Lost Railway baggage.

We notice n recent DECISION of Judge Col
linz of the Hamilton Common Pleas. I'm a
snit for trunk lost on the Little Mama
Railroad. or one of its conn. citing rnnds The
defense of the Railway Company was, that it
was not proven that the trunk was lost OF
the L. NJ R. R. The decision was to the eff
feet that the check given for the baggage was
evidence If a contract which was binding on
oil the connecting roads. jointly and sever
aliy-a and that ibe loser ..iay have his action
against either or all, not being hound to prove
on which road the loss occurred.
This is reversal of some former decisions:
but the principle appears just one. In fact.
il is difficult to see how a Traveller is =, prove
where loss of baggage occurred. since the
knowledge requisite to do that would prba-
bly, be adequate 10 its discovery. The tray-
eler receives check at one end of his route.
which is held good for the delivery of the ar
ticIe at the other This throws the entire
burden Of responsibility upon those who are
concerned in the business of transportation
bptween the two points. The check is not is
sued for separate divisions of the route. but
for the whole route The loser of baggage
naturally makes reclamation from tho Com
pany which fails to deliver according to the
terms of the contract.
If any Company suffers the hardship of
having to pay for baggage which was not
lost on its branch of the route. it has its rem
edy by constraihing its associate Companies
to share in the loss. There is no propriety
in compelling travellers, who are innocent
parties, to add to their loss the expense and
delay of fixing il upon a certain point of
long route, while they are precludeC, by the
very system established by the Railway Com
pasy. from watching their baggage at ALL
Gin. Com.

Napoleon an d Italy.

A pamphlet touching the Italian question.
supposed to have been written under Impc-
rial influence, has just been published in
France. Coming out just before the assem-
bling of The European Congress, it has pc
GUITAR significance, and its effect will not he
light. The position is assumed that the
temporal power Of the Pope must be abrid ged;
that The Romagna shall not be- restored to
the Papal dOminiUns, and that Austria will
not be permitted to interfere In aid of such
purpose. Ii is clearly intimated that France
having made 20 many sacrifices and gained
so many brilliant victories in the late war,
Will not now consent to a restoration of Aus
trian domination in Italy. OF course, Par
ma, MGdena and Tuscany are also TO he left
to the government of their own choice. Ii il
believed that NAPOLEoN is able to secure
majority of votes for this policy, in the Con
gress about to assemble. If so, adecideG
advance viii have been made in the condition
of Italy, during the last twelve months
through the Intervention ofNAPoLEoN.

A writer IN tie Union Gals Dsmocrat gives
a very interesting description Of Mono Lake,
which has recently engrossed public atten-
ton. from The fact of the discovery of de-
posts of gold 10 She neighborbooa. He says.
Mono Lakeis mere literally "dead sean
than the sea of Seldom. According TO DIR.
Clarke. that ~sea swarms with fishes. and
shells abound on its shores Mono Lake
has neither. The extreme length and brteafh
Of the Dead Sea. according to Merit. are 70
by l6 miles. giving superficial area OF 600
sonare miles: who reas. Mono Lake contains
CTS square miles. The river Jordan and Ar
nop. and the brook Kedron. besides many
rivuleis empty into the Dead sea- Into
Mono Lake, McLane's River falls from the
North. and Crosby's River from the South,
and three large brooks or creeks fail i5to it
from the West, besides numerous rivGiets and
springs all around its borders. But this lake
poi only responds 10 the Greek epithet naonos
as being "alone. solitary, deserted. foraker, !"
but it also answers To the same fdj; ctive as
explained in the Spanish as being pretty,
nice neat"
The lake takes many shapes as the
points differ frsm which you view it. From
The West side. about ten miles from lis North
ern limit. il appears like beautiful crescent.
its horns cnrvirg delieately sGound you on
The right and left. From the North it ap-
pears to he nearly circular. like the full moon
The islands in its waters strkingly rcpresent-
ing the cinuded spois on that planet. From
The East il appears TO have no particular
shape, but it stretches off irregularly among
the mountains.
There is little or no echo around this lake.
and indeed it is difficui TO understand per-
son talking at a little distance. A dreamy.
spell-like spirit seems to pcrvade the atmos-
phere. The smooth CLASSY surfaee Of the
waters; the upht aved, disrupted, volcanic
mountains surrounding the lake, locking
down, as il were, into this abyss Of their ejec-
ton; the illusion of vision and the whit, n, d
shores thickly cOlumned in many places with
vascular lava, which looks like monuments
erected TO the mighty dead:' all conspire
to impress tie mind with the idea of a fcti-
tious scene portrayed by the pencil of an ON
nipOtent hand.

water-Gas.

The Philadelphia Press gives an account of
the illumination of their neighboring city.
Wilmington, by water-gas, under the patent
of Prof. Sanders, of Cincinnati. The Press
says:
The charges were drawn from The retOrts !;
the supply of coalgas was turned off; the
water-gas was run through the pipes. and
Wilmington had light thrice as brilliant
thrice as pure, any il had ever known be-
fore.
The operation was observable to the citi-
zens of Whining ton in its results, while its
practical working WAS witnessed by several
journalists, many inhabitants and some par
ties who are actually interested in the pro-
d2ction of coal-gas. Among these last were
the Superintendent of the Philadelphia North
ern Liberties GasWorks, and the President
OF the Financial Board of that Company. All
agreed that il was q decided success.

stated: F.rss aa
