4 Legal Decision.

The following anecdote illustrating the
legal subtlety of HindoO, is told by DIR.
Scudder, of Brooklyn, formerly a mission
airy in India. Four men, partners in bust
ness. bought some cotton bales. That the
rats might not destroy the cotton, they
purchased a cat. They agreed that each OF
tho -four should own particular leg of the
cat, and each adorned with beads and other
ornaments the leg thus appOrtiOned to him.
The cal, by accident, injured one of its
legs. The owner Of that member wound
around it a rag soaked in oil. The cat, go
ing too near the hearth, set this rag on fire,
and being in great pain, rush d in among
the cotton bales where she was accustomed
TO hunt rats. The cotton thereby took fire
and was burned up. II was total loss
The three other partners brought suit to
recover the value of the cotton, against the
partner who owned this particular leg OF
the cat. The judge examined the case and
decided thus. The leg that had the oiled
rag on it was hurt the cat could not use
that leg-in fact, it held up the leg. and ran
with the other three legs. The three I'M
hurt legs. therefore, carried the fire to the
cotton, and alone are culpable. The three
partners who owned the three legs with
which the cat ran to the cotton will pay
the whole value of the bales to the partner
who was the proprietor of the injured leg.

Law of Railroad Depois.

Platforms and Stairways about railroad
station have often given rise to lawsuits
where the station master has allowed them
to get out Of repair or into bad condition
and q traveller has been hurt in conse-
uucnce. While Andrew Johnson was Pres
ident, he made trip over the Pennsiya-
MIA road. and wherever the train stopped at
any way stations, the people gathered To
look ai him and get speech. At Johns
town the station broke down under the
weight of the unusual crowd. One of the
pers0n- that was hart sued the company,
and proved that the platform was old and
the timberS dccayed. The court inquired
whether he had come to the station 10 take
the train. and he said ''No he was only
there to see the President" The court said
if that were the case lie had no ground to
sue, for the company was not bound TO keep
a strong platform for a crowd of sight-seeTs.
Bui ne said if any passengers were injured
hy the defect, or even any person who had
ocme to meet passenger or see one OF, he
could recover damages. \ station master
on the New jersey railroad allowed n hole
in the floor Of his station to 90 unmendcd,
until one day lady passenger, ON dlighting
from the cars. caught her foot in it and fell
and was badly hurt. Al Wells River de
pot there was Il flight Of steps to the plat
form. The depot master did not keep the
Steps properly lighted at night, and a lady
passenger who had come 10 take night
train, in cropping about in the dark to feel
her way. fell down the steps and hurt her
hip 50 as to become cripple for life. The
court said in both these cases the company
must pay. Al one OF the stations of the
New YORK elevated road the people in
charge allowed the steps and platforms TO
get icy. from rain and snow falling and
freezing; and passenger slipped, fell and
was permanently hurt, 50 badly that the
inrv gave him $4,000 damages. The
! Judges said that this was right. The agents
of railroad companies must take more than
mere ordinary care in keeping theiI floors
and platforms in safe condition for pas
sengers; they are bound to use ''all such
reasonable precautions against injury as
human sagacity and foresight can suggest.
And so in a variety of Other instances, the
companies havs had To pay heavy damages
10 passengers, because the platforms were
neglected.

with painful interest, deciding on only one
thing-that she must not renew her circus
life. At first she INSISTED on joining the
company as soon as she was well enough,
but finally yielded to his suggestion-study
for the stage. as she had considerable dra-
matte talent This she did with Miss
Fanny Morant, and with such success that
she felt warranted in making her appear
ance in the Two Orphans" 1t is needless
to say that the young lawyer paid the ey-
penSes of her dramatic training and furnish
ed her outfit, but it is needful to add that
all his efforts for her " ere made with a
disinterestedness as rare rs it was beautiful
in the generosity of man toward woman.
especially toward the woman who IS loved,
Her confidence iu his honor he held sacred
by upholding hers, and it so happened, that
afterward. while on a Southern trip, they
played in st. Louis, and among the audi
eDce was her husband, who at once recog-
niZed her. The next day sic received
long letter from him, expressing sincere
repentance for the past. acknowledging his
lack of courage. and adding that his sister
was now dead. and that If she would Tt
turn he would devote he re.laiuder of his
life in making her happy.
This letter she sent 10 the man who had
so generously befrieuded her, with note
saying that 10 him she owed everything,
and promising to follow his decision. Re
alizing that the offer meant for her honor,
comfort and peace, he answered her in one
word, Return, which she did, and is now
settled in her own home in st. Lonis.

Origin of Croquer.

Croquet players will be interested in the
origin of the game. CrUquct is not, as
many suppose, of modern birth, but may
be traced through its various stages TO Per-
sia as far back as the eighth centure.-lts
origin was polo, with the Persians played
with a long handled mallet, called chu.gdn.
In the ninth century the game made its
war into the Eastern Empire, the original
mallet changing lis form to long staff end
ing in a broad bend filled with network
of gut strings. 'sThuS, says writer on
the subject, ''there appeared in the East as
belonging to the great sport of ball play on
horseback, the first shapes Of two imple-
menis which remOdeled the whole play life
of medieval modern Europe, the chUgdn
being the ancestor of the mallets used In
croauet, and of an endless variety of other
playing clubs and bats, while the bent stall,
with its network, was primitive racket.
We find that the original ball games in
which sticks were used were played on
horseback, and instead of polo being an
outgrowth OF these sports played on foot
the latter are the changes made in the Per
sian game of cAugan, which, as has been
said. waf the parent of all our games in
which artificial means are used to propel the
/ ball. The translation from the chugdn OF
| Persia TO the handled mallet used on
| foot was easy and natural, and the substitu-
ton of a club came by gradual stages, the
hand being probably the original imple'
ment. which was superseded by a rounded
sick.

