The .Supreme Court, by
majority, has decided that the State of
Virginia must take the coupons of the
bonds of lf»7i in payment of taxes, on
the gene ml ground tlu»t the subsequent
legislation of the State authorizing the
refusal of said coupons in payment of
taxes violated the obligation of con
tract. The dissenting opinion was
based on the eleventh amendment to
the constitution of the t'nited States
under which, it was held, that the
Court- ha 1 no jurisdiction over the
case. Chief Justice Waite and Jus
tices Bradley, Miller and Gray were
the dissenting judges.
The Macon Telegraph profes^s to
Ixdloye that “a i>ermaueut protective
tarlfT’ can have no “other effect than
to cheapen all articles of successful
home manufacture.” If this be true,
why is It that manufacturers favor
protection ? Do they actually object
to getting high prices for their goods?
Are they actually conspiring to un
dersell the markets <*f tlie old world?
Arc they, actually scheming to cut
>dftwn their own profit*? The people
will not swallow tin* bald nonsense of
the Telegraph'* supposed opinion. No
sensible niau believes that manufactur
ers would favor protection, if they
thought its tendencies to be in the di
lution of cheaper goods.
In a richly furnished boudoir, re- j
cliuitig on a lounge of violet velvet, we !
find a girl at that age “where the :
brook and river meet.” - Near by sits i
a woman, in whose face we read sol- i
row, yet, that tender and true resigna
tion which should always follow.
“Read to me, Myra, I am not well 1
to-day, and the sound of your sweet •
voice always soothes me in moments of!
sadness.”
“Oh, aunt Laura,” said Myra, “I
found a poem several days ago; I
want to read it to yon, for I know you
will like it.” Springing from her
lounge, she walked quickly across tlu?
room, and from the tile of volume* on
the table selected a *crn]>-book, liound
prettily in gold and blue; then seated
herself on a low ottoman at the f«*et of
Miss Grey. “Now* listen, auntie, this
is simply lovely.’*
Myra Maleome was a natural reader,
she threw her whole soul in her mag
ical voice. Now, in-a sad.pathetic tone
she read that beautiful poem, “Sooner
or Later.” When finished, with a
quick, impatient gesture, Mvra threw
the book down, and with tears glisten
ing in those soft, restful eyes, she ex
claimed, “Stull* and nonsense, why do
people write such poetry aliout being
divided by prison bars; the idea.”
Then in a gay, light voice, liegan an
air from the late opera, as if to drive
away “the idea.”
“Oh, how 1 enjoyed that opera last
evening, and Ralph said—why! aunt
Laura, what is matter; has my poem

