THE LAW OF CATTLE RUNNING At
LARGE. IL

Considerable discussion has
been had among the farmers in
different parts of this County, up
on the question of cattle running
at large-some claiming that
a man was liable to pay the
costs of an officer or other per
son who took up such stock
whether they were at large with
or with the knowledge of the
owner. In other words, that he
must retain his cattle from run
ming, at large, and that exercis-
ing reasonable care to keep them
within the inclosure was no ex-
cuse for him. The Supreme
Court has just rendered a decis-
ion which sets this question at
rest and which we give below:
Marietta and Cincinnati Rail
road Company, as recognized, VS.
Stephenson and Brown. Error
to the Court of Common Pleas Of
jackson County. Reserved in
the District Court. T.
McILvANE, S.-Held:
1. Enclosures of railroads as
required by the act of March 25,
1859, Is. & G. 331) must be sep
arate and distinct from the in
closures of adjoining proprietors.
2. The obligation to construct
and maintain fences upon both
sides of railroads, imposed by
that act upon railroad companies
is net limited to owners and oc-
cupiers of adjoining lands, but
extends to the public generally.
3. The rule of the English
common law, which requires the
owners of domestic animals to re-
strain them from running atlarge,
has never been adopted or rec
ognized as the common law Of
the State. e.'f 'e-''7E
4. The owner of such animals
running at large is not guilty Of
a breach of any dutyimposed up
on him by the act of April 13,
1865. Is. & S. ~ if they be at
large without the omission on
his part of reasonable care.
5. Where cattle running at
large, without the fault of the
owner, enter the enclosed field
of another person; through which
railroad passes, and thence go
upon the track tof the road by
reason of the want of fences
which it was duty Of the rail
road company to have construct
ed so as to separate adjacent
lands, such owner is not guilty
under the act of April Z, 1865;
Is. & S. 373) of contributing, by
"a passing tram to his cattle
while upon the railroad, -.
Judgement affirmed.

NEW TELEGRAPH INSTRUMENT.

a Washington correspondent
of the journal Of Commerce give
an account of a wonderful tele-
graph instrument now undergo
ing experimental trial in the Of
flee OF the Signal Bureau. MIR.
Merritt Gally is the inventor, and
has taken out several patents
in Europe and in this country
for his new system. The appar-
atus used has been described as
a scientifically arranged system
of instrument circuits and switch
es.'; The object of the invention
is to enable a number of instru-
ments to be operated simultane-
ously on single wire in either
or both directions, and at differ
ent stations along the line with
out conflict; each instrument to
do as much work as the Morse,
OF other instruments in common
use. The instruments are adapt.
ed to any kind of receiver, either
sounder. or.dial, or chemical re-
corder, and each transmmitter is
adapted to the receiver. "The
operators transmitting the mes
sages may all be at one end OF
divided between the extremes OF
the line or at intermediate sta
tions sending different directions.
the number of operators employ
ed to be limited only by the ca
pacity ofrecorders receiving their
messages and any instrument
can be brought into requisition
at any part of the line when the
number employed does not equal
the limit of recording" These
are remarkable claims, and ifthe
instruments stand the tests to
which they will be subjected at
Washington, a revolution will be
made in telegraphy, but until
the tests have been made the ap-
parent extravaganza of the claims
will be received with reserve by
those who understand how many
promising inventions have led to
nothing but disappointment.

THE END OF THE WAR.

