The disputed point of law involved in the case of Rend ys. the Hooking Valley railroad is very interesting and important one, and it is to be regretted that a compromise after partial hearing prevented it's decision. The point at issue was, can 3, railroad company be compelled to ship beyond it's own lines, loaning it's cars to the shipper or to the con meeting line for that purpose?
 When the court ordered the company to furnish Rend with cars it did so, but de- clined to carry them further than the termin- us of it's road at Toledo, and refused to de- liver the cars to other companies at that point for further shipment It also demand ed local rates, and prepayment thereof. The railroads position, therefore, is this: We are anenable to the laws of the State within which our lines are, and must treat all ship pers alike, in so far as concerns shippers without special contract. We cannot be compelled to become responsible for delivery of coal at Chicago without special contract No law of Ohio can give us privileges or re- responsibilities upon the lines of other com panies lying. in other States. By special contract we may manage for through ship nlents at guaranteed rate, and for this pur- pose may give the use of our cars. But hav- ing no such contract with the plaintiff, we treat his shipments as local freight, which must pay local tariff The most we can do toward getting his coal to the Chicago mar ket is to carry it to the terminus of our road, there delivering it to be loaded upon the cars of other companies, with which plain tiff may make such terms as he can. There is no authority in statuteor common law that can compel us to do more than this.
 Rend's position was that in thus refusing to make through shipments for him the con- pany yirtually refused all shipment, as it would not be possible for him to pay local rates and bear the expense of reloading from defendants cars to the cars of other roads, Such refusal is discrimination, contrary to general custom and to the practice of the de- fendant, which admits giving to others the same service which it would not give to him (Rend
 With this question undecided, as writer in the Chicago Herald points out, a danger ous power remains in the hands of every railroad corporation. It can favor one ship per with special drought freight service and deny it to another, such discrimination mean ing great profits to the one and ruin to the other. Upon any pretext or for any reason a company may refuse, virtually, to carry the goods of any through shipper, while ap- parently complying with all statutory law. Personal fll-will, self-interest of railroad managers directors, or business competi- tion may at any time place manufacturer or business man at the mercy of the only com mon carrier available for his shipments

The Lost Mine.

Jack Bannon was a keen-eyed, middle-aged man with hair prematurely gray and slight stoop in his broad shoulders The proffer of a cigar, as we walked the deck of the steam which plies between San Francisco and Santa Barbara, led to friendly conversa- ton, and as we gradually became communi- catiye he told me the following singular sto- ", which I shall try to reproduce, as far as possible, in Bannon's own words:
 Yes, sir, I've led pretty adventurous sort of life for man that isn't quite fifty years old I've been an acrobat. in French circus which made a tour round the world. I'm one of about twenty white people who have ever set tEeir foot on Plover island, the far finest land known south of the equator. I've made and lost two fortunes in mining; but all have been through with in that line is nothing compared to a singular thing that happened to me while was prospecting In western Arizona three years ago
 Seeing that seemed interested, Bannon, brushing the ashes from his cigar, looked thoughtfully out over the water for few moments and then began:

FROM SPRINGFIELD, MASS. CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED.

DR. J. H. sCHENCK.
 Deor Str About sixteen years ago, while living in Canada, my health became very poor. My disease came on gradually, begin- ming with loss of appetite and afterwards great weakness, which. brought on night sweats and a dry, hacking cough. My chest and back were very weak, and so sore that I could not bear my weight against the back of chair. At different times I raised consider able blood, which my physician said came from the lungs; employed several doctors, but they all told me the same thing-that my lungs were badly affected; and the last one that ! had also said that I could live but short time, and that I had better go to my mothers home in Winstead, Ct as soon as I could, that with careful nursing might live for some time. When got to my mothers was very low indeed, so that my mother sent for her doctor. He pronounced me beyond all help. He, however, left me some medicine which he said would relieve my worst symp- toms. After this my mother employed an other doctor, who said that one of my lungs was nearly gone. ate scarcely anything for several months, and never expected to get we'll. One day a friend, who lives in Collins vile, Ct., gave my father one of your pam phlets on Consumption. He brought it home and told me to look it over and see if any of the cases described in it were like mine. I read the book through, and found so many cases described there that seemed as bad as mine, that were cured, that began to hope that too might recover by using the medi- cines My father finding that they were not kept in Winstead, sent to New York and got a supply. In one week after began their use my night-sweats ceased, and my appetite began to improve. In two weeks after this 1 was much better in every way. commenced to use the medicines in March; in July felt quite strong; in two months more was we'll, and have had good health ever since. be- ieve that would not be alive to-day but for the use of your medicines, as all the doctors had said my disease was Consumption, and that was incurable.

 The Alabama State hospital for the insane adds it's testimony to the superior efficacy of q system of non-restraint in caring for pa tients. The restraint system was abolished two years ago, and Dr. Boyce, who has been superintendent of the asylum for twenty-five years, now records his unqualified conviction of the great value and practicability of the non-restraint system, and he further says that Sits effect upon the nurses, in making them kind, patient and considerate, and up- on the patients in making them trustful and courteous, is simply marvellous" It is cer- tain1y reasonable to anticipate such 8 result
 The writer of paper recently read before the French Academy of Medicine expresses the opinion that one in every five persons is buried alive, while official statistics show that the mortality among sailors from ship wreck averages one in every 1, 900. The question has of late been much discussed by the medical body just mentioned, and it seems to be settled that none of the accepted indications of death, with the single excep- ton of the un1nistakable decomposition of the body, are to be regarded as perfectly conclusive. It is certain that the possibility of such frightful death weighs on the mind of many of the French, as, according to a recent declaration of the President of the Chamber of Notaries, express instruc- tiens are given in one will out of every ten to have the testator's heart pierced by qualified surgeon before the coffin is screwed down.

An apartment in the newsboys' lodging house on East Thirty-frst street, New York, has been fitted up for making scrubbing brushes, and the poor and crippled boys are taught the trade ot making these brushes. A long bench is fitted up with the necessary appliances, and along this bench the crip- pied boys are at work. There are boys with shriveled legs, one leg too short and both legs para1yzed-the latter going on er11tches. These boys have no parents, or if they have, their parents are too poor or too much de moralized to care for them. It takes a year or more to teach the boys the trade SO that they can earn comfortable wages in 8 regu- lar brush factory. They are started on scrubbing brushes, these being coarse and easily made. They are soon able to earn about fifty cents day, and as they improve their wages are increased or they are able to earn more by piece work. In the regular shops the hands earn from 1.50 to 8 day. The crippled boys live at the lodging house, where it does not cost them much for board, and they get along comfortably. If the brushes are sold at profit enough to pay for superintendence and other necessary ex- penses the managers feel that they have achieved success. So far the plan has worked we'll
