Canadian journals report good prowith the Weldon bill, which will not only deetroy the popularity of Canada as the boodler's retreat, but which will also lead to the arrestor flight of the defaulting cashiers and other swinlers now posing as respectable residents in Dominon. It is the retrospective feature of this measure which , some-ex-citieens of this country are sparing neither money nor trouble to defeat A toxfbdo boat has at last been constructed which can be kept under control while traveling beneath the The motive power is el r ctricity, and the boat travels rapidly Cither on water or 50 feet below. The small crew necessary to navigate this engine of devastation and death are supplied with aft from reservoirs, in which it is condensed. Such a boat should be able to pierce thestrongest network surrounding an irdnclad and plant a torpedo before the’ doomed crew could note any ground for suspicion. __ . ■ Thb Legislature of Minnesota, says an exchange, is after the trust in earnest. A bill introduced a few days ago covers the ground amply. It is made unlawful to make or carry out any agreement not to produce any article of commerce below a common standard or figure. Any contract made in violation of the provisions of the law is void, and the purchaser of any article whose price is affected by trusts has the rightto plead the act as a detense for not paying for it The penalties are heavy enough to frighten the offenders of corporations or individuals into keeping in the lines. Onb of the most whimsical of strikes is reported • from Hainesport, N. w J., where the Columbia Iron Works have been closed by reason of the the rebellion of the employes against an order that they should wear boots. The boots were a means of protection which it would naturally be supposed they would earnestly desire, since those who did not wear them frequently suffered from burns caused by the molten metal. The proprietors do not appear to have been at all unreasonable, since they offered to furnish boots free to those unable to buy them. Men who strike under such circumstances deserve no sympathy. Their act is one of incredible folly. Ah English syndicate has purchased 2,000,000 acres of land in New Mexico, and is now stocking it heavily with a view to running the largest farm in the world. It is not to be a cattle ranch, but a cultivated farm, and unlimited capital. Is said to be forthcoming to work it. In some States alien corporations can not hold land, and it is a matter of grave doubt whether antenterprise of such magnitude as this is of any great benefit to the locality. After a while the losses will either be too great, or the profits too small, to suit the foreign owners, when the farsi Will, in all probability, be split up and rented out, with all the consequent evils of absentee landlordism. Thb Samoa sensation has called attention to the German navy, which is the weakest of any of the great European Powers. The Emperor’s fleet is composed of 105 vessels,carrying 605 guns. But only twenty-seven of his men-of-war are iron-clads, and not half of the iron-clads are es modern build or capable of either sailing rapidly or undertaking long voyages. It is also worth noting that of the total number named (105), nearly half are incapacitated for foreign or ocean service, and are really school boatsand revenue cutters. The fact is, Germany’s 8 diminutive seaboard has led to a grave neglect of its navy, which the Teutonic colonization policy ot recent years has only in part served to remedy. Japan has gained sometning substantial from the Anglomania of its-ruler and his court The full text of its new constitution shows it to be modeled on the King, Lords and Commons style, and it guarantees to the Japanese far greater personal liberty than they ever enjoyed while the Mikado was an absolute and,in the eyes of his subjects, an infallible monarch. The members of the lower house are to be elected by ballot,and the upper house is partly elective, partly hereditary and partly nominated. For Mikado has been introducing European customs, and he has given a substantial proof of his sincerity by yielding up prerogatives which, have been dear to his ancestors for agea.f Tub girls oT Cornell have won half the scholarships of the year. They have been peculiarly successful in prizes for 8 mathematics, architecture and botany. It is curious that there is no of study in which the feminine mind more often shows supremacy than in the science of figures. Is woman after all more of a logician than man? The papers presented by the girls are said tobe among the best ever presented forexamination. Yet tiie J ournal of Pedagogy insists that this settles nothing, and that we areas far as ever from a settlement of the vexed question of woman’s intel factual equality with man. Success in an examination under the spur of rivalry it holds, does not settle anything. Then make the spurs Of equal length.

An Indianapolis lawyer has been looking up legislative acts that have been declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, and has found* that since 1853 there have been ab®ut fifty bills decided by the court to be contrary to the Constitution. The expectation that some of the acts of the late Legislature will be set aside prompted the lawyer’s research. A farmer living west of Terre Haute, was, on Thursday afternoon, stopped by two highwaymen, one black and one white, on the National road west of the Wabash river, and robbed; of 19.‘The robbers were not masked and were very bold. One held a pistol at the farmer’s head while the other went through his pockets. There have been a half dozen such robberies on this road, within a mile of the city, in the last six months. A discovery has been made which is said to invalidate the law passed by the recent Legislature for the protection of miners in the weighing of coal. The bill.required that there should be uniformity in the screening and weighing of coal and provided for such inspection as would be likely to prevent cheating of miners. There was a strong lobby against the passage of the bill. The alleged discovery is now made that the enacting clause was omitted from the bill, and if so, it is doubtless invalid.

