The argument in the Atlantic, mississippi
and Ohio railroad case was resumed before
Judges Bond and Hughes yesterday morn
ing. Judge Green, OF New York, spoke In
favor OF the petition OF the Dutch bond
holders. He undertook to vindcate "these
wretched, growing, sniyeliiDg Dutchmen )"
from the aspersions Of Mr.. McFarlane. He
acknowledged, too, that the road utterly
had been we'll managed; but for that he
gave credit rather to the Court and its
officers than to the trustees. Replying again
to MIR. McFarane, he maintained that the
sidiocy" OF the Dutchmen was shown. If
at all, not when they filed this petition ask
ing to be made parties to the suit. but when
they entrusted their money to Mr.. Collin
SOD.
The charges against the trustees were
1st. That the trustees had failed to keep the
Dutch committee advised OF proceedings
in this cause; I'd. That the trustees are act
ing at the dictation of the English bond
holders with the purpose Of giving the
English control OF the road. The Dutch
and English are about equal holders OF
bonds, Judge Green stated. The excuse
made to Mr.. Parish by counsel OF trustees
for not notifying the Dutchmen OF applica-
tons affecting their interest was that they
were "not parties to the action" This de-
feet the petition designed to remedy, and it
was shown to be the more necessary since
Mr.. McFarane had come here ana openly DC
fed the cestui Qui trust, and declared that
"the trustees would advise and sympath!zc
with whom they please"
Judge Green went over The history OF the
organization Of the two committees across
the water with the view OF showing that
from the beginning Mr.. Collnson had been
the handspring of the English committee.
and that the Dutchmen had never been
fairly treated by CollinSon d Co., and that
the trustees and their counsel were not act
ing as they should be for the whole body OF
| bondholders, but for the EngIishmen.
Judge Green claimed that the rules OF
law permitted the cestui Qui trust to como
| in and look after their own interests in cases
like this, where the trustees are hostile. IN
conclusion, he said that. these poor unfortu
nate Idiots" threw themselves upon the
mercy of the Court "and asked to be res
cued from the clutches OF CollinSon."

SOME TIME.

Some time when all life's lessons have, beenl
learned,
Aud sun and stars forever more have set,
The things which our weak judgment here has
The thingyo eg which we grieasd With l'shes
Will fash before us out of life's dark night,
AS stars shine most in deeper tints Of blue,
And we shall see that all Gods plans we're right,
And how what seemed reproof was love most
true.
And we shall see while we frown and sigh,
Gods plans go on as best for you and me-
How, when we called, he needed not our cry,
Because his wisdom to the end could sec;
And cen as prudent parents disallow,
Too much Of sweet to craving babyhood,
So God perhaps is keeping from us now
Iifes sweetest things because it seemeth good,
And if sometimes, commingled with life wine
We find the wormwood, and rebel and shrink,
De sure wiser hand than yours and mine
Pours out this potion for our lips to drink.
And if some friend we love is lying low,
Where human kisses cannot reach his face
Oh, do not blame the loving Father so,
But bear your sorrow with obedient grace.
AnA SS8p saa g1heg!ly know what lengnsnss
And that, sometimes, the sable pail of death
Conccals the fairest boon his love can send.
If we could push ajar the gates of life,
And stand within and all Gods workings see
We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And foi each mystery could find key.
But not to day. Then be content, poor heart
Gods plans, like lilies pure and white, un
fold;
VIC must not tear the closc-shut leaves apart
Time llreveal the calyxes of gold.
And if, through patient toll we reach the land
Where tired feet with eaDlals 1ooSe nna,
rest,
When we shall clearly know and understand,
1 think that we will say that "God know
best"

