A BAGGAGEoUEsTIoN.

A suit which has been before Ine
courts eighteen years, and coss tne
parties fortune in lawyers fees ana
court expenses. has just been aecioeo'
and now that the end has been reached,
sne only important matter that has been
determined is that diamonds are bag
gage, and railway is responsible for
their safe carriage. In 1862, Cyrus H.
Mccormick, of reaper fame, started
from Philadelphia for Chicago, having
his and his wife's trunks checked
through. After the checking and load
ing of the trunks. the baggage master
demanded payment for extra weight,
Mccormick refused to pay the charge
and demanded the return of his lug
gage; it was too late to do this, and he
got an order for the delivery
of the trunks at Pittsburg
but arriving there and demanding
them he learned that they had
gone on to Chicago, where they
were burned, the depot having
been struck by lightning. Among
the property destroyed were some of his
wife's diamonds. Five years Nc
Cormlck tried to get an amicable settle
ment with the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, and failing to do so, in 1867
he brought suit for the recovery OF his
property. The suit involved the re-
sponsibility of common carriers, the
effect of visitation of God" in the
shape of thunderbolt, a husbands
right to recover for his wife's property,
the relation of jewelry to personal lug
gage, the effect of the order restoring
the trunks to the plaintiffs control, and
various other points under the common
law and statute law of Illinois and New
York, which dozen or more celebrated
lawyers have been discussing in the
several courts of the latter State ever
since. The court of final resort has at
last decided the case in favor OF the ex-
ecutors of Mccormick, holding
that diamonds constitute a part
of a woman's travelling paraphernalia,
and that railroad company is respon-
sible for their safe carriage as baggage.
The masses of women will be glad to
learn this, for they can hereafter care
lessly throw their diamonds into their
trunks when they start ON journey,
and know that if the stones should be
lost, the railroad viii have to pay the
full value. To establish this principle of
law it cost Mccormick and the Pennsyl-
vania railroad four or five times the
amount of the Judgment.

CHEAP TELEGRAPHY.

Great Britain is about to try another
experiment in postal telegraphy, that
will be watched with interest in this
country, which will sooner or later
adopt postal telegraph system. The
present minimum rate in England is a
shilling for twenty-five words, or cent
word. The address and signature go
free. Partly to overcome the evil of
extending the address, and partly to
reduce the cost to senders, new sys-
TEN of charges has been arranged and
will go into effect on August L. The
new plan will reduce the minimum rate
Just one-half, but it contemplates cut
ting down the addresses as much as
possible; to this end, the: adj
dresses will be charged for, though
the signature will go Free
1t Is said that frequently addresses con-
tain twenty-five, and the average is
eleven words, or one word more than
the minimum message in the United
States. The minimum message in
England will be reduced from twenty
to twelve words. and the charge brought
down to sixpence. The effect of course
will be to interfere with the wordiness
of the people; it is not thought that the
government receipts will fall off any.
But what this country is most inter
ested in is why, if in England the gov
eminent can afford to send messages for
one-cent word, the American COM
panies have to charge from three to
twenty-five cents word, according to
distance.
