~ Prey: Fs,olsr's lecture last night on in
tellectual culture, was well attended Wash
ington Hall was again crowded The interest
in these excellent lectures is rather Increasing
than diminishing. The Intellectual tastes Of.
our citizens are being excited, and, we may add,
grattfied. Ladies and gentlemen, old and young
all seem interested in this attractive science Of
the mind, and the attractive manner in which it
is presented.
We are glad to sec this, because it speaks well
for tho intelligence as city, and because We
believe much good will result.

OF the State, and amused himself on the way by

by one 1 spoke to all the five. In every one,
interest and curiosity were as extinct as in the
first. They were all dull and languid No
one made any sort of profession or complaint :;
no one cared to look at me, no one thanked me-
When came to the third, L suppose she saw
that my companion and l glanced, with new
horror upon us, at the two last, who had dropped
against each other in their sleep, and were ly-
ing like broken images She said she believed
they were young sisters. These were the only
words that originated among the five.
And now let me close this terrible account
with redeeming and beautiful trait of the
poorest OF the poor. When we came out Of the
workhouse, we had gone across the road to
public house, finding ourselves without silver,
to get change for q sovereign. 1 held the
money in my hand while 1 was speaking to the
five apparitions. Our being so engaged, at
tracted the attention of many people of the
very poorest sort usual to that place as we
lesned over the mounds of rags, they eagerly
leaned over US to see and hear; what had in
my hand, and what l said, and what did
must have been plain to nearly all the con-
course. When the last of the five had got up
and faded away, the spectators opened to let
us pass, and not one of them, by word or look,
or gesture, begged of us. Many of the OBJ
servant faces were quick enough to know that
1t would have been relief to us to have got rid
of the rest of the money with any hope of doing
good with it. But there was feeling among
US all that our necessities were not TO be placed
by the side of such q spectacle; and they
opened a way for US in profound silence, and
let Us go.

IMPORTANT COMMERCIAL DECIsIoy-Tpx
LAKES NOT INLAND NAvIGATIoN.-The Su.
preme Court Of Michigan, during its recen,
session at Lansing, rendered a decision of yery
great Importance to the commercial interest.
OF the lakes, which we find reported in full in
the Detroit Times of Tuesday The facts upop
which the decision was based are these Moore
toote Co., sued the American Transporta.
ton Company for the non-delivery of certain
goods entrusted to the company. to be trans.
ported from New York to Detroit. The goods
were accidentally burned on board the propel.
ief Spaulding, belonging to the company, bay.
ing been put on board at Buffalo to be carried
to Detroit. The grounds of defence to the
action was, first, that by the original contract
oi carriage the owner of tie goods was to bear
the risk OF fire during the whole route !. and
second, that inasmuch as the loss occurred
upon lake vessel engaged in commerce within
the jurisdiction OF Congress, the owners of the
vessel were exOnerated from liability, under
the act OF Congress Of 1881, passed to limit the
liability OF vessel owners. Upon the question
OF liability under the original contract. the
Court was asked to charge in several different
particulars, involving n construction of the
law as applicable to facts attending this agree.
ment and the subsequent shipment. and ex-
ceptlons were taken to the charges given.
Upon the question arising under the act of
congress, the Court charged the jury that lake
commerce did not come within the intention Of
the statute, but must be considered as Sin
land" within the exception of the act. Judg-
ment was given for the plaintiffs, and the case
was brought up on a writ of error and excep-
tiOns for review
Cambeli, j., delivered the opinion of the
Court, an opinion which is most elaborate, and
which gees over the whole ground, reviewing
all the authorities; and bringing to bear eyery
important element Of the case The Judgment
OF the Court was to the effect that the lakes are
as much subject to the maritime laws as the
mediterranean, Black Sea, or the ST. Law
renee; and that the commerce of the lakes he
ing IN fact maritime in its nature, and bayiny
been recognized as such by all departments oi
the Federal Government, and regulated as sucb
by Congress, the Court could not hesitate so 10
construe the act in question. And being salts.
fed that the inland navigation mentioned in
the act cannot properly comprehend the mari
time commerce Of the lakes, the Court was of
opinion that the plaintiff in error is not liable
for the property destroyed by fire on the pro-
pellor Spaulding, such fire not having been
caused by design or negligence, and that the
Court below erred in charging the jury that the
navigation of the lakes was inland navigation
within the meaning and act of Congress

THE FLORAL MARRIAGE.
Correspondence Of the DE- Saratogian.


Green House, Mid Summer.
My dear John Quill-Glorious news. Ring
the Blue Bells. Sound the Trumpet Flowers !
Sweet William and Polly Anthus were married
yesterday afternoon at four o'clock And oh I,
such host as came to the wedding. Old Le-
ander and Mother Wort borrowed Venus Car,
and set out together, but as they were passing
through Dog wood, they upset, and the Colts s.
loot being lamed, they tried to borrow a Sorrel
of the Wood family. Not succeeding in this,
they came-amie on foot, and looked very much
wlitered when they arrived. Dan De-Lion
made his appearance with sweet Lady Mary
and soon after came Creeping Jenny clinging
to a Ragged Sailor. Old MiStletoe, complain.
ing as usual of his corns, was kindly assisted by
Bouncing Betty, who makes herself at home
anywhere. And little Jessie Mine with RUM
ing Rose, those inseparable companions. came
hand In hand, followed by Robin Runaway,
who was too bashful to speak to them Then
there was a whole troop of Old Maid Pinks and
Bachelors Buttons, who, to say the least.
looked very blooming, considering their age
And last of all, with their modest looks, came
Johny Jumpup and his little blue.eved s;ster
Violet
Old Monks Hood performed the ceremony ::
and afterwards we had great supper. There
were Sweet-peas and sugar leaves, and honey
dew In hing cups, set all around the table
and great dishes of pollen, where every one
could eat to his hearts content Dan De- Lion
who Is very fond of pollen, ate so fast that he
got more on his face than he did in his mouth
and when he was judged to kiss Lady Mary as
forfeit, he got it all on her new green dress
She very Indignantly turned to Johnny Jump
up, who, tits we'll known, is the Lady Delight
and said, Jump up and kiss Inc, ;" which he
dld with the greatest pleasure although he is
In no wise unfaithful to Viola Tricolor, whom
ne considers the same as himself.
Finally, we had grand dance to the music
OF the Canterbury Bell ringers. who are said to
equal the Swiss. Old Leander and Mother
Wort, who had got very much excited drinking
the juice of the Madeira Vine went down the
middle all in a breeze, when they both fell upon
Mlstletoe, who cried out with pain At this the
company seized upon some golden rods and
drove them out at once, together with thistle,
VINO had been very pointed in her remarks.
Harmony being restored, they danced till the
ladies slippers were worn oat, when they took
leaf. Heigh no ! how we flowers did enjoy our
selves. How L wish you could have been here.
dear John. Do you love me as much as ever i?
hope you do for then you will come back
soon, and shall not waste my sweetness ON the
desert air Meanwhile, Forget-me-not.
Ever thine, MARY GOLD.
