TIE Supreme Court Of Illinois has
recently affirmed the principle that an
agent employed to sell land cannot
himself become the purchaser, and
that the agent is held to the strietest
fairness and integrity, and is bound to
act In the utmost good faith, so that II
he Is authorized to sell land at n fixed
price and sells 1t for a greater price, he
must account to his principal for the
excess. In the case under considera-
ton the agent, living In Chicago, who
was authorized to dispose Of fifteen
acres Of land at a stated price, reported
that he effected a sale and paid over
the purchase money, less his commits
sion. The principal afterwards learned
that the agent had sold thirteen acres
for more than the price fixed for the
fifteen, had appropriated the differ
ence, and had kept the remaining two
acres. The agent was, under the above
decision, compelled to reconvey the
two acres, and to make good the entire
amount which the thirteen acres,
brought.

WHAT a striking difference between
ls4s and 1870 in Germany! Then
william, now King of Prussia, was
the right hand Of the effort to crush
the first endeavors of the German PEG.
pie for unity. To thousands of brave
men driven from their home and scat
tered through all the world, curses
against him were a sort Of morning
and evening prayer. Now the same
men are the foremost in enthusiastic
sympathy with him in the struggle to
free Germany from French influence.
General Sigel, who, twenty-one years
ago, with his handful Of troops and
volunteers, fought desperately against
the overwhelming numbers of the
Prussians; Carl Schurz, who liberated
Godfrey Kinkel from the prison OF
Spandau; Which, and many others Of
the same kind, are now on King vii,
liam's side.

CHINAMEN As RAILROAD LABoRERs.
The Superintendent Of the Alabama
and Chattanooga Railroad Company
has written a letter to the Boston Id
rertiser, giving the facts connected with
the employment of Chinese on that
road. lie says that eighteen months
ago he was authorized to employ all
the laborers he could, both black and
white, and that by advertising In the
northern papers he succeeded with
great difficulty In forwarding in all
about 5000 white men, Irish, German
and American. The hot sun, however,
drove off this class Of men. He also
employed all the colored laborers
that could be secured, but owing to
the demands Of the planters and the
inadequate supply Of that class Of
labor, the company was obliged to
send to San Francisco for 1000 China
men, WHO had been employed on the
Central Pacific, to fill the places OF
the white laborers driven off by the
hot sun. He asserts that In the South
the Chinese do not in any way COM
pete with other labor, rs there Is album
dant employment for all, and not one
half workmen enough to meet the
demand. With respect to colored
laborers, the railroad company has
steadily increased their wages from IS
cents to 81 u day, paid eighteen months
ago, up to 81 75, which is now paid.

PARIS, August 1s.-It is feared that

M1scHIEyous OLD ERRoRs.-In the
midst OF change, Improvement and re-
form, quite @ number of questionable
old notions continue to be followed,
even now, when the very erroneous
character Of some Of them has been
generally acknowledged. OF this
character is the rigid adherence Of
drivers Of horses to that useless and
Injurious rule Of old times, the check
rein. Its use with draft horses Is posi-
lively cruel. When a horse Is drawing
q neavy load, ana particularly up nil,
he needs the utmost freedom Of lungs
and wind, and this he can never have
with a tight check-rein. That the
check-rein prevents a horse from
stumbling is more than doubtful on
the contrary, by elevating his eyes, 1t
prevents him from seeing clearly where
to place his foot. When 4 horse does
stumble, no is far less likely to 60 down
when his head Is left free. In Eng
land, where they are far ahead of us
in everything pertaining to horses, the
check-reln has been abolished; the last
surrender being that Of the artillery
and commissarait trains Of the British
army, the change having been made by
Sir George Burgoyne. the Commander
In Chief, and he testifles to the bene-
ticial effects attending it. In New
York City many Of the finest equip
ages are driven without the check-rein,
and a few humane people have thrown
it out Of use here. The old-fashioned
"blinkers," or blind-halters are also
useless, If not positively injurious, by
rubbing the lids Of the horses eyes;
and many experienced horsemen long
ago came to the conclusion that horses
are more easily alarmed at what they
hear and do not see, because, being in
telligent animals, II they can fully see
the objects, which when unseen or i'm
perfectly seen, tend to brighten them.
they are more readily Gained.

