Her Dear Richard.

Mrs. Resolve had evidently read that
first impressions help law suit, and as
she came she puckered her mouth
into q bouquet of roses, bowed sweetly
and remarked:
Judge, I beg your pardon for this
trouble.n
20, don't, Mrs. Resolve. 1t is no
trouble at all, 1 assure you"
s.It was a vexatious little mistake, you
know, and / wouldn't have had it happen

.sAll q mistake, Judge. My dear
Richard is a great hand to frolic. He
had been chasing me through the house,
and as he went out / chased him to the
walk and threw. a splinter after him.
He'll be here directly and tell you that
we live in the greatest harmony, and
have never had one hard word in our fif-
teen years of welded life"

Line Fruit Trees. I'ea,ssi

A..
We have known cases in which much
unpleasantness has ensued between
neighbors on the question of ownership
of the fruit and nuts on trees growing
alongside of the line. The owner of the
land on which the trees stood claimed
al the fruit and nuts; and in one in
stance that we knew he insisted upon
his right to go upon his neighbours land
TO gather up the fruit that had fallen,
also TO get that which had been shaken
down. But the law, wherever case of
this kind has been tried, was against
this claim. The owner of the land into
which the roots of his neighbor's trees
ran is entitled to all the fruit 81 the over
hanging branches. -is' ~fo"
But the law seems TO be different in
England, Some time ago two neigh
bors, both lawyers, got into a contro-
versy Of this kind, but whether it was q
serious one or was intended simply to
advertise their trade, there was a differ
ence of opinion. Beithis as it may, one
had q pear-tree not exactly on the line
between him and his neighbor, but SO
that the roots went into his neighbor's
ground, and the branches overhung his
neighbor's property. One day FIVE ripe
pears fell off on the neighborss ground
from, the oyerhanging. branches, and
these were picked up and thrown over
the garden fence, and of course dam
aged by the throwing. He claimed,
therefore, sixtycents damages, the value
he put on the five pears. The matter
was In itself trivial, but no doubt there
had been much angry feeling and dis
pute about their respective s'rights''
long before this. The suit was simply
on "the last feather which broke the
camel's back" The court decided that
the defendant had no right to throw the
pears over and thus risk their damage,
but should have sent them around to his
churlish neighbor; but as the damage
was not total, the elaim was reduced to
twelve cents, presumably that though
bruised some parts of them were of use.
We can not imagine where the magis-
trate got his law from to obIige person
to carry the pears carefully 10 his neigh.
Dor, or to have anything to do with the
pears at all. But we fancy that he was
q country justice, who had his own ideas
of law, and not of the law itself as ii
existed. In this country such decision
would have been hooted at; and il we
had anybody here. mean enough to &c

Mr.. Darwin's Methods.

One scarcely knows what to praise
most in this great biologist, his meth
ods or his results. Down to his time
naturalists had been chiefly observers
and DISORDERS. Mr.. Darwin was all
this, but he was also an experimenter.
Let US illustrate his character in these
two respects. The philosopher is walk
ing over the pretty downs near Farm
ham. He sees a few Scotch frs on the
hilltops; they have been there for years
but now some Enclosures are made, and
very shortly there spring up sef-sown
frs in hosts too many to live. "On
looking closely between the stems of the
heath,n he says, "I found q multitude
of seedlings and little trees which had
been perpetually browsed down by the
cattle. In one square yard I counted
thirty-two little trees, and one of them,
with twenty-six rings of growth, had
during many years tried to raise its head
and failed. No wonder that as soon as
the land was inclosed it became thickly
clothed with young frs. Yet the heath
was extremely barren. Here
we see cattle absolutely determine the
existence of the Scotch fir" Then,
again, there was the curious bit of con-
uected natural history showing how the
number of old maids in q village might
determine the growth of the heartsease
or red clover. If there were many Ia
dies with pet cats there would be few
field mice; with few mice there would
be more red clover, which requires the
bees to fertilize it; ''hence we may in
fer as highly probable that if the whole
genus of humble bees became extinct or
very rare in England, the heartsease
aud red clover would become very rare
or wholly disappear" Facts like these
AIR. Darwin has marshaled by the
score, and Sir John Lubbock and 9TH
ers, following his example, are daily ex-
tending the record. They seem simple,
but they are of the utmost Importance,
as showing the dependence of one part
of the economy of nature on another

Suicide Under Peculiar Circumstances.

