A RAILROAD DECISION. important
decision has recently been given in the
United States Circuit Court in Iowa, in
n case in which widow brought suit
against q railroad company to recover
Si5. 900 for the killing of her husband
while walking on the track. The Judge
in charging the jury, said: "No man
has a right to go upon the railroad track
in such place, and go along in a state
of abstraction careless of what might
happen to him, and then turn around
and saw to the railroad company, how
ever negligent they may have been, you
are responsible for my safety. If he
is careless himself, it can't be expected
that the railroads can be made to take
care of him, and pay for him if he is
killed. Being on the track and walking
in n direction where a railroad train
might oyertake him, reasonable care
required of him that he should be vigilant
and watchful to discover the approach
of any train, and especially from behind. "
The jury rendered verdict for the
defence.

The Dukes MittelS.

In the winter OF 1877, says the author
of "reminiscences of Fifty Years" " the
wife of an Industrious blacksmith in
Essex resolved to knit pair of mittens
for the Duke of Wellington, as she had
to ask his Grace a favor, to which the
gift was to be Introductory.
The mittens were received at the
Apsley House, and the Duke wore them
the same day at the Horse-Quards, show
ing them, with smile, to his military
colleagues there, and desiring that the
honest danes request might be immedi-
ately attended to. She stated that her
husband had been one of his Grace's
soldiers, and that he had had the mis-
fortune of losing his Waterloo medal,
which he had always worn on the ami
versary Of his marriage. She stated that
this anniversary was again approaching,
and that she would be deeply grateful if
the Duke would allow another medal to
be issued, as the loss had seriously
affected her husbands spirits. She
would only further trespass on his Grace

be sent to her privately, as she wrote
without her husbands knowledge, and
wished to give her partner an agreeable
surprise on the arrival OF the wedding
day.
This was speedily approaching. The
Duke had ordered that her request
should be attended to, but the poor wife
had received no medal. She accordingly
yentured to address a second letter to
the Duke this was soon known at the
Horse Guards. His Grace arrived there
one morning in towering passion,
dashed the letter down on the table, and
demanded to know why his orders had
been neglected. The matter had been
overlooked. An instant reference was
made to gentleman in Essex, who in
guired if the claim was correct one !;
this providing to be the case, the medal
was dispatched without delay but
whether in time for the nuptial day is
uncertdin.

Western Justice.

Several years ago, when the West was
comparatively anew country, an individ-
ual presented himself at the door of a
log grocery in settlement since aban-
doned, and asked if there was Judge in
the place. Upon being informed that
the store-keeper himself was Judge,
the stranger proceeded:
" Well, judge, you see the facts in the
case are this | war travelin' along
with a pardner down here n piece, and
he showed me a silver dollar which he
had. Well, I Popped him under the ear
with my pistol. Then I took his silver
and tobacco, and cum along alone but
got to thinking the matter over, and I
don't think 1 did just the right thing by
my pardner. My conshuns has been
troublin' me, and l think I ought to be
hung. Now, judge, if it wouldn't be too
much trouble, I'd like to have you try
me and have me hung. If You doubt
the facts in the case, there is the dollar
| took from my pardner, and you'll find
his remains down the road piece under
a log. I'll feel obliged to you, Judge, if
you'll have me hung"
The judge told the stranger to make
himself comfortable over at the hotel
until he could send some men to investi-
gate the matter, and if they found the
body he would call jury and try the
stranger, rs was desired. The dead man
being found, the Judge summoned a
Jury, and sent word to the stranger at
the hotel that if he would step over to
the store they would give him a trial.
The stranger appeared Immediately,
shook hands with the judge and jury,
invited the court to take a drink, and
appeared grateful and satisfied with the
proceedings.
The trial proceeded socially, and the
tender-hearted jury brought in verdict
of guilty of manslaughter in the To- A
look Of anxiety, which the stranger had
worn up to this time, faded from his face
as he stood up to receive his sentence.
"You have been found guilty. said the
judge, "of the crime of manslaughter,
for which you are undoubtedly peni-
tent" Here the stranger again began
to get anxious and uneasy.
"And if" proceeded the Judge, " it
meets with you appreciation, We will try
to hang you next Sunday morning, at II
o'clock A. NJ. In the meantime, try to
make yourself as comfortable as possi
be"
The stranger looked little sad, and
the Judge asked him ifhe wasn't satisfied.
If there was anything he could do for
him.
"Judge, l hate to be particular and
fussy," said the stranger, "but havin'
the ager and fever, the chills come on at
10 o'clock in the mornin' an il you could
have me swung off before that 1 should
feel obliged"
"Of course" sGid the Judge, 1--WE
always respect party's feelings. No
trouble at all. Come round at 9 o'clock,
and may be we'll get through before
church time"
Sunday morning at 9 o'clock the
stranger came out Of the hotel and pro-
ceeded to the grocery. There he met a
deputation of citizens, one of whom
threw lariat over the limb OF a tree,
and, as soon as the stranger had taken a
chew of tobacco and shaken hands all
round, they hauled him up.

