claim, and secured a royalty from the
Pullman and Wagner Companies. The
improved ventilation and superb
upholstering of the rival cars, with the
strong backing of railroad magnates,
gave Pullman and Wagner the lead.
Woodruff, however, secured moderate
fortune, was able to run bank in an
Ohio town, and died worth several

The First Sleeper

The first sleepingcar ever built in
this country was by mechanic in the
shops Of the Terre Haute, Alton and st.
Louis road The President CT the road,
while the mechanic was perfecting his
designs, kept his name on the pay re'is.
The Terre Haute Af0H gives a descrip-
1t provided seats for sixty passengers
by day, to be changed to an equal num-
Der of fiat berths by night. He had no
money to pay the patent fees or to Sc
cure the necessary papers. The PreSi-
dent Of the road drew up the initial
papers and advanced the money, and
the patent was secured in 1856 or 1857.
Colonel Childs, engineer CT the Alton
Railroad, for nominal sum, took half
interest. There was no one in Terre
Haute interested in the invention with
money enough to promote it, nor was
it practicable to introduce it upon the
roads. The officers of the Terre Haute
and Alton Railroad assisted in LAYING
the subject before the Superintendent
of the New York Central, who allowed
couple of cars to be fitted up as Sleep
ers and run upon the western division
of the Central. These RS were the
very humble pioneers of the present
costly system of palace and parlor
coaches, involving the most essential

a SOtei DUei:st.

Baron De Sen Malata, Z :'icilian, and
noted du"l!st, has recently gone to
Ia IL, to tind test Of his skill as a COM
'wt>nt. He has fought forty duels,
LAT in E0ne Of them has he been the
challenger It il told Of him that
during a heated political canvass, in the
course Of 4 discussion in puddle square
with 4 first cousin, the latter called him
by som" opnrobrious epithet. The ba-
ron replied, " You are 4 coward ~ The
cousin answered, Will you repeat that
in five minutes?' "Assuredly." The
cousin went home and returned with
revolver in his hand The baron went
up to him and s2id, {" Giuseppe, see
hete! That revolver don't suit your
hand ; the stock never was made for
You for the life Of you you could not
use that pistol" AS he ceased to speak
he spit in his cousins face. The sud
denness and strang Of this speech
and attack, so bevildered the cousin,
that he neither SAID or did anything

Friends interfered. The cousin chal-
lenged the baron. The eve OF the duel,
the baron's aunt, who knew what an
expert swordsman he was, begged him
to spare her sons life. He replied,
"Guiseppe shall return from the field
even without Scratch" The duel took
place. The cousin attacked furously.
The baron only parted. At last he
turned his head and looked at the sec
onds until his adversary became so
weak that he could no longer hold his
sword, when the seconds interfered and
ended the duel. At another time he
was challenged by the best broad
swordman in Sicily, while he himself
was not skilled with this weapon. The
broadsword was selected by the seconds.
On the field the baron took his sword in
both hands, and rushed upon his adver-
Sary, using the weapon as III 1t were q
club. His adversary retreated. They
were put in position again. The baron
disarmed his adversary. A third time
they were put in position. At the first
pass the baron's sword broke within
eight inches of the hilt, but his adver-
sary kept on, and the seconds did not
interfere. This SO enraged the baron

that it is a huge basin of petroleum
under Nesuvius which keeps the bow

active. He therefore proposes 10 dig
tunnel at its base, tapping the great

While as yet no definite plans of

While as yet no definite plans of
candidates or platforms are known, the
indications are that the issue Of the
coming campaign will be, as heretofore,
anti-railroad. Our evening contem-
porary is evidently of this opinion,
Judging from its leading article of last
evening, advocating a proportionate
representation in the Legislature direct
from the railroad interest. While
there may be nothing unreasonable in
the proposition, it is by no means Origi-
nal. We think the railroads and mines,
the chief interests Of the State, have
been pretty we'll represented in cur
Legislatures. They have for years
been the prominent features Of the
platforms of both parties, and each has
had its supporters as lawmakers fer
The people. 1t is safe to say that the
platforms of both parties in the coming
campaign, regardless Of nominees, will
very closely resemble those of hereto
fore on these subjects. Let the
nominating conventions Of the Re
publican party bear in mind that men
as well as platforms are essential to
party success. Men not only honest in
action, bl.t capable of discerning what
is right and fair between all leading
Interests of the State, and we need have
no fear of results.

