Learning by Experience.

\ few days since IN elderly gentleman
in Sacramcnto,w who bot out of bushes, and
considered that he was too advanced in
age To do hard work. concluded that he
would start a grocery store. He secured
stock of goods, and few days since.
while preparing for opening the establish
ment. concluded that he would tap the
keys of beer left on the previous day. a
friend who was present, seeing him APP
preaching one the kegs with an augcr,
inquired what he was going To do, and
learned that be intended TO tap that
beer. The questiuncr suggested that
the proper way was 10 place the faucet
in position and drive in the cork which
the revenue stamp covered, but the old
gentleman concluded that his way WAS
the best and forthwith forced hole
through the top of the keg. OF course
the beer assembled like fountain rs he
withdrew the augcr and he endeavored
to suppress it by putting his hand over
The hole, and failing in this. by inserting
his finger; a. a last resort he sat down
upon ii. calling loudly for some one to
hand him faucet; but meanwhile the
beer had forced its way though his pants,
climbing upward, and oozing ont every
whcre-emerging from his wai>tband
and even at his shirt collar, and the by
ISLANDERS were laughing SO hard that they
were unable to do anything to relieve
him. even il they had dared TO venture
within the area of beer spray II was
not until every drop Of liquid had left
the key that the old gentleman felt war
rantcd in getting up.

Editors of the Register:
The first thing we do i to look over
your most elegant paper, to see the news
OF our county and always see letters from
other counties, but hardly II word from
old Wetzel in the REGISTER, to give
skctchcs.and incidents of local transac-
tions that would be interesting to lis
MANY readers. But as the spirit
has not moved any +" do this,
thought ] would scrbblc down a
few items. which if you think worthy OF
II place in the REGISTER You can use
them. The people Of this country are
generally law abiding people, striving 10
make honest living by active labor.
But s.ncc our prOtractcd meeting at
Macedonia, some of our fellow men
think us rs bad rs hcathcns, and our
hearts is hard rs Pharaoh's, or in other
words as hard as hrickbat. But JOY
be to such preaching. If they can get
to heaven by such conduct, think We
poor creatures will be there too. Although
our preachers call us heathcns. We
are getting up u club Cor TIA" REGISTER.
Our friend Mr.. Peter Lancaster, Is get
ting up a club, and We wish him good
success here.
Our health is generally good, but inh-
enza and cold is raging here now rs an

Regarding our educational advantages.
our school houses are generally employed

We hope the legislature will pass a

Some fine improvements have been

Experimental Demonstration OF
Aerial Reflection

Thus far We have dealt in inference
merely, for the interrogation Of sound
through aerial reflection has never been
experimcntally demonstrated; and, Indeed,
according TO Arago'- observation, which
has hitherto held uudisputcd possession
81 the scientific field, ii does not sensibly
exist. But the strength otscicncc consists
in vcrilication and ! was anxious to sub
nit the question OF aerial rctircten to AN
experimental test. ~ in most similar
cases. it was not the simplest combna-
tions that were first adopted. Two gases
of different dcnsitics We're TO be chosen,
and | choose carbonc acid and coal gas
With the aid of my assistant, Mr.. John
Cuttrell, tunnel was formed, across
which tivc.and.twcnty layers of corOonic
acid were permitted 10 fall, and iive-and.
twenty alternate LAYERS Of coal gas to rise.
Sound WAS sent through this tunnel,
making fifty passages from medium to
medium in its course. These, | thought,
would waste in aerial echoes IL sensible
portion of sound.
To indicate this waste an objective test
WAS found III "A gas-iame brought to the
verge of tiuring. The action OF sonOrous
vibrations on such flame was discovered
bv Professor lie COME in the United
States. who bad the sugacity to seize upon
the most essential features of the phe-
u0nrnon. \ similar observation was
subsequently, made by Professor Barrett
while assistant in the physical laboratory
Of the ROYAL Institute; and both he and
myself, my present assistant, Mr.. Cot
trcll. aud Phillip Barry, have succeeded
in pushing such flames to nm eXtraordln-
orv decree OF senstivcncss. The follow
ing brief description of sensitive flame
"A inches high. issuing from the single
orifce of steatitc- burner, is taken from
my forthcoming Lectures on Sound:
Tine slightest tap on distant anvil
causes it to fail to seven inches. When
bunch of KEYS i shaken, the flame is
violently agitatcd, and cmits II loud roar.
The dropping Of Il siNpencc INTO II hand,
already containing coin, knocks the flame
down. The crcuking of boots sets it in
violent commotion. The crumplng or
tearing of bit of paper, or the rustic of
silk dress, does the same. Responsive
to every tick of a watch held near 1t, 1t
falls and cxplodeS. The winding up Of
the watch produces tumult, From dis
lance of so yards we may chirrup to this
flame and cause it to fall and roar. Re-
peatin passage from the 'Fairic