Raising his hat, the friend made a j j>a r rie U l ar ly interested and well in-
; torimnl on educational topics. After
the regular exercises had V*en con-
stuck his head out of the- window and
looked up and down the street in a
frenzied sort of a manner, notwith
standing the fact that he knew three
old maids, concealed liehiiid the cur
tain of a window opposite, were watch-
iiig him. He was also aware that Mrs.
Randolph Paterson, a fat w oman who
lived one house further on, was flatten
ing her nose against the pane of .glass.
Slie w as a picket guard to inform the
rest of the family of the appearance of
the bridegroom. There was also a
group of small lioys, living iu the
! neighborhood, gathered around the
door, waiting impatiently to see the
bridegroom euter his i*arriage.
“It is very stupid in you to put off
everything to the last minute,” said
Ilyde, impatiently; “it just serves yon
right.”
“I know it does,” replied the de
spairing man, “but it is too late to
argue that question now. A coat!
A coat! My kingdom for a coat!”
“I have had my doggery ready for a
week.” said Hyde, looking down at
his immaculate toilet. “A man should
never take such risks.”
A11 idea seemed to have struck Ran
som Palmer. He cast a look upon his
friend very. much like that which a
cannibal easts upon his victim.
“Thompson, my boy, you are just
about my size and build.”
“Just about,” was the response.
Seizing his friend hy the arm the
wouldbe husband exclaimed: “Lend
me your coat!”
“Dou’t talk foolishness,” n^pouded
Hyde, recoiling a step at the very
idea.*
“Prove that you are really a friend,
and lend me your swallow-tailed coat.
Nobody will*notice that you are not
dressed in the height of fashion, or
that your elbows shine.”
“O, yes, they will,” said Hyde with
a sickly smile; “but if yon are in a
swapping humor I will swap places
with you. and he the bridegroom, eh?”
“Don’t joke aliout serious things,”
exclaimed Palmer, almost with tears
in his cyesj if you have got any real
i friendship” for me don’t leave me in
: this horrible scrape, I uever afterward
; could have any confidence in you if
\ you did. Tlie first boy shall be named
after* you. Come, now, that’s a goixl
fellow/’
Then* was so much misery depicted
in the face of Palmer that his friend
surrendered. Perhaps it was the other
inducement that caused him to yield.
A moment later the exchange was
made, and the eatriage rolled off amid
the *%Iioul* of the -delighted street
Arabs/
There, were the usual congratulations
ami ceremonies; everything went off
smoothly. The bride’s mother shed
tears. Everybody seemed full of hap
piness except Thompson Hyde, who
was satisfied that the eyes of the com-
ture syinpathizad with man since the
time when the sun was darkened and
the dead walked the streets of Jerusa
lem and appeared to surviving friends,
it certainly seemed to do so on the
memorable day which nsliercd* in the
saddest news that ever fell upon, the
ears of the American people.
The hu»ii of profound dejection hung
over the city, and a weight of grief
gnawed hungrily at men’s heart*.
Stores were opened, hut no buyers
went iu. and none were wanted. The
shock had fallen writh stunning effect
upon every honest bosom. The bru
tality of the deed was inconceivable
and the blow to the nation overwhelm
ing. The novelty of the crime in tlie
republic made its deformity more hid
eous. It seemed as if we* had turned
over a new page in history, and be
come suddenly possessed of new na
tures aud.new* destinies—the one bale
ful and ungovernable, and the other
leading to shipwreck—just as we were
sailing into port with every pennon
fi uttering and the sound of joyous can
non still beating in our ears. *
The transition from a city decorated
. for victory to a city hung with mourn
ing had a tragic effect that made the
reaction overpower! ug. The flags
were furled iu crape and festoons of
sable drapery, heavy as if with tears,
crept from window to w indow. The
bells which rang gaily the day before
tolled slower than men’s sinking
pulses. Ere noon arrived the whole
city was hung in black. The blinds of
the palace were closed as if the corpse
lay in the house, and bunches of crape
were tied to the crazy shutters of the
negro hovel, where the inmates, j»er-
(infis, robbed themselves' of bread to
purchase the sorrowful emblem.
Shrouded potraits of the blunt, kindly
face, ride by side with Washington’s,
were placed in windows, and were
looked ou by eyes that grew moist and
ran over. The grief was not noisy—it
was profound, unspeakable.
President Lincoln had occupied the
evening previous at Ford’s Theatre;
two boxes which had been throwu
into one. His party consisted of only
polite bow, at the same time saying:
“Good evening Mr. Bennett.”
“Good evening.” replied Bennett
“I wish you luck.”

“So yqn do smoke, after all ? But-—

“That is not my cigar case.” said
Palmer, trying to look indifferent; “it

Palmer, as she closed her fingers

with a fine white piK*ket handkerchief,

Five minntes later the train stopped
at a railroad station, ami Palmer got
out of the car to get his wife some re
freshments, for it was a very w'arm
day. She utilized the opportunity to
open the letter. It was written in a
small female hand signed, “Your

To say that Mrs. Palmer was exas

rage. The hushaud, when lie return

the uuknown man with both bauds by

scuttle ensued. In which the assassin
made a thrust at the Major, grazing bis
breast and piercing bus left arm near
the shoulder. Something seemed to
give way about the mail's coat collar;
he* got loose and disamieared. The
inoke prevented the Major or Mis-
Harris from jetting a fair view of the
fellow, aud Mr*. Lincoln did not see
him until he leaped out of the 1m>x.
Her lir?t impression was that it was
her huslmid who leaped out. This
shows how quickly the whole affair
passed.
