led states and Railroad Sab
ScripIiOns.
The Supreme Court of the United
States has made most important decis-
ion in the case of OLCOTT VS.. Fond Du
Lac County, in regard to the constitu-
tionality of an act of the Legislature OF
Wisconsin authorizing the county oil
Fond du Lac to vote a donation to a
railroad company to assist in building
said road. The county voted to make
the donation, and the Supreme Court
OF the United States sustained the dona-
ton. The opinion was delivered by
Mr.. Justice STRONG, and is very able
one, reviewing the whole question.
Tue Court says: whether the use of
railroads is a public or private one de.
ponds in no measure upon the question
who constructed it or owns it, 1t has
never been considered a matter of any
importance that the road was built by
the agency of private corporation. No
matter who is the agent the junction
performed is that OF the State. Though
the ownership is private the use ispublic.
So turnpikes, bridges, ferries and canals,
although made by individuals, under
public grants, or by companies, are re-
garded as pUbttci .jUI'is. The owners
may be private companies, but they
are compellable to permit the public to
use their works in the manner in which
such works can be used" We call es
pecial attention to what the Court fur
ther says:
"lf there be any purpose for which
taxation would seem to Re legitimate,
1t is the making and maintenance of
public highways. They have always
been Governmental affairs, and it has
ever boon recognized as one OF the most
important duties of the State to provide
and care for them."
We have ever conteuded that rail-
road would be profitable investment
even if tho stock should be worthless,
because the other advantages would far
more than compensate for the amount
paid for its construction, and as it is of
public benefit we contend that it should
beplid for by the public.
We maintain the same doctrine in re-
gard to turnpikes. We think all parts
OF the country should share in the ben
efts, and we will not advocate any
scheme which does not include the va
rious portions of the county. We are
under the impression that stock in
these railroads and turnpikes may be
made profitable to the county if they
should be. as they ought to be, cheaply
constructed and well managed.
Tho Supreme Court of the United
States has gone much farther than we
have. aud fortified by such high au-
thority, we feel safe in our position as a
legal question, and as to the justice and
wisdom of tive policy we have adyocaV-
cd there can be no doubt. IL railroads
ami turnpikes do not benefit the pub
lie, they should not be built; if they do
benefit the public, all should contribute
according to thoir property.

India Shavls.

OF late years the retail trade in cam
els hair or India shawls has assumed
such proportions that it is beginning to
be regarded as one of the most impor-
tant branches of the dry goods business.
There are not more than four importers
of these shawls in New York, and the
entire trade of the country in these ar
ticles is in their hands, the cost of the
goods putting it beyond the power of
country dealers to carry an assorted
stock. The prices of shawls range from
800 to $1,000, and, therefore, to keep
large assortn ents, and to hold stocks of
varied patterns and different make, re-
quires the investment of large sums,
which only the mammoth houses of this
city can afford to make. The force of
this statement will be admitted when it
is known that the present stock of the
Broadway establishment is estimated at
S600,OO0. India shawls are named
Decca, Delhi, Bombay, Calcutta, Um-
ritter, etc., after the districts In which
they are made.
The labor, however, is what chiefly
determines the value of the shawl, even
when the texture is not the finest The
retail trade begins with the coming of
autumn and lasts until late In the win
ter. 1t would be interesting to know
how much money is expended in one
season in the purchase of these goods !;
but as the dealers are always unwilling
to make statement of their business it
is impossible to arrive at the fact with
any degree of accuracy. Some idea of
the magnitude of the trade may be

Death from a Wasp,s Sting.

An English laborer recently died from
the sting of wasp. The London Lam
Get says he was stung on the tongue, but
no sting or mark of sting could be
found. The patient was put to bed,
and lamentations as hot as he could
bear were applied to his throat. The
part where he complained of pain, and
where he said he had been stung, was
brushed with liquor ammonia diluted SO
as to be borne by the doctor without
much inconvenience when applied to
his own tongue. Pulse, sixty-four !;
respiration, thirty-four, not particularly
labored and not strikingly larygeal in
character. The patient seemed better
for the lamentations and application of
ammonia to his tongue, and expressed
the comfort he felt, when suddenly,
about half . minute after an application
of ammonia, he was seized with spasm
of the CLOTHS, his face became pale, with
drops of perspiration on the forehead,
and his arms were thrown out as if to
grasp for air (really to assist respiration
by means of the pectoral muscles). He
said, CT shall choke :" and got out of
bed and stood upright, but with no i'm
provement, for he sank on the bed
again, his face became livid, he ceased to
breathe, and his pulse stopped. Notwith-
standing that artificial respiration was
kept up and galvanism applied to the
cardiac region, the patient died just be-
fore the arrival of the senior medical
officer of the infirmaIy, having breathed
about four times after tracheotomy was
performed, and having been in the in
Urinary less than half an hour.

Chasing Your Hat.

The moaning winds of November, car
rylng sadness to our hearts and high
plug hats under country wagons, are
here. Lit behooves every man TO take
every care of his health, and hang OH
to his hat. But, as some will be apt to
neglect their hats in their anxiety for
their health, We have thought fit to give
the following advice for their recovery ::
When ron feel your hat lifting, immedi-
ately plunge your hands into your hair
and give it twist. This will attract the
attention of everybody to you, and make
You feel as if you were not quite alone
in the world Then, as soon as your
hair lifts from you eyes, and enables
you to see your hat Swimming along the
road, start for it. Don't trot after it,
but gallop, and while you gallop, smile
smile goes a good ways ON such an
occasion. 1t cuts off other smiles by
showing what an excellent joke chasing
a hat is, and that you like it. Don't
turn out of the way for other people.
Some OF those you meet may.not take
that interest in the affair a neighbor
should, and if you can knock them down
and step on them they will become thor.
ougbly engrossed in the subject at once
As soon as you see your hat stop imme-
diately slacken your gait you can renew
it again as soon as it starts up; and
when You get right opposite to it imme-
diately PROSTATE yourself upon it, and
then get up and go for it again. Never
fail to fall down upon it when you can,
as it gives the beholder better safisfac-
ton, and at the same time relieves the
chase of much of its monotony. Don't
forget your smile. This is one of the
most attractive features of the whole per-
Torrance, and should not be omitted ON
any consideration. The moment you
stop smiling, people viii think it is all
an accident, and, losing their tempers,
will commence to gibe you. When you
have the hat fairly within your reach,
give it a good kick, and then chase it
again, and when you are surfeited with
the amusement, jam it down on your
head without smoothing your hair, and
dart into the first store to warm yourself.
