"That I am a sister I think you have just had good proof, and my charity is unlimited. Seriously, I think I am one, without the bandaged head, short hair, poke bonnet and ugly clothes. Now, if that be treason, make the most fit." "Oh, you graceless girl ! I think you must have been studying Buskin." "I have not But toll me if our great minds agree. What does Mr. Buskin say on the subject?" "You have not read 'Sesame and Lilies,' and ' Queen's Gardens,' then?" "No." "Ethics of the Dust?'" " "No; but quote him for me and maybe I will."

And we Have heard, oh, wonder? what befell" "Jean Ingelow," said Muriel, patting her hand on his lips. "You've no business to stop my mouth in any such way as that." "Then do as I asked you to, if that wicked Fred's mantle has not fallen upon you." "Well, then, Mr. Buskin says you may be a sister of charity with all your .heart, but let us have no veiled and voluble declaration of it, and wear a

costume if you like, but let it be pretty and becoming. "

A few years of co-operation on the part of the farmers and creamery men of Iowa have brought the business to be so profitable that to-day the dairy product is valued at $25,000,000. A Yates county correspondent of the New York Tribune reports that a quince bush grafted on common thorn and without being cultivated has borne regular crops of fruit for over forty years. He thinks that this points a moral to nurserymen, as the quince npou its own roots is uncertain and short-lived. A Pesxsvxvaxu girl thiuks the advertisements of agricultural societies are the best commentaries on the management of their fairs. "Look at the premiums," she says, "for the fastest irotting horse, $50; -for the next fastest, $25; for the best team of work horses, $5; for the best loaf of bread, 50 cents." - Whes cows take a fancy to eat wood, lick earth or chew bones, it is an indication that they are suffering from indigestion. Give eaoh cow a pint of linseed oil or a pound of molted lard, and after that bran slop for a few days, and they will probably loate off "eating 1vood or other rubbish, The Coach Maker's Maaazinc indorses the statement that fow people are aware they do wagons and carriages more injury by greasing too plentifully than in any other way, ' A well-made wheel will endnre constant wear from ten to twenty-five years, if caro is taken to use the right kind and proper amount of grease; but if this matter is not attended to, it will be used up in five or six years. Lard should never be used on a wagon, for it will penetrate the hub and work its way out around the tenons of the spokes and spoil the wheel. Tallow is the lubricator for wooden axle-trees, and castor oil for iron hubs, but many of the patent axle greases are also excellent, and have the merit of being cheaper and more convenient to handle. Just grease enough should be applied to the spindle of a wagon to give it a sb'ght coating. This is better than more, for the surplus put on will wonk out at the ends, and be forced by the shoulder bands and nutwasher into the hub around the outside of the boxes. To oil an iron axle-tree

first wipe the spindle clean, wet with

spirits of turpentine, and then apply a few drops of castor oil near the shoulder

and end. One teaspoonful ia snflicient for the whole.

The Best Bacon. The best bacon is made from pigs which will not weigh

more tnan via pounds when dressed. The rashers or strips for the bacon are cut lengthwise off the pig and about half of the sides are used. The portion next to the backbone is fatter and lacks in muscle, and is not do good on this account When bacon is made from small pigs those weighing less than 100 pounds the whole of the sides are used. Bed and black Berkshire hogs make the best bacon, because they have the largest proportion of lean meat. Six pounds of salt and four pounds of saltpeter should bo used for 100 pounds of meat. Five pounds of brown sugar may also be used, or two quarts of molasses. If the bacon is cured in a barrel, the salt, saltpeter and sweetening should bo mixed and a portion sprinkled on the bottom of the barrel, and some also between the layers of meat and on the top, and water enough, after the meat is packed closely, put on to cover it In a month the meat will ,be seady to smoke. Too much smoke will color the meat and give it a rank taste. Another way to cure bacon is to rub the above mixture on the flesh side of the strips of bacon and then pile up one- piece above another, and let the mixture strike in. After three days rub again and pile up as before. A week after rub again and pile it up, putting the flesh side up every time. The mixture should be divided into three equal parts, to provide for the several rubbings. At the end of a month the meat will be ready for smoking, or -before if the salt has all struck in and the surface has become perfectly dry, which is an indication. After smoking, the rashers should be sewed up in bags made of cotton cloth aad hung up iu a dry, dark place. If the bags are whitewashed ru the outside all the better, as this will keep worms out New York Tribune. Too Mttoh Fencing. "Fence Maker" is quite radical in his notions relative to fences. His communication to Ohio Farmer is worth reading. Hear him : Fences are something that we have too much of. It is not often that wo got too much of anything good, but of the fence we have plenty and to spare. Why do our farmers maintain so many rods of fence? Is it because they really cannot do without them? I would say no. Is it because our timber is plenty? Again comes tho answer no. Then why is it? Simply because we are used to this way of having our farms arranged. Do any of the Farmer readers ever stop to think of the value or cost of fences on a farm of 160 sores? Suppose he has twenty eightacre fields, and a lane the whole length of the farm, besides yard and other lot fences, would it surprise any of the farmers if somo one would tell them

