WEBSTER'S ARGUMENTS.
BY the law of New York" said Webster. "nO
one can navigate the Bay of New York the
North River. the Sound, the lakes or any Of the
waters of that state by steam vessels without a
license from the grantees OF New York. Robert
r. Livingston and Robert Fulton, under pen
atty OF forfeiture of the vessel
by the laws of the neighboring state Of Con-
necticut no can enter her waters with a
steam vessel having such license from Living
ston and Fulton
By the laws of New Jersey, if any citizen Of
that state shall be restrained under the New
York law from using steamboats, between the
ancient shores Of New Jersey and New York he
shah be entitled 10 an action for damages in
New Jersey with ire bic costs. against the party
who thus Testrains or impedcs under the law Of

with the Clermont should enter heartily into
the project. In 1901 he had been authorized by
the government To experiment with torpedoes
and blew up the hulk of large brig in New
York Harhor with one of his explosive Laden
submarines
Three years later Fulton appeared before Pres
ideht Madison, eX-ITesident jefferson and a
number of members of Congress and DISPLAYED
and explained To them plans and models for tor

MONOPOLY is ENDED.

Wcbster's argument and the argument of
other counsel together with the decision of the
court, cover 240 pages in the seventh Wheaton
United States Supreme Court report
The United States Supreme Court after hear
ing the argument said THE acts of the I.eg!s-
lature Of the state of New York granting to
Robert r. Livingston and Robert Fulton the
exclusive right of navigation of all the waters
within the jurisdiction of that state with boats,
are repugnant TO that clause of the Constitu-
tion of the United States which authorizes
Congress TO regulate commerce, so far as the
said acts prohibit vessels licensed according to
the laws of the United States from carrying on
coasting trade or navigating the waters by
means of fire or steam"
The decree OF the court declared unconstitu-
tional such laws OF the State of New York as
conflicted with this view. New York repealed
the statutes and the Fulton Livingston steam
boat monopoly was ended.

Rabbits Foot. or PlIlf

Rheumatism is not the only ailment
for which the possession of rabbits
foot or hare's foot has been a specific.
Pepys, the seventeenth century diarist,
had one as charm against the collie.
But he was never quite sure whether
he ought to be grateful to 1t. At the
end of 1854, noting his abnormally
good health for some months past, he
remarked: But am at great loss
to know whether 1t be my hares foot
or taking every morning of pill of
turpentine, or my having left of the
wearing OF gown. " Three weeks
later friend showed him that his
hare's foot was defective, not having
''the Joint to it," And it Is a strange
thing how fancy works." wrote Pepys,
"for no sooner handled his foot, but
I became very well, and so continued"
Pepys got another hare's foot, and
throve again, but in March he was
still wondering whether this was due
to the charm or to the turpentine
pills.

Dickens StorIea In China.

The Chinese are rapidly taking up
western ideas, and translations OF
English and French novels are now
in increasing demand. Our romantic
and sentimental treatment Of love az
fairs, however, is thing so foreign to
oriental ethics that the hero Of the
ordinary European novel appears to
the Chinese mind as a person Of per
verted moral sense and doubtful san
ity. TRANSACTIONS of Dickens, there
fore, impress the Chinese reader less
than they amuse him, and detective
stories and tales of adventure com
mand a more sympathetic audience.
To the celestial mind the love af
fairs of David Copperfield can only de
tract from the human interest of that
hero; a Chinese novelist would have
solved his difficulties by making hin
woo and marry Dora and Agnes stimuli
taneously. So Of course John China
man does not understand the pathos

The Mission of Jimmy.

There were two methods of COM
munication in Cove City, both of which
were equally effective. One was the
telephone, which from single, is0.
lated case had developed into an cpl.
demic, and the other, which enjoyed
the dignity of precedence and estab.
lished custom, was to tell Jimmy Fal-
lows. AS a general retires to
a hilltop to organize his forces and
issue orders to his subordinates, so
Jimmy hung upon his front fence and
conducted the affairs of the town. He
knew what time each farmer came
in, where the Helping Hands" were
going to sew, where the doctor was
and where the services would be held
next Sunday. He was coroner, wharf
master, undertaken and notary, and
the only thing in the heavens above OF
the earth below concerning which he
did not attempt to give information
was the arrival of the next steamboat
