A Sailors Ssrsll In Censsasaginoplo.
The captain came down and called out
that if I wanted to 60 up town to come
along, 50 jumped ashore with my blue
shirt and broad collar and went into the
town. All the carrying here is done by
men or horses, for the streets are so mar.
row there is no room for wagons, although
you occasionally see one. Ladies going
out shopping use sedan chair or 60 on
foot. The carriers use pole about if
teen feet long, with knobs on the end, and
two little iron pins in the middle, where
the rope goes around, to keep the load in
place. ! have seen eight men carrying a
large bale Of hay, using four poles, and
the bale being slung diagonally 50 that the
men could each rest one hand on the
others shoulder. It made it quite ex.
citing when ten or twelve loads were com.
ing at the same time, the men all shout.
ing for the people to get out Of the way,
and the street being so narrow that such
thing was almost impossible. Small,
light things like trunks are carried by
one man, who has m affair of pigskln
strapped on his back, Of such 4 shape
that the articles carried almost stay there
without being tied. After We left the
ship chambers we came out into an open
place. where WAS surprised to SEQ horse
cars. These cars are divided into two
compartments, one.third of the cars be.
ing for ladies and the other two.thirds for
gentlemen. Next we went up a very
billy street; 50 steep that it is oil steps.

stores Of all descriptions, and
is crowded with people. I
say lots Of those eastern beg
CARS we read of some in bushel baskets,
with nothing to be seen but the head and
one arm, and = variety Of other sorts. At
q building that was being torn down we
saw them carrying away the bricks on
donkeys, big bundle Of them being
slung on each side, either one of the bum
dies weighing more than the animal,
while the poor little fellow would try to
walk, with his legs bending under him
like rods Of whalebene. When we ar.
rived at the Amtrican consul's the CAD.
tain went up TO his Office and 1 stood at
the door There are any quantity Of
people gong around selling things you
never heard Of in the States, and in
mode Of selling you never see. For in
stance, there are men selling drinking
water; they have kind Of wooden
tub strapped on their back. the tub
being entirely hidden by le.~es aud
branches of trees, which. tower high
above their heads. The water is drawn
through leather pipe, which has
brass nozzle and cock on the end, the
mouth Of the nozzle being also surround.
ed with green leaves. In front of them
they carrya little brass tray, with two
tumblers, and sponge for washing the
rims of the glasses. They also rinse
them out when you take 4, drink. The
price is one para, equal to. one cent, and
you: are entitled to two glasses. The
water is good. Then there are fruit men,

AFTERNOON SESSION,

1
At the afternoon session of this society
yesterday afternoon, the President, Tru.
man NJ. Smith, delivered his annual ad.
dress. 1t was very lengthy and very in
teresting. In the course Of the address
he alluded to the fine display Of fruits
At the last State Fair. He thought it
extremely unfortunate for those who con-
tributed to this fine display that the pre-.
miums had not been paid. lie thought
fruit growing paid the poorest of any
kind Of business, but thought, neverthe-
less, that every exertion should be made
at the next Fair to make The. display
larger, better, and more attractive than
ever before. The opinion formerly pre-.
vailed. that Minnesota could not grow
corn or fruit, but the fallacy. of this
statement had been thoroughly proved,
As Minnesota can raise both inlargo guam.
titles and of the finest quality. Now it is
for the Horticultural. Societies to show to
the world that = similar mistake has been
made by those who say we cannot grow
fruit. When this has been done the pub
lie will appreciate the good that has been
done by this society. The objection that
We could not raise fruit prevented immi.
grafton from -aocking into this State. He
Urged upon the society the necessity of
sending delegate to the American Pom
illogical Society, to be held in Chicago;
next September. The address concluded
by suggestion to apply to the Legisla-
ture to give the society some assistance.
If this were done it could! make such =
display Of fruit Is would repay the
money SO expended, by 4 largely inereas:
ed Immigration. He thought the Horti..
cultural Society was able Is do more.
good for the State than $40, 000s worth Of
immigration tracts. We are improving.
year by year, in the raising Of fruit, and
he had faith that We should ultimately
raise first.ci.ss fruit here md in great
abundance. He favored the Organizing
of alocal horticultural; society ain every
town and city Of our State, and keeping

Pro RATA FEATURE OF THE LAW.
The pro rata feature Of the law, that
provision which forbids = greater charge
for transportation over = given distance
on any line Of railroad, than over the
same distance elsewhere on the line for
like freight or passage, is shown in prac-
tice to be unequal and Objectionable in
certain cases where special circumstances,
like those hereafter indicated, seem to az:
ford an exception to the general and alb.
stract justice Of the principle. For ex.
ample, the First Division Of the St.. Paul
and Pacific railroad company. main line.
extends from st. Paul to Minneapolis.
and thence to the western boundary Of
the State. The first eleven miles Of the
road, between the cities of Saint Paul and
minneapolis, has the local business las
well % the through traffic of the whole
main and branch lines), of at least sew.
enty thousand people. There is no other
equal distance on the road that has the
local business Of one,twentieth Of this
population. It is obvious that that the
heavy traffic Of the frequent and crowded
trains between these cities can be done
at less cost than the light business of the
western half Of tho main line, or, indeed,
any, other part Of the road. The com.
psny, adapting its rates eqoitably to this
difference in cost, charged three cents
per regular passenger, fare, and only
about two and Z halfcents per mile for
round trip tickets between these cities,
while the fare Qn or other, parts Of the
road was five cents per mile. 8, The Com

The opinion OF Mr.. A. G.. Riddle in regard
to the rights OF citizens and the duties of rail-
road corporations, read at the meeting of
property holders in South Washington last
night, would seem TO be In accordance with
both law and equity. The conclusions reached
in this opinion are: First, that whoever buys
or leases a house on a street in this city ac-
Guires property in the street TO an extent
necessary for a full enjoyment of the house
That there is no power in the municipal cor
poration or national government to violate
this right Of property or to authorize others
to do it, That il franchise is granted to a
railroad company. for instance, TO lay down
q track and run cars along the street, 1t
must be done in such a manner as not ma
terially to impair this right Of the residents.
Second. If the railroad company so con-
structs its track as TO materially obStruct
the street, each resident may maintain
suit against il for damages. lift permits its
cars To stand on the street, or multiplies its
tracks, or attempts 10 make any use OF the
street for freight or other purposes in any
way, except TO pass the trains carefully along
the same, right of action accrues TO the in
jured resident for each of these acts. IL the
trains are moved with such rapidity as to
produce shaking or vibration of the ground
thereby oecasioning injury to the walls of
buildings, the owner may have his action
In conclusion, Mr.. Riddle holds that rail-
road company has no right 10 torture the
sick and infirIn with noises which can with
care be prevented.
