The RIGHTS OF MoORED AND MOVING BOATS.
Among our coal, lumber and steamboat men,
it is a matter of vital importance to under
stand their rights, duties and liabilities in re-
gard to the mooring and navigation of all
classes of boats. In the case of Baker ct al.
Us. A. X. Lewis, that had been pending some
five years in our District Court, has been re-
Gently decided in the Supreme Court, and
afirms certain principles that all interested in
navigation should understand.
The Court declare that a public highway
like our rivers must recognize the rights not
only Of the ascending and descending naviga-
ton, but also the landings and wharfs neces
sary for the accommodation Of the trade on
said streams. The person who moors his boats
must see that he leaves enough of space for the
ascending and descending navigation, and
that, toe, in its accustomed channel. But the
moving craft must keep sharp lookout and
avoid every injury to the laid up craft thai
human ingenuity can guard against.
Hence in this case, it was not allowed, mol
will it be allowed in any other case, that thu
owner of the moving boat shall recover of tht
laid up one, unless all possible skill and pre-.
caution has been used to prevent the collision
We have known frequent recoveries in casel
when the law here laid down wosld have ex.
empted the owner from liability. In fact, two
juries on these same facts had given verdct
against Mr.. Lewis. We hope beth classes o
boat owners will now learn to know thei
rights, duties and iabilities.-Pihsburg Jour

while Louisa, betrayed into forCetfulness by
her passionate love of the sublime, warmly reit-

"Prettyi how tame tho exprossionl It is sub

For a moment she gated in lost admiration,
while Sir Edward viewed with surprise and an
interest amounting almost to tenderness, her
intellectual face beaniing with the poetic en-
thusasm of her feelings. AS she turned her
soul-lit eye upon him, his tender gaze recalled
her to her senses again, and her eyes fell and
deep blush overspread her cheeks.
Emily was no less surprised than Sir Edward,
and pleased that she had made a favorable
impression on his mind, (which she could not
help seeing, though she believed it momentary, }
she half resolved to let pride alone, love her for
what she was, and independently brave pub.
lie opinion. But aasl pride had gained too
strong hold on her heart; and during the re-
ception of morning callers, she found herself
as much annoyed as on the previous day.
Immediately after dinner she took the arm
of Louisa, and drawing her away, said "Come,
let us go to tho dressing room and prepare for
the evening""
"You don't mean for me to prepare" said
Louisa; eyeing herself with u look of satisfac-
ton; GIVE got my best, and am sure look
pretty" aud she placed herself before the mir
ror; "dldn't you see that young Teller that
walked with us stare at me; know he was

You look we'll for the country but city peo-
pie dress differently, and when you are with
them you should try and initiate them both in
dress and manners, lest by singularity you
might attract too much attention."
az have no sort of objection to attracting at

"Well, then, to please me, will you not al
low the dressing maid to fix your hair little
more like miue2" implored Emily.
"Just as you please, but then If IL should
not be becoming, it must be reittcd, and all
that trouble will have been for nothing"
"Never mind the trouble, and we'll know
you will be satisfied"
AS the maid removed the comb and unbound
her shining tresses, Emily gazed in astonish-
ment ever and anon exclaiming--
"What pity to confine such splendid hairl
Only look, Celia, did you ever see any thing
half so beautiful" ana beautiful, indeed, did
she look to the delighted Emily, when its ar
rangement was tastefully completed.
"Ah, now" said Emily, "you look sweetly,"
and with an air Of condesoension she for the
first time kissed her, adding, "I shall be quite
proud of you;" and then, as if a new idea had
occurred to her, although in reality she had
been pondering it all the morning, she ex-
claimed, "Oh, Celia, if we could only dress
alike, and indeed we can, for there are my two
blue dresses, exactly alike, only one is silk and
the other cashmere. Go bring them immedi-
ately. IT'S quite romantic idea."

