Inconsistency.

The members Of the Legislature
compromised on the pay, question by
fixing their salary at six hundred dol
lars, with twenty cents mileage. AS
we have already said, we think the
mileage ought to have been omittc
rs the members Of the General
Assembly were presented with free
passes over The different railroads;
and hence when they take mileage it
is simply n quiet way Of adding about
twenty-five dollars clear to their
compensation. The sum taken
;n.orn's to near ten dollars per day
tor ,oih sessions, and seems rather
large c,ccially rs SO much noise and
debate his been made over it as to
attract; lc critical attention Of our
people. II seems that our lawmakers
were ''eyil-bent on cutting down all
sai"r'e.: except their own. Auditors

Fences and the Fence Law.

In our eyes nothing SO mars the
appearance Of n farm as unsightly
tumblcd down, crooked fences, and
VIC have never yet convinced our
selves that they were necessary or
economical. It is true that rs tn c
law now stands they arc necessary
evils for custom or law permits any
one TO turn stock Of any kind upon
the highway, to range ut will over nil
the ncighboring farms, destroying
everything that is not protected by
al adequate barrier in the shape Of
fence. The law even goes fur thcr
than this, and defines what sort Of a
fence snail be considered a legal bar
rior against this stock, which is
allowed TO range through the coun-
try i'll utter violation of tic first and
sim plcst principles OF equity. Gus
tom has much TO do with shaping our
opinions, and in nothing does she
show her tyranny more than III this.
Men still sustain this custom, willie
acknowledging that it is wrong in
principle and contrary 10 The inter
csts Of the entire community.
The fences Of the United States
have cost more than ali other improve
mcnts bcsidcs-i. G., on the farm.
They have cost far moro than The
farms themselves { and their repairs,
from year 10 year, is far the heaviest
burden the farmers Of the country
have to bear. In France and most
places i'll Germany fences arc almost
unknown. Stock ore confined to
small pastures, or led liz stables
through the greater part OF the year,
and, wherever, as in the case of sheen
it is necessary to give them wider
range, they are attended by shop
herd, who, with the aid OF one or two
wc'l-traincd dogs, keeps them within
p cpcr bounds. The system, rs prac
ticcd there, may not be applicable, in
all its details, to our condition, but
many Of its features might be copied
to our infinite advantage. As the
law now stands. We can only cni
the fullest benefits Of our lands at the
suficrance Of our ncighbors, or where
protected by fences, aud to any ono
who does not indulge in keeping any
considerable quantity Of sto ok, the
burden appears very oncrous indeed.
We know single SOW which has
cost the making md laying up Of not
less than ten thousand rails within the
last two years, and the annoyance
and dread of frequent visits even after
these preparations for keeping her out.
Yet this same ill-favored animal has
never seen the day she was worth
S5. Her owner, strong, healthy
and active son OF Ham, informed us
that lie had spent fifteen days in less
than u year looking for her, and that
too, when lie could easily have made
81 a day at work. Had the law com
PEELED him to keep her confined, not
less than one hundred dollars would
have been saved to the community.
TINS is a strong case, but not by any
means an unusual one. We arc con-
scions Of the fact that many would

think it great burden to be COM

that in every case-as it certainly is
III our own-cxpcriencc would prove
