A LONG-TRIEO SUIT.
Russian Justice Occupies Four Centuries
in One Case.

A Russian paper notes the termina-
ton recently of lawsuit begun 1890. or

numberless generations, and, curiously
enough. has been finally settled by
peaceful arbitration. This protracted
litigation. as we'll as the satisfactory
manner of its termination. reminds US
Of the celebrated case described by
Rahelais, in which Panta cruel acted as
umpire. This classic lawsuit had lasted
many years between two French mobiles.
lnnumerable law papers had been pre-
pared on both sides. and all the courts
had been gone through, with the result
Of utterly befogging and mystifying the
claims of both parties. The umpire

of the controversy, their respective
arguments were made up of blind and
incoherent repetitions of such of tho
legal jargon as they could recollect from
reading the documents drawn up by
their lawyers.

No human being can come into this
world without increasing or diminishing
the sum total of human happiness, not
only of the present, but of every subse-

tach himself from this connection
There is no sequestered spot in the uni

from his relations to others, where he
can withdraw the influence of his eXis-

have companions who will be better

an old saving. and one of fearful and
fathomless import, that we are forming

octers, Whose? Our own or others?
Both: and in that momentous fact lies
the peril and responsibility of our exist

Considerable ignorance exists, even
among persons of education, as to the
habits of the salamander. The mere

and fire-inhabiting creatures, which
have probably caused many of the poor

far above belief in such absurdities.
The spotted salamander is the color of
lamp-black, with numerous large yellow
spots and stripes, and is very common
all over Southern Europe, as we'll as in
Northern Africa. 1t hauntS all manner
of dark and cool places, such as cavities
under logs of wood. and holes in old
walls, where they can find supply of

An Experience Which Disproves One of
Darwin's Theories.
According to Darwin one of the chief
mental differences between man and
woman is woman's greater tenderness.
Of this feminine tenderness the world
has been able to Judge on vast scale
during the last two or three years.
According to statistics 80. 900 humming
birds were sold in London in one after
noon, and the number of Brazilian and
New Indian birds sold in one auction
room during four months. 404, 464. One
dealer in South Carolina handles 80, 900
bird skins each year. During four
months 10000 birds were supplied to
New York dealers from single village
on Long Island: and an enterpriSing
woman from New York contracted with
Il Paris millinery firm to deliver during
this summer 40, 600 or more skins of birds
at 40 cents each. \ CORES spondent of q

The COMING WINTER.

The Now York Times has been
making IL careful study of weather
indications with results that are
rather depressing to everybody but
natural gas compani, s, coal dealers
and Southern hotel proprietors.
In the first place, the California
rainy season is said TO have been
unusually raw and chilly; and this
as well as the rather short crops be
tween the Rocky Mountains aud the
Alleganies, is thought to be Il sign
of II hard winter. The failure of
the fruit crop ut the East is reckon
ed as another indication that nature
needs and is therefore likely to get,
cold weather and plenty of snow.
In country stores, according to the
report, hens are described as being
strangely loath TO bring out fall
broods of chickens; pigs are being
born with triple instead of double
twists in their tails; old COWS are
dying off, and the leaves have fallen
prematurely. The hunter also con.
tributes his stock of forebodin@s.
based chiefly upon the fact that
SqulFrclS are observed 10 De wear
ing fur coats of great thickness, and
the cOons and foxes are unusually
fat. Along the Hudson river, in
New York, the thickness OF clam
shells gives cause for alarm, as stud
led in Connecticut, is thought to
pOrtcnd an old fashioned winter of
extreme severity.
The chief reliance of the dismal
prophets, however, is the trio theory,
according to which the average of
cold for every three winters is
about the same. Consequently, 1888
and 1889 having been very mild
1890 should be very cold. Butany
body who thinks that, in this mat
ter: call signs fail, is quite entitled
to his opiuion.