The last wife murder in New York-that
of Mrs. Meyer, by her husband, George
Meyer, is reported fully in the New York
papers of Monday, from which we condense
the following brief particulars Meyers (who
is Germany and his wife, IAN Irshwoman,
whose maiden name was Sarah Jane Taylor)
with their two young children, Johannes and
Theodosia, occupied rooms in the house 222T
west 18th street. On Sunday last, about 10
o'clock, the loud screams of Mrs. Meyers
were heard, and her cries, which continued
some time, attracted considerable notice from
those residing in the immediate neighbor-
hood. In about quarter of an hour there
after, all became silent in the apartments of
Meyers. At o'clock in the afternoon, the
neighbors began to suspect that something
was wrong, and several, with view of salts
flying themselves on the subject, went to
Meyers room and knocked on the door. No
reply was returned, when they knocked
again and again, but received no answer
AS it was known they had not gone out, the
neighbors now felt convinced that there had
been foul play, and determined at once to
have the matter investigated.
policeman was soon at the door, which
being burst open, most horrible and sicken-
ing sight was presented to his gaze. The dead
| body Of Mrs. Meyers, in a state Of nudity, lay
upon the foornear the stove. She was covered
with bruises and cuts from head to foot. From
her mouth, nose and ears we're streams of
| coagulated blood, and on her head, breast,
arms and legs were innumerable cuts or stabs.
| Her hair, which had been cropped off close
| TO her head, was found in the stove, partially
| consumed and it seemed to be the impression
| Of those who first looked upon the scene that
the fend had determined upon burning the
body. Near the corpse stood pail of bloody
water, and it was apparent that Meyers, after
the perpetration of the deed, had busted him
self in wiping up the floor, which was literally
| covered with blood. The cutting off of his
wife's hair, and the cleansing up of the blood
from the floor, seemed to be the first move that
Meyers had made toward concealing the evil
| dence of his crime.
The officer and neighbors, upon entering the
room, found Meyers standing before looking
| glass brushing his hair. He turned quickly,
and remarked to the officer, "She struck me
first" and further said that he "was fixing
himself up to go to the Station-h house to sur
render himself to the authorities"
| Meyers was arrested and is now in the
Tombs. He has served q term of two years
in the State Prison for being concerned in the
death of a man in Fifth street about ten years
ago.

DAILY DYING

Not in a moment drops the rose
That in n summer garden grows;
A twilight song Of ecstacy,
And the red red leaves at its fragrant heart,
Trembling so in delicious pain,
Fall to the ground with sudden start,
And the grass is gay with crimson stain;
And the honey bee out of the fields of clover,
Heavily flying the garden over,
Brushes tho stem as IL passes by,
And others fall where the heart.leav lie;
Aud air and dew, ere the night is done,
Have stolen the petals, every one.
The maple does not shed its leaves
In one tCmpcstuOus scarlet rain,
But softly, when the south wind grieyes,
Slow wandering over wood and plain,
One by one they waver through
The Indian summers hazy blue,
And drOD at last on the forest mould,
Coral and ruby and burning gold,
And sunsets gleam of gorgeous dyes,
Ne'er with one shadow fades away,
But slowly DER those radiant sklos
There steals the evening cold aud gray,
And amber and violet linger still
When stars are over the eastern hill.
Our death Is gradual, like to these
We die with every waning day;
There Is no wait of sorrows breeze
But bears some henrt-oaf slow awayl
Up and on to the vast To Be,
Our life Is going etcrually!
Less Of earth than we had last year
ThrUbs in your veins and thrObs in mino,
But the way to heaven Is growing clear,
While the gates of the city fairer shine,
Aud the day that our latest treasures hee,
Wide they will open Tor you and me. .

A ROusing Meeting ut Minneapolis-.-
Great Enthusfasm

On Friday evening one of the largest and
most enthusiastic meetings ever held in Min
neapos, assembled in the area in front of the
Ncollet House in that town. for the purpose
of ratlfying the nominations just made by the
Republican State Convention The meeting
was presided over by the Hon. E. N. BATES.
For about three hours, Mr. DoNNELLY, our
candidate for Lieutenant Governor, and Mr..
BAKER, our nominee for Secretary of State,
held the audience entranced by their clear
statements of facts, cogent arguments, and
witty illustrations, alternately moving them
into cheers Of feeling, yells of indignation, or
shouts of laughter.
Col. Cyrus ALDRIcH when he appeared on
the balcony to address the people, was receiv-
ed with three of the most rousing kind OF
cheers. He made brief but pointed address
and was succeeded by Mr.. HALL, and F. R.
CORNELL, both of Minneapolis, whose remarks
likewise elected hearty applause. Mr.. Cor
NELL correctly observed in his speech,
that ''the Republican State Convention had
nominated this time lice ticket-a ticket
composed Of men of force and vigor-no
dead wood about it-apd that in the course
of the canvass they would themselves in
person convince the people Of their capacity
and fitness for the several positions for which
they had been selected
The meeting adjourned at late hour, all
declaring themselves satisfied with the ticket,
and particularly satisfied with that portion of
F" which had contributed so ably and felici-
tously to interest and instruct them during
the evening.

Mr. Baker, the Republican Candidate
for Secretary Of State.

