enraged animal dashes at him. See how coolly the man awaits the charge, a darn cither hand. The bull's head is at bis knees. Whv does he not leas

head, taking the flag and the stick to

hold it out with in nis left hand and

his rapier in the other, he advances to

waras cue nun. Jae stops, ana rora

moment the two stand eyeing each other. Only for a moment; then the matador unfurls his flag and flirts it in the bull's face. This is the cro wning indignity, the back-breaking straw. He will Kill that man or die like a bull in the attempt. He paws the ground as he lowers his head and gathers himself for a. final desperate eflort. Then summoning all his strength he makes one bound at his . foe. Quickly the mataddPdarts away, his body almost touehincr the ground as he leans over

to avoid the thrust of the long sharp horn. Now the bull's whole side is exposed, anoVwe look to see the deadly thrust, but no, the rules of the fight are imperative, and a matador who should kill a bull would be forever disgraced. The blow must be struck as the darts are thrust, from in front and over the bull's head, only that the rapier is aimed between the shoulders, to strike the heart or vitals. Neither is the matador permitted to strike till after the first charge. Now the bull stops short and turns. ... The matador turns too.. His lips are firmly set, his brow is knit, his eye is wary and watchful. The bull fairly flies as he rushes at him. The man is on his guard: He holds his flag before him, his rapier resting on the stick and aimed at the Bull. On dashes the mad beast, his head to the ground. The

man is between his horns, the ahaggy head at his knees, the audience is breathless. We look to see him dashed to the ground and killed. There is a flash of steei, a deep bellow, the matador darts quickly back and aside, the bull stops in " hU career, the blood gtishesirom his mouth and , nostrils, his knees tremble beneath him, he totters, falls aLd dies, the rapier thrust squarely up to the hilt between his shoulders and through his heart. The audience cheers, the band -plays, the matador bows and receives tbe congratulations of his friends. The east gates are thrown open, the mules are driven ir, and the dead bull is dragged from the arena. So ends fight number one. " Were the subscribers to go on and describe the combats with the other bulls, it would be too much like

a reoetition of what has already been

written to prove interesting. Suffice it to say, there were daring and skillful feats performed, narrow escapes, a banderillo severely injured, several horses kiilled or badly hurt, while one of the bulls had to be lassoed and dispatched with a knife, the matador not being able to kill him. y v Mr; Gladstone's tosliiiand Bill. XiOndoxt Special to Herald . It is rumored, on good authority tha the government land bill will not offer the Irish tenants fixity of tenure, though it will afford increased stabil

ity or tenure, ana : mat i c conrai u s clauses drawn on the lines of last year's disturbance bill, increasing the tin payable by landlords who are adjudged guilty by the courts of arbitrary eviction. Courts of arbitration will be established, wih power to de cide what is fair ren t. " When disputes arise between landlord and tenant the right of free sale will be given to the tenants, subject to the reasonable objection of the landlord to the incoming tenant. Landlords, however, will be obliged to prove to he satisfaction of the court that their objections to the incoming tenants are reasonable. Valid facilities will be given to the tenants to betome purchasers ofjtheir holdings under the extension of the Bright clauses of the land act of 1870. Provision will be made for the compulsory sale of large tracts of waste, land, wbich;Wili be divided into small farms and sold on favorable terms to tenants. Though this programme will not, perhaps, satisfy the more advanced advocates of 4i the land for the people," it will, if carried out to its" entirety, produce" a great revolution in the Irish farming classes." Landlords .will oe deprived of arbitrary powers, and tenants will obtain legalsecurity for their interests in what ever improvement t they may make on their farms. Under the operations of this rroposed law is is probable that the conflict between theiandlord and the tenant classes will rapidly subside, and Ireland will en tiE r on a ns w area of prosperity and peace.

