In the Circuit Court of Fairfax, last
week, Judge Sangster was awarded $500
or injuries received in a collision on the
Virginia Midland road. The other partief
who sustained injuries at that time receiv-
ed compensation from the railroad conpa-
ny, but Judge Sangster' S claim for damages
was denied upon the ground that he was
trveling upon complimentary pass the con
ditions of which were, that sThe person
accepting this assumes allrisk of accidents,
and EXPIRE ssly agrees that the company is
not liable, under any circumstances, for
any injury to the person, or loss or damage
for baggage of theperson using it, Judge
s. then sued the company for $4,000 dam
ages. and the case was tried on "Wednesday
last, and resulted in verdict for the plain
tiff for 81, 200. The counsel for the com
pany contended that the conditions upon
which the pass was granted were bar
to any proceedings against the company
on Judge Sangster's part, but Judge Keith
ruled otherwise, holding that it was not
avalid stipulation. No case involving this
| point base been passed upon by oul
Court of Appeals, and the decision in this
case is a matter of considerable interest
A railroad company, therefore, cannot
under this ruling. exempt itself from LA

Crop Prospects.

1t is feared that the yield from the corn
crop will not be as laage as anticipated.
The unpropitious weather at gathering
time has resulted in q larger quantity of
soft corn. Much of the grain has not
yet been cribbed and in the low lands Of
the corn.bearing belt there is general
complaint Of the unfavorable condition
The November report of the Agricultural
Department says:
The present crop of corn is the first full
average in rate of yield since 1880, which
was the last of a series of six full crops
giving 26 to IS bushels per acre. The
present crop, raised on an area of 10 to IA
million acres, is slightly above an average
of ten years, aeE bushels an acre. The
highest rate of yield is in Nebraska and
Ohio, 363 bushels. The Southern States
make an average yield. The quality of
corn is very good in the east and south.
medium in the central parts of the west,
and somewhat deprecated on the north
ern border from Michigan to Dakota.
The fax crop this season is considered
to be paying better than any other farm
products, prices ranging from rs cents to
S1.10, and as wheat has ruled low farmers
have preferred to keep itand sell their fax.
A great deal OF. flax has been sold this fall.
The yield has averaged from 10 to ~
bushels an acre and probably 50 per cent.
Of the crop has gone to market. Flax is
generally sown on land where nothing
else would grow, such as prairie sod or the
first crop after timothy. 1t leaves the
soil in fine shape for the following crop.
The high price Of S1.00 bushel Oh the
average for their fax has put great deal
Of money into northwestern farmers
hands and helped them TO iioid off for bet
ter grain values.
The potato. crop is smaller than that OF
1884, on account Of rot, which has reduced
the n ew York crop nearly one-third.
There is much complaint of rot in Wis
consin and Iowa, and in some counties OF
Michigan, Illinois and Minnesota.
The reported yield Of hay per acre
averages Il tons, and indicates crop OF
over AT 600, 600 tons,-nearly as large as
last years. The buckwheat crop will be
large, the average yield exceeding IA
bushels on acre.
The rice is rapidly coming in, and the
mills are running overtime to meet the
pressure. The unsettled rulings of the
Treasury in regard to cracked rice occa-
stoned an uncertainty among the dealers,
which the present circular of the Treasury
prescribing samples.as the type of rice ad-
missible at 20 per cent. win relieve. More
regularly in transactions hereafter may,
therefore, be anticipated.
The prospects of a good; yield Of. sugar
in Louisiana has put the planters in good
spirits.

Effects of the rarinofls4e and 1857

Effects OF the Tariff ofl846 and 1857.
From The Boston Sentinel, Oct II,
The tariff law of 1916 made reduction
OF some Is per cent, from that Of 1912, and
the tariff of 1857 still further reduction
of about 20 per cent, SO that the tariff of
1857 came nearer to Free Trade than any
in The history of the country since 1908.
The industrial situation in 1857, and we
might add all through President Buchan-
ans Administration, was most depressing.
There was no certainty of employment for
factory OF machine-shop operatives. Wages
were low and very uncertain. Half the
time small manufacturers paid their help
in orders on county stores, and the store
men charged whatever they pleased. Jack
spinners, for instance. worked when they
and we have full recollection that in the
Fitchburg, Massachusetts, woollen mill
they worked fourteen hours a day for $14
month and hoard. They got paid once in
every three months and yet this was con-
sidered one Of the best mills to work in in
those days because 1t was steady and new
er was known to stop or suspend.
In the large manufacturing cities, in
Lowell, Lawrence, ETC., there was positiye
want among the poorer operatives. In
Lawrence, particularly, which was new
city and had a large number of new arri-
walls that had nothing laid away, there was
a sad state of affairs. Real estate tumbled
to mere nothing. In some parts Of the
city it could scarcely be disposed of at any
price. We have vivid recollection Of
other similar facts, and, seeing clearly a
huge plot brewing to spring the same
state Of affairs on the country again, we
started the Sentinel that we might be able
to warn our fellow-citizens (who have moi
seen what we have seem of the danger
nay, the ruin, that low tariff would
Dreeipitate.

