Importation of Potatoes and Cabbage
Into New York.

Since the middle of November the i'm
portatlon of potatoes from Great Brit
ain and Germany has been steadily in
creasing until now we are getting from
1000 to 5000 tons of potatoes a.week7
the Anchor, Cunard, StaC1,-InnIan and
White Star Lines bringing from 500 10
1900 tons of potatoes 1n~eaeh of their
vessels. Owing to this wholly anpreee-
dented business. which, so far as the
oldest produce brokers can remember,
has never been attempted before, the
cost of freight transportation from Liv-
erpOOl has advanced 80 per cent in the
last four months, the rate now being
about 33 shillings ton. The potatoes
cost in Liverpool from SIS to $50 ten
according to quality, and are sold here
at 80 cents OF 81 90 a bushel. The best
potatoes cost delivered in New York
warehouses, after all expenies of freight,
carriage, commissions, insurance, ETC., are
paid, about S33 ton, 2Hd sell for S3S,
leaving profit of about S5 a ton.
There is duty of Is per cent a bushtl
upon potatoes. which protects American
farmers to the extent OF 45 cents bar

of bags containing pototoes. The bags
are of three sizes-an English hundred
weight and half bag, containing les
pounds, three bashel bag, containing
$50 pounds, and two hundred weight
bag, containing 224 pounds.
The price of potatoes in this city, in
stead of decreasing under the influence
of foreign competition, is higher now
than when the importation began. Good
potatoes now sell at retail for 81 a bar
rel. Produce dealers say that had it not
been for the English and German pota
toes the price in our markets would be
about double what it is now.
The high price of cabbages-from S15
to $50 hundred, wholesale--has led to
large importations from Germany. They
are brought in crates and some sauer-
kraut is imported ready picked in tier
ces. Turnips, celery and carrots are al
so to be seen among the freight of all
incoming vessels. While we are i'm
porting large cargoes of hay, that crop
having been comparative failure inEn-
gland and Scotland. The price of potatoes
and cabbages in the markets will prob
ably increase slowly until the new pota-
toes arrive.

Law of Branches OverhangiDg Neigh

Two persons own land separately by a
little fence. which is common proper,y
between the two parties. One has an
apple tree on his side of the fence. whose
limbs Overhang the fence on the side of
the other. The question often asked is,
Do the apples that fall on ones land be-
long to the other, or to both? This sub
Ject HIS been several times discussed,
with with some contradictory decisions
and judgments, but the rules are now
pretty well established. If the stem or
truhk of the tree grows so close to the
line that parts of its actual body extend
to each, neither owner can cut it down
without the cOnaent of the other, and
the fruit is to be eGuitably divided. If
the stem of the tree stands wholly with
in the boundary line of one owner. he
owns the whole tree with its products,
although the roots and branches extend
into the property of the other There
was an old rule of law that the latter
might claim from the yield of the tree
as much as would be an offset for the
nourishment it derived from his estate.
but this is now obsolete. The law gives
the land owner on whoeS soil the tire,
stands the right to cut it down at his
pleasure, and to pluck all the fruit from
it while it stands. In New York State
the courts have decided that trespass for
assault would lie by the owner of the
land over which the branches extended.
II he prevented the owner of the tree,b by
personal violence, from reaching over
and picking the fruit growing upon
these branches while standing on the
fence dividing the lands. The owner of
the land over which the branches extend
may lop the branches close to his line.
He may also dig down and-eut the roots
square with lis line, if he 50 elects. In
plain terms, if no portion of the trunk
is within his line he may refuse all tres
pass of the tree on his premises, either
above the ground or below il. But if
he gives the tree license either to extend
extend its roots under his soil or to,
hang its branches over his premises he
does not thereby gain any right to its
fruit. He cannot pick it for himself
nor interfere wirh the picking by the
owner, as long AZ the latter remains in
the tree or ON the fence which divides
the property. This right to the fruit
does not, however, permit the other
owner to come upon the soil on the 9TH
er side of the line to gather the fruit
which falls without violence to the
ground on that side may thus become
the property of its owner-Phila. Pub.

