4 Highly Important Decision.

The Supreme Court Of Iowa las just de-
liyeYed the most important decision ever
made since the white man trod the western
banks Of the Mississippi. 1t is a decision
bv which county and city subscriptions Of
bonds to railroad companies are declared
illegal and void. Thecase decided was en-
titled "the State, on he relation, etc, Of
the Burlington & Missouri Railroad Com
panv, VS.. the County of Wapela." The
point decided (the opinion Of tae Court
being unanimous and delivered by Judge
Love- is that the Legislature Of this State
has never conferred upon the counties OF
this State tie power to issue bonds in pay
merit for stock in railroad companies, and
that such bonds are therefore invalid. CT
ty bonds, Of course, fall within the same
/ principle.
Decisions similar in principle to the
above have already been made BY Judge
Lowe Of the U. S. District Court, (the case
involving the Nuscalino City bond is in
point and the question is now pending ON
appeal from Judge loves decision, to the
United States Supreme Court. There are
good.reasons to believe that that Court will
confirm the decisions Of the court below.
The great mass Of the people will hail
this decision with JOY, but it will fall hard
on some Of the holders Of these bonds.
L would have been a great deal letter they
bad never been voted. The writer Of this
was always opposed to voting such bonds.

MARY M o o R E

All my life long had known Mary
Moore. AL my lie long, too, had loved
her.
Our mothers were old playmates and first
coi,sins. My first recollection is OF young
gentleman in turkey-red frock and moroc-
CO shoes, rocking cradle, in which re-
posed a sunny haired, blue eyed baby not
quite a year old That young gentleman
was myself, Harry Church that blue eyed
baby was Mary Moore.
Later sill saw myself at the little red
sciool-house, drawing my painted sled up
10 the door, and arranging my overcoat on
il that Mary might ride home. Many a
black eye have gained on such occasions:
for other boys liked her beside me. and she,
am afraid was something of a fiiri, even
in her pinnifore. How dainty she came
tripping down the steps when called her
name how sweetly her blue eyes looked
up TO me from the envious folds of her
winter hood ! how gaiiy her merry laugh
ruilg ont when by dint of superhuman ex-
ertions kept her sled before the rest and
lei her stand upon the steps exullingly to
set, them all 60 by! The fairy laugh! No

Old Horses.

The term old, as applied 10 horses, is
generally intended TO convey no; only the
statement Of their age being past marks in
the mouth, but also the common impression
that comparatively they are OF little valve if
past eight or nine years. Now,if we right
Iy understand it, the horse has not attained
his iulI growth and perfection of bodily
frame until he has passed his seventh year !;
and until growth is attained he is just as
unified for extreme hard labor as a man
before arriving al full manhood. In this
country, the practice of putting horses TO
work.at two and ihreelyears, usually results
in their becoming broken down by ::over-
driving or oyer-slralning before they have
attained irmness of muscles, and capabili-
~ for enduring labor. Tins il is, that
horses are often, with US, rendered compar-
atively valuless before they have in ruth
arrived al an age of full powers and endu-
rance. We have owned number of horses.
and whenever we have had one that had
not been injured before arriving al maturity,
we have found him more capable of er-
forming regular labor al from tea to fifteen,
than those OF four 10 seven years. In our
opinion, therefore. judging from observation,
we consider the horse in his prime at:from
nine 10 thirteen years of age always remem-
bering that previous 10 bis having attained
his growth, say seven years, he has not
been over driven, strained, or otherwise in-
iured by reasen of high stimulaiing.food OF

Raise a marble slob not costly,

Record plain 10 all who read them,
When, and where, fell asleep.
Sweetly there my form will slumber,
