Bates, that where plaintiff seeks to

msnd upon telegraph company TO,
damages, where such demand IL
necessary to his ght of action, the
mere fact that the agent on whom the
demand was made answered it verb
ally by a refusal on the part OF the
company to settle, saying that the
plaintiff would have to bring suit, will
not dispense with the highest evi.
dsnce OF the demand, which the writ.
ing itself, or proof of its contents
after failure to produce it has been
accounted for; aud that b re- the
plaintiff had made a journey which
he would not have made so early bad

him with due diligence q m. ssage
which ought to have been deliver d
before the Journey was commenced.

ent.
The Auditor who came here the
last of November to examine the
station agents accounts, prior to
turning them over to his successor,
said that, few days ago, while he
was at headquarters, he saw the
managers figuring upon q schedule OF
running time for daily train on the
Wood River Branch railway, this
winter.
This to the contrary notwithstand.
ing, it is to be greatly feared that the
company may finally decide to with>
draw all trains for the wiuter, rather
than to run daily.
Very few here believe that the
Branch road can, except at enormous
cost, be kept open during the winter
with only three trains passing over
each week. Why, it has heretofo. e
been impossible to keep it open with
ono train each wsv daily, and the
road has at times been closed for DAYS
and, on one occasion, for three weeks.
1t Is, therefore, very unlikely that
anything else than daily trains can
keep the road open.
That the company prefers to run
three round trips. only each week in.
stead of six is 'incomprehensible to
most people. They see the company
o,rry the mails aud express. and a
good lot of passengers, and suppose
that it must, therefore, be making
money.
The fact is, however, that probably
20 per cent. OF the passengers do not
pay in cash, but in services. Some
OF the lawyers, for instance, pay in
legal SERVICES; the newspaper men
pay in advertising, in subscript ons to
their publications, and in printing.
The land otfiosrs--what DO they pay
in! In government land? Hardly.
But they do not pay cash.
the express pays cash; but that is
net very remunerative, partly because
the business is not very heavy, aud
part 70. other reasons. There is "a
vince! within a wteel' there.
There remains the mail The com.
pensat!on is liberal in the extreme, as
it is under the Old law, when rates

the law was changed, and the com.
peosat on was Fixed by weight. Bu.
that law cannot apply to the Pacific
or other roads which received gove,n-
ment aid. The Union aid Central
Pacific are of the latter GLASS. Hence
they are paid by the trip. Blu, the

1t is credited on wha. they owe the
government. Hence although the
work Is very remunerstive it is not
held to be desirable to bankrupt
company.

WIRE obliged 10 pass Il certain amount
of military service before llc could vote.
The military training is the only one
nowadays which teaches men to obey
and gives them any notion of the value
of obedience. No training makes men
so effective for every Day use or leaves
them SO alert, prompt and full of re-
source. The adoption of military edu-
cation in earnest would leal to the adj
jus,nent OF serious questions, physical
and national.
The merely useless mechanical part of
drill which is mainly for parade pur-
poses would have to be dropped, aud
useless schooling would have to be
thrown ont.
a child taught to obey in the first
place and efficiently guided in study can
master the courses of our schools in half
the time now spent This by the way.
The great point about military training
is that it enforces exercise for pur
pose, not merely for the sake of exercise.

Dreams of Authors.

Who would imagine that the actual
sleeping dream of an author could be
used as literary material-part of his
mental stock in trade? But this has
been so.
Taey are Of little use for consecutive
narrative. although have been told
that Mrs. Southworth derived the l.lots
of some of l.cr stories from sugses,. J
of her dreams. AS rule dreams fur
nish only situations or impressions which
are likely TO be both subtle and intense.
Who does not remember some haunting
melody of his dreams whose sweetness
moved him to tears, some glilnmering
landscape, some strange and weird jour
neying or faces that suddenly appeared
and as suddenly vanished in this quaint
borderland of the mind:
Or Jel<yll and Mr.. Hyde came, it is
said from Mr.. Stevenson 5 dream people,
and the intensity of the impression pro-
duced hy this fantastic creation would
suggest such an origin. But no moral
sense exists i'll the irresponsible region
of sleep, SO that the graver and deeper
lesson which the thoughtful reader must
draw from Mr.. Stevenson's pages must
have been evolved in his waking mo-
ments.-kate Fields Washington.
