STATE DIVISION.
States Which Have Been
Dismembered.
A Nnmbei- of Examples in the
Past.
The National Constitution Provides
for Such Measures.
Maine, Uawaennsetta and Georgia H»?«
Keen Cat Up—How New Statea
Were Made.
(BT B. A. CECIL STEPHENS —ARTICLE XH).
•
The state of Georgia was divided in
1802, agreeably to the clause in the
national constitution for the "dismem
bering of large states." The charter ol
Georgia was granted by King George II
on June 9,1732. See Am. Cyc.) The
grant included the territory of tbe pres
ent state of Georgia from the Savannah
river to the Altamaba river. The
United States, nearly ten years after tbe
ratification of the federal constitution,
with its state-dismembering clause, ac-
knowledged the jurisdiction of Georgia
when the territory of Mississippi was
formed by the act of April 7, 1793, "sub
ject to the claims of Georgia."
The state of Georgia, by act of April
24, 1802. consented to the eepara
tion of tbe territory of the Mis
sissippi as proposed by congress,
and in turn annexed that part of Soutli
Carolina, which the latter state had
ceded to the general government in
1787. The territory divided from Geor
gia embraced an area of about 100,000
square miles.
One of the finest instances of state
division is that of Massachusetts.
This occurred in 1820, and the segre
gated portion became the "state of
Maine." The Plymouth company was
grated a patent on November 8, 1620, by
King James I, for all lands between the
40th and 48th parallels of north latitudf
and from sea to sea. The colony of
Mapsachussetts bay was formed by rove I
charter on March 4, 1629. In 1652
Maine waa incorporated with Ma.>sa
cbuesetts. Massachusetts ratified the
national constitution, with its state-dis
membering clause, on February 6, 1788.
Says the American Encyclopedia:
"In 1820 a convention to revise the
constitution (of Massachusetts) proposed
various amendments, nine oi wLuci
were ratified by the popular vote. Ii
the same year the district of Maine was
separated irom Massachusetts, with the
consent of the latter, and erected into a
state. . . . The final separation of
Maine from Massachusetts took place
March 15,1820, when she was admitted
into the union as an independent
Btate."
This was a most remarkable instance
of state division. For 163 yeara Maine
bad been a "district of Massachusetts."
Massachusetts was a "large state," and
could afford to be "dismembered," as
the national constitution permits.
Before this division the total area of
th" state of Massachusetts waa about
42,800 square milea, and the popula
tion was 821,622. The acta of
were taken in exactly legal
lines. First, the legislature of Massa
cbusetts gave her conßent to the di
vision of the state by act of June 19,1819.
Second, the people of the "district ol
Maine" adopted a constitution for their
proposed new state on October 29, 1819.
and applied on December 8, 1819, to
congress for an pnahlini? act. Third,
congress gave its consent by act of
March 3. 1820. Fonrth, the proclama
tion of President Monroe on March 15,
1820. was the final act which created
the "state" of Maine" and admitted it
into the union of states. This is the
reason why emphasis is always laid on
the word "state when speaking of
Maine, becauee it had been merely a
district of Massachusetts for so many
years and its people were so elated over
their political independence. Note the
order of events:
1. The legislature of Massachusetts
crnsented to the division.
2. Maine framed a constitution.
3. Congress consented.
4. The president admitted.
Notice how closely the letter and how
fully the spirit of the national constitu
tion was followed.
After the division Massachusetts had
an area of 7800 square milea ahd Maine
had about 35,000 square miles. At the
time of the division, Massachusetts
proper had a population of 523,287, and
Maine had 298,335. Massachusetts lost
36 per cent of her population, and 81.77
per cent of her area by the division.
In 1820 Maine had 57 per cent of as
much population as Massachusetts, and
548 per cent more area. In 1880,
Maine has 36 per cent of as much popu
lation as Massachusetts, while the
population of the latter state had in
creased 337 per cent from 1820 to 1880.
During the tame period the population
of Maine increased 217 per cent. In
1885 Maine had a total assessment of
$208,709,381. The Bame year the assess
ment of Massachusetts was $1,765,879,
--778. So it did not hurt these two states
to set np housekeeping by themselves.
Texas came into the union with the
distinct understanding that subsequently
she might be divided into four more
states. She had been a state of the
Mexican republic, and had been colon
ized by Americans, who in 1835 de
i clared their independence and eecured
it by force of arms. Mr. Cooley says on
page 174 of hie book entitled Principles
of Constitutional Law:
"There is a provision in the joint res
olution for the annexation of Texas for
tbe formation of four other states from
its territory, with the consent of the
state, but no action to that end was ever
taken."
That any legal or constitutional ob
stacles to such a provision for state divi
sion were ever known is shown by the
same author again on page 170 of his
work:
"The debates which took place in con
gress, while the subject of the annexa
tion of Texas was under discussion, arid
the contemporaneous political discus
sions elsewhere, give the opposing views
on this subject. Most of the "discus
sions, however, involved policy rather
than constitutional power."
