The owner of il steam saw mill in

ot a Methodist church, from which
he was expelled, as he says, to
Crafty the personal spite of the pas

services of his own, and to make
them effective, be obtained pow>
erful calliope and attached it to the
steam-boiler of his mill. On Sun
days the voice of the Methodist
preacher is drowned by the sound
of the calliope, as it screeches "The
Sweet BY and By" and other

rules that the use of the calliope on
Sunday for sacred mnsic Is legal.
The question has been carried to

The Supreme Court of Ohio has
decided that where a drunken and
unruly passenger is put of rail-
road train, and is then run over by
another train, the company is not
liable. it was the duty of the con.
siucfor TO protect other Passengers
against him by rjecting him, and if
he was too drunk to take care of
himself after that, it was only his
own fault. Similar law has been
laid down in New York and in most
of the other States OF the Union,

that if a man will get drunk, th e

sented in the Radical National Con-
vention, will vote for him solidly.
California, now that Hayes has adj
hered to the law and constitution
and lost that State, will cooperate
with the South and Grant will be
nominated. 1t will require only one
or two States besides those he holds

the candidate of his party. He can

divide Texas into five States, SO as
to increase the political strength OF
the South in the United States
Senate. We never could see the
sense or justice in giving the little
New England States tue same mum
ber of Senators that are given such
States as New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio. Illinois, Indiana, Missouri and
Texas. Texas is nearly six times
as large as Penh sylvania, and some
Of her counties are mu..h larger than
the hole State of Delaware, and
yet she has the same represenIatio
