IMPORTANT VERDICT.-An important case
has just been decided in the U. s. District
Court for New York. The jury have awarded
damages to the amount of S25 900 to Charles
u. Lockwood against the N. Y. Central Rail-
road for injuries received ON their road at a
point which they, knowing to be dangerous had
omitted to make safe. Lockwood is drover.
and was in the habit Of passing many cattle
sover the road. He held pass from the
company and had signed contract which is
designed by the Company to absolve it from
all the liabilities of common carriers for injuries
that might be sustained by either man or
beast.
The judge charged the jury that public poll
cy cannot permit companies to relieve them
selves by private stipulation from the legiti-
mate duties which they owe the public, and
which are required from them by the very OBJ
ject of their creation and that.such release as
the Central Road in this case sought to set up
In defence, is no sort of protection against its
liability at common law as a common carrier;
and the jury gave their verdict accordingly-
lhis is an important step gained toward secur-
ing the rights of the public at the hands Of
| powerful corporations.

INDIAN AFFAIRS.
THF .FENIAN PRISONERS.

mn WASHINGTON, Noy 16.
Iha Commissioner of Indian Affairs has re-
ceiyed letters from special agents recently dis
patched to the Araphoes, Cheyennes and con-
1ederate band of Sioux Indians to ascertain
the disposition of those tribes toward the Gov
ernment, and inquire into various reports which
nave been made regarding their hostile attitude
Inc information received from these agents is
OF satisfactory character and not only is II
probable that peace will be maintained. bnt
also that the release of two white women
prisoners in the hands of the tribes on that line
will be obtained.
Lhe British Minister has written a letter to
the Secretary of State in regard to the death
sentence of the Fenian prisoners Lyneh and
McMahan, in which, after acknowledginr the
receipt of Mr.. Stewards note on the subject
some time ago, he says he submitted a COPY of
DIS note to his government and will await its
instructions. The prisoners he saws. have re-
ceIved fair trial by regular procedure. The
government has conducted the prosecution in
no vlndictive or harsh spirit, but solely to vim
dlcate. the majesty of the law. He concludes
6y saying: =! am, moreover, authorized to state
that the whole question of the disposal of such
OF the prisoners as may be convicted has been
referred for decision to Her Majesty's Govern
ment, who will certainly be animated with
desire SO TO deal with it as to secure peace and
harmony between the populations living in
such immediate proximity, and separated BY
long frontier so easily traversed."

Mr.. EprToR:-It is to be regretted that
any member of the Young Mems Christian As
sociation should pen such a communication as
appeared in the Argus of yesterday morning.
The Member" knows very well that neither
the Lecture Committee nor the Association can
control the subject matter, or the moral of any
lecture that may be delivered before it. The
Member" also knowns that politics and party
have been carefully eschewed in the Associa-
tion heretofore, and that members" of his par
ty have had as much to do in inviting the gem
tleman named in the Course as any Others
As for the audience forgetting the sanctity of
the House of God, the subdued applause that
greeted the lecturer showed that had the place
been any other, the demonstration would have
been far more in accordance with the feelings
even in speaking of the Chief Magistrate of the
Republic. Is the @Member' working for the
good of the Association and for the success of
the Course, or in the opposite direction?

DIR. MORSE ON CATARRH AND PULMONARY
DISEASES.

To the Editor Of The Press:
The Lungs and Bronchial Tubes leading to them,
are, indeed, 4" fearfuly and wonderfully made"-
Through them, from the surrounding atmosphere, we
receive the breath of life The lungs retain and DIFF
fuse through the system the hfegiving properties OF
the air, and throw back the poisonous portions
1t is truly wonderful process by which the heart
is made to beat and force the blood into every part Of
the body.
If our Lungs, and other organs in iuxtapostion
with them ncased in glass; and SO situated that
we could see their exact formation and their constant
working, we should actually be afraid to move lest
some of this wonderful machinery might be broken
and our lives become tic forfeit and what would
orr first and greatest anxiety be- if we should see as
through glass, disease proving upon them? We
should at once seek for some remedy; but as it is
how careless and indifferent thousands when their
lungs are struggling to throw Oft disease and regain
their power to do the work assigned them in the
omy Of Nature!
But the question here naturally arises, How can
this wisely constructed breathing apparatus be reach
ell by the proper and most effectual remedies when
this wonderful machinery is obstructel in its action
and its power paralyzed by disease? Dr. Morse gives
reasonable and satisfactory answer to this important
question. He has, by long study and many Years
experience, discovered effectual remedy, and the
mode of administering it that it may ploluce the
desired result. And what is this? the reader NAV
properly ask. The answer is, by 'Inhalations -
This mode of operation pursues indirect crook
the disease. That such mode Of applying remedies
is quite reasonable and natural, must be obvious to
every thinking mind. DR.. Morse's remedies, and the
mode of administering them, have proved successful
nthousands Of cases. and his patients would cheerful
ly bear witness to the facis,-but why argue ques-
ton that is as clear as a sunbeam? Thousands Of
his patients now rejoicing in good health. Would
time and space allow, would gladly publish thous-
and names of persons who have been cured by the
use of my remedies.
Those who are laborng under diseases of The Throat
and Lungs cannot afford to wait long they seek
remedy or such complaints, If not cared for in their
first stages may soon become too powerful for any re-
medal agent.
"CATAl::H" being the cause origin of nearly ev-
cry of Throat and Lung disease it is of greati-
portance that all who have any of that affection should
attend to the removal OF it at once, which may be
be done by the use of my remedies.
Persons living at adistanee can be treated by de-
scribing their symptoms in asletter 10 me, and the
