lyn case the purchaser had paid eighty

stallment, the machine was seized and
carried off by the agent. The victim
lied purchaser brought suit to recover
the amount he had paid. Judge Gilbert
Immediately directed the not unRilling
jury to give the plaintiff verdict for
the full amount with interest. The
counsel for the company pleaded for
delay. "Not an instant" was Judge
Gilbert's reply. This is treating these
sharp dealers to a little Of their own
medicine. "Not an instant" is their
reply when a purchaser asks for time.
The Brooklyn decision will probably
encourage a number of persons who
have lost both their money and ma,
chimes by such sharp practice to at~
tempt to recover either the one or the
other.

"A joint committee of the Mass
achusetts Legislature, accompanied by
the General Manager of the Delaware
and Hudson Canal, and number of
railroad officials, left Scranton Sunday
evening for Buffalo, by way of Bing-
hampton. They had hurried view of
the anthracite resources of the Lack
awanna region, and were favoIably im-
pressed by the proposed route of the
Boston, Hoosac Tunnel and Western
Railway. This road, which is expected
to be constructed at an early date, will
open a new outlet for Scranton coal to
Boston and the principal cities of the
Merrimac Valley, and will connect
with the Delaware and Hudson Canal
Company's road at Schenectady.

stands high among the common plea

cision that the provisions of the new
stay law do not apply to cases where
stay of execution is waived by contract,
nor to claims for labor. He says the
act is nearly a literal copy of the stay

According TO the orders of the
President, last week, through the War
Department, the squad of United States
soldiers that have been doing garrison
duty in the South Carolina State House
since last December were marched out
Tuesday at twelve o'clock. A About the
same time Ex-Governor Chamberlain
lssued valedictory address, annOunc.
ing his purpose to abandon further con-
test, in which, with manifestly sup
pressed passion, he INDUCES in re-
proaches against the President ana the
political "traders" whose counsel an.
proved the withdrawal of the troops.
Chamberlain is an adroit dialectician,
few men being his superiors in SO tell
ing story as to exhibit in strong relief
all OF the strong points of his own case,
whilst entirely eOncealing the stronger
facts of the other side. This address is
an apt Illustration, hut it is no longer
worth while to discuss the fact on either
side. Governor Hampton has the au-
thority aud responsibility now, aud the
country will expect him to WELD it both
wisely, humarely, and with impartial
Justice,
