AN IMPORTANT DECISION. The SUI
preme Court of New York has decided
that railroad companies cannot refuse to
deliver grain in bulk to any warehouse
to which it may have been consigned
situated so as to be reached within its
termini on routes in the usual line of its
freighting business. The position held
by the courts is, that when a railroad
company is chartered. it becomes Il com
mon carrier along its route, and all rules
and contracts are subject to the laws
governing common carriers. The deci-
sion is equitable and has an important
bearing on general trade interests.

new spirit, has been aroused IN that
unhappy country. The reports of leyo-

from the papers, giving place to the

At Ma2atlan, musical school has been
established with the assistance of the
local authorities. a similar institution
has been started at La Paz. AT Duran
go, n school for iron smelling has been
founded, to make the famous iron noun

established in almost every village, and
the parents made subject to a fine if they

children. At Vera Cruz, apubhc library

A HUNGARIAN OFFICER was wounded at
Sadowa, and was fast bleeding TO death
when the surgeon came to him. He
could easily have beeu saved but refused
all aid. Amid the severest pain he pre-
served the calmest mein. The surgeon
noticed that he held something rigidlv in
his hand. pressing it to his breast. Fl
nally he began to tremble, and crying out
It has done me no good, threw a piece
of paper away and bresthed his last
The paper was found to be nothing but q
talisman, written in unintelligible char
acters, but had in reality proved the
cause of the officers death, by his refus-
ing surgical aid in the belief that tn e
charm would preserve him from death.

AN INTERESTING question has present
ed itself to the members Of the Nebraska
legislature The constitution limits the
sessions to forty days. The present SEES
sion has already exceeded that time by
several days, Yet the impeachment trial
of Gov. Butler has just begun, and will
probably take several weeks. The mem
bers will have to work without pay. If
they adjourn now and trust to the Secre-
tary of State who is Acting Governor,
to call an extra session Immediately that
they may vote themselves pay, all the
proceedings they have have had on i'm
parchment, with all other unfinished
business, will have to be re-enacted. If
they go on and finish the trial, and the
Governor should not be convicted, he
would not probably call an extra session
to allow members to vote themselves pay
for trying to convict him of high crimes
So the Legislature is in doubt what to do.
One House wants to adjourn. while the
other refuses, and wants to proceed with
the trial.

The making of gold-lace is very
interesting process First is made n rod.
of silver, perhaps an inch thick and two
feet long. This rod is heated, and coy
cred with gold-leaf which is gold beaten
out till it is thin as paper. Several
thicknesses of gold-leaf ARE put on and
thoroughly FURNISHED, till it looks like II
rod of gold. 1t is then drawn through
| the holes in the wire-drawers plate, till
1t is fine enough to go through the most
minute holes, made through rubes
When done, it is no thicker than n coarse
hair. This most exquisite wire, still
perfectly coated with gold-for the gold
stretches as far rs the silver is then
made fiat, and by machinery wound
around fine thread or silk
Girls who embroider with gold or sill
yer thread have probably noticed that
the gold thread is, i'll fact, yellow cotton
thread, with most fairy like ribbon Of
gold closely wound around it. This gold
thread is woven into lace, tor various
uses.
Another beautiful use of wire is fila
gree-work. You may have seen it in
ladies pins and earrings but it is also
made into marble ornaments, statuettes,
etc, and is merely gold or silver wire,
twisted by delicate tools into beautiful
shapes.
The most exquisite of these ornaments
come from Italy, where the workmen
have more time and patience to bestow
on such things than we busy Americans;
though, as my grandfather used to say,
q" how. all the .;,.,n FL "~o i'''''
In old times, wiremakimg was not so
easy process. 1t was made thus The
iron or gold was beaten thin, cut INTO
fine strips, and filed round with files.
What an amount of labor to make yard
of wire
The ancients would hardly have
thoughts of making whole bridges of it.

A Discussing Story.

A few days ago German woman,
wife of John Hoffman, a fisherman,
died at her home, situated in the north
part of the city, in the district former
~ attached to Mt. Pleasant. Some
ladies Of the good Sa marian nature,
who are ever ready to lend a helping
hand in csse of distress, sickness or
death, went to the house to prepare the
corpse for christian burial. In the
house everything bore the imprint of
the most abject squalor. In a cradle
covered with an old piece of on-cloth,
lay the corpse of s. baby but two mouths
old. on whose bodysswhich was mass
of filth, naggots were found cIawling.
On the bed, composed of rags, was the
dead mother, her hands fiercely clutch
ed, as if she had died in great agony.
Upon making the preparations fo1 lay
ing out the body the hands by dint of
hard work, were opened or unclasped,
when five-doll ar greenback and a
ten-cent piece, postal currency, were
found therein, to'the surprise of all
resent, even the deceased woman
husband; nor was that all, for, upon
commencing to remove her garments,
upon almost every portion ofher body,
small amounts of money were found,
evven to a one dollar bill lying on heI
abdomen. About the bed We're found
different amounts of money, rolled up
in rags, some of which must have been
boarded for years, as bills on old state
banks were fnund, one of which was SC
mutilateq and obliterated that it could
uot be discovered what bank had issue.

We are indebted to an exchange for
the following: ''In the fairest village
of western New York the "culled pus-
sons" In emulation of their white
brethren, formed a debating society for
the purpose of improving their minds
hy the discussion of instructive and en-
tertaining topics. The deliberations
of the society were presided over by q
venerable darkey, who performed the
duties with the utmest dignity peculiar
to his color. The subject for discussion
on the occasion of which we write was:
(which am de mudder of the chicken
de hen wot lay de egg, or de hen wot
lay de egg, or de hen wot matches de
chick? The question was warmly de-
bated, and many reasons pro and con
were nrged and combated by the ex-
cited disyutants. Those in favor of the
Iattersproposition were evidently in
the majority, and the president made
no attempt to conceal that his sympa-
thies were with the dominant party.
At length an Intelligent darky arose
from the minority side, and begged
leave to state proposition to'thfS effect:
.SpOse,' said he, dat you set one dozen
ducks eggs under a hen, and dey
hatch, which am de mudder, de duck
or de ehickw This was poser, was
llput, and nonplussed the other side,
even staggering the president, who
plainly saw the force of the argument,
but had com mitted himself too far to
yield without a struggle; so after cogi-
tating and scratching his woody head a
few minutes a bright idea struck him.
Rising from his chair in all the pride
of conscious superiority he announced ;
Ducks am not before de house: chicks
am de question; da' 'fo' | rule de ducks

overthrow of his opponents

A-PLEAsANT instance of poetic Jus
tice is re ported from town in Oregon.
One morning young man called up
on the editor of the only paper in the
county, asked permission to look'at the
bound files of that paper for 1869. 1t
was granted. While the editor was in
bed waiting till his wife could wash
his shirt, that young man carried
away the file, nor was it ever seen
again, until his lawyeroffered it in ev-
idence during the trial of an action for
S., 1000 damages, for an alleged libel,
which the young man brought against
that editor. 1t is gratifying to learn
that the plaintiff recovered six and one
fourth cents, damages, and was arrest
ed by the editor on the charge of steal
ing books, convicted and sentenced to
the penitentiary for seven years. He
now masticates mush and molasses in
the penal institution aforesaid. Let
those who would not share his fate.
