In A recent trial in England Justice
North laid down some excellent law per
tanning to the custom in vogue among
photographers of displaying the prints
of their most fashionable patrons. The
plaintiff in the case sought to restrain the
defendant from so exhibiting her photo
graph, insisting that although the copy
was not one which she had paid for, she
still possessed the right to forbid its dis
play, TO which she was much aversc. The
defendant, on the other hand, claimed
the property as his, to do with as he him.
self decreed, and it was in evidence that
he had not only exhibited the pictures
but that he had sold a number TO outside
parties. In affirming the correctness of
the plaintiff position, Justice North
went out Of his way to scathinely con
denim the liberties so often taken by deal
ers in this regard, %pronouncing the GUS
tom an unwarranted and brutal one. and
insisting that the subjects right in the
property named was as clear and abso-
lutte as in other estates.

Inc Russian is crossing himself all day
long. When he first comes forth in the
open air IN the morning if no church be in

first sound of some bell, then, turning

fore and after each meal. When you make

To Avoid CollisiOu.

When train is prevented from arriving
on time at its meeting point, we must have
some rules by which the opposing train
may proceed or all business ON the road
would be suspended by the DELAY of a
single train. Only the general principles
of these rules can be stated within limits.
They are as follows:
First-All freight trains must wait in
definitely for all passenger trains.
Second-When one train only is behind
time the opposing train of the same class
will wait for it a specified time, usually ten
minutes, and five minutes more for posi-.
BILE variation of watches, then go ahead,
keeping fifteen minutes behind its sche-
dule.
Third-But should such train, running
on delayed time, lose more time, or in any
other way should both trains get behind
time, then the one bound in a certain
direction-for instance north-has the right
to the track. and the other must lie by in
definitely
These principles duly observed will pre-
vent collisions, but they will often cause
trains to lose a great deal of time. The
train dispatcher, therefore has authority to
handle extra and delayed trains bv direct

A Maine Beauty Who Keeps Fat and

LEWISTON (Me.), January 6th.-Josephine Be-
dard is a pretty, dark-eyed, vivaciuus French
Canadian girl, who has been on a Christmas
visit to her uncle and cousins in Lewiston for
the past few days If the story is true she has
tasted more than $3.50 days, having neither
eaten nor desired to eat, nor tasted food in any
form for that length of time. On Christmas
Day, 1881, she was violently attacked with
diphtheria, and for three weeks hovered be-
tween life and death
From this sickness begins the date of her pro-
longed and curious fast, and to-day her susie
nance is derived from water only, which she
drinks as people drink ordinarily No eatables
can arouse her appetite, and the most delicious
fruits are no temptation to her. In appearance
she is OF medium blight, weighing 195 pounds,
with symmetrical figure, intellectual head and
what is called pretty face, with sparkling
brown eyes and short, coalblack hair.
Mr. Bedard said that when i'll Canada, in or

CHINESE EXCLUSION.
Reported Expressions of Senator Stanford
Upon the Subject.

reported expressions OF Senator Stanford
Upon the Subject.
The San Francisco Examiner publishes q
dispatch from Washington in which Sem
ator Stanford is reported TO have said, upon
the attempted labor scare on account of the
passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act
The Cinnamon are not leaving the
country very fast, and the number of those
who are is more than offset by those who
come in from Canada at various points
along the border. The trouble in the fruit
districts, in my judgment, will be only
temporary. If additional labor is needed,
it can be supplied from a good class of
white men in the East. The rates for
transportation are low, and it would be
better for the Pacific coast to suppant the
Chinese with the whites, especially such q
class as would be drawn tbither by the
prospect OF steady work at a good rate of
pay"
The correspondent asked Senator STAN
ford if he would favor amending the re-
striction law to the extent of allowing
limited additional number of Cinnamon to
come to this country.
Senator Stanford said he would not.
The Chlnaman," he continued, lis a dis
turolng element in our civilization. He
cannot be assimilated with our population.
He is sojourner and not q colonist. 1t is
mistake to think that be would come to
this country in such numbers as to overrun
u.s.. He has never colonized any country
in the worlds history, except the island of
Formosa, and he probably never will.
The prejudice against him among certain
class OF our people, however, is very great.
So long as this prejudice exists, think it
better to keep him away"
One of the most potent arguments
against the Chinaman in the East, Senator"
suggested the correspondent lis that he
works for starvation wages. Is that true?"
'It is not true, The Chinaman is paid
good wages. He does not earn as much as
a white man, because the latter is capable
OF doing more work; but, relatively, he is
paid quite as well. More than that, he is
one OF the most intelligent and tractable of
servants, but, as | said. he is disturbing
element among US, and we will be, on the
whole, better off without him.

'.the surviving founders of the Secret Order of

Liberation they have come to the conclusion
that under the present autocratic form of gov
ernment the Order has departed from its origi-
nal designs, to the destruction of its principles
OF self-government lying at the base of Ameri-
can institutions. Being determined to return to
the original text OF its principles, the signers
extend the hand of fraternity to all who believe
in the principles formerly promulgated, viz
secrecy, obedience, mutual assistance and the
placing OF industry on scientific basis
The signers have determined to eliminate all
opposition detrimental to the principles and
progress OF the Knights of Labor as the founders
intended, The circular, it is stated, is issued
through the press to notify those at distance

subject Numbers for Assemblies will be given

been formed to call a joint convention for the
good of the Order. Those desiring to be with

THE MoRIER LETTE
A Matter That Continues TO Agitate Ger

BERLIN, January 6th.-The Post practically
accuses Sir r. d. Morier OF forgery. 1t says:
.The wonderful jargon of the Bazaine letter,
bristling with anglicisms and solecsms, cannot
possibly have been written by Frenchman."
The h0(Rische ZeauRg, which first published
the original charges against Morier intimates
that the letter conveys the impression that it
was written by an Englishman, aud that only
the signature is Bazaine's
The IdSSrSche Zeitun9 says: This new accusa-
ton against Morier is one of such exceeding
enormity that it can only fill German readers
with q feeling of profound shame. Unless
proof of its justness is Immediately rendered the
charge can hardly fail to have an almost infu-
rating effect upon foreigners"
The Weiser Zeitung deplores the "palpable
animosity' displayed i'll the publication OF the
charge.
IN MoRIER's DEFENSE.
LONDON, January 6th.-The Journal DeS Ds5ats,

proving that the fighting in Meizin 1870 began the

ceived Morier's intimation of the approach of
the Germans. Similar statements are rub
lished by the Vienna papers. Most OF the papers
and also the st. Petersburg press side with
