denial Of Justice to have remitted the parties 10
the home forum. In this case. the circumstances
are entirely different; Wong Sow is 10 comforta-
bic circumstances on board, and the voyage TO
Costa Rica is few weeks and all the witnesses
which would be required here. he will have there.
therefore, my belief is. that the courts Of all
countries would decline to exercise jurisdiction 10
such case unless it should be proved that the

Of countries on friendly relations with Us, as well
as letting loose upon our shores a large number
OF people who may occasion serious trouble.
The home forum is the proper tribunal for foreign
ers TO litgate their cases, and for foreign Court
to interfere when in a few days the parties can
have that advantage is not IN conformity with
the usages Of nations. II is better and wiser to
let foreigners stand by their agreements and set
tie them under their own laws and By their own
tribunals. The law will not aid a min in the VIC

The Court is not invoked to aid 10 enforcing

case may require.
AT the hearing, two of the parties ex-
pressed desire to return to the steamer.
and they did so, aud the case of Wong
Sow only is presented.
1t appears that Wong Sow entered into
a contract in Macao, China, with the
Agent of certain parties residing in Costa
RIGA, Central America, to embark on some
ship to be furnished by them to proceed
to Punta Arenas, Costa Rica, and there
perform service in the fields or in the
household, for the period of eight years
for agreed wages, and certain advances in
clothes and money and passage to Costa
Rica, at the expense of the contractors
II appears by the contract, that it was
made in the presence of certain officials of
the Colony of Macao, one of whom was
the Superintendent of Emigration, and
duly attested by the Italian Consul. 1t is
admitted that the contract is reasonable
in its terms, and it is not denied that it
was fully understood. Having received
eight dollars in advance, and a suitable
amount of clothes, he embarked on board
the steamer for Costa RIGA. There were
some six hundred persons who embarked
on the same steamer, under similar con-
tracts. The steamer put into this port for
provisions, water, and whatever was nee
essary for refreshment. She remained
here several days, and on the eve of her
departure the petitioner made application
for writ of habeas corpus, alleging i'll
treatment, and the same was issued. 1t
appears that be did not make an applica-
ton to go on shore, and if he had, it is
admitted that he could not have been per-
mitted to have gone, SIS the steamer was
soon to leave port.
l understand it to be admitted by the
Counsel for the petitioner that the con-
tract was legal and proper in its terms,
and that the steamer furnished suitable
accommodations, and that there was no
evidence of ill-treatment, but he contends
that the petitioner had a right, as pas
senger, to come on shore when the vessel
arrived at the wharf for any purpose he
might think fit, and that the restraint put
upon him was unlawful.
1t is matter in which two friendly ma
tons are interested. The ship is charter
ed at great expense, and large advances
in the aggregate are made, not only to the
men, but for provisions and supplies for
the voyage. 1t is apparent from the evil
dence that there was no dissatisfaction on
board, and that Wong Sow was induced

Court gave Judgment to a British sailor,
who had deserted his ship, for wages on

in that case said, ait is consonant to ma

WIDEMANN, j.:
Wong Sow comes before the Court in
this case with the allegation that he is IL
legally deprived of his liberty by being
detained on board the Italian steamer
Glensannox
The Captain of the steamer admits the
detention, but claims that he has the right
to detain the said Wong Sow under a
written contract of service, made in Ma
Gao, to be executed in Costa RIGA, which
Wong Sow admits he had executed.
The language of our Habeas Corpus
Act, in Sections and 4, is peremptory,
and it was obligatory upon the Jud ge to
whom the petition was addressed, to issue
the writ.
Sec 81 of this Act provides: off no
legal cause for the Imprisonment or re-
straint shall be shown, the party shall be
Immediately discharged therefrom."
Is this contract then legal cause for
this detention
Our laws do not give the subjects of
this country any such rights to restrain
their servants under similar circumstances,
and foreigner cannot claim rights that
do not inure to the subjects.
/ hold that the detention of Wong Sow
was illegal, and that he should have been
Immediately discharged therefrom.

Why PRICES ARE HIGH-Mr. Ruskin,
in a recent paper, says: "The weekly
bills are double, because the greater part
of the labor of the people of England is
spent unproductively; that is to say. in
producing iron plates, iron guns, gun.
powder. Internal machines, internal fort
resses floating about, internal fortresses
standing still, internal means of mischiev-
Gus locomotion, Internal lawsuits, internal
parliamentary elections. internal beer, and
internal gazettes, magazines, statues, and
pictures. Calculate the labor spent in
producing the internal articles annually,
and put against it the labor spent in pro-
ducing food The only wonder is, tha.
the weekly bills are not tenfold instead of
double. For the poor housewife, mind
you. cannot feed her children with any one,
or any quantity, Of these Internal articles.
Children can only be fed with divine arti-
cles. Their mother can, indeed, get to
London cheap, but she has no business
there; she can buy all the mornings news
for halfpenny, but she has no concern
with them; she can see Gustave Dore's
picture land she had better see the deviD
for a shilling; she can be carried through
any quantity Of filthy streets on tramway
for threepence but it is as much as her
life is worth to walk in them, or as her
modesty is worth to look into print shop
in them. Nay. let her have but to go on
foot qnarter of mile in the West Ell,
she dares not take her purse in her poclet
nor her little dog follow her. These are
privileges and facilities in the capital of
civilization. But none Of these will bring
meat or -four into her own village. Far
the contrary! The sheep and corn which
the fields of her village produce are carried
away from it to feed the makers Of Arm
strong guns. And her weekly bills are

