On Monday, the 5lst ult., the
Supreme court of the United States
rendered decision which is destined
80 have great weight IN all lower
courts, and may affect Iowa county
If she again appears IN railroad bond
cults. The decision in question was
rendered On appeal from the u S.
District court IN the case Of Alcott
vs.. she Supervisors Of Fond du Lac
county. The suit was first brought
before the Supreme Court of Wis
consin, which court ruled that the
county orders, for the payment of
which the supervisors were sued,
were void. on the ground that, the
building Of railroad, owned and
operated by pirate corporation, was
not matter Of public interest, and
no tax can be levied for pirate pu'
poses. This decision Of the state
court was held by the Federal Dis
trict court to be binding upon the
latter. This decision the Z. S. Su-
preme Court reverses. In the opin-
on of the highest court of the La
tion, railroads are public highways,
mo matter whether they are built
land operated by the State or cor.
operations. The building Of railroads
sis, therefore, matter Of public con
'cern, 20 aid which it is just as law.
"ful to levy taxes as for the building
"of a wagon road or any other public
work, and the collection of these
stakes cannot be resisted by authori-
atty of Article V, of Amendments to
"the Constitution of the United
Estates, which provides that private
property shall not be taken for
public use without just compensa-
''tion"
This decision while it settles the
question of the legality of tax levies
for building railroads, also, it seems
TO us, sets at rest all doubts as to
the power of legislatures to regu-
late the management of railroads.
If the building of railroads i. a mat,
ter of public concern, and the levy
Of taxes for the building thereof is
just as lawful as for the building Of
wagon roads, or other public works,
it is certainly logical to conclude
that these matters of public con.
Germ" must be subject to public
control, the same as wagon roads
and other public works.

The swimming collar. new invention,
is a very thin aud light India rubber
circular, cylindrical inflated tube, which
is placed around the neck by being
drawn over the head before initiation /;
or, in those in use for women. tied
around the neck. II is then inflated
through a small tube long enough TO
reach the mouth. As, however, the India
rubber cylinder would not OF itself be
strong enough 20 bear rough usage, II is
enclosed in an outer cover or case OF
elastic cotton, similar in texture TO
cotton stocking, which outer cover, be.
ing smaller than the inner tube, is
tightly filed before the latter is so, and
thus receives all tho strain from any
outward pressure or blow. This is the
same principle as that on which the
American inflated tabular boat was con.
structed, which some time since crossed
the Atlantic from New York to South
ampton. The buoyancy OF the collar,
which will float an iron weight Of eight
pounds, will raise persons head quite
out OF the water. and float him with his
mouth about four or FIVE inches above
its surface. The actual weight of the
collar is less than two ounces.

The Embarrassments of = Yeung
Man who Advertised for wife.
From the San Francisco Bulletin.l
Henry Harold Brookes is the name Of
a soft young man who, 10 May last, adver'
tised in Que OF the San Francisco papers
for wife. Among the hundreds Of let
ters received in reply was one purport'
ing to come from gushing young dam
sci Of eighteen, resident at Santa Clara.
After quite n lengthy correspondence
aud the exchange Of photographs, the
young lady (?) applied for pecuniAry as
sistance, and the simpleton sent at
various times sums amounting 10 over
5000. He desired TO meet his lair cor
respondent but she put him of on
various excuses-opposition OF parents,
fear OF discovery. etc, until finally he
went to Santa Clara and made inquiries
at the postollice.for Miss Rosamond Der
went, that being the name given by the
writer OF the letters. OF course he did
not succeed in finding her, although he
exhibited her picture around town and
made careful inquiries. He soon after
received letter from San Jose, from
his correspondent, she still protesting
affection and desire to marry him, but
telling him her cruel father forced her
to leave Santa Clara and intimating
that she had been well whipped for her
indiscretion. She begged him not to
try to see her, and not u send any more
money until she asked for it, when 1t
must be sent Just as she directed Some
time in July Brookes received letter
asking the return Of letters and likeness,
Miss "Rosamond having concluded to
20 TO the Sandwich Islands in com
pany with a rich uncle, or an uncle who
wanted to get rich by going there. In
this letter she admits giving him an as
sumed name, supposing, Of course, that
be had done the same. This eplstle
took Broskes at once to Santa Clara on
a second search for fair Rosamond."
He ascertained that the picture was that
of Miss - -, who some time since
attended the State Normal School at
San Jose, but there is no suspicion that
this young woman knows anything OF the
Brookes now has de-
tectives on the track Of those who have
deceived him, and it is probable that
several smart young men will find that
it is dangerous business to carry on a
correspondence under an assumed
name, and accept money from their
dupe. Fun is all very well, but when
swindling is added to it the law has u
chance to come in and make some one
suffer. Recently, in order to brighten
Brookes, letters have been sent to him
containing pictures of collins, skull and
and diabolical threats.
