oHEERTNG FoR TRUSTS.

The lord chief justice of England has made decision which has an important bearing on the trust problem in this country. The case grew out of the efforts of a combination of ship owners to monopolize the carrying trade between certain ports in China and Great Britain. The plaintiff was the Mogul Steam ship company, which has been engaged in the China trade for some time, and which until recently has been member of the confer ence, as it is called, which has control of this business. For some reason not stated the plaintiff was excluded from the combination, and alleges that in consequence it has suffer- ed considerable peounisry loss. and the suit was brought to recover damages on this &C., count
 The lord chief justice decided against the plaintiff, holding that the law does not for bid merchants from endeavoring to keep trade in their own hands or from endeavoring to exclude others from sharing in it's benefits. He declared that the combination could not he regarded as unlawful any more than 1t would be if two tailors in a village agreed to give their customers per cent. of their bills at Christmas on condition of their dealing with them alone. In his summing up he said: It must be remembered that all trade is, and must be, in sense, selfish. In the hand-to-hsnd war of commerce, as in the conflicts of public life, whether at the bar, in parliament, medicine or engineering, men fight on without much thought of others ex- cspt desire to excel and defeat them. Some lofty minds, like Sir Philip Sidney with his cup of water, will not stoop to take adyan- tage if they think another wants it more. Our age, in spite of high authority to the con- trary, is not without it's Philip Sidneys, but these are counsels of perfection, which it would be silly indeed to make the measure of the rough business of the world. as pursued by ordinary men of business.

THE HORSE TN TaE BIBLE.

No DIscripsaon or His Color or Form. From the Turf. Field, and Farm.
 Undoubtedly the first horse was brought in by command into the Garden of Eden,
 unto my grandfather, that he might name him which suppose he dip at that time. This was done before Grandmother Eve
 had made her appearance in the garden, so we can say that the horse is-older than one half of us i G., he is younger than Grand father Adam and older than Grandmother Eve The first mention made of the horse shows that he was an Egyptian animal, for in the year 1704 B. 0. we fnp the Egyptians came unto Joseph and exchanged horses for
 bread. This is not only the first mention of the hsrse, but it is as well the first record of horse t1ade. Joseph gave bread in ex- change for the horses, so if in those days Egyptians used yeast we may say now that it was also the first record of a raise made out of the horse. Since that time there have been many raises made on the horse, with correspondingly the same amount and num- ber of depressions. We again find that horses were getting too many, because Moses was commanded not to multiply horses to himself, for 1t was supposed that he would confide in the power of his horsemen more than in God, and it would prevent the chil-s
 dren of Israel from returning to Egypt.
 This is the interpretation given by Bishops Patrick and Kidder to the sixteenth verse of the seventeenth chapter of Deuteronomy. Solomon, as appears by the sWenty-sixth verse, fourth chapter, first Kings, had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariot and twelve thousand horsemen. also find in the second Chronicles, ninth chapter, twenty fifth verse, that the number is stated at four
 thousand. This is supposed to refer to the stalls or stables only. As an excuse for Sol- omon violating the law of Deuteronomy, it
 is alleged by Pyle that he kept them, not out of pride or vanity, but merely as necessary guard to his kingdom against the incursions of the Philistines. Solomon had horses
 brought out of Egypt, for which he paid one hundred and fifty shekels of silver each, and which would amount to ninety-three dollars and seventy-fve cents.
 It is unfortunate for us that we have no description of the form or color of the horses during Solomon's time. Zachariah, 510 B. O., gives us color: saw by night and be- held man riding upon g red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom, and behind him were three red horses speekled and white, Zaehariah, first chapter, eighth verse. And according to Revelations, sixth chapter, fourth verse, 6 red horse was an emblem of war and blood shed. By the second verse we see there was a white horse, and from the third verse that at the time the horse had the \ nower of speech: "And when he had opened the second seal I heard the second | beast say, Come and see. D And by the \ Hfth verse we not only find that the power

A Great Razor Slinger.

 Passing into another corridor, Sambo Hutchins receives the visitor with broad grin. He is in the closing years of long sentence, and report says he has been access sery to the death of thirty-two of his eolored brethren. He is almost as simple as child ! and seems to take some pride in showing you his battle scars- Sambo is the champion rs- zon slinger. He is an adept with this terri- ble weapon, which in the hands of an expe- rienced wielder is as secret and as deadly as the stiletto of Italy and Spain. In his razor contests he has received dozens of sIashes himself, many of which would have proved fatal to others. He has been slashed on the head, face, neck, breast, body and limbs, and is literally covered with scars. Can such man be cured 3 Let us sse. Recent ly gentleman said to him, "Sambo, when you get out there will be a dozen darkies waiting for you, and someone will give you your dose." "Dat's all right, sah. I reckon I can 'fend myself. Dey got to cut quick and deep to cut my heart-strings, tell you" It is easy to argue from this that the ruling passion still prevails. How to keep such men away from mankind, and indeed from themselves, is the great problem of penalo- gy to-day.

From the Boston Herald.l

Last evening, as a Red line coach was making trip southward, and when opposite Olive place, Joseph D. Robinson, fourteen years old, and James Harris, thirteen years old, both oolorsd, hailed it and clambered upon top. One took seat beside the driver while the other sat beside the cash box. The latter rihed the box of about dozen tickets and two dollars and ffty-eight cents in cash. They then got off and the driver, being sus- picious, opened the box, and finding it emp ty jumped off and gave chase, securing both the boys. The one having the money and tickets dropped them in the street when the chase began. The boys were delivered to Patrolman Rohen, of station five. who locked them up, and upon going back to where the chase commenced the money and tickets were found in the street

 A writer who has explored New Guinea describes the nutmeg region. Upon fine piece of ta5le-land he came upon three houses erected in the very heart of the for- est. These were used by the natives for dTy- ! ing the nutmegs. The country was every where magnificent, and the aroma of the spice-laden air delicious. Nutmeg and other equally valuable trees were everywhere growing in great profusi0n. The fruit of the nutmeg in appearance resembles pear, and when ripe opens and displays the nut eov- cred with beautiful red coating of mace. The nuts are then picked and taken to the houses, where they are husked and placed on shelves. They are then partly roasted over a slow fire until all the moisture is extracted, after which they are cooled and sent to mar- ket.
 General N. P. Banks is not to be left un- provided for in his old age. He Is proposed for the Republican nomination for congress in the Fifth Massachusetts district, and there is said to be little doubt that the convention Twill nominate him. He is now seventy-two years old and has had 8 varied career. He was first elected to the legislature in 1s49, when thirtysthree years old. In the years 1851 and 1852 he was speaker of the house, and 50 distinguished himself in that capacity that in the year following he was made pres ] ident of the convention for revising the State constitution. He was elected representa-
 tive to congress in 1859, and again two years < later. In his second term he was chosen speaker of the house, the first Republican who held that office. In 1858 and the two I following years he was governor of Massa- l chusetts On retiring from that office he \ accepted the presidency of western railroad, a but retained it for a short time only. Presi- dent Lincoln, soon after the rebellion began, appointed him major general of volunteers, ] and in that capacity he served throughout } the war. After the war he was reelected to congress for several terms. After his retire ment from congress he was elected to the State senate, and his latest official experience was as United States marshal, which office President Cleveland allowed him to retain until the expiration of his term.
