urges strongly that it is the duty of clergymen,

discuss the political topics of the day from a
high Christian standpoint.
cad Clerum," by Joseph Parker, D. D..
author of ''Ecce Deus" is one of a class of
books which followed in the wake of Professor

The work before us, although its title is in bad
taste, contains some excellent practical ideas
and suggestions with regard to the duties and
responsibilities of preachers, and it is worthy
of place in every clerical library.
From Claxton, Remsen & Haffelfnger we
have received ga Manual of Ancient History,
by George Rawlinson, NJ A. Published by
Harper Brothers. This work is a compen-
dium of history from the earliest times to the
fall of the Western Empire, and it COM
prises in brief the history of Chsldes,
Assyria, Media, Babylonia, Lydia,
Ph@nicia, Syria, Judea, Egypt,
Carthage, Persia, Greece, Macedonia, Parthia,
and Rome. This work, in its general arrange
ment and in its general completeness, is
decidedly the best manual of ancient his

be equally valuable as textbook for

and general readers.

such obligation of the railway to deliver grain
TO the said elevator, because it appears from the
evidence that the track of the Sc. Louis Railway
termidates at the south line of Madison street,
and that, although there is q switch connecting
IL with the North western and Pittsburg Compa-
MES track north of Madison street, by which
it's cars could be moved to said elevator
(only about five hundred feet distaut), yet II
has no lawful right to use any portion of
said track, and does not use IL unless occasion
ally 10y special courtesy. This point, however,
does not appear to be quite free from doubt, aud
three of the judges give dissenting opinions
upon the point, holding that the proofs of the
actual use of said track north of Madison street
by the st. Louis company are sufficient to esta-
blish common user, and therefore the obliga-
tion to deliver grain consigned to the Illinois
river elevator, and, IL not that then the railway
must deliver on its track or side track at the
nearest point to the consignee, allowing a rea-
sonable time for the removal of the grain from
it's ears at that point.
''As regards the point of public interest, these
minor details in this particular case are of
secondary Importance. The decision, in both
cases, affirms the law Of common and equal
rights against the assumed special and ex-
elusive rights and usurped powers of the ele-
vator ring. 1t clears all legal and sophistical
rubbish out of the way, and leaves a straight
and plain road for the action of the General
Assembly"

interest Eastern grain dealers;-
''The decisions of the Supreme Court of Illi-
nois, in the two elevator cases that have been
pending for some months, are chiefly important
in lighting the way of the General Assembly to
proper and effective legislation upon the great
warehouse monopoly wrong. The principle
involved was the same in both cases, and COM
pretended the right of shipper of grain to
consign his shipment to whomsoever he would,
and the duty OF railway company TO deliver it
at the warehouse of such eonsignee If the same
be accessible by railway track owned or COM