Is Our Country Degeneratingp

Some of the Eastern papers and phi
losophers are discussing the prevalence
of fearful crimes. One prominent man
in Maine, whose opportunities for OBJ
servation are large, is mystified by the
fact that most of the serious crimes in
that State are perpetrated in the small
towns where the liquor traffic is strictly
prohibited. Moreover they are commit
ted to the face of an unprecedented ac-
tivity in moral and religious teaching of
every variety. He is inclined to attrib-
ute the fact to atmospheric influences.
On the other hand the Rev. DR.. HilL
formerly President of Antioch and Har-
ward colleges, attribute the prevalence
of the more revolving crimes to transi-
tion stage of religious belief. The pres
ent generation is passing from under the
restraint of religious belief and teach
ing; hence license with moral perturba-
tions, with crimes against society. 9th
ers, and there is force in what they say,
claim that the increase is apparent rath-
er than real. Our population has rapid
ly grown, and of course there has been
corresponding growth of violation Of
law. Add to this the facts that the years
following wars are always years of de.
moralization, and that while formerly
many effenses we're never heard of out
side e-theocommunIty in which they were
perpetrated, they are now aheralded al
over the country by tho telegraph, ant
it may be concluded that the nation il
not going to the bad as some of the de-
spending prophets would have us think
There is far more rascality of all shades
than there should be, yet the .publicft,
given to it, and keener-appreciatio Of
evil than formerly. prevailed, may leaC
one to regard the situation as worse thar
itIs.-(Cin. GaZ.

When Shall a Child Begin School /?

The question is discussed by DR.. Will
liam Pepper, Provost of the University
of Pennsylvania, and Professor of the
Practice of Medicine in It's Medical De-
partment, in brief but pointed artiole
in Our Continent, the illustrated weekly
lately launched in Philadelphia. The
Professor concludee his discussion with
these words: MANY cases of Indigestion,
or nervousness, of general weakness,
even of apparent backwardness of intel
lect, are due to insufficient outdoor exer-
else and premature study. Children
vary greatly as to the age at which they
can begin to bear restraint on the free
dom of their movements and strain
upon their attention and memory. Mill
may have begun Greek at four, but
Hunter did not know his alphabet at
seven. The only thing certain is that
any study or any attendance at school
before the child can bear it without eff
fort or fatigue is not only useless, but
hurtful, and will surely retard the edu-
cation aud lessen the future vigor and
capacity of mind.

she is to be measured in this Govern
ment of the people, by the people, and
for the people"
Mr.. Speaker, there are many objec-
tions to this bill which my time forbids
to name. 1t is unjust to the small States :;
it il unjust to the States whose popula-
tion is rapidly increasing. This mystic
rious and misleading modulus is itself
an error and source of confusion in
stead of a means of truth and accuracy.
1t is founded upon false basis. In a
great measure like this our cnly aim
should be equality and iustice-aboye
ali, the full recognition of the equality
of every citizen in all his rights as a
man and not rs child of fortune or of
poverty. The spirit of the age in all free
lands has as its most marked character
istic the recognition of the individual
and sacred manhood of every human
being. / trust this bill, which touches
the highest rights of every citizen of
the United States, will be based on that
principle.

Married Folks Would be Happier
If home trials were never told to neigh
bors.
If they kissed and made up after eve
ry quarrel.
If household expenses were proper
toned to receipts.
If they tried to be agreeable as in
courtship days.
If each would try and be support
and comfort to each other.
If each remembered the ether was a
human baing, and not an angel.
If women were so kind TO their hus-
bands as they are to their lovers.
If fuel and provisions were laid in
during the high tide of summer.
If both parties remembered that they
were married for worse as well as for
better.
If men were as thoughtful for their
wives as they were for their sweet
hearts.
II there were fewer silk and velvet
street costumes and more plain, tidy
house dresses.
If there were fewer "ple&se darlings
in public and moro common manners in
private.
II wives and husbands would take
some pleasure as they 60 along, and not
degenerate into mere toiling machines
Recreation is necessary to keep the
heart in its right place, and to get alene
without it is big mistake.

