The Georgia Supreme Court has Just
rendered a decision which is of wide in
terest. The railroad managers in that
state make their men sign what is called
a 'death warrant by which they
agree to take all the risks of their occu-
patton, and not try to hold their en-
ployers liable for any Injury they may
sustain, resulting from either their own
carelessness or any other cause. To
make the contract more binding, the
mans wife, when he has one, is re-
quired to sign an agreement that she
will not sue for damages in case of acct
dent to her husband. The widow of a
brakeman who was killed, nevertheless,
brought suit, and was awarded So. 600
by jury. The ease was carried to the
Supreme Court, which has sustained
this decision, taking the obviously Just
ground that, while an employee might
waive his right to sue for injuries not
arising from criminal negligence, would
be contrary to public policy and void.

The question whether woman is a
person" has been decided by the Su-
preme Court Of Massachusetts in tho
affirmative. 1t was raised with refer
ence to Mrs. Leonard. of that State. who
was member of the State Board of
Health, Lunacy and Charity, and who
failed to aglee with Governor Butler
respecting the management of the
Tewksbury Alms-house. The Governor
then doubted if she was qualified to
hold the office, as the law required that
persons" should be appointed mem
bers of the Board, and he was not GER
tain whether a woman was locally a
person. The question is now settled
by the highest tribunal of the State. and
Governor Butler is relieved from further
perplexity on the subject.

The peculiar sunsets seen on the clear
evenings of the past week and more,
seem to have attracted attention all
over the country, and the result of an
investigation by scientists is being
awaited with very pronounced express
slons of interest. 1t is not difficult to
imagine the glare, that continues long
after the sun has disappeared below
the horizon, coming from some
awful great fire. Not only in America
has the phenomenon been witnessed.
but England has observed it, the only
difference being that the brilliant glow
lasts longer there than on this side of
the water. 1t has been suggested that
the display was due to the reflection of
the suns rays from cloud of meteoric
dust. To sustain this position, it is
urged that meteors have been lately
seen in unusual quantities, and that the
earth has just passed through the No
rember belt of meteors.

Among other things to come before
Congress this winter will be an attempt
to have that august body authorize the
redemption of the trade dollars, under
the plea that they are in the hands of
suffering people who took them at par
on the faith that a dollar is dollar.
The New York Journal of Commerce.
however, says that there is nothing in
the story 1t claims that they are all
held by spectators, who bought them
up at 80 cents on the dollar, and are
now waiting for the profit that would
come if the government should buy
them up at par. A Wall street money
broker says that since the practical re-
tirement of trade dollars in the New
York market, he has shipped $50, 900 of
them to China. He also stated that
one rich brewer of that city had about
800, O00in trade dollars. and would not
part with them for less than par, ex-
pecting that congress would soon re-
deem them at their face value.
The Secretary of the Interior, in his
report says of the territory of Alaska:
The necessity for government of
Alaska is becoming very apparent.
The report of the discovery of gold on
the Yukon river and in other sections
has stimulated immigration, and al
ready quite large number of people
are prospecting and developing mines.
A mining district has been formed at or
near Harrisburg, and quite number
of citizens of the United States have at
tempted to secure mineral claims in that
vicinity BY observing the provisions of
the United States laws, concerning the
location of mineral lands. The laws
of the United States and the territory of
Washington should be, as far as appli-
cable. extended over it. and this for the
present would avoid the necessity Of .

The following from the Appleton

1t is strange how closely people
read the papers. We never say any
thing that anybody don't like but
whit we soon hear OF it and every
bsdv tells us of 1t. But once in a
while we happen to say good thing,
we never hear that--noboiy seems
to notice it. We may pay some
man a hundred compliments, and
give him hundred puffs, and he
takes 1t as a tribute to his greatness.
aud never says thing about it
never think it does HIM any good.
But If we happen to saw something
that this very man don't like, or
something that he inagines reflects
on h,m or his character, see how
quick he flies up and gets mad abou,
it All our evil is duly charged to
us. but we never. apparently. get