Jeffersonville has a community of colored people who are very superstitious. Joe Lewis, a we 1-known negro, died suddenly a short time ago and was buried with great pomp. It is now claimed that Lewis has made his appearance on the earth in the form of a ghost and to a former friend conveyed the intelligence that his sudden leave-taking was caused by a dose of poison administered to him. His friends are ta.king Of having Lewis’s remains disinterred for ♦he purpose of finding out if he really was poisoned. A gang of tramps have been infesting the vu initv of the -Aiidland ' Depot at Anderson for several days. Bunday night they forced the door leading into the depot and took possession. Word was shut to the marshal, and, accompanied by several officers and citizens, each armed with a barrel stave, the the building was surrounded and the V igrants were hustled out, sans ceremony. As each made his appearance he was mostbeverely and roundly “paddied,” the chase being continued for some distance, and until every qne had been driven beyond the city limits. David Irvin, of Reno, while in an intoxicated condition a few nights ago, sat down upon the track in front of an approaching train. The engineer saw him in the glare of the headlight, and sougded a warning, aud as Irvin disappeared, it was supposed he had gotten out of the way. After the engine stopped, however, a voice was heard

I shouting, “Back yer boto off me, will you?” and Irvin was found tightly wedged under the cow catcher, afidtwo men were necessary to hold him by the arms while.the “hose” was backed off. Beyond stripping off his overcoat and other damages to his clothing, no harm resulted. The House Journal, said to be the longest in the history of Indiana Legislature, has been completed and filed With the Secretary of State by Assistant Clerk Crawley, who with the assistance of three of the House clerks, been engaged in the work since ment of the General Assembly. The Journal embraces the evidence taken by the Insane Hospital Investigating Committee, whi.h will make several hundred pages It will be necessary, it is thought, to ipake two volumes of the report of proceedings. In one appendix to the Journal a statement of the expenditures of the House is given. It shows that the total for the sesuon was $66,276,11, while two years ago the amount was $64,212,73. . The Female Reformatory, at Indianapolis, was the scene of a lively insurrection Sunday. On Thursday the inmate known as Henrietta was severely rej rimanded for impertinence and insubordination,and afterward disciplined by consignment to the dungeon. Just as the matron had concluded her reproof, five other prisoners walked ihto the office and declared that if Henrietta had to go to the dungeon they would share the punishment with her. The entire party was then sent to the dungeon. On Sunday, by an act of carelessness, the door to Henrietta’s cell was left open a moment. She took advantage of it, rushed to the kitchen, secured a flat iron and several knives and returned to the dungeon. With the flat iron she broke the locks on the other cells, liberating her confederates and the whole party arrayed themselves for war. The matron was equal to the occasion, however. The fire hose was brought into requisition and with the prospect of a thorough wetting they surrendered their, weapons and were returned to the cells:

THE SALT SYNDICATE.

A Big Combination of Capitalists Bat Not a “Trost.” —— " Special from The news that a big salt trust is to be organized does not seem to trouble the salt dealers of this city very much. Many dealers said it would be impossible for a trust to exist, as it would be impossible for a body of capitalists to control the output and sale as it is so abundant throughout the country, and should such an organization be made it would not last long, as the profits would be small. Notwithstanding these statements a syndicate is being organized here to go into the the salt business on a big scale. The syndicate expect to control the price and improve the quality of the article,F. B. Thurber, who is one of the promoters of the scheme, in speaking to a reporter on the subject Thursday, said: “It’s no trust, we are simply forming a syndicate of capitalists to purchase good salt works, and with good machinery and improved process of manufacture we will turn out a better article at a much less price. We will have a capital of $10,000,000, and I am sorry, as this matter is not yet settled, that 1 can not give you the names of the principals in the syndicate. It is silly for any one to say that a salt trust can be formed. If, like copper, the supply, was limited, the thing could be done, but in this country there are miles upon miles of salt, sufficient to last for untold centuries, and such a thing as controlling the production is preposterous.”

MAFTERS OF LAW.

Recent Decisions of the Indiana Supreme Court. (1.) Corbin was standing on a public sidewalk in the town of Rochester, near the outer edge of the pavement, facing the northeast: Mercer, coming from the west, rode a bicycle against him, threw him down and sevely injured him. The sidewalk was fourteen feet in width, and there was nothing to obstruct the view or passage of appellant. The appellee’s complaint charges that the appellant assaulted, beat and wounded him. The special verdict states that appellant carelessly, recklessly and rudely ran against and upon the appellee. Held: That A case is made for damage as for an assault and battery. Held, also, that under section 3,361, Revised Statutes, 1881, sidewalks are for the exclusive use of footmen, and it is threfore unlawful under that section to ride a bicycle along a sidewalk. A bicycle is a vehicle within the meaning qf the statutes (2) Where all the evidence is not incorporated in the bill of exceptions, some statement must be made showing that it was excluded because deemed intrinsically incompetent. In many cases where questions arise on instructions or on rulings in admitting or excluding evidence, statements may be embodied in the bill of exceptions which will obviate the necessity of bringing all the evidence into the record.