manifold sounds Of my voice, noticing
some 10y slight nod, to others it responds

IMPORTANT TO TRAVELLERS.
A L-y-Over Ticket and Its Couse
pupncps

From the Chicago Tribune Feb. IS.
An important decision to all traveller:
by rail was given by the Supreme Court
in the late case of the Chicago, Rock Is
land and Pacific railroad company rs
James E. Boyce. Appellee, on his way
from San Francisco to this city, became
a passenger on appellants road, having
as baggage, trunk and box Of photo
graphs, which were both checked. At
Wilton, Iowa, Boyce stopped OF,
owing to ill-beslth, having obtained a
"lay-over' ticket, and remained five days,
when he resumed his journey, and
reached Chicago October II, 1871 His
baggage, however, came through direct
", and. arriving here October 9TH or It'll,
was burned in the great fire Of October
sth, 1871. To recover the value Of this
baggage Boycc brought suit, and recov-
cred for part, it being shown that
some of the things he carried were not
an ordinary travellers equipment, for
which common carrier would be liable.
The company took an appeal.
The Supreme Court, after stating that
some Of the articles, such a. Il lady
sacquc and mufi, two napkin ring, etc,
were improperly allowed for baggage,
decided that the case was bad On another
ground. The most important question
was whether the Company was liable AS
common carrier for the baggage after Its
arrival here, and that responsibility
ceased when the carrier became mere
4. nd hnnnrnn
houseman after II reasonable time hau
elapsed in which the owner of the bag
gage might have claimed 1t. The difil-
Guilty WAS rs to what constituted "a reason
able time, and it was impossible to state
any exact time. What constituted IA
reasonable time was mixed question
of law and fact, depending very much on
the peculiar facts of each individual case.
But when the facts were undisputed 1t
was purely question Of law to be de-
cidcd by the court.
The baggage of passenger was u'llal-
" delivered to him OF his arrival at his
destination, and if, for any reason, lie
failed to call for it. the common carrier
had Alright to store it III warehouse,
and become n warchuuscmau only. Such
storage WAS for the benefit of the passen-
ger, and public interest did not demand
that Il railroad company should be re-
sponsible AS common carrier for rcas-
enable time, to claim and take away
baggage, nor ought the passcr ser to be
able to extend its liability for his own
convenience, nor by reason of inevitable
accident to himself
1t is considered that the Company con
sentcd to the delay by giving the Gay
over ticket. But it was under no legal
liability to do this, and II WA, done only
for the humane purpose OF accommodat-
ing the passenger, who VII, physically
unable to pursue hi, Journey. This was
no fault of tn" Company, and II IT was
willing to obIigG him in ms extremity, H.
responsibility ought not for that reason
to be enlarged, for had his sichne>s been
prolonged il would certainly be irres-
ponsiblc as insurer for his baggage. The
Judgment of the court i'll favor If Mr..
Boycc would, therefore, be reversed, as
being contrary to the law and evidence.

Editors OF the Register:
Being a constant reader Of your yalua.
Die and most highly appreciated paper
and seeing communications from several
counties Of the State, | very respectfully
ask space in the columns of the REGISTER
for q few remarks which / shall offer Al
briefly as possible.
The weather for the past two months
has been the severest that we have ever
experienced in this part Of the country.
The roads have been a glare of ice and
have in several places been impossible
the greater part Of the winter.
The wheat prospects look somewhat
unfavorable at present, but if we are TO
judge the future by the past we shall
have enough and to spare.
In Yesterdays paper we notice COM
muncation from Barbour county, signed
Washington in which he attempts to
give a history Of the Grange movement.
perceive that the gentleman is laboring
usdcr slight mistake, or else he is the
author OF few Misrepresentation. He
says it has revealed some strange revela-
tions. Again, he says, the workings of
the order are secret. If this be true, from
what source did he receive these revela-
tiOnS, or does he assume TO be Joe Smith,
No. =. He assumes the idea that it was
gotten up by government clerks in Wash
ington City. Now YOU will perceive at
once that this is very erroneous idea
from the fact that the dcf,atiom Of the
word grange IL "A farm with its build
lngs, &c
This, think, would be very appro-
pirate name for set Of government
clerks to assume. Just notice the idea
will you?
The grange movement is peculiarly II
farmers institution, a.d none are admit
ted into its ranks except those who are
directly interested III agricultural pur-
suits.
Again he says, that the grange pro-
poses to see that its members are entitled
to the rights of suffrage, and vote only
for men who are pledged to carry out
the objects Of the order.
We emphatlcaliE ana sincerely ASSERT
the oft repeated truth, taught in our or
ganic law, that the grange, National
State, or subordinate, is not Il political or
party organization.
No grange, if true to it, obligations
can discuss political or religious questions
nor call political conventions, nor nomin-
ate candidates nor even discuss their
merits in it, meeting.
1t Is reserved by every patron a. the
right of a freeman to affiliate with any
party that viii best carry ont hi prlnci-
piles.
The worthy gentleman also says that
i, sounds to him like wind party. If
thi. be- true. We think from the amount
of blowing that he has been doing. that
they would do well to admit him into
their ranks tor we presume he would
make very active member.

Il HENCHMAN OF THE RING.

The Neups and Courier tells us in a
spirightly editorial that ''the reckless
scribbler whose letter to the New York
Sun we have branded as an ingeniously
compounded falsehood' is also the
columbia correspondent of the Cincinnati
commercial and the Washington Capital.
That he "is no less person than Rollin
cH.EKirk, a decayed Radical politician,
who hopes to buy our silence as he has
already sought to sell his own. During
athe late campaign Kirk wrote letters to
the Augusta Constitutionalist in support
,f Judge Green while writing letters to
the Columbia Union Herald eulogising
p ,Er. Chamberlain, and went so far as to
prepare placard to be posted all over
the State announcing that judge Green
was dead" Failing to have his claims
disappointment to Office recognized by an
administration which deservedly repu-
,iates such scoundrelly electioneerng
devices, he naturally becomes the tool. of
that clique of corrupt and disappointed
politicians whose game of plunder has
been blocked by Gov. Chamberlain.

but regret that, the honored name of