' - q ; ; Advantages of Telegraphy. . In the winter of 1870-71 one of

operators , in the Western union ofilce at Boston had an epileptic fit, His medical attendant spoke to him, chafed him, and made every effort, fo arouse him, but in vain. Subsequently one of his brother operator drew a chair up to. the bed, and took e patient's hand in his. As he did sr he noticed a fee

ble pressure by the fingers, which pressure presently resolved itself -into dots and dashes, faintly communicating to the tactile sense , the words, "W-h-a-t d-o-c-t-o-r sa-y ab-o-u-t m-e?" Asked whether he could hear what was said to hfim. the patient signified assent by a slight motion with the tips of bis fingers, and the result was that his fellow operator got from the patient enough dots aud dashes to describe his feelings to the physician, who was , thus enabled to apply the necessary remedies. It is certain that no other method of communicating was possible under the circumstances,

since the sufferer from epilepsy, al-

thcugh he could hear, could neither speak nor move any of his muscles, except those situated: i in the digital extremities;

The - folio wiug stor$ illustrative of his exceedi ug leanness is told of him : During the war, while in command of a division of Confederates, he had the misfortune to be wounded, but not seriously..

Colon el called at the lady's house, and, as report goes, found her in tears, she having already received the news of her hnsband's injury by telegraph.. The officer attempted to reassure her by saying that the General would be on duty again in a few days, but without avail. 1 Whj m adam ,' ' he expostulated , "you ought not to give yourself so much concern. He received only a flesh wound ; no bones were inj ured. 1 ' 41 Ah, Colonel," she sobbed, 4 'you dont know th' the General as well as I I do, or you wouldn't tell m'-me he could be be wounded without strike-striking a bone !"

A Women Turning to Bone, ... Mrs. Mollie U(z (says a New Albany, Ind., letter) is a highly-respected widow of this city, whose husband, a well-to-do farmer of Georgetown

township, died about oue year ago

About eight years ago Mrs. Utz felt her

health failing, her symptoms being those indicated by a disturbed condition of the circulation of the blood. These symptoms grew upon her, often producing sinkiug or fainting attacks. A little over a year ago she noticed a numbness at the ends of her fingers, and this slowly spread itself, upward until all tbe fingers on both bands became involved. But it was more than numbness it was ossification. The hardening process still continues, and

has now reached nearly to the elbows

on the arms. Flesh, muscles, arteries, and nerves have undergone the hardening process, and are now apparently solid bone, tne skin covering the ossified parts being hard and alabaster-like in anpearance. Eminent physicians

have been called to see the case, but they only examined it to tell the lady tbat she was beyond the reach of aid from medical skill, aud that the process of ossification would continue until u vital part was reached, when death would ensue. Mrs. Utz fully realizes her position, and bears up under it with fortitude and resignation. Her heart is seriously complicated in the disease and the slightest excitement provokes an attack of fai n ting, in which suspended circulation continues until a reaction is produced by severe friction. Ossification of the principal arteries of the heart has, no doubt, set in. Nevertheless Mrs. Utz is very cheerful, and a few days ago left the city to pay a farewell visit to relatives and friends in the country. She says this will be her last trip to the scenes of her happy married life.

BIRD LAW.

,.. A Bloodless Duel . London News. Few duels end so merrily a3 that af" fair between Dareier, the singer, and the manager of the theater in which he was engaged, which has recently been recalled to memory. Dxircier was playing at Belleville, and in a melodrama had the part of a hero who shoots a villian In, a duel. Most unluckily, Darcier's pihtol was loaded, by an oversight of the property-man, and the poor player who took . the role of the villian was shot. Dareier at once flew on the property-man and J?eat him severely. The manager tried to interfere. Dareier, whose blood was up, sent the manager about his business. Next day came the manager's seconds. Dareier, a noted fencer, chose sw jrdi for weapons, and Boulet, the fencing-master, for second. They all went down to the Bois de Iiomainville, aud Boulet tried to get Dareier to tight with pistols. His own reputation would sutler with the police if Dareier, his pupil, slew a man with the svord. . But the actor was obstinate, and Boulet, with the swords m their green baize case under his arm, went otf to consult the other seconds. They retired behind a clump of trees, and the principals waited. Principals in these affairs must never speak to each other. They waited on for a quarter of hour. Theu Dareier said, "Sir, where are your seconds?" .... "Sir," said the manager, "where arc yours?" The principals went in search of. the tenioins, but these worthy men thought better of the whole business, and had "scuttled, " as Lord Beaconsfield says in his dignified way, with the weapons ol war. Fighting' was impossible, and Dareier and' his manager returned to Paris the bast' of friends. j