that it would cost, at $1 for every rod,

about $2,000. Now don't any of you jump clear out of your boots "and tear your hat to pieces, but sit down and cast your eye over y ur farm and then

count up and make i n estimate. When we consider the time that it takes to

keep up these fences and the -cost of material, it is time that ve begin to think of some other method of fai-ming

that would be practical. Our fences

not only cost money, but they occupy a

good part of each farm. ' Thoy make a very nice harbor for briers and aiders, which we can easily do without in fields. If we would practice the soiling system, which we will do sooner or later.

we could do away with all this costly

labor and have money to invest 111 good barns, etc. I do not mean to condemn all of theso fences. We need some, but we can use portablo fences when we want to pasture a piece of ground.

and for such that we want for permanent pasture we can have stationary fences. If wo would take out middle fences and repair others, and thereby enlarge onr fields, we would gradually como to tho conclusion that we have no need of so much fence. How much

nicer it is to have no g;vtou or bars to open and shut, no fence corners to grub

and keep clonn, no hors.'s or cows to he

bring in in tho morning when tho grass is wet, and wo would always know where onr stock was to bo found when wanted, if we had no fences.

You can also mix your passengers' boots up like Buttercup did the babies. A pleasant thing is to put a pair of top-boots under the berth ocoupied by a single lady. She may not exactly see the joke, but passengers will. If you have any influence with the conductor of your oar, always put ladies in the upper berths, and reserve the lower ones for gentlemen. Women nover give you a quarter. Men do. Another excellent way to earn an honest penny is to hide somo little things belonging to u passenger. When he has spent an hour looking for it, he will probably ask you to assist him in finding it. His gratitude at your success, will always amply repay yon for the trouble you may have taken ia the matter. When a passenger gives you his hat or his overcoat to hang up, do so, and place it where it will be covered with dust and cinders before the journey is over. This will insure you a chanco to brush it off and another quarter. lyalzicl's Annual.

THE SUPREME COURT DECISION.

A Negro's Protection Under the

Law Equal with a White Man's.

The Province of Constitutional Amend ijpints and the Scope of State Statutes

Abstract of the Recent Decision ill the

Civil Rights Case.-

The following- are the main points in the decision of tho Supremo Court in the civil-

rights cases. After quoting- the first two sections of the act, Justice Bradley, who'do-

livcred the opliiioa, sflysi

- llxs tionereta ron&titotionat power to' make Such A law? Of cqnrsti, no ono will contend

that the nower to pass It was contained in tt etiEStitutfoB Wfoto the adoption of ttio laitt three amendments. Power is sought first in this Fourteenth amendment. The first section (which is the one relied on), alter declaring who shall be citizens of the United States and the several States, is nroliihitonr in ita character

land prohibitory upon the Stales.) It is State

action 01 a particular character that is nrotunltcd. Individual invasion of individual rights is not the subject matter of tho amendment. It has a deeper and broader

scope. It nullities and makes void all State log islatlon and Htato aation of everr kind wlilcl

imiiairR the i.rivilttgca 01- immiinitina nt citizens

pf the Unttcd States; 9r which injures themiii life, liberty or prosiierliy without due process of

law. or wiucn denies to any or mem tne equal ,iwit .t in.. .1, ,1.. 1 . ...n 1 . n.l., ....... !....

