Considerable attention has lately
been given both at home and abroad,
to the Farm Mortgage question, which
is now pending for adjudication in the
Supreme Court. The aggregate of the
mortgages, given to -the different
railroad companies in the State, ain.
cunts to about five millions of dollars.
Those given to the La Crosse q Mil.
waukee, the Racine and Mississippi,
and the Milwaukee and Mississippi
railroads, have for some time been, and
are now, under consideration in the Su-
.preme Court; other companies, (among
them is the Kenosha Rockford, and
Beloit Dc Rockford Railroad com
panies,) interested in the same gener-
al question, were represented by coun-
sci IN the argument made before the
Supreme Court.
The case in which the La Crosse
Farm mortgagors were interested was
argued by S. Park Cook and Geo. b.
Smith, for the mortgages, and II. S.
Lee, and S. n. Small Of Milwaukee, for
the mortgages The Racine and
Mississippi Railroad cases were argued
by Marshal M. Strong and Mat. III. Car
penter, tor the mortgages, and by
Hon. M. M. Jackson, of this city, (who
represented the Kenosha and Beleit
Farm Mortgagors,) and n. III. Dale
and d. w. Cary. The Milwaukee and
Mississippi Railroad case We're argued
by ID. IL. johnson, of Paririe du Chen,
for mortgages, and W Hon. I. P.
W alker for the mortgagor
The cases were ably argued by the emf
nent counsel who appeared IN them
before the Supreme Court. Although
each case has its peculiar features, and
each railroad charter has provisions pc
cullar to itself, yet there are general
questions and general principles involv-
ed in each and all the cases which
may determine the decision Of the
court. What that decision will be of
course IS unknown. The impression of
those who heard the arguments in the
different cases is that the decision will
be IN favor of the farm mortgagors.
The Supreme Court will undoubted !
ly give the whole subject the minutest
and no decision will prob
ably be given until cases previously ar
9aed and submitted are disposed

4 Gilded Lead Bar.

Tn San Francisco Correspondent
of the New York Times writes under
date Of the eth alt:
"Some eighteen months ago there
was intrusted to Wells, Fargo g Co.,
of this city, 81, o75, for them to forward
to New York. They safely delivered
it in our city, and thence, through the
house ofLansings Baldwin 90 Co., it
was expressed to Paris. Sanover q
Co., to whom it was addressed, on
opening the linen bag that enclosed it.,
found it worth about dollar The
impression seems to have prevailed that
the box containing the bag had been
clandestinely opened, land on this ground
when Sanover demanded of Lansing 81
Co., came down on Wells, Fargo q
Co., and recovered from them. Wells,
Fargo & Co., put the matter into the
hands of our police.
The lead bar and the linen wrapper
were brought home from Paris, and a
microscopic examination of the linen
discovered the fact that it had been
but once sewn up--from which it be>
come evident that the lead first started
from San Francisco, and that the fraud
was practised not on the voyage, but
here.
Before the matter had been noised
abroad at all, Mr. Kohler, the keeper
OF one OF our largest French fancy
goods stores, and who was the one
that took the bar to Wells, Fargo &Co
office, was sent for to meet several gen.
tlemen who were interested in the
matter. lie was good deal surprised
when told why he had been invited !;
but learning that the expenses of the
litigation, &c, amounted to $4,000, he
at once drew his check for $4,000, re-
questing that nothing should be said
about it. No promises were made,
however w ellis, Fargo q Co., have
drawn the money. Mr. Kohler pub
fishes acard to the public this morning
Pronouncing all charges that implicate
him basely false. He intimates that he
is the victim OF a conspiracy, aad asks
the public to suspend their opinion for
a few days"

is from God, who made the world, and

And roses bloom or the banks of spring.

Proportions of the Human Figure.

The proportions of the human figure
are strictly mathematical. The whole
figure is six times the length of the
foot. Whether the form is slender or
plump, this rule holds good. ANY
deviation from it is departure from
the highest Of proportion. The Greeks
made all their statues according to this
rule. The face from the highest point
Of the forehead where the hair begins
to the end of the chain, is one-tenth of
the Who'll stature. This hand, fro m
the wrist to the end of the middle fng-
er, is the same. The chest is a fourth,
and from the nipple to the top of the
head is the same. From the top of the
chest to the highest point Of the fore
head is seventh. 1.-THE length ofsthe
face, from the roots of the hair to the
chin,E be divided into three. equal parts
the first division determines where, the
eyebrows meet, and the second the
iplace of the nostrils. The navel is
the central part of the human body,
and if man should lie on his back
with his arms extended, the periphery
of the circle which might be described
around HIM with the navel for his
centre, would tuch the extremities Of
his hands and feet. The height from
the feet to the top Of the head, is the
same as the distance from one extrem
ity to the other, when the arms are,
extended. They are the general meas
ure of the species.
