The Cash Value of a Child.

Some two years ago little child two
or three years old strayed on the track
of the Chicago and Rock Island rail
road, near Davenport, and was killed 10y
a passing train. The father brought a
suit for damages against the company.
The case has been in litigation ever
since, and involves an important princi-
pie of law.
The claimant attempted to prove the
probable duration of the life of child
of that age from the tables of life in-
surance actuaries. The court of origi-
nal jurisdiction refused to admit testi-
mony on that poiut. On an appeal the
Supreme Court granted a new trial on
the ground that the prosecution had a
right to MAKE the showing denied by
the court below. The verdict on the
first trial was for the probable loss to
the father of the child's services during
minority. The sum assessed was $3.50
Upon the second trial the jury took into
account the loss which the estate of the
child had suffered from death, this
estate commencing ut u years and con-
tinuing for the probable duration of its
life. It's services, or earnings, during
minority, were not considered. This
was in accordance with the ruling of the
Supreme Court. The amount brought
was $4,000 This makes the entire
damage 81, $50, that being the valuation
put by an Iowa jury, from strictly
monetary point of view, upon child
two years of age, over and above the
cost of support. Illinois statutory law
places the value of person killed by
rail at So, 900 irrespective of age.
The Iowa case has been appealed
again, and may be brought before the
Supreme Court of the United States.
In that case we shall have an answer
from the highest authorityin the country
to the question, Can parents claim
damages for the services of child that
has met with violent death and also for
the probable estate of the diseased in
manhood? The Supreme Court of Iowa
answers in the Affirmative Chicago
Journal

Funny Firemen.

They have a delicate appreciation of
humor, the fremen of Cleveland. When
a needy colored man applied at one of
the engine houses for employment, they
gave their jocose tendencies full scope,
and enjoyed themselves amazingly.
The poor fellow was sent from engine
house to engine house until there was
none left to send him to. Then he was
sent into the cupola of one of them to
watch for fires; the ladder was taken
down and he was left there in the cold
and rain all night. La the meantime
they stole the little money he had in his
pocket-book and all his clothes. 1t
was very funny, to be sure, and as the
perpetrators had SO much enjoyment
from the affair, they will surely not be
so unreasonable as to object if the
courts enter heartily into the spirit Of
the joke and send them all to jail for a
few months.

THE LATrsr TRruMpm OF TEMPERANCE.

The LATEST TRIUMPH OF TEMPERANCE.
We congratulate the temperance
world On the success everywhere attend
ing the use of VINEGAR BIrTERs. Ger
tainly no preparation containing alcohol
has accomplished such cures of mala-
rious fever, biliousness, dyspepsia, rheu-
matism, lung complaints, constipation,
and general debility, as we hear OF
from all quarters as the results of this
famous vegetable specific. No true
philanthropist will regret to see spiritu-
GUS liquors expelled from medical use,
if they can be safely dispensed with /;
and that they are not necessary in any
case of sickness, whatever its character,
appears at last to have been demon
strated. If public opinion is capable OF
making any Impression upon the minds
of the Faculty, they will ere long intro
duce the most popular of modern medi-
cines into the hospitals, and prescribe
it in their practice. The millions have
given the article fair trial it has
more than answered their expectations,
and no theoretical opposition can shake
their faith in it. IL

Sagacity OF a Horse.

A very striking incident occurred out
on the Nashville and Northwestern road
the other day, which went to illustrate
the sagacity and the sympathy one horse
had for another i'll distress. AS the
train came up he ran off at high rate
of speed. His companion, however,
which seemed to be blind, ran around in
a circle, not knowing what to do. The
first horse, looking back and observing
his dilemma, returned as rapidly as he
went away, touched the blind animal on
the nose, and then ran away again, the
latter following closely in his wake.

THANKSGIVING.

A PROCLAMATION.

Annual Proclamation Of the President.
BY the President of the United States
of America
A PROCLAMATION.
The approaching close of another
year brings with it the occasion for re-
newed Thanksgiving and acknowledge
ment to the Almighty Ruler of the
Universe for the unnumbered mercies
which he has bestowed upon us. Abund-
ant harvests have been among the re-
wards of industry. With local excep-
tions, health has been among the bless
ings enjoyed. Tranquility at home
and peace with other nations have pre-
vailed. Frugal industry is regaining
its meriteh recognition, and its merited
rewards. Gradually, but under the
providence of God, surely as We
trust, the nation is recovering
from the lingering results of dreadful
civil strife. For these and all the
other mercies vouchsafed, it becomes
us as people to return heartfelt and
grateful acknowledgements, and with
our thanksgiving we may unite prayers
for the cessation of local and temporary
suffering. Ithereforerecommend that on
Thursday, the 9th day of November
next, the people meet in their respective
places of worship to make their acknowl-
edgenents to Almighty God for his
bounties and his protection, and to
offerto him prayers for their continuance
In witness whereof L have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington this
4th day of October, in the year of our
Lord 1873, and of the independence of
the United States the ninety-seventh.

Corruption and Impudence.

rascal that had secured his election to the
high position of United States senator by
bribery, has declared himself candidate fol
the place made vacant by the resignation OF
his colleague in Office and in villainy-CALD
wELL-who resigned to escape expulsion
There never was case of like impudcnce.
PoMERoY's term expired with the Et>'
Congress. and it was at the time of the cleo
ton of his successor in the last winters
session of the Kansas Legislature that he
was so dsastrotlsly exposed. His coming
forward now as a candidate to succeed CALp

sense of shame himself he certainly i'll his

having some sort of aversion for dcpravlty.
But PoMERoY is, besides being shameless,

place of the load of offence just removed
from the Senate by CALDWELL 5 resignation,
he would tumble down another and worse
one in himself. He pres,lmcs upon the

We look upon PoAEROY' impudcnce,
however, as in Il measure Illustrative Of the
age and times. Thirty years ago PoMERoY.
after the exposure he has undergone, would
no more have offered to become senator or
