predecessors under which it claims. All

other securities subject to this paramount
condition, and of which they in law had
notice. : II the corporation, by making con-

INTER STATIC eCoMMERCE.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
z. The act OF 1lth of March, 1874, while
not interfering with rates of freight or
property transported entirely through the
state to and from other states, includes within
its terms property and persons transported on
railroads from other states into Wiscon"
sin, and from Wisconsin into other states.
This act either establishes or authorizes the
commissioners to establish fixed rates Of
freight and fare on such persons and proper~
ty. The case of the state freight tax,
reported in Is Wallace .232, decides that the
between the several states, and the regulation
thereof belongs exclusively to Congress. 1t
becomes, therefore, g gravequestion whether
it is competent for q stae arbitrarily TO fix
and property Of this Interstate commerce
AS the right to lower rates implies also the
right to raise them there may be serious doubts
whether this car be done. This point was not
fully argued by the counsel and scarcely BY the
counsel of the defendants, aud under the circum
stances we do not at present feel warranted on
this ground alone to order the issue of an irjunc
ton. II desired by the plaintiffs, it may be furth
er considered at future time, either on demurrer
to the bin or in such otter form may fairly pre-
sent the question to consideration. The
motion for Injunction is overued.
a SUGGESTION FROM IU8GBDAYIs.
When Judge Drumm ond concluded, Judge
Davis spoke as follows:
In view Of the decision just rendered, we trust
( it will not be considered out OF the line OF our
duty to make suggestion concerning this liuga
ton to the counsel for the Defendants.
tits manifest that the questions involved are
grave o1es, and that the courts oflast resort VIII
ultimately have to pass on them. 1t is equally
manifest that a speedy decision, in which all par
ties are vitality interested, can not be obtained
unless there is harmony Of action On the part o.
both the complain ants and defendants In the
meantime, while this litigation is in progress
would it not be better for The defe ndans, as fan
as lies in their power, to have prosecutions 10
penalties suspended. These prosecutions are
not required to settle rights. Iney arc attended
with great expense, and, if enforced, while an
effort is making in good faith to test the validity
of this legislation must cause serious irritation,
and cannot be, as it seems to us, productive o.

THE DANGRR OF WET CoAL.-The
London Medical Record says people who
prefer wetting the winters store Of coal
to lay the dust on putting it into their
cellars, do not generally know that they
are laying up for themselves store of
sore threats and other evils consequent
upon the practice. But so it Is said to be.
Even the FIRE damp which escapes from
coal mines arises from the slow decompo-
sition Of coal at temperatures but little
above that of the atmosphere, but under
augmented pressure By wetting mass
OF freshly broken coal and putting it In a
warm cellar, the mass is heated to such
degree that carbureted and sulphurated
hydrogen are given of for long periods
OF time and peryade the whole house.
The liability Of wet coal to mischieEous
results under such circumstances may be
appreciated from the circumstances that
there are several instances Of sponstan-
eous combustion Of wet coal when slowed
into the bunkers or holds Of vessels
And from this cause, doubtless. man,
missing coal vessels have persisted.

MIR. BEECaER ON THE CRIME.

A resident Of Minneapolis picked up an old
scrap book created in his hours OF bOysh leisure
fifteen or twenty years ago, and found therein
sermon on 1.-THE Seducer and His Victim, +" which
was delivered by Henry Ward Beecher in Brook
lyn in the year 1856. The Minneapolis gentleman
copied the sermon and sent 1T to the ST. Paul
Pioneer. We extract the following significant in
dictment OF the seducer:-

passions he betrays innocence. Aow3 BY It's

intention OF honor. 1t was sheer, premeditated
wholesale ruin from beginning to end. The ac-
cursed sOrcerer opens the door OF the world to
push her forth. She looks out all shuddering; Tor
there Is shame, and sharp-toothed hatred and
chattering SANDER, and malignant envy, and tr
umphing jealousy, ana mnrderous revenge

there Is for her want aud poverty and

All this the trembling, betrayed creature sees
through the open door or the future, and, with
voice that might move the dead, she turns and
clasps his knees IN awful agony, "Leave me not !!