The Trichinosis Scare. New York World. Statemenis from Chicago and New York contradicting the reports of hog cholera appear in all the papers, but the mischief has been done, and it will be slow work to undo it Every local paper, in the country has published alarming stories about American pork, cautioning the public not to touch it. The result is that the sale of American bacon Has almost ceased in districts where it once was largely consumed. I haye made inquiries of several wholesale dealers in London and they assure me that the scare has frighteued away nearly all their customers. The Pail Mali Gazette of late says: "Had the. Americans been more prompt with their contradiction the scare would not have affected so seriously the foreign market for their pork." Stories are now appearing as to the danger of eating American canned meats. It is alleged that diseased animals are put up, and the statement is supported by a quotation from the Maine Farmer saying that carcases are shipped from Portland which re not fit for dogs to eat. The bad condition in which some of these. goods arrive lends plausi bility to such asse r tions ; but of course this con certea. attack on American meats is the work of a clique of speculators and of English dealers who are ansipus to kill off American competition.

A Miracle -Working Priest, Erie, Pa Dispatch to Cloyoland L.eader. : Tho Rev. Father Mahoney, who is alleged to have raised Miss Quillian from the dead ' two months ago, has taken up his residence in ISrie, and is reported to be.working miracles among the sick and mained. His house is besieged with h undreds of the ; lame, blind, deaf, mute, paralytic and scipfulous people, all clamoring to be healed. Your reporter visited the house to-day and saw the throng of patients. Father Mahoney was interviewed and humbly disclaimed any personal power, but gave the glory, to God,, who,, he says, answers his prayers. James May, Ellen Doner ty .and several others declare they were instantaneously healed of disease. To-day cripples from Quebec : arrived for the purpose of being healed, Mahoney was formerly a priest of this diocese, but has traveled all over the world. Hifl bishop looks coldly upon the miracle business.

How the Feathered Tribe Punish Offenders Some Curious Cases of Ornithological Justice. Hew Dr. .T. Edmund Cox has given the particulars of a trial by rooks which he witnessed netween fifty and sixty 3years ago. He was riding along a quiet road in the vicinity of Norwich, when he was startled by "sounds of an extraordinary commotion among the inhabitants of an adjacent rookery. Securing his horse to a gate, he cautiously crawled for a hundred feet or so, to a gap in a hedge of grass field, i;o investigate proceedings. A trial by jury was going on. The criminal rook at first appeared very perky and jaunty, althougn encircled by about forty or fifty of an evidently indignant

sable fraternity,, and assailed by the incessantly vehement eawing of an outer ring, consisting of many hundreds, each and all showing even greater indignation than was manifested by the more select number. Some crime or other had evidently been committed against the Tools, law." Even the scouts, although hovering about in all. directions, were so deeply absorbed i& the judicial proceedings that they fail ed to notice their uninvited spectator. After a short time the accused wasi seen suddenly and completely to change; his head bowed, ins wiug drooped, and lie .cawed faintly, as if imploring mercy. It was useless; his sentence had been passed, and was irrevocable. The Inner circle closed in upon him, and pecked him to pieces in a few moment leaving but a mangled carcass. Judgment executed, the whole assembly set up a tremendous

screaming, and dispersed; some seeking the adjacent rookery,, but the greater number flying across the field 3. Dr. Cox, upon picking up the remains of thehanless ,,criminal,n was able io

discern that it was a male bird. Whether the otrender in this case had been convicted of theft, or of a crime of even deeper dye, it is of course impossible to say; but it is commonly known thai: rooks are addicted to p 1fering, and that if the robbery is detected as it almost always seems to be the offender is punished. It has been noticed that young rooKs will oiteu pilfer twigs or other useful materials from the nests of their elders, with which to build their own domiciles quickly; and air hough they are too cunning to be caught in the act. only committing their thefts when both the owners of the nest ate abseat, the robbery seems always to jret known.. When the .crime has been discovered and proved, eight or ten rooks are apparently deputed to act on behalf of the whole community; they proceed to the convicts's nest, and in a few moments scatter it to the winds. Similar judicial proceedings are known to be proper to the raven ; and an interesting account of a raven visA was communicated by a well-know a