The slanderous Pioneer has discovered that
j. II. BAKER, the Republican candidate for
Secretary of STATE, is man of force and tai
ent, ana it consequently pitches into him
tiercely. 1t stated, the day after the nomin
ations were made, that Mr. BAKER had been
connected with the celebrated BRESLIN frauds
in Ohio. At the great Republican meeting,
IN last Friday evening, at Minneapolis, Mr.
DoNNELLY, in referring to the different candi-
dates, adverted to this libel of the Pioneer,
and stigmatized it as it deserved. 1t is well
known fact that BREsLIN was a Democrat :;
that his administration Of the Treasury De-
partment of Ohio preceded that in which Mr..
BAKER, under Governor CHASE, acted as Sec
rotary of State; that BREsLIN's relative and
successor, GIBSON, became implicated in the
frauds by his weak efforts to cover them up
to save BREsLIN. So far from Mr.. BAKER be
ing in the least implicated in those frauds, it
was he who assisted Governor CHASE in fer
retting out the defalcation in the Treasury,
and his record as presented by the Investiga-
ton Committee is perfectly clear from any i'm
putation. As Mr. DoNNELLY remarked, "Mr.
BAKERS connection with the frauds was pref
ty much that of FoUcHE with the thieves of
Paris, he helped to detect them!" Wewil
probably need such services at the hands of
Mr.. B., after the election, in examining the Sc
cret transactions of the present administration,
and how some of those enormous contingent
funds have been disposed of! The Pioneer
trembles for its party friends at the idea of
the election of so experienced detective" as
Mr.. BAKER has proved himself, of Democratic
plundering.

The 6 Armi lice.Ss

This word, which is from the two Latin
words of arma and sistO, means literally " to
stand STILL" Webster defines its meaning to
be, "A cessation of arms, for a short time,
by convention; truce; temporary sus-
pension of hostilities by agreement of the
parties" Therefore, the important intelli-
gence published by us yesterday, that an Ar
mistice had been concluded between the bel
ligerents in the Italian war, until the 9Th of
August, means simply only, that neither par
ty will engage in active operations in the field
that both sides will stand still for awhile,
and the work Of death have temporary res
pite-but it does not appear to mean that
both sides will not in the interval press for
ward reinforcements and military supplies to
recruit their respective armies. 1t is proba-
bly, but pause for breath and when the
next clinch of the antagonists takes place,
deadly indeed must be the encounter. As,
since the first commencement of the war.
this is the next most important news receiv-
ed, we give place in another column to the
letter of Count Pulsky to the New York
Tribune, showing the view taken of the ulti-
mate effect of this " stand-still" agreement by
the Liberals Of Europe. The articles O the
London Times report the public opinion of
England. The Times is positive that the ac-
,eptance of the armistice bv Austria is her
of humiliation and virtually sur
render. 1t says there is as much cause for
IN illumination of Paris as if Napoleon had
gained another great battle, and held all the
ortresses of Austria on the Mincio and
Adine

Gov. Ramsey and the Republican Plat.
form.

| The Pioneer and Democrat has little to saw
against the Republican platform; less against
| Governor RAMSEY; but with its usual dup-
city it attempts to prove that Governor RAM
sEY was not nominated upon that platform,
and did not endorse it.
The answer to such small logic is this -
Governor RAMSEY would be supported by the
Republicans of Minnesota without platform !;
his whole past history speaks for him his
acts and expressed opinions are in themselves
| platform. So universal was his popularity
that the Convention were anxious to nominate
him at once nominate him by acclama-
tion,-and carried away by their enthusiasm
they placed him in nomination previous to the
adoption of the platform. When this matter
was afterwards referred to by one Of the dele
gates, and it was suggested that without wait
ing still farther for the report of the commit
tee on platform, the Convention proceed to
nominate the other candidates, the answer
was, that so far as Governor RAMSEY was con-
cerned, his position on all the questions en-
braced in that platform was well understood,
but with less prominent and less well-known
men this might not be the case.
Let the Pioneer anil Democrat not distress
itself unnecessarily. The nominees of the
Republican party are actuated by sincere
conviction of the truth Of Republican princi-
pies. The game of shutting, trickery and
double-dealing, is generally appropriated ex-
clusively by the Democracy. We assure the
Pioneer that before Octo er next it will be
thoroughly convinced that Governor RAMsEY's
sentiments and the Republican party's plat
form agree in every particular
Had not the Pioneer better EN-, 10y it's sur
plus ingenuity in settling the question who is
to be the Democratic candidate for Governor?
Part of the Republican platform sets forth
that the present administration are in "stolen
places Of poner." Would the Democracy like
to discuss that issue, and abide the award of
the people on that issue in October next?-
Will they bring out the man that represents
that issue to the popular mind, and give the
people an opportunity to express their irrevo
cable judgment upon it Or will they shrink
from the challenge, and allow it to stand in
the history of Minnesota, as an admitted fact
that HENRY H. SHELLEY, the first State Cover
nor, man of previously honorable reputation,
obtained his high place by the most fragrant
and reprehensible frauds? We await the an
swer.
