A decision of the Supreme Court of YER
mont is reported to be causing alarm among
the owners of woodworking manufactures
on the streams of that State, in view of pros
pective suits for damages. Sawdust and 9TH
er refuse has been thrown into the waters,
without regard to consequences, and now the
court declares that no excuse which pleads
convenience or economy constitutes justii-
cation for this procedure, and that mill
owner cannot presume upon his proprietor
ship to the extent of inficting upon his
neighbors the damage arising from waste of
this description. The beneficial enjoyment
of a water privilege, says the court, doesnot
include the right to dispose of refuse in this
manner, except so far is indispensably
necessary.

A New Plan for Comet-seekIuz.
from thu Rochestsr parooe-ms


The number Of comets which yearly visit
our system and escape unnosiced must be
very great Only the larger and holder ones
fall victims to the telescope. One reason
that may be given for this is the desultory
work of the cometseekerz The editor of
the Science O6seruer in Boston now proposes
that the ample fields of the sky be divided
among the comet seekers and fenced OF, 50
that each may occupy his own preserve. Ii
is taken for granted that this division viii
promote better tillsge and more systematic
work. The plan is to bring the seekers to
such agreement that they viii consent to
confine themselves 10 their own fields without
trespassing on neighbors.
1t Is well to gather in as great a number of
comets each year as possible, and it may be
effectively done by the judicions division of
labor proposed But it is doubtful If those
interested viii consent to hare their fields
fenced in. DR.. Swift, to whom the PROPOSE
ton has been submitted, says he Is willing TO
preempt a section of the sky and Eo-ayer il
thoroughly with his telescope, but being IN
clined to industry will not consent to lie idle
after going over his field of an evening. He
win claim the privilege of promiscuous raid
ing in any field that he can reach. The only
way to cure this propensity is to give him
field enough to keep him busy. If he finds
nothing within a reasonable time, he win
probably want to trade fields or buy in some
lots lying in region uzore frequentsd by
heavenly game. We suggest to the editor Of
the Science Observer who offers to survey the
field and parcel it out. that il viii be impos-
sIbls TO carry out the plan 4 he insists upon
the suppression of trespass. Let the differ
emit comet-seekers take up lots and cultivate
them carefully, but do not confine them. Let
it be understood that the first duty is to hunt
over certain field with the greatest care be-
fore wandering about.
1t may be necessary to compel the seekers
TO give bonds for the strict performance of
their contract. They should be requested to
file claims for both summer and winter pas
turage, with description of instruments. Let
us also suggest that the northern heavens,
taking In the constellation of AndromedA be
first surveyed and pareelled out. It is the
most promising field and should be first oo-
eupied. Late corners can be given some Of
the back lots, such as the constellation of the
Whale.
No one should undertake to tin field un-
less determined to be thorough Comet
seeking is not an hilarious occupation Most
people would prefer 10 turn it over to
Chinese cheap labor. One can work q grest
deal at it without accomplishing anything
When one does find comet, be is quite Ger
tain of fame and q strong desire to hunt for
another Immediately. But let the seekers
have chance. Survey the heavens and give
them their deeds, and see what NEXT yesr's
crop will be.

scared by the Darkness,

CANoNsBURG, PA, October 28.-
There was darkness about the twelfth
hour yesterday over the land in the
country, near our city, and in conse-
quence of this, great fear prevailed
among the people of the rural districts
and much confusion among the brute
creation; the chickens began to make
preparations to roost, etc. 1t was by
many thought that the comet and sun
had had collision, and that with his
tail the former had struck the latter,
as the whale did the torpedo, only
with better effect.
Some were of the opinion that the
world was coming to an end, and right
early, and for time the long neglect
ed devotional exercises were resumed.
1t was 80 dark at high noon in the
country that lamps had to be lit in or
der that the people might see to go on
with their household duties. But
while all this fear and confusion was
going on in the cogntry, where people
usually rejoice in clear, open sky,
we, in the city, were hardly aware that
any special change had taken place,
as we are so accustomed to seeing
eclipses of the sun, which some months
are of almost daily occurrence.

TALmAGE ON BEECHER.

