AN INTERESTING DECISION.

The supreme court of Illinois has rem
dered an important decision in the case
of the Mutual Union Telegraph Com
psny against Adolph Katkamp, farmer
of Madison County, Illinois, who some
time ago secured judgment in the
county court for damages in certain
amount against the company s right-of-
way claims. The supreme court, in dis
posing Of this case, quotes the rights of
eminent domain, explaining that tele.
graph company sought to condemn a
strip Of land through quarter section
18 inches wide and three feet deep every
15O feet, from the point Of beginning,
etc. , of sufficient width to erect telegraph
poles and fixtures thereon, the poles to
be set along the line Of the right Of way
Of a railroad, which was fenced, and the

poles on the defendants land, which was
worth $50 per acre. Three witnesses for
the defendant testified that the damages
would be $40 apole, arising from their
interfering with the use Of farming i'm.
plements, while three witnesses for the
petitioner testified, one, that 80 cents,

Curious Patents.

LQ0 new 1Ork 11me6.J
The thousands OF patents which are
fled monthly in Washington from not
one of the least important signs Of the
restless vigor and progress which the
people of America are displaying in
science and mechanics. But while many
of these patents are Of great practical
value, there are great numbers which
would appear to be visionary, though
perhaps ingenious, to q practical man.
The " "cranks are almost as numerous
as the sound, practical men in making
applications to the patent department in
the capital. Not long ago an inventor,
who is now in jail on a charge of fraud
connected with the Peruvian claims, ap-
piled for papers of protection in connec-
tion with chemical composition that
would absorb as much caloric as might
be required and retain it for twenty-fo
hours. By the means of this invention
he saw his way to heat cars without any
chance Of danger from fire, or to allow
every man to carry about his own foot
warmer in his pocket. A more ingenious
gentleman has recently struck upon the
idea of preserving beef and mutton
while the animals to which these articles
belong are actually in life. For instance,
he will inject boric acid into the veins o1
sheep. The natural circulation of the
blood will carry the antiseptic through
every part Of the body, and when The
unfortunate animal that thus innocentlJ
preserves it's own flesh for future con
sumption comes under the care OF thu
butcher, it will be found that the NUT
ton will keep perfectly wholesome for .
! considerable period. ,.- ~.

ADVANCING PRICES.

The Public, which has latterly been
making interesting studies Of compara-
tive prices, has in late number shown
strikingly the advance in prices during
the past twelve months. Comparing the
prices in the middle of June last year
and this, it appears that the advance in
grain has been more than one-ifth, in
meats nearly one-third, in dairy products
more than ope-ha}f; in sugar the advance
has been trifing. Altogether the ad-
vance has been rather more than Is per
cent; $74 SO being required, June 10,
1882, to purchase the. food that could
have been purchased June IA, 1881, for
$59.70. In clothing, metals and lumber
there has been scarcely any change in
prices. Since November, 1878, the ad-
vance in gain has been more than one
half, in meats nearly one-half, in dairy
products little less, in sugar very
small advance. Altogether the advance
in the prices Of food has been so per
cent. what in November, 1873, cost
$49.54, now costing $74.93. Prices OF
clothing, metals and lumber have also
advanced, but in smaller percentages.
Aggregating all these classes Of articles,
it is shown that what now costs $144.53
cost only $10S.77 in November, 1873.
Prices at that time were much lower
than they were before the war. The
articles included in the Public's tables
would have cost $134. 81 at the prices in
January, 1860, and 1928. SO year ago.

THE FLOW OF PETROLEUM,

The absurdity Of the prediction made
by Mr.. Wrigley in his paper read before
the American Institute of Mining En-
gineers last February, that the supply
of petroleum will be exhausted in about
four years, is daily becoming more evil
dent. As has been shown in our COL
umns, says the New York Mail and Ex-
press, no geological survey can deter
mine the extent OF oil fields already
discovered, or what new fields may yet
be found. One of the newly discovered
oil wells in Warren County, Pa, has
been known to yield 1,105 barrels of oil
in one day, aud the discoveries in that
one county have been equaled in i'm
portance but once during the whole his
tory OF the petroleum industry. 1t il
said that the total amount of oil pro-
duced since the first discovery Of petro-
1nr.na on Oil OAoch Is 100, ,o0z, Tso DHr-
rels, and the total consumption 1856, ,1S1,-
4s7 barrels, leaving surplus of 81, ,OOO,-
600 barrels, which is about the amount
now in iron tanks in the oil regions.
The consumption in 1881 was 21 ,263, 740
barrels, SO that supply for nearly a
year and half is already provided. The
discovery of large oil fields in Germany
and Russia may possibly reduce the tor
eign demand for our petroleum, but the
use of oil is SO rapidly increasing that
it has been predicted that the worlds
consumption will soon be 100000 bar
rels daily. 1t is believed by experts
that important oil fields will be discov-
cred in other states than Pennsylvania
and New York, and it is ridiculous to
suppose that the flow Of petroleum in
country will cease within four years.

THE COREAN TREATY.

