The Public Road Law.

1t is a general doctrine of law in
this country that the land in the
highways belongs to the owners of
the land on each side. The farm
generally extends to the middle of the
road, and the public has only the
right to pass aud repass in an orderly
manner, and keep the road in repair.
The farmer owns the highway, the
soil, grass, trees, stones, gravel and
everything else upon the surface or
under it, and may use them in any
way that does not effect the public
right of passage, and the law will
protect his ownership in them just as
if they lay inside his own fence.
Notwithstanding the fact the farmer
owns the land of the road, he cannot
use it himself for any purpose which
at all interferes with the public right
thereto. He cannot put his wood
piles, wagons or pig pens thereon,
and if be does, and the traveller runs
into them at night and is injured. be

ture on the side of the farmers high
way any more than in the enclosed
lands, nor can he hitch horse to a
tree there without being liable for
trespass, especially if the horse should
gnaw the tree or do other damage.
If person let's his cattle go into the
highway he is liable for trespass they
commit by simply being there unlaw-

the sod or barking of the trees, and

If while there they hook or kick or

SOME KISSES.

The New York girl bows her stately head,
And she 6xes her stylish lips
In firm. hard way, and lets them so
In spasmodic little snips.
The Boston girl removeth her specs,
And freezeth her face with a smile;
Then she sticks out her lips, like an open
book,
And cheweth bean meanwhile.
The ST. Louis girl says never a word,
And you'd think she was rather tame,
With her practical views of the matter il
hand,
But she gets there all the same.
The Baltimore girl, the pride of the South.
In her clinging and soulful way,
Absorbs it all with yearniug yearn
As big as bale of hay.
The Chicago girl gets grip on herself.
As she carefully takes of her hat;
Then she grabs up the prize in a frenzied
way,
Like terrier shaking rat,
The Pittsburg girl. SO gentle and sweet,
Lets her lips meet the coming kiss,
With the rapturous warmth, and the youth
full souls
Float away on a sea of bliss.
The Butler girl with her pretty eyes,
From which chain lightning shoots,
Just CLUES her velvet lips to yours,
And lifts out your soul by the roots.

Turned it w hite.

A Georgia negro, having hurt his
leg, treated the wound with mud
from the Ocala swamp, and found
when he removed the bantage that
the wound was healed and that the
leg had turned almost white. The
result is that the negroes of the vicin-
ity are hocking to the swamp and
covering themselves with the mud,
hoping that it will turn them white.

easy-going a husband as any in Cross
Keys?
Betsey Ann Wells never went on
the rails again, except once or twice
with her husband, paying her own
fare.
And once she told the conductor
that spite of every thing the compa-
ny had done, she'd got the best of the
of the bargain good husband and
money enough To make him and her
comfortable for life.

Some Recen, History.

A so-called "Irish-R Republican" meet
ing was held in New York few days
ago with especial reference to the spring
ing of the Sackville-M Murchison corres-
pondence. Patrick Ford presided and
James G. Blaine was the speaker of the
evening. He made Enthusiastically
theatrical address, abounding in mock
heroics about Irish wrongs, falsified his
tory and hyperbole about "British Free
Trade" He commented in his usual
reckless fashion about President Cleve-
lands alleged friendliness for England.
This recalls Blaine's proclamation when
he was Secretary of State, at the time
the Yorktown Centennial was held:
In recognition of the friendly relation
SO long and SO happily existing between
Great Britain and the United States, in
the trust and confidence of peace and
good will between the two countries for
all centuries to come, and especially as
mark of the profound respect entertained
by the American people for the illustri-
GUS sovereign and generous lady who sits
upon the British throne, it is hereby or
dered that at the close of these services
in commemoration OF the valor and sue
cess of our forefathers in their patriotic
struggle for independence, the British
flag shall be saluted by the forces Of the
army and navy of the United States now
at Yorktown. The Secretary Of War and
the Secretary of the Navy will give orders
accordingly. JAMES G. BLAINE,
Secretary of State.
Commenting on it, Patrick Ford, in the
Irish World, December 10, 1881, wrote
Broken in health and threatened with
blindness, Mr.. Boyton has at length been
released from kilmainham. He passes
from the prison to the hospital, there
perhaps 10 end his life, the latest victim
of British tyranny. There is no more
shameful chapter in the history Of our
international relations than the one
which records how this Union soldier has
been allowed to pine away in his prison
cell week after week without the Govern
ment, for which he risked his life, inter
fering to secure for him even 80 much as
trial by jury. The Boyton case will
ever remain blot on our history.
The man who has been guilty Of allow
ing this Union soldier to be imprisoned
without trial in a foreign country on a
vague suspicion ought to be driven from
public life. In his funkyism to the
English government James G. Blaine has
refused to protect American citizens
whom he was bound by every principle
of law to extend protection to. Such a
man has no conception Of what is due to
the honor Of the United States, and should
never again be placed in position where
he can disgrace our Government.
Boyton was veteran soldier and an
American citizen, who was arrested in
England as suspect, and appealed to
Mr.. Blaine in vain to aid him even to the
extent of procuring him trial. IL Alta.
