\ HORSE and two disputants was the
cause of lengthy session of Justice
Lowry's court, on Wednesday. Quite
an imposing array of legal talent was
called out TO decide whether the afore-
said horse or colt valued at fifty or sixty
five dollars, as the case might be, be-
longed to plaintiff or defendant. 1t was
at first intended to include a jury in the
search for ownership, but when six
good men and true had been gathered
in from the broad highway and places
of business, both sides, with one accord,
agreed they would leave the matter to
His Honor to decide. Whether this
change of heart was brought about by
the honest, justice loving look, on the
countenances of the iurymen, or the OPP
posite, deponent sayeth not After
tons of solid argument the case was
taken under Amusement by the Court

TIE Boscobcl Dial says Last Thurs
day afternoon Mrs. John Miles, of Ian
caster took the train from that city TO
visit her sister, Mrs j. p. Miller, living
about three miles from W erley station
Mrs. Miles was accompanied by a lad
of nine years and babe about one
year old, Arriving ut Werley the wo-
man and children set out on foot for
their destination, but the dark night
overlook them ere their journey was
half accomplished. In the darkness,
in an unknown settlement, the lady
wandered from the road, and after trav-
cling for some time the terrible truth
dawned upon her that she was lost. The
reader can imagine the feelings of the
mother when she realized that alone
with her children she was travelling
over unknown ground in mid-wintcr
and storm, the Seyerest of the season,
coming on. Alone with her children
she trudged about, all night through.
Weary, footsore and cold, the children's
safety alone kept the brave woman up
until the dawn in the east told her that
she had passed that dreadful night to
find herself yet two miles from her sis
tcr's comfortable home. Such cases
are rare in this settled portion of the
country and the only wonder is that the
woman had the fortitude to hold out.

If the excellence OF o newspaper is not
always measured by its proftableness, it
is generally true that if it does not pay
its owner, it is valueless to the public.

to the lowest tastes of respectable peo-
pie, and to the prejudice, ignorance and
passion of the lowest class bat ns d

fert which has been frequently accon.-
plished wi,l success; hut the first
known iustsnce Of traasplanting a piece
Ut bone ksaa sac ksisl rerson to am
other was Announced ut recent meet
ing of the Royal Society. In 1878 a
young child was admitted into the Glas-
gov Infrmary with necrosis or morlifi-
cation of the right l,umerus or bone Of
the upper arm. The mortified part was
removed from the bone, but even after
fifteen months no fresh bono had grown
to fill up the gap. This extended to
two-thirds OF the entiro shaft, and it
became necessary to try and transplant
piece Of alien bone into the place.
On three several occasions portions OF
living bone were transplanted into the
child's arm-the pieces being obtained
from osseous wedges which had to be
excised from the healthy bones OF other
patients. The pieces were divided into
many small fragments before being ap-
piled. and in course Of time they united
together into solid rod, thereby con-
yerting helpless arm into useful one.
The operation is of great importance as
demonstrating that piece of trans
planted bone is capable Of living and
growing on another system, to the ben-
eft OF the latter.

The TEACHER arose Immediately after he
called the school to order. There was
n look of pain on his gentle face, and he
seemed to be feeling for an apple in his
coat tail pockets. but he was not. He
was feeling for something, but it was not
an apple, and it was not in his pocket.
He glanced around the school, and every

such profoundly studious expression,

Espers-says the Supreme Court
& eota in recent case-are Of so
vszieties that it would be next to
inapouiblc to give any brief definition
which world include and describe all
kinds OF newspapers. We are not called
upon to incur the risk of giving any such
de6nition OF this time. II will be sufi.
cient for oil the purposes OF this case to
say that, in the ordinary understanding
Of the word, newspaper is o publica-
tion which usually contains, among
other things, what is called the general
news, the current news, or the news of
the day; and nothing which does not
usually contain such news, and is in
tended for general circulation, is news
paper in the ordinary sense Of the word.
Such newspaper is q publication
adapted to the general reader. Now, in
the absence of some controlling consid-
Grafton to the contrary, the statute is to
be taken to have used the word newpa-
per in this, its ordinary sense, or "ac-
cording to the common or approved
usage Of the language" and when the
object Of the publication of summons
is considered, the reasonableness Of such
construction OF the word newspaper
as requires the publication to be made
where it will be likely to meet the eye
OF the General reader is quite apparent