Mddle-aged and old people are more or
less afflicted with chronic disorders, the re-
suit of overwork, indiscretions, exposure to
the elements, or something else. Political
parties are similarly afflicted, especially par
Ties which have had a long lease of power.
They take severe colds, catch malignant fe.
vers have rheumatic attacks, paralysis, and
sometimes get broken leg, back or neck.
They are all mortal, inhale disease, grow old,
and pass away like everything else in this sad
world.
Political philosophers are now telling us
why the recent conservative reaction hap
pened and it is really amusing to hear that
it was the result of so many different causes.
In Massachusetts, they say it was the prohibl-
tory fever, and the Butler plague, that so
wrecked the Republican party. In New
York it was the third term ague, and the hard
times rheumatism, that rolled up an opposi-
ton majority of fifty thousand. In New Jer-
sew bad currency cough demoralized the
people, and not even apple-brandy could as
suage their sorrows. Down in Dixie it was
the civil rights pestilence that frightened the
white voters while out West it was imitation
gout, and paper money ague, that did most of
the mischief.
There is little doubt but local issues had
some influence in the elections, yet it will not
do to attribute the great revolt to them alone.
The people have been dissatisfied for long
time, but party sympathy induced them to
smother their discomfort and look to the fu-
ture for redress. They had become dissatis.
fed with the President on various issues vital
to the prosperity of the nation dissatisfied
with Congress in lcgislating for a party, and
not for the people; dissatisfied with curren-
cy which misrepresents the law of values, and
which, to a considerable extent, has paralyzed
our various branches of industry. The peo-
ple were also tired of bad leadership, exempli-
fed in Butler, illustrated by Congressional
back pay thefts and more vitality associated
with Credit Mobilier legislation and fraud.
Political parties in this country are short
lived, and possess no hereditary prerogatives.
They originate in issues connected with our
industry, with our progress, with our prosper
ity. And when these issues become obsolete,
parties 20 to decay, and are thrust aside by
the people. The Republican party has ex-
listed since 1857. 1t carried US successfully
through the Rebellion, and by it's war record
has chiefly maintained its authority and su'
premacy. 1t is not dead yet, perhaps not Sc
riously crippled but the blows are evidence
of fserious discomfort, evidence also Of intended
rebuke. The great mass of the people (of all
parties) are honest they demand good gov
ernment, they want it honestly administered,
and they intend to have upright, honorable
and faithful officers. Furthermore, the peo-
pie now believe that the political war is over,
that Butlerism is pestilent crime and that
the organizing and upholding of the South on
a party basis is great wrong. In brief, eve
cry honest voter declared that the thirteen
gears auar had terminoted.- Woonsocket II. H.

THE FRISKY FLEA.

The average woman hates flea with al in
tensity almost diabolical in its nature. She
will pursue one of these little innocents with
the remorselessness of 6end, and if you ever
expect to see a beautiful exempli6cation OF
womanly traits, never look for it when she
knows that flea is about. And In proper
tion as woman hates, the flea seems to love,
and is never enjoying ecstatic bliss unless IA
vored with her society," He likes to seek her
couch in the Silly hours of the night, WOO her
from sumber, and from sheltered nook wit
ness her feverish exertions to escape his ca
resses; but perhaps he does not reach the
acme of enjoyment until he can accompany
her to church and not make his presence
known until she has satisfactorily settled her
furbelows and founces on the cushioned seat
all ready to be admired and make note Of how
others look. And then the flea begins his
manipuations, knowing full we'll that he has
his victim at disadvantage. Here there can
be no hasty finging of skirts, no assuming OF
unbecoming postures while making frantic
grabs at the mischievous and inaccessible mon.
ster If you note the woman closely, you will
see a impression of the lip and look of
hate and pain creeping into the face which
she would fain conceal and not reveal, for are
not many eyes upon her? One moment she
settles herself little more firmly on one side
as though hoping to crush the aggressor, but
the next moment feels him scampering up
ward, when she settles backward quickly to
catch him between her back and the rail, but
all in vain-his flag is still there. One dainty
gaiter may rub up against its fellow as far as
may be done without disarranging drapery,
and there may be quiet, yet nevertheless
vicious clutch of jeweled hand under the
pretense of arranging flowing drapery, but all
in vain. And the flea, how does he enjoy it.?
He roams hither and thther at his own sweet
WILL uncaring for the boiling wrath which
fairly makes the white flesh upon which he
PLAYS shiver beneath his light tread And
perhaps the flea has his mate, and then the
anguish is doubled. At one moment they
are playing tag at another hide and seek,
and while the one is cozily nestled away, the
other rushes hither and thither to find it in
way that is maddening; and then they act the
part of explorers, and prospect every hill and
dale of the form divine. But one thing they
do not do, they do not 60 to sleep. And du-
ring this hour of martyrdom how the wrath
of the woman gathers, and how only thoughts
of dire vengeance make the brief agony en-
durable. But at last the service which has
seemed so long is ended, and with as much
majesty as her writhing form will permit, she
sails home without lettering you may be sure.
The house reached, with one bound she is
within the privacy of her own chamber, and
there all restraint is cast aside. With light
ming haste, off come the barricades behind
which the flea found intrenchment, and at
last she stands like gladiator stripped for
the fight and then the fate of the invader is

