4 New Safety Switch.

This is a jolly sort of an idea. The New
York and New Haven Railway Company
have been experimenting with new safe
ty switch, which is thus described: The
lever of the switch is enclosed in a small
house of sentry pox, the door of which is
locked. When the switchman enters the
house and opens the switch, he thereby
shuts the door of the house or box, from
which he can not make his exit till, by
shutting the switch, he thereby opens the
desg Of the box; II By ~ any yat Shancs g train
he must make his escape from the box to
avoid the probability ofbeing himself killed
He can not make his escape without shut
ting the switch. Therefore, every time a
switchman opens a switch, he is bound,
under penalty of death, to have it closed
before any train comes along. One man
can attend to oaly one switch.

LAGER BEER ON SUNDAY.
Beer Sales on Sunday Allowable.


There was notice in the CHRONICLE a
few days ago about the case of Weitmuller
VS.. the State, pending before the Supreme
Court at Nashville, in which the question
raised was whether the sale of lager beer
on Sunday was legal. The case was de
cided on Saturday, Judge Nicholson de-
livering the opinion of the Court. He
stated the question to be thus:
Is lager beer q spirituous liquor, with
IN the meaning of sec. 1851 of the Code,
which enacts that mo licensed grocer or
other person in this State, shall retail spir-
ltuous liquors on Sunday. The punish
ment of this offense shall be fine and
imprisonment, as the discretion of the
Court. ~ tra s--.---.ff +-. .-.-.
After reviewing the authorities and stat
utes, the Court concludes as follows:
1T will be observed that the only change
made in the act of 1888, in transferring ii
to the Code, was to make its violation a
more stringent misdemeanor. 1t was con-
trarysto the genius of our Government that
a criminal offense, which involved the i'm
prisonment of a citizen, should be created
merely by judicial construction. The stat
ute was leveled at distilled spirits, and not
at fernaented liquors, and the Court would
be guilty of judicial legislation ifit should
by construction so enlarge the meaning of
the words as to make a new criminal Of
fense. rAs anxious as the Court may be
to promote the object of the statute, we
can not do SO by assuming legislative pow
ers.'

The Land Bounty Bill,

As passed by the House Thursday, differs
widely from the measure as reported by
the Military Committee. Instead of re-
quiring residence on land before acquiring
the title or right to assign, each officer,
soldier, sailor or marine can enter quar-
ter section of any unoccupied lands, in
the lines of land grant railroads, and pro-
cure patert at once in the regular way,
and is then as free as any holder of public
lands to sell if he desires. There will be
