In many of the States it has been and is the
custom to stop the running OF railroad trains
on Sunday. This is done under the old law
which prohibits the prosecution Of labor on
the first day of the week, excepting labor Of
necessity, charity and mercy. The matter
came up the other day in the Kentucky Court
of Appeals on suit on behalf of the State
against the Louisville and Nashville railroad
company, covering its business Of Sunday
trains The State authorities acknowledged
that the trains carried mails as well as pas
sengcrs, baggage and freight The court said
that work of necessity in these laws does
moi mean absolute physical necessity. The
law regards that as necessary which the COM
mon sense Of the country in its ordinary mode
OF doing business regards AS necessary. The
necessity may grow out OF the general course
of busint IS, or even be nm eXigency Of II par
ticular vocation and il sustained the law.

Congressman Hewitt of New York tells an
interviewer that he believes that the tariff
will be the leading issue in 1884. The Re
publcans, he admits, are united on the policy
OF protection while great diversity exists
among the Democrats. "lu my view" he
said, ''the tariff should be so amended as to
afford protection To those interests which
have been ios'ercd by high tariff. 1t would
be cruelty 10 withdraw protection suddenly

been encouraged to place their capital by

A Very Natural Mistake.

A young man from one of the back
towns came IN to buy present for his
girl one day last week. His wondering
gaze being transfixed by the grotesque
display in one of the dry goods windows,
he entered the store and bashfully
stepped up to pretty young lady be-
hind the counter
How much are those?" pointing to q
pair of handsome wrought nickel-plated
garters in the window.
''Seveuty-five cents, replied the young
lady sweetly, handing out the article in
question, and blushing slightly.
Il think they are kinder pretty, don't
your inquired the young man, anxious
for somebody else's opinion.
Very" replied the young miss; 'they
are the latest STYLE"
Everybody wears them, don't they?"
continued the young man.

lady affecting an upconcerned air.

nervously. "Do you think she would

II should think she might-I-I-I
don't know" returned the young lady,
blushing again.
well, don't hardly know myself"
said the young man. taking up one of the
articles and examining it closely.
"You don't suppose they are too large.
do you?"
"Why, ILL" stammered the
young lady, the blush growing deeper.
They seem sorter big like continued
the young mar, not observing her con
fusion; but of course 1 wouldn't be
certain. "She's middlin' size, but not
very fat, and mebbe these would be .
little too loose. should think she was
just about your bigness, and Of course if
these would fit you they would tit her.
No, just suppose you try them on, an
if"
"Sir" exclaimed the young lady be-
hind the counter, in voice that lifted
the young man on the end of his hair,
you are insultingw And she swept
away to the endsof the store. leaving the
bewildered young man standing in dumb
amazement, holding in his hands what
he supposed to beautiful pair of brace
let's. And when one of the male clerks
came and explained his mistake, the
young man from the back town struck .
bee line tor his team, and in a very brief
space of time was tearing toward home
ut a rate that threatened to irretrievably
ruin the old family horse. He wont
buy any bracelets now until he's married.

THE MOTHERS GRAVE.
SARAH A. PYE.

Beneath the chancel stone she Law,
Her fair bends folded on her breast,
While marble angels, night and day,
At nead and foot watched DER her rest.
The sun shown through those arches dim,
In showers of crimson, green and gold,
On the white wings of cherubim,
And still, calm faces, pure and cold.
And, day by day, with serious face,
The nurs led in her two fair boys,
Who, as they nearcd the sacred place,
Would hush their baby mirth and noise.
And listen while their nurse would tell
Of her who slept beneath the stone;
That father, too, who loved them we'll,
But who now wandered forth alone.
In wild rebellion at the fate
That robbed him of his earthly crown;
Regardless, too, that soon and late
The everlasting arms reach down,
And in their tender clasp, unfold
The smitten, struggling human soul,
Until those doubts and shadows cold
Shall backward like a curtain roll.
When peace shall take the place of strife,
And sunbeams chase away the gloom,
Then memories of that bright, young life
Shall fill his years with rich perfume.
Fair English blosso n ! purely sweet,
Apart from loye and life she lies;
No rough road awaits those tender feet,
No tears shall dim those tender eyes.
o soul above thy sense of loss
Bear this in mind, while thou dost weep
Here is the crown if thine the cross;
lie giveth His beloved sleep!

interpretation Of this act is not hard to
reach. In the first place, it allows
accumulation only in favor Of one
class of persons, Who are to be possessed
Of two qualifications: 1. They must be
minors: 2. They must be such persons
who. if not minors when the deet u will
goes into effect, will be entitled to take
the rents and profits from which the ac-
cumulations are to arise" The minor
was, therefore, declared entitled to the

BEFORE becoming iubilant over the passage
Of the anti-polygamy bill, itwould De well to
wait and see if it does not share the fate of the
law of 1862 on the same subject The Repub-
lIcan party is responsible for the manner in
which it was rushed through Congress the
other day, without giving an opportunity to
ihe friends of toe measure TO eliminate from
IL those features concerning which grave
doubts are entertained as 10 their con-
stitut;ouaiitv It certainly looks as
if there was an ulterior purpose
underlying the haste with which this impor-
tant measure WIS forced through congress
A delay of one day or even one month would
not have worked harm to the bill or It's friends
nor in any measure jeopariizsd its final pas

and it is to be regretted that the Republican
members played the part of demagogues and
preferred to endanger the usefulness of such
an important measure in order to obtain q
temporary political advantage.

thigh, and Ebbert was wounded in the face,
Walton was shot in the shoulder by one OF
the Pitman's. After the shooting the emil