OF the tests applied TO the ancient

sition. There is no better or truer
young Democrat in the State than
he is, and there is no one who could
fill the position better.
Holly g. Armstrong, Esq, OF
jackson county, and D. b. Harding,

it would be difficult to make choice.
for they are both competent and
worthy of the office.
Nj. John l.. Thornhill, OF Charles.

passing vehicles, process which
will hardly be completed by the
time frost comes again. Outside of
the plank and gravel roads on which
toll is charged, and Il few naturally
good roads, there is not one in
any county in the state at large
which is really fit to drive on-for
more than few weeks in the year.
it is quite true that we are not as
dependent on the common roads as
the ancicnts We're for interecom-
muication. Oar railroads cover so
large part OF the country that
commerce flourislies in spite of the
wretclcd common roads Ii lis still
true, however, that the latter are n
disgrace to our civilization; and the
man who has made provision for
systematic education in the art Of
rcviving US from the disgrace, is a
bencfactor not only to Massaehu-
setts, but to the whole country.
What lines the proposed education
will follow has not yet been dc.
termined. 1t will fall short of sue
cess, however, if it does not include
some systematic instructions in the
economic value of good roads as
well rs the methods of making them.
The lack of such knowledge is the
real evil. Ii the people, and cspcc-
tally the producers, realized what
the truth ia, that good roads on
which TO carry their produce to
market or to the railroads enhances
thesvalue of those products much
mni'e than the cost OF making tile
roalls, there would be lar greater
interest taken than thore is now i'm
binding good roads. Except in a
few localities where the people take
some pride in the matter the road
tax Is looked upon as as mere bur
den To be worked out as cheaply
as possible and without any real
reference to to the results on the
road. Those who do the work are
the ones chiefly interested, and
there is no impartial authority out
side to pass judgment on the roads
they make. Hence the annual
scrapiag of mud from ditch to cen
ter winch bears no resemblance,
whatever to good road making
When the school of roads shall have
become fairly established in the

not unreasonably expect to see sim.

The Farmers Vote.

In all the Northwestern agricul-
tural States the issue before the
people in the last election was the
Mckinley Tariff Bill. The farmers
do not like the policy of that meas
ure, and showed by their votes for
Congressman that they proposed to
throw off the excessive burden OF
Protection.
In Indiana, in 1888, the Republic,
can plurality in the Congressional
vote was 1871. This year the Dem
ocratic plurality amounted to 81 ,92s.
In Minnesota, the Republican
plurality of 1888 was 81, 1856. This
year the Democratic plurality was
1876.
In Kansas the Republican plural
ity on the Congressional vote oftwo
years ago was $4,000, this year the
opposition carried the State by more
than 10000.
The farmers of Nebraska gave to
the Democratic and Alliacance can
didates for Congress an aggregate
plurality of about $4,000. In 1855
the Republican candidates plurali
ty amounted to $4,000.
In Iowa the Republicans carried
the Congressional districts IN 1885
by $4,000. This year the Demo,
Gratis win by 5000.
The verdict against the Tariff law
in Illinois was very emphatic. In
1888 the Republican plura ity was
27,667; this year the Democratic
plurality is 1900.
1t is to Congress that the farmers
look for relief from the burden OF
tariff taxation and and it is appar.
ent from these figures that they
have done their utmost to defeat
the men responsible for the McKin-
ley Bill.
In these six States the Republi,
cans have fl Representatives in tn,

Kingwood Argus.
One of the ablest editors in the
State is Col. George w Tippett, of
the Point Pleasant REGISTER. He
has been in the newspaper business
for years and has taken an active
part in politics. He is a Democrat
from way back, and has always
been found battling for the best in
terest of the party, and deserves TO
be honored by it. He is !, prospec-
tive candidate Tor Auditor of the
State, and is being doomed lay his
friends for that important position,
and we hope he will get there.
The Democratic editors OF the State
should rally to his support, one aud
all, and insist that the newspaper
fraternity receive the recognition it
is justly entitled To. IL may seem
little early yet to start boom of
this kind, but is said that "thc early
bird catches the worm and the
time for naming the man will soon
roll around, and with our oldtime
Democratic majority nomination
is mortgage on the office, and we
want the mortgage made out in
favor of Bro. Tippett. He is one
of the best known men in the State,
and would get there with both feet.
No one doubts his ability for the
position, and his wide acquaintance
with the politicians aud public men
of the State makes him the strong
est candidate; SO heres to you, Bro.
