Paris Letter.
PARIS, Sept. ODD, 1879.


The following extraordinary resolution
has just been passed by the conseil-gener.
al of the Rhone, very radical body
Considering that ceibacy is contrary to
nature and the ends of providence, to be
born, to bear children, and to die, being
the law imposed on all who exist,
that it is bachelors, military men, sailors,
lawyers and men Of all conditions who fill
all the states with corrupt opinions and
evil morals. that churchmen, trappists,
and all the SO called higher world are
irremediably given up to debauchery and
to shame, which is worse than death
Resolved, The support of abandoned chill
dren will be provided for, by deduction of
n quarter of the pay or pension of every
employee or pensioner who is a bachelor,
and resident in the department of the
Rhone, from the most modest employee
up to the highest official, who belongs
or has belonged 10 the army, magistraoy,
or any public administration whatsoever"
'' And the great citizens" cxclaims an
evening paper, "who vote these absurdi-
lies are the elect of the second town in
Francc!'

aires" NJ. Spuller has just published. in

A. &. Meeker, the Indian agent who
has recently been murdered at the White
River agency, is said to have been an
exception to the usual run of Indian
agents. He spent great deal of his
lifetime in social reforms for the benefit of
humanity, and when the Utes murdered
him they took the life of a friend. He
was born near Cleveland, Ohio, and first
came prominently before the public when,
as successor to Scion Robinson, agrieul-
tural editor on the New York Tribune, he
so advocated social cooperative move
ments that colony of one hundred and
fifty persons was formed, which settled
ut Roselle, N. j., TO carry out his views
In 1869, he went to Colorado; he returned
only to organize company of 600 families
which went out and established the town
of Greeley on the Denver Pacific railroad.
He soon turned his attention to the
Indians. Believing that they could be
civilized and taught to live by farming, he
tried as Indian agent among the northern
Utes to put his theory into practice, but it
seems he only succeeded in throwing
away his own life.

grave-stones and monuments, TO remove
and carry away bouquet-holders from the
grounds where they have been placed bv
surviving friends, and to take flowerino

any root. plant, vine, flower, shrub or tree,
standing and growing within said GENE.
terry. every person SO offending shall be
punished by fine not exceeding twenty
five dollars, or by Imprisonment in the
county Jail not exceeding ninety days, or
both of said punishmens, at the discretion
of the court; and such person shall be
further liable to an action for damages in

BY railway disaster near Jackson,
Mich, last Friday morning, fifteen persons
were killed and twenty-nne wounded
The accounts Of the scene are thrillingly
shocking and horrible beyond description
Two passenger cars were telescoped and
in the wreck were scattered the mangled
remains of the dead, dying and badly
injured. Cries of agony were mingled
with the Kissing of steam escaping from
the smashed locomotives. An iron bar
across the neck of one poor fellow stl;tn-
gled him before it could be removed
though his body was uninjured. A man
and his wife were killed, while their little
son survived with a broken leg. A little
girls head was crushed beyond recogni-
ton. A nursing infant was torn from its
mothers breast, and the bodies of both
we're found in the debris. Many of the
emigrants lost all their baggage, but ere
reimbursed by the railroad company i'm
mediately, and sent on their Journey.
The company expect it will cost 500, 900.
The cause of the disaster has been inves-
tigated by a coroner's jury, and the evil
dence seems to show that the yard master,
the switchman, and Jones, the engineer of
the switch engine, are all guilty, both OF
bad Judgment and violation of the rules
of the company.

The October term of the United States
districts and curcut courts just held by
Judge Wheeler, at Rutland, gave one
decision seriously affecting the marble
business. 1t declared the marble cutting
machines, manufactured by the Sullivan
machine company, of Claremont, N. H.,
and in general use in the Rutland quarries,
to be an Infringement on a stone boring
machine invented some years ago-the
drills in each being armed with diamond
points. The company owning the latter
patent sued the proprietors of three of the
largest quarries, among them Gov. Proc
tor, for using this machine, and Judge
Wheeler decided in the plaintiffs favor.
The real defendants are the Sullivan
machine company,and the case will prob
ably go to the United States supreme
court, as it has been already fought over
in some form in the circuit courts of New
York, Connecticut and New Hampshire.

Mr.. Whitter's own statement of the
origin of his poem of MAUD Muller " is
quoted by correspondent Of the Spring
field Republican. He was driving with
his sister through York. Me-, and stopped
at harvest field to inquire the way. A
young girl raking hay near the stone
wall answered their inquiries. Whittier
noticed as she talked that she bashfully
raked the hay around and over her bare
feet, and she was fresh and fair. The
little incident left its impression, and he
wrote out the poem that very evening.
But if l had had any idea," he said,
"that the plaguey little thing would hav e
been so liked, should have taken more
pains with it," To the inquiry as to the
title, Maud Muller, he said it was not q
selection. 1t came as the poem came.
He gives it the German pronunciation. as
if spelled Meuler.

The prevalent theory of the law that the
judge is the court, it seems, is not the
Leadville theory. A jury in that enter
prising town, becoming disguised with
the authoritative tone.of the judge toward
themselves, us we'll as toward the lawyers
and witnesses, recently asserted their own
authority AS the court, and ordered the
sheriff to put the judge in jail for two
weeks, lust to take some of the style out
of him." as the foreman elegantly express.
ed it. The sheriff obeyed orders and the
judge was locked up. In the meantime,
not to delay the public business, the trial
of causes goes on. with the most popular
barkeeper in town as his honor's substi.
lute. The jurors justify their action by
the argument that n court consists of Judge
and jury of which the jury is most impor-
tant, for has not an eminent authority said
that the great object of the British consti
tuition is TO get twelve men into q box?
The judge, they say, has had his way LONG
enough, and NOW it is the iury's turn.
They are the court. The sheriff ard
clerk acknowledged their authority and the
judge is in contempt.
