An Important Decision.

WASHINGTON, d. c., November II The
Supreme Court to-day rendered an opinion
of great Importance TO all railroads, fast
freight lines and shippers of goods, In the
case ol the st. Louis Insurance Company
against the st. Louis, Vandalia.
rerre llaute Il indianapolis railway. This
suit was brought by the st. Louis Insur-
ance, Company, MS assignee Of Weir
& Go. to recover the value of GER
tam cotton shipped at st. Louis In 1873
Tor Liverpool, under agreement between
Welr Co. and the fast freight line,
knownas the lie ~ Pacific Despatch. The
cotton was shipped, by the Despatch over
littsburg. Cincinnati e st. Louis, Atlantic
n Great Western and Erie Railway Compa-
n.y. II was burned ut Jersey City while in
custody of the Erie railway. The Vandalia
line DID not execute bill.of lading, but
way-billed the freight from St. Louis TO
indianapolis, and there delivered Il In
good order TO the Pittsburg, Cincinnati
y st. Louis Company. The main oucs-
ton presented by the case is whether the
Vandalia line was responsible for the safety
OF the cotton after delivering It to another
carrier. The court does not consider
whether the Vandalia line could or could
not take the benefit ofthespecal exceptions
IN the bill Of lading given by the Erie q
Pacific to Weir d Co.. but assumes for the
purposes of decision that Weir 4 Co. were
not bound under the proof BY any spccial
terms which that instrument contained.
The court then holds that where there Is n
division of established through rates by
railroads among themselves On a basis
of distance only, this is not of itself
sufficient to make these roads partners, or
to bind any one of them as by special con.
tract, 70 transport cotton beyond its own
lines. The Erie t Pacific Despatch Is
liable under its contract for the safety of
the, cotton on the whole route but each
road. is responsible only for It's own
negligence.

Dust. Pneumonia, hthfsfs, Etc.


 To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 The Monthly Statement of Mortality" in this city for March, 1881, reports the num- Der of deaths from all causes to be 143. Of these there were, from pneumonia and con- gestion of the lungs, 2S; phthisis 2S; bron- chitis, 5 croup, 5; total, 6G. From ty- phoid fever, ?; none from smallpox, scarla- tina or measles. The rest were from all dis eases of brain and nervous system, etc.-as apoplexy, 2; convulsions, 5 heart disease, A. Bright's disease, ' cancer, 5; suicide, 3, etc. the greatest number from any one of these remaining causes being 9, from meningitis and encephalitis.
 Thus it is seen that nearly one-half of the mortality was from affections of the respira- tory organs It is fearful If to some pesti- lence among us 8 like number should be at tributed, what alarm, what anxiety would prevail If there had been G6 deaths from smallpox, or 66 from cholera, or yellow fever, how it would sound? Our mortality from zymotic diseases is low-almost none at all and, since the causes which produce these diseases have been looked after and combated, is there any reason why the causes which excite the diseases to which climate par ticularly predisposes should not also be looked after and combated? The dangers from the front yard may exceed those of the back yard or the soil pipes of the house.
 Nearly the first paragraph I read in the COURIER yesterday told of wife dead from pneumonia and of her husband ass'very ill with the same disease" and the reporter might undoubtedly get more items of the same sort if he were to set himself to the task. The inhalation of dust no doubt ex- cites the abominable catarrh as well as the fatal pneumonia and phthisis.
 Life dependent upon respiration cannot exist when long exposed to dust. It is said that lions living in dry, sandy deserts die of phthisis, produced by inhaling dust. Plants (p1ants breathe, the leaves are their lungs) plants cannot live in dry, dusty parlors. Can your children or yourselves? DAT.

 broker in dyes and dyestuffs suggested to us the other day that the triumph of the electric world would not only bankrupt the gas con- panies, but would destroy another great and important industry, viz, the trade in aniline dyes, which are made exclusively from coal tar obtained from the waste products of gas works. There is probably very little danger of the destruction of the aniline industry in the manner referred to, but the suggestion will serve to call attention to the vast pro- portions which the industry has assumed within the past quarter of century. The demand for varied and attractive colorings in textile fabrics, papers, soaps and many other articles keeps the chemists of the world constantly busy in devising new eolors and providing names for them. A single New England cor poration engaged Tn the manufacture of cot ton and woolen goods uses $1 ,0O0, ,OO0 worth of dyes and chemicals per annum. The total value of all the dyes, mordants, &c., used in the United States, per annum, is estimated at not less than $40, GOO, 900, and of this amount fully one-half are of anihne extrac- tion. It is said that the whole quantity of aniline dyes now consumed in the world is valued at not less than $1O0, 900, 900 per an num- And yet, such a thing as aniline dye was unheard of 30 years ago. The most i'm portant step in the aniline discoveries was made in 1858, when coal tar yielded the val uable colofing agent now known as magenta, and sometimes as solferino, the battles of Magenta and Solferino having occurred about the time of these discoveries. Three years previous thereto Gin 1S561a dye known as mauyeine (purple) had been obtained to some extent from coal tar and must conse-

teachers in the county of Monroe, and that the Superintendent of Education be specially requested to decline giving any Radical q cer- tifcate as a teacher Mr. Saville, the Su- perintendent, fell in with the idea, and since that time has required every applicant for a teachership to sign paper, saying, 'I cer- tify that have been Democrat, and that I will hereafter support the candidates of the Democratic party, and work with that party" This is Democracy! The population of Mon roe county in. 1870 was Whites, 9,630 i; blacks, 15.o23. In 1880, it is given as fol- lows: Whites, 10, ,549 blacks, 18,o04. The blacks are in the majority, and yet no teacher, unless he is a Democrat is good enough to suit the white minority.
 A painful case came up before Sir James Hannen in the English Probate and Divorce Division few days ago. In 1870 the widow woman of nearly sixty, married tutor of thirty-one, MT. Henry Wills. After living with him for six months she left him, alleg- ing cruelty and neglect, and having private income of e130 year offered him $50, a year or e3O0 cash if he would let her alone The man has now brought suit for thes resti- tuition of his conjugal rights, denying that he is actuated by mercenary motives and al leging that what he desires is the society of bis wife, who is dear to him. Sir James Hannen asked with slightly obvious con- tempt, What would compensate you for the loss of wife who has lived apart from you since 1870 ?' but as the plain tiff insisted, the judge had no option but to give judgment, which he did in the following words: 'This jurisdiction which am asked to exercise is one which is unknown in any other country in the world, and am never called upon to exercise it but I do so with the greatest reluctance. have never had a question of the kind before me which was not question of terms, and I think the present case is of that nature. However, as am called upon to exercise my jurisdiction in the matter, must pronounce a decree for restitution of conjugal rights as asked for. The decree, however, will stand over for three months before being enforced. I allow no costs ''

Central Park, New York, is perhaps the only place in this country where person cannot carry bunch of flowers. The rules against picking flowers, leaves, etc.. in the Park are necessarily rigid, and as it is inn possible that every visitor should be con- stantly under the eye of a policeman, the only practicable method of preventing spoli- ation was to forbid the carrying of flowers in the Park, even when brought in from out side Then if the law were enforced, to be found with flowers in ones possession would be proof of wrong doing. Two years ago 8 citizen driving into the Park with bouquet of Hlacs in his hand was stopped, and upon his refusal to throw it away or conceal it was arrested.