(1) Where competent evidence appears in the record, which, if true, tends to sustain the verdict and judgment, unless it is of such a character that to believe it would involve an absurd or unreasonable conclusion, no matter, how much the evidence is contradicted, it will support the verdict. (2) A motion for a new trial, assigning as a cause the exclusion of evidence, must point out the particular evidence excluded, so the Court will not have to search the whole record. (1) In a suit in partition the court has no power to require one-tenant in common to pay his co-tenant for the latter’s interest in the land or for improvements made and taxes paid. The property must either be divided or sold. (2) Where a tenant in common in possession makes improvements on the real estate in good faith, a co-tenant, upon a sale of the property in partition proceedings is only entitled to his share of the proceeds, exclusive of the improvements. (1) When it does not appear affirmatively that notice was not issued, but it does appear that jurisdiction was assumed and a final judgment rendered by a court of general jurisdiction, jurisdiction will be presumed. (2) An action to quiet title is barred in fifteen years. (3) The disabilities of infancy and coverture can not be tacked together to avoid the statute of limitations (4) Title may be acquired to land by open, exclusive, adverse possession, under a claim of ownership for twenty years. (5) The provision of section 297, R. 8. 188 V, that the time during which the defendent is a non-resident of the State shall not be computed in any of the periods of limitation, is not available to and does not extend the period of limitation in favor of a plaintiff who has been a non-resident and who has a cause of action against a resident of this State. He can not ask that the time he was a, non-resident shall be deducted. ’ (1)| Under a complaint to quiet title, all defences are admissible "In evidence under the general denial, and hence there is no available error in sustaining a demurrer to a special answer. (2) A married woman is as much bound by a decree of a court of competent jurisdiction as a feme sole. (3) Where the matters specially pleaded in one paragraph of an answer are admissible under another paragraph which remains in, there is no availabe error in sustaining a demurrer to the former. (4) A decree quieting title to land, unless the description can be ascertained from the record, is void.

(1) In a suit for Ramages for malicious prosecution, the plaintiff may introduce in evidfence the pleadings in a civil suit instituted by him against the defendent for an accounting a few days before the criminal proceedings were commenced against the plaintiff, in order to show a motive for the prosecution other than the belief that the plaintiff was guilty of a criminal offense. (2) A letter written to the plaintiff by the defendant before either the civil or criminal proceeding was commenced, telling the latter that the writer had sold certain cattle, and showing that he acted in good faith, is admissible in evidence for the; plaintiff, in an action for malicious prosecution, in charging the plaintiff with the larceny of the cattle and the embezzlement of the proceeds. (3) Where one partner is indebted to his co-partner, the latter has a right to sell partnership property and apply the proceeds to his own use. > (!)> Where a fraudulent device or scheme is resorted to for the purpose of divesting the owner of title and possession, the offense is larceny. The doctrine that there mum be a trespass in order to constitute larceny, is exploded. (2) A defendent cannot obtain a new trial nn the ground of newly discovered

evidence solely by producing a letter exculpating him from the charge and swearing that it was written by a person by whom it purports to be signed.

THE BABY KING AT HOME.

A Day tn the Life of the Infant Sovereign of Spain. Bt. James QaMtta Very soon the exceedingly blueblooded little gentleman who was born King of Spain will celebrate his third birthday.. The little monarch’s life is very simple. He rises at an early hour, is bathed, dressed and handed over to the wet nurse, who, in addition to the semi-maternal duties which there is no longer any necessity that she should fulfill, takes ' him out for airings and bears him in her arms at State ceremonies. The nurse, Raymunda, at night occupies a bed by the side of the royal crib. Directly the King is dressed he is taken to his mother, who impatiently awaits his arrival. He is' sometimes present at the early morning audiences to Ministers and members of the royal family. His favorite amusement while Queen Christina is thus occupied is to drum upon the table with his chubby little fingers. Raymunda is a faithful creature, and- is almost as fond of her charge as the Queen herself. Upon one occasion a great lady wished to see the King, and the Queen accompanied her to the Youngster’s apartments; but Raymunda barred 8 the way. “You can’t come in,” was her peremptory decision; “he is asleep.” Then Queen and Duchess retired smiling. When the weather is fine the King drives out. Naturally he possesses his own carriage, with an equerry who gallops bravely by its side and forms the only escort. He dines alone at well garnished table. King Baby has only only one trouble in life. It is a trouble which might drive some grown-up people to madness; but, since he is entirely unconscious of it, it does, not worry him very much. The photographer is always on the lookout for him. Scarcely a week has passed since he was born without a demand from some fresh photographer to be allowed to take his portrait. rHe has been photographed standing, sitting, in his mother’s arms, upon her lap, or holding her by the hand; with his hat on and his hat off; full face, profile, and, in short, in every possible position. It is the ambition of every Madrid photographer to possess a negative of the King, since his portraits sell by thousands, not merely in Spain, but in most civilized countries. And this is not all. He has been painted in oil, he has been engraved and etched, and is the original of numberless miniatures. -p ..

