Justice Harlan, of the Supreme Court of the United States, has de livered the opinion in the case of JannKoori vs. thc United States, in volving the validity of the Massa chusetts State law, giving authority to the health authorities of cities and towns ip the State to impose com pulsory vaccination regulations. Ile held the law to be constitutional on the ground that the protootion of the health of a community may be ex ercised by the State as a police regu lation. Ln the course of his opinion Justioe Harlan said : "While this court should guard with firmness every right pertaining to life, liberty, or property, as se cured to the individual by the su preme law of the land, it is of the last importance that it should not invade the domain of local authority exoept when it is plainly necessary so to do in order to enforoe that law. The safety and the health of the people of Massachusetts are, in the first instance, for that commonwealth to guard and protect. They are matters that ordinarily do not con cern the National Govornwent. So far as they oan be reached by any government, they depend primarily upon such aot?on as tho State in its wisdom may take, and we do not perceive that this legislation has in vadod any right secured by the Federal constitution." Hu added that thu opinion should not be construed as a decision to giant no relief in oases in whioh police power of a State is abused to the injury of the individual.

BROWN'S ESTATE. Heir? of Distinguished Georgian Fall Out. h Some Ugly Charge? ara Mad?. A tip uta, Ga., February 24.-Tho peti tion flied by the heirs of the Gov. Joseph E. Brown estate, calling for the removal , of Julius L. and Joseph M. Brown as - executors, bas created a profound sensa tion in Atlanta's social and business cir cles, .state politicians aro also interested on account of the prominence of Rail road Commissioner Joeeph M. Brown, < who has taken suob an active interest in scouring a reduction in freight ratea for Atlanta and other Georgia cities. The short, hut sizzling reply of Julius 1 L. Brown, has stirred the matter even i deeper, as he makes no attempt to ooo- , oeal the bitterness-of bia feeling. His j expression of regret that bia brother? and sisters should have passed such revere criticism on bim and bis brother . waa made more in sarcasm than in earn- I est His "absolutely false" to the $90,- 1 025.58 charge demonstrates that he wa? ( familiar witb the circumstances of tho petition even before it was flied. Joseph M. Brown was not so outspoken I aa his brother and oo-exeoutor, Julius, t His statement to the effect that what he ] has to say will be stated in tho oourt , room by his attorneys assures a long litigation over the estate of the war Governor and United States Senator. 1 He said the petitioners are the sons and t daughters of his own father and mother, ( whioh is taken by his friends to moan that he cannnr. understand hov? auou close relatives could have made suoh * serious charges. < Tho life and habits of Julius Brown < have been an open book for several years j past. Tho petitioners unhesitatingly t oharge him with habitual drunkenness, idleness, lavish entertaining and unfit ness for business. They also oharge that Joseph Brown know of this condition of ? affairs and permitted his brother to con- r tinue in oharge of the estate. The estate is variously estimated to be worth auywhere from a million to a mil- 1 lion and a half dollars. The value of the Texas and Colorado lands is not known, j but the property in Atlanta is principally t central, and at one time was considered the most desirable in the oity. It con sists of an entire blook on Wall street, N immediately opposite the union depot, which oomprises the Brown building, ? several stores on Alabama street, in the j very heart of the wholesale district, tho building formerly occupied by the Frank ^ E. Blook Manufacturing Company, and one of the largest of the old buildings, besides several other stores and house? , in various sections of the oity. ^ All of the Browns bavo taken a leading part in the business and social; life of < Georgia. Mrs. Connally is the (wife of 1 Dr. E. L. Connally, one of tho wealthiest 1 men of the oity. She is the mother of Joe Brown Connally, grandson of the deoeased Governor, and his namesake. Mr. Connally is one of the sooial lights of this* oity, and is frequently called upon to lead germans, participate at fushionable| weddings and other sooial events. Elijah A. Brown is well known over the State. He is a capitalist, and one of the leading members of the Seeond Bap tist church. The others are equally 1 well known. Rosser & Brandon have boen retained to represent tho petitioners, while the co-executors have not yet announced who will represent them. It ls a fore gone conclusion, however, that a long legal fight will result, as neither Julius nor Joseph Brown arel,men to yield lightly when they think; they bavo right on their sido.

