In it's decision in the case Of Guilmar-

the fun text of which has Just been re-
ceived here. the supreme court pays a
high compliment TO Judge MacDonell Of
the city court. before whom the case was
tried. Among other thingsit says:
THE law applicable to the case is so
clearly stated in the charge of the court
below that we give in substance the prin-
cipal portions OF the charge adopting the
same as part Of this opinion"
The burden was on the defendant the
decision states 10 show that 1T exercised
proper diligence. The law prescribes a
certain standard Of care as TO baiments
OF this kind. which is the general conduct
of a class-the conduct of men of common
sense as "a class. in the case of their own
says the supreme court that the conduct
of the bailee i'm this particular ease con-
formed to that standard
The decision concludes with the state
meut that the conduct of the ballec as to
his own property may fan short of the
standard of diligence prescribed as TO the
property intrust ted to his care, and nothing
less than actual proof of such diligence
will satisfy the requirements of the stat
ute. Under the evidence before them. it
states. the jury were authorized TO find
as they did, that the defendant failed to
show due diligence.

THE ROMANCE OF THE TELEGRAPH.
Some OF tho Odd DihlcuIties OF Operating:
n Limo Through Ouecr Countries

| Some OF tho Odd DinlcuIties OF Operating
Line rhrouE., Queer Countries.
4 good deal Of romance hovers around
| the means by which the world IS news is
| gathered. The speed and accuracy with
| which telegraph messages arc trans
| mittcd between tho uttcrmost parts of
| the earth is marvellous when the condi-
| tions under which they arc sometimes
| transmitted are considered.
Tho European telegraph line
| offers good illustration. It runs from
London to Lowcstoft On tho east coast
of England. 1t then dips under the sea
to Emden, Oh tho German coast, whence
it passes through Germany to tho Ruiz
sian frontier. From this point the wiro
passes by way of Warsaw, Rowno, Odes-
sa, the Caucasus. and Tifiis to Persia, and
by Tauris to Teheran, the capital of the
shah's queer domain. There it joins
tho Indian government limo which runs
from tho Persian capital to Bushire OH
the Persian gulf Thence tho wires run
through Baluchistan, and complete the
route by connecting Mt karachi, in
northern India. The operation of this
immense stretch of line, passing through
countries of such varying climates and
general characteristics, is obviously ono
of much difficulty. On the snow
swept stcppes of Russia tho wires arc
sometimes snapped like thread by tho
rapid flight of flocks of wild geese The
poles are cut down and made into fire
wood by tho nomad tribes of the eau
casian districts. and the cunning inn
keepers of Georgia seek to boom their
post horse trade by deliberately creating
faults i'll the wires. In certain parts of
the mountainous regions of Asia the
maintenance of the solitary line involves
no little personal risk and hardship to
the staff hands. Communication is
often cut off by avalanches i'll the noun
tain districts. and the work of repairing
after snowfall of five or six feet is
no light matter.
These mountain stations arc provi-
stoned with several months supplies be-
fore the winter sets in, rs the staff will
be i'll touch with the rest of tho world
by tho wire only until the spring
weather opens out the passes. In these
supplies are always included n liberal

THE SOUTHERN SUMMER.
1t Is Claimed That While Long 1t Is Not
Oppressive.

Wrong impressions arc hard to eradi-
cate from the human mind. In the
north and west it is popular delusion
that southern summers are extremely
hot and oppressive, and that life hero
during tho summer months is almost
unbearable. This impression is formed
upon no knowledge of the matter. but
simply upon the assumption that, as
we are nearer tho equator, it must
necessarily be much warmer than in
more northern ATTITUDES. An invcstiga-
ton of the records of the government
weather bureau will show that there is
no ground for such an assumption.
Our summers are long, but they are
not unpleasant. The heat in the north
and west is much more oppressive dur
ing juno, July and August than III the
south. Deaths from sunstroke are much
more numerous there, and the heat is
decidedly more sultry. Our long even
lngs arc delightful, and Il sultrv night
Is seldom experienced. Our laborers
work i'll tho fields all day long, and
suffer less from tie warmth than those
of the north
IN nutshcll, our summers compare
fayoraby with those Of any section Of
the country, and our long, pleasant.
warm season is "a decided advantage.
Our farmers can commence to worl, the
land long before their northern and
western brothers think of beginning.
and can continue to utilize it months
after they have stopped III the towns
and cities tho residents are exempted
from heavy expenditures for warm win
ter clothing, and for the larger portion
of the year the only fuel burned is for
cooking purposes
In comparison with the north and
west, 1t is doubtful if our long, pleas
ant summer is not as far superior to
their short blistcring one as our short,
mild winters arc to their long, frigid
ones. Montgomery Gala. Advertiser.