Alpine tourist to the leading journal of Geneva last summer. During an excursion in the Swiss moMitains, he accidentally came upon a small, secluded glen, which was surrounded by Irees; and not having done anything to reveal his presence, he became the unexpected 'witness of a singular spectacle. About sixty or seventy ravens were ranged in a ring around one of their fellows, evidently reputed a culpri t, and, with much chat ter of tongues and wings, were engaged in discussing his alleged delinquencies. At intervals they paused in their debate, in crder to nermit the accused to reply, which he'did.most vociferously and with intense energy; but all his expostulations were speedily drowned in a deafening chorus of dissent. Eventually, the court appears to have arrived at the unanimous conclusion that the felon had utterly failed to exculpate himself; and they suddenly flew at him from all sides, and tore him to pieces with their powerful beaks. Having executed their sentence, they speedily .. disappeared, leaving the mangled corpse of the unfortunate bird as a warning to all evil-dot rs A most remarkable instance of a spurrow perpetrating a shameful theft, and its punishment, has been recorded by Father Bougeant the advocate for the existence of language among animals as having taken place on the banks of the Leven, in Fifeshire. "A sparrow finding a nest that a martin had just built, possessed himself of it. The martin, seeing the usurper in her. house, called for help to expel him. A thousand martins came at full speed, and attacked the sparrow, but the latter being covered on every side, and presenting only his largo beak sx the entrance of the nest, was invulnerable, and made the boldest of them that dared approach him repent of their termerity. After a quarter of an hour's combat all the martins disappeared,

The sparrow thought he had got the

better,. and tne. spectator juageci tne martins had abandoned the undertak

ing. Not in the least. They immedi

ately returned to tho charge; and each of them haying procured ahttle of that tempered earth with which they make their nests, and inclosed him rn the nest to perish there, though they could not drive him thence." Another equally tragic story is recorded by the Kev. G. Gogerly in the Pioneer, his narrative of the Bengal Mission. uThe flamingo,1 he remarks, 'is common in the low, marshy lands of Bengal. My friend, Mr. Dacroix the well-known missionary - - when once sailing in his boa, up the Hooghiy, went on shore. His attention was shortly directed to ajarg gathering of these peculiar-looking birds, in a field some little distance oil Knowing their timid character, he approached as near as he cculd without being observed of exciting alarm ; and hiding himself behind a tree, noticed all their proceedings, which were of a most remarkable character. After a great deal of noisy clamor, they formed themselves into a circle, in the center of which one of their number was .'left

standing alone. Again there was, a

considerable amouut of screeching hird oratory, when suddenly all the birds flew on the unhappy solitary one, and

literally tore him to pieces." The con

clusion which Mr. .Lacroix came to was, that one of these flamingoes had committed an offense against? the rules of their order, that he had been tried by a kind of a court-martial was found guilty and , had been adjudged, and met with immediate punishment. . . .Bishop Stanley relates that a French surgeon at Smyrna being unable to procure a stork, on aceount of the great veneration entertained for them by the Turks, purloined all the eggs from a stork's nest and replaced them with hens1 eggs. Ultimately chickens were hatched, greatly to tbe surprise of the storks. The male stork speedily disappeared and was not seen for two or three days, when he returned with a large number o! other storks, who assembled in a circle in the town, without paying any attention to the numerous spectators their proceedings attracted. Tne female stork was brought into the midst of the circle, and after some discussion, wasi attacked by the whole, flock and torn to pieces. The assemblage then dispersed, and the nest was left ten nutess. i A somewhat similar case has been cited by the same autnor as having occurred in the vicinity of Berlin. Two storks make their nest on one of the chimneys of a mansion, andt'ie owner of the house inspecting it, found in it au egg, which he replaced bygone belonging to a goose. The stork did not appear to notice the change until the egg was hatched, when tho male bird rose from the nest, and after flying round it , several times with , loud screams, disappeared. For some days the female bird continued to tend the changeling without interruption, but the morning of the fourth the inmates of the house were dlfittirbed -by loud

cues in a neia fronting it. . Tne noise proceed from nearly 600 storks .stand?

