The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania
has affirmed the decision of the lower
court that Allegheny county is liable for
the damages done by the railway riot.
1t declares that upon all points the law
is against the county. 1t maintains that
no serious attempt was made by the local
authorities to suppress the riot, and that,
if such attempt had been made the mob
would have been prevented from de-
stroying property. The decision, in con-
nection with other cases, involves dam
ages in the neighborhood of $4,000, 900,
sum likely to beggsr the county, but
which ought to be sufficient warning
hereafter to sill local authorities to take
prompt action in case of any riot within
their jurisdiction. The county NAV ap-
peal the case, but it is certain to meet
with similar decision from higher
court.

quantity of cotton-seed oil exported from
New Orleans to foreign countries, the
remarkable discovery was made that,
during the past year, one million eight

The New York Commercial Advestiser
recommends the following as ways to get
sick: expose yourself day and night,
eat too much without exercise, work too
hard without rest, doctor all the time.
There are also other ways to get sick.
For instance: If you are perfectly
healthy and wealthy and want
to get sick, just go and put your
money in savings bank, or start a
comic paper. This won't give you salt
rheum or varioloid, but it will present
you with malady that for WEAKNESS,
quaintness and originality will go far
ahead of anything you ever dreamed Of"

THE GRASS WIDOW.

the grass widow cast out the offspring

She hath feeced thee Of thy coin.
yea, stolen what is moro priceless than

are pirates who cruise on the seas OF
affection, who seek after the lucre of
bearded creatures.

Woe unto the man that trusteth .
grass widow. She will decoy him to
ruin; she will wipe him OF money; use
him while he is fresh and trampie him
IN the dust when she has his last cop
per.
She il more artful than . syren; she
wesvsth tolls to trap the unthinking
youth; she smilsth upon the middle
aged man and twinsth her fingers
through the sagebrush Of the gray
headed buffer.
She laugheth At the weakness Of men
and rejoiceth at the prospect OF new
bonnet.
She IL . woman, though . gras,
widow; her soul is upon dress; she
liveth to place dry goods upon her
person.
Her love is the fashion. her idols
gew gaws, frills and furbelows.
She hath no heart for noble tbings;
she neither rsgardeth God nor mindsth
the devil; she thinketh Of naught but
the decoration OF her body.
She hath no heart for anything but