[Floreneo Times.] The man behind the hoe asks for help, Mr. Editor, for in all tho talk about the reduction of tho cotton acreago I hnvo not seen a suggestion that helps the man behind tho boo. Honestly thu landlords of tho cotton belt bavo this "matter in their own power and can reduce tho crop if they will. A landlord was pleading with a farmer and advauced) tho argu ment that the latter could pay him 4 bales out of 12 produced, and^make moro money than ho could make if ho should pay him four bales out of sixteen pro duced. By tho way, said tho tenant, if you will reduce your rout 25 por cont, and take three bales, I will reduce roy crop 25 per cont and you can get $150 for throe bales. But, if you demand four halos, it will bring you only $100; now yon can mahn $150, and at|tho same time help me to reduce my crop. This sooms to be a plain and simple proposition, but it is tho milk in the cocoanut. Gen tlemen, help tho man behind tho hoo rod nee the crop. x. v.

Story Recalled by DUcusston of th? Assas sination-The Point I" J. W. Tenob in Atlanta. Journal.] The following I take from the January number of the Confederate Veteran : uTbe AtMMUHination of President Lincoln. "The Religious Telescope, Dayton, Ohio, says : " 'It waa slavery's attempt, in its leath struggle, to deal a stunning t>low to the head of the nation that A-as crushing out its life-a blow lu ?Ut iu a desperate revenge for its having been compelled to submit to ?he triumph of liberty. It was ilavery in its dying throes, adminis tering to itself its o wn scorpion sting, thereby rendering its own oharaoter ioably despicable, and its own death more certain and everlasting. Hence, the cause (slavery) of Lincoln's as lassination being forever annihi lated, no such despicable a crime oan igain spring from that source.' " "Well, now, as Lincoln ia said to lave said, this reminds me of a little itory, and in this oonneotion I am unstrained to tell it. Svtmn timo ?gc TtLoU lhere was io much discussion of the money question, two men were in a railway soach all to themselves, and as the ?abit of men is, when thus situated, hey soon became ohatty. "Where are you bound ?" said A. "Up to Chattahoochee," replied B. 'I'm orazy and I'm going up to the tsylum for treatment." "Why, what caused the trouble?" inked A. "Music," was the answer. "I read nusio, I wrote rausio, I sung, played, ai ked, Hved music until my mind lipped a oog and here I am on my vay to the mad house." "Happy to have met you," said A. (I am buggy myself and as I am >ouud for Chattahoochee, also, we viii be company for each other." "What's your trouble ?" said B. "Well, I went daft on the money question. "I couldn't bear anything mt gold standard, free silver, sound jurrenoy, and it all rumbled and mixed inside my head until my wits left me." "Are you a banker ?" said B. "No." "Railroad magnate ?" "No." "Trust attorney ?" "No." "Well, what is your oalling?" "Bricklayer," said A. "Say, now, my friend," said B, "go lome, turn back at the next station md go home tc your family, you are lot orazy, I know /ou are not. Be i sensible man ate! go home to your !amily." "Well, since you seom to know so nuch about my case, toll me what's ,he matter with me," said A. "Well," said B, "you are not crazy, you have mistaken the symptoms. Jfou are simply ono of those plain, natural-born home-made d-n fools, >f which the world seems at this time x> be quite plentiful."

Wi Ground Hog Story and the Weather. I Atlanta Co5?t!t=t!ca, Fobiu*i* 20.j "If the old ground-hog story stands for anything, and for ono T firmly be lieve tn it, we haven't seon the ond of the bad weather yet," remarked a wea ther man yesterday. "When I was a kid at home I heard my father and my grand father talk about the ground-hog, and they believed in him. Naturally I bad faith in the story. February 2 is ground hog day. You know the story ? No f Well, if the ground-bog oomes out on that day-that's the day ho comos from his hibernating-and sees bis shadow ho darts baok into his hole and remains there another six weeks taking it easy, because he knows the weathor will be bad for that period. But if it's cloudy and he doesn't see his shadow, he will remain out, because ho knows the wea ther will be good. Now, that's the story. It has boen told for years and years, and I believe in it. So do many others. Well, the 2d of February flus year was a pretty day, with a bright sun. The ground-hog saw his shadow and went back, and the very next day the weathor wont wrong. To me that ground-hog is as good as a national weather bureau. Watoh it yourself hereafter. I'll bet there are many A th,nt i ans who believe in the story." Will of MoCuo Probated.
