Interfering with the Press.

The verdict rendered on Saturday last in the
Circuit Court in the case of Dutch VS.. Sher-
man ct al, in which the plaintiff was awarded
$4,000 damages, is suggestive Of matter for
deep and profitable reflection. The transac-
tions out of which this action grew, took place
some years ago and before we came to this
city. We state them briefly and upon inior-
nation of others. Mr.. Dutch was editor and
proprietor of the Daily Commercial Advert
ser; in publishing his paper, he rented GER
tain premises of some or all of the defendants.
While absent from the city, his paper being
in charge of other persons, the defendants for
ais, and seising them, threw them or removed
them from the building in SO doing they did
not pay much regard 10 the order in which
they pertormed the removal; forms were
knocked in pi, and..so much damage done as TO
render that office unfit for further use.
On the part Of the plaintiff, it is urged that
the accident of rent in arrear was one which
only required payment TO remedy, and that
it was taken advantage Of during his known
absence, not for the purpose of collecting the
rent, but to accomplish another end, alleged
to be of infinitely more importance to the de-
PENDANTS, to wit--the breaking up Of the es-
tablishnent and the discontnuance of the Ad-
vertiser. The plaintiff alleges-and we sup
pose offered some proof to sustain it--that the
course of his paper was obnoxious 10 certain
political and financial schemes of the defend
ants that his paper was bold in denunciation
of what the editor conceived to be great public
wrongs about 10 be committed, or actually
committed by the defendants and that. to re-
move this thorn in their side, they conspired,
as we have said, to destroy the paper by rem
dering its materials worthless. The jury on
the first trial gave the plaintiff 4,500 dam
ages the Supreme Court.reyersed the judg-
ment upon some point in the ruling below !;
and on this, the second trial, the verdict has
gone up to $4,000.

cupied long suit of rooms, in which were
placed several pianos and harpischords; at
these he would frequently stop during his
walks, play few notes from Handel, and then
stroll on. He seemed cheerful, and would
sometimes talk aloud as if addressing a noble

Winter Shelter for Animals.

Solomon says-'A righteous man regardeth
the life of his beast 1t is remarkable, that
on a very large majority of our farms, far less
attention is paid to the comfort of our domes-
tic animals, during the long period of their
confinement during the winter months, than
the well-known humanity of our farmers, in
other matters, would seem to insure. hlebeg,
the distinguished German chemist, says that
our clothing is an equivalent for food; and
every discerning and rejecting person must
have received very striking and impressive
corroboration of the truth of the observation In
the plain fact that an animal comfortably shell
tered, and provided with litter or bedding, con-
sumes, during winter, less food BY nearly one
half than an animal of the same size and kind
will require if uncared for and exposed. We
have frequently been surprised and shockedby
what appears to be an unmerciful regardless
ness of the comfort and health of their domes-
tic animals, particularly their young stock.
Every correct farmer will study the comfort
of every animal under his care-not only from
common principle-of humanity, which is, or
should be instilled into him by the gentle and
humanising character Of his pursuits, but from

Madness of George the Third.

Little is known respecting the nature of the
deusion which possessed the kings mind, but
the following passages from Lord EIdon's pa
pers, indicate one of them :-'It was urged
that if any feature of the kings malady ap-
peared during the presence Of the council, Sir
Holford should, on receiving a signal from me,
endeavor to recall him from his alterations !;
and accordingly. when his majesty appeared
10 be addressing himself to two of the persons
whom he most favored in his early life, long
dead, Sir Henry observed-'Your Majesty
has, believe, forgotten that the - and
both died many years ago. True was the
reply, ,'died to you and the world in general but
not to me. You, Sir Henry, are forgetting

up with a number of erroneous ideas his
memory was tenacious, but his judgment un-
settled; and the loss of royal authority seemed
constantly to prey upon his mind. His mala-
DIV seemed rather to increase than abate up to
the year 1914, when at time the allied SOW
ereigns arrived in England, he evinced indi-
cations of returning reason, and was made ac-
quainted with the astounding events which had
recently occurred.

Jews Witnessing for Christ.

