The Bottom of the Sea.

The Boston Post says; The explora-
tons of the Bsitish steamer Challenger
which have just been published on this
side Of the water, mark great advance
in one department of science, Till with
in few years, it was an accepted theory
/ Nlatlthe bottom of the sea, below mod
crate depth at least, was entirely destitute
Of animal and vegetable life. 1t was de
clared that this must be So because it
was settled that an animal at depth of
1000 fathoms would have TO bear weight
of a ton on the square inch, the pressure
increasing with the depth. But the dred
ging of the Challenger upset this notion
as completely as tue revolving earth ig.
nores the Rev, John Jasper. From depths
varying from 1000 to 1000 fathoms,
there were brought up the most curious
and delicate specimens of deep-sea fau
ma. The experiment was repeated in all
the oceans. In fact. the conclusion was
reached that the distribution of living
animals has no depth-limit. The size,
however, generally diminishes at Ger.
tain limit Of depth. The mean depth OF
the Atlantic, was found to be little ovel

Should Farmers go to Law?

Law is like seine; you may Sc
through it. but youmust be considerabl
reduced before you get through it
have lived 50 years, and have never We
sued a man, and only once, and in thi
instance as trustee Of society, have
been sued. Or course have had to los
some bills that might have been eollee
ted, and have had to pay few unins
claimes, but on the whole it is clearly ap
parent that there is cash advantage il
keeping out of law Law suits are an ex
pensive luxury that wise men shonlt
avoid as they would pestilence Foi
one, | deal with no man who is in th,
habit of having law suits.
When men disagree, as they often will
and honestly too, how much cheaper
aud more satisfactory their differences
can be settled by peaceful arbitration
than to apply to the courts, where one
will "get beat even though he wins.
wish every farmers club organized in
our land would pledge themselves to adopt
this manner of settling their dificnl
ties.
Few are aware Of the expense of the
courts, supported by taxation, mainly
paid by the farmers In this county We
have, on the average, court IN session
for every day in the year, Sundays not
excepted, kept up at an expense of thou
sands of dollars, to say nothing Of the
time lost by jnries and witnesses, as we'll
as the parties engages. Any one who
supposes that justice always or even
generally, prevails. can NOT have look
ed very closely into the true "inwardness'
OF our courts Why will not farmers col.
lectvely and firmly set their faces against
SO much law :? They can, if they will, eur
tail our courts greatly, and put the mon
ey in their pockets or rather keep it
there) by the operation.
When one commences a law suit, lit
tie can he foreteH when or where 1t will
end. A few years ago two wealthy farm
ers in adjoining county differed about
their line fence, each claiming a strip of
about four feet wide. They went to law
and both farms were absorbed in vain
attempt to settle the question Of who had
the best claims to the land know a case
where one mill owner sued another for
"back-water." The RESULT is, neither owns
a dollar in these mills
Still another case was this. A dairy
mans COW tresspassed on the farm of his
neighbor, who applied to Justice for
relief, and was awarded "one dollar"
Dissatisfied at this small verdict. it was
carried to the County Court, where three
trials were had, the jury disagreeing each
time. On the fourth trial he was aWar-
ded fifteen dollars and costs The costs
have now become the main bone of con
tention, the original claim being nearly
lost sight of OF course, the defendant
has carried it up Both men being un
commonly "spuuky," the probabilities are
that this case will run on until both are
ruined. In the meantime the lawyers are
in high glee.
Cases like the above might be men
toned by tho score. Your readers can
recall plenty of just such instances.
They are so common as almost to escape

The MISSOURI REPUBLICAN,
In the Front Rank Of American Journals,
INDEPENDENCE, CANDoR, CONSERVATISM,
ENTERPRISE, VIdoR.


The election of 1877 over, to congress will
all eyes turn to witness the course of political
events in America. Questions of vital inter-
est are pressing for settlement, and the dis
cussion bids fair to be prolonged and absorb
ing. The subjects of Finance, Publication,
Internal improvements, Ciyil-Seryic Reform,
and Mexican Border Troubles, &c, are among
those which must largely occupy the public
mind The proper development of the re-
sources ofthe West and South, by means of
an improved condition ofriyer and railroad
transportation facilities-the utilization ofun-
employed labor in needed public works-the
encouragement of immigration to the fertile
lands OF the Great West. are matters of ma
tional. as well as of local concern. Scarcely
less important is the support of all measures,
by whomsoever originated, aided or Endorsed,
giving to the southern states full and free
control OF their own aflairs-the only policy
leading to permanent peace. The state leg
islatures, especially to elect United States
senators, will also be invested with interest,
as upon them and the elections of 1878 will
devolve the decision as to whether the reins
of political power shall continue to be held
by the Republican party, the tenure of that
power now hanging by but Il slender thread.
Upon these and kindred subjects the Re-
publican. which gives an earnest advocacy to
the principles of the constitutional Democra-
cy, will always be found battling in the ranks
'htih"S, WI hiHS people
of the West and South And whilst sparing
no effort to obtain and promulgate the most
reliable information relative to American pol
tiles, the Republican Will maintain its past
reputation for the collection of all important
and interesting news from all quarters of the
globe Affairs in the Eastern hemisphere,
now occupying so much attention, will not
be omitted in the design of making this pa
per regular chronicler of the exciting intel
ligence of the day land whatever enterprise
and lavish expenditure can do will be en-
ployed to produce frst-cass news and fam
lily journal.
