sherman,s Positive Assertion,


1t is not wise for public man to ex-
press himself positively and emphatically
about matter of fact unless he is beyond
all doubt certain that he is right, There
are very few public men whose memories
are not at fault once in awhile. Senator
sherman, a few days ago, asserted very
emphatically that when he was Secretary
of the Treasury he never refused to fur
pish any information on file in the Treas
nrS department respecting removals.
Ha maze that statement to support his
aroumenfJn favor OF a resolution request
ING information from the departments
relative to remoRsls.
The Senator, it Is stated, is liable to
find out that he made a7iiSSistake. IL is
understood that Senator ColSuiIt rs a
letter, written by Mr.. Sherman NOW IL
1877, in which he refused to give Mr.. COn1R,-s
ling information about certain New York
Custom House removals. AT that time
MIR. Conkling was Chairman Of the SEN
ate Committee ON Commerce. Mr.. Sher-
mans refusal, it seems, was based ON the
ground that the Senate has no right to
such information.
II such a letter is really in existence it
will doubtless be produced when the de-
bate on the resolution in question is re-
sumed. 1t will be interesting to see how
Mr.. Sherman will excuse himself for
making so grave a mistake, which, in
effect, amounts to taking different posi-
lions With regard to the same matter for
no other reason than that it suited his
purpose to do so.

Silver from the Wage Workers

Standpoint.
Mr.. Edward Atkinson, of Boston, who
has earned a wide reputation as a writer
on economic subjects, in a letter TO the
Massachusetts Reform Club draws atten.
tion to one phase of the silver question
that is just beginning 10 attract attention.
In the course of his letter he says: "Who

an average income OF $4OO year for three

An Africa. Amerlcan Industrr

When a tall, lank adventurer named
Dwight Whiting established an ostrich
farm near Los Angeles, Cal, a few years
ago, the country looked on the enterprise
curiouslv, and but few people believed
that 1t was anything more than a vision
airy undertaking of an enthusiast or
a crank. The fellow had few thousand
dollars in cash, and good deal more
knowledge gained from experience, it
seems, than he got credit for. He took
good care OF his birds, and they increased
steadily in numbers, and a year or two
ago they began TO bear regular crops of
feathers, with little regard to the weather
or the seasons.
1t is SAID that this man now has over
800 ostriches, each one of which is worth
as much as a thoroughbred horse, and
that his semi-annual sales Of feathers,
which he personally superintends in New
York, bring HIM in great deal Of money,
but how much he carefully keeps secret.
The fact is. he Is not at all cOmmunica-
tive on the subject of ostrich raising and
management, and his neighbors have
conceived the idea that be has a regular
bonanza in the business, and that he
wants TO keep the facts to himself, lest
competition should be soon developed,
and the market for feathers be over
stocked. Many neighboring ranchmen
are anxious 10 20 into the ostrich business,
but so far they have not been able to get
stock birds or eggs TO begin with. Whiting
will not sell either at any price at present,
though after awhile, when he gets as many
birds as he wants, he may follow the ex-
ample OF some OF tine fancy poultry deal
ers aud dispose Of his surplus eggs-half
boiled to Insure their not hatchlng-at a
few hundred dollars per dozen.
Had the enterprising and enthusiastic
Baron lie Due remained at the head OF tue
Department OF Agriculture, no doubt ne
would have introduced ostricnes extern
siyely In this country, and would thereby
probably have ecllpsed his tea record.
The ostrich is believed to be as hardy In
the southern portions OF the United States
as the gaudy peatowl, but IL would not be
advisable for very many persons just now
to 70 into ostrich-0reeding for profit.

Infinite pity that the law respecting
adultery as it existed under the COM
monwealth, about the middle of the
seventeenth century, should have been
APPEALED. The law then made adultery
yfelony; and every person, as well
the man as the woman. offending
herein, shall suffer death without
benefit of clergy" provided that this
act should not extend to any man who
did not know at the time of such offense
committed that the woman was then
married: or to a woman whose husband
should be beyond the seas for three
years, or repUted dead; or to woman
whose husband should be absent for
three years in any place so the wife
should not know her husband to
be living within that time. At the
time of the Restoration, however,
in 1860 this law was not renewed, but
in its stead law adopted which, with a
few unimportant changes, has remained
in force up to the present, and that law
gives q satisfaction to the husband Tho
has been wronged by action of trespass
against the man who has committed
the off nse, the amount Of damages al
lowed being governed by the rank and
fortune OF the plaintiff and defendant.
Adultery, of course, if proven, affords
sufficient grounds for the granting of a
divorce BY the courts, and this is the
extent of the satisfaction granted in
these cases.