THIRD DISPATCH
DATES Te THIS MORNING.
BY Il CABLES.
FROM THE SEAT OF WAR
The French Successes Con-
frmed!
THE PRINCE ROYAL OF PRUs-
SEA WOUNDED!

PARIS, August ls.-Dlfrerent battles
around Metz were fought by the troops
Of the Twenty-third and Twenty
fourth Corps. About 10000 French
troops were engaged. The Prussian
loss is computed at 10000. The
French loss was comparatively small,
owing to protection by cannon and
fortress.
Official dispatches from Marshal b.
zaine, just received, claim q great vic
tory over Prince Frederick Charles
and General Steinmetz between Oou-
court and Frauville.
The investment of Strasburg Is so
slack that the French troops have en-
tered and reinforced the garrison.
Provisions have also been carried there
without an attempt at capture. 1t
would seem that the Prussians have
given up the idea Of a regular siege.
Having UNNECESSARILY attacked Pals
burg, the Prussiani retreated six miles
up the valley Of Dorsenheim to assure
their communication.
The Prince Royal Weundod.
1t Is pretty certain that the Prince
Royal of Prussia was wounded in one
Of the battles around Metz.
BERLIN, August 1S.-Details Of a
conflict at Pautamousson have just
been received. Bazaine, in endeavor-
ing to fall back from Metz to Verdun,
was attacked at 0 o'clock on Tuesday
morning, by the Fifth Division, and
forced to face about. The Prussians
were admirably firm, though they sus
tanned the attack Of four French corps,
among them the Imperial Guard.
After fighting CALAMITY for six hours
the Prussian Filth Division was rein
forced by the Tenth Corps, These re-
Inducements arrived opportumely. The

THE GERMANS:

According to unofficial statistics re-
Gently published in Berlin, the German
populations of Europe number fifty
four millions. This estimate includes
a certain portion of the other races
under German rule, with whom the
official language has insensibly taken
the place Of their native tongues.
Forty-nine millions inhabit a compact
territory, and are subjects Of different
German s~overeigns. About five mil
lions, or little more than one-tenth of
the whole number, are denizens of
nome erman States. The German Ian
guage is spoken in Europe throughout
a space Of territory equal In extent to
10000 square miles; fiv~e-sevenths Of
the soil Of Prussia and eight-ninths of
her population are included in this
vast tract. The foreign ace still ex-
listing in German-speaking countries
number about n million and a quarter,
and of these more than one-half are
Prussian subjects. Fifty per cent. of
these, however, speak German in addi-
ton to their own languages or dialects,
and the fact is greatly to the credit of
the system adopted by Prussia in the
treatment of the aliens inhabiting her
more recent territorial acquisitions. 1t
Is a circumstance worthy of attention,
that while Austria, during long years
sway over the Magyar aud Tech races,
utterly failed in substituting the Ger
man language for the Hungarian and
oiaronio tongues In r>amnonia and Do
hemia, Prussia has succeeded In Ger
manizing Posen and Lithuania so COM
pletely that the Slavonic dialects, to
which the inhabitants of these coun-
tries were formerly so attached, have
fallen into comparative desuetude. As
soon as the disasters of 1886 had effec-
tually strangled Capitalization in Aus
tria, the Magyars, TECHS, Roumans
and Serbs freed themselves, as If by
magic, from German lexlcons, typo
graphy and conversation. Yet every
year e c German literature, customs
and organization striking deeper roots
into the once wild frontier districts
Of Prussian Sarmatia. Should the
scheme of a United Germany ever be
realized, and If we may judge from
what the leading intellects Of the Teu-
tonic races have done and are doing,
the German nation will assume the
position Of the leading people of Eu-
rope. They are now eminent In liter
allure, learning, philology, philosophy,
freedom of thought and nobleness Of
Imagination, music and poetry and
to these laurels must now be added
those of the highest qualities of the
| soldier and the statesman.
