An Interesting Decision.

The supreme court ofthe United Ste..oes has settled an important question ..,f law relating to the liability of emn iovars for injuries sustained by er,.p loyees. The authorities and discussions on this point have left the jaw ip a condition which is neither wholly clear nor satisfactory. The general rule has been recognized that an employer is not liable for in- juries received by one of his employees through the negligence of another. But such rule without exceptions would be as illogical as it is unjust. Excep- tions have been recognized, but the principle governing them has not been satisfactorily settled or clearly defined. The supreme court not only lays down an important rule which will govern in analogous cases, but it bases that rule on grounds of justice, which have hitherto been too little recognized. The bearing of the decision may be best un- derstood by brief statement of the con- trolling facts W. c. Hough was an engineer on a Texas railroad. His locomotive ran against an animal on the track. and was thrown down an en- bankment. The whistle was blown or knocked from it's fastening, thereby making an opening in the boiler. Hot water and steam poured through this aperture and scalded the engineer, Hough, to death. An action for dam by his widow and child, who alleged that the engine had been thrown from the track by reason of 8 defective cow
 catcher, and that the whistle had be- come loose because it was insecurely fastened. These things were attributed to the negligence of the company's mas ter mechanic or foreman, whose duty it was to see that every locomotive was in good order and condition. It was proved that Hough had re- peatedly told the master mechanic that the cow-catcher on his engine was defective, and that 8 new one was needed. The ls.tter promi 9ed to attend to the matter, but neglected to do so. One defense set up by the company was that the plaintiff could not maintain an action for injuries resulting from the negligence of fellow-servant. An other was that Hough had been guilty of contributory negligence in running an engine which he knew to have de- fective cow-catcher. The circuit court of the United States so laid down the law governing the case that no course was open to the jury but to return a verdict for the company. The judg- ment of this tribunal is now reversed, and a new trial ordered by the supreme court of the United States. The opinion lays down the rule that an emp oyer, whether an individual or a corporation, will not be allowed to expose an em
 ployee to risks and dangers which may be guarded against by due diligence. The master is bound to exercise reason able care and prudence with reference to selecting and keeping in order ma ch1nery, implements, etc., used by the servants, and when he or his agents are guilty of negligence in this respect he is liable for the dam ages which may be caused by such negligence As to the contributory negligence of the plaintiff in the case, it was for the jury to say whether under all the circumstances his conduct amounted to neolipencp

How the Earth was First Mapped Out.

What these early maps were we do not know, but can form a reasonable con lecture. The earth at that time was sup -posed to be flat circular plain or disk, the broadest part being from east to west, which was entirely surrounded by an ocean, or great river, that washed 1t upon all sides. In about the center of this plain Greece was supposed to be situated. The great central sea of the inhabited region Was the Mediterran- can. The farthest point known at the west was the Straits of Gibraltar, then called the Pillars of Hercules. The southern part comprised the north of Africa as far as the deserts; while the region nortk embraced the countries bordering upon the Mediterranean, and an unknown hyperbOrean land further to the north, with the Euxine and Cas- plan seas at the northeast. The furthest eastern point known was about the western limit of India. This was what would then be contained in 8 map as a representation of the earth. The sun was supposed } pass under and around this fl ', pIaIn, which was then the mode of accounting for the changes of day and night. The space beneath was supposed to be great vault, called Tartarus, the abode of the spirits of the wicked among men, as the region cor responding to 1T, aDOVe ULle plaln, was the heaven, or abode of the gods. The unknown region beyond the Pillars of Hercules was filled up with creations of the fertile imagination of the Greeks. To the northwest and north were the Cimmerians, q people living in perpetual darkness, and the Hyperboreans, race supposed to be exempt from toil disease, or wars, who enjoyed life for thou sand years in state of undisturbed se- renity. To the west of Sicily were the enchanted islands of Circe and Calypso, and the floating island of Eolus. A little to the north of the Pillars of Her cules was the entrance to the internal regions; and far out in the Western ocean, beyond the limit of the known earth, was the happy region called the Elysium, & land of perpetual summer, where q gentle zephyr constantly blew, where tsmpests were unknown, and where the spirits ofthose whose lives had been approved by the gods dwelt in per petual felicity. Here, also, were the gardens of the Hesperides, with their golden apples guarded by the singing nymphs, who dwelt on the river Oceanus, which was in the extreme west, and the position of which was constantly shifted as geographical knowledge increased. .-PopUlar Science Monthly.