"Why, when were you married ?' said
Fannie.
"Just about two months ago. She
couldn't come with me when came to
Newport; soshe said she would come on
in a few days aterward with nv sister,
and they will arrive tomorrow"
| knew all about it all the time, but the
whole thing had been kept a secret from
the rtst of the party, and therefore such a
piece of information was like thunder
clap to them.
Miss Livingston was terribly cut up to
find that she had been wasting all her arts
upon married man; and to think that she
had fallen into the trap herself which she
had set for another was too bad.
The next morning she said that she had
received letter from her father asking
her to come home; that he would meet
her at the boat landing in New York. Sc
she packed up her things, and took the
evening boat for New York.
Sutherlands' wife did come, and We all
enjoyed her visit exceedingly. She was :
dear, sweet little creature, and without {
particle of jealousy in her nature. Al

Miss Livingston, and she laughed as shC
said,
"You ought to have been ashamed o
yourself to deceive the poor girl So"
"But, my dear, it was exactly what she
had done to Others, and what she was try.
ing to do with me, only he shoe rGs on ht

Loves Music.

Love held harp between his hands, and 10
The master-hand, upon the harp-strings laid,
By way OF prelude such sweet tune played
As made the heart with happy tears o'eraow!
But sad and wilder did that music grow;
And, like the wall Of woods by storm-gusts
swayed,
While yet the awful thundcr's wrath is stayed,
And earth lies faint beneath the coming blow,
Still wilder walked that time, until at length
The strong strings, strained by sudden stress
and sharp
or that musicians hand intolerable,
And Jared by sweep Of unrelenting strength,
Sundered, and all the music broken fell.
Such was loves music,-lo, the Shattered
Harp!

Glass as a Non.Conductor Of Heat.

Glass, says the Journal cfhe Telegraph,
is practically non-conductor OF heat as
well as of electricity. A practical example
of the latter may have been seen in the
use of glass rs an insulator, non-con-
ductor, for telegraphic purposes. 1t is
difficult to draw the line of non-conduc-
ton, but bad conductors of heat are
practically assumed as non-conductors.
The question of conduction is purely
one of degree. Let two rods of equal
size and length-but one of copper and
and the other of glass-be brought to-
gether, and have at their extremities a
small weight or marble attached by wax.
Apply spirit lamp to the ends, touch
ing each other so that the heat be equally
applied in the case of the copper,
owing to its being good conductor,
the wax will rapidly melt and let the
weight drop; while in the case of the
glass, owing to its being a very bad con-
ductor, a very long time must elapse
before such result can happen.

and ordered him to run guantlet out

through parallel rows of citizens, who
now horse-whipped him, and anon kicked
him.

Scientific EXPLORATIONS.

Among the United States government
explorations to be prosecuted during the
present year, We should not omit to
mention that of the Lake Survey under
the Engineer Bureau. This work has
been in progress for a number OF years,
and in the reliability of the observations
and the beauty of the maps published
occupies the very first rank. The work
at present is under the charge of Gene
ral C. B. Comstock, and will be carried
on in several localities simultaneously.
The survey OF Lake St. Clair, which was
nearly finished last year, will be CON-
pleted the present season; and the par
ty, on finishing it, will then proceed to
the St. Lawrence River, in the neigh
borhood of 0gdensburg, and there car
ry on their labors. Both shores of Lake
Michigan will be surveyed during the
season, commencing at Sheboygan on
the eastern shore, aud at point north
of Grand Haven on the western. 1t is
expected the whole will be completed as
far south as Kenosha before the opera
tions are interrupted for the winter. Tri-
aneulations will he conducted along
Lake Michigan between Green Bay and
Milwaukee. In addition to the hydro
graphical and surveying work prosecuted
by these parties great attention is paid
to securing reliable data in regard to the
meteorology of the country, with the
special view of determining the average
conditions of the rainfall and other
phenomena. The data already collected
have been OF great value, and have done
much toward supplying accurate infor-
nation.
