ADEcIsIoN FOR THE DENVER COMPANY.

DECISION FOR THE DENVER CoMfhN1'
THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT GRANTS THE
RIGHT OF WAY THROUGH HE GRAND CANON OF
THE ARKANSAS To THE DENVER AND RIO GRANDE
RAILROAD-sALIENT POINTS OF TIE DECISION
The United States Supreme Court has rendered
an important decision in the controversy between
the Denver and Rio Grande Railway Company and
the Canon City and San Juan Railway Company as TO
the occupancy ard of the Grand Canon OF
the Arkansas. Discoveries of mineral wealth III
Western Colorado have given as the evidence
showed great value to this pass, since the occu-
pancy Of il by one line of railroad would practically
prohibit all other competing companies from using
It for like purposes, except upon the terms the hrst
occupant might dictate. BY this decision the
prior right of the Denver Company to use the
Grand Canon for the purpose of constructing us
road thereon is recognized, and the Canon CITY
Company is enjolned from interference Where
there Is room for only one road-bed III the pass
both roads are to be allowed to use the same track
Wherever the Canon City Company during the
pendency of these proceedings has constructed It's
road-bed in the parts of the pass that will admit oil
only one road-bed the costs of such construction
are to be equitably apportioned between the two
companies. Chief-Justice Waite presents dissent
ing opinion.

PRICES But INCREASED CONSUMPTION.
The American Iron and Steel Association holds
its annual convention at Pttsburg to-day. The re-
port of the secretary, Mr.. James NJ. Swsnk, shows
that the production of pig metal in 1873 was
greater than in any previous wear since 1874, and
indicates that the output for 1879 will equal that
of the exceptionally productive years of 1872 and
1873. This gratifying improvement is accounted
for by the increasing business of the foundries and
machine shops, and the great growth of the Besse-
mer steel industry. The following is an abstract OF
the report prepared from advance sheets.

Las, Monday being the s4th birthday of

Last Monday being the s4th birthday of
Mother Filler, she was sRreeably sur
prised by some Of her lady friends entering
her quiet little home, and proceeding to
take charge Of things in general. A very
short time elapsing after their arrival they
escorted they aged friend to ga table laden
Aith most bountiful repAst. The friends
thing il not best in her state of health to
make it an entire surprise; one of their
number called on her in the morning tell
ing her as i. was her birth day, two or
three of her friends would drop in and
take dinner with her. She with feeling Of
regret said to her informant, ! can not get
dinner for you. When being assured that
they intended TO get dinner for her, che
wspt for joy, her feelings would not per-
NIT hsr to express her gratitude, and when
attempting at the table to return thanks to
the giyer of all good gifts. che could not
give utterances to her words. The few
hours her friends spent with her will nc
doubt be bright place in their memories,
as theytook their departure we are satisfied
they retured to their homes with lighter
hearts, feeling better for making one heart
gladder, and cheering the pathway Of ar
aged friend, as she is journeying rapidly
towards her future home.

1t is probably generally remembered
that some years ago-in 1s73-Conssess
passed law providing for the erection oi
durable headstones over the graves Of SOL
diers of the regular and volunteer forces
of the United States whose remains are
inferred in the National Military Gene
teries. This Law has been carried out, and
the graves OF sbe Nations dead in these
cemeteries are now permanently marked
At the instance of the War Department,
Congress has recently authorized the erect.
ion of a similar headstone over the grave.
of the Union soldiers who are buried
in private and village cemeteries. This
will be done as soon as the necessary ar.
rangements can be made. In the mean.
time the Quartermaster General. at Wash
ington, will at once proceed to collect the
necessary information as to where these
headstones are required.
All persons having any knowledge as to
the burial places of soldiers in private
cemeteries whose graves are marked, are
requested to communicate the fact to the
Quartermaster General, and give regiment,
company, and date of death of deceased
Unknown. Similar information is desired
from parties in charge of such cemeteries
OF course it is not intended to furnish
headstones for graves overwhich monu.
ments have already been erected by rela.
tives or friends of the deceased.

Evil Companions.

Society is the atmosphere Of souls. and
We necessarily imbibe something which Ia
either infections or enjoyed beyond their
company, while vice carries . sting into
solitude. The society, or the company
you keep, is both the indication of your
character and the former Of il. In COM
pany when the pores of the mind are open
Cd, there requires more guard than usual,
because the mind is then passive. Either
vicious company will please you, or II
will not; if il does not please you, the
end Of your lgoing will be defeated. You
will 6nd your reverence for the dictates
Of conscience wearsof, and that name al
which angels bow and devils trsmble you
will hear condemned and abused Th'
Bible will supply material for unmeaninl
jssts or impious buffoonery; the conse
quence of this will be practical deviation
into vice; the princips will become sap
ped and the fences OF conscience broker
down; and when dsbauchery has corrupted
the character, . total inversion will TAX
place, as the apostle sparks, they glory il
their shame.

MODERN SOCIALISM.

1t is not generally known that the late
Jopn Stuart Mill, perhaps the ablest of
modern writers on political and social
scince, commenced in the year 1869 book
on Socialism, which, if it had been COM
pleted, would probably have been recoe-
nized as the greatest of his works. Manu-
script chapters of the incomplete work
have recently been drought to light, and
are found so nearly complete in themselves,
and so ably to discuss questions now most
prominent in the public thought. that a
London Review, and also The Library Mag
asine of New York are publishing them.
They are annouced to appear in book form
on April 25th, published by the AMERl-
CAN Book EXCHANGE, New York. The
price, postpaid, in cloth, will be 80 cents
or in paper 25 cents. 1t is work which
all students of political and social topics,
and all enlightened citizens, will be eglad to
read
The Somerset press. [volume] (Somerset, Ohio) 1873-1977, 1879-04-10

THE LIBRARY MAGAzrNE for March /,
just issued, will delight all who appreciate
the highest class of literature. Think of
it, 12S elegantly printed pages, all for 10
cents, or $1.00 s.year! The leading article,
"Chapters on Socialism," from unpuhlish
ed manuscript Of the late John Stuart Mill,
is certainly the ablest writing which has
recently appeared on this topic. R. A.
PYoctor's article on artificial Somnambu-
lism" will attract both those that are Gu
rious and those who are interested in sci
ence. Thomas Hughes gives an entertain
ing sketch of the once famous but nearly
forgotten VIM, Cobbett. Bonamy Price,
Professor Blaekie, Jebb and Ward supply
able articles of special interest to scholars
and students of the classes and history
