ca With Important Information.
From the New York Sun, May %.
Commodore Vanderbilt was 81 years old
yesterday. He spent the day in his Fourth
street office, taking his usual drive in the
afternoon. \ SIN reporter visited him in
the evening, to inquire about a favorable time
for selling few thousands in New York
Central.
''This,' said the Commodore, slowly and
solcmnly, as he entered the drawingroOm, lis
1ny birthday
Indeed said the reporter. ''Doy you think
the preferred stock"
''ro-day," the Commodore interrupted, Il
am 81 years old; ! am stronger"
'Oh," said the reporter; stronger. Then
il good time to hold?
II an just as strong,' the Commodore re-
don't feel o day older. don't think l am
any older and he straightened his back and
his necktie.
Is there any prospect Of an immediate
rise?'
II have never gone into the late supper
business, the Commodore answered, appar-
emily not catching the drift Of the question,
and have always been 4 very temperate
man. But how did you find ont that this was

porter sbrewdly replied; will the Erie trou-

The Erie troubles will not prevent me from

''And with the prospect of seeing a good
many more birthday anniversaries! the re-
porter asked
THAT, my dear boy" said the Commodore,
SIS one of those things that no fellow can tell
about
''Do you think. coniidentially, that this is a

''No; its never good time to sell after

We published, short time since, the sad
fact that ex-senator Nye had become hope
lessly insane. He has been failing for many
months, but up to very recently has had lucid
intervals of few moments duration, in
which were almost painfully apparent flashes
of his old self. When Senator Booth went
East last spring. the daughter of Senator Nye,
in an effort to arouse him, bent over the old
statesman and said, Father, Senator Booth
has reached Washington. Do you remember
him." Booth, Booth replied the failing
chief; ";s he not of California;" 'Yes,"
said the daughter; ''do you remember him
ing man. The light was beginning to fade
in the old Eagles eye, but he answered as he
would of old. Shaking his head slowly, he
spoke: ''Tbey are mistaken; Booth is like a
squab-he was biggest when first hatched." ;"

A Singular Mania,

1t is difficult to account for the pro-
cecdings Of tiro.bug" named Al
fred L. Jewell, recently arrested after a
long incendiry career at Railway, N.
j. This person was n church member,
and seemed good sort Of man without
my sort OF harm in him. He sang in
the choir, ana was liked by nil. Mean
while for n period Of years houses and
barns in tho vicinity were burning down
under circumstances which could not DO
tho result OF accident. Insurance COM
panics declined 10 insure structures
menaced with such mysterious peril.
Tramps and suspicious persons Of all
sorts were kept under strict espionage,
even sometimes arrested and "leld to
answer" this, that or the other arraign-
ment, but the source Of the fires were
undiscovered. They still occurred with
undiminished frequency. Sometimes
these incendiAry attempts fuiled, and
shavings saturated with petroleum and
partially burned were discovered near
buildings the destruction of which Ind
been attempted. A watch was at leneth
set, and in the still hours preceding tho
dawn n lurking figure WINS observed to
stealthily approach tho building in which
the Waterman was concealed. After due
circumspection, and finding tho coast
apparently clear, he unfoldod his fire.

and put him upon tho line Of immediate

quickly intercepted, and tho man was
lugged away to Jail, and of course to tho
speedy and certain chastisement which
iufallibly awaits offenders in New .Jer-
soy. Thus far no sufficient motive for
for these incendiary acts Inns been shown.
He did not ownany Of the buildings, and
therefore ho could not hope to
obtain from their destruction any part of
the insurance money. Some Of them
again were not insured owing to tho un.
willingness Of the companies to incur
such dangerous risks. Nor does he
seem to have had cause Of enmity against
those whose property lie destroyed.

Sunday Travelling.

A decision under Sunday law has
recently been made by tho supreme
court of Vermont in the case OF johnson
against town Of Warburgh. A statute
of that State provides rs follows: mo
person shall travel on tho Sabbath or
first day Of the week, except from neces-
sity or charity" In the case cited the
court held that " one travelling upon the
Sabbath without excuse cannot maintain
m action against the town for any dam
ago no may suffer though defects in its
highways"
This Judgment is in harmony with
Maine and Massachusetts, decisions, but
in other States different rule has pre-
vailed. In Wisconsin the plaintiff in
the case OF Sutton against Wauwatosa
drove his cattle to market on Sunday,
and they were injured by the breaking
OF defendants bridge. 1t was held that
damages could be recovered, the chief
justice Of the State saying in his opinion:
"The cases may be summed up and
the result stated generally to DO the
aflirmance Of two very Just and plain
principles Of law rs applicable 10 civil
actions Of this nature, namely: First,
that one party to the action, when called
upon to answer for the consequences OF
his own wrongful act done to the other,
cannot allege or reply the separate or
distinct wrongful act Of the other done
not to himself nor to his injury, and not
necessarily connected with or leading to,
or causing or producing the wrongful
act complained Of; and secondly, that
the fault, want Of due care or negligence
on tho part Of the plaintiff which will
preclude q recovery for injury complained
Of, as contributing to it, must DO some
act o. conduct Of the plaintiff having tho
relation to that injury OF cause to the
effect produced by it"
In the Vermont case the court re-
viewed the Wisconsin case, and answered
in the negative the following question:
"Was the town under a legal liability to
furnish the plaintiff safe highway to
travel on at a time when lie was by law
forbidden to travel on it :"
