NOTES ON QUESTIONS.
In the petition sent to Congress
in 1790 African Slavery was desig
nated because Indian captives
were held as slaves and used as
domestic servants throughout the
New England States. The Indians
were not included in petition.
Resolution passed hv Senate in
1808, That domestic slavery as it
exists in the Southern and West
ern States of this Union, composes
an important part of their domes
tic institutions, inherited from
their ancestors, and existing at the
adoption of Constitution, by which
it is recognized as constituting an
important element in the appor
tionment of powers among the
States, and that no change of opin
ion or feeling, on the part of the
other States of the Union in rela
tion to it can justify them, or their
citizens in open and systematic at
tacks thereon, with view to its
overthrow, and that all such at
tacks are a manifest violation of
the mutual and solemn pledge to
protect and defend each other,
given by the States respectively,
on entering into the Constitutional
compact which formed the Union,
and as such, are a manifest breach
of faith, and a violation of the
most solemn obligation.
Readings from a speech of
Jefferson Davis, delivered in Bos
ton, Mass,, October, 1858.
Referring to the discussion in
regard to the Fugitive Slave Law.
“What, my friends, must be the
consequences? Good or evil?
T .ey have been evil, and evil they
must be only to the end.
Not one particle of good has
been done to any man, of any
! color, by this agitation, it has
! been insidiously working, for the
' purpose of sedition, for the de
; struction of that Union on which
our hopes of future greatness de
pend. On the one side, then, you
see agitation tending slowlv and
steadily to that separation of
States, which, if you have any
hope connected with the liberty of
mankind: if you have any national
pride connected with making
your country the greatest on the
face of the earth; if you have any
sacred regard for the obligations
which the deeds and blood of your
I fathers entailed upon you, that
hope should prompt you to reject
anything that would tend to de
stroy the result of that experi
ment which they left to you to
conclude and perpetuate.
On the other hand, if each com
munity, in accordance *with the
principles of our government
should regard its domestic inter
ests as a part of the common
whole, and struggle for the bene
fit of all, this would steadily lead
us to fraternity, to unity, to co
operation, to the increase of our
happiness and the extension of
the benefits of our useful example
over mankind. The Flag of the
Union, whose stars have already
more than doubled their original
number, with its ample folds may
wave, the recognized flag of every
State, and the recognized protec
tor of every State upon the Conti
nent of America.
EARLY TESTIMONY IN FAVOR OF
STATES RIGHTS FROM MASS.
“President Washington visited
Boston when John Hancock was
governor and Hancock refused to
call upon the President, because
he contended that any man who
came within the limits of Massa
chusetts must yield rank and pre
cedence to the Governor of the
State.
He eventually only surrendered
the point on account of his per
sonal regard and respect for the
character of George Washington.
Answers to all of these ques
tions can be found in the History
of the United States, by Alexander
H. Stephens.

COT HIS NOTES FMXED UP
Absent-Minded Man Has Some Diffi
culty at the Book Store and
the Grocers'.
As the little man walked absent
mindedly along the sidewalk he sud
denly stopped in front of a bookstore.
It recalled to him the meaning of that
piece of string on his finger, and with
a brightened face he entered.
“Just a minute,” he feaid to the
clerk. “My wife wanted me to get
a book for her —a certain novel she's
heard a good deal about. I must find
the memorandum she gave me. She
wrote the name on a slip of paper,
and I put It in my pocket.”
After considerable fumbling he pro
duced a small bit of paper, and laying
it on the counter, tbok out his spec
tacles and adjusted them on his nose.
“Here’s the name—Cobb's Corna
tine. Yes, that’s it.”
“I—l’m afraid I don’t know the
book, sir,” said the clerk apologetical
ly, “but I’ll look through the list of
new ones.” And he ran his eye over
the list on the wall. “No, I’m sorry
to say I can’t find it here. You are
sure of the name?”
“Yes, it’s right here on this piece
of paper.”
“Well, I’m afraid we haven’t got
it then.”
“But —but I don’t dare to go home
to my wife without it. I promised to
get it for her.”
The clerk called to another in the
back of the store, wtio came forward.
To the other he said: “Say, Bill, do
you know of a book called Cornatine,
by a fellow named Cobb?”
“What’s that?” he asked in sur
prise.
The old gentleman broke In:
“Cobb’s Cornatine. Here, see for
yourself.”
“I’m afraid you’ve made a mistake.”
said the new arrival with a twinkle.
''Cobb’s Cornatine is a new breakfast
food.”
“Ah, now I see why the grocer
didn’t understand me when I asked
him for a package of Queed,” remark
ed the customer in manifest relief.

Woman’s Sense of Honor.
Much has been done by our own
higher education and widening field
of work, and a woman now despises
what used to be by repute her most
formidable weapons—a lie, tears and
a skillful appeal to the vanity of man.
The writer has often noticed the
markedly greater breadth of view and
the truer sense of honor among the
present-day girl students compared
with that which obtained When she
herself was a student, and which Is
still largely that of women of her
own age today. An even more strik
ing fact Is that the majority of men
do not seem to expect as keen a sense
of honor from women as they do from
themselves. This mental atmosphere
has surely a deterrent effect upon the
growth of that sense.—A Woman
Teacher, in London Spectator.
Churches Must Advertise.
A. H. Travis, religious work editor
of the Twenty-third Street, New York,
Y. M. C. A., gave a talk before the
Adcrafters of New York on “Churcn
Advertising,” the other evening. Air.
Travis said ,that churches that try to
do aggressive work must advertise in
order to interest the public, just as
other institutions are obliged to adver
tise to advance their purposes.
