COMMON SENsE-The question the
meaning of this term would almost seem
to convey personal deficiency oft yet
who can define it accurately or describe
ITS limits? The philosopher Reid, gives
perhaps one of The best and plsinest de.
scnptions when he says, ain common
language sense always implies judgment.
A man Of sense isa man Of judgment
Good sense is good judgment. Nonsense
is what is evidently contrary to right
Judgment. Common sense is that degree
ofjudgment which is common to men
with whom we can converse and transact
business" Yea he proceeds to speak of
it as a natural gift, an instructive judy
mcnt concerning matters that are self
cvikent. He calls it that degree OF rcas-
on which is purely tho gift of Heaven"
all the rest being "learned by practice
and rules

RAILROAD CASES.

After year or two of fooling around the
railroad commissioners finally got a case or
two before the Supreme Court to test the con-
sttu,ionality Of the law passed by the legisla-
turc of this state againt extoItionate charges
for freighs and fares. One of these cases
was against the {. b. Il Q. railroad, and has
just been decided against the commissioners.
But on what grounds The court more than
animated that if the case had been properly
brought they would have sustained the law,
but say they were obliged to decide against
the state because the case was forced to hear
ing without proper preparation. Another case
against the Alton road is likely TO be decided