V. .u? 1 . ij. AWUU. UWC ut,in order that the national will thus declared may not be mere brulum futmem the last Boot ion of the amendment infests Congress with the poiier to enforce it with appropriate leeMatlon. To enforce what? To enforce prohibition. To adopt Appropriate legislation ior eorrectinc: the effects of such prohibited State law

enectuatty null, void and innocuous.

This is the lcidslatire power conferred upon Congress, and this is the whole of it. It does not invest Congress with power to legislate upon subjects which are within the domain of State legislation, but to provide modes of relief against state legislation or State action of the kind referred to. Until some State law has kaenpaseod or some State actios through its otUeers or agents been taken adverse to tbd rights of citizens sought to be protected by the Fourteenth amendment, no legixlatlou bt the United States under Said amendment nor any proceeding under aUch legislation oan bo called

into activity, ior tne nronimtions 01 the anient-

merits are against Stato laws and acts done

under state authority. An iHHi-e.-tion of the law here In nuest'on

shows that it applies equally to rases arising in the States which hare tho jnstest laws r sporting the personal rights of citizens, and whose authorities are ever ready to enforce such laws, as to those which arise in States that may have violated the prohibitive amendment. In other words, it steps Into the domain of local jurisprudence and lays down rules for the conduct of individuals in society toward each other, and

imposes sanctions for the enforcement

of those rules without referring in

any manner to any supposed action of

the State or its authorities. It this legislation is appropriate for enforcing the prohibition amendment it is difficult to see where it H to stop. Why may not Congress, with an canal show of authority, enact a codo of law for the enforcement and vindication of fttl f lifhta nf ltto.

liberty and property? if it is not supposable-

tnai mates may deprive persons 01 me, noeriy, and property without due process of law (and the amendment itself does not suppose this), whv should not Coneross r.r ocefld at rJnca to nlu

scribe a duD process Of law tor the protection of every one of these fundamental rights in every

vtHuiv tOtw, iu weu as to iircounuo equal privileges in Inns, publio conveyances and theaters? Judge Bradley rotors to tho Civil Bights

bill of April 4, 1886, and shows it " is clearly

corrective in Its character, intended to counteract and furnish rodress against Stato laws and proceedings and customs having tin forco of law which sanction the wrongful

acts specified.

In this connection it is proper to state that civil rights such as are guaranteed by the constitution against Stato aggression cannot be impaired by the wrongful acts of individuals unsupported by Stato authority, in the shape of laws, customs, or judicial or executive proceedings. The wrongful act of an individual unsupported by any such authority ia simply a private wrong or crimo of that tadividualaa

invasion or the rights of the Injured party, it is true, whether they affect his poison, his property or his reputation; but, if not sanctioned Jn some way by tho Stato, or not done under ita authority, his rights remain in full force and may presumably be vindicated by resorts to

the laws 01 tne mate tor rearcss. an individual

cannot deprive a man ot his right to vote, to hold property, to buy and sell, to site in the courts, or to be a witness or juror. He may, by forco or fraud, fnterforo with the enjoyment of a right in a particular case. He may commit assault against a person, or oommlt murder, or use ruffianly violence at the polls, or slander the good name of a fellow-citizen, but, unless protected in these wrongful acts by tome shield of State law or State authority, he cannot destroy or Injure the right. Be will only render himself amenable to satisfaction or punishment, and amenable therefore to the laws of the State where the wrongful acts are committed. If the

principles 01 interpretation we nave nua aown are correct, as we deem them to be, it is clear the law in question cannot be sustained by any grant of logisla ire power made to Congress by

tne r oui cecum amendment. But the nower of Congress to adont and di

rect primary as distinguished from corrective legislation on the subject in hand is Bought In the second place from th Thirteenth amendment, which abolishes slavery and gives Congress power to enforce the amendment by appropriate legislation. This amendment, as well as the Fourteenth, is undoubtedly self-executory wlthont any ancillary legislation, so far as its terms are applicable to any existing state ot

