In an indirect way the supreme court of
Pennsylvania has been called upon to decide
the important question as to whethera woman
has any legal right to wear stays. 1t calamity
says she has. The matter found its way into
court after this fashion: \ lady was riding in
IA horse car, not crowded, perhaps, but contain
ing ladies enough To cover all the seats with
their dresses so that the traveller had to stand
up The car stopped suddenly and she fell
over, breaking her kneepan, She sued for
damages. The company claimed contrbutory
negligence on her part, in that she did not
take hold Of the strap, that is provided for
standing passengers. She set up on the other
hand that she could not reach or hold the
strap, owing to the stays which she wore. and
that with the present fashions no lady can do
So ut least without Inconvenience and possible
injury. The lower court decided that the lady,
in taking hold of "a fellow passengers hand,
had done all that was necessary, and that I'M
der the circumstances, she was not obliged to
strech up to the strap. Ii awarded her about
$1,000. and the supreme court, reviewing the
case, declines to interfere 1t is ii question OF
some sociological importance to know how
this decision would be received by the sex. At
first glance ii looks like declaration in favor
of womans rights, but it will surely stand an
alysiS as such. II amounts really to the Off,
Cial proclamation that woman shall remain
cramped, barrcled up, and unable to lit her
arms, and content only with clnglng to some
other persons hand for support. And this is
what modern dress amounts tO.-E'r,

Hct the Nations Birthday.

CuEsTERTowN, N. Y, July g.
The Hon. William L. Stone read
the Declaration of independence
at the celebration here to-day,
and prefaced it with a few re-
marks in reference to the sign
ing of the instrument and the
part taken in itby the New York
delegation. He said that the
first action looking toward the
independence of the colonies was
taken by the Congress on May
Is, and the final vote taken ON
the I'd of July, which day should
be celebrated instead Of the 4th.
1t has been averred, on high
authority, that the New York
delegates, during the debate
and the final voting, remained
passive, as thy deemed the whole
subject Of separation outside of
their instructions. But to sup
pose George Clinton, who was
conspicuous for his pronounced
views against the Crown, and
who had been elected q delegate
to the Congress chiefly. on that
account, or Robert r. Livings-
ton, one of the five who report
ed the Declaration, as passive, is
to accuse them of grave incon-
sistency. The reason why the
New York delegates did not
vote on the I'd OF July was be-
cause they had no instructions
from the Congress OF the colony,
and at that time the colony was
everything, the delegates to the
Continental Congress being mere
ly its agents for war purposes.
A new Provisional Congress for
New York, elected for the sole
purpose Of acting on the Decla-
ration, on the 9th Of July, pass
ed a resolution unanimously op-
posing it.
Neither was the Declaration
signed on the 4th of July, nor by
lall cf 'alegates at the same

Very often persons have a palpi-

sours on the stomach. The sides
tremble, there is difficulty in breath

strength, if any OF these symptoms
exist you may conclude you are
dyspeptic, or, that your liver is out

From the Daily Of Thursday.
BRUTAL.-The sailors belonging
to the barkentine Modoc, which is
beached near the old Seattle coal
bunkers, for some days have been
in the habit of bathing in the vicini-
ty of the vessel. When it is under
stood that a number of respectable
families live within a stones-throw
of the barkentine the brutality of
the sailors conduct will be app-e-
ciated. Certainly the authorities
should make these vagabouds under
stand that they are within the limits
of civilization, not in the South
seas.
Go1NG BELow.-The tug Donald,
Capt. Rogers, will leave the Sound
this week, going to San Franci: CO.
The business here will not warrant
her further stay.

/Ben Brown was married, in
st. Louis, at 4 o'clock. One hour
previous to the ceremony the
Sky was clear. Suddenly storm
burst over the city, and, amid a
torrent of rain, .no ceremony
was performed. A year later a
baby gladdened their hearts,
and, few weeks afterward, he
was taken to the same church
to be baptized by the same
priest, at the same hour, when
the same atmospherical condi-
tions that had attended the mar
riage ceremony prevailed. A
few days ago a second child was
carried to the same altar for
at 4 o'clock, and, altho'
not a cloud was to be aeen at
three, the rain descended in tor
rents as the priest sprinkled the
infants brow with holy water.

SEATTLE CoAL.-While passing a
coal house yesterday our attention
was attracted by a pile Of handsome
coal which we stepped inside to
examine. We were truly astonish-
ed at its excellence, and more so
when We we're informed that it came
from Seattle. We have seen thou
sands of tons dumped upon the San
Francisco docks from almost every
quarter of the globe, and verify we
believe it would equal nine-tenths
receive in that city during the
year.-POrtlaad Standard.
Nor TRUE.-The report current
this morning that the steamer Libby
had sunk in Fidalgo Bay, is incor-
rect; she grounded, but was soon
got off, and arrived at the wharf to-
day in good condition.
The Walla Walla Watchmaa says
that men who continually shoot off
their mouth about what they would
do if they were Gen. Howard sell
dom ever shoot off a gun in defense
of their country, unless out Of meat,
in which case they might shsot a
hog in the ear.

How Would IL Look?

TIE President is credited with saying
that the result of the election in the
Southern States would have been differ
ent had some eminent Northern republi-
can speakers gone down there to take
part IN the canvass. This is very true,
but respectable and influential Northern
republicans would hardly go down to ask
the Southern voters to elect to Congress
such men as many who held the republi-
can nominations there. How, for in
stance, would Senator Conkling or Sena-
tor Blaine have felt urging the voters of
Louisiana to send Madison Wells or
"Tom" Anderson or Chief Justice Ludc-
ling to Congress? Yet these were all re-
publican and greenback candidates.
What effect would have been produced
had these three worthless exchanged
stumps with Mr.. Conklng and General
Hawley and gone through New York
and Connecticut advocating the republi
can and greenback cause The Northern
republican orators knew what they were
about when they declined to speakin the
South for Southern republican candi-
dates; they were not inclined to dirty
themselves with such company.-N. Y.
Herald.
