ASSESSED VALUE OF WIvES-HOW A VIRGINIA COURT DE-
TERMINATES THE MONEY VALUE OF A WOMAN.

RECENT opinion rendered by the
H Virginia court Of appeals shows
that the law recognizes n graded
valuation of wives. The complainant
has sued for damages for the loss of his
wife, who had been accidently killed
through the. negligence Of the defen-
dants. On the trial evidence tending To
show that the deceased had been n
superior wife was offered, and, prcsum-
ably influenced by this, the jury gave the
complainant a verdict for 5000. The
defendants objected to proof al TO the
character Of the wife, and carried the
issue TO the highest court Of the state.
That tribunal holds that such evidence
was perfectly proper as means OF esti-
mating the damage suffered by the hus-
hand.
'1f the character and conduct OF the
wife," says the court, abe such that her
death will cause but little sorrow, suffer-
ing and mental anguish To the husband,
hen the fair and just proportion Of the
damages to he awarded by the jury will be
measured accordingly. But IL on the con-
trary," the court adds, 1.-THE wife be loving,
tender and dutiful To her husband, thrifty,

Mexico, to New York Is years ago when
she was only a year old. Arriving at the
gentlcman's house, she ang "a few Span

Cash registers, so called, are by NO
means new thing, but the latest style of
register is a perfect marvel. 1t registers
the amount of the purchase, indicates the
amount to the clerk or cashier as well as
to the customer; opens the drawer ready
for making the change, rings bell to
give the alarm aud adds the amount
registered to the amount of all former
registrations. All this is accomplished
by a single depression of one key. This
little machine is perfectly honest and
makes no mistakes. 1t detects careless
ness whether it is on the part of the en-
ployers or employees. When the days
work is done the machine has all the cash
added UP, SO that it can be seen at o
glance what amount of money should be
found in the drawer. Or if at noon, or
at any other time in the day. the pro
prietor wishes to find out how much
business bas been done, it is not a
minutes work to find out with the ma
chine, which is provided with a secret
lock, to prevent the possibility of any one
altering the figures or tampering with the
mechanism.
The machine can be ready for days
work and set for another days work in
less than two ruinutes The clerk may
lock his machine so that no person can
tamper with it and SO that the clerk
himself cannot interfere with the regis
tering mechanism. The proprietor. if he
chooses, may, i'll 4 moment, set the mech

Gen. Sheridan has often visited Omaha,
and his face is familiar to many OF our
citizens, in whose hearts he holds warm
place. Of all his visits to Omaha mono
is more memorable than that in January,
1872, when he and his staff came here
to meet the Grand Duke Alexis of Russia
and suite and to go with them on grand

bllffaloes.
The buffalo hunt, which was conducted
under the direction of Gen. Sheridan,
was a very successful affair. The de-
tails were executed by Buffalo Bill, who
was a great favorite with Sheridan.
During the hunt grand war dance was
given by Spotted Tail and his Indians,
1,400 in oil, who had been brought down
from their agency by Buffalo Bill to en-
tertain the visitors On the return from the
hunt the grand duke and Gen. Sheridan
took seats in double seated open carriage
drawn by four splendid cavalry horses,
which were not much used to the harness.
The driver was Bill Reed, an overland
stage driver. On the way in the grand
duke frequently expressed his admiration
of the skillful manner in which Reed
handled the reins. Sheridan informed
him that Buffalo Bill had also been a
stage driver in the Rocky mountains, and
thereupon his highness expressed a desire
to see him drive. Buffalo Bill was in ad-
vance, and Sheridan shouted out to him:
''Cody, get in here and show the duke
how you can drive Mr.. Reed will change
places with you and ride your horse"
''Al right, general" responded Cody,
and in a few moments he had the reins
and the horses were dancing over tl;e