The joint resolution of congress for
the annexation of Texas, approved
March 5, 1845, contains the following
condition and guarantee:
"New states of convenient size, not
exceeding four in number, in addition
to the eaid state of Texas, nnd
having sufficient population may
' hereafter, by the consent of Baid
state be formed out of the territory
there, which shall be entitled to admis
sion under the provisions of the federal

States upon that question.

Marco liozzarta.
Soon after Fitz-Greene Halleck had
published his stirring "Marco Bozzaris,"
he repeated the poem to a lady, an inti
mate friend of his. She expressed great
admiration of the beautiful lines, but
when he was in full enjoyment of what
he considered her perfect appreciation
she surprised him by the innocent query:
"Who was Marco Bozzaris?"
"Well," said Mr. Halleck, despondent
ly, "what's the use of becoming martyrs
for liberty or of poets celebrating heroes
if ladies won't even inform themselves
about the events of the day?"
The remembrance of another incident
connected with the poem never failed to
elicit a groan from its author.
At a certain dinner party at which ho
was present, it was expected that each
man should sing a song or make a speech.
Among the guests was a Dutch Jew,
whose English was execrable, and he
had been previously persuaded by a joker
to commit tho whole of Marco Bozzaris
to memory that he might recite it for the
gratification of the poet and the poet's
friends.
The day caino and the Dutchman was
called upon to speak.
"Shentlemans," said he rising, "I can
neither make de speech nor sing desong.
but 1 vill deliver yon grand poem."
This he proceeded relentlessly to do,
and Halleck, when he heard his harmo
nious measures delivered in a mixture
of English and Dutch, was divided be
tween the temptation to laugh and cry.
—Youth's Companion. »
He Reckoned He Would Kirn.
One of the most interesting characters
in American history is General Zachary
Taylor, "Old Rough and Ready,"heroof
Buena Vista, father-in-law of Jefferson
Davis and twelfth president of the United
States. We all recollect how Daniel
Webster sneered at him, before he was
nominated, as a "backwoods colonel,"
and refused to let his friends put him on
the ticket for vice president with Taylor
for first place, thereby missing his last
and, as the sequel showed, best chance
of becoming president. Millard Fill
more, of New York, took the despised
second place and thereby had nearly
three years in the White House.
General Sherman used to tell an amus
ing little story of Taylor anent his nomi
nation for the presidency. At that time
General Taylor was stationed at New Or
leans. He was a Kentuckian and the
Kentuckians were very properly proud of
him. One day shortly before the conven
tion met at Baltimore he was approached
at New Orleans by an old Kentucky
friend, who said:
"General, we want you to run for presi
dent."
"Who wants me to run?" asked Gener
al Taylor seriously.
"Why, we do—all your old neigh
bors."
"Well, then, if that's the case," replied
the old hero, without changing the ex
pression of his face, "I reckon I'll have
to run."—Detroit Free Press.
Finding His Bride.
In one part of the Canton of Ticiuo a
very quaint marriage ceremony prevails.
The bridegroom dresses in his "Sunday
best," and accompanied by as many
friends and relatives as he can muster
for the fete goes to claim his bride.
Finding the door locked he demands
admittance; tho inmates ask him his
business, and in reply he solicits the
hand of his chosen maiden.
If his answer be deemed satisfactory
he is successively introduced to a num
ber of matrons and maids, some perhaps
deformed and others old and ugly. Then
he is presented to some large dolls, all
of which he rejects with scorn, amid
general merriment. The bewildered
bridegroom, whose impetuosity and
temper are now sorely tried, is then in
formed that his lady love is absent and
invited in to see for himself.
Ho rushes into the house and searches
from room to room until he finds her in
her bridal dress, ready to go to church.
Then are his troubles "over and his state
as a benedict assured.—Swiss Republic.
Trying to Buy Back Hia Own Body.
This queer story comes from Massa
chusetts: A man who lives in a suburb
of Lowell is seeking to have a deed given
by him twenty years ago recovered. The
deed conveyed his body to a surgeon now
practicing in Great Falls, N. H., for the
sum of ten dollars and other considera
tions, possession to be taken on his death.
Since tho deed was made the giver has
made a fortune iv South America'and
has decided that he would like a Chris
tian burial. The deed provides that the
body shall be dissected and the skeleton
articulated and presented to a medical
university. The lawyers have decided
that the deed holds good and that the
only alternative is to buy off the doctor.
The giver of the deed has made a big
offer, but it has been refused.—Hartford
Oourant.

ALMOST BURIED IN CINDERS.
Be Wen tbe Bet. Got fearfully Dirty,
but Didn't Get the Money After AIL
He stood in the Grand Central station
fanning himself with his hat, and the
cinders on his bald head looked like pep
per on a nard boiled egg. Every square
inch of his short fat person was begrimed
and dirty.
" *S'pose I look like a Digger Indian
just dug," he remarked, putting his head
into the window at the bureau of infor
mation, and letting his imitation leather
valise drop on the floor with a thud.