The United States is the second ma
tion to enter into treaty relations with
that little known country, Corea. Japan
has enjoyed commercial intercourse for
years, but no western power has previ.
ously been granted such a privilege.
Some of the European nations, especial
" England, are commonly credited with
more energy in extending their CONNER
cial relations than is the United States,
and therefore it is little remarkable
that two of the oriental countries, Japan
and Corea, should have been first
opened to the western world by the gov
eminent of the United States. Another
thing which makes the willingness of the
Coreans to cultivate closer relations with
the United States little singular is that
a special cause of hostility not long ago
existed between the two countries. In
1871 an American feet, under Admiral
Rodgers, was fred upon by the Coreans,
and in return the Americans landed and
captured some OF their batteries, after a
AOo o0AAAAA0As OAy WV JO0A . oSO OOACSs
showed that she had not forgiven the
drubbing administered by Admiral
Bodgers, for when, in 1880, Commodore
Shufeldt undertook the task of securing
assent to treaty of amity and commerce,
he was roughly repulsed with the declar-
alton that America was the enemy of
Corea. What has occurred since then
to alter the opinions of the Coreans re-
garding us, is a matter for speculation.
According to the Shanghai Herald, the
existing treaty of Corea with Japan is
of an exclusive character, and, if strict
ly construed would cause complications
between the two countries in connection
with the concessions extended to the
United States. The terms of the treaty
with Japan were that Corea agreed not
to enter into relations with any other
power except by the consent of Japan
and through her mediation. In the re-
cent negotiations no account was taken
of Japan, and it remains to be seen
whether she will resent the neglect.

year and last; three-year-old peach trees
in bearing, and two or three-year-old
grapevines that are loaded with fruit.
Blackberry and raspberry bushes are a
sight to behold, there being no room for
any more fruit without more bush. The
first ripe red raspberries were picked on
the 2sd ult: We have peach trees (aor-
mant buds) set this spring that have
made from twenty-eight to thirty: five
inches growth. Seeding peach pits
planted this spring have made from six
teen to eighteen inches, while our apple
gratis are from ten to eighteen inches
high. And as this spring was unusually
cold and frosty, and since the month of
April the season has been one OF rnpar-
alleled drought, for this region. it argues
that this part of Klickitat County at
least must possess the necessary ele-
ments for successful fruit and fruit t-tree

Alexaudria, Roiubarded.

The British fleet in Alexandra harbor opened
fire on the Notifications surrounding the city at
7:45 on the morning of the 11th inst. The forts
returned the fire in an ineffective manner, but
at noon all the exposed guns on the ratnparts
had been dismantled, and only those in shelter
ed positions were available. The forts and bat
teries on the sea line are in ruins and the Ras-
el-Tin palace caught fire during the lombard
ment and was partially consumed. Twelve men
from the Invincible landed in the surf spiking
the guns in Fort Mec and destroying the heavy
armament. Fort Marsa Ell Kanet, only COM
pleted q few days previous, blew up during the
engagement. The bombardment ceased at $50
in the evening, when the fleet withdrew from
the close positions they had taken. The ships
behaved magnifcently. The armor Of the
Superb was penetrated and one shot went clear
through the 1nfexible. The Egyptians stuck to
| their guns until the forts crumbled. Their loss
could not be ascertained but it ia thought to be
heavy. The ,sualhes on board feet consist Of
forty wounded aud five killed. The probability
is that the war will be short, sharp and decisive.

The bombardment WAS resumed with renewed
vigor on the 18th inst. The Egyptians shortly

and the other two that 81 a pole would
be full compensation, and that when the
poles followed the line of the right of
way of railroad company, as in this
case, in their judgment there could be
no other damage than the value of the
land taken. 1t also appeared that q
strip of land six feet wide, across the
whole track, would be two-tenths of an
acre, Of the value of $12 at $50 an acre,
and such strip 18 feet wide would be
six-tenths of an acre, and worth but $36.
The jury, by it verdict, gave the defend
ant $38. so. It was held, however, that
the verdict was manifestly too high, and
for this error the Judgment was reversed.
The supreme court further held that the
testimony of witnesses as to the amount
of damages where there is no basis Of
damages is of no value of evidence, and
therefore decided in favor of the tele-
graph company.

Webster's Commentator.

Speaking of Daniel Webster an excel
lent governor of Massachusetts related
this incident with some regret that it
was true. Webster. Mr.. (afterward
governor) John 81. Clifford, and others
were partaking Of refreshments, on a
certain Fourth of July, at friends
house, when some thin claret was
passed around and commented upon.
7.Rather light beverage" said Webster,
tsto make Fourth of July speech on"
A bottle of much-extolled apple brandy
being produced, Webster tasted it, and
the said: "Mr. --, where can get
such apple brandy as this?" II can get
you bottle or two, sir" was the reply.
"a bottle or two!" rejoined Webster;
II would like pipe Of it," Really,
what did this amount to? Was it not
Websterian? Hillard speaks of the
giants brain, giants heart, giants's
work of Webster. And the above was
giants speech. He paid a giants com
pliment to his host, just as you and
have perhaps said, in praise OF some
wine. 3'should like barrel of it."
