This is an action for | $20,000 damages by reason of a bank caving in on him while at work for defendant in the county, near the Soldier’s Home, by which the plaintiff was badly injured and incapacitated for labor. The suit was brought in 15/9, and a verdict for plaintiff for $1,000 was rendered, but subsequently set aside. On a second trial the verdict was for 23.000, The case then went to the Supreme Court and was reversed and re- manded. | A Home-Made Fernery. From the Home Maker. We put in, first, a layer, an inch deep, of coarsely pounded charcoal. This was covered with potsherds—common red-clay flower pots, broken into bits, Over this we spread 3 inches of leaf-mold, brought from the woods. On the top of the mellow earth we lay mosses, | also procured in our forest rambles, In the velvet pile of this carpet we stuck abundance of partridge vines, full of red beads that lasted all winter. Here and there was a clump of gray-eyed lichen fast to a bit of bark. The month was October, and we dug up fringed gentians in flower and in bud, dwarf ferns, including maiden hair. and a fine root of pitcher plant. Scraping aside the pine needles where we had found arbutus last spring, lighted upon a cluster of leaves, spotted with brown, and jagged as if squirrels had gnawed | them. We uprooted the plants carefully and | transferred them to the corner formerly occu- | pied by the leprons colony of fish. Other roots | went in—woolly-leaved incognitas, with a baby | pine and a streamer of wild lycopodium. From | the garden we selected a stocky begonia for | the central figure of the parterre; ribbon-grass, English ivy and tradescantia (“*Wandering Jew”), a variety with silvery-streaked leaves, Deep in the soil we buried half a dozen hya- cinth bulbs, with a mass of violet roots and a dozen crocuses. Ronpertes Rerontep.—Dr. Keech, No. 424 East Capitol street, reports stolen from bh house a quantity of clothing and two table- cloths.—John O'Malley reports the larceny of some plasterers’ tools. ———___ Toox THE Wrpxo Coat.—Nicholas Pastarfor, an Italian harpist, was before the Police Court to-day charged with stealing an overcoat from the house of Annie Conners, corner of 1354 and C streets, The coat belonged to Benjxmin Braham, who left his coat on the rack in the hall when he went to another part of the house. Pastarfor left the house at an early hour in the morning, and when he went out he took Bra- ham's coat, thinking, he says, it was his own, as he was under the influence of liquor at the time. He made no attempt to conceal the coat. and was arrested before he had time to return it. He was acquitted. Misrtacep Symraray Leaps Cart, Ronart | into Trovsie.—Henry Robart, captain of one of the Philadelphia and Reading coal barges which is now here with a cargo of coal, was in the dock of the Police Court this morning charged with disorderly conduct. Robart. who it is alleged was under the influence of liquor, was on a street car yesterday afternoon coming cround Washington circle, when his at- tention was directed to a crowd, in the center of which was a Chinaman, who, as usual, was the victim of bad boys, and was attempting to defend his person and property. Robart says some one tola him that the Chinaman had cut aboy.

Absolute liberty, in the relation of men and women, is im deed the ideal; a limited ideal is as ridiculous a8 a limited belief in the axioms of f But we can go to the utmost length of the principle, as a principle, without in the least ignoring the fact that the state cannot fully carry out principles purely abstract, because the material in which it has to work is, to say the least of it, imperfect. The state, in registering and enforcing contracts between. men and women, must make the stipulation that they use the word marriage in the national sense; that is, as a lifelong union, provided the terms of the contract are kept faithfully. Ina still distant condition of society it is robable that unions may exist outside the jaw, but inside society, men and women only for the real bond between them, treating as of quite minor impSrtance the arti- ficial or legal tie.

The tendency will be gradually to sub- stitute internal for external law; the of liberty for the worship of self; social senti- ment for anti-social license.

DETAILS OF THE BATTLE aT LITTLE CHOPTANE, The Maryland oyster navy has again re ceived a crushing defeat, but in the fight seve eral of the dredgers were shot, and one of them, G. Castis, employed on the schooner Thomas B. Schall, was fatally wounded. He was taken to Baltimore and placed ina hospi- tal yesterday morning. The story of the is that the police sloop Goreme ety tacked fifteen sloops and pungies, who were dredging on the forbidden bars of Little Chop- tank. ‘Ibe dredgers fired back, but the police sloop drew nearer, and 2 volley fired at close range sent a large-sized bullet through the box and also through Castis’ body. He was carried below, but the battle continued to rage fiercely, and bullets from the dredgers’ boats cut into the side of the police sloop and. her rigging. After about two hours and a of tiguting. the dredgers began to close in om the sloop, and fearmg the consequences, the latter turned and ted, followed by & volley and derisive shouts from the law- breakers. The latter then returned to their work, at the same time keeping a sharp look out for the navy, Several of the oa ceived bullets in their arms or legs. scarlet dbus wal How Pullman Lost His Vote.
