Save Something.

The workingman should not live fully up to
his incomc unless it be a matter of absolute
necessity. If he can only lay aside one or two
dollars per week, it is some provision against
want and suffering when he is unable to take his
accustomed place in the workshop. The strong
man is sometimes bowed down by disease; or his
wife and little ones may languish the bed of
illness. At such times the family expenses are
increased. The doctor must be paid medicine
must be bought, and delicacics must be provided
for the sick.
The mechanic who has nothing laid up for a
''rany day" must suffer when sickness keeps him
from his daily toll. His wages are stopped, but
his expenses continue, and, ere he knows it, sut-
tering and want are added to his woes Those
who, by small weekly or monthly contributions
emtitle themselves to the charities of benevolent
institutions, act wisely and we'll Any plan by
which they provide against such contingencies
rs we have mentioned is worthy their attention.
Let the worlngnlan economist while in health
and always keep u fund in reserve for the I'M
certain future.

Military Commanders.

AS foreshadowed some days age the President
has relieved General Pope from the command of
the third military district, and named General
Meade as the successor in that command This
action can be readily understood by all who have
been observant of the course pursued by General
Pope i'll the matter Of removals Of State officers,
who decapitated without the assignments
Of facts constituting objections Of the law; but
especially has General Pope's conduct been OBJ
jcctionable to the Executive in so far as that
military commander, whilst in the exercise of
his official duties, has sought to identify himself
political partizan, and in working openly
and avowedly IN the interest Of the radical party.
1t Is not expected that General Meade will
give himself over to the interests Of any party.
and certainly no understanding Of any kind has
been entered into between that officer and the
President as to the course that shall be pursued
in the conduct of affairs in the third district.
have it from unquestonable authority that Gen.
Meade is selected to succeed Gen. Pope simply
upon the belief that the former will execute the
reconstruction laws to the letter. and at the same
time in such manner as to give to none Just cause
for complaint Of tyranny partial exercise of
the almost unlimited powers conferred upon dis
trict commanders here is no foundation in
fact for the reports in the papers that General
Meade demonstrated against his appointment to
INC Ilc dt the same Time IN
dictated that if appointed he would exceed Gen
Pope IN rigorous execution Of the law.
General Ord not long since requested that he
might be relieved from command of the fourth
district, and on that account. and in the hone
that new officer in charge Of that district might
possibly avoid some of the errors committed by
the late commander and govern the district in IA
more consistent and systematic manner than it
has heretofore been managed, Gen. Ord was re-
lieved.
1t was shown satisfactorily to the President
that General Wager Swayne has been making
use of his official position in Alabama for his
(Swayue's) own political advancement, and there
fore that he be relieved from duty in that State
and join his regiment in Nashville HuShinq-

Important Decisions.

A couple of judicial decisions recently made in
suits between private individuals and Express
companies have interest for the general reader,
and will 60 far toward inspiring feeling Of Sc
! curity in the bosom of persons who are obliged
to entrust valuables to those exceedingly useful
and generally reliable and liberal institutions
The first case was that of young lady named
Livingston, who returning to New York from a
visit to Washington, delivered her baggage or
rather the check therefor, to one of the city bag
gage express companies. Her trunk was lost in
their possession, and she sued for the full value
OF its contents-somc 81 900 in amount The
defendants plead the terms Of the check given by
them, which limited their liability fer lost bag
gage to a value not exceeding one hundred dol
lars. The judge held that stipulation Of that
character was not binding, and it having been
proved that the clothing, jewclry &c, lost with
the trunk were suitable and proper for a lady in
her position, a Judgment was rendered for the
full amount claimed
The second s.it was that of mercantile house
IN Springfield, Mass, against the Adams Express
company, for the value of a box of pistols de-
hvered to its agent for shipment to Vicksbarg,
and which was lost by the blowing up on the
Mississippi river of the steamboat on which it
was being transported. y demand was made for
the payment Of the value Of the goods so lost,
but the claim was rejected by the company, on
the ground that the goods were sent by the OF
binary route and method Of transportation, that
the steamer carrying them was not under its
control, and that the terms Of the receipt given
at the time the goods were received by the COM
pany exoneratcd it from dangers arising from
river navigation and steam. The express COM
pany gave no other reason for declining the re-
sponsibty of the loss and a suit for damages
was brought by the losers before the Superior
Court In June; on the ground that the company
was a common carrier. The court at that time
so decided, but the defendants appealed to the
Supreme Court of Massachusetts, which has now
sustained the decision, and made declaration in
fact that express companies common carriers,
and are responsible for the safety of the goods
which they are paid to transport.
