ignty and jurisdiction of the Commonwealth extended to all places within the boundaries thereof, subject only to such rights of concurrent jurisdiction as have been or may be granted over any places by the Commonwealth to the United States. Revised Statutes of Massachusetts, 1836, p. 56. In the acts of cession of the respective states, the terms and conditions on which the grant is made are expressed in various forms, and with differing degrees of precision. The act of New York, granting ted States at any time abandon the said lands and shoal, or appropriate them to any other purposes than those indicated in the preamble to this act, that then, and in that case, the same shall revert to and revest in this Commonwealth. See Revised Statutes of Virginia. By accepting such grants, under such conditions, the government of the United States assented to their propriety, and the principle that holds good in any one case is of course applicable to all others of the same sort, whe

But the legislature of Massachusetts has been too just and generous, too mindful of the Bill of Rights, to establish any such privilege of birth. The language of the statutes is general, and applies equally to all children, of whatever color or race. The provisions of the law regulating this subject are entitled, Of the Public Schools. (Revised Statutes, ch. 23.) The first section provides, that in Every town containing fifty families, or householders, there shall be kept in each year, at the charge of the town, by a teacher or teachers of competent ability and good morals, one school for the instruction of children in Orthography, Reading, Writing, English Grammar, Geography, Arithmetic and Good Behavior, for the term of six months, or two or more such schools for terms of time that shall together be equivalent to six months.

spent at Johnstown, dividing her time between book-delving and horse-taming, and, having an almost equal relish for each, she conquered the books in her father's library, and the horses in her father's stable. In fact, she would sometimes ride half the day over hill and meadow, like a fox-hunter, and then study law-books half the night, like a jurist. When she was busy at her embroidery or water-colors, her father, who had a poor opinion of such accomplishments, would bring to her the Revised Statutes, and say, My daughter, here is a book which, if you read it, will give you something sensible to say to Mr. Spencer and Mr. Williams when they next make us a visit. Mr. Spencer and Mr. Williams were legal magnates, who made Judge Cady's dinner-table a frequent arena for the discussion of nice points of law. So Elizabeth, with a fine determination to make herself the peer of the whole table, diligently began and pursued that study of the laws of her country, which has since armed and eq

He was merciless to a poor book, and ran a critic's knife through it with a relish. His notices of the Maine Reports and of Wedgewood's Revised Statutes, as also of Tayler's Law Glossary, some years before, illustrate his temper in this regard. He was severe in the standard which he set up for himself, and applied the same test to others. There are some amusing stories told of the way in w

of the Confederate States of America. In the next year, 1863, on the 24th day of February, it appears that the Congress of the United States, in session in Washington city, followed the Congress of the Confederate States and passed an act to establish and organize the Territory of Arizona, formerly a part of the Territory of New Mexico. The name, as will be observed, is the same as that of the Confederate Territory. See the United States Statutes-at-Large, volume twelve, page 664, or Revised Statutes of the United States, edition of 1878, page 335. It appears in the above cited act of February 24, 1863, that the United States made the Territory of Arizona of the western portion of New Mexico, by including all that part situated west of a line running due south from the point where the southwest corner of the Territory of Colorado joins the northern boundary of the Territory of New Mexico, to the southern boundary line of said Territory of New Mexico, and the same is hereby erected i
