Cooley’s Hen.
Cooley has had some trouble with one
of his hens. 8ho wanted to set and he
didn't want her to. lie pat her under a
barrel, dneked her at the pump, throw
her in the air and reasoned with her, but
she would persist in going back to the
nest. Finally, he put a not poroeluiu
egg unier her, but she skipped about
uutil it cooled, and theu she returned sud
sat dowu ou the egg with an air of having
determined to hatch a set of crockery and
a couple of flower pots out of a poroelain
delusion. Then Cooley resolved to blow
her olT. He plaoed half a pound of gun-
powder under the uest, and laid a slow
match out iuto the yard. As soon as he
saw the hen safely seated be went into
the kitchen to get a light. Meantime,
Mrs. Cooley entered tho hen house to
huut for eggs and to ascertain if that
idiotio chicken was sitting yet. Then
Cooley came out and fired the train. In
a couple of minutes there was a fearful
explosion. A second later, Mrs. Cooley
emerged precipitately from the door with
her mouth full of feathers, her hair full
of blazing straw and warm blood, and au
assortment of drumsticks, gizzards and
claws distributed around over her dress.
Theu she made a dash at Cooley. What
the result was I do not know. But I met
him on the following Tuesday with court-
plaster on his nose and a look of sub
jection in his eyes, and ho informed me
confidentially that tho hen of Bis that
wanted to set might set iu peace through
out the ages of timo nud all through the
unending cycles of eternity before he
would bother himself about her.

of the engine. The conductor stationed
himself on tho pilot, and as the train ap
proached the birds, they took to tho wing,
rising directly in front of the ongioe. For
a few seconds, which Reemed like minutes
there was a most exciting race, but the train
was too fast for tho birds, and as it
caught up with them the smoke-stack
knocked throe or four of thorn to grasR,
and Mr. Carney caught one monstrous
gobler, by tbo legs, and so strong was the
bird, and ho m ule such a struggle, that
it was only by dosperate effort Mr. Carnoy
could retain his place on the pilot with
one hand and hold the bird with 1lie other.

KXOrriHO INTELLIGENCE FROM CORPUS
CliniSTI—DEPQEDATIONS AND
OVTBAOB8 OF MEXI
CAN BANDITS.
Galveston, March 28.—A Nm» special
from Corpus Christ!, March 27, says:
The band of Mexicans came within seven
miles of town, robbed several stores and
houses and took a large number of Ameri
cans prisoners, among (hem Judge Gilpin,
formerly a member of the Legislature,
and two women. Thoy compelled all the
captives to walk in front of them until
they were exhausted, then mounted some
of them ou barebaok horses and hurried
them off. They robbed aud burned the
post-office at Nueoos, aud robbed aud
took primer ttuRsil ridsr. TDa WmM4
have gone in pursuit.
A fl^ht is reported near Banquette, one
Mexican and two Americans killed. All
except four persons esciped. Nolhiug
has boon heard of them. Business is
mcstly suspended, and citizens are nndor
arms guarding the towu. Iuformatiou
received from Los Olmes, Nueoos county,
says, throughout the eutire region be
tween here and the ltio Grande, lawless
bands from Mexico are continually raid
ing through tho country, robbing, mur
dering and driving stock across tho river.
They have become so daring of late that
nearly all travel ou the highway has
censed; even stock men are deterred from
hunting their cattle and horses, for fear
of falling into the hands of these ruffians.
They entertain an especial enmity to
Americans and woo to tho lucklass white
man that falls into their clutches. At
present there seems to be a concerted
movement on the part of these villains to
clean up all the white mon within striking
distance of the ltio Grande—50 to
milos—and even further, whore ingress
and egress can bo safely effected. To
this end they havo been crossing the
river in small detachments for the past
weok, aud it is estimated that there are
now on Texas soil at least 300 armed
bandits.
ltumor hath it that several Americans
near tho river have been murdered by
them.
The rumor comes in that the Mexicans
havo cleaued out a company or two of
negro soldiers at Ban Luis, ou the Bio
Grande, about forty miles below Bio
Grande City, and a number of armed
men were seen hovering near this place.
A great many Mexioans reside here, but
thoy oannot be depended upon for as
sistance in a contest in which their coun
trymen are engaged.
Nearly the entire Rio Grande frontier
of Toxas, embracing a belt of from fifty
to one hundred miles in width, is inhab
ited mostly by Mexicans, many of whom,
though taking uo active part iu the forays
of the thieves, yet sympathize with und
givo them secret aid and comfort.
It is woll known tli it a wide-spread
fooling of animosity and deadly hatred
exists iu tho minds of the frontier Mexi
cans ngAinst Texans, and it. is cropping
out so alarmingly that unless thorough
measures aro adopted by the National
Government or State Government the
comparatively few Americans living and
doing business iu this region will be mur
dered or forced to leave this country.