trig in a compact bodv listening appar

ently to the harangue of a solitary

bird about twenty yards, off. When

this bird had concluded Jts address it

retired, and another took its place and

addressed the meetincr in a similar

manner. These proceedings were

continued by a succession of birds un

til n o'ciocK. when the court arose simultaneously into the air, uttering

dismal cries. All this time the female

had remained in her nest, but in evident fear. When the meeting broke up. all the storks flew towards her,

headed by one supposed to be the

offended husbandwho struck her

violently three or four times, knocking her out of the nest. The unfortunate

stork made no effort to defend herself, and was speedily destroyed by the

the troop, who also annihilated the

hapless gosling, and left not a fragment

of the contaminated nest.

New York Times. Rf cent statements in the press and elsewhere to the .effect that the prohibition .laws in Maine had not only signally failed to advance the temperance cause, but had actually terded to increase drunkenness and the passion for strong drink, has caused the advocates of the prohibition syfem to make careful inquire into its effects. These investigations, ass must be, admitted, bear, at least upon superficialview, no evidence to support the po-i sitiou of those who comoat the idea that prohibition U au aid to temperance and incidentally decreases crime. From the statistics in queston it appears that in the Maine State prisons there are 191 convicts, or one to every 3,200 ot population: in California, 1,318; one to every 605; in Connecticut, 278, one to every 2,100; in Massachusetts, 75S, one to every 2.200; In New Hampshire. ISO, one to every 1,900; in New York, 8,488, one to every 1,400, and in Vermont, 176, or one, to every 1,800 of population. From these and and other similar it is iihojvn that prohibitory Maine has proportionately a smaller numb r of convicts than any other State in the Union. Further in the same direction it appears that in a given period there were arrested for drunkenness in the strictly prohibitory towns of Lewiston and Auburn, eighty persons, in the semi-prohibitory city Of Bangor 162, and in Lowell, where liquor is sold under a license, 1,760 persons. In other words, three : persons out of every 1,000 of population were arrested for drunkenness in Lewiston and Auburn, sixteen out of every 1,000 in Bangor, and thirty out of every 1,000 in licensed Lowell. Again, by the same statistics, it seems that the tax on the manufacture and sale of liquors in the United States is MAO per capita, while in Maine it is only three cent a bead.

A Stone Baby. Washington special. Mr. W. C. Renfrew, of RusseH.ville, Ark., the proprietor of the Indian stone baby, has been stopping for the past week in this city, having brought his baby with him, with which to puzzle the scientists of Washington. This stone baby was dutr up by some laboring men near the Eureka spiings, in October, 18S0. It was four feet ielow the surface of f the ground, and when discovered was enveloped in a composition of blue clay, calcareous marl and free lime, a portion of which has not yet been removed from the image. It is twenty six inches in length, and weighs eighty-live pounds. The body is of very hard blue limestone,. and is so nicely cut as not to show marks of the i ustrume n t used. The learned men of the Smithsonian institute have examined it, and are puzzled, never having seen anything like it b'efor. Mr.. Renfrew left to-day for Philadelphia to lay it before the Academy of science there . It appears to have been made by a people higher In the scale of civilization" than the North American Indians,