OLD AGE.-An old man is like an old
wagon; with light loading and careful
usage it will last for years; but one heavy
load or sudden strain will break it and
ruin it forever. So, many people reach the
age of fifty, or sixty. or even seventy,
measurably free from most Of the pains
and in6rmities of age. CHEEKY in heart and
sound in health, ripe in wisdom and exper-
ience, with sympathies mellowed oy age.
and with reasonable prospects and oppor-
tuuities for continued usefulness in the
world for considerable time. Let such
persons be thankful, but let them also be
careful. An old constitution is like an
old bone-broken with ease, mended with
difficulty. A young tree bends to the
gale, an old one snaps and falls before
the blast. A single hard lift, an hour of
heating work, an evening exposure to rain
or damp, severe chill, an excess of food,
the unusual indulgence of an appetite or
passion. sudden fit of anger, an improper
dose of medicine, any of these, or other
similar things, may cut off valuable life
in an hour, and leave the fair hopes OF
usefulness and enjoyment but shapeless
wreck.

DANBURY NEWS BAILEY IN CHICAGO.
j. NJ. BAILEY, the humorist of the
Danbury Ne,cs, is on his way to Cali
fornia, where he will spend few weeks.
While in Chicago he called at the news
paper Offices. The Evening Post descri-
bes him as follows:
During the morning he dropped in upon
the Post and chatted very pleasantly for
half an hour or so. He is a neat fellow,
of medium height and compact build.
His full head full is used both 6gurative-
ly and literally is adorned by a pro-
fusion of black locks that loaf round bis
temples, linger lovingly in the neighbor-
hood OF his ears, and indicate an inten-
ton to curl when the time comes. He is
the proprietor in fee simple of a very cred
table hirsute addition to the original up
per lip; his eyes look out pleasantly from
under broad brow, and his features, all
in all, are very reassuring in their effects.
His bearing is manly and modest. He
disregards the conventionality of neck
tie, but wears a cellar and shirt front
which certify the ability of his laundress.
His dark clothes SAVIOR bit of the coun.
try sanctum, aud his halfconsumed cigar
is not held with the dainty grace of met
ropolitan tobacco annihilator. But you
talk to him at once, and swear that he is
full of fun. The assertion is made in the
full knowledge of the fact, foF Mr.. Biiiey
IS to-day the most original humorist known
~ America. He has come before the
public gaze because his merit brought him
there. His funny things are all better for
his modesty, for while we laugh at the hu-
NOR we respect the humorist.
And who is this Bailey does the gen
tie reader ask Why, Bailey is the DAN
bury Neus; and if the gentle reader has
never read an extract from the DIubury
News, which he remembers as having sur
prlsed him into concatenation of cachin-
alton, he should quit current literature
and amuse himself with the illuminated
tones Of the middle ages.
Bailey received compliments good hu-
moredly, and spoke unafectedly of the
Neacs and Danbury-the former has at
tanned a circulation of about 5000 a
large number for country weekly, the
latter has 5000 inhabitants, some elm
trees with shade to then, and is rich in
recollections of the revolution.
During your fire." said Mr.. Bliley,
&" started a daily. Your blaze helped
us amazingly, but it went out and we
went down."

For the Freeman.
Ode for Decoration Day.

We have been with martial tread
To the couches of the dead,
Where our fallen heroes lie;
To the couches of the dead
Shalt it though tlessly be said?
Do our hsross ever die?
We have placed upon their mound,
Mid the dirge's solemn sound,
Emblems fragrant, fresh ani bright.
We have owned their martyr life,
Their selfsacrifce in strife,
Yielding all to save the right
Fitting service this to do
For the noble and. the true,
Thus to keep their memory fair,
IT'S but interest on debt,
We should gladly ne'er forget,
F or the peace theu bought we share.
But is this the only way,
On the decoration day
Worthy tribute to lay down?
Do the evergreen and flowers
And these consecrated hours
Our whole course of duty crown?
Something more our martyrs claim,
In the country's sacred name,
Than mere pageant to their praise
Fen that holy deeds be done
By every loyal son,
Thus the nations worth to raise.
They for principles did give
All twas worth for them to live,
Still the principles remain
On each new demand for strife,
They entreat that with our life
We their precious cause maintain.
Their voice from death sounds clear,
And who will may surely hear
"Be ye true to truth for aye
For fair freedom, goodness, peace
For the peoples real increase
In all justice, purity.
Lift ye wisdom's banner high
On each passing breeze 10 fly;
Have it catch light from above,
Give to piety place
Where twill suffer no disgrace,
Held in everlasting love-"
Patriots, heed their strong appeal;
Guard ye well our common veal;
Pledge your powers to keep their trust;
SOyou'll please the nations Col;
And you'll best adorn the sol
That now covers patriots dust.