The Brooklyn TaDernncae Pastor
Approves his Colleagues Course.
DR.. Talmadge said in his Friday eve.
ming lecture in the Brooklyn Taber-
nacle IAN event has excited much
attention in these cities during the
present week. The question is asked
me on all sides what I think of Mr..
Beecher's resignation from the asso-
citation of which he was member.
MY answer is: Mr.. Beecher did just
as would have done under the same
circumstances. / would not stay in
the denomination to which belong
any longer than it would take me to
write my resignation if disliked her
doctrines. This is wide world, and
there is no need that any religious
teacher stay anywhere where he does
not want to stay. Mr.. Beecher's the
ology is very different from mine, but
he does not differ from me any more
than differ with him. He never in
terferes with me, and have no dispo-
sition to interfere with him. Every
little while some of the ministers of
America get sort of Beecherphobia,
and go foamiDg at the mouth at some
thing the pastor of Plymouth church
has said. People who have a small
congregation are apt to dislike preach
Or who has f9ll church. Why not
realize that there is plenty of room for
all our churches and all our theolQgies?
AS for myself, cannot forget that just
after came to Brooklyn Mr.. Beecher
in his pulpit went clear out of his way
to say pleasant things of myself, and
to encourage me as took charge of a
broken down church, and for thirteen
wears and more his church and ours
have never collided. He has more
people than he knows what to do with;
aud have more people than ! know
what to do with SO we are both hap
py. / belong to the company of the
orthodox, but if l thought that orthO-
doxy demanded that / must go to
breaking other peoples heads would
not be- orthodox five minutes. By all
this do not mean to say it makes no
difference what man believes-it
makes great deal OF difference. But
the best way for you to correct what
YOU consider error is in the most
straightforward way to preach what
YOU consider the truth. About twen-
ty-five years ago, when 1 entered the
ministry, resolved that [ would not
interfere with any religious worker,
however different his theories and
modes might be from mine. 1 have
fulfilled my promise. So much for the
ecclesiastical controversies of the past
week."

Changed His Opinion.

Professor Proctor has heretofore held
to the theory that collision between
the sun and comet will occur very soon,
in all probability before the end of the
present year, and that the result of
such collision would be fatal to the
earth, and cause the speedy melting of
our globe and all that is on it. He
now claims to have discovered by re-
cent Investigations that the substance
of which the comets are composed is
80 much less in magnitude than was
formerly held, that no very serious
consequences are likely to result to
either the sun or the earth from the
collision. He says mnch heat may be
generated. and, as consequence, the
winter be phenominally warm, but he
holds out the assurance to wicked
race, that they need not apprehend the
end ofthe world as result. How graf
flying it is to be assured that we have
escaped so great calamity.

CHARLEsTowN News and Courier:
I" We can count on the rapid develop
ment of cotton manufacturing in the
South. There are even now many
new projects under way which will
result in adding large num-
ber of new mills to the 252 already in
operation, SO that within a compare
lively few years we think it perfectly
safe to say that the South will have
800, 900, 900 invested in cotton mills,
with 2,5OO,0O0 spiddles and fully 100,
600 operatives, and in the not very
distant future even these figures will
be surpassed. The single impeachment
in the way is the increase in the cost
of manufacturing due to the protective
tariff. With free trade, and, conse-
quently, with the ability to turn out
goods at lower prices, the American
mills will command the cotton goods
trade of the world"

The price Of beef is going down in
New York, with increased shipments
of dressed meat by refrigerator cars
from the West. A big Chicago firm
has leased canning company's prem
ises at East st. Louis with capacity
for slaughtering 200 cattle day, and
for chilling 5000. They say that
they can chill meat for exactly what
it costs to handle ice. This chilled
meat will be sent East in immense
quantities in refrigerator cars. AL
ready Armour and other Chicago cap
italists ere engaged in the business
largely in Chicago. This is not pleas
ant news for eastern butchers, but it is
good news to the great army of meat
eaters, with whom beef has been lux
ury for months past.

what the Democracy Must DO.

Hon. George H. Pendleton, in his
speech at the great meeting in Column

the prominent Democrats of the State
met to rejoice over the great victory
said;
Let US now, this evening, in this
hour of rejoicing, take elrnest heed OF
the lesson of the election. five would
gain and continue to hold power, we
must deserve to hold it. We must
confine Federal administration and
Jurisdiction within the clearly ac-
knowledged limits of the Constitution.
We must recur constantly, both as to
policies and office-holders, to the will
OF the people. We must reduce all ex-
penditures to the lowest limit consist
ent with the due execution of the func-
tions of government We must re-
duce all taxation to he lowest point
consistent with such expenditure. We
must introduce reform which shall
secure economy, purity and efficiency
in civil administration. We must have
economical appropriations and cores
pondingly small revenues we must
have Just and honest taxation we
must have no assessment of office hold
ers for political purposes we must
have no sumptuary laws. no interfer-
ence with individual liberty not es-
sential to the maintenance of public
order-and as to all other public ques-
tions we must remit them to the wise
and tempered discretion of popular
judgment, subject always to the en-
lightened protection of personal liber-
ty and individual right which our the
ory of government and our Constitu-
tion afford. Individual right, home
rule, economical expenditure, just and
fair taxation, these are the synonyms
of good government. 1t we enforce
them honestly we shall gain and re-
tain power. In this sign we shall
conquer.
