where that duty is performed, until
the train reached Hudson, shortly
after midnight. The conductor then
declared that tie ticket was no long
er valid, demanded fare for the rest
of the trip, and upon Auerbachs re-
fusal, put him of. Thereupon he
brought suit for damages, and, il is
the final decision in his favor the re-
port of which ha. just been pab-
lished. The court holds thst the
"use" of the ticket on the afternoon
of the 2eth, when he offered it to the
conductor, was the "use" contein-
plated by the restriction. When
this evidence that he had paid his
fare was presented the ticket had
performed its Office. If the company
meant by its limitation that the. pas
senger must finish his journey before
the expiration Of the day fixed they
should have said SO.
The chief interest in this decision
| is, of course, that it settles the law
SO far, at least, as New Yo'k is con-
cerned-and apprises ticket buyers
what their rights are. 1t is inter-
esting, however, in another aspect.
1t tends to revive the confidence Of
the people in the old fashioned theory
concerning which they have been
driven into doubt, that "the law ia
the perfection OF common sense. "

country there is no document OF
greater Importance and yet more
generally misunderstood than bill
OF lading representing merchandise.
No matter how great or how small
the value at stake, there is something
about bill of lading that gives it
Importance in the mercantile world.
It is therefore all the more remarka-
BILE that a document of such conse-
ouences and in such general use
should not be better understood. 1t
lie safe to say that nine-tenths of the
mercantile community have hereto
fore looked upon bill of lading as
| unquestionable evidence, not only
that the goods mentioned in it had
been received at the point of ship
ment, but that if the goods were not
delivered the carrier was liable for
their actual value. Perhaps the
apology for a better understanding
on the part of the business commune
ty is the unfrequent tests that are
brought to light under this head.
Minor claims for short delivery are
often settled by the carriers on e.
quNable-gr grounds in some cases to pre-
serve the reputation of the freight
line before the public. A question
Of vital importance to our manufact
uring interest has lately been put t.
the test, which cannot fail to inter.
est the entire business community
1t seems that certain agent repre-
senting the White Line Transit Com
pany in the state of Mississippi ant
bappointed by the Louisville d Nash
Vile Railroad, which is part OF tn
White Line system, suddenly disaF
peared and is found to have signe'
, bill of lading and drawn against
} considerable amount of Cotton whic
the Louisville g. Nashville Railroa
claim was never shipped and conse
queutly not delivered. The holder
of these bills of lading are now seek
ing redress from the White Lin
Transit Company, but no liability
admitted on their part 50 long as II
proof is wanting that the cotton wi
delivered into their possession. =
The question is now likely to 60
, the courts, and the result will be an
; iously awaited. on'the part of Il
railroad company it is claimed tn
\ the decision in the United Stat
J court have released the common ca
rier from all liability ehss it W

hand, the decisions in New York a

The Crops.

Lincoln, Neb., 6.-Very encouraging
reports are stiIl coming in regarding the
crops. 1t il generally belle Ved corn will
be big crop, gbstevar may be the con-
dition of the weather from now on, bar
ring only possible early frosts along the
Nj souri, River. Many fel5s will aver
sge fifty bushels to eighty bushels per
acre.
As evidencing uncommon maturity of
corn, ears of field corn are already in the
market, with well developed kernels.
Good judges estimate the Gerage Y led
at fifty bushels per acre, which, the acre
age being nearly 2,OOO, 100, will make
bushels Of corn in Nebraska
this year. 1t must be remem bered
that there is scarcely any old corn Ia the
state and it is doubtful if much Of the
new crop will be shipped eastward. Ii
will be used largely at home for stock
and carried over until next years crop lie
gathered. Many farmers this year have
to buy corn though they cold earlier for
much lower prices. About all the old
grain in the state is stacked. Where
wheat has been threshed it has gone a.
high IS thirty-hve bushels per acre.
Generally speaking the crop is q good
one and will not be less than twenty
millions bushels. Oats are q big crop,
though they suffered some injury. some
fields show seveDty-fve bushels per acre.
The average will be about fly. The
latest reports from Minnesota show little
grounds for fear of injury having been
done yet by wet weather.
Chicago, 8.-IndianapOlis special: The

THE MEAT SUPPLY OF EUROPE.

The English are congratulating them
selves that Australia, where the annual
increase OF sheep is seldom under
twenty-five millions, and the average of
possession for each inhabitantis reckoned
at twenty-three sheep and three COWS, is
to become the principal market for fur
Europe with meat. The Eu-
ropean nations produce less meat than
they require by 793, 600 tons, and this
deficit will increase, since England and
France show falling off in stock, the
one of sheep and the other of cattle.
Meanwhile, the average yearly increase
in population of Europe as a whole, is
three Millions A table of consumption
and production shows that the consump-
ton of meat in the United Kingdom and
on the continent is 8,112, 900 tons, and
the production 1918, 600 tons. But on
the continent the deficit is only 143, 900
tons, against deficiency of $50, 900 tons
in the United Kingdom. Colncident
with the growth Of population there is
an increase of average meat consumption
by each inhabitant following better
wages. The two facts of an enlarged
population and more general use of a
meat diet point TO the necessity that the
rest of the world feed Europe in part.
Last year Europe paid 435, 200, 900 for
meat from over the Seas In Great
Britain the importation of meat, includ
ing cattle, increased from 81, ,230 tons in
1850, and 14l, ,225 tons in 1870, to $780,
800 tons in 1880; an average in the Re.

