This liz a very bald estimate; there is surely
nothing superfiuOus, and the prices are such
that good material could only be secured by
having the garments at least parity made al
nome. Yet there Is no margin for riboOus,
laces, gloves, handkerchiefs, perfumery, nor
any OF those small items OF personal expense,
such as stationery, which social life involves,
nor does II mention furs, nor gifts OF any de-
ription iOr birth days or holidays.
No doubt, thrifty women could save, on
some of the items mentioned, but it would
be, by adding to the burden OF their lives,
the burden Of cutting and making their best,
as well as their cOmmOner dresses. by buying
taste to their economy. This may be all
right, but they should, At least, have the
credit OF 1t nor is 1t always economy to
spend five dollars instead OF ten In the pur-
chase OF materials or articles for use. Many
women are forced into wasteful habits by
never having money enough TO buy really
good thing. 1t Is always a smaller sum than
they need that Is doled out to them, and SO
they are always In arrears with their necss-
sites, and are obliged to make cheap pur-
csases, which have no element OF durability,
are the dearest in the end.
The conditions OF our daily life are very
different now from what they were ffIy years
ago, and IL must be remembered thai women
neither make them, nor can they change
them. Men make much more money now
than they did then, but they seem TO consider
1t their exclusive right to save 1t, or spend II,
as II pleases them, and exact from their
wives a rigid system, which has not the COM
pansations OF former times, when the pnO-
ducIs of The spinning wheel furnished them
at least with comfortable covering, and the
march OF civilization had not proceeded far
enough to awaken social competition.

Influence Of Valleys on Health.

Mr.. Alfred Haviland lately informed
the London Social Science Association
that many diseases were induced by the
common tendency to place houses in
valleys instead of on the hill-sides. He
says that valleys do not get full share
of fresh air. The wind blows over, not
through them, and the atmosphere with
in their boundaries is comparatively
stagnant. His observations are there
fore opposed to the common belief that
valleys are especial channels for at
mospheric movements but his opinions
are sustained by DR.. B. w. Richardson,
who is good authority. The latter gen.
tleman enumerated twenty-five or thirty
diseases which he thought might be at
tributed to the propensity for valley
homes. Among them are Group. infu-
enza, rheumatism, scrofula, fistula, cal
culas, and possibly some malformations.
The list is formidable, and, to put it
mildly, it is almost Incredible that dis
eases of this character can be caused by
living in the broad and shallow valleys
of England. Mr.. Haviland's remarks
were illustrated by maps and models
showing the geological structure of the
earth.-Ihe GaloGu for October

themselves from 1866 to 1867. they re-
enacted, not in name but in reality. ali
the worst evils of negro slavery under
the form OF yagrant laws, under the va
rious forms that they had adopted with
reference to the colored people, so that
the great population was reduced to a
condition Of servitude almost equal to
the old-tlme slavery, and the Republican
party was then obliged to intervene and
put forth It's measures Of restoration in
the form OF the amendments to the
constitution. These three amend
ments-the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and
Fifteenth-were fought at every stage
by the Democratic party with all their
power-here and there only Democrat
accepting them.
When the Republican party proposed
to give freedom to the black man the
Democratic party said No." when the
Republican party proposed to give them
equal rights, in the form of the Four
teenth amendment, the Democratic par
ty said g No." and when the Republican
party proposed to make the suffrage
equal, without regard to color, the Dem
ocratic party said "No." And after
these amendments were by it adopted !;
when we had reached the year 1868 and
were ready to go into the great campaign
OF that year, what was the central, rally
ing doctrine on which the Democrats
fought that campaign? 1t was this !:
That the so-called amendments to the
constitution were void, and ought not to
be obeyed and respected as amend
ments, and it was on that doctrine
that the great Democratic party
of the United States fought the cam
paign OF that year. Does any man now
hold that the three amendments were not
valid Not only do they not hold that,
but in the campaign of 1872 they came
to the front, bringing in their arms as
their candidate for the Presidency the
foremost Abolitionist Of America; a man
who spent twenty-five years of a brilliant
editorial life in denouncing the Demo-
cratic party, up hill and down dale, and,
when they came forward with Greeley in
their arms, they announced that they
were in favor Of all the amendments, and
in favor Of enforcing them in good faith.
[ am glad Of it. It sponges out the
issue of 1868. Tt confesses Judgment on
it. It turned about as party directly
upon its tracks and destroyed the old
platform of 1868.
Well, now, fellow-citizens, step by
step, year by year, Presidential cam
paign by Presidential campaign, the
Democratic party has abandoned these
old doctrines, turning its back upon
them and trying new ones, and has not
shown itself through all these years to
be party of steady, consistent ideas
that it stands to us as the old Demo
cratic party Of the days Of Jackson did.