The Voice.

Socrates diviped the quantity of a mans voice, mind or soul, by the tone of his voice. and all students remember his expression: Speak, that l may see you" Dr. Durant explains charac- ter by voice, and tells us these facts:
 We perceive in a stutterer one that is easily enraged, and as easily pacifed; i; vain, otEciJus, inconstant and ordin- arily quick. A person whose utterance .-is thick and coarse is malicious, cunning and disdainful.
 A coarse voice indicates robust physique,a great talker, quick tempered, though conspicuously discreet.
 A piercing, fine or weak voice is in- dicative of timidity, cunning, and gen. erally of quick wit.
 1. An attractive and clear voice expresses man who is prudent, sincere and in- genious, but proud and incredulous {; whereas, firm voice, without harsh ness, denotes person who is robust, intelligent. circumspect and benevolent. A man possessing a trembiing and hesitating voice is timid, weak, vain and sometimes jealous.
 X voice combining great sound and firmnass indicates a man who is strong, audaeious, rash, obstinate and selt-im- portant. A sharp and rude voice, in singing as well as in conversation, denotes a coarse mind, inferior judgment and strong ap- petites.
 A hoarse voice, seemingly the effect of cold, signifies a person more sim pie than wise. credulous and truthful, vain and inconstant. A full and sweet voice denotes a man who is peaceful, inclined to timidity, discreet and self-willed. A voice at first grave and then sharp and piercing denotes the quick temper of an imprudent man. A soft, sweet voice is found in per son of a peaceable and suitable acter.

A Railroad Rumaing Away.

A railroad a quarter of q mile long, rnnning fir )m the top to the bottom of one of the mountains which surround Oil City, Pa, was being removed short time since when one of the most novel accidents ever recorded took place. The rails, formerly the tracks of the road, were fastened together at the ends when laid, forming an un- broken line. The method of taking up the rails was to unspike them from the ties, then attach horses to the end of one line of rails at the foot of the hill, and disconnect the rails as they were drawn down at every two or three rail lengths. A few lengths of rail near the bottom were removed, and then the horses started the whole of the remain ing line, nearly quarter of mile in length. The ties were covered with snow and ice. The line of rails moved slowly at first, but suddenly they began to increase in speed until the whole quarter of mile of rails was gliding down the steep and slippery hill at the rate of forty-five miles an hour. The rail at the bottom, from long disuse, was turned up at the end like a sled shoe. The line of iron shot across the street at the bottom of the hill with great speed. On the lower side of the street, directly in the path of the flying rails, was Mrs. Henry Case's barn. The rails struck the side of the barn about a foot from the ground. The shock broke the connections in several places, and the air was full of flying rails, some of them being thrown three hundred feet. About two hundred feet of the railroad stayed together. lt tore through Mrs. Cases barn as though the building was made of paper. The speed of the rails seemed to have been very little affected by it's passage through the barn, for the whole line of rails came through on the other side. When it emerged from the barn it made directly across Mrs. Cases back yard, narrowly missing the building, but striking an outhouse, which it reduced to splinters From Mrs. Cases it glided into the back yard of the James house. It made directly. for the kitchen, but before reaching it came in contact with q heavy stone wall. This changed the course of the flying iron. It ca reened from the stone wall to chimney on the James house, which it demol- ished. The iron again parted, one piece flying off to the right and blowing into the ground, making furrow foot deep for a distance of over fifty feet. This closed the career of that part of the railroad. The other portion jumped from the low roof of the James house to the top of David Lindersmiths three story house. It tore off the shingles for several feet when it came in contact with the chimney. This it knocked over, but had met with opposition enough to bring it to stop. About fifty feet of iron remained on Lindersmith's roof.
 The whole trip ot the railroad iron did not occupy minute, but in that time it created a bigger sensation than Oil City has ever seen for many a day. The striking of the stone wall by the iron, which turned it away from James, kitchen, doubtless saved lives, for there were several girls at work in the kitchen

In deepening river in the neighbor

In deepening river in the neighbor- hood of Norrkoping, says the Ism5e, 1rades Journal, in order to make it ac. cessible for ships of heavier draught, among several objects of interest brought up from the bottom, eight oak almost decayed, and when it was taken off the wood was found to be hard and black, resembling ebony. The trees are supposed to have been lying in the earth 900 years. The trees have been sold to a firm of joiners, who intend using them for cabinet work.
