Christmas by making some one, old or
young, feel happy. The methods need
not be expensive, and parents will be
ready TO help. Girls will know of some
old man or woman TO whom a pair of
mittens, q comforter, or some little
thing they could make, would be very
acceptable. Boys cannot knit such
things but they can ask their father for a
basket of those nice apples, TO take, on

Chicago Tribune: The question
whether railroad corporation is bound
to protect its passengers who patronize
its roads has been answered, in one case
Al least. in a manner which will be sat
isfactory to the travelling public, and
may rebound 10 their benefit IN the fu-
ture. The case alluded to is that of one
Mr.. Flexman, who was travelling from
Hoopeston to Milford, IN this state.
During the trip be aVAIled himself Of
the immemorial privilege OF passengers
and went 10 sleep. On reaching Mil
ford, he found that his watch was gone,
aud so informed the conductor, who
gave him leave 70 remain on the train
until Il reached the next station that he
might search for his watch. In the
course OF this seasch he took occasion TO
express his belief that the brakeman had
stolen..it, whereupon the brakeman struck
him ON the head with his lantern.
Mr.. Flexman's next move was a suit
against the company for damages on ac-
count Of the assault by one of its en-
ployes The company, through It's at
torneys, contended that ms Mr.. Flexman
was riding free from Milford TO the
next station he took all the risks of dam
ger 10 himself between the two places
and had none of the rights of passengers
and also that the assault by the brake
man was an individual act and not an
sahooruanra S.f 81 10 -
rules, consequently the company were
not responsible for the display of the
brakeman's wrath and the desperate use
of his lantern on Mr.. Flexman's head.
The court, however, did not take this
view of the case. 1t decided that Fiex-
man was fare-paying passenger, and
that If his fare had been demanded he
would probably have paid 1t; IN any
event the conductor did not demand il,
and the right. therefore. was waived by
the representative of the company.
Again, il decided that the company
undertakes 10 carry passengers safe
ly aud is bound 10 project them
and make such necessary ar
rangements for preserving the peace that
they should not be assaulted, especially
by employees. If the brakeman had as
saulted u passenger without any motive
tue brak emsn would bave been respOn-
sible, but in this case the company it.
self was responsible
The principle laid down in this case
Is an important one, for if railroad COM
panies are bound TO protect their pas
sengers from assaults by employees, and
if they IRE bound to make every arrange
ment To secure their safety, may they
not also be bound To protect Their passen-
gers from assault aud robbery by outside
parties and to insure their safety against
road agents and train robbers? AS there
have been no decision ON that point,
railroad corporations have done nothing
hitherto towards protecting tn ir pas
SINGERS against marauding gangs like
those of :he James brothers. Tine next
time n train robberp of this kind occurs
IL would be well for The victims to usk
the courts whether the roads are not
bound To secure them from armed
thieves If SO, there will be no danger
in future, for corporations will then arm
their engineers, firemen, conductors and
brakemen, and put on extra men if nee
essary.

The ''ind" of old gold COINS lately
made in Paris by two laborers engaged
in the demolition of the house once oc-
cupied by Marshal D'Efiat was a piece
of luck for which the collectors are as
grateful as the finders. The intrinsic
value of the coins, SIMPLY as bullion, is
10000 francs. According to the French
law of treasure -trove the finders are en-
titled to q half share. and they elected
TO take Il in current coin by weight.
They thus became the possessCrs of
about $4,000. The coins are being Cat.
alogued for sale by public suction
There are nearly 5000 pieces in all. and
they include coins of Jean lie Bon

Big Mail Robbsriss

DENVER, Nov. 23.-That the mails be-
tween Denver and eastern cities, partic-
ularly New York, Cleveland aud Buffa-
10, are being Systematically and success
fully robbed there is no doubt. The
New York and eastern mial which left
Denver December, 20, 1881. never reach
ed its destination, and since that time
losses are almost constantly being re-
ported. The postal authorities claim to
have thus far been SO successful as to
locate the trouble east of the MissIssip-
pi river, but still the robberies go on
under the very eyes of the postal author
tiles. The real losses in vaIuables and
currency can hardly be estimated, but
the losses in drafts, bills of exchange
and postal money orders will aggregate
over 100000. OF course these last are
not real losses, but our banks and BUSH
ness houses have been forced to make
their transfers of money through the ex.
press companies, much to their cost and
Inconvenience. The more recent rob-
berries have occurred on October I'd, 18th
and 31st, and November 7th.

STALL We PRIME IN WINTER

1
There has been vast amount of dis
cussion as 10 the proper time for prun
ing; some insisting that it should not
be done in winter, while others hold
that the proper time is whenever your
knife is sharp" There is one season
especially in which pruning should not
be done, viz, during the period oil ac-
tive growth, from the time the buds
start in spring, until buds are formed
for the next year. Winter is preferred
by many. as more time can be devoted
10 the work; and with the apple aud
pear it probably does not make any
difference at what period il is done be-
tween the fall of the leaf and the swell
ing of the buds in spring. Il is not
well TO pTune when the wood is frozen,
as bad wounds and cracks may result.

the start. and proper attention given
To forming the heads, there would be
little need of severe pruning in the or

to plant an orchard and let il grow I'M
cared for. The trees, after they begin
10 bear, yield fair crops for few years,
and then, when they decline and fail,
pruning is suggested as a remedy. Too
often the pruning is done by ignorant
persons, and as a result, nearly as much
wood is cut out as there is left This
great waste should be avoided. The
labor of the tree. so to speak, expended
to produce these numerous branches,
should have been directed to the pro-
duction of fruit, as il might have been
had proper care been given TO the or
chard when young. The principles of
pFpging are readily understood, and one
should never remove q branch, large or
small, without having some definite OBJ
ject in view.-Dr Thurber, in American
