The substitute for the late Senator Sum-

The National Agricultural Congress.

A call has been made by Gen. Jack
son, President, for the third session of
the National Agricultural Congress,
which will be held in Atlanta, Ga, on
May ID. The Congress had its rise in
1871, by the consolidation of the g Ag-
ricultural Congress" a purely Southern
institution, with the Tennessee Agri-
cultural and Mechanics Association.
Under the auspices of these bodies, a
meeting was held at Nashville, Tenn.
and where the National Agricultural
Congress was formed.
In 1872, the meeting of the Congress
was held at st. Louis, where the st.
Louis Agricultural and Mechanical AS.
ISOLATION was amalgamated with it.
Last year the Congress met at Indian
apolis, whence, after very successful
meeting, it adjourned to meet at Attain
ia, Ga, on May ID.
This gathering, representing every
State in the Union, and every form of
farmers organization, will be of i'm
mense Importance. :" In view," says
Gen. Jackson, in his call, "of the
representation, aims and objects, and
necessity of such an annual convocation
of representative farmers and scientific
gentlemen, and especially since the
farmer mind is thoroughly aroused to
the necessity of considering with the
greatest deliberation the many ques-
tons touching the industrial interests
of the country, and has now become
ready for vigorous and effective action,
there is every reason to expect full
representation, and L therefore urge
upon all constituent bodies, and espe-
cially the Patrons of Husbandry, to be
represented.
at is especially requested that noti-
fication shall be made of the appoint
ment of delegates TO CharlesW. Greene,
Secretary, Jacksonville, ILL.,, at as early
date as practicable"

Imnortant Legal Decision.

very important decision has been rem
dered in the United States Court at Chicago,
by Judge Blodgett, in the matter of the
petition of Albert T. Goodrich to limit the
liability OF the Goodrich Transportation Com
pany for the loss of their steamer Sea Bird,
which was burned in May, 1863 of Waukegan,
ILL., The application was made by Mr.. Good
rich under the act of Congress Of March 3.
1851 entitled " An act to limit the liability of
ship-owners, and for other purposes and is
the only case ever brought under this act with
respect to losses in inland waters. Several
parties lost their lives on this last trip Of
the Inflated Sea Bird, and one suit was
brought in State court and sixteen in the
United States Circuit Court by the representa-
tives of the deceased, aggregating very
large sum of money. Elaborate arguments
were made, and preliminary injunction was
granted last summer restraining the prosecu-
ton of the suits. Judge Blodget has ordered
the injunction to be made perpetual, holding
under the act that the liability of the owners
of the steamer was to be limited to the
amount of their interest, over and above
salvage in the portions of the vessel
and cargo saved, which, in this instance,
amounted to the small sum of $500.

The Iirhtning.Rod Mans Mistake.

The Iightning.Rod Mans Mistake.
Up in Blossburg, the other day, a
liQhtning-rod man drove up In front of
a handsome edifce standing in the
midst of trees and shrubs, and spoke to
Mr.. Summers, who was sitting on the
steps in front. He accosted Summers,
as the owner of the residence, and said:
"I see you have no lightning-rods on
this house"
"No," said Summers.
"Are you going to put any on 2
"Well, hadn't thought OF 1t, re-
piled Summers.
You ought to. A tall building Like
this is very much exposed. Id ike TO
run you up one of my rods twisted
steel, glass tenders, nickle-plated tips
everything complete. May L put up
one and show you? Ill do the job
cheap"
Certainly you may, if you want to:
haven't the slightest objection, SAID
Summers.
During the next half-hour the man
had his ladders up and his assistants at
work and, at the end of that time, the
Job was done He called Summers out
INTO the yard to admire it, He said to
Summers
"Now, that is all well enough but
if it was my house, I'd have another rod
put on the other side. There is moth
ing like being protected thoroughly"
THAT'S true" said Summers :" it
would be better"
"TL put up another-shall 2 asked
the man.
"Why, of course, if you think it's
best, said Summers.
Accordingly, the man went 10 work
again, and soon had the lod in Its
place.
THAT'S a frst-rate job" he said to
Summers, as they both stood cycling it.
81 like such a man as you are-big-
hearted, liberal, not afraid 10 put dol
lar down for o good thing. There's
some pleasure ia dealing with you. L
like you so much that I'd put a couple
more rods on that house, one on the
north end and one on the south, for a.
most nothing"
cit would make things safer, l sup
pose," said Summers.
Certainly it would. I'd better do
it, hadn't I-hey ?"
"Just as you think proper" said
Summers.
So the man ran up two more rods,
and then he came down, and said to
Summers
There, that's done now let's settle
up"
"Do what 2"
"Why, the jobs finished, and now
I'll take my money.
"You don't expect me to pay you, I
hope ?"
"Of course 1 do. Didn't you tell
me to put those rods on your house ?"
"My house !" shouted Summers.
g Thunder and lightning L never or
dered you to put those rods up. 1t
would have been ridiculous. Why, man,
this is the Courthouse, and m here
waiting for the court TO assemble. I'm
on the jury. You seem to be anxious
to rush out your rods, and, as it was
none of my business, L let you go on.
Pay for it Come, now, that's pretty
good.
The Blossburg people say that the
manner in which that hghtning-rod man
tore around town, and swore, was fear
full. But when he got his rods off the
Courthouse, he left permanently. He
doesn't fancy the place.

varied success. At Pittsburgh large meetings

hot for the saloon-keepers, having begun
large number of prosecutions for violations
of the Baxter law.
The prayer movement has been fully in

shows by scientific data, that wheat
meal, which is cheaper than blo,cd

is not food at all, in the proper
sense OF the term that is, tie ele-