The Russian Priest's Wife. Jennie June. There is only, one happy woman

Russia; it is a common mode

pression to say, "as happy as. a priest's wife." . The reason why she is happy is because her husband's position depends upon her. If she dies he is deposed, and becomes a mere layman; his property is taken away from him, and distributed, half to his children and half to the government. This dreadful contingency maken the Russian priest careful to get a healthy wife, if he can, and make? him take extraordinary good care of her after he has cot her. He waits upon her in the most abject way. She must never get her feet wet, and she is pelted and put in hot blankets if she has so much as a cold in her head. It is toe greatest possible good fortune for a girl to many a priest, infinitely benter than to be the wife of a noble." Turcoman Man-stealers. Our correspondent in Central Asia writes from Muhamiuedabwl; "The insecurity of life and property iu?ihis border territory is almost incredible., I had previously heard a good deal about it, but until I came here I could for m no adequate Idea ... of th e reality, One ?an scarce venture about

half a mile, in some cases not so far, from the fortified enceinte of one of the villages, or kalas, without risking capture by the seemingly ever-present marauding Turcoman bands. The Tekkes generally make their descents with a view ofcarrying ottcattle.horses and camels, but human prisoners do nob come amiss to them. Btill.systematic man -stealing does not go "on to anything like the extent; which prevailed previous to the closing of the sla ve markets of Khiva and Bokhara by the Russians. In a Turcoman household slaves are not required, and men are only carried off with a view to h old them to ransom . This, ho we ver is not nowadays a very paying speculation. The border peasants are not rich, and a considerable time may elapse beforeevena small sum is "offered for their release by family or friends. Mean time, they may have cost their cantors more than the amount to feed tnem,

and they are entirely useless as shepherds, the smallness of the distance .separating them "from home, and the facilities for escape beir g so great that they must be kept in confinement and heavily chained. Very often, though, when the Kurds have made numerous prisoners, the Turcomans sweep away a number of Derguezll, wit h a view to exchange them against their friends There are at present here in Muham medabad half noade, Turcomans, captured at different periods, and awaiting redemption by their friends. They are all heavily ironed, each having an iron collar - round his. neck, and a hoop of the same material encircling his waist, From, both depend chains with, links a foot long, H re those of French galley-slaves, and attached to the wrists and ankles. These irons are worn night and day. One of the prisoners, a stalwart young man, has been in captivity over twoyears,and though but 30 tomans (1 2) are asked for his ransom, none of his people have come forward to pay it. "In connection with these captives a horrid affray took place here some days ago. Among a freshly captured batch was one who had - been very badly wounded in the affray. When brought here he was looked after pretty well, but at length it was evident that his life could not be saved. The governor was sending in the heads of some Turcomans to Meshed, and his messengers wero about starting. As the wounded Turcoman must die sooner or later, and nils head wculd swell the number being forwarded to the prince-governor, hi3 throat was delib eiately cut, and the skin of his head stuffed with hay duly paced off with the others. Almost every, fifth or sixth person one meets v ith here has been at one time or another a captive

among rue Turcomans, tne majority

of them having been sold into slavery in Khiva and Bokhara, and released by the Russians. The price of human beings seems to have fallen very con

saderably since that time, Now, for an ordinary person bur 10 to 12 is

demanded as a ransom. Then, a slave fetched from 100 to 300. In 'fact, the wealthy Turcomans of the border have all enriched themselves by this man stealing business. There is at

present at Tchikisiara a Turcoman

who contracts largely for the food sup

ply of the Russian army, and who in

former years was.,. the leading man-

stealer of the Caspian littoral. It is said that, the number of liberated Persian captives sent back by the Russians from Khiva and Bokhara

amounts to forty thousand. I believe

that the hual result -of the present

Russian expedition against the Turcomans of Akhal Tekke will be fraught

with far-reaching consequences, both

for Central Asia and for the Persian

dominions advantageous to them,

certainly, from a commercial point of view. In other respects the future is seen in different, lights, according to the particular temperamen t an d ideas of individuals."