"Oh, well a little jagged, perhaps," re
sponded the clerk politely.
"No jag around me," said the dirty
tourist indignantly. "I only got in ten
minutes ago."
"SoT
"Yes. Haven't washed senco we left
Council Bl'iffs. Would you believe it?"
"Oh, yes."
"We had a gay time, I tell yer."
"How's that?'' inquired the clerk.
"Well, you see, a feller from South
Dakota opened the winder just in front
of me a while after we had started and
the cinders come in like it was a hail
storm. I didn't want to 'pear disobligin,
so I stood it fer three hours, and then I
leaned over to the South Dakota feller,
and says I, -Little dusty, ain't it?* 'Meb
be,' says he. -Would you mind shuttin
down that winder fer a spell?" says I, as
perlite as you please. 'I find it very
annoyin.' "I would mind,' says he, 'and
if I can stand it, TU bet you can.' 'Well,
if it's a bet, you say,' says I, 'I'm in it. I
don't let no South Dakota feller bluff
me. I'll bet you fifty dollars, even
money, you'll weaken on that open win
der before 1 do.'
"He looked surprised, but he aays, 'It's
ago.'
"We put up the money with the con
ductor, and he snuggled up to his winder
and I behind, takin the dust sorter sec
ond hand. At tho end of the first twenty
four hours we wasn't purty fer a cent,
and I seed the other feller was squirmin
a good deal. So when the train stopped
fer dinner 1 sneaked out to the engineer
and gave him my last ten dollar bill, and
says I winkin, 'When you start np the
engine it'll be a pcrtickler favor to me
if you won't screen back them cinders;
let 'em flicker for two or three hours;
just buzz out every cinder you've got.'
" 'My coal,' says he, a wiukin back, 4i
terrible soft and muddy today.'
"Well, sir, the next three hours was
awful. I never seed such smoke aud
coal dust anywhere. Tho way that en
gine snorted and blowed and them cin
ders rattled and pat tered most scared the
passengers off the train. It actually
seemed as though the screen business
had busted clean out of the smokestack
and let the coal blow through in chunks.
The dirt was so thick on my face you
could have wrote my name in it, but
that feller from South Dakota he caught
them cinders right in the neck. He was
almost buried. There was cinders in
his hair, cinders in his mustache; they
worked down inside his collar; into his
vest pockets. And when he started to
brace up on a chew blamed if he didn't
bite more cinders than tobacker. About
then it came up to rain, and for an hour
that feller from South Dakota locked
like he was dredged up from a mud
pond. When the rain stopped and he
was wipin down the mud, along come a
red hot cinder as big as a pea and lit on
his beard. The brakeman helped him
put out the fire, but just then the train
stopped and that feller riz up and says
he, "I weaken, take the cash,' and he
walked right off the train. Then all the
passengers congratulated me. They
said I was dirty, but game."
"So you got the money?" inquired the
clerk with some interest.
"Well that's the trouble," rejoined the
dirty traveler. "While I was fixin the
engineer blamed if that onery cnss
wasn't goin me one better and fixin the
conductor, and they froze to the cash
and skipped together. The trouble with
me is," added the grimy traveler, gazing
out pensively at the Forty-second street
hackmen, "that I'm too honorable and
eonfidiu, always been so. Say," lie added
in a whisper, poking his dirty head in
the window, "gimme a qnarter fer a
wash, will ye#?"—New York Tribune.
Caught.
At a certain station lun<o quantities of
plums and apples were br ing reported
as missing almost daily in the large
hampers and baskets that were sent to
London. Circumstances pointed to the
probability of the pilfering taking place
at the sending station. The agent hit
upon a novel plan for detecting the thief.
He had a lad porter placed in one of
these hampers returning empty, which
was large enough to hold him, covered
the top with canvas and labeled it
"Plums—Perishable," with the address
in full.
Toward midnight the lad got cramped
and felt anxious to get out, but he stuck
manfully to his post. By and by one of
tho night shunters came into the shed to
examine the wagons labeled for the next
train. He groped about the packages,
and cut a bole in the canvas of the ham
per where the lad was concealed and
felt for the plums.
He was terrified, however, to find his
hand firmly gripped, and almost fainted
with fright when the porter revealed
himself and recognized him, with a large
basket full of fruit by his side. The
shunter was in a couple of days dis
missed and the porter received promo
tion.—London Tit-Bits.
Fine Question.
The Germans are a very philosophical
and somewhat argumentative race. Two
workmen in the great Krupp cannon
manufactory were overheard discussing
an important question.
"In your opinion, Johann," said one,
"which is the more important part of a
cannon—the hole or the steel?"
"The hole of course, Heinrich," said
the other. "Because what use in the
world would a cannon be without any
hole in it?"
"Yon are wrong, Johann. It's the steel
that's more important; for how many
men could you kill with a hole witb
nothing around it?"— Youth's Companion.