circumstances. By its own unaided force and effort it abolished slavgry and established unr

vcr.al freedom, ami legislation may Do neces

sary ana proper 10 moot an tne various cases and circumstances atteotcd by It and to nrescribs

proper inodo of redress for its violation in letter or spirit, and such legislation niay bo primary and direct in its character, for lha amendment Is not a more prohibition of State laws

establishing or unuouuntT slavery, bat an abso

lute declaration that slavery or involuntary servitude shall not exist in any part of the United States. Now, conceding for the sake of argument that admission to an inn. a nublio

conveyance, or place of publio amusement

on equal terms with all other oi izens ia the r ght of every man and all classes of men, is it any more tban one of those rights whloh tha

States by the Fourteenth amendment are lorblddeu to deuv to any lMrson. and is the consti

tution violated until the denial of right has

some State sanction or authority? Can the aOof a mere individual, the owner of an inn, public conveyance, or place ot amusement In refusing accommodation be iustlv regarded as imnoa-

ing any badge of slavery or servitude upon tho applicant, or only as inflicting an ordinary civil injury properly cognizable by tho laws of the

Btato ana prcsumauiy snoject to redress oy th084 laws until the contrary appears? After giving to these questions all the consideration which their imnortance demands, we

are forced to the conclusion that such an act ot refusal has nothing to do with slavery or involuntary servitude, and that it it is violative of any right of a party, his redress Is to bo sought under the law ot tho State, or, if thoso laws are

adverse to 111s rights and io not protect mm, nis remedy will bo found in the corrective legislation which Congress has adopted or may adont for

counteracting the effect of tho State laws or

State action prohiiutea by the Fourteenth amendment. Itwonld be running the slavery argument into tho grouud to make it apply to every act ot discrimination which a person may ace nt as to a guest l .e will entertain or as to tha people ho will take into his coach, or cab, or car. dr admit to his concert or theater, or deal within other matters of intercourse or business. Innkeepers and public carriers by law in all States, so far as wo aro awar.-, are bound to the extent of their facilities to furnish proper accomodation to all unobjectionable persons who, in good faith, apply for them. If tho laws themselves make any unjust discrimination amenable to the prohibitions of the Fourteen th. amendment, Congress has full power to afford a remedy under that amendment and in accordance with it. When a man has emerged frorrvslavory and by the aid of legislation hnB shaken off tho inseparable concomitants ot that state, t here must be some xtago in the progress of his elevation when ho takes the rank ot a more citizen and coast s to be a special favorite of the laws, aud when his rights as a citixen or man aro to be protected in the ordinary modes by whioh other men's rights aro protected. The re were thousands of free colored pe pie in - this country, before the abolition of slavery, enjoying all tho essential rights of life, liberty and prooorty the Baine as white citizens; yet no one at that timo thought it was any invasion of thoir personal status as free men because thev were not admitted to all the privileges enjoyed by white citizens, or beoauso they were subjected to discriminations hi the enjoyments of tho accommodationsof inns, public conveyances and places of amusement; mere discriminations on account of race or color wore not regarded as a badgo of slavory. It since that time the enjoyment of equal rights in all theso respeats has become established bv constitutional en

actment, it is not by force of the Thirteenth amendment (whloh merely abolishes slavery), bnt by forco of tho fourteenth and Fifteenth amondrnonts.

On tho whole, wo aro of onlnlon that no

nnnnt.mtamv, nf nnt.hnrlt.v fni- t.l,.. n.wnmi et ,1.n

jaw iu question can lie fount in either the Thirteenth or Fourteenth amen iments to tho Constitution, anil, no other ground of authority

VETERANS OF THE WEST.

Meeting of tho Society of the Army of the Cumberland at' Cincinnati.

Address of Gen. Smith D. Atkins, the Orator of the Bay.

