The kcenness and subtlety of Samuel j. Til
den's methods receive new acknowledgment
from an unexpected quarter. The elaborate
opinion Of Judge Shipman filed on Saturday
does not end the long litigation about the affairs
of the iron mine in Michigan Of which MIR. Ill
den was the principal owner. 1t does not seem
to establish either, that Mr. Tlden took no ad-
vantage Of his associates in the development
of that mine. IT does prove, however, that
Mr. Tildcn was too keen to take upon himself
the immense liabilities with which opponents
sought to charge him. and whatever might bc
the moral character of his transactions, they
had a legal basis that now affords protection
- his estate.

II is a good thing certainly to have instru-
ments to observe celestial and terrestrial phenOm-
cna but il is better to have them in good
working order. This was not the case with
the apparatus provided in Washington for the
recording of earthquakes. The self-rcgisering
instruments were useless, and about the only
observations were taken with extemporized
appliances. Yet earthquakes arc not so rare

moscopcs and other instruments in proper con-
lition. According to the Geological Survey
there were five earthquakes in Ncw-Engand

FARM CANNERIES.
A Paying Investment For Owners OF Small
Orchards.

A Paying Investment For Owners OF Small
Orchards.
A manowho owns a small orchard and
fails to provide himself with cannery,
or at least with fruit dryer or evapor-
ator, commits blunder in financial
point of view. Instead of selling his
fruit to the large canneries at a nominal
price, he can, by procuring small APP
paratus of his own, costing only thirty
to fifty dollars, render himself practical
" independent of the canneries and
realize much larger profit on his fruit.
He can. if he chooses. make spec
ialty of certain kind of fruit, and
bv extra care and attention in
selecting and canning make reputa-
ton for that particular brand or class
of goods that win soon create a demand
for it in the market at more than re-
munerative prices. By the fruit-dryer
or evaporation, also, many tons of fruit
may be saved and probably disposed of
which otherwise would rot upon the
ground or serve as feed for cattle and
swine. A farmer who is his own Gamer
has a great advantage over one who is
forced to sell his fruit for what he can
get. The one is independent, and takes
care of his own crop, and the other
must take what is offered him or lose
his entire product -Resoarces Of Cali

A NOVEL FLOOD.
The Streets of Scotch City Dcluged by .
Flow of Wine.

The Streets of q Scotch City Dcluged by .
Flow of Wine.
ALondon paper relates that the other
night the policeman on duty in St. An
thony street, Leith, was surprised to
see rapid flow of dark-colored liquid
between the gate of the premises of
firm of rectifiers and neighboring
cesspool. On discovering that it was
wine, he at once conveyed the informa-
ton to the manager of the establish
ment, who, on entering the warehouse,
found it flooded to the depth of several
inches. After a search it was found
that the lower hoops of a vat contain
ing fully twelve hundred gallons of
port wine had given way, that a large
quantity of the liquor had already es-
capped from the strained seams, and was
still running rapidly on to the floor.
Obtaining assistance, he managed to
save one or two hogsheads, and
further quantity was baled off the floor.
Altogether not less than one thousand
gallons of the wine are supposed to
have been lost. Meantime the unusual
circumstance of a flow of wine In the
street created sensation in the local
ity. A few of the passers-by, grudging
the loss of so valuable a commodity,
were not above STOPPING down and
assuaging their thirst in the most prim-
tive manner conceivable. Others, more
thoughtful of the morrow, brought
pitchers and cans, and saved what they
could. The sensation ultimately grew
into an uproar, and the policemen were
obliged to drive the people back. many
of whom were sorrowful spectators of
the continued flow of the precious
liquor into the common sewer.-M r

Coal Famine.

There is reason now to complain
without question. There is no coal to
speak OF in the city. For several
weeks there has been scarcity, and
the majority of the people resorted to
wood, but in many instances wood is
poor substitute for coal, and there is
constant cry for more coal. There
i no s.a,ri,y ot the article at all, the
mines throughout the country are
seemingly inexhaustible, aud still Dali
lss suffers for coal. 1t does seem rea-
sonable to suppose the railroad peo-
ple would listen TO the cry of the city
for fuel. If it should go on this way
until the severest weather begins,
which is only a few days of, there
must be not only Inconvenience, loss
of money, but great suffering
and the HERALD when it appeals
to the railroads to supply this de-
msnd, which is pressing. voices ten
thousand people. 1t is the duty OF the
railroad tv supply this coal Let Tor
eign markets take care of themselves
for the time being, and if coul can be
had no other way stop bringing in
other freight until the people are re-
licved. The poor are affected seriously
as well as others; small fattories
are suffering. BY the scarcity OF coal
the poor are made to pay more for
wood. The railroads should hearken
to this appeal. There is no excuse for
it They can bring the coal If they
will. 1t is all nonsense to soy the
roads are crowded beyond their capac-
ity. Stop shipping other freight for
the time being and give us coal, that is
what the people say. If it was cold
weather now there would be actual
suffering, which would be charged
directly to the management OF the
railroads.