Queen Christina experiences a great deal of difficulty in procuring for the little monarch those childish pleasures which are enjoyecLby all children o( less exalted rank. There is always the fear of causing jealousy, and there is every intrigue to be reckoned with. There is no lady in Spain, however high her rank, who would not be proud to say, “My boy has played with the King.” Then there is that terrible Spanish etiquette, and it is almost impossible to prevent a youthful playmate from breaking the many regulations with which a Spanish King is hedged around. Usually, therefore, he is surrounded by grown up people.

The Chinese Emperor.

Vast as may be the Empire of China many as may be the millions he rules over, this young man of 18 must, at least for some years to come, count for very little in the national policy. Documents will be placed before him, and he with tiie “Dragon Pencil” wiMlign them. As Emperor he becomes a priest, and will have now to officiate in the Imperial Temples, the great celebration being that theof Temple of Heaven. At the Confucian Temple he has to address the literati; and an important duty in Chinese eyes is that of visiting the tombs of the dynasty, where fie offers sacrifice and worships his ancestors. These tombs are somewhat to -the northwest of Pekin, and have to be once a year by the reigning lirnperor. If an Emperor of China should chance to have natural abilities,he labors under the greatest disadvantages in developing them. Every action of his life,is affected by the etiquette of an elaborate ceremonial; the 200 volumes and the “Officials who inquire into Heaven,” who interpret their meaning, must swaddle up his whole existence as if he were a mummy. He has none of the ordinary intercourse which other mortals have with their fellow creatures. AU who approach him have to do so knocking their heads on the ground; on his exalted throne he is cut off fiom all those influences which would and do improve the heart and mind. His position can not be better expressed than by repeating what the Chinese themselves say: “He is as soli-, tary as a god.”

CONNECTICUT’S 29,000 DOGS.

They Are * Profit to the State m Spite of the Sheep killers. NewYoikSun. * c Connecticut makes a neat profit out of her dogs. There are alittle more than 29,000 registered dogs in the State, of which 1,679 are females, and the tax received from them last year amounted to $39,043. From this sum is to be subtracted nearly SIO,OOO which was paid to owners of sheep which had been hounded to death by unruly dogs during the year, and a clear balance of $30,000 remains. The dog tax is one of the most cheering speculations that Connecticut has ever undertaken, though the dog fancier is exceedingly to it. Most of the sheep killing isdoneTn the three eastern counties of the State, where large droves of sheep pasture on the hillsides and in the brushy lowlands, and where fox-hounds are numerous, it being well known that aside from the fox chase a fox hound likes nothing better than to gallop after and butcher a flock of sheep and he will do SIOO of damage in a very few moments. He kills for the mere love of butchery, and after he has dispatched a sheep by one quick, cruel snap of his jaws, as he canters alongside of the terror-stricken animal, he rarely mutilates the carcass. He leaves the sheep where it falls, and instantly is off after a fresh victim. In the single town of Libson, a few miles north of Norwich, the State distributed the sum of S9OO in two ~ months this winter to owners of sheep killed by dogs, and a farmer at Plain Hill, three miles from Norwich, is able to keep his five large flocks intact only by ceaseless vigilance. He keeps a double-barreled shotgun, heavily loaded with big shot, constantly ready at his kitchen door, and as soon as he hears the baying of hounds in the neighborhood of his pasture he snatches up his gun and is away to the field. Dogs meet with no quarter at his hands, no matter how fine their pedigree or great their value to their owners, and seldom returns from a dog chase With less than one dead hound. Not long ago he heard an uproar at the further end of his pasture one morning, and, seizing his gun, set out, hatless, coatless and vestless, for the scene. When he arrived there two big foxhounds were loping after his flock and mercilessly slaughtering his sheep, three expiring; they already lay panting with bleeding throats on the gray sward. The farmer got a hound with each barrel, and took the carcasses down to his house. He received full value for the slain sheep from the State, and kept their carcasses besides. If a sheepkilling dog can be identified, his owner is responsible for the damage wrought by him. « Sheep killing dogs were a terror to Sheep raisers for years, and many farmers had, abandoned the industry, when the dog law was passed, which was ample protection to them. The tax on female dogs is very much heavier than on males.