A TraQicaI Duel.

LIE Charivari gives the following his
tory of a famous tragical duel: Col.
D-y. one of the most terrible fire.
eaters of the Restoration, had taken
shelter from the rain one evening under
the gallery of the Panoramas. A young
medical student passed by with his
sweetheart on his arm; he imagines that
the colonel stares insolently at her, and
forthwith slaps the colonels face. The
latter very coolly produces his card, de-
mands that of the man who thus m
suited him, and observes, as he receives
it: "You do not know what you have
done, young man; you have struck Col.
D." The student turns pale on
hearing that terrible name. Neverthe-
less as he is man of courage the duel
is agreed upon. In order to equalize
the chances, pistols were chosen. The
adversaries were posted twenty PAGES
apart, with permission to shoot as they
pleased. and to advance close to one an
other. The student raises his weapon,
takes good, long aim at the colonel
and misses him. The colonel advances
with steady strides, comes up to bus ad'
versary, places his hand upon the lads
breast. and, after moments silence
exclains: sThis heart does not bea'
too quickly, considering i is the hear y,
Of 3 man Who is going to die. Then b
placed the muzzle Of his pistol to tn
Young mans forehead and blowed h
brains out.

A Skilled Hand at a Sermon.

Two we'll known ministers were talk
ing together about their sermons and
the general effect of their preaching.
One of them accused the other of preach
ing too long, and of being too fond Of
using big words. The brother thus ac-
cused defended himself as best he could,
and said that he spoke within the COM
prehension of his auditors. His accuser
bade him read the first page OF sermon
taken at random from the large black
tin box in which he kept them. On
hearing the page read, he said: swell,
suppose we translate that into English. :"
The owner of the sermon was indignant,
believing as he did, that his ''good Eng
lish," was as good as could be made.
But the other took the manuscript and
marked out all the long words and put
shorter ones in their places. Then he
reconstructed two or three involved SEN
tences and made them so that almost any
body could read them. The result Of
this trimming and pruning carried
throughout the sermon was that the
manuscript which was gauged to occupy
forty minutes in its delivery was cut
down so that it could be delivered in
thirty minutes. There are many able
ministers who could proftably take a
hint from this. Some of them wonder
why their congregations are 40 sleepy
while the preaching is going on, and
happy when it is done.

pounds per inhabitant. If Englishmen
did not consume more meat than the
average for the French and Germans,
the supply would come from within the
limits of the United Kingdom. A table
of the meat production and consumption
shows that while in the United Kingdom
there is an average per inhabitant of
sixty-nine pounds produced and one hun
dred and nine pounds consumed, Russia
produces two pounds per inhabitant of
more than it consumes; Austria, four
pounds; Italy, Spain and Portugal, two
pounds; Holland, fourteen pounds, and
Denmark, forty-eight pounds. The
statement of slaughter is based on the
assumption that sixty-seven per cent. of
pigs, thirty-eight per cent. of sheep and
goats, and twenty-one per cent. of
horned cattle are included in the total.
Thus, while the United Kingdom is in
terested chiefly in the matter of meat
supply, the rest Of Europe needs to
think about it, for in comparatively a
few years the surplus of certain states
may be changed to a deficit.

The grave of William Wordsworth, IN
the churchyard of Grasmere, "between
q yew tree of his own planting and an
aged thorn" is in a deplorable state OF
neglect. A writer for the English paper
called the Builder recently paid it o!
visit, and the following is his report OF
what he discovered: "We saw path
among the grave mounds, about one foot
in width, and followed it, and it led to
dirty dark corner, where several blue.

dull, dank, and depressing. The poets

THE ENGLISH NAVY.

Great Britain has not only strong
navy but q great and costly one. A
parliamentary return, "or, as we should
say, treasury report, shows the
amount of tonnage built annually by the
government in her maiesty's dock-yards
and by contract between 1866 and the
present time. Including all kinds of
shipping-ironclads, and ordinary iron,
wooden and composite vessels-the total
is 322, 900 tons, and the cost has been
over $75, 100000. As compared with
the money which the United States has
spent on its navy to no purpose, this is
small amount. In 1867 there were
built 1850 tons, in 1868 $1,000. In
1877 the construction of q, 900 tons cost
$7,OOO,0O0. During the last fiscal year,
which ended March 81, there was spent
50, 100000 in building 10,700 tons of
armored ships, and 50, 500, 900 in build
ing 4, 700 tons of unarmored ships. No
armored vessels were built by contract,
hut of unarmored craft 3,100 tons were
SO built, at cost of about 81, ,0O0, 900.
In return for all this expenditure the
empire has navy that can doat and can
fight; the United States, though spend
ing more money on it's naval establish
ment, has nothing whatever toshow for it.
