Softly the moon shed its silvery light upon the evening air.
 The difference between a goose and the moon is, that the goose sheds feath- CTS. This is less romantic, probably, but good goose feathers are worth seventy cents pound more or less.

Connecticut as we'll as New York is

Connecticut as we'll as New York is
beginning to suffer from the wholesale
destruction of forests, and the decrease
of the volume of it's streams is already
marked enough to arouse alarm. The
matter has been brought before the
legislature, and it is proposed to have
the state Board Of Agriculture make a
thorough investigation and report next
year, not only as to the best action for
the state to take, but also as to the pos
sibility of securing concurrent action by
Massachusetts, New Hampshire and
Vermont for the protection of forests
near the sources Of the Connecticut and
other rivers. The destruction of the
forests about the headwaters of the
Connecticut has already diminished the
volume Of that stream, and it's future
navigation below Hartfordis threatened,
as is the navi cation of the Hudson be-
low Troy.

tingly, IT I do not feelinclined even to
sit up in bed ?.
"You will feel Inclined" was the re.
ply, in q decided tone. tI know the
power of my medicine. The trouble
will be to keep you from going farther"
And the doctor went home, having
already effected half of the cure.
In two days he called again. He
found his patient sitting up in bed, her
eyes bent attentively upon her watch,
which she held in her hand, waiting for
half minute to expire before she could
take her medicine.
"This is just as it should be-" said
the doctor in a cheerful voice. II see
by your improvement that you have
kept your promise"
Miss Dickford swallowed her powder
and looked up at her visitor.
''Now you feel restless and tired of
the bed, and would like to make another
move," said the doctor in confident
tone.
"Yes-may II"
''Not to day." was the decided reply.
IT will call again tomorrow, and if you
continue to improve 50 rapidly-which
you certainly will if you follow my
orders strictly -you may occupy an arm
chair"
By the next day Miss Dickford was
ready to get up.
"Your medicine is really wonderful,
DOCTOR" said she. ''Just think how
many years I have lain there, unable to
raise my head, and now you are curing
me so quickly"
II knew there would be no difficulty
il. I could only have my orders obeyed, :"
was the reply.
The next step in her recovery was
walking. This had to be undertaken
very cautiously, for she had been
out of practic so long that she had en-
tirely forgotten how, and the lessons of
her babyhood had to be taught her
over again. It was all accomplished,
however, in good time, and at the end
of three weeks she had thrown aside
crutches and all other assistance, and
was walking with as steady a step as
any one.
Miss Dickford could not say enough
in praise of the new doctor. His won
derful cure was looked upon by the whole
community very much in the light of a
miracle. Patients poured in upon him
continually.
The little unpretending house of four
rooms became formidable opposition
to the imposing mansion on the other
side of the street. DR.. Jaeger contin-
ued to shake hands with the same bland
smile; and he congratulated the young
man upon his success, while he unwil-
lingly admitted to himself that this very
"clever boy" was rival to be feared.
Finally, he called upon his young
brother in the profession, and proposed
apartnership upon equal terms, to which
our friend acceded.
1t was not many years befor the house
of four rooms, which Dr. Minter had in
the meantime purchased, became wing

Grain freights from Chicago to the

Grain freights from Chicago to the
seaboard are at the lowest point ever
known. The fifteen-cent rate per
hundred pounds is for the time being
the regular one, the INTERCHANGEABLE
cent rate is reported, and is not re-
ceived with incredulity. These rates
barely pay the cost of hauling, and leave
nothing of interest charges or the low
est conceivable returns for capital setu-
al invested. This is said to be in &C.
cordance with the predictions of twelve
years ago. As suggested with much
force, that the stock watering and ap-
parent monopoly cottld be remedied by
the building of certain lines of state
railways, which, though hkely to be q
burden to the state, would justify their
cost by the fact that they would fix the
maximum rates beyond which the cor
porate companies would not be able to

jected into the so-called capital of the
New-York Central and Hudson River
Railroad was the indirect, if not the d.
rect, source from which sprang the
West Shore Railroad, and that road,
with all its embarrassment, is to-day
the most important fact with which the
Vanderbilt direction has to deal.

The scientific officers of the United
States Signal Service at Washington
have been making close observations Of
late in order to satisfy themselves as to
the theory that disturbances in the sun
cause unusual atmospheric disturbances
on the earth. Their conclusion is that
so-called sun-spots have very little if
any connection with our great wind
storms. They give it as their opinion
that these terrific storms are caused by
a collision of warm and cold currents Of
air, especially in the springtime, fol-
lowing the advance of the warm weather

The Cincinnati riot continues to be
a fruitful topic of discussion, and near
ly all writer's agree that the outbreak
must be attributed, as are nearly all
similar affairs-to the lax administra-
ton Of the criminal law. It is stated
with good deal of truth, that the
bench has to a great extent all over the
country got into state of mind where
the letter of the law. is of more import
ance to them than it's spirits Our Judges
think more of preserving the technical
tiles of law than preserving the rights
of the people. The forms of law to the
slightest technical detail have from
much contemplation of them become
sacred; it's purposes have got to be a
more remote consideration. In the jeal
Gus regard for the liberty of the individ-
ual the law has devised and
thrown about it number of checks
which, while they have in the past prov
en- useful limitations upon arbitrary
power haVe' under the changed condi-
tons OF modern times, contributed to
form only.a complex system of hind
RANGES to the execution of justice. As
the law stands at present the criminal
has very important advantages over the
state upon a trial for any serious crime
like that of murder. But the fault is
not altogether with the Judges. Per-
jury in this country has become more
common than any other crime. and if
is seldom punished at all, from the very
fact tia that it is so common. It is one Of
The things men can do without losing
social position, and perhaps even self
respect. Perjury must be regarded as /
heinous crime and punished as such.

Since the Cincinnati riot, one of the

Since the Cincinnati riot, one of the
branches of the Ohio Legislature has
passed law repeating the exemption Of
those belonging to military companies
from jury duties in important criminal
cases; reduced the criminals right to
peremporty challenges of the jury from
twenty-three to six, and raised those of
the prosecution from two to four. The
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette urges
two more-the relief of the Supreme
Court from the revision and reversion Of
verdicts; and the reduction of the time
between a murderer's sentence and his
execution from 100 to thirty days.
The Legislature had already passed a
law prohibiting his intelligence from
disbaring q man from jury duty; so that,
altogether, it will be observed that the
news from Cincinnati has reached Co.
lumbus.
