have risen at a critical period Of the Nations history, to light
the way for the millions to a full understanding of the antagonis-
tic principles which must eventually disrupt the Government
and overturn existing institutions? Here was a colossal scene in
Drama of the Universe. Amid the cold bleak hills of New Eng
land, a son was born, the greatest of American orators, and ere
long he found his way to the centre of the National stage. In
his suite were millions of American people, clamoring for central
ization of government and executive power. During the same
calendar year, in the sunny South, that section which even yet
has not felt the congestion of alien blood, another son was
born, the greatest Of American debaters. A little earlier than
the first, he found his way to the centre OF the National stage,
and in his suite were millions of American people demanding
equality of administration under the Constitution, and recOgnl-
ton of the reserved rights of the component states. And then,
from a state divided in sentiment as it was afterward divided in
actual secession, a state which had itself more than limited at the
Doctrine of Notification came a third son whose position was
also near the front and near the foot lights. He entered along
with the S%outherner. AS scene followed scene in course, culmi-
mating in Modification and the Force Bill, a crisis was imminent.
1t was then that the great COMPROMISED stepped between con-
tending forces, and by astute craftsmanship, forced a truce. BY
the drama was soon to be rewritten in a Nations blood. The
truce could not last. The cause was rooted in antagonistic prlncl-
pies of government, involving the destruction constitutions older
than the Constitution itself; they were deeper than the thoughtsand
intents of men; they were taught in the schools and sanctioned
in the Church; they were imbibed with the mothers milk; they
were in the blood and could ultimately find settlement only in
the shedding of that blood. Mems destinies were involved, but
only as so many pawns under the Master hand. For explanation
ofthe purpose, the plan, the results, we have learned to look
through the vista of marshaled events beyond the creature to the
creatures God.
The scene has changed. Southern and Northern blood, flow
ing in a common stream, has washed away forever the system of
slavery, a system for which they were equally responsible, but
for which only the South has paid, and over its ruins, they have
builded new systems, displaying industrial development that has
the world. But the principles that set in motion this
destruction Of systems have not changed. They are coterminal
with the Government itself; the one tending toward centraliza-

knows how much the expression was warped or Its appllcatlOn
changed. 1t was finally reported by an enemy of MIR. Calhoun.
Whatever may have been the feeling of the President for Mr..
Calhoun, it is gratifng that he cherished no unkind feeling for the
people of his native state, though arrayed with the Nation
against the stand they had taken. Hear just this snort extract
from his memorable Modification Pcoclamation: "FeNOW-citiZens
of my natives State, let me not only admOnish you as the First
Magistrate of our common country, not to incur the penalty of its
laws, but use the influence that a father would over his children
whom he saw rushing to certain ruin" 1t must be acknowledge
ed that, entertaining such contrary opinions as to the attitude OF
the State, his course was moderate. 1t is well worth remem-
bering, however, that the State of South Carolina had attempted
to settle the question at issue, in the United States Court, and
had been denied this redress by Il resolution OF Congress. force
was considered the safer way by the Nation, and so force was
threatened. Here was Il striking circumstance. South Carolina
was at variance with the Nation; she cOntcnding for the right OF
the State to exercise its veto power, to set aside acts OF Congress
which she conceived to be unconstitutional. This claim was
based on the contention that the union of tleStates was nothing
more than Il compact, agreed to by the citizens OF the States as
such, and not as individuals composing the union; that their al
legiance to the union was binding no further than the rights
conceded.
The Federalists contended that the Constitution was adopted
by the people as a whole, through the states, and that the indiv-
idual owed allegiance direct to the federal government, not
through the States, and that the State had not the right to limit
or specify the extent of that allegiance.
There can be little doubt that the question of States Rights
was well founded in logic and that it was set aside by force rather
than by regular process through the courts. There is one conso-
lation to the State, however, and that IS that the controversy
was raised and settled by her own SONS.
There are those who, either through pervcrScneSs or mlsln-
formation have questioned the fact that General jackson was q
native of South Carolina. For the benefit ofsuch l can not re-
frain, even at the cost of breaking the connection here of my dis
course, from inserting some facts CLEANED from history.
Andrew Jackson, ST., was a Scotclman who lived in the
north of Ireland. With his wife and two sons, Hugh ana
Robert he came direct from Ireland to Charleston, South caro-
lima, in 1765. Later he purchased a tract of land about 40
miles above Camden, South Carolina, which was known as the

The fIorin.

