damus, and to compel the railroads to re-.
ceive and transport freight rs common
carriers, decision was rendered to-day
granting the motion to quash the writs for
the mandamuses.
In his opinion the Judge says that ii the
power existed ut all to change the law in
the matter OF fixing the rate OF wages, such
power rested in the Legislature and not in
the judicial branch OF the Government.
He says he has come TO the conclusion
that the neglect or refusal Of the railroad
corporation to receive and transport the
freight rendered it by the citizens OF the
State was private wrong, for, which the
citizen is entitled 10 recover in, action at
law such damages as he sustained, and that
it is not such public wrong as will au-
thorize the issuing Of u writ Of mandamus.

This evenings lecture was delivered by
Rev. Alfred A. Wright, pastor Of South

"What Shall we do with that Boy"
In the introduction the speaker described
the typical boy, one with arms nervously
twitching, his eyes swapping, with curly
brown hair knotting all over his head and
covering skull which meditated pleasant
mischief. He will never be q hypocrite, Il
sanctimonious scapesrace, whatever else
he may be. What shall We do with him
The parent must guide him at home. The
rank natural growth must be by parental
hands trained along the best trellises,
over the best arbors, must be pruned and
cut away faithfully in the brownness OF
the vine that there may come the purple

been properly cared for by the parent, the
speaker showed that the Superintendent
should interest himself in his welfare,
and the right kind Of a teacher should be

and must know the boy himself. After
explaining the various elements which
should enter into the character OF the true
teacher, the speaker summed up the con.

THE STORY OF A STOLEN WATCH.
A Timepiece That Has Travelled Pretty Much
Around the World and Back.

A few days ago D1Ueev''s 20 -'- s.
gan recovered for Miss Lena Claus a little
watch that has been travelling pretty much
all over the globe. The watch was presented
to Mss Claus by a gentleman In Vienna,
Austria, long time ago. 1t contained her
monogram. On the 10th of last January the
room in the Geneva House occupied by Miss
Claus was entered by burglar, who, among
other things, carried off the watch, which
the lady priced very highly. On the 10Th Of
this month, just one year from the day the
watch was stolen, the officers were called to
the house In which Miss Fredericka Drell,
an aged spinster, was strangled to death, to
interview Chinaman who was offering for
sale lady's gold watch, on the front case Of
which was an open dial and on the back case
the monogram formed by the letters 81. c.
A few moments examination of the watch
satisfied them that II was the one that had
been stolen from Miss Claus.
The Chinaman, who had offered to sell the
watch for $7.5O, was interregated through al
interpreter as to his possession Of the prop
erty. He stated that he had obtained !
from one of his countrvmeu, who had pur
chased 1t from q Mrs. Brown, in house oil
Sixth street, for $40. This Chinaman wa
then interviewed, and his statement corrob

stated, further, that when he purchased
from Mrs. Brown he sent IL to relative i
China, but that his relative sent it back Wit
letter in which he said he did not like

was next interviewed by the officers, and he
statement was that she had obtained tl
watch from her husband, who had receive
II in payment OF debt, ard, having no nj
for it, had sent it to her daughter In Ne
York, who returned 1t by express with mo-
in which she said she did not care abo'
wearing q watch with another persons mo

daughter did not want 1t she sold 1t TO u

The Hour.


Finally the hour struck. The man had
long been ready. In his sixty-sixth year he
first held a command worthy Of his genius.
The opportunity had arrived late enough,
but the use he made of 1t was unparalleled
In military annals. Never was mighty
enemy more quickly and completely crush
ed. Koniggratz is indeed masterpiece; but
IL is the campaign, taken as whole, which
Il most astounding. The popular name
given to it, Of the Seven Weeks War, unlike
the generality of such terms, states less than
the truth. The event was really decided In
fifteen days from the declaration OF hostili-
ties. Honors came fast enough now to the
man who had placed himself above them.
In the space Of little more than foar years
he became Baron, Count, knight Of the
Bl .ck Eagle, Field Marshal; receiving,mor
over, that species of reward of which his
country is most niggardly, in the shape OF
large grants Of money.
The reasons of his amazing success are not
far to seek. 1t has been suggested that the
military art may be no very profound mys-
tery. that "its principles are the principles OF
plain good sense, and that quick eye,
cool head, and stout heart, will do more TO
make General than all the diagrams oil
Jomini.n These considerations do not quite
exhaust the subject; but there is no doubt
that the above natural qualifications, COM
bined with the serious study of tactics, are
pretty certain to produce great csptain,for'

NeD OTfeGnS IWes-DeWoCTdt.
A few mornings ago, on the TAO train,
there left our city party Of gentlemen, two
of whom had cause Of grievance against one
another which could only be settled by the
code. The usual preliminaries had passed,
and promptly at the appointed time both
parties boarded the train. The principals
were Mr.. Edmond Brou and Mr.. r. De
Bauthe. The former was assisted by his
friends Messrs. Ed. Peychaud and Charles
de Lasus, the latter by Mons. 7. Dinyeau
and Captain Louis Ransom. The weapons
selected were the short swords, or colichem-
ards, and after arriving At the spot, about one
mile and half above Kennerviilc, the party
repare for combat. The permission Of the
owner Of the plantation, Mr.. Tongue, was
obtained, and the combatants, drizziing
rain falling as the time, assembled beneath
| the sugar-shed attached to the sugar-honse.
Here the usual ceremonies were had, and

there was An attack and defense on either
side, both well executed, but not sufficiently

The fearful report is now being circulated
that knee -brecches are shortly to come In
vogue. The st. Louis Globe Democra re-
porters have been interviewing the tailors Of
that city upon the subject. They were Of
the opinion that an attempt would be made
to introduce the costume In this country but
that our climate and life would never allow
Ii to become general fashion. A fastidious
beau and we'll known leader In society was
enthusiastic over the prospect Of such . tei-
let. He said il was needed reform, great
reform, and that all great reforms Of this
kind went through three processes--ridicule,
argument and adoption. He thought this
was now going through the process Of ridi-
cule, would shortly reach the argument, and
then Ii was but another step to adoption. Il
il our opinion tl,al the spindle-shanked nan
will camp on the ridicule stage and all the
argument in the world will never bring him
to surrender 70 the theory Of adoption. The