Cincinnati Telegram J -The reunion of tho Society of tho Army of the C'utnboYfRnd fominenecd with a march of tho members, bedded by, its .President, ,Gon. Sheridan, and a band, ff'thn the Burnett houso to tho Grand opera-house, Vhdrb a business session was held. Accompanying Gen. Shoridan wore Gens, nosccrans, Wood, Loyan, Newton, Hussey, Carlin, Morgan, Kimball and Parkhurst. The President sailed tho meeting to qrilcr,.and Chaplain EfcrnshaW Offered prayer. It was decided that a sketch of the hue Sou. Btecdman, who was not a member of the soeisty, be published in Ihci annual record. Ths Treasurer's report showed a balance itt hand Ot (197. Be also said that many members Wore dollar quont, their whereabouts being unknown. Committees wcro appointed and Invitations accepted from several clubs, and tho society adjourned. In tho ovenlng they marched to Musi' hall alouo, tho local military organizations which wore to have escorted thom failing; to turn up. Ah audience or fully i2,000 was already in the ball wlioU tile society marched In, Tho Stags and walls were beatttif tllly decorated, flags, stacks of arms, tents and cannon being scattered around in profusion. Gen. Cist called the meeting to order and Introduced Gov: Foster, who welcomed the society. His references to the numerous distinguished military men present called forth loud applause, upon which Gen. Sheridan, with mock sternness, called for order. Gen. Smith D. Atkins wits then introduced as tho orator of the evening. A reunion of soldiers, said tho speaker, docs everyone good. Tho stories told by the gray-haired veterans are incentives to youthful patriotism, and childish hearts burn with awakened love of country, and childish cheeks flush with desire of emulation, whon they hear the fathers and grandsiros reciting thoir warlike deeds ami telling how they left home and families to beat1 privation and poril in defense 6f a common country. Aug. is, ISM, continued th orator, Gen. Robert Anderson, "tho hero of Sumter," organized tho Army of the Cumberland. His doiHtrtraont comprised Kentucky and Tennessee, but those States were neutral then, and tho headquarters were established at Cincinnati. Son Carlos Buel was its first command' or, and nt Hill Springs was won the first decisive victory for the Union oause by Gen. Thomus and a portion of tho Cumberland corps. At Slilloh, April 6, 1863, the armies had been fighting ell Ono day, and Step by step the Federal forces were- being driven back, when Gen. Buell led the army Of the Cumberland upon the f old and saved the day. Then camo tho race tc Louisville, and Buell beat Bragg into the city, which was the "miss" of the eampslirn. Then Gen. Rosecrans took com maud, and the victories oi Stone river, Murf 1 oasboro, Tullahoma aud Clnittanooiitt were achieved by bis corps. At Chickamanga they mot with defeat, owing to tho falut-hoartcdness of tho right wing; but it was atoned for at Missionary Ridge, when, without Orders, they swept Bragg's center from its stroll? position. Part of the Army of the Cumberland Went to the sea with Sherman; "and," concluded the orator, "Gen. George H. Thomas was tho hero of the war, and his army was the Army of the Cumberland." . (.'apt, Millard sang a song- of his own composition, written for tho occasion, after which Gen..Koscoritns responded to a call in a few words. Gen. John A. Logan was also called out, and said that, though not a member of tho Cumberland artdy, ho felt liko ho was a part of It, owing to the close relationship between it and the Army of tho Tennessee. Gen, Burnett, Chairman cC tho Committee on the Garfield monument, reported that a place had been selected in Washington, but tha select ion would require an act of Congress to make it final. Tho committee thought the monument would be completed in timo for tho reunion of 1885. Capt, Ford reported tho accession of ISO new members. The following ofneors were elected : President, Gen. Phil. H. Sheridan; Corresponding Secretary, Gen. H. M. Cist; Treasurer, Gen. G. S. Fullertou; llocording Secretary, CoL James W, Stcoln; with Vice Presidents from each State and Territory renrcsentcd.ro tho society. Rochester, N. V., was selected as the next place of meeting, Sept. 31-83 (Chickamauga week). The society then proceeded, by invitation, to the Chamber of Commerce, where Capt. Foraker, Vice President for Ohio, made an address. President Pcabody, of tho Chamber of Commerce, responded, and was followed by Gens. Sheridan, Bosecrans, Logan and others. Tho closing session consisted of a banquet at Music hall. About 800 sat down to the banquet. Gen. Roseorsns presided. Muohsatisfsotlon was expressed at tho success of the reunion.