Protecting Stacks.

Few farmers where grain or hay are
largely grown have barn room enough to
properly store all their produce. Stacking
is necessary, and with even the best made
stacks some loss is inevitable. For grain
stacks covering of oil-cloth, easily put on
and easily taken off, is the cheapest pro-
lection. But oilcloth cracks in cold
weather, and stacks of hay are best pro-
tected by a covering of boards extending
clapboard fashion from the top down to
the bulge on the sides. The boards are
fastened by wires. Seven or eight feet
in width of board will protect a stack nearly
as well as barn. The boards, with care
in handling, may be used for a number of
Years.

The Sanate.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Commercial Gazette makes the
following reference to the U. S. Senate
and its complexion during Mr.. Cleveland's
administration
The Senatorial election in Oregon should
give q Republican to succeed Mr.. Slater.
This will make the Senate stand forty-two
Republicans and thirty-four Democrats.
When Mr. Malone leaves on the Sd OF
March. 1887, the beginning OF the last half
of the Cleveland Administration, the body
will then stand. unless changes occur
which are now entirely unforeseen, forty
one Republicans and thirty-tiye Demo-
Gratis. If Indiana should fail to return
Republican the body would stand forty
Republicans and thirty-siX Democrats. Ii
Mr. Riddleberger should act with the
Democrats, contingency which Republi-
cans do not look tor, though Democrats
affect to believe it possible, the Republi-
cans would still have q majority OF two,
| the Republicans numbering forty and the
Democrats thirty seven. The Republicans
have Il good chance to gain the Nevada
! LEGISLATURE year hence, which will elect
a successor to Senator Fair. The control

Sam Small.

i The co.laforer Of Sam Jones is Sam
Small. Jones wrote that Small had been
preaching only thirteen days and he
preached as well as he did after thirteen
| years. Mr.. Small is of Atlanta. He was
educated at Emory and Henry College,
| and had more brains than anybody there.
lie became an editor, official stenographer
and politician. He was first in his callings.
He had a seat in the National Democratic
Convention. He represented Georgia in
one Of the European Worlds Fairs. His
humorous articles, 'Old ST, read by the
continent, fixed his fame as rare genius.
The Rev. DR.. Hawthorne, formerly of
Richmond, writes to the Religious Herald
of Small
Atlanta is never without a sensation.
The latest is the preaching Of Mr. Sam
Small A month ago he was wretched
drunkard, and no one who knew him had
any hope Of his reformation. Unmoved
by the entreaties of his friends, the tears
of his wife, and the cries of his neglected
children, he had endulged his hateful pas
sion until he was on the verge of insanity,
and possibly of suicide. One night as he
was emerging from horrid debauch, God
smote him with conviction, and he saw
the dreadful guilt he had incurred
and tie starless hell to which he was
descending. He threw himself upon the
floor, and for hours wept tears of gall and
cried for mercy. God heard him, struck
the letters from his soul, and turned his
darkness into day. As soon as he felt the
blessed transformation, he rushed into the
presence Of his wife and assured her that
God had made him new creature, and
that the days of his bondage and degrade
tion We're over. The next day, before a
great multitude, he told his experience,
and announced his purpose to spend. the
rest Of his life in preaching the gospel
Almost every day since then be has
preached somewhere. He has enlisted the
sympathies and won the confidence Of all
classes of people. They believe that he IS
thoroughly sincere, and that his CONVEX
sion is radical and permanent. He is
about thlrty-three years OF age. tie has
wide reputation as a brilliant newspaper
writer. but twill be as a speaker that he
viii rise to enduring fame. Now, that
his splendid gifts have been consecrated to
the work Of the gospel ministry, the de-
sire to hear him is universal and intense.
Last night he spoke to q vast audience in
this city with tremendous effect. In de-
picting the woes Of the drunkard, and
Of the drunkard's family, he was
indescribably tender and pathetic but
when he mathematical the army Of
drunkard-makers, playing their unright-
eous vocation in s'legalized dens of dam
nation, his eye kindled with holy fury,
and his words fell like bolts of thunder
from midnight storm. God be praised
for such triumphs Of His grace.

Ayers Sarsaparilla

AYERS SARsAPARILLA in many similar
cases. and he has never yet heard of its fall
ure to effect radical cure.
Some years ago one of Mr.. .4ELAEp's farm
laborers bruised his Leg, Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor-
rible itching Of the skin, with burning and
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became enor-
mopsly enlarged, and running ulcers formed
dischassing great quantities of extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELAND's direc-
ton, was supplied with AYERS SARsAPA-
ErLLA, which allayed the pain and irritation,
healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.
