SUING FOR DAMAGES.

Some lime since, passenger holding
o railroad ticket from New York 10
San FRANCISCO, which was limited as to
time, WAS put off the cars near Mil!
City. twenty eight miles west Of Win
nelnucca, the time of the ticket having
expired. That passenger, whose name
was Thomas O'Neal, has brought suit
against the Union and Central Pacific
Railroad Companies III the Twelfth
District Court of California for 5000
damages. He alleges in the complaint
that he purchased ticket IN New
York for San Francisco; that at Omaha
it was ehanged, and owing to the care
lessness of the Union Pacific Company
it on allowed four days travel, where
as it would take him eight days to
reach his destination. He complains
of having been forclb,y elected from
the cars at Mill City, and for several
days was obliged to sleep in the open
air and to suffer FROM hunger. This
case, if not compromised, will probably
determine the right OF the Union and
Central Pacific Companies TO limit the
time on which persons can travel over
their roads on "a certain class OF tickets.
1t is unreasonable to suppose that "a
person purchasing a ticket, to be good
only for "a certain number of days, and
for some reason, failing TO use it within
tho specified time, can have no redress.
AS well might the Railroad company
be liable for damages to the ticket
holder, if by accident or other cause
they failed TO take him to his destina-
ton within the time specified on the
ticket. Ordinarily it takes two to
make an agreement. bat railroad COM
panies assume to do it alone, and are
generally successful.

TIE STATE SENATE.

The Senate which convenes at Car
son next Monday will consist of twelve
Democrats, twelve Republicans, aud
one Independent. This is or the face
of the returns. as they say of the bull
dozed Southern States. The seat OF
one of the Republicans, StoUe OF Eiko,
is contested by Gabriel Cohn, who
ciaiMs to have been elected lii 1874 for
four years Tue Democrats and Re-
pu6iicaus being equally divided, gives
the independent the balance of power
and makes bin master OF the situation
provided all the members or equal
numbers OF each party are present.
An unexpected circumstance, seems
likely TO give the Democrats control OF
the orsauIZatlon OF the Senate, unless,
the Independent goes into caucus with
the IL pubiicans, III which event there
would be dead lock. That circum-
stance is the absense OF E. Is. Dicken-
son, Loid-over Senator from White
Pine VINO Is reported sick and unable
to bs present at the organization. 1t
is probable however that no advantage
will be taden Of the absense of Mr..
Dickinson in organizing the Senate.
and that the claims OF competent men
of both parties will be taken iuto con-
sideration and, as near as may be. an
equal number Of each elected. La this
instance. at least, the minority have
rights which the majority ought to
respect.

A COngressman's Wife's Dresses.

There is an anecdote (says Washing

Congressman who proclaimed that rigid
system OF economy must be practced, as
the various failures here, there and every
where had dwarfed the amount of his an
nual income. but what am | to do for
party dresses? ?" asked the anxious wife.
Leave that matter to me, my DEAR and I
will arrange it to your satisfaction"
soothingly replied the leg islator Calling
in reporter, he set before him a tempting
array of edibles, with wine enough to
send warmth through his veins and gen.
erous throbs to his heart-strings. CHOW,
my friend" said the NJ, c., want to en-
plOy you to describe my wife's dresses this
winter, or rather she will describe them,
and you can insert the descriptions in
your various papers. Here's ten dollars
for your trouble, and a seat at our table
when you're hungry" After this, Mrs.
M. G. appeared clothed in such gorgeous
ness as was only known to Solomon in all
his glory. Yet her wardrobe was exceed
ing circumscribed. Of course persons
present at the various paSties, likewise at
tended by Mrs. M. c., were amazed at
the reportorial skill which could, cham
leon-like, change her dresses, so con-
stantly worn, to such varying hues; but
the Madam's far-distant friends, and her
husbands constituents, read the descrip-
tons and thought how rich their Repre-
sentative had grown, and what very
queen of fashion and elegance his wife
had become! And the NJ G. gloried in
the coup d'et0t, which had provided his
wife an elegant outfit for ten dollars and
dinner!

