The political economists Of California are comp.,.
ing notes as to the relative value of mining and
other varieties Of labor One shows by impregnabls
logic and honest figures thatas 1000 men are engaged
in mining, they ought, at So so per day. to earn
S375OOOOO per annum; but the gold product is only
S20OOOOOO year; so that each dollar Of the yield
| costs 81 81. On the other hand the honest miner
| being thus completely bOwed down, it is shown
that the savings banks Of California, which hold the
deposits of working people, have hand the gener-
GUS sum of S5l, 100000. This, by skllful compute
| ton, is taken an evidence of general thrift and
prosperity each inhabitant Of the State being cred
tied with worldly possession of about S1,lOo in
gold. At last accounts. tho workingman was ahead.
The legal meaning Of the word "either" wa
oravely argued in English Court Of Chancery the
other day. certain testator left property the dspo

Judgment the Court ruled that Z" either" meant ono

Something very exciting happened at Rockford

| considerable property and also of a considerable
number of years of age 1907, is married to an ex-

admired by the youth Of the yicinage, and also by
! Mr.. White the gentlemanly proprietor of hotel.
! Mrs. Wilder is fond of driving fast horses, and ono
evening while on the road, the gentemanly proprl-

II "a quite proper for The Philadelphia Press to op
| pose sumptuary legislation. and cite from history
illustrations of its futility and generally evil ten
dency but we submit that it is not within the limits
of fair and honest argument to say there is danger
of repeating the Blue Laws of the Puritanicai past
when 1t was an ofense to smile at babe and 8
orieyous sin for a man TO kiss his own wife on the
! Sabbath day. This sort Of stuff about the Blue
| Laws which never had all existence except IN tha
! vydy malicious fancy of Peters, the bogus his
torian has been often corrected upon the best OF
authorities that to treat it true now only indi-
Gates ignorance or prejudice in remarkable degree.
The Wisconsin Assembly has a chaplain the Rev.
Mr. Richardson who is determined TO do bis duty
and 10 earn his salary. He admonishes the members
in an indirect way through his prayers The other
morning he invoked the Almighty to put stop to
the practice of dancing in the Assembly Chamber
| He also represented that the Honorable Members
were too much given TO levity and foolishness and
he prayed that they might be brought tOa realizing
sense" of their weakness and folly We are told that
the Legislature manifests at the beginning of each
session an inclination to try the experiment OF
getting along without any chaplain at all-and We
are not much surprised.
An unprecedented combat occurred at Albany last
! Monday. 1t was fight between two goats and q
| man. The cunning and bOldness Of the animals ara
! said to have been remarkable They lodged about
like professional pugilists; they ran between the
mans legs they jumped against his body, and, ~
the report says, bncked him in all possible ways
| As for the man. all he could do was to kick out
wildly. The more he kicked the more ferocIous be-
came the goats and it IS thought that they would
| have killed him if their owner bad not by force
withdrawn them from the arena.
An English judge is reported to have said recently
! that jury should never number less than twelve.
as it generally occurred that the jury there was
| some one who had peculiar knowledge of the kind
of question to be tried. But what is wanted in
Jury is an equality of this sort of knowledge; and
when this is missing it is not the eleven who are i'll
| informed but the one who is well-infOrmed who
makes up the verdict The true course, it seems 70
u.s. certainly the better one, would be to have uros
of experts fit investigate particular eases and In
a position to compare each others experiences.
