The oldest lawsuit in the Cook county Nllinois) courts has at last been settled and stricken from the docket. It was the case of Wright Brothers against the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad company, in which the plaintiffs sued for damages amounting to $150,OO0 for injuries to their property occasioned by the great fire of 1871. The suit was be- gun March 7. 1878, and has been tried four times. Three times the verdict was in favor of the defendant, but the judgment was reversed upon appeal each time. The fourth trial resulted in a hung jury. When the case was about to go to trial for the fifth time it was compromised, the defendants paying s2,5OO. for a settlement. One of the plaintiffs has been dead several years, and the costs of the case during the twenty-o -one years it has been pending in court exceeded many times the amount of the judgment.

To good many people it will be a surprise to learn that the cantiniere, who figures so picturesquely in French military pictures and on the stage of comic operas, is nearly as extinct as the dodo. M.

The Providence Journal points out the singular appropriateness of that portion of the opening sentence of the Presidents message in which reference is made to the assembling within the nations legislative halls of those charg- ed with the duty of making laws for the bnefit of a generous and free peo- ple" The remark was perfunctorily made, no doubt, and ordinarily it might pass muster well enough; but this year, as the President seems to have forgot ten, the legislators who assembled to hear his message, so far from being "charged with the duty of making laws" have just been served with en- phatic notice of discharge from that duty by the people.

JONATHAN McAssEY, one of the
former stand-bys of Neihart, and
still very heavily interested here, was
a visitant from the Falls a few days
this week. The boys were all glad
to see him and found him still retain
ing a hearty interest in the political
affairs of Meagher county in general
and of Neihart in particular. He
freely expressed his deep chagrin at
the result of the republican w
ton where Neihart was able to OBJ
tain so little, but also expressed the
opinion that the ticket is a strong
one and hard to beat. From refer
ence to Mr.. McAssey's past political
predictions, we are inclined to think
he hits the rooster on the head, and
also that the other parties must get
an everlasting hump on themselves
if they succeed in drawing much out
of the game.

Hard to Explain.

A Buffalo telegraph operator tells
a joke on himself. When May wheat
was quoted at 60 cents, he wrote to a
friend in New York, who, like him
self, was of a speculative turn, and
advised him, IF you want to get rich
quick, buy May wheat"
It was not long before this ~particu-
lar article broke to 81 cents, and then
it was that the Buffalo operators
New York friend wrote to him and
asked him, with some sarcasm,
Flows May wheat?" The Buffalo
mans wife got hold Of the letter and
perused that part of it's contents
which she supposed referredto a Miss
or Mrs. Wheat with undisguised in
dignation. Surprising that he was
more familiar than he ought to be
with the person named, her anger
endured in spite of any explanation
the poor husband could make for two
or three days.-Buffalo Courier.

Deer Lodge he declared that for

their promise, they had driven the
last nail into the coffin of silver.

EAST ENOUGH.

An employee of a large granite com
pany was driving from the station
with several kegs of blasting powder
and dynamite cartridges in his load
and overlook. a young man walking.
Without waiting for an invitation the
pedestrian sprang up into the wagon
and sat down upon one of the powder
kegs.
lie was Il talkative young man and
began at once to make derogatory re-
marks about the speed of the wagon
or the lack of it.
Were passing everything on the
road he said cheerily-"that is,
everything that is stationary"
Not receiving reply, he continued,
Il was half a mind to hire landslide
or glacier just for speed, you know,
but guess we are doing about as
we'll"
He was silent for some time; then
he broke forth again:
81 say-stop the horsel The earth
is revolving fast enough to get us
there"
Just then he prepared to scratch a
match on the keg. The driver spoke
rather lazily:
''If you are going my way, this is
lust as fast as it will be, but if you
want to go straight up at right angles
to the road jest light that match on
that powder-an you're there now

SENSITIVE HORSES.

Harsh treatment, though it stop
short of infiicting physical pain, keeps
a nervous horse in state of misery.
On the other hand, 1T is perfectly true,
as a besotted but intelligent stable
keeper once observed to me, "a kind
word for a boss is as good sometimes
as feed of oats"
A single blow may be enough to
spoil racer. Daniel Lambert, founder
of the Lambert branch of the Morgan
family, was thought as 3-year-old to
be the fastest trotting stallion of his
day. He was a very handsome, sty-
fish, intelligent horse, and also ex-
tremely sensitive.
His driver, Dan Mace, though one
of the best reinsmen in America, once
made the mistake through i'll temper
or bad judgment, of giving Daniel
Lambert a severe cut with the whip,
and that single blow put an end to his
usefulness as a trotter. He became
wild and ungovernable in harness
and remained so for the rest of his life.
In dealing with a horse more than
with most animals one ought to exer-
else patience, care and above all the
power of sympathy, so as to know if
possible the real motive of his doing
or refusing to do this or that. To ac-
quire such knowledge and to act upon
it when required is n large part of the
ethics of horse keeping.

HUMESIE ID AT FIRST VIEW.

A cold, thin October rain was fall
ing as | took the little ferry-boat and
crossed the Monongahela River to see
Homestead and its iron-maills. The
town, UNANIMOUSLY historic already,
sprawled over the irregular hillside,
circled by the cold gray river. On
the flats close to the waters edge
there were masses of great sheds, out
of which grim smoke stacks rose with
Il desolate effect, like the black stumps
of Il burned forest of great trees
Above them dense clouds OF sticky
smoke rolled heavily away.
Higher up the tenement-houses stood
in dingy rows, alternating with vacant
lots. Higher still stood some Queen
Anne cottages, toward which slender
sidewalks climbed like goat paths.
The streets of the town were horrible;
the buildings were poor; the sidewalks
were sunken, swaying and full of holes
and the crossings were sharp-edged
stones set like rocks in river bed
Everywhere the yellow mud of the
street lay kneaded into a sticky mass,
through which groups of pale, lean
men slouched in faded garments,
grimy with the SCOT and grease OF
| the mills.
The town was as squalid and I'M
lovely as could we'll be imagined, and
the people were mainly of the dis
couraged and sullen type to be found
| everywhere where labor passes into
the brutalizing stage of severity. 1t
had the disorganized and incoherent
effect of town which has feeble pub
lie spirit. Big industries at differing
eras have produced squads of squalid
| tenement-houses far from the central
portion of the town, each plant bring
ing it's gangs of foreign laborers in
raw masses to camp down like an army
around it's shops.
Such towns are sown thickly over
the hill-lands of Pennsylvania, but
this was my first descent into one OF
them. They are American only in
the sense in which they represent the
American idea of business.
The Carnegie mills stood down neal
the river at some distance from the
ferry landing, and thither l took my
way through the sticky yellow mud
and the gray falling rain.-McClure''

IN ACCOMMODATING JUSTICE.

"There was an old justice OF the
peace, in Maine, who administered
law with great firmness, if not with
invariable logic" said a merchant,
land who in the goodness of his heart
was always prepared to not only take
out his costs in trade, but also to trade
out a small judgment and produce
cash himself for the benefit of the
plaintiff The result of this was, of
course, that in the long run bad debts
swamped up the entire emoluments of
of his office, but he kept no books of
his own and never observed the fact.
On one occasion l was brought before
him in case in which $40 was claimed
on the ground that an agent of mine
had pledged my credit. 1t was rather
a delicate question of law, and it is
not very surprising that the good man
made what considered a mistake and
decided againt me. was young at
the time, and demurred considerably
at the judgment. This hurt the good
mans feelings, and leaning forward,
he said to me in a stage whisper !:
Don't fret ; the court will take it out
in trade to oblige you
