# Western Telegraph Company v. Magnetic Telegraph Company

United States Supreme Court
62 U.S. 456
Western Telegraph Company v. Magnetic Telegraph Company
THIS was an appeal from the Circuit Court of the United States for the district of Maryland.
The case is stated in the opinion of the court.
It was argued by Mr. Cornelius McLean for the appellants, no counsel appearing for the appellee.
Mr. McLean's points for the complainants and appellants were the following:
1st. That they are, under their assignment, entitled to all the business between Wheeling and Pittsburg, and Washington and Baltimore.
The defendants could not have set up a parallel line of telegraph between those points, and the question is simply whether they can do indirectly and by combination what they could not do directly.
This court has decided that question, where a slave was brought into Alexandria, which the master had a right to do, by referring it to the jury to find whether the slave had been brought there for the purpose of being introduced into Washington county, of the District of Columbia. (Lee v. Lee, 8 Peters Sup. Co. Rep., 44.)
In that case, the court take the ground that what cannot be done directly cannot be done indirectly. (United States v. Quincy, 6 Peters Supreme Co. Rep., 466; The William King, 2 Wheat., 148.)
It has been decided in Maryland, that although a man may part with his personal property, yet he cannot give it away to defraud his wife. (Feigley v. Feigley, 7 Md. Rep., 561.)
It will be contended that the contract and combination alleged on the bill is an indirect way of doing what could not be directly done, and an infringement of the complainants' rights, so as to destroy the value of their patent.
2d. It will be contended, as claimed in the bill, and as a corollary from the first claim, that the complainants, being entitled to the carrying of telegraphic messages between those points, have also the right to the carriage of all messages reaching those points, and destined for other points on their said line, or other points to which their line is the shortest and most direct route; and that the defendants cannot lawfully combine, as alleged in the bill, with others, to divert them from the complainants' line.
Mr. Justice McLEAN delivered the opinion of the court.

# Western Toad

​Western Toad
Scientific Name Anaxyrus boreas (Bufo boreas)
Introduction The Western toad is a native amphibian species occurring throughout the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.
Appearance Western toads are a large and robust toad with dry, warty skin. Adults can vary in length from 2­5 inches (snout to vent) and vary in color from green, tan, reddish brown, dusky gray and yellow. Toads can be distinguished by a white stripe running down the middle of their back. Males generally have smoother skin than females.
Range Western toads range throughout most of California from the forests to the north to the deserts to the south.
Habitat The Western toad occupies a wide variety of habitats throughout California, including marshes, springs, creeks, small lakes, meadows, woodlands, forests, and desert riparian areas. In the Santa Monica Mountains and Simi Hills, they are generally found in grassland habitats near riparian streams. Western toads are often ​found basking on rocks and logs at the edge of water in the spring and early summer, while at other times of the year they are found farther from the water spending much of their time in moist terrestrial habitats. Toads use rodent holes, rock chambers, and root system hollow as refuges from the heat and cold.
Feeding Western toads eat a wide variety of invertebrates. Tadpoles consume algae and detritus, including the scavenged carrion of fish and other tadpoles.
Reproduction In the Santa Monica Mountains and Simi Hills, mating and egg­laying generally occur in the early spring after the winter rains. Adults migrate from their moist terrestrial habitats to wetland breeding areas using scent cues to find their way. Egg­laying takes place in still or barely moving waters of seasonal pools, ponds, streams, and sometimes in shallow puddles on the road. Eggs are laid in long strings with double rows, averaging 5,200 eggs in a clutch. Fresh eggs contain some of the toad's toxin to protect them from predation, but this poison decreases over time. Eggs usually hatch in 3 to 10 days.
Large schools of tadpoles often feed in shallow water. Tadpoles are dark brown, and grow to about 1 inch in length before metamorphosis. Tadpoles enter metamorphosis in 30 - 45 days, usually in late summer or early fall. When in the process of metamorphosis, many tadpoles are often seen in aggregations at the edge of a pond. Large numbers of newly-­transformed toads are often seen hopping around the shores of breeding water. Juvenile toads may either stay and spend the winter, or disperse to nearby sites.
Conservation Status Though there are no significant conservation concerns for this species in California, they are listed as a park species of concern. Toads are slow­-moving and are frequently run over by traffic as they cross roads at night during their breeding migrations.

# United States v. Peck

United States Supreme Court
102 U.S. 64
United States v. Peck
APPEALS from the Court of Claims.
Peck, the claimant, entered into a contract with the proper military officer to furnish and deliver a certain quantity of wood and hay to the military station at Tongue River, in the Yellowstone region, on or before a specified day. He furnished the wood, but failed to furnish the hay, which was furnished by other parties at an inereased expense. The accounting officers of the government claimed the right to deduct from the claimant's wood account the increased cost of the hay. Whether this could lawfully be done was the principal question in the cause.
The court, upon an examination of the contract and of the surrounding circumstances of the case, were of opinion that the contracting parties, in stipulating relating to hay, contemplated hay to be cut in the Yellowstone valley, and specially at the Big Meadows near the mouth of Tongue River,-which was, indeed, the only hay which the claimant could have procured within hundreds of miles, and which it was known he relied on. The government officers, fearing that the claimant would not be able to carry out his contract, and it being absolutely necessary that the hay should be had, allowed other parties to cut the hay at Big Meadows, and therewith to supply the Tongue River station. The claimant complained of the double injury: first, of giving the hay which he relied on to other parties; and, secondly, of charging him for the increased expense of getting it. The question was whether the surrounding circumstances could be taken into consideration in the claimant's excuse, although the contract made no mention of the source from which he was to procure the hay to be supplied by him to the government.
Mr. Assistant Attorney-General Smith for the United States.
Mr. John B. Sanborn, contra.
Mr. JUSTICE BRADLEY, after stating the case, delivered the opinion of the court.