A Land Almost Impoverished by Hortles

A Land Almost Impoverished by Horties
 of Rabbits.
 From the Gentleman's Magazine.l
 New Zealand has suffered grievously from the ravages of these gentlest of furry foes. About twenty years ago colonist brought seven rabbits from the old country to his new home at Invercargill in the southern isle. It was thought that to turn these adrift on the bleak sand hills along the coast could not fail to prove a benefit to the colony. For some years this answered capitally, and the colo nists enjoyed excellent shooting on the links (as such a seaboard is called in Scotland. But ere long the rabbits increased to such an extent that they cropped every blade of grass and even devoured the roots, which alone bound the light sand hills and prevented them from blowing over the better soil in land. Very soon this evil occurred, and the land was greatly injured. Then the farmers on the seacoast began shooting and trapping in earnest; but by this time some more rab- bits had been imported to Otago, and from these two centers the mischief rapidly spread Considering that each rabbit breeds eight times year, and produces an average of six young at each litter, it is easy to perceive how rapid must be their increase. On the other hand, their human foes are few, the settlers in the interior living eight or ten miles apart-a lonely life, in truth, where perhaps half dozen men herd the hocks which range over 50,0 acres. It became evident that these shepherds could never check the progress of the evil without assis- tance, so men were hired to ferret, trap, shoot or worry the invaders. These men travelled with large packs of dogs, numbering from one to two dozen. They were paid at the rate of two-pence skin. It was, how eyer soon found that the sale of skins fetched less than they cost. while the presence of strange dogs disturbed the sheep, and often

The Trades Union.


 To the Editor of the JOURNAL COURIER:
 In the article entitled Trades Unions" published in recent issue of your valuable paper, an injustice is, perhaps inadvertently, done large and growing American institu- tion-the trades union. I say American, for it is in our own country that the trades union can best flourish and exert benehcent power for public good. The writer of the article in ou, stion attacks the trades union at one of it's strongest points-the indenture and sys- tematic teaching of apprentices, in order to make of them good mechanics Now, with out indenture and the good offices of the ex- pert mechanic, young men are thrown upon the community with but smatterlng of their trade, and the public suffers the consequen- ces When number of workmen of cer- tain trade unite, it is for their own good that they do so. When, united, they make rules for their government in trade matters, and resolve to act according to their united judg- ment in the premises, they suppose they are advancing their own interests. The writer of the article cited stigmatizes the trades union ''an organization formed for the control of the workingmen." Well, the State is an organization formed for the control of it's citizens, and the trades union represents it's members much better than the State does its citizens. One thing should be always kept in mind when speaking of the workman and that is that the American citi- zen is a workman ''by large majority ;" that he has the right of suffrage. The American citizen has the right to join himself together to accomplish what he believes to be best for his purposes. If he makes a mistake be Is wise enough to discover and correct it. The American citizen is most powerful when united He is beginning to feel his power and influence in the matter of work, and so he unites, and who dare say him nay?

FOR THE PROTECTION OF GAME.

FOR THE PROTECTION OF GAME. The scarcity of game in this State and the desire of sportsmen for better opportunities to use their skill have been productive of considerable legislation, some of which is wise and some foolish. But all the laws which good natured Legislatures have passed have not brought back to the State the quan- titles of grouse, quail, woodcock and part ridges which the hunters want. They look back to the time when quail sold in Connec- ticut for twenty cents brace, woodcock for fifteen to twenty-five cents a single bird and cartridges for forty or fifty cents brace, and they sigh for some law that will brin about a return of such good old times.
 Some of those interested in increasing the number of game birds in this State think that prominent if not the chief, cause of their scarcity is the fact that many shot or snared and sold to the New York restsur- ant keepers. They say that this shooting and snaring goes on in and out of season and that if it could be stopped there would be many more game birds in Connecticut than there now are. They therefore got the last Legislature to pass law forbidding the ex- portation of ruffed grouse, woodcock and quail under heavy penalty. The law pro- vides that:
 No person shall at any time, kill any wood cock, ruffed grouse, or quail, for the pur- pose of conveying the same beyond the limits of this State.
 No person, corporation, or company shall convey or transport beyond the limits of this State any woodcock, ruffed grouse, or quail killed within this State, sell or have in his or their possession any of such birds with the intention to procure the same to be conveyed or transported beyond the limits of this State.
 The reception by any person, company, or corporation within the limits of this State of any quail, woodcock, or ruffed grouse for shipment to point without the State shall be 11rinaG .fdcie evidence that the bird or birds were killed within the State for the purpose of carrying the same beyond the limits Of this State.
 Any person violating any of the provisions of the preceding sections shall be fined not less than seven nor more than fifty dollars and costs of prosecution.
 Whatever may be said about the merits of this law, one thing is certain, and that is that it will not be enforced. Some New Lon- don sportsmen have, it is true, organized for the purpose of prosecuting any marketman, railroad corporation, pot-hunter, or other person or persons who shall be found vio- lating it, but it is not probable that they will be very successful in discovering criminals. Perhaps no game laws can be well enforced in this State, but if sportsmen would turn their attention to preventing snaring, and killing out of season, they might accomplish sonethinp