DUTIES OF COMMON CARRIERS.
An Important Ruling Against an Express
Company.

An Important Ruling Against an Express
Company.
Justice Strong's full opinion rendering
the Supreme Court decision in the case
of certain Louisville banks against the
Adams Express Company is highly i'm
portant to common carriers. The Adams
Express Company was sued for money
packages lost by a railroad accident and
fire on the Louisville and Nashville road.
The defense was that the receipt given
by the Southern Express Company stipu-
lated that said company and its eonnec-
tions should "not be held liable for loss
by the dangers of railroad transportation
or fire. The court below gave judy
ment for the company. The Supreme
Court reverses this judgment, and says
Z" The defendants were common carriers,
They were no less such because they had
stipulated for more restricted liability
than would have been theirs had their
receipt contained only q contract to carry
and deliver. What their liabilities were
is to be determined by the nature of
their business, not by the contract they
made respecting the liabilities which
should attend it. Having taken up the
occupation, its fixed legal character could
not be thrown off by any declaration or
stipulation that they should not be con-
sidered such carriers. The duty of
common carrier is to transport and de.
liver safely. He is made by law an in
surer against all failure to perform this
duty, except such failure as may be
caused by public enemy or by act of God.
By special contract with his employers
he may to some extent be excused, if the
limitations to his responsibility stipu-
lated for are in the Judgment of the law
and not inconsistent with
sound public policy. It is agreed, how
ever, that he cannot by any contract with
his customers relieve himself from re-
sponsibility for his own negligence or
that of his servants, and this because such
a contract is unreasonable and contrary
to legal policy. Somuch has been finally
determined in Railroad Company VS..
Lockwood, II Wall. 357. But can he
by contract made with those who intrust
to himfor carriagea and delivery,
a contract made at the time he receives
the property, secure to himself exemp-
ton from responsibility for consequences
of the negligence Of a railroad company
or its agents not owned or controlled by
him, but which he employs in the trans
portation? This question is not an
swered in the Lockwood case. It is
raised here, or, rather, the question is
presented, whether common carrier
does relieve himself from the conse-
quences Of such negligence by stipula-
ton that he shall not be liable for losses
by fire. On this point it is said that the
common carrier is responsible for the
conduct Of the agency employed in car
riage, and that he cannot relieve himself
in such way"

Grant on the Political Situation.

A correspondent of the New York
Herald, writing from Edinburgh, Scot
land, gives report of an interview with
ex-President Grant
The General stated he would remain
in Europe till after the excitement that
would surround the test of Hayes policy,
for the reason that if he were at home
he would be charged with having a hand
in every kind of political ma euvering,
whether he had or not, and he wished to
Danish politics from his mind until
everything settled down. ct can say
one thing" said the General, that if I
was at home should exert my influence.
as far as I could exert it, in favor of
Hayes plan of reconciliation. The OBJ
ject aimed at is noble one, and I hope
it will succeed" In answer to a sug-
gestiGn that many Republicans feared
that Hayes course would destroy the
party, Grant said 'Never fear. Z have
always, of late years, had an abiding
faith in the success of the Republican
party at each election, not SO much be-
cause it is always the strongest with the
people as because always just at the last
moment the Democrats do some foolish
thing and give victory to the Republi-
cans. Now, mark my words. We will
have a Republican President in 1880,
because the Democracy cannot resist it's
general disposition to kick over the milk
pail after it is filled. [ told Judge Nib
lack, Of Indiana, SO just before the last
election, and he smilingly admitted the
truth of what I said"
In reference to civil-service reform,
Gen. Grant said he did not believe it
would succeed, because the theorists had
disagreed among themselves as to it's
practical application, though he wished
it could in some practical way. He con-
tinued "Take Schurz, for instance.
He is making q business Of civil-service
reform but he is humbug, and Hayes
will find him out before long. 1t is all
very well to say that the business of
office-seeking shall be abolished, but
the ofice-seeker cannot easily be abol-
ished, and the more theorists quarrel
among themselves the farther practical
civil-service reform seems to recede."
In answer to a question as to what
AC Va b11C OL1SSO1ub1OA
of Republican State organizations
in the South, Grant said THAT
is one of the usual violent effects of wise
government after a scene of turmoil like
we had last fall. For myself, I do not
care for party. You can always depend
upon the good sense of the people of the
United States. They believe in re-
public. Their flag is to the fore, witt
strong arms behind it always, and they
are sentimental, loyal, and brave. They
will never elect high official except
upon a common-sense basis. For that
reason, [ believe, the Republican and
Democratic parties, of late, being so
evenly divided, that the people will be
compelled to vote in large majority for
the Republican candidate, no matter who
he may be, because the Democrats will
do some silly thing that will drive think
ing people from their ranks at the last
moment. Modern Democracy always
does it. It has made me smile frequent
ly as / have thought of it. But there is
some fatality at work in the premises"