London, Maroh 21).—Tho Spanish Gov

The Ice Gorge.
WiLKESBAiir.E, Pa., March 29.—The
zens of the State wherein they reside;
but it did not require that amendment to
make them snob, they were before per
sons and people, and were not in terms
excluded from oitixenship by the Consti
tution. The Fedoral Constitution wes or
dained by tho people of the United States,
composed of the people of the several
States, and whoever, at the time of its
adoption, was one of the people became
a citizen, and all ohildren born of citizen
parents within its jurisdiction are them
selves citixens. The naturalization laws
are reviewed to ehow that women alwaye
have been considered oitizena the same aa
men, also the laws giving jurisdiction in
Federal oases.
It is then said that the Fourteenth
Amendment did not affeot the oitizenahip
of women any more than it did of men,
and thus Miners' rights do not depend on
it. She has always been a citizen from
her birth, ontitled to all the privileges,
immunities, etc., of citizenship. The
amendment prohibited the Stete in which
she lives from abridging any of these
rights. The right of suffrago is not mado,
in terms, one of the privileges of the citi
zen. The United States has no voters,
and no one cen vote for Federal officers
without being competent to vote for State
officers. The eleotive officers of the
United States are chosen direotly or indi
rectly by the voters of the States. The
amendment did uot add to the privileges
or immunities of the citizen; it simply fur
nished additional guaranty for the pro
tection of enoh as ho already had. Nor ia
the right of suffrage coextensive with the
citizenship of the States.
When the Federal Constitution waa
adopted, all the States but Rhode Island
had Constitutions of their own, in not
one of whioh were ell citizens reoognized
as entitled to this right; and, under all
these ciroamstsnoes, it cannot for a mo
ment be doubted that if it bad beeu in
tended to make all citizens of the United
States voters, the powers of the Connti-
stitution would have ao expressed that iu-
tention, and uot have left so important a
ch-uige in the condition of citizenship
it then existed to implication ; but, if
further evidence is needed, it is to be
found in other provisions of tho Consti
tution.
If suffrage is necessarily a part of citi
zenship, then that provision of the Con-
stitiiHoa which gives oitizena of eaoh
State all the privileges and immunities of
citiz - *; in the sevoral States would enti
tle the citizens of each State to the right
to vote in the several States precisely as
the citizens of these States are. Other
provisions, among them that relating to
the apportionment of representatives,
were cited to the same point. But still
again, after the adoption of the Four
teenth Amendment, it waa found necessa
ry to use in the Fifteenth Amendment the
following language: “The right of citi
zens of the United Statee to vote shall
not be denied or abridged by the United
States, or by any Stats, on acooant of
race, color or previous condition of servi
tude.”
The Fourteenth Amendment had pro
vided against any abridgment of the
privileges or immunities of citizens; aud
if the right of suffrage is one of them,
why amend the Constitution further to
prevent its being denied on acoonnt of
race, color, Ao. The duty of the United
States to guarantee to the States a
republican form of government is dis
charged in protecting those governments
which were reoognized as being republi
oan in form by the Constitution when
adopted. The governments of tbo States
being then aooepted, it must be assumed
that they are suob as are to be guaranteed
The admission of new States ia theu
considered, and it is found that there ia
nothing to favor the idea that suffrage is
a right of citizenship, bnt everything to
repel it; also the restoration of the States
to the Union after the war—none of them
having provided for female suffrage,
Besides, a person who hits simply declared
his intention to becotno a citizen of the
United States may vote, nnder certain cir-
cu usances, in Missouri and other States,
and this coaid not be, if suffrage depend
ed upon the right of citizenship.
The Court are unanimous in the opin
ion that the Constitution of the United
States does not confer the right of suf
frage upon anyone, and that the constitu
tions of the several Stales which commit
that trust to men alone are not necessari
ly void. Affirmed.
The Chief Justice delivered the opinion,
would be no rest until the enormous judi
cial crime was rectified.
