Babies’ Rights. Judge Van Hoesen has decided that babies have some rights which the residents in apart ment houses are bound to respect. The court yesterday dissolved the temporary injunction restraining the father of a sick child from roll- ing a baby carriage over the floor of his rooms during the night, to the annoyance of the lodger in the floor below. The answer to the prayer fora permanent injunction was that | the infant occupant of the obdjectionable per- ambulator is suffering from teething and other ils that juvenile humanity is heir to; that it has an unconquerable aversion to a crib, and ut to zive ease to the little sufferer and pre- vent it from erying and fretting ail night long itis necessary to move it backward and for, ward in its liitle carriage, to the soothing mo- tion of which it has grown accustomed. The court decides that a man who lives in a hotel or flat cannot expect all the peace and | comfort he gets, or at least has a right | Gif he has no mother-in-law) to look for, } | in a house of which he is lord and mas: ter and sole eecupant. For instance, a hotel boarder must submit to being some times awakened by the heavy tread of other | guests who keep late hours and stumble on | their way up broad staireases and through | long passages, and an ap..rtment house lodger whose upper story ne.ghbor is compelled to ; Walk his room all night in pain cannot invoke | the power of the law to compel the sufferer to | | wear rubbers. So the baby carriage injun tion is dissolved. We congratulate the ad) Without indorsing its peculiar habits, which must be more annoying to its mother and nurse than to the downstairs lodger, we insist that its right to go to sleep in a baby carriage is incontrovertible. It is a free born American baby, and is entitled to the protection of the constitution and the laws. After abolishing negro servitude shall we deny the right of a white baby to be lulled to sleep in such man: ner as it may please? We trust not. In the name of the mothers, fathers and teething children of New York’ we congratulate Judge Van Hoesen on his decision, and wish the nocturnal perambulating infant, now that it is out of the clutches of the law, a good night's rest.—[N. ¥.

TRIAL OF STEAM ROAD WaGONS.—A year or two ago the Wisconsin legislature offered a prize of $10,000 for a perfect steam wagon for fen agricultural and hauling purposes, to able to stand such tests as a board of three commissioners should propose. Among other things, the Souvestiag machines were to make a 2W-mile trip along the coantey: roads of the ate, due north and soyth, haul a heavy wagon behind them, be ‘able to plow, run threshing machines, and perform other feats such as the ingenuity or wisdom of the com- mnissioners might suggest. The commission as duly appointed, and met at Green Bay, Wis. on the lsthinst. There were but two entries—the “Oshkosh,” by Schomer & Far- tand, of Oshkosh, and thé “Green Bay,” by Cowles Bros.. of East Green Bay. The latter machine met with several accidents, which detained it on the road, but the former made the trial trip Scoonding to the conditions named, traversing the distance between Fort Howard and Madison, 201 miles, in 33 hours secouds, or six hours less than the time re- quired by the specifications, which called for an average speed of five milesan hour. At various poiuts along the line, however, it at- tained a much greater speed, in one instance making 21 miles in 2 hours 10 minutes, pnd on | the Oshkosh race course doing a mile {n. 4:35. | At Fort Atkinson it was attached to a gang of of a twoacre field. The machine weighs 4.0) rounds; with water and coal for eight miles, 6,500 pounds, and hauled throughout a wagon weighing 1) pounds.

No clergyman con- ducted Miss Abby's funeral, as it was the belief of the sisters, as of their father before them, who resigned the ministry on that ac- count, that_no minister shoula intervene be- tween the individual and his God.

Afterward he served terms for bigamy and assaults. In his intervals of freedom he was a public singer, a clown in a circus, and a Methodist clergy-~ man. Inthe latter character he was success- ful as a revivalist, his sermons and singing being wonderfully effective with sinners. He was always able to get good pay in the form of collections.—{ Poughkeepsie Pres: AckOss PuRPOsES.—In the case of the Dick. son libel in the police court yesterday, the small boy who carried the note made it quite amusing for the audience and provoking to the usually placid peep end attorney.

Pioneer Press THE AUTOCKAT ¢ ES is nothing like being a bloated autocrat sanctum, while next door one he laboring man toiling at nine-pins in a bowling alley. The editor toils not, and nether does he spin, and yet Mrs. Jenks in all her glory is not arrayed like one of these. While all humanity is sweltering and swearing—and wondering where they car hang up the barkeeper for a lass of beer—the editor has nothing to do. } Two orthree columns of editorials to write, | and no pitch hot; two or three hundred of ex: ripts to read, 1ill one cannot tell English from Sauserit—this 1s mere bagatelle, when the thermometer is on the ragged edge of the nineties. As we said before, the editor heartily despises a man who works for a living, and listens with sardonie Satisfaction to the sound from the bowliny alley next door, where the poor man slaves an swears. It makes such a contrast to his lux- urious idleness. E A NEw Way TO STOP GAMELIN man of sense and probity admits th: bling is immoral ; but, like many other things admitted to be immoral, gambling goes oa almost unchecked. The ‘law is, indeed, alto- gether powerless to check gambling. That this is so_is shown by the effect of the law ac- cording to which gambling debts cannot be recovered at Common Law. Such debts have been made debis of honor, and mon who would thiu! le of defrauding an ordinary creditor niok Welle ing debts pot only iy full, ba some among tne gamioua community have been known rather to foR their employers than to delay the payment ol a debt of honor (save the mark)! Of course there are cases in which gambling debts are hot paid. It would be strange, indeed, if it were otherwise in such a company of fools and kpaves. But certainly the act $ and 9 Vict.,¢ 108, has had nothing to do with such shorteom ings. In fact, it alaw were passed by which every gambling debt were mw within three day a ment or flogging, weuld receive a severer check (though such & law would in reality countenance gambling) than from any law hitherto passed against betting or gaming.—{fichard A.
