An appeal was taken to this court, and
Justice Miller rendered the courts decision
as follows: 1t is a violation of law
to introduce dutiable articles
at all in this manner, 10y maiD and ~
cles so introduced are liable to seizu&STE
such violation. We think that in makinesttk
seizure the defendants only did their duty.
and whatever the hardship to plaintiff,
they are not liable to this action on the
facts found in the verdict of the jury.

SURRENDER OF DIES AND STAMPS.
The commissioner of internal revenue
has under consideration proposition for
the surrender by government of the plates
used for printing private dies and stamps.
after the 1st of May, when the stamp fax

Raum said such surrender would be
mere matter of grace, as under contract

however, to accommodate the manufac.
turers as far rs possible.

Measuring tho Speed Of a Rail
road Train.

There are certain common
place methods OF calculation by
which every ore may estimate
the rapidity of trains motion.
Counting the tslegrph poles is .
custom AZ old as the poles thcm
selves. With the aid ofa watch
and a knowledge Of the distsncs
between tho poles, it may be
enthusiastically accomplished
Those who have not watch
have but to turn their attention
to the fence posts. Alta twenty
mile-per-hour gait tho posts
may be counted separately by a
quick eye and q prompt brain.
When the speed 10 increased to
twenty-five miles they 60 in
twos, and at thirty miles per
hour they sweep by in groups
Of three. An increase of ten
miles moro per hour causes
them to appear to travel in
clumps of four. At atty miles
per hour they fash by in con
fused splotohes of 6ve and six,
and at 3 mile . minute they be-
como merged into an uninter
rupted dull gray streak, no mat
ter what their individual color,
too swiftly to be counted In
groups however large. 1t is
not difficult to train the eye to
oatch and distinguish these
groups, and after = little prac-
tics it becomes . mere matter
of habit, susceptible Of being
carried to high degree of &C
curacy. A mistaken notion as
to the velocity ofrailroad travel
very generally prevails. The
estimate 10 placed much too
high.

had never seen q steamboat,
and yet they manifested no sur

Married Womsn's Riehts.

English legislation in dsroga-

makes up for its laggardnsss BY
it's more thorough work. Un-
Ill the Hth Of August last the
old legal fiction prevailed to it,

the husband and wife were one
person, and that person tho hus-
band. Her personal property,

time Of marriage and what she
earned afterward, became HE

came subject to his control.
She could make no contracts,
nor could she make q will. She
could not sac or be sued alone
in civil action, and in but few
cases could she be joined in .
suit with her husband. She
could not testify for or against
hor husband in court; she had
no power over his person, and
her only claim upon his proper
ty was for bare support, oven
though she brought him q for
tune. Under the law of mar
riags settlement a portion OF the

out of the husbands reach.
