Another Fish Landed.

Interest for the moment is revived in
the star route eases, which now threaten
to remain a perpetual adjunct of the
department of justice, by the addition
of Senator Kellogg to the list of defend
ants. The senator is landed in the
legal net by means of an affidavit of
one Price, who claims to have paid him
the sum of twenty thousand dollars for
having mail route under his contract
expedited. Mr.. Kellogg, it is almost
unnecessary to state enters an emphatic
denial to any and all allegations and
claims malicious Vaccination rs the
moving power in the indictment, which
would not have been brought had at
torney general Brewster not been away.
The last part of the Senators assertion
calls for few words from Mr. Brewster.
If the story of Price is true, or the de-
partment of justice has reason to be-
lieve it so. and it is necessary to get the
head of the department out of the way
before an indictment can be brought
against the distinguished criminal,
there would seem to be an opening fol
n quantity of active explanation. The
defendants in this celebrated case can
succeed in throwing all the impede
ments necessary, in the way, without
any assistance from the head of the de-
partment which has the prosecution in
charge. Mr. Brewster has the floor.

One Question He Could Answer.

''H. j. r. the Washington CORE
spondent of the Philadelphia Press, re-
calls for the benefit of the new civil SER
vice commission an army incident,
which he relates rs follows:
A Serg't of infantry, whom | shall call
Dick. Cover, commanded his company
in great many battles in the west in
the early days of the war His COM
pany officers had all been killed. but
right royalty did he handle his men.
His discipline was perfect; his bravery
not only made him a hero among his
men, but excited the attention of all the
officers At the first lull in the cam
paign, the officers of his regiment, of
his brigade, and of his division united
in recommending him for a lieutenancy
in the regular army. The commanding
officer Joined in the recommendation
Mr.. Lincoln ordered the appointment.
Forthwith, Sergt. Dick was ordered be-
fore an examining board here in Wash
ington, for the regular army officers
were tenacious of what they thought
their superiority. Dick presented him.
self in a soiled and faded sergeant S
uniform. his face and hands bronzed
and cracked by the winds and suns of 4
hot campaign. The curled darlings of
Washington society, the perfumed grad

Quoted the examination to see if Dick
was fit to be an officer in the regular
army. They asked him questions as to
engineering, mathematics, philosophy,
and ordinance, of harbor warfare, of
! field campaigns, and all such stuff Not
single question could Dick. answer
What is an chelon?n was asked.

finally said a young snip in eyeglasses,
what would you do in command of a
company if the cavalry should charge

to Dicks comprehension, and he an
swered with resolute face and flashing
eve: I'D give them hell, that's what
! I'd do, and I'd make a hollow square in

more technical questions We're asked.
but poor Dick was not able TO answer
! them. and the examination closed. The
report WAS duly sent 10 the secretary OF
| war. who submitted it to Mr. Lincoln,
saving that evidently Dick would not do
for an officer. Mr. Lincoln went through
the report. and found that Dick had not
answered single question, but he came

he was attacked by cavalry, and then he
did what sensible Abe Lincoln did in al
such matters, he threw the report on the

known in the army as man without

Ruildiur Wire Fence.

My barb wire fence" writes a cor
respondent of the Indiana Farmer, 'thas
been severely tested by all kinds of
stock, from the road rs well as from my
field, and nothing has ever been able to
get through it or even loosen Il wire.
My plan for building is as follows:
set my posts Q use stone posts) sixteen
and one-half feet apart. At the end OF
each fifty rods | put in braces in such a
manner that they could not give a
particle under any amount Of pressure.
brace another post in like manner.
used each of those well-braeed posts to
hasten the stretching machine to.
stretch the wire as tight as the machine
will draw it, aud fasten it with a staple
al each post. | put on six wires and
one 4xll inch plank, between the two
top wires to four feet high. This plank
takes the place of another wire and is a
successful warning to horses and cattle.
Each OF these plsnks will make four up
right pieces. which ! fasten half way
between the posts with a staple to each
wire, and nail to the plank. A.fence
built in this manner is neat durable
and safe. My fence is the admiration
Of every one that sees it. There are nc
weights to draw it over, and the wind
has no effect upon it. as it has upon a
plank fence

WOman's Rights.

In the case of Mary Frank against
the Mutual Life Insurance Company
and George w. Demond, tried before
Judge Beach of the Common Pleas,
last December, the Judge had just rem
dered n decision important to married
women holding policies on the lives of
their husbands. In 1869 the company
issued to Mrs. Frank a policy on the
life of her husband for $4,000. payable
in January, 1884, or on his death be-
fore that time. Her husband paid the
premiums up to July, 1876. In August
1876, Mrs. Frank assigned the policy to
Demond rs security for the payment of
money by her husband. Demond paid
the premiums subsequently falling due,
and in January, 1877 surrendered the
policy to the company, and received
from it 2,970 40, the surrender value
of the policy. The Judge holds that
the policy was not assignable by Mrs.
Frank, and her assignment of it to De-
mond was therefore void under the de-
cisions of the Court of Appeals in Eadie
against Simmonds GIG n. Y, 81 and
subsequent cases, and that both the
defendants are liable to her for a con-
version of the policy, and gives judg-
ment against them for the surrender
value and interests with costs Near
