''This calamity excited universal sym pathy. Government offered to settle a pension on the man. He rejected it with disdain. Shall take the price of my sons blood?' said he. They felt for him, respected his sorrow, and pressed him no further. A simple and elegant mon- ument erected over the bodies of the two victims, recorded in few words their miserable end. The old man returned to Scotland where he died not long after his arrival, and his daughter soon after followed him to his tomb"

A Man With a Magnet.
PICKING UP PARTICLES OF IRON DUsl
 UNDER THE ELEVATED RAILROAD.

A young man with large magnet was at work along the cross ties of the Sixth avenue elevated railway. Once in 8 while he carefully brushed of the mag net and secured the particles attached. Then he went down beneath the railway and dragged the magnet in the gutter. He then went over to Broadway and dragged the magnet along for whole block. After these trials he hung the magnet upon an iron pillar of the rail- way in the wind, examining it ire quently.
 The young man was MT. Joseph Met zier, of the Scientific American statf He explained that he was determining the amount of iron dust from the eleva- ted railways. This dust, he said, is the cause of many severe cases of eye troubles. The swift passing trains grind of showers of iron particles, which often fall or are blown into the eyes of pedes- trians. The microscope shows that the particles are of innumerable shapes. and they usually have jagged fringes, and many of them have barbs like a fish hook. When lodged in the eye they cannot be attracted therefrom with a magnet, but gouge-shaped instrument the size of sewing needle has been de- vised for the purpose.
 The operator showed that in space of six feet under the elevated road more iron dust was attracted than on whole block of Broadway. When the magnet was hung on the pillar it attracted much iron dust, showing that it f1oated con. stantly in the air. Along Sixth avenue the awnings are coated with iron dust. Shopkeepers complain that the iron will not wash out, but eats up the awnings. --Nelp York ISul1.

oTREa LEGISLATION.

When the Legislature Of this Terri
tory met in October last the Posr-is
rvr,1oxycKR veutared few sueaes-
tions respecting legislators and legisis-
ton. After referring to the fact that
multiplication of laws is one OF the
greatest evils OF government. and con-
troverting the theory that tue service OF
a legislator depends upon the amount
rather than quality Of the Legislation no
secures, ~ said: There arc bas 10"
new laws needed some OF the Ola ONE
need amending Others, pernaf's' "u'u''

c.rsfullv considered ard di2esied acis
will cover all the points upon wnicA 'se-
islation at this time il necessary or oe-
sirable lot us have the few which ms
be passed models of breyity as veil az
completeness" Tae advice was eooo'
but it was not followed. On the con-
trary, there were passed by that very
industrious body 81 general laws ana
amendments TO general laws, 81 local ana
private laws, ~ memorials and rssoiu-
tions. This vast amount OF literary ana
Legislative effort occupies 4A3 pages ex-
clusiye of the index thereto. OF neces-
sity mistakes we're made, inperfections
are visible, and there 10 crudity and re-
dundancy of construction. One im-
portant Law has already been con-
demued because the title did not ex-
press the subject matters Of legislation,
and for other vital reasons.
1t was attempted, among other things.
to amend the exemption Law. the evident
intent being to enlarge that clause,
which exempts certain property OF
teamsters or drsymen from attachments
or execution. In essaying the accom-
plishnent Of that doubtless laudabie
work the whole exemption act as in
force prior to the passage Of this re-
msrkable amendment has been re-
pealed. Section 347, page 81 Of the
Code Of Washington, 1881. contains IA
clauses, each of which specifies certain
GLASSES of property which shall be ex-
empt from attachment or execution ~
therein provided. The Legislature Of
1883 substituted for this section the fol-
lowing:
AN ACT TO AMEND SECTION 3A7 or THE
cocv an ~ aurrnroN
Section 1. Be il enacted, etc.,
That section BAT of the Code
of Washington, 1881, be amended
to read az follows: 10 teamster or
drayman engaged in that business for
the support Of himself or his family. has
team, consisting Of one span Of horses,
mules or oxen, or horse and mule.
With harness, ono wagon, truck, cart or
dray.

in force from and after its approval.
This remarkable enactment was APP
proved November q, 1883, and il now
the law. 1t supsrsedes and thereby re-
peals section BAT Of the Code of 1881.
It il patent, moreover, that 1t is mean
ineless and absurd "a il stands. II fails
even to aid the class for whom II was
enacted. This peculiar statute

Committees If both Houses Of the Leg
islature. Ii is in order for Some men,

explain.

A kCANGDALlDllR STEAL.

Many years ago u society was organ
lied in San Francisco aud named the
Dashsway Hall Association. II was
formed to forward the interests Of tenn
perauce and p aid the general cause Of
morality. with these noble aims in
view, many good people Of that city
contributed freely 10 its support. aud
with the money thus obtained property
was bought. The society was incorpo-
rated and took deeds Of the property.
Soon this property began TO increase in
value, as business tended in its direc-
ton. The hall was remodslsd and ad-
ditional rental secured thereby. Only
. library WAS maintained as sugges-
ton Of the primal objects Of the asso-
citation, and even that Was turned into
q card room. The membership Of the
society was reduced by devious methods
until but comparatively few rsn' lined.
Then this property 20 obtained AZ sold
and the members ooolly pocketed
$3.50 each. They have still $4,000
Of the proceeds Of this sale ON hand,
and are divided In opinion whether 10
invest 1t or make further pro rata dis
tribution Of the swag." A more dis
graceful missppropristion of property
contributed BY the public for temper
ance and morality could scarcely be
conceived. It u also doubtless illegal,
members Of tho society not being stock
holders In suoh sense As would warrant
personal appropriation Of corporate
property, but rather acting ~ agents
for the execution Of public trust. A
dispatch from San Francisco in another
column states that the Attorney. Gene
raj has decided 10 bring ssis against the
members Of the society who participated
In this aoandAlous steal.