# What Will He Do With It? (Belford)/Book 4/Chapter 13

CHAPTER XIII.
Unhappy is the man who puts his trust in—a woman.
Late that evening a lady, in a black veil, knocked at No.— Gloucester Place, and asked to see Mrs. Haughton on urgent business. She was admitted. She remained but five minutes.
The next day, when "gay as a bridegroom prancing to his bride," Jasper Losely presented himself at the widow's door, the servant placed in his hand a packet, and informed him bluffly that Mrs. Haughton had gone out of town. Jasper with difficulty suppressed his rage, opened the packet—his own letters returned, with these words—"Sir, your name is not Courtenay Smith. If you trouble me again I shall apply to the police." Never from female hand had Jasper Losely's pride received such a slap on its face. He was literally stunned. Mechanically he hastened to Arabella Crane; and having no longer any object in concealment, but, on the contrary, a most urgent craving for sympathy, he poured forth his indignation and wrongs. No mother could be more consolatory than Mrs. Crane. She soothed, she flattered, she gave him an excellent dinner; after which she made him so comfortable—what with an easy-chair and complimentary converse, that, when Jasper rose late to return to his lodging, he said: "After all, if I had been ugly and stupid, and of a weakly constitution, I should have been of a very domestic turn of mind."

CHAPTER II.
If the Lion ever wear the Fox's hide, still he wears it as the Lion.
When Darrell was alone with Lionel and Alban Morley, the calm with which he had before startled them vanished. He poured out his thanks with deep emotion. "Forgive me; not in the presence of a servant could I say, 'You have saved me from an unnatural strife, and my daughter's husband from a murderer's end.' But by what wondrous mercy did you learn my danger? Were you sent to my aid?"
Alban briefly explained. "You may judge," he said, in conclusion, "how great was our anxiety, when, following the instructions of our guide, while our driver rang his alarum at the front portals, we made our entrance into yon ribs of stone, found the doors already opened, and feared we might be too late. But, meanwhile, the poor woman waits without in the carriage that brought us from the station. I must go and relieve her mind."
"And bring her hither," cried Darrell, "to receive my gratitude. Stay, Alban; while you leave me with her, you will speak aside to Mills; tell him that you heard there was an attempt to be made on the house, and came to frustrate it, but that your fears were exaggerated; the man was more a half-insane mendicant than a robber. Be sure, at least, that his identity with Losely be not surmised, and bid Mills treat the affair lightly. Public men are exposed, you know, to assaults from crack-brain enthusiasts; or stay—I was once a lawyer, and (continued Darrell, whose irony had become so integral an attribute of his mind as to be proof against all trial) there are men so out of their wits as to fancy a lawyer has ruined them! Lionel, tell poor Dick Fairthorn to come to me." When the musician entered, Darrell whispered to him, "Go back to your room—open your casement—step out on to the parapet—you will see something white; it is a scrap of paper wrapped round my old armorial seal. Bring it to me just as it is, Dick. That poor young Lionel, we must keep him here a day or two; mind, no prickles for him, Dick."

CAIN and ABEL by John Newton
    When Adam fell he quickly lost
    God's image, which he once possessed:
    See All our nature since could boast
    In Cain, his first-born Son, expressed!
    The sacrifice the Lord ordained
    In type of the Redeemer's blood,
    Self-righteous reas'ning Cain disdained,
    And thought his own first-fruits as good.
    Yet rage and envy filled his mind,
    When, with a fallen, downcast look,
    He saw his brother favor find,
    Who GOD's appointed method took.
    By Cain's own hand, good Abel died,
    Because the Lord approved his faith;
    And, when his blood for vengeance cried,
    He vainly thought to hide his death.
    Such was the wicked murd'rer Cain,
    And such by nature still are we,
    Until by grace we're born again,
    Malicious, blind and proud, as he.
    Like him the way of grace we slight,
    And in our own devices trust;
    Call evil good, and darkness light,
    And hate and persecute the just.
    The saints, in every age and place,
    Have found this history fulfilled;
    The numbers all our thoughts surpass
    Of Abels, whom the Cains have killed!
    Thus JESUS fell--but O! his blood
    Far better things than Abel's cries:
    Obtains his murd'rers peace with God,
    And gains them mansions in the skies.

Time how swift by John Newton
    While with ceaseless course the sun
    Hasted through the former year,
    Many souls their race have run,
    Never more to meet us here;
    Fixed in an eternal fate,
    They have done with all below;
    We a little longer wait,
    But how little—none can know.
    As the wingèd arrow flies
    Speedily the mark to find;
    As the lightning from the skies
    Darts, and leaves no trace behind;
    Swiftly thus our fleeting days
    Bear us down life’s rapid stream;
    Upwards, Lord, our spirits raise,
    All below is but a dream.
    Thanks for mercies past receive,
    Pardon of our sins renew;
    Teach us, henceforth, how to live
    With eternity in view:
    Bless Thy Word to young and old,
    Fill us with a Savior’s love;
    And when life’s short tale is told,
    May we dwell with Thee above.
