AJudgment ON Him.

Springfield Republican,
Three years ago Christopher
Smith, of Boston, broke the Sab
bath. Having been at church in
the morning, he started to walk
over to Charlestown to see whether
a house into which he was to move
on Monday had been properly
cleaned. On his return, as he was
passing along Austin street, q loco
motive struck the gate-the gate
keepers not getting it open quick
enough-an1 the gate struck him,
inaicting a painful injury. Chris
topher Smith brought his action to
recover damages. The defense set
up was that the plaintiff was trav-
cling on the Lords day. not from
necessity or charity, Christopher
swore that he had been at work all
the preceding week. Mrs, Christie
pher swore that their furniture was
all packed up at the time, ana that
they had to move, as their room
had been let to another person, who
was to take possession on that day.
The Superior Court couldn't see
where the necessity or mercy came
in here, and ordered a verdict for
the defendants Christopher APP
pealed, and the Supreme Judicial
Court now afiirms the decision Of
the subordinate tribunal, remark
ling that there was "no evidence
under our decisions which would
Justify the jury in finding that the
plaintiff was travelling at the time
Of the accident from necessity oil
charity" Isn't it nearly time to be
/ thinking about adjusting our Sun
day laws to the nineteenth century

the Iroquois tell us that their an
certors on coming eastward to the |
Mississippi found that region occu-
pied by people who dwelt in towns,
and that they drove them south
ward and took possession Of their
lands. The most plausible theory
is that which Identifies this race
with the Aztecs, and thus the civil
lization, whose early efforts are
found along the Mississippi and its
tributaries, has its elimination in
ancient Mexico and Perm. The
Montezumas and the lncas were
its representatives. One curious
fact is very suggestive in this con-
nection. Lake Superior copper,
wrought into various implements,
has been found in the graves of the
old Peruyians. Unhappily the
Spaniards, in their conquest Of the
new world, destroyed all the rec
ords and paintings that might
have given us the key to
the mystery, Perhaps among
the discoveries to be made in
New Mexico and Yucatan an an
tiquarian may find something that
will throw light upon the origin
and history of this vanished race.
But as it is, the fragments of its
life placed among the wonders o1
the nineteenth century produce Z
strange impression in the beholder.
A thousand years ago the mound
builders digged and planted anc
builded and dreamed Of the future
To-day we muse upon their ashes
When another thousand years shall

great engineering work was on the

termination was born in Virginia

August, 1861, Major;in September,
1861, Brigadier General Of Volun-

General of Volunteers. General
Newton was engaged in the Utah
expedition in 1858, and assisted at
the construction of Forts Delaware

he commanded brigade in the
campaign on the Peninsula, and

4 RemarkabIe English Pauper.

AT recent weekly meeting OF
the EPSON Board of Guardians, a
communication from the medical
officer of Great Brookham was
taken into consideration, calling
attention to the case of enc Eliza
Tanner, who was suffering from an
internal complaint, and being an
enormously fat and unwieldly per-
son, the nurse in attendance was
utterly powerless to move her pa
tient, who in consequence had not
been shifted from her bed for sew
eral days. The letter strongly re-
commended her removal to the
workhouse infrmary, where there
would be sufficient strength to lift
the poor woman when required.
The chairman said he had ascer-
tanned there were no paupers at the
workhouse sufficiently able bodied
to be of much assistance to the
nurse. The relieving officer being
applied to, expressed his opinion
that no two OF the guardians would
be able to lift Mrs. Tanner. 1t
would be useless to engage p fly for
the removal, as she could not be
passed through the doorway; indeed,
nothing short of a strong and
roomy wagonnette would answer
the purpose. Her weight, as near
as could be ascertained, was about
twenty-four stone, with every pros
pect of greatly increasing. Ult-
mately the relieving officer was
empowered to engage such a num-
Der Of persons as would be able to
transfer Mrs. Tanner from one
position to another, the chairman
observing that it was obvious that
if the woman was brought to the
workhouse they would have to in
crease their staff.

Ro,t,ed Bumble-B bees.

Detroit Free Press
No man can tell when a boy of
nine or ten years is going to break
out in a new spot. A Cass farm lad,
who has been noted for his quiet
demeanor and steady ways, all at
once took a notion to hunt bumble-
bees, lie armed himself with a
wide-mouthod bottle and tramped
over lots and fields and entrapped
many a luckless stinger After Sc
curing them he had no further
pleasure except to see them crawl
up and down the sides Of the bot
tie and whack their stingers into
each other. He was out early yes
terday morning, gathering in the
bees while they we're benumbed,
and when he entered the house fol

breakfast he had about thirty great,
overgrown, wicked Hooking humble
bees. They were packed into the
bottle heads and tails and other
ways, and the father catching sight
of them spoke up;
"See here, boy, l don't want any
more of this fooling around after
bees. After breakfast you heave
that bottle out doors, and don't
bring another bee around this
house"
The boy placed the bottle behind
the dining-room stove. There was
a gentle fire, and the bottle had no
cork. The family had got through
the first cup of coffee when they
heard something going:
"Jing = -ding-ong-long
-rong-g!"
The fire warmed the bees up, and
they left the bottle to warm the
family up. 1t was q business affair,
and the bees went in to do their
best. The boy slid ont at the first
alarm, but the old folks flourished
their napkins until sliding out
would have done no good. The
old gent got a sting on the left ear
and another on his head at the
same second, while the old lady was
punctured in the shoulder, and
yelled Murder!" with all her
might.
"Maul-maul 'em!" shouted the
old gent, waving the butter dish
around, and getting another needle
into his neck.
"Policel Police." squealed the
old lady, diving under the table al
