The Price Of a Life.

In August. 1870, some miles west Of
Boonsboro, James X. Burch was killed
upon the Chicago 4 Northwestern
railway by q collision Of trains.
The railroad company made no pro-
vision for the maintenance Of the wife,
who was in very limited circum-
stances, and the administrator of the
estate brought suit for damages. The
action was commenced in the fall Of
1870; and has been closely and fear
lessly carried on by both parties
through the courts both at Des Moines
and Washington, in the Supreme
Court, where final decision was rem.
dered, which is believed to be the
largest verdict on record against
responsible company for the price Of .
life-nearly eleven thousand dollars.
Judge Love and Dillon at Des
Moines and II jurors first decided the
case. The railroad company appealed
to the nine Supreme Judges 1t Wash
ington. and they, after due considers
tion of the case, lit being In that court
for eighteen months before il could b
reached, )have not only affirmed the
decision of the court below, but have
additionally taxed the railroad com.
pany over thousand dollars besides
usual interest and costs, for the delay
and frivolity In bringing the cass, BY
appeal 70 that court.

Howa ouAksrsss stopped Borrow.

The subject Of borrowing and lana.
Ing came up In the course oi . conver.
sation with subscriber living n..,
Ithica, when he suddenly recol,ected
funny "Reminiscences of that character
which had happened In his own
neighborhood. He said hs had .
neighbor whose family were grca: boz
rowers but not go distinguished q
psymasters-thsy wers always bor-
rowing, but seldom, II ever, returning
the exact amount borrowed. An old
Quaker lady, another neighbor. who
nad endured these invasions for long
time patiently, hit upon . very philo-
sophical mode Of eventually putting q
stop to the nuisance. Keeping her
own counsel, the next time her rood
man went to town, ne had separate
and express order to purchase pound
OF tea aud new canister to put 1t In:
as he knew she already had plenty OF
tea aud also . canister. he was pug
z'ed to know what the old lady want.
ed OF more tea and . new canister, but
MS questions aud reasonings ELECTED
nothing more than repetition OF the
order.
'Jim, did not tell thee to get me I
pound Of the best tea aud new cauis.
ter? Now 90 along, and do a. I bid
thee"
And go along he did, and when he
came home at night the tea and new
canister were his companions. The old
lady took them from him with an
amused expression on her usua, placid
features, and depositing the tea in the
canister set 1t on shelf for . special
use. 1t had not long to walt, for the
borrowing neighbor had frequent use
for the aromatic herb. fhe good old
lady loaned generously, empty ing back
In the canister any remittance Of bof-
rowed teas which the neighbours CON-
science inclined her to make. Time
went on, and after something less than
the one hundredth time Of borrowing,
the neighbor again appeared for Just
another drawing of tea,n when the
tea. canister was brought
out and found to be empty. aud tho
good old lady aud obliging neighbor
was just one pound OF tea poorer than
when she bought the new canister.
which now only remained to tell the
story. Then she made little charac-
acteristic speech perhaps the first In
her life; she said: Thou seest that
empty canister. I filled it for thee
with q pound OF my best tea, and I
have lent all to thee In driblets, and
put into it all thou has sent me in re-
turn, and none but thyself hath taken
or added unto it, and now
thou seest 1t empty; therefore / will
say to thee, thou hast borrowed thy
self out. aud can lend thee no nore."

A Sad Story.

To day there is q man going about
the streets Of this city, ragged, dirty
aud penniless, subsisting on free
lunches, and the charities of gam blers,
and has not slept in bed for months.
who, during the war, was one OF the
most dashing cavalry officers In the
Union army. and Was promoted from
the rank of First Lieutenant to full
Brigadier and Brevet Msjor-G General,
for brilliant exploits on the field of
battle, and who for long time had
large and important command.
He has been here for two months,
under an assumed name. being
ashamed to dim the brilliancy OF his
record In the service Of his country by
an exhibition Of his degradation under
his former name. He ia generally
very reticent, having little to do with
any one or talking but little, save
when engineering" for drink, at
which he is remarkably successful.
Night before last, while lying help
lessly drunk In the rear part Of Third
street saloon, some men thought to
play joke on him by stealing his
shirt, and proceeded to strip him.
Underneath his shirt. and suspended
by string around his neck, was .
small canvas bag, which the men
opened and found 1t to contain his
commission as Brevet Major-General,
two congratulatory letters, one from
Grant and one from President Lincoln,
a photograph Of little girl and curl
OF hair-a Chestnut shadow" that
doubtless one day crept over the brow
Of some loved one.
When these things were discovered,
even the half-drunken men who found
them felt respect for the mans for
mer greatness, and pity for his fallen
and quietly returned the
bag and contents to where they found
them, and replaced the 4leeper's
clothes upon him. Yesterday q News.
reporter tried to interview the man
and endeavor to learn something of
his life in the past few years. but he
declined to communicate anything.
He cried like child when told how
his right name and former position
were ascertained, and, with tears
frickling down his cheeks, said:
!" For Gods sake, sir, don't publish my
degradation, or my my name ut least,
Il you are determined to say some-
hing about it. 1t is enough that
know myself how low have become.

The Democracy ana Granger,

The Democracy in the eastern part
of Pennsylvania are busily employed
in organizing oranges of the Pa
irons of Husbandry, the plank in the
wilkesbarre platform having been
placed there toad the movement The
organization seems to be confined al
most exclusively to Berks county,
from which il is inferred that the
Democracy are not counting their
Republican converts by scores. The
pretentions of the Democratic party
to be anti.monopolists are disposed
Of by W. NJ. Grosvernor, Esq, of st.

Neither is the Democratic party
hostile to monopolies of banking OF
transportation. The Chairman OF
its National Committee, Augustus
Schell, is identified with the Wander.
bilt railroad interest and with banks
TIE Democratic organization II
Pennsylvania and Ohio belongs to
Scott and the Pennsylvania Compa-
ny; in Maryland to Garrett and the
Baltimore and Ohio; in Virginia, to
Malone and his railroad Ring in
California, to the Central and Pacific
and the Bank of California. Tc
claim that such party is or ever can
be the representative of the anti-mo
nopoly force in this country is as i'm
pudent as it would be to expect
Fred. Douglass to lead and colored
voters to join q movement for the
restoration of slavery.
The farmers of Pennsylvania are
sensible men, and appreciate the fu
tile endeavors of the Democrats to
capture them under the guise of Pa
irons of Husbandry. Coalition with
the Democracy will redress no griev.
ances the farmers may have; nor
will any class of our people derive
any benefit from association witt
them.-Pdtsbrg Teiegroph.
