Ing the fact that 1t was shown that the
farmer knew that he was TO obtain
counterfeit money. though he might
have expected better quality than he
received. Judge Cullen, in the Appel
late Division Of the Supreme Court, re-
versed this judgment, holding that
though the common law made stealing
from one thief by another larceny, as
if the offence had been committed
against an honest man, yet the statute
law of New York had superseded the
common law in this matter and had
made no provision for Furnishing Il

Judge said that the old law should be
restored. to cover such cases as this of
Livingston.

refuse them their "unalienable rights

upon them government without their
consent, and to that end are depriving
them of life, liberty ana property. and
instead OF allowing them to pursue
their own happiness in peace and in

fire and sword, driving men, women

GOOD NAME.

Priests. prophets and poets have ut
pride of birth, the insolence of office
and the arrogance Of position; but it
was hardly worth while to take such
things so seriously as Tennyson docs in
his Lady Clara We're de We're" We
all know the Veres de We're of both
sexes; and if we are not wholly indif-
ferent to their airs and ways, VIC laugh
at them. 1t is impossible not to be
amused for it is so ludicrous and pre-
posterous for anybody, any family, any
set, to assume prctcnsions OF "the few
and select" when they arc really far
the most numerous products OF this free
country, where everyone is n sovereign
with royal lineage. If he has the van
ity to set up or invent one. Out OF
every hundred persons You meet, men
or women, at least ninety-nne are
ready to show you their high descent"
And this is easily done: because we are
all descended from so many ancestors
that IL only takes little ingenuity in
IOllOMlIlS t1c llllc OHMsttQ W lNciN TIC
discreditablc connections and recognize
only the most reputable-just as one
does with his living kin!
Nevertheless, pride of ancestry and
hope of posterity are good things in
their way, when not extensively nor alb
surdly exhibited. They help to make
some of us better and stronger. and
they create n public sentiment that
tends to preserve sclf-respect and good
society. Virginians have often been
tainted with their family pride; but
woe to the people who have no such
pride; and the individual who has no
forbears to be proud or. is greatly to
be piticd. One born in the purple of a
conscious superiority may say:
TOO proud to care from whence I
came"
But is is pleasant and profitable
as an introduction and security that
nobody can gainsay.

how long and to what extent this bank

themselves and their stockholders on
the public money-the peoples money
put ut their service in millions by
Gage.
But Gage (the Chicago cx-bankcr)

to play the very games he-ia=pl9eying.
and has been playing. for the National