The form. one of the most famous Of
modern coins, originated in Florence.
Some say that it gave the name to the
city, while others assert that it was
first so called because it had on it a
flower de luce, from the Italian flo
rome, or flower, for the same reason
that an English silver piece is called
crown or certain gold pieces In
France indifferently a napoleon or q
louis or the ten dollar gold piece In
America an eagle. Two countries,
Austria and Holland, have retained
the form as a unit Of monetary value,
taking it at a time when it was very
universal in Europe, its usage having
been rendered general by the financial
supremacy of the little states Of north
ern Italy and the imperfect coinage
system Of the other countries of the
continent.

Owls Houses.

Owls houses are for the most part
quite without lining. Whether from
Design or pure laziness the bones and
skulls Of small animals which they
have killed are left scattered about the
floor Grewsome playthings for the
owl children! But one can scarcely
imagine even a baby owl being any
thing but wise and digni6ed. It is
easiest to picture them apparently
gravely musing on these skulls like
monks in their dark cells.
Since SO many Of the owls have their
homes in hollow trees, we might ex-
pect some Of their near relatives, the
hawks, to be inclined to live In the
same way. One of them, the little
sparrow hawk, does nest in the dick
er's abandoned home and In comfort
able knotholes. This bird, too, is sat
isfied with perfectly bare walls and
door, though the floor consist Of small
chips left by the decaying wood or by
some woodpecker.-St. Nicholas.

Pastsur's Tribute to Lister.
OF all the tributes to the genius OF
Lord Lister, the discoverer Of antisep'
tic surgery, probably the most touch
ing was that paid to him by Pasteur,
the famous French scientist. At a
meeting Of savants in Paris many
years ago Lord Lister was present,
and his brilliant achievements were
explained to the audience by Pasteur.
Al he progressed in his speech he be-
came more and more emotional, and
at last he was 30 carried away by
his own eloquence that the tears stood
in his eyes. Finally he stepped down
from the platform, took Lord Lister,
who was IN the front row Of the. audi.
ence,, by both hands, led him back on
to the platform and kissed him on both
cheeks, after the manner Of the
French, in full view Of the assembly.
Few could have looked on. unmoved

Conditions That Must Obtain to Al.
low Of It's Production.
The fata morgana is a singular aerial
phenomenon akin, to the mirage. It Is
seen in many parts Of the world, but
most frequently and in greatest per.
lection at the strait Of Messina, be.
tween Sicily and Italy. So many con.
ditions must coincide, however, that
even there it is Of comparatively rare
occurrence. To allow of its production
the sun must be at an angle Of forty.
five degrees with the water, both sky
and sea must be calm and the tidal
current sufficiently strong to cause
the water in the center to rise higher
than on the edges Of the strait. When
these conditions are fully met the OBJ
server on the heights Of Calabria, look
ing toward Messina, will behold a
series Of rapidly changing pictures,
sometimes of most exquisite beauty.
Castles, colonnades, SUGGESTIONS Of
beautiful arches, palaces. cities, with
houses and streets and church domes,
mountains, forests, grottoes, will ap-
pear and vanish, to be succeeded per-
haps by fleets Of ships, sometimes
placidly sailing over the deep. some
times inverted. while a halo like a
rainbow surrounds every image. 1t Is
supposed that the images are due to
the irregular retroactive powers Of the
different layers of air above the sea,
which magnify, repeat and distort the
objects on the Sicilian shore beyond,
but to the Italians these singular ap-
pearances are the castles of the Prin-
cess Morgana, and the view Of them is
supposed to bring good fortune to the
beholder.

