Stretched it a Little.

A little girl and her brother
were on their way to the store
one winter morning The grass
on the common was white with
frcst, and wind was very damp.
They Were both poorly dressed,
but the little girl had kind of
cloak over her which she seemed
to have outg,own.
As they walked briskly along,
she drew the boy closer to her, and
said:
Come under my coat, John
ny"
at isn't big enough for both,
sister"
Then I will try and stretch it
a hitle;" and they were soon as
close together and as warm as
birds in the same nest.
Now, why can't we all stretch
our comforts little ? There are
many shivering bodies. and sad
hearts, and weeping eyes in the
world, just because people do not
stretch their comforts beyond
themselves.

ALL FOR GoLD.-During the
recent great food iu Virginia, a
man in the track of the devouring
flood had already been driven
from the lower stories, and with
his family had taken refuge up
stairs, when a party of his neigh
bors came to his rescue. By his
side were his wife and seven chill
dren, and a safe in which be had
the earnings of years. The man
would not leave the house without
the safe; the woman refused to
leave without her husband, and
there they remained watching the
safe the waters rose higher and
higher; with but moment warn
ing the house was carried from its
foundations, and in a few minutes
MAI. woman and seven children
lay silently at the bottom Of the
river.

Military Elections.

The 9Th United States Regi
ment has done duty in elections
thus:
Tennessee, beaten.
North Carolina, do.
South Carolina, Uictorious.
New York. beaten.
Where this regiment is to be
marched to next is not known,
but there is report that there is
trouble on the Platte among the
Squaws, and that the Sth Regi-
ment is next to b; ordered to see
that Big Squaw has a clear field
against Little Squaw.
Ttris interference of soldiers in
elections, big or little, must make
the lrlshmen and Germans in the
ranks, as we'll as the native born
Americans, all blush. We do not
see that soldier is called upon to
fire on American citizens, election
days, anything, even blank cart
ridges, for if be old, and kill any
body that would not be war, but
murder.

A specimen of white mans JUS.
tice to the red man is complained
of as now to be seen in Omaha.
Several Pawnee / dians are in
prison there, charged with a crime
murder which was never prov
en-, ana OF which not one man in
one hundred of the community be-
lieves them to be guilty. They
have been so long in durance that
the editor of the Omaha Herald
says they are being absolutely
under the forms of the
law. and are plainly the victims
of the hatred of race. Such facts
are not likely to make the plains
any safer than they might be Tor

Liabilities Of Express
COMPANIES.

The New York Bulletin reports
an important decision, involving
the liability of express companies,
which has just been rendered in
the case of Cochran VS.. the Adams
Express Company in New York.
The facts of the case are briefly
these: The sum of $4,000 was
committed to the company to be
taken to New Orleans. The mon
jey was supposed to have been put
in the company's safe on board
the steamer "Bio Bio," which was
burned at New Orleans before dis.
charging her cargo. The safe was
shown to have been put into dry
goods box and properly shipped,
but no one could tell what had be.
come of it after it was taken on
board, nor could the divers who
visited the vessel discover any
traces of j.. The defense was
based upon the proviso of the con-
tract by which the company we've
relieved from responsibility for
any loss unless it was proved to
have resulted from the fraud or
negligence of themselves or their
agents. Judge Cardozo, before
whom the case was first tried,
held that although there was no
direct evidence of fraud, enough
had been proved to put upon the
company the burden of proving
that they were not negligent.
Judgment was accordingly given
for the plaintiff, and this, OH ap-
peal, the Supreme Court in Gener-
al Term has promptly affirmed.
The circumstances of the case are
not extraordinary. and the judg
ment which IS now sustained is
of importance as defining more
clearly the responsibility Of ex-
press companies for the safe trans
portation and delivery Of valua-
bles committed to their care.

In Macon, Ga: a negro was BIT
ten by a dog attached to a circus,
and sued for damages. He was
allowed an attachment upon the
property of the circus for 81. 900,
to- abide the result of the suit
The sheriff is there obliged to at
tach under such circumstances
the property pointed out by the
defendant. The circus man elec-
ted that Royal Bengal tiger, or
an African tigress with cubs,
should be levied upon without the
cages. The sheriff declined max
ing the levy, and the circus man.
giving his personal security to ap-
pear for trial, went on his way.

A gOod-but we know not how
rellable-story is related of a
venerable doctor, of the expert
mental and eclec ic school of med
icine. 1t was his rule never to
have anything wasted and there
fore when any prescription remain
ed after the patient had died or
recovered, be wouid empty ii into
a bottle kept for the purpose, that
became the receptacle OF hetero-
geneous compound that science
could not analyze. A young r
member of faculty noted this
as very singular fact, and asked
of him the reason for it. The doc
tor hesitated a little, and then re-
piled that, though in ordinary
cases he knew what to do, there
were instances when all his medi-
cal skill failed. At such time it
was his custom to resort to the
big bottle, and leave nature and
accident to accomplish the cure.
"And, will you believe it ?" said
he, ''some of my most brilliant
successes have resulted from it%

A fascinating youth of Lou
isville was recently very badly
'sold" by the matron of the
Kentucky State prison, in whose
daughter he seemed to evince a
strong interest while travelling
in a railroad car. Thinking
that the Irritation had continued
long enough, she changed
her seat 10 the side of the young
man, and whispered in his ear: !:
"Sir, you are a total stranger
to me, but l feel it to be my
duty to warn you of impending
evil. That young lady is just
out Of the State prison" A
passenger got of at the next sta

Questions occur: "Age of father,