The Christian world has been scandalized
within few years by the bold attempts of cul-
tivated skeptics like Francis Newman, to i'm
peach the perfection of the Savior's character.
One must pity the obstruseness of such men,
who seem overtaken by judicial blindness, so
that while the light shine,h in darkness, the
darkness comprehends it not. In contrast with
such moral debasement, it is cheering to note
how Jewish prejudices are gradually abating,
and candid and honorable Jews are admitting
the moral sublimity of the Savior's life. The
late DR.. Noah, of New York, gave the follow
ing testimony:
Jesus preached at all times, and at all
places, in and out of the temple, with an elo-
quence such as no mortal has since possessed.
1t has been said, and with
some commentator on what has been called

course, term Jesus of Nazareth an imposter; !;

fanaticism his was quiet, subdued, retiring
faith. He mingled with the poor, communed
with the wretched, avoided the rich, and re-
buked the vain-glorious. In the calm of even
ing, he sought shelter in the secluded groves of
Olivet or wandered pensively on the shores of
the Gallee. He sincerely believed his mis-
sion, courted no one, flattered no one pointed
and severe in his denunciations, he was calm
and subdued in his rsligion. These are not
the characteristics of an imposter but, adj
mitting that we give different Interpretation

A Short Lecture on Extravaganza.


We spoke, in former article, of the ex-
travagance of farmers, as well as others of the
prosperous classes, in the structure and fur
niture of their houses. We know Of no one
in the community who better deserves all the
real comforts of life than those who fairly win
their support from the soil, and we should be
glad to see them surrounded, not only with the
necessares, but many of the luxuries of life.
But every mans purse has bottom to it,
and the great object is, how to expend what
we can devote to our own comfort, and that of
our own families, so as TO get the best return
for our money. Many a man can advise his
neighbor how to live, who cannot see his own
way clear, or if he does see it, cannot follow
it. We have advised, and our advice is es-
pecially adapted to young men, to live in
a small house neatly furnished, because the
small house costs less than large one, and
requires less furniture, and less labor to keep
it in order, and because it is truly respectable
as well as comfortable, 10 live within your
means. We might have added another con-
sideration-that aside from the labor of keep
ing the house itself in order, the household
work, generally, is much more easily done in
asmaIl than large house.
A lady now residing in this city, in large
house with three servants, recently remarked,
when speaking on this subject, that when she
lived in New Hampshire, in one-story cot
tage, with but two rooms and an attic, and
did all her own work, including the cooking
for her family, and ate in the kitchen, her task
was less wearisome than that of merely direct
Ing her present establishment. No doubt this
is literally true, and no doubt there are many
families in every village in Massachusetts and
New Hampshire, whose indoor labor is in
creased nearly two-fold, by endeavoring to
keep up style beyond their means.
But while we would discourage this foolish
sacrifice to public opinion or fashion, we would
urge upon our friends the Importance of in
reasing the convenences of the household =
We know farmland perhaps we may as
well call it by name-where all the water, for
years, probably for half century, used fol

How TO SQUARE THE cIRcLE.-Eurekd!
The circle is squared, tide If you take
silver wire twelve inches and quarter long,
the quarter being allowed to unite the two ends,
You have a circular wire exactly twelve inches;
and if this wire is made TO form The true
square, each of lis sides will be equal to nine
square inches. Now, if the same wire is al
lowed 10 assume the true circle, II is evident
that the area of the circle will be the same as
it was in the square. For instance. if wall

IMPROVEMENT IN SHlP RtDDERs.&John 8.
Robbins, of San Francisco, has invented new
method Of making Ships rudders, calculated
chiefly for large vessels. He proposes 10 have
two rudders-one hung just like the common
rudder, but not quite SO wide, and back Of this
and facing towards it, another similar rudderi
hung upon an upright, supported by an exten-
sion of the keel at the bottom, and by braces
at the top. These two rudders are Connected
by simple frame work, so that they move to-
gether, and always remaia parallel, although
they are apparently working in contrary di-
rectiOns. This contrary working, on account
of the axis of the rudder being before 1t, and
the other behind il, produces u counter strain
10 the constant and heavy pressure which
there always is upon the ordinary rudder
when it is not in the exact line Of The ships
direction. Thus the helmsman will be re-
lleved of much of The labor which, with the
present rudder, he has to perform. The Rob
bins rudders when 'amidshps,' that is, in the
exact line of the vessel, are in line with
each other, and they can pass each other turn
ing either way. AS the rudders depart from
The amidship position, one swings to one side
and the other to the other side; but as they
are parallel they tend 10 give the vessel the
mere direction and being equal in area, the
resistance they meet with in passing through
the water is equal, but on opposite sides.