Apples and Peaches . Vlrgiuia City Enterprise. Mr. John Piper says the first box of apples of Pacific coasc production which

sreacnea wan uraucisco came in me

same year from the ranch of Lewis Allen and Mr. Mead, in the vicinity of Hortland, Oregon, the owners of the same having erossed the plains in 1846 and having brought fruit trees with them. Mr. Pioer purchased the first lot from the agent, Mr, King, for $2.50 per pound, and retailed i he same from SI to S4 and even $5 apiece. The next steamer,the Columbia, orougbt another box, for which Mr. Piper offered the same price, which was declined. He finally secured the lot for $1,124- each, aud sold them to two lads named Keating (now Jn the gunsmith business in Ban Fra ncisco ) f or SI . 37 h a pie jo, who in turn neddledheui out for 8 to $5 apiece. During the winter nf 1853 4 Mr. Piper an 1 Mr. Andrews, who Wf re then engaged in the hardware busmen on Davis street, ordered four or five thousand pounds of poles shipped from Nev York city to i3an Francisco by steamer, paying fifty cents a pound for freight. The apples were packed in sawdust in closed tin cans. Says our informant: Tfae apples whan first opened had a delicious flavor, but turned, black in half an hour afterward from : the effect of the heat during twenty days' voyage." The first lot of peaches which reached San Francisco, 1854, came from Mr. HHPs ranch, at Napa, and sdld iis high as $2.50 per dozen, retail. Cherries of Oregon growth were introduced tbe same. year. Mr. Piper puschased the first lot for $2 50 per pound. Puttiug the n in a clothes basket, he retailed them on the street at 25 cents apiece, and afterwards sold them, in his store for $5 per pound. Strawberries arrived 'rem Alamanda in lSol-S, and cost $4 per pound wholesale, and heaped up in French soup bowls, holding half a pound each, were retailed at $5 per bowl. Pears, which came in to .the market about the same time, retailed a t a h ih I ig a re. M r. Pi per remem bered getting $11 for a single pear. The first lot of cranes that ca.me from Los

The Steamship Great Eastern. Tbe Great Eastern has been chartered for ten years to carry dead meata to the United Kingdom from the American seaboard on the river Plata. It is calculated that from Texas or the Argentine Provinces beef of prime quality can be laid down in England at 3d per pound. The promoters of this bold scheme intend to slaughter the cattle on board the great ship as received from day to. -day, and for this purpose they have secured the services of trained butchers from the slaughterhouses of Chicago. The dressed meat will be stored in refrigerators, and it is estimated that 10,000 to 50,000 carcasses of beef, all hunc equal to 3,000 or 4,000 tons of meat will be shipped each voyage. The result of this enterprise, if successful, will have a far wider bearing than appears at first sight. It will be watched with much interest... by, the public, no doubt, for notwithstanding the large imports of fresh meats Wo are receiving, retail prices still rule very high. But it will also break down that "riug" which, while reaping immense profits, keeps almost at famine prices one of the first food requisites of the people.

INPOBTAWT OPINIONS.

By the Attorney General Concerning the Constitutional -Amendments. The . First Inoperative without Legislative Enactment. The Aissessnient and Tax. Certificates. - . . Attorney-general .Baldwin yesterday gave two opinions of more than ordinary importance. The first,regarding the constitutional 'amendments,- is given in full as follows: . ... 1. 4 Are the first, third and ninth constitutional amendments of March 18, 1881, now in force or do chey require further legislation ?" Amendment No, 1 reads as follows: "In all elections not otherwise provided for by this constitution, every male citizen of the United States of the age of twenty-one years aud upwards,

who shall have Jr&sided in the State during the six months, and in the township sixty days, and in. the ward orfprecinct thirty days immediately preceding such election, and every male of foreign .fourth of the age of

twenty-one years and upwards, who shall have resided in the United States one year, and shs.ll have resided in this -State for six mouths, and in the township sixty days,and in the ward or precinct thirty days immediately preceding such election, and shall have declared his intention to become a citizen of the United States, conformably to the laws of tbe United States on the subject of naturalization r shall be entitled to vote in the township or precinct where he may reside, if he snail have been duly r egistered accordinar to law." .. . . This amendment evidently requires further legislation to become completely operative. It should be supplemented by a registry law. Suppose that the Legislature fails to pass such a law. Can a citizen entitled to vote under this amendment be deprived of such right by the failure of the General Assembly to provide for his registration? I think not. The Legislature connot nullify or retard the operation of the organ ic law in such a case as this. If the Legislature provides an opportunity to register and the citizen entitled to vote by this amendment fails torfecister he loses his vote. I think the

