Certain steamboat owners have already
found consolation for the opinion of the So
icitor of the Treasury that their boats are
beagoing vessels and not excursion steamers
They declare that, as seagoing vessel cannot
be sued, they cannot be held liable at $4,000

was dangerously otherwise on excursion steam
ers. Now, perhaps some managers will put In
the new bukheads required, and drop some
otheT lne-saving precautions. But they may
be altogether too safe from financial risk If
they do. Under those circumstances nobody
might patronize their lines.

Regardless of consistency of conduct. They
always have been 50 but during the debate
on the bill TO reduce Internal Revenue
taxes they have made conspicuous examples of
themselves in this respect. They have cried
loudly for lower taxes and yet would not vote
for the measure the Republicans had proposed
which lightened the peoples burdens by a
hife of twenty-fOur millions. They kept 1t
up on this line, and when the bill was
passed yesterday, by vote of 1877 to

Each of our City Coroners has young physician
as an assistant whose duty it is to decide for him
and the juries what the subjects of inquest died Of.
1t would seem from the comments of Judge Law
renee on the irregularty Of the commitment papers
in the case of Ramscar by Coroner Brady that an at
tachment In the form of young lawyer is also
needed by some coroners Still more recent rulings
of Coroner Merke in the Gutermuth inquest would
seem to confirm this opinion.

Some Ancient Trees.

Switzerland has its old chestnut trees ON
linden of Fribourg, the history of which is
said to go back to the time OF the conflicts
with Charles the Bold. NJ Louis Pire, pres
dent of the royal botanical society of Bel
GUM, has found a fir-tree in the forest of Al.
liaz, canton of Naud, which he believes TO be
still older than the linden of Fribourg and
considers entitled to be regarded as the old.
est and most remarkable tree in the canton,
if not in the whole confederation. II is
growing near the baths of Alliaz, at q hight
of about 1900 feet above the hotel and 900
feet above the sea, surrounded by a forest Of
frs, which 1t overtops by more than 30 feet.
The trunk of this tree is 10 metere, or little
more than 30 feet in circumference at the
base. AT about a yard from the ground it
puts out, on the south side, seven offshoots,
which have grown into trunks as strong and
vigorous as those of the other trees in
the forest. Bent and gnarled at the
bottom, these side trunks soon straight
en- themselves up and rise perpen icu-
larly and parallel TO the main stem. This
feature is not, perhaps. wholly unparalleled,
but another most curious fact is that the two
largest of the slde-trunks are connected with
the principal stem by sub-quadrangular
braces resembling girders. These beams
have probably been formed by an astomosng
of branches, which, common, enough among
angiosperms, is extremely rare among conf
fers; but it has been impossible TO ascertain
the manner In which the ingrowing of one
branch into the other has been effected. The
adaptation by which limb, originally dcs-
tined to grow free and bear foliage, has been
converted into living stick of timber is a
strange one, and affords new illustration Of
the power of nature to tit itself to circum.
stances. The space between the rough floor
ing formed by the growing together Of the
otfshoots, at their point Of departure, and the
girder-limbs, is large enough to admit of
building comfortable hermits hut within it.

The railroads and the People.

The manner in which the railroads apply
the peoples nose to the grindstonc is well
illustrated by some fHcts collected by the
Rutland Hfrdh in regard to transportation
rates ON coal. The Heyald says; The price
for coal charged by the Delaware and Hud-
son Canal company, to dealers here, is as
follows: Egg and crate, 500; stove,
So 20; chestnut, $3.50, for gross tons. Coal
is delivered at Bellows Falls for the same
price as here despite the fact that the Della
ware and Hudson pay $l.70 for Transports
ton from Rutland to Bellows Falls, and
they sell coal at the same price at
all stations between Rutland and Bellows
Falls as they do here. At Brandon
coal costs the same AS here and at all
stations between here and Brandon.
The Bennington and Rutland Railroad
company have an arrangement with the
Delaware and Hudson by which the Della
ware and Hudson pay them annually for
hauling 5000 tons Of freight from Troy to
Rutland whether any is hauled or not, and
last year the Bennington aud Rutland did
not haul to exceed 300 tons. The Delaware
and Hudson also pay the Central Vermont
annually for hauling $500 tons from Lara.

or not. The rate from Troy to Clarendon
for coal via Bennington and Rutland rail-
road is 1.50 per ton. but to Rutland 1t Is

New York Oct. 3l.-Mrs. Samuel Scguin,
aged 80, wife of Dr. Edward c. Seguin, a
noted specialist, on brain diseases, shot and
killed her three children, and then killed
herself with revolver She had been de-

There was no family trouble. DR.. Seguin

lose his reason, because of the deed. The
couple moved in the best society, Mrs. Sc
gum had led the two youngest into closet
and locked them in while she murdered the
Oldest boy. The mother then proceeded to
the closet and with another pistol shot her
two other children. Nothing was found to
explain the motive of the crime. The face
of the little girl wore look of innocent sur.
prise that cut more deeply than any Other
feature of the dreadful deed. On the table
lay n box of cartridges and third pistol.

How Nrs Langtry Looks.


She stood erect, with her shoulders back,
and the full lines of her figure perfectly re-
vealcd by dress that fitted without a
wrinkle. The dark blue bodice was unreliev-
ed except by brilliant mass of gold braid
down the front and around the collar, and
the pltatcd skirt fell in straight lines within
few inches of the deck. Beneath were
two remarkably small English walking
shoes, and on her head the actress wore q
small hat that has been named after her.
Her hair was in loose and graceful ringets
over her forehead aud drawn in simple
knot behind. Her waist was very small,
and her whole costume was characterized
by elegant simplicity. Her movements were
extremely graceful aud dignified, and she
Stood with her hands clasped and her head
slightly bent, among the crowd of strnn-
gers. The picture Of repose. Her hsir is
brown with inge of rich auburn that
looks like gold.
Mrs. Langtry is unquestionably very
beautiful woman. Her beauty is of the kind
that battles photography, and those who have
seen her pictures only, have no conception oil
the charm of her facc. Her complexion is
pure white, almos. transparent. There is
on either check a dull, rich and scarcely
distinguishable color, that softens tbs contour
of the face but Otherwise her skin is as white
as snow. The ears are at purely white as
the forehead. and the eyebrows are beaul-
fully outlined. The mouth in rcposc has n
pathetic or serious expression, and the lips are
as clearly cut as statues. When she smiles
perfect teeth are revealed, and the checks wrin-
kle up into two deep little dimples. The
eyes, however, are the most winning feature
Of all. They are gray with little jet black
pupils, and are shaded by long dark ashes.
They are wonderfully expressive, and Ger
tainly very effective; for they did remarkable
work yesterday Mrs. Lanetry raised them
slowly, and glanced around into the faces OF
the men about her, looking at each one fully.
The faces had been slcepy,perhaps, but they
woke up