He will plunge down fifteen or twenty
feet after minnow or young shad.
"The sexton beetle spends its life
burying dead animals. It lays twenty
eggs in each carcass, and thus the
young on Matching have an abundance
Of juicy and high meat to feed on.
Sexton beetles, working together, have
been known to bury a rabbit.
'The skunk beetle Is so called not

Paying the Doctor.

Some American doctors are In favor
Of the contract system for medical
service, but they are still long way
from the Chinese scheme Of stopping
the doctors salary when the patient
falls i'll. The writer knows a New
Yorker who says that If ever he Is
threatened with an operation he will
ask the surgeon what it is going to
cost. Then he will hand him the
amount at once with the assurance
that the fee goes whether the operation
comes off or doesn't. He reasons that
the doctor will then have no possible
temptation If it comes to toss up
whether to operate or take a chance.

THE BEST THEY HAD.

Put Il All on Exhibition to Make 4
Good Impression.
The Norwegians are always trying
to put the best foot forward. and the::'
do it in reference to marriage as we'll
as in reference to other matters.
It Is said that young man once
went out to seek a wife and came to
q farmhouse where there was more
wit than money The only thing Of
which the farmer could boast was one
new sleeve to his coat. This must be
made the most Of. "Pray take seat"
he said Hospitality. "But this room is
shockingly dusty" and, so saying, he
went about wiping tables and benches
with his new sleeve, while he kept the
old one behind him.
His wife possessed one new shoe
and one only, but she made the most
Of it by pushing the furniture in place
with it and keeping the other hidden
beneath her skirts. 1T is very untidy
here" she said. Everything is out Of
place."
Then they called to the daughter to
come and put things to rights. But
the only new thing she possessed was
a cap. So she kept putting her head
in at the door and nodding and nod
ding.
For my part,"' she said. II can't be
everywhere at once"

young man believe that the household
was well to do.-Detroit Free Press:

The bodies were taken to the Field
Undertaking Rooms and prepared for
burial, the body of the woman being
shipped to St. Paul on No. 8, the
same afternoon and that of Quamme
being held pending the arrival Of
some word from his relatives.
1t developed at the inquest that the
real name of the murdered woman
was Grace Madden and that she had
formerly lived in st. Paul, and it was
there the remains were shipped. 1t
also appears that Quamme has threat
ened her life before and he was ar
rested one. time last winter on COM
plant of the woman that he threat
ened to kill her, but as she failed to
appear against him the case was
dropped and he merely served time
in the city Jail as a disorderly person.
The Madden woman is sister to Mrs.
TEX" Thompson, and it is understood
that she had lived for sometime IN
Mandan before coming to Bismarck.
Quamme was barber by trade but
for some time past it is understood
that he had been working in place
of questionable character in the city.
He came to this part of the coun-
try from Kerkoven, MIMI, where it
IS understood his relatives are living
now. He had also been a resident Of
Mandan for two years before COM
ing here. When he first came to Man.
dan he was sober, industrious work.
er and lived with and supported in
good shape his wife and two children
and it was not until he became in
fatuated with the Madden woman that
he started on the down-hill TRAIL His
wife secured divorce from him some
time ago and had gone to her home
in the east and has taken her chill
dren.
The coroner's inquest, which was
opened Monday morning and then, af-
ter hearing some Of the evidence, was
adjourned until evening, brought in a |
verdict to the effect that Quamme had
killed the woman by cutting her
throat with 4 razor and that he then |
used the same method to commit sui. |
eide. The Jury consisted of John |
Yegan, Thos. McGovern and G. G. |
Wachter.
In q search of the room which !
Quamme had been occupying some
papers were found and among them
a piece of note paper on which the |
following note or quotation was writ
ten. The note is given, spelling and |
as it was in the original
and the tenor shows that he had been |
contemplating a rash act Of some |
kind when the writing was done:

This makes the third tragedy which
has occurred in the house in the
"Junglues" as about two years ago a
man committed suicide there and
some years before that a woman was
found dead in one of the rooms and
it was never discovered whether she
was murdered or whether she COM
mitted suicide.