so GOES THE WORLD.

so GOES THE WORLD.
Our varied days pass on and on,
Our hopes fade unfulfilled away,
And things that seem the life Of life
Are taken from us day by day;
And yet through all the busy streets,
The crowd of pleasure seekers throng;
The puppets play, the Snowman calls,
And gossip chats the whole day long,
And so the world goes on.
Our little dramas come to naught;
Our lives may fail our darling plan
May crumble into nothingness;
Our firmest castle fall to sand:
And vet the children sing and dance,
The money-makers laugh and shout,
The stars unmindful, still shine bright,
Unconscious that our light is out,
And so the world goes on.
The house grows sad that once was gay,
The dear ones seek their Blessed Home,
And we may watch and wait in vain
TO hear their well-known footsteps come.
And yet the sunlight checks the floor,
And makes the summer shadows long;
The rose buds at the easement bloom,
The bird pours forth his cheerful song,
And so the world goes on.
And God goes on, and with our woe
Weaves golden threads ofjoy and peace;
Guarding with his heart Of hearts
Our days of pain, our days of ease,
He marks them all-the seed, the sheaves,
The dangers smile, the mourner's tears
And keeps them safe, His children all,
Through all the great eternal years,
And, so, thank God, the world goes on.

WEDDINGS the semi-annual bridal
season is at hand, it is the time to plead for q
reform in weddings. Every year this sacred
est of all occasions is turned more and more
into mere opportunity for display, and for
replying to some fancied social obligation.
Instead of the time when few of the closest
friends gather to witness the solemnest COM
pact human beings can frame, it is chosen as
the moment for bringing together the larger
part of family's social circle, to show the
bride in her bridal garments; to prove how
many flowers and refreshments the family can
afford; and, with shame be it said, to exhibit
to criticism and light comment the precious
tokens that should have come with tender re-
gard to the bride on the eve of her new life.
A wedding must not be uncheerful !; but it
must certainly be solemn to all who realize
what it is. On one side, it is renouncing old
ties, promising to begin with faith, and hope,
and love a new and wholly untried existence.
On the other, it is the acceptance of sacred
trust, the covenant to order life anew in such
ways as shall make the happiness of two in
stead of one. Can such an occasion be fitting
for revelry? Is it not wiser, more delicate,
to bid only the nearest Of friends to mar
riage ceremony, and leaving the feasting and
frolic for subsequent time? We are sure
there are few girls who, if they reflect on the
seriousness of the step they are about to take,
will not choose to make their VOW merely with.
in the loving limits of their home circle. All
our best instincts point to the absolute SIM
plicity and privacy of wedding services; only
perversion of delicacy could contemplate the
asking of crowds of halfsympathetic or Who'll.
ly curious people to attend the ful6llment Of
the most solemn of contracts

ARAB INGENUITY Klein, who rode

steal from one another, and rob their friends
horses, but can always find out ifyour mare
has been cheated."'
"How?"
Il always put some pebbles in with the
barley, seven or eight, and count exactly how
many l put in. The mare never eats the peb-
bles, and if any one steals barley, he is sureto
take two or three pebbles with it. If I find
the pebbles short in the morning, | make hard
words, and they cannot tell how l know, and
so they let alone cheating her."
