in their character, and disgraceful to
him as man, subversive of law and
the good order and well being of socie-
ty, which prove him to be catiff died
in villainy, the traducer and assassin
of character, the willing violator of the
laws of God and man, utterly uniting
him for decent and respectable society,
disqualifying him from receiving the
confidence of men of honor and integri-
ty, and whose admission as member
of this House would bring lasting in
fanny and disgrace upon the House Of
Representatives and the entire Com

A Remarkable Case.

DIR. HARTMAN-Dear Sir: / am in
duced by a sense of duty to the suffer-
ing to make brief statement of your
remarkable cure of myself. | was a
most miserable sufferer from various
annoying and distressing diseases of
delicate persons. which caused me to
be confined to my bed for long time,
being too weak to even bear my
weight upon my feet. ! was treated
by the most reputable physicians in
our city, each and all saying they
could do nothing for me. had given
up all hopes of ever being well. In
this condition | began to take your
Manalin and Peruna, and, / am most
happy to say, in three months | was
perfectly well-entirely cured without
anv appliances or support of any kind.
Yours truly, Mrs HENRY ELLIS,

sis alleged in this case that the
plaintiff was driving his sleigh very
fast, at a break-neck speed, as one of
the witnesses stated, and several of
them testified that he was driving at
the rate of what is-called five minute
gait which would be mile in five
minutes or twelve miles in an hour.
Other witnesses, however, testify that
his speed was simply an ordinary trot-
ting speed. This is question of fact
for the jury. Even ten or twelve miles
an hour in sleigh might not be negli-
gence in itself. 1t wouldI. dI.depend.. on
the surrounding circumstances. There
is no doubt that the injury to the plain
tiff was greater than if he chad been
travelling at a much slower rate of
speed If the horse had been walking
and the sleigh had struck the pile of
dirt just as it did, it is not at all likely
the plaintiff would have been injured as
seriously as he was; and in that sense
the speed has something to do with
the extent Of the injury. But that in
In itself does not prove that the plain
tiff was guilty of contributory negli-
gence.
The question is, whether. under all
circumstances of the case, the plaintiff
was driving at speed beyond what
would have been the speed of man of
ordinary care and caution, and whether
the injury resulted from that degree of
negligence. A two-horse wagon would
be considered as driving at a reckless
speed perhaps that would 60 as fast as
an ordinary buggy on street, and per-
haps a sleigh might 60 more rapidly
than buggy, and yet the driver not
be guilty of contributory negligence
1t depends largely on the character of
the street and the surrounding circum-
stances.

down to the credit of the late Congress
is its passage of the law reduc-
ing the postage on single letters
to two cents 1t is singular that
when a great surplus of revenue was
reported some Congressman hesitated
to risk lowering the postage rate, lest
there should be slight deficit in the

in the receipts will unquestionably
overcome any such deficit within two

it should not. q part of the revenues