A Brace of Pictures.

The Hon. Bill Tweed, ex-leader of the
New York Democracy, in the course of
his revelations, has had occasion to refer
unpleasantly to his old Democratic
brother and chum, the Hon. John Nor
rissey. And this reference has natural
ly induced the latter to make compli-
mentary illusions to the former; each
presents true picture of the other. We

that at every beat of the heart the whole
body is projected small but perfectly

Could you have heard the kingfsher scream and

And his cap Of velvet, black ana prlght, anu lllS

bead-black eyes,
And pensivey sent up so sweet and delicate note
Ringing so high and clear from out her dainty mot
That echo round the silent shore caught up the clear
And sent the charming music back again, and yet

And the brown song-sparrow on the wall made haste
To try and drown that Earring din but it was all

And the swallow like steel-blue fash, swept past

But it wasn't of any use at all, he was too much dis

And take his place once more upon the seaweed wet

This is fine showing for men who
have been leaders in the Democratic
party. The worst Of it is that both of
them are powers still. The ex-prize-
fighter is actively engaged in politics,
and the ex-Boss is the possessor OF much
valuable information about prominent
public men that they would not care to
have the public know. What each says
of the other is strictly true; and these
are the men who have long ruled the
Tilden and Reform party. The country
had narrow escape last November

THEN on THIS.

THEN on THIS,
The Hon. John, the
Democratic blackleg,
having read the ex-
Boss statement, I'M
burdens himself to a
convenient reporter as
follows:
My attention has been
called to an editorial ar
ticle in the Herald of this
day, in which it is stated
that I have been indicted
for % burglary and other
offenses." It is a duty,
not only to myself, but
to the people of the Fifth
Congressional District,
for whose support I am a
candidate, that I should
state the facts. When I
was a boy, Is years of
age, I and a few friends
were engaged in an alter
cation with a party Of
young men, and in that
alteration there was a
door of a house kicked
open. 1t was charged that
L was one of those who
kicked open the door and
struck one of the oppos-
ing party. An affidavit
was made by one of the
men engaged in the quar-
rel that I had broken open
the door and struck him.
[ was indicted for bur-
glary and assault and bat
terry. The indictment for
burglary was never tried.
The District Attorney re-
garded the charge as too
frivolous to be prosecu-
ted. I was tried for as
sault and battery and
found guilty.
Before entering upon
my canvass for the posi-
ton to which / aspire, I
referred to my past life,
which, until the last eight
years, was one Of advent
ure, IN consequence of
the poverty of my pa
rents, and the few ad-
vantages 1 had in early
youth. l commenced to
labor for my own liveli-
hood, and to assist in the
support of my father and
mother, at the early age
Iof ID years. At that age
most boys are under the
Influence of domestic dis
cipline, and have the adj
vantage Of regular educa-
tional training. Is it,
Therefore, strange that 1
should have committed
errors in my early life =?
There are few boys that
have not been guilty of a
trif1ing assault and bat
terry. IF I had had influ-
entail parents and friends
| I would have been per-
mitted, probably, to have
escaped with a repri-
mand, but, having no one
to say one kind word for
me--a poor, rough boy,
working in a foundry
suffered the slight penalty
due my boyish folly.
