
perience Of young woman of this city
is to count for anything.
This young woman is a most attrac
tive creature, bright, pretty, amiable.
Any man might be proud to win her,
but no one has succeeded SO far. She
has a married sister, however, and has
often expressed her fondness and adj
Dliration for her brother-in-law in en-
thusiastic terms. All of which is part
Of the story. ~<
Not long ago the married sister had a
serious illness and the young woman
Gid large and devoted share OF the
nursing. Everything that skill and
medical care could devise was done for
the invalid, but she remained an invalid
in spite of all. Day after day she grew
feebler, and day after day she limited
more strongly that she was not long for
this world. The young woman, of
course, bolstered up her sister with en-
couragement and tonics three times &
day, but the sister still insisted that it.
wasn't any use. Finally she got to a
point where she was so very low in her
mind that she called the young woman
to her bedside one day. and in a voice
choked with emotion she said:
'Don't try to hide it from me any
longer, Grace! It's got to come, and I'm
reconciled-or hope I am. But before
l go I want you to promise me one
thing.'
"Now, stop talking such NONSENSE -
gently chided the young woman
YOU'RE going to be all right, soon. All
you need is another bottle Of tonic and
good brace.''
The sister feebly shook her head.
"You mean it all right, but you don't
Know [ tell you that am going to die
and this is a dying request I have
to make ofyou."
"All right, DEAR" said the young
woman, humoring her sister for the
time.
Visits about Ned" beginning to
sob weakly. Ned was her husband, by
the way. II WANT want you-to look
after-him-and see that-ha isn't-oh,
too miserable, you know Promise nc
I ask it as-my last request-tha
you-will look after-Ned!" and the
unhappy wife Wept bitterly.
The young woman was really deeply
affected, but she had flash of inspira-
ton and she said brisl1ly, almost gayly:
Don't worry about Ned! I'll see that
lie doesn't get out of the family!"
The invalid started, dashed away her
tears and gazed at her sister as if she
could not believe tnat SHE had heard
Alright.
'" hat do you mean:" che demanded.
I'll keep him where I can take care
Ct him, dear. That'll be all right. Don't
you worry"
The invalid stared for minute, then
she said, in Il business-like tone:
- "You mean thing! I'll see THAT you
don't!" and them she began rapid re-
covery.-N. Y. Sun.
