Rescript In Case Franc es A. Josselyn VS.
Hiram A. Ladd

Hiram A. I.add.
In this case the ruling of the court as to
the weight of evidence required to authorize
a verdict for the plaintiff, is in accordance
with the rule established in Ellis VS.. Buzzell,
60 Maine, 2O9, and which is now the law in
this State.
A correct construction of the charge in rela
ton to interest, does not authorize the jury to
compound it. 1t simply directs them as to
the rate at which it to be reckoned. if allowed.
Were it as contended, the defendant could not
be aggrieved, as the time for which it could
be cast, as shown by the case, was only about
two months more than year.
1t was not clear that the verdict is against
the weight of evidence. Therefore, it is not
a case in which the court would be authorized
to set it aside.
Exceptions overruled.

The Day and Its DUTY.

The Christmas of 1881 crowns a year of
exceptional prosperity The country has
grown rich, and its industrious people for
the most part have found work for their
willing hands and ample recompense for
their labor. The nation has thriyed, and,
were it not for the terrible deed at the capi-
tai last July, would record the year as one Of
the happiest in its annals The gain in
wealth andgeneral comfort shows itself in
lavish gift-making. No holiday season for
a long time has been marked by so much
expenditure. But while the country has
grown wealthy and its people for the most
part have got riches, many unfortunate ones
areneedy. They should command our sympa-
thy and active aid. To them we should
give of our abundance. The duty of the
day is to make Christmas, so generally merry,
universally so.

JOHN S. BROWN, one Of the great linen
manufacturers of Belfast, Ireland, was in
Buffalo, recently, and in conversation with
the editor of the Express on Irish affairs,
said that the Irish tenantfarmer, from being
one of the Tack-rented and oppressed culti-
vators on the earth, has now, by the provis-
tons of the land act, such protection from a
rapacious landlord as is unknown in any
other country. The land court has reduced
the rent of almost all those whose applica
ions it has heard, from twenty-five to fifty
per cent. and some even more. Mr. Brown
believes that the result of these decisions
will be that landlords, finding the income
from their property fixed amount which is
not likely to be increased, will sell their es-
tates in parcels to their tenants, and invest
their money where they can increase their
incomes and where they will not be troubled
with the annoyance and expenditures which
the possession Of real estate involves. Thus
in process of time, every tiller of the soil in
Ireland will own his little farm.
SOUTHERN newspapers are reporting meet
ings of stockholders and directors of manu-
featuring companies at which very comfort
able dividends are declared. The Charles
ton News and Courier reports the Camper
doun Mills as having used up 5000 bales Of
cotton, manufactured between $350,000 and
100000 worth of goods, and declared a
twelve per cent. dividend for the year. The
same authority says that the Piedmont
Manufacturing Company is about to erect
twenty cottages for its employees. This
means business for home tradesmen, en-
ployment for home mechanics, and an in
creased home market for farmers. There
is not foot of land near these mills but is
enhanced in value by their being there.

A Wonderful Cum.
SOME ACCOUNT or ROTHSCHrLD's
100000 GOBLET.

sOME ACCOUNT OF ROTHSCHILUS
$4,000 GOBLET.
Baron Charles de Rothschild, OF
Frankfort, has recently purchased
for the enormous sum OF S00,000
francs 1870, 000), a silver gilt cup by
the celebrated Jamnitzer, which IL
said 60 be a marvellous work of art.
This sum, according TO the Chron-
ique DIES Arts, Is, as Ear as it knows,
the largest price ever paid in modern
times for single object of art. The
work is q center-piece of table SER
vice. The foot is composed of rock
entirely covered with grasses and
field flowers, ON which disport them
selves beetles, little lizards, locusts
and snails. From this rises a figure
of women, emblematizing the
earth and bending in eloquent pose
as she supports on her head and
hands a tall chalice, decorated with
grotesques and topped by cover,
which terminates In q vase in the
form of q baluster, from which
springs bunch of leaves and flow
ers. The silver gilt OF which the
cup is made has ornaments In Opaque
and translucent enamels. The gold
smlthery of the sixteenth century is
said to offer nothing more finished
in execution, and which, though
open to criticism possibly from the
standpcints both of taste and style,
has its weakness counterbalanced by
the wonderful perfection Of all its
details.
The story OF Baron Rothschild's
acquisition of the work is quite Curl
GUS. 1t formed part Of the estate Of
the late Nuremberg banker, Merkle,
who died in 1873, and whose heirs,
by common accord, agreed to loan
it, together with Albert Durer's por-
trait of Holchucher, to the German
Museum at Nuremburg, Of which
Jamuitxer's chef d'nuvre became
one of the greatest treasures. In
deed the public, during the years it
was on exhibition, thought 1t belong
ed to the museum. 1t was so arran-
ged that the work could not be taken
away without joint consent of the
heirs and ministerial authorize
tion. Some months ago The celebra-
ted art work disappeared from the
galleries, to the great establishment
and CONSERVATION of the Nurember-
gers and the country in general.
After a while 1t leaked out that a
Frankfort dealer In art objects, the
agent of Baron Rothschild, had APP
peared with the necessary papers
from the family and the Minister,
and the Director of the Museum had
been obliged to deliver to him the
cup. The whole affair was conduct
ed with great secrecy, and it is GER
tain that had 1t been known that the
object was for sale the Director OF
the Nuremberg Museum, as well as
those OF many others, would have
competed with the present purchaser
for its possession.