Daniel Fee, young man about twenty
six years of age, who lived with his par
ents in Philadelphia, committed suicide
under peculiar circumstances. He is
said to have been drinking heavily for
ten days, and when he returned home he
threw himself on sofa and complained
of feeling unwell. His sister proposed
that she should prepare him some Cruel,
and went to the kitchen for that purpose,
leaving him unbuckling his CATERS. Di-
rectly after she had gone he opened q
drawer, and seizing large butcher-knife
inflicted fearful cash across his throat.
Streaming with blood, he rushed out of
the open door, down the steps, and into
the street, clutching his neck and trying
TO hold the lips of the wound together.
His sister. seeing the pools of blood IN
the corridor and hearing the noise he
made going out, followed and brought
him back after he had gone about a
square and half. No sooner had he
reached the room where he had been sit
ting than he fell a corpse into his fathers
arms. No cause can be assigned for the
act

In the Cradle Of the Race.

Railroad building has begun in the far
East. The next quarter of a century
will see Nineveh, Babylon, Damascus,
and tho cities familiar to US through the
most ancient of ancient history, within
easy communication of the rest of the
modern world by a complete system of
railways. A road, 500 miles long, is
now under way from the Black to the
Caspian sea. 1t runs along the valley of
the river of Cyrus, south of the Cau-
casus, and from portion of it Mount
Ararat is in sight. 1t seems incredible
that there should be business to justify
railroads in these graves of old nations.
but wherever human beings live they
must travel, and food and clothing must
be transported from one point to another.
The steel rails will soon girdle Mesopo-
tamia, Central Asia and Arabia, and will
help to bring about the poets dream of

all the nations.-DemoreSfs Monthly.

monty used have, i'll ordinary seasons,
been drugs on the markets here; but of
late years this is gradually changing.
Labor is SO driven and divorced from
the land that, even in this year of
scarcity, much was lost for want of
help to save it. Our system of agricul-
ture, even with the most improved i'm
plements, is, consequent upon the En-
glish system of land tenure, an exhaus-
tive one. 1t must be changed or it
will work the most deplorable results.
1 have continually, not only in writ
ing for the REGISTER, but for every
paper for which / correspond, tried to
show why this change must be made.
Lately I have obtained and read
work on the subject that deservedly
stands as the very foremost of political
works that the United States-for that
matter, that the world-has produced.
1t is entitled Progress and Poverty"
by Henry George, Californian, and
would advise every reader of the REG
lister to obtain it, and read it, if he
cares to inform himself in regard to
public policy, or in respect to his pub
lie duty. The work is that of ripe
scholar, wide reader, and a fearless
Independent thinker, and written in
style that is always pleasing and often
eloquent. 1t has already been trans
lated into the principal European Ian
guages, and will mark the beginning
of a new era in political economy and
socia' science. 1t is more than anus
ing to read the conflicting comments of
the American and English press upon
this work; as to most of the editors and
writer's the ideas set forth in the book
are entirely new, and not only new but
directly counter to all that most of
them have been taught or ever heard
of.
Some OF our railroads seem to he
feeling the hard times The Chicago,
Alton u ST. Louis, which is near here,
seems to have taken off more than
half it's trains. More cattle and hogs
pass through, on this route, from Mis-
souri,, Kansas, aud Texas than are
shipped in Illinois. Of grain there is
little to ship here, and what there is
is mud bound, in farm granaries, and
likely to remain so till spring.
Local taxation has, upon the heels
OF an unpropitious season, increased
instead ot diminishing. II Scott coun-
ty we cannot complain OF this increase
much, but in Morgan there is a howl
as they have to pay more than double
the rate we do. The prospect is that
we shall howl next year, for the Coun-
ty Commissioners will be compelled to
go to the extent of the law, in road
taxes at least, and will not then have
enough, as the people have generally
discovered that a poll-tax is unconsti-
tutional. and they will not work. Ig
norance of law does not excuse the III
dividual here, but that rule does not
seem to work with Legislatures and
County Commissioners.