meaning of the last clause, "xf he shall have been duly registered according to lav," is that he shall observe and obey such registry law as the Ge neral Assembly prescribes, and if such Assembly fails' to prescribe such law, then he is not in default, and if otherwise qualified can vote without a registry. ::- Amendment No. 3 reads: 'All general elections shall be held on the first Tuesday alter the first Monday, in November; but township elections may be held at such time as may be provided bylaw; provided, that the General Assembly, may provide by law for the election of all judges of courts of appellate jurisdiction, by an election to be held for ?.uch onicer3 only, at which, t ime no o ther officer shall be voted for : and shall also provide for the registration of ali persons entitled to vote." : All of this amendment that precedes ; the word provided is in force per se. I The general elections are changed by ; it from October to November. Unless the Legislature : provides otherwise at this session, the township elections take place this year as hereto fore. But with all of this amendment that follows tbe word provided the case is different. This part is simply a grant of power to the Legislature to provide that judicial elections shall be held separate aud independent of all other elections. The object of this is to separate judicial elections from the excitements accompanying partisan and poMtical strifes. I construe the clause, "and shall also provide for the registration of all persons entitled to ; vote," as a legislative duty to be promptly fulfilled. But I do not think its non-fulfillment can operate to the prejudice of the voter otherwise en titled to the franchise. Amendment No. 9 reads : "No political or municipal eorooratiion in this State shall ever become indebted, in any manner orfor any purpose, to any amount, in the aggregate exceeding

two per centum on the value of taxable property within such corporation, to be ascertained by the last assessment for State and county taxes previous to the incurring of such indebtness, and all bonds -or obligations in excess of such amount, given by such corporal tions, shall be void; provided, that in time of war, foreign invasions, or other great public calamity, on petition of a majority of the property owners, in number and value, within the Umite of such corporation, the public au thorities, in their discretion, may incut obligations necessary for the public protection and defense, to such an amount as may be requested in such petitions." V I think this amendment now in force, and needs no further legislation. Indeed., I no n!t see how any statute could add to its clearness or force Tf would only be legislative repetition 9; a constitutional inhibition. The second question you ask presents a far more difficult problem. Mitchell is an incorporated town in- townshin, aud is indebted to the full constitutional limit. But the township ib which Mitchel is situated has. uo debt, and it proposes to take stock in a,rail-

road.

ednessof the tovrn to be eaken nrmsiderfltion3?

Of course the town and township are separate and independent corporations. No property-holder outside of Mitciael can be called upon, except he has property within.. the town, to contribute to the payment of the town debt. On the other hand, tdl the property-holders of Mitchel can be oallU uror, to contribute to the propose J township railroad tax. That, however, could not make the alleged debt of Th townshio the debt of the town, iflw affect the separate existence or independence of the two corporations any more than tbe fact that the citizens of Mitchel vote in the township elections 0f township, in which Mil clue I is situated, affects the iudependeuce aud distinctness of the two elections, and otneers elected. Bo that regarding the proposed railroad aid as a detit, it is not the debt of the town of Mitcfoel, but of township, and there is nothing in the financial condition of the. .township that is affected by - ninth amendment. A good test fs: Can the town of Mitchel be sued for tbe ddbr? If h.t, it is not: the to wigs

But another question arises; Is ycUr -j

proposea ranroau aia a ueour I do not think it is. Tbe townshin does not propose to issue any boadij or use auy township credit in taking the. railroad stock. M hey propose to raise the ca?h, and then, upon the railroad being built through the township, to take stock. They have no power to do anything else. (See sec. 14, vol. 3, , K. S.,k page 894.) It not so built a property-holder of the township could enjoiti the payment of the money. This is net, in my judgment, a debt. It is cash down, and does not fall within the inhibition of the ninth amendment. SIU)l7r,I TAX CERTIFICATES BK Ai3S12SS.KD? ?