OVER THE WAY.

No fresh young beauty, laughing eyed,
Who reckon lovers by the score,
But just as sweet old maid who died
While l was yet in pinafore.
She lived upon the shady side
OF that old fashioned country street,
A spreading chestnut greenly tried
To screen the door of her retreat.
A tiny garden, trim and square, =
A snowy flight of steps al owe,
And sweet suggestions in the air
Of all the flowers III, poets love.
Within the trellised porch there hung
A parrot in 4 FURNISHED cage
A foolish bird, whose mOcking tongue
Burlesqued the piping tones of age.
A branching apple tree oerspread
A rickety old garden seat;
No apples sure were e'er so red!
Or since have tasted half as sweet
In Memory's enchanted land,
| see the gentle spinster yet,
With watering pot in mittened hand,
Gaze proudly at her mignOnette.
And when the spring had grown to June
She'd sit beneath the apple tree,
And dream away the afternoon,
With some quaint volume on her knee
A gray robed vision of repose.
A pleasant thought in Quaker guise;
For truly she was one of those
Who carry heaven in their eyes.

How He Came to Die.

A smart young sprig of lawyer bad
a grave doctor on the witness stand in a
case of assault and battery, and he ques-
toned him numerically:
"Ah, Doctor2" inquired the lawyer,
"did understand you to say the cut in
the mans head was dangerous ?"
"Yes, sir" replied the doctor.
"Well, Doctor, doesn't it sometimes
happen that even less cut than this one
is dangerous?"
"Yes, sir"
"And, Doctor, is it not true that even
scratch is dangerous
Yes, sir, and L have known of cases
resulting fatally when not even a
scratch was visible. Only recently a
man died under such circumstances
"Ah, indeedP' quickly put in the at
torney, in a pleased and satisfied way.
"Will you be kind enough TO tell the jury
the facts?"
Certainly, if you desire it,"
"You say there was not a scratch on
him 7"
"Not one that could find"
"And he died?'
YES"
"Now. Doctor, just tell the jury how
it was"
"Well, you see, he had the cello and it
doubled him up, so that he was dead be.
fore could get him untangled."
The smart young attorney called an
other witness.-l Jamestown Journal.

THE Tammany members of the New
York General Assembly Wednesday
voted for johnson, the Republican can
didate for clerk, and elected him. In the
Senate, the three Tammany men voted
for resolution giving Lieutenant Gov
ernor Hoskins, who is a Republican. the
power to appoint the Senate committees,
and it was adopted. The regular DEM
ocrats have only succeeded in getting the
Speakership of the House, and thus the
control of the House committees. The
Senate committees will be Republican,
and the President pro tenn. of that body
will probably also be Republican. The
days work was good day for John Kel-
ly, but better one for the Republicans.
The latter party will have as much to
say about New York legislation this
winter as the regular Democrats.

THE Revised New Testament, after
going off with rush. ceased to sell for
time. The booksellers had all bought
literally, and the wants of the public
we're more than supplied. Thirty edi-
tions were published in this cOuntry,and
the total sale in England and the Uni
ted States has been about 100000 CO.
pies. DR.. Schsff now reports to the New
York Post that the demand is revivlng
and the sale much better than it has
been for months. There is not much
violent adverse criticism on this side of
the Atlantic, but in England Dean Bur
zon, of Chichester, very stiff and mar
row churchman, has assailed it in the
Quarterly Review. Nothing about it
suits him, but he is specially fierce
against the establishment of new text
on the basis Of the great manuscripts,
the Alexandrine, Vatican, and Sinaitic.
He appears to think that the editors of
250 years ago were more competent than
those of to-day. These extreme posi-
tions have been ably answered, but the
contest is still going on.-Cin. Gazette.