TH1 PROFESSION OF JoURxALxsM.
Al college commencement dinner,
Mr.. 2. 4. White, editor 'of the Provi-
dence Or - Frees, was called upon to
speak for the profession Of journalism.
He said, in substance: "I have been
asked 10 say . word for profession
which does not need speaking for; the
press, like the poor. you have always
with You, and it needs no word from me
to Introduce il. The profession Of jour
nalism has grown up almost within the
memory Of those present. It is only .
few years ago that newspapers were not
the power that they are to day. Among
the influences tending to change the
character Of journalism and to elevate
it to its present high standard, that Of
the colleges Of the country and its insti-
tntions Of learning is one ef the sts ,ng-
est.
The Importance Of the influenced the
profession Of journalism leads to the
consideration. Of the raspensihility aktha,
journalist. There Is no othef class Of
professional men on whom so great re-
sponsibility rests. The duty of the
journalist to-day is not only TO present
to the world mirror of events, to hold
up a record Of contemporaneous history,
but also to present this record in such q
way that the proper lesson. may be
drawn from it. After midnight, within
an hour of the time when the paper
goes to press, the editor hears for the
first time Of some event Of great national
importance {; ON the spur of the moment,
without time for reflection, he must pre-
sent it to tho world in his editorial in
such way as will lead his readers to
look upon it in the right and proper
light. When we consider these things
we cannot overestimate the responsible
ity which rests upon him.
"The great newspaper to-day isnotthe
mouth piece of politicians, or intended
to promote the ambitions of single men
who control them. As a class, the
newspapers Of to-day are Independent,
owned and controlled by men who have
no special ambition of their own, and
who are hence able better to Judge
events. The public service of this
country is improving daily, and this fact
is due, to great extent, to the exist
ence Of free and Independent press.
"I would say to-day to those young
men who propose to enter journalism
you cannot place too high an estimate
upon the calling you have chosen. Enter
it with the idea of work. Journalism
to-day demands devotion such as no
other profession requires. OF those
who enter itnot more than one-fourth
continue to the end. The drudgery,
the long hours, the incessant demands
Of journalism are too great for many to
bear. But to him who enters it able
and prepared to undergo the necessary
strain and toll the possibilities Of re-.
wsrd are great"

A NICE QUESTION.

A question has arisen in regard to the
right or propriety Of professor of an
agricultural college. and consequently
an employe of the public, acquiring a
personal property in any discovery or
invention he may happen to make in
such employment. The facts are as fol-
lows:
Two Of the professors of the Illinois
Industrial University were employed in
making experiments in producing sugar
from sorghum. These experiments were
80 successful that the professors have
patented the processes used in their own
names and as their own property. As
the question of the propriety of this
course has arisen, the Principal of the
university, under his own signature, has
publicly defended it. But in the de-
tense he makes use of the following ex-
traordinary words in regard to the dis
.eovery becoming public property :
:" Becoming pnhlic pnoyerty sounds
we'll 10 , 6ne sentiment; but On a sem
timent it would be just as nice to.say
the 'dear public should own, as pub
lie. all the property in the State
Principal Scott uses an illustration
which completely takes the ground from
under his own feet; for the dear public
do really and in fact own all the prop
erty in the State. the apparent owners
being simply occupiers, subject to the
eminent domain and rights Of the State.
The State can, by due process Of law,
take possession of any persons farm or
house and put it to public uses, and in
every grant of land to an individual this
precedent right is reserved Moreover,
the State can take q persons property
and his person and use them for its own
service whom it is thought necessary by
the State Government. The question is
o narrow one. Must the farmers of Ill
inois and of other States be compelled
to pay tax to persons who, in the
course Of their employment in public
capacity and while under public pay,
discover any methods for processes
which they are employed to discover
These gentlemen were certainly en-
ployed to experiment in making sugar.
The cost of making the experiment was
paid ont of the university funds, which
are public moneys. To whom, then, dc
the results Of these experiments belong
Is the public to be satisfied with long
table Of figures showing the results,
while the methods Of producing these
results are kept secret and are reserved
as the private property Of the expert
| menters. for which those persons fol-
whom the experiments were made-the
farmers s-must pay if they desire to use
them 2-Co,antry Gentleman.