CoNsUMPTIvEs, TAKE NoTIcE.-Every moment
Of delay makes your cure more hopeless, and much
depends on the judicious choice of remedy The
amount of testimony in favor of Dr. ScheDck's Pull
monte Syrup, as cure for consumption far ex-
ceeds all that be brought to support the preten
sions of any other medicine. See Dr. Schenck's
Almanac, containing the certificates of many per-
sons of the highest responsibility, who have been
restored TO health after being incurabe
by physicians of acknowledged ability. Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many, as these
evidences will Show butthe cure is often promoted
by the employment of two other remedies which
DR., Schenck provides for the purpose. These ad-
ditional remedies are Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills. By the timely use of these
medicines, according to directions, DR.. Schenck
certifes that most any case of Consumption may
be cured.

Painted Faces.

Paint is not confined to the natural and
maturing beauties who are doubling the
critical capes of the thirties and forties,
but is reaching the faces of the~young
women. This painting of the lily is a
matter of regret for the American woman
is known in all civilized lands flor the
beauty of her complexion, the delicate
natancc of it being recognized iR the term
of the American tint" To<move away
from the artistic side and hook on the
moral one, it appears still worse.
1t is more or less >matter of in
difference to man that the ugly woman
should be given over to such practice,
for she may not be saved, in an aesthetic
sense; but when the young woman, en-
dowed by nature with a pure skin, resorts
to it, he is removed to cOmmisseraion and
regret, He is wounded in his national
pride, for European fingers have pointed
to the complexion of Columbia's daughter
as something unattainable to her sisters
across the sea. The roses are too red on
the British cheeks, or the fiber is too
rough; there is lack of clearness in the
French skin, and that of the Italian is too
sallow. Remarkable purity and delicacy
belongs alone to the typical American
girl, and these characteristics will con-
tinue to be hers if she will avoid the van
dalic paint box and l,ohel pencils The
first artist of the world has already drawn
her with his gracious lines and painted her
with his beautiful colors, and his name
is nature. Albert Rhodes, IN GGLaGg.

rheumatism Symptom or other Dis

The alarming extent of chronic rheuma-
tism in the country has led to persistent in
vestigation. 1t has lately been ascertained
that the disease is the result of other COM
plicated diseases of the liver, kidneys, pan
creas, blood, absorbents, etc. In other
words, that rheumatism is a symptom. 1t
is also found that, by the removal of the
complicated disease, the rheumatism disap-
pears, as result which seems to substantiate
the theory. We all know, to our sorrow,
how fruitless the ordinary treatment OF this
disease has been, and we now hail with joy
the dawn of this new discovery We all
know that the symptoms of these diseases
are generally present in cases Of chronic
rheumatism, but few bavo supposed the
disease to be an effect.
To remove these diseases the surest remedy
can be found in the SHAKER EXTRACT OF
Roofs OR CURATIVE SYRUP; it appears to
be working many cures. We refer to the
article sold by Druggists and u. White,

EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT,
MADISON. Jan. 26. 1876.


To j. L. Mosher, F. w. Burt f. j. Wood and
Others Grand Rapids, Wis:
GENTLEMEN: l have received your petition
asking me to pardon and relieve G.. O.
Baker from the fine of 5000 imposed upon
him by the Supreme Court of the State
You will remember the Court said
in Bakers case that the rejection of
the election returns from the town of
Lincoln. and the First Ward of Grand
Rapids, by him and his associates in the
Board of Canvassers, was most indecent
and fragrant violation of duty; that he had
usurped an Office for one-third of the Off
cial term by willful malfeasance in office,
corrupt in fact as in law; and that if any de-
PENDANT in any case of quo ,cdTrGnto could
earn such q fine, Baker had earned it in this.
then thought the Judgment of the court o
just one, and the fine moderate: | have yet
had no reason to change my mind.
[ believe the decisions of our courts, ar
rived at after full and fair hearing, should
not be interfered with except upon the most
grave considerations. No such considera-
lions are presented in Bakers case. must
therefore decline to interfere with ttccourse
of law. Yours, with respect,
Ill. IUDINGToN,
Governor.
