The Frico of a Life.

The Marshall Times gives the
particulars of suit for damages,
|ust decided against the Chicago q
Northwestern Railroad Co., in the
Supreme Court Of the United States,
which is interesting as being the
largest award of damages on record
against responsible company for
he loss Of single lite-nearly
bll, 700.
The suit was brought by the ad-
|ninistrator Of JAS. X. Burch, who
was killed by y collision on the
Northwestern road, some miles west
Of Boonsboro, in August, 1870. 1t
was commenced the same fall, and
tried at Des Moines by U. S. Judges
Love and Dillon, and a jury. The
prosecution established the fact
that the accident was due to the
grossest negligence Of the railroad
company. The overworked engi-
|aeer testified on the stand that he
ran his train at the rate of twenty
miles an hour through the town of
|Glidden, past the switches, eleva-
tors and other buildings without
Noticing or knowing he was at the
spot where he should have switched
out Of the way for coming freight
train; that he entirely forgot the
freight train till he saw the smoke
stack of its locomotive emerging
from the fog but few rods in adj
vance. He jumped for his life, but
Mr.. Burch was crushed and scalded
TO death in the forward car of the
train. The verdict of the curry was
against the railroad company. The
latter then appealed to the Supreme
Court of the United States. After
resting in that court for eighteen
months it was finally reached few
days ago. The Supreme Court, not
only affirmed the previous decision
and taxed the usual interest and
costs against the railroad company,
but also imposed an additional pen
atty of over one thousand dollars,
for the delay and the frivolity of
bringing the cause by appeal to that
court. The result is gratifying as
showing that the courts will do JUS
tice, even against the power and in
fuence of great and overshadow-
ing moneyed monopoly.

An Editor Breaking his Leg for an
Item.

Brother Warren, of the Upper
Des Moines, broke his leg the other
day, and set and dressed it himself.
He says: Gin acting the part of
surgeon in setting5and dressing our
broken leg we meant no discourtesy
to the profession. We understood
the mechanical structure Of the in
.iured limb-knew the extent of the
injury and knew what was required
to put it right. Knowing all this
and having the nerve to perform the
operation, we chose to do so. We
never had physician or surgeon on
any occasion, and have ever felt an
indescrible horror of having one to
attend us. We therefore extend to
the medical profession Il hearty " ell
come wien they visit us in the ca
pacity of men and brethren though
not in need of their professional
skill" An editor is expected to
furnish the news when there are no
news to be found, and country ed
TORS often find it difficult task to
procure local items to fill their pa
pers. No longer will they have to
labor under this difficulty. An
editor has devised ways and means
by which every editor in the land
en- furnish news for his paper, by
simply breaking one of his own
limbs. There is no doubt that this
plan will come into general use!
Anything for an item!

GENERAL BUFFERS INDEMNITY
1t is stated that General Butler,
who recently maneuvred the salary
business in the House, has calculat-
ed the individual loss to each per.
son of the population resulting from
the amount just taken out Of the
Treasury for back pay to members
of Congress and he finds it amounts
to three cents apiece. This sum he
encloses to an indignant constituent
to indemnify him for his share in
such loss. This may be all very
witty in the General, but does it
really place him in any more envia-
bic light? The language of such a
performance is simply this: A man
takes the money belonging to sever
al persons and makes off with it.
After getting at safe distance, he
turns around and holds parley with
his victims thus: Now, l have got
your money, and / advise You not
to make any fuss about it; but if
there are any of you so stupid as to
make 4 fuss, l will calculate his
share Of the aggregate and return
it; that which belongs to those of
you who make no fuss l intend to
keep myself. And this is the atti-
tude Of one Of the American legisla-
tors of the nineteenth century
Washington Republic.

Terrible Calamity.

a dispatch from Halifax conveys
the startling intelligence of the loss
on the morning Of the 1st INST, of
the steamship Atlantic, of the White
Star line, from Liverpool March 20,
for New York, with 1000 souls on
board, only 43o of whom were saw
ed. The steamer running short of
coal made for Halifax, and when
about twenty miles from that port
ran upon Meagher's Head, and sank
before her boats could be launched.
Those Of the crew and passengers
not carried down with the ship first
took to the rigging, which was
above the water, but afterward land
ed on the rock, from which they
were rescued by fishing boats from
the shore. All the women and
children were lost, most OF them in
their berths, the disaster occurring
ut two o'clock in the morning.

The Chicago Inter Ocean cele-
brated the first anniversary Of its
birth last week. The growth in
prosperity and influence Of this jour
nal during its brief existence Of one
year, has in it something bewilder-
ing and wonderful. Almost at one
bound it has taken the foremost
place among the papers of the
Northwest, place to which its de-
votion to correct principles and its
fearless attitude of hostility TO pow
erful and oppressive monopolies
we'll entitle it.
