Il he Cash Value Of a Child.

Some two years ago little child
? or years old strayed on the
track of the Chicago and Rock Is
land Railroad, near Davenport, and
was killed by passing train. The
father brought suit for damages
against the company. The case has
been in litigation ever since, and in
wolves an important principle of
law.
The claimant attempted to prove
the probable duration OF the life of
child of that age from the tables
OF life Insurance actuaries. The
court Of original jurisdiction re-
fused to admit testimony on that
point. GA 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 proba-
bic loss to the father of the child's
services during minority. The sum
assessed was $3.50. Upon the sec
ond trial the jury took into occount
the loss which the estate of the
child had suffered from its death,
this estate commencing at y years
and continuing for the probable du-
ration 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 in was
$4,000. This makes the entire dam
age $500, that being the valuation
put by an Iowa jury, from a strictly
monetary point Of view, upon a
child : years Of age, over and above
the cost OF support. Illinois statu-
tory law places the value of a per-
son killed by rail at S., 900, irrespec-
tive 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 author
ity in the country to the question.

THE Berlin order to the district
authorities Of the Empire, to expel
ell emigration agents who are domi-
c1led within their jurisdiction, be-
trays how severely the evils of the
constantly increasing human drain
are making themselves felt. Never
before has Germany been so extern
slvely canvaSsed for e1ni9rants as at
present, and it Is no wonder that
the government should have taken
the alarm. There is now hardly a
country in the civilized world whose
doors are not held wide open to
welcome its Industrious, sober, and
frugal people. From every part Of
the globe arms are stretched out to
receive them-eyerywhere they are
regarded as valuable acquisitions.
The Autocrat Of all the Russias
makes them tempting offers to set
tie in Poland OF the Crimea. Eng
land wants them to people her North
American and Australian dependen-
cies; and America beckons to them,
pointing to the boundless prairies Of
the West and the provisions Of the
homestead law. Even the South
American States, especially Brazil
and Peru, have lately appeared as
eager competitors for German labor
and industry. They point out to
them the wonders of these sunny
lands, and have actually begun to
direct q portion of the emigration
current their way.

THE evidence of treason on the
part of Marshal Bazaine strength

1t now looks as if the charges

is probably found in his devotion to

THE farce of trying Stokes to see
whether be shot James Fisk is en-
acting for the third time. We call
it farce because every intelligent
man knows, if common report can
be trusted for anything, that Fisk
was killed in cold blood by Stokes
that he not only shot him, but did
SO without any immediate provoca-
ton; and that had he been without
rich and influential friends he would
long ago have been rotting in a
fclOn's grave, victim Of the halter.

dOus farce5 are almost daily enacted
III the name Of justice. Mad some
vagabond waylaid the Prince Of
Erie and shot him to obtain his val
let or his watch, or even out of re-
venge for some personal affront or
injury, the machinery of justice
would have made short work of the
murderer. But this murderer,
though prohigate, wore good clothes,
and was gentleman Of elegant
leisure, therefore the city Of New
York must stand the expense of
three long trials to determine
whether this prohigate but elegant
young man has committed any
crime Meanwhile the starving
wretches who steal bread or q few
dollars on which to subsist are
promptly punished 1t is q conso-
lation to know that Gods justice is