DlPliIHERlA AND DElLTH.-NOC II long ago
there occurred a. Newport, r T., the deaths
of six persons in family of eight, within
fifteen days, all dying of malignant diph-
tharis 81, remarkable an invasion of a
dangerous disease naturally aroused the at.
tcntion Of the authorities, and the Mayor
OF Newport, properly employed Col. Geo.
Il. Waring, Jr., as Sanitary Enginccr, to
examine and report upon the condition of
the premises. From this report We learn
that the cottage is healthfully situated, with
cellar under all Of the main portion, but
there is small addition, one story high
outside of the main foundation this is used
as rear entrance, and contains sink and
ater>closot; and is only separated from
the rest of the house by a thin board
partition. The sink, in frequent use, had
an imperfect ltrap, and this and the
watcr.closet emptied into cesspool which
had had J! not been e!eaesd out for several years.
ton OF scullery, was raised upd}R btas paaaaaii paaaaai
about two feet above the surface of the
ground, with the space beneath closely
boarded. In this space was the leadcn pine
from the water closet, connecting with an
carthenwaac pipe leading to the cesspool-
Sca-weed had been at some time used
around these pipes to keep them from frecz-
ing. The examination showed that, through
some cause, whether by frost, corrosion, or
the gnawing of rats, the lower bend of the
leaden pipe, leading from the water closet,
and which was intended to serve as trap,
had broken through and the deposits of the
water ercloset, instead of being carried off, in
good part oozcd through the hole in the pipe,
and spread themselves ovor the soil and sea-
weed, under this addition, for the extent of
a square yard or more. How this state of
affairs could have existed and not aroused
attention, it is not necessary to discuss
This is what was found; six children are
dead, and it is no stretch Of the probabilities
to connect the one with the other. 1t is not
offensive matter Of this kind alone that is
to be found near houses, in both city and
country. Many house with fine front
yard has faulty kitchen drain Nor is
diphtheria the only disease that is favored
by such conditions; typhoid and other fevcrs
may be directly traced to want of proper
care in carrying off the wastes of the house
too often country houses. The case of
this Newport family is distressing one,
but if it will arouse general attention, all
over the country, to this matter of house
draining and this shall lead to remcdying
all defects in the disposal of the waste ma,
terials, the calamity will, not have been in
vain. -

CARE OF WINTER BED-cLoTHEs IN

good suggestions about the keeping of un-
used bedding. Before she came West she
had plenty Of good 'roomy closets, but now
she lives in house with only one clothes

box, turned up on one side, with cleats nail
ed on the ends the inside the box, for two
shelves, affords room to pile away her bed
quilts nicely folded and then she covers
them with newspapers, tucked under all
across the front, so as to exclude dust
From the top Of the box she hangs cur.
tain, and covers the whole with cloth or
with paper, using the fiat top for table to
lay piles of papers and magazines which
she wishes L. preserve. have previously
described a table made of dry goods box,
by turning it on one side and elevatine Il
on legs. Such tables arc excellent places
for packing comforters and quilts. Tho

paste or dough- made of -four and hot wa.
ter. Lay in a dripping pan, with the paste
covered side upwards, with enough water
to keep it from burning. Bake until q fork
pierces it easily, allowing about twenty five
minutes to each pound of the ham. Basic
occasionally with tho drippings. to prevent
the crust of paste from cracking off. When
done, peel off this crust and remove the
skin of the ham. 1t may be served as it
is, or it may be glazed.
10 GLAZE A HAM.-Brush them over
with beaten egg. TO a cup of finely pow.

than anybody, and always makes the school
superintendent's arm tired cutting notches
in his stick to tally the points she makes on
examination day. She can ride bareback
the cussedest mustang that ever was foaled
and can dance anything from the dance of
death down to a double.shuffie on cedar

crops for the last two years have left the
farmers Of Kansas all in comfortable cir

sufficient to insure our merchants good

if by magic-and every additional settler
makes additional business for the merchant.
All Of this trade cannot, of course, be

OF their share of the States business Not

SILVER.

We publish elsewhere this morning the
three-minute speech by Mr.. Phillips, Of
this district, in closing the debate in the
House OF Representatives, on the silver
bill. Ii is gratifying to the friends of Mr.,
Phillips to know that his policy prevailed
over that of General Ewing, and was ac,
cepted by the silver men in the House
Phillips, though opposed to the Senate
amendments, advocated the passage OF the
bill as the best that could be had under
present circumstances; Ewing favored the
rejection of the amendments, the reference
of the bill to a committee, and by that
means would have defeated the whole meas
ure. Mr.. Phillips believed that a
"half loaf would be better
than no bread" and the House agreed with
him. He enumerated several features that
should have been in the bill
free coinage, bullion certificates, &c.
but all these can be reached by subee-
quent legislation. He argued that the
great point was TO remonetize the old dollar,
and after that Congress could arrange the
details at its leisure. The speech was
necessarily brief, but it is able and sound /;
it contains no superfuous words, and has a
point in every line.
