: RuSsISo A RAILROAD TRAIs THRouoH A
FUNERAL PRocsssIor,-Yesterday morning
Robert Hausman, engineer, and John Perry,
conductor on the Washington, Georgetown and
Alexandria railroad, were before Justice Walter,
charged by Anthony Buokiy. undertaken, with
sion which was conveying and sscorting the re-
mains Of Col Elisha Camp TO the Congressional
cemetery for interment. The affair occurred In
front Of tho Capitol gats, near the junction Of
Pennsylvania and Maryland avenues, the train
passing slowly along, cutting on some Of tho
carriages from the procession. The set Of the
corporation Of October 10, 1880, section seven,
says II shall be unlawful "for the driver Of any
omnibus or other vehicle 10 drive across, through
or Otherwise interrupt any funeral, civil or mill
tary procession" and prsscribss the penalty for
so doing, 80 b. .. ~ .a.#.f sIaf-a. e...-y. ]
Mr.. Andrew o. Bradley, appeared for thu Dc.
, feuco and claimed that the act In question did
not apply to steam power or vehicles drawn BY
Aeh. II tho statute was deficient In that re-
spect, it>Mas for the corporation to remedy the
deficit. The charter Of the company statos that
they oan run through the streets Of washing-
ton tuamed In the charter and at speed not
exceeding Eve miles per hour. The train was
not going even that speed, and under the law Of
the corporation which did not say anything rela-
tive to railroad cars drawn BY locomotives Mr..
Bradley claimed the discharge Of his clients.
JUSTICE waiter took inherent view Oh tho
matter, and fined the defendants IS each and
costs Of suit. We should, vey much dislike
under this precedent to attempt to cross rail.

try, and the express train In sight running per-

However, railway conductors will now have TO
be very careful. They must walt for all proces-

consequence-no matter--they can make II up
and risk the lives and limbs Of the passengers In
the train BY flying over the track when once

Woman's Rights.

The great day is coming--the great day of Ju-

brighter day is dawning, cheer up ye tempest

I've sung of war and pcace-exhausted every

For women are my theme--woman's right shall

When Adam dwelt in Eden, woman's rights

Woman's rights first bit the apple, then offered

Since the day she bit the apple, woman never

Womans rights, cries the mistress-woman =

The right to have the last word whatever may

The right to have the last seat in cars in church

The right to scold and spank us, when we were

The right to run about the streets-the right to

The right to follow the fashions up-n1ake dady

Potato Culture Decrease in the Yield

The further you get from the source of
all new kinds, (the seed ball, the less the
yield, the weaker the plant, more subtitle
to disease, and the finer the quality of
the tubers when they do escape the rot.
There may be exceptions to this rule, but
it is as far as my experience and observa-
tion goes The first kind of which have
any recollection was the Kidney-an ex-
cellent table potato, a good yielder for a
few years, but gradually running down,
notwithstanding all my exertions to keep
up the yield, by changing the seed, plant
ing the best and altering from meadow
to upland. Let me say here, that the
plan of using potatoes grown on muck
for seed on upland, and vice versa, will
add 20 per cent. to the quality. The
bulk cf my crop is grown on muck, but
NV practice is to raise my seed on high
Ground. l have also furnished a market
gardener, every year for ten years past,
with seed from the meadow, and his rea-
son for so doing was, that not only was
there much greater quality obtained,
but they grew very smooth, which they
do not when he uses his own seed. Soon
after the Kidney had run out, the Mercer
was introduced and yielded finely, OF
fair quality, but as different from the
Mercer now as if they were distinct va
rieties. At first there was but little
white about them-being mostly OF a
purplish color, which extended into the

tuber Those have grown in late wears
are, as a general thing, entirely white.
except the eyes around the end opposite
the stem, and this is more or less the
characteristic of those grown in my sec
ton at this time. In mine, it was
brought about by selecting seed to that
end for number of years, until they were
entirely white, both outside and III. All
this painstaking did not prevent them
from decreasing in yield and vigor of
constitution till they are no longer worth
cultivating. The same took place with
the Long Pinkeye, Prince Albert, June
and Peachblow. We might theorize on
the subject, but to the practical farmer,
theory is not worth much; facts are
what we want; ;and, if we are progressive
farmers, we will square our practice by
them. have discarded the old worn out
kinds, and now grow none but the Good
rich Seedlings, having the Garnet Chill,
Calico, Early Goodrich, Gleason and Har-
rison, all good yielders-the three last
enormously so, giving last year over 400
bushels per acre, in open field culture,
except the Harrison, which grew in linn
tied quantity for the first time. Except
the Garnet Chill, they are all white, a
locngish shape, good quality, and ripen in
time to escape frost. The Early Good
rich is a remarkable potato, in several re-
aspects. Besides being a good yielder, it
is the most beautiful grower of any ev-
er saw; and though as early as the earli-
est, it is good throughout the season.

A Funny Dog Story.

When the war in Italy commenced,
the Zouaves embarked for Genoa; but as
they were going on board ship they saw
a formal order forbidding the entrance
of all dogs upon the vessel. As they
were attached to their dogs, they were
stricken with grief. 1t was not easy to
deceive the sharp look out kept by the
intendant, for every soldier advanced a.
long the narrow gangway one by one as
their names were called. Necessity is
said to be the mother of invention. The
drummers unscrewed their drums, and
the best dogs of the reg't were concealed
in the drums, which were screwed up a.
gain. When regiments embark, no mu-
sic is played, but on this occasion the CO.
lionel determined there should be music.
He ordered the trumpets and drums to
take the head of the column, and to play
lively tune. The expression of the
drummers-every one of whom had q
dog in his drum-may be conceived The
trumpet sounded; the drums were silent.
The colonel got angry, and bawled to
know why the drums did not beat. There
was but one thing to do, and that was to
beat. The moment the drums began to
beat lnnumerable dogs began to howl
and bay, to the astonishment of everybo-
dy but the zouaves. Everybody looked
to the right and left-backward and for
word-no sign of a dog anywhere; and
yet, the more the drummers beat, the
more the dogs howled. At last spaniel
fell out of drum, rolled over and over,
and took to his heels howling as loud as
ever. Roars of laughter greeted this ex-
PLANTATION of the mysterious howls. The
intendants ordered the drummers to adj
vane on board, one by one, and to roll
the drum as they came. Ifbarking was
heard, the drum was unscrewed, and the
dog put ashore Only one one dog got
on board; this was Touton, who kept
quiet through all the rolling. 1t need
not be said that the Sd Zouayes adore
Touton. He made his e'atree into Paris,
few days since.-Paris Letter,
