For years past, In the oyster planting waters of

abandon them. case which was tried in Mon

existing state OF affairs Charles Allen OF Middle
town, had tract OF twenty acres OF the North
Shrewsbury river bottom staked out parts of
which were implanted. Some time ago Joseph
Allen, an OySterman and clammer OF oceanic. went
on this Staked out ground and worked over parts of
1t. Charles Allen sued Joseph Allen for trespass
Charles Ii: Wins, young lawyer OF Red Bank. had
charge OF the case for the defense, and his arXu-
ment was new to the courts although oyster cases
have been numerous in that state. He asserted
that as the ground was not planted with oysters at
the time 1t could not be held that Joseph Allen had
committed trespasS He also said that all the
river beds In the state belonged to the state and
that II the mere stalking out OF the river bed gave
man proprietary right, one man could stake out
the entire river and claim it.
The jury returned verdict OF not guilty. This
verdict threatens to revoluttonze the oyster indus

by any individual. 1t Will give many oystermen an

Rolling Stones.

Many of our readers have doubtless
heard of the famous travelling stones
!9f Australia Similar curiosities have
recently been found in Nevada, which
are described as almost perfectly round
the majority of them as large as wal
nut, and of an irony nature. When
distributed about upon the floor, table
or other level surface, within two or
three feet of each other, they immedi'
ately began travelling toward CON-
mon center and there huddled up in a
bunch like a lot of eggs in nest. A
single stone, removed to the distance
of three-and-a-half feet, upon being
released, at once started off with won
derful and somewhat comic9l celebrity
to Join its fellows; taken away four or
five feet it remained motionless They
are found in region that is compara-
lively level. and is nothing but bare
rock. Scattered over this barren re
gion are little basins, from few feet
to a rod or two in diameter, and it is in
the bottom of these that the rolling
stones are found. They are from the
size of pea to five or six inches in di.
ameter. The cause of these stones
rolling together is doubtless to be found
in the material of which they are com.
posed, which appears TO be loadstene "

His Rival.
"All is over then, Ienry?'

"All is over then, Henry?'
There was a world of anguish in the
tremulous tones of the beautiful young
girl as she uttered these worus.
"All is over, Mehitabel," the youth
replied in determined tones, as hO
brushed the dust from the elbow which
he had been leaning on the mantel-
piece. "All is over," he repeated, but
as he gave utterance to this cruel de-
tision Il spasm passed across his face
and his eye-lids quivered with the emo
tion, which, man-like, he strove to con-
cell. She drew deep, tremulous
sigh, and the rosy lips quivered, and
two pearly tears trembled on the long,
silken lashes.

he replied, and there was no mistaking
the firm, determined expression in his
tones, and in the compressed lips and
cloud-rufled brow; "a must have your
whole heart or nothing"
"But he is so cunning, and he gives
so little trouble"

plotted him out forever. 1t is from
scenes like this that our country's glory
springs.

London Drinking Palaces.

Strolling through the streets of Lon
don one cannot but be struck with the
number and prominent character of
the public houses. The last few years
have witnessed great many changes
in the general appearance and con-
struction of London public houses;
and these changes have not invariably
been in the direction which ardent
teetotalers would desire. Instead of
diminishing in number and growing
more modest in appearance, these
places for the retailing of spirituous
liquors have put on new and attractive
faces. All the changes are in the way
of glare and glitter. You have to
travel long way now--in London, at
any rate--to find an old-fashioned, low.
rooted, struggling hostelry. This class
of house is being steadily improved"
off the face of the earth, and the few
tap.room lingerers of the old sort who
still survive don't take kindly to the
meretricious attractions of the new
style public house. The old re-places
and bar.rooms of yore are things of the
past; while great, glariug fac@les and

The Safest Part of q Car.

Four men half hidden in the smoke
cloud of smoking box of a sleeping
car on the Hudson River railroad,
spent an hour discussing which part of
a car was the safest to ride in. They
finally agreed to leave it to the conduc-
tor.
Middle of middle car, right hand
side" said that parsonage when asked
The rapidity with which he spoke
and the mechanical manner in which
he made the reply, led one of them to
halt him as he was passing on and ask
him to explain himself.
"Well," said he, Everybody asks me
that question, and am so used to an
swering it that I've got it down to the
fewest words possible. l shouldn't
wonder if you were to ask me that
when I'm asleep if would answer it
without waking up, The middle car
of the train is the safest, because it is
the furthest removed from a collision
either in front or behind. Even if
an engine plunged into an open draw
bridge, it might not take more than "a
car or two with it. Couplings would
be likely to break, you know, Always
sit in the middle of car, because
when cars Telescope they are not apt
to telescope many feet. As you can't
tell which end will telescope, and as
both may, take 10 the middle. What
ever Car you 60 in sit on the right
hand side of the car, which is to say,
the side farthest from the other track,
because it sometimes happens that
freight projects too far beyond a flat
car and rips the windows out of pass
ing trains"
"Do railroad men observe all these
prccau ions when they ride?"
"They tGke no precautions at all.
Those that / have mentioned are sensi.

you like and there are plenty of peo-
pie unlucky enough to be killed wher-

"Keep your moralizing," says Guy
impatiently.
A few days later the two part COM

1t is four years before Guy again
leaves his native soil. He is changed
since we last saw him, both outwardly
and inwardly.
Through strenuous exertions he has
succeeded in gaining a considerable
portion of that golden commodity for
which he once sacrificed what he can
never now regain; but his success has
not brought him content, and now he
seeks in change of scene and surround
ings the peace Of mind he cannot find
at home.
Once more he is in England; in Lon

gallery, whittier ne has gone to while

lowing:

one is raving about by the American
artist?' some one near him asks
another.
mo; where is it,"
"There, where the crowd is. It's a
portrait of his young wife. l can as
sure you she is queen of beauty and
grace. Come and see il"
His curiosity aroused, Guy follows
before the painted semblance of the
one being whose loveliness has been 50
indelibly impressed upon his mind and
heart that no endeavor has ever sulliced
to drive away its haunting memory.
1t is Daisy herself, purely fair and
beautiful, and attired in the e-draped
satin robes of a bride. All, yes, some
one said this was picture of the ar
lists young wife. Who is the fortu-
nate man who has won what he, to hiA
eternal regret, has lost.
STOPPING, Guy Harrington reads in
tiny characters, upon one corner of the
canvas the name, Harold North