A Gold Mine i'm n Cow.

One of the most remarkable cows on re-
cord is the Goth Duchess of Airdric, y
owned hv the Hon. Mat. Cochran, of Nova
Scotia. which has just given birth to her
ninth calf, red heifer, to he named the
s.Sth duchess of Hillhurstn by Sd Duke OF
Oneida. OF the 10th Duchess, and her
daughters calves Mr.. Cochran has sold
the following animals at the prices named:
In the winter of 1873 the bull calf, 4th
Duke of Hillhurst, at s., 600; at public auc-
tion in Toronto, June IL, 1879, the bull
calf. 9TH Duke of Hillhursi. two months old
at IS. 000, and the heifcr Airdrie Duchess
9TH. eight months old at SIS, OO0; at auc-
tion sale in Toronto, June 18th, 1876,
the COW Airdrie Duchess ID, at S2l 900,
and the hcifer Airdrie Duchess Sd, al S23,
600. In August, 1861, privately, the heif-
er 9th Duches of Iiillhurst at $4,000; and
at public sales at Bowness, Windmere,
England, Sept. 4, 1877, the heifer Sd
Duchess and 9TH Duchess Of Hillhurst at
So. 100 and 81, 800 grlineas each, or $40

10Th Duchess, ,Airdrie Duchess 4th, 9Th

mails by death. The above result has
never perhaps been equaled by any one an
imal at the same age In December, 1873,
an offer of S25, 600 for the 10th Duchess,
was refused, and the same former daughter
Airdrie Duchess 10TH. Since then the old

A writer in a Western paper tells how he
was blasting with gunpo~der some large
and tough logs. From one OF the logs thus

from the log. A strange crease appeared
about the neck Just back of the head,
which found to be caused by stout

the serpent had grown until it was sunk al
most out of view. Cutting this thong and

ear She thinks il is her lovers foOtstep,
and turning away her head to listen, a sec
ond only. and she turns again to see her
priced and fated ring carried from her in
the heak OF a raven which had been hover
ing over her head.
With cry of despair the girl leaps from
the rock 10 meet her lover and TO pour into
his ear the sad tale of her loss.
To the TeutOnic mind of Hans this event
is annoying as involving the loss of the ring
but otherwise not overwhelming.
'After all another ring can be got where
that come FROM he said lightly Don't
spoil your pretty eyes, my Elsa by crying
after the bauble."
Then Elsa tells him with faltering tongue
and white checks of the old sibyrs proph-
ecy ''My happiness goes with that ring, g"
she cries passionately, looking up at the
ravens nest overiangIng the edges of the
rock far above her head, where the bird has
retired with his prey.
''lf that be So said the young lover,
smiling, yet moved by the anguish of her
face, ''you shall very soon have it back
again-both ring and the happiness"
Before the girl is well aware of what he
is about he has begun climbing, hand over
hand, the rugged face of the steep gorge,
clinging here to a bush, and there to stone
and hanging now and again over the abyss
on the strong arm of tree.
''Siav. Stay,n cries the gypsy, as she
watches her lovers progress with horrible
fascination. Come back! Alas, the ring
is not worth your danger to me. What
have 1 Said."
But the young man, excited now with
the sense Of an exploit almost achieved,
sends back a reassurlng shout, and pursues
his pcrilous way upward. One more spring
and the prize is his.
He stretches his hand over the nest from
which the scared bird rises supporting him
self meanwhile on clump of gOrse which
overhangs the torrent.
Elsa, seized with a Sudden presentment
of evil, shudders and covers her eyes with
her hands. \ horrible sound of something
falling heavily beside her makes her start
away and look.
Al her feet lies the body of her lover, the
last faint breath of life but now fluttering
from his white lips while in his tightly
clinched hand he still holds the prize for
which he had siriven-her ring.
Three days aficrward some of the gypsy
tribe, searching for the lost Elsa, who has
been for this lime missing, coming upon a
white-faccd, scared and ghost-like creature
sitting in the roar Of the waterfall. beside a
dead and mutilaled body, To which she is
still chlttering plaintive words of fond en-
doarmcnt, and tender reproach for its silent
coldncSs. The gypsies carried the body Of
the young man to the abbey, where he WAS
buried. and removing their camp from the
ncighborhood. took the unfortunate Elsa
with them.
But the glen where her happiness and her
mis- ~ had IN turn come to her had a weird
charm for her unquiet spirit, which no dis
tancecould alter. She found her way back
again to her favorile haunt. and not many
months afterward lay down with "A child's
wearineSs to die on the spot where her low
er'slifc and her own reason had alike left
her.
