This was not done by con-ent of the. company; on the contrary, it was forliidden. One day a voting boy while taking a ride in this maimer, and en- .1. ...,-... t:., .,,. .,.. ..(v .1. ........ i...r :. 1....1 quite Moppcd7 fell under the wheels and ' was killed.

The coinjiany owed him no duty - except to refrain from am willful injurv, etc. lamage-could not be claimed for an or dinary railroad ca-ualty by which he was hurt. A Kan-as woman put two little girls aboard a train of car- intending they should ride to Iowa Point. One of them wa- le-s than live years of age: the other older, but weak and sickly. They were not placed in any one's charge, nor was any nionev given them to pay fare. It was the cii-toni to allow mere children traveling with adult- to ride free. When the train reached Iowa Point it .Mopped long enough for pa-sengcr-to leave. The little girls, how ever, seem not to have known, until too late, that the stopping place was Iowa Point; at any rate they did not reach the car platform to quit the car until the train wa-ju-t Marting. However, they tried to aught. A passenger tried to -- r; 1 r help them. The elder one succeeded; 1 ill 1 me younger one, mii-11 ncr icei 1 touched the platform of the station, fell forward ami she rolled to the ground between that platform and the car. If, now. she had lain perfectly still she would not have been hurt; but she had not presence of mind for this, and her M niggles brought her feet upon the track and they were badly cni-hed. Meantime the conductor had no inform ation that the childn'ii were to leave the train at Iowa Point, or that they were traveling by themselves. Anil when the accident happened it was aggravated by the pa. eiigers giving contradictory signals to the engineer. The Court held that the company was not chargeable with any negligence which could render it liable. It was bound to eany the child safely to Iowa Point; but this was done. The com panv was not bound to know that the child wished to alight at Iowa Point un less that wish was manifested by giving notice to the conductor beforehand or going forwanl to alight when tlie train .Mopped. It was the tardiness of the children, and not any fault of the train men, which delayed their getting off un til the train was dangerously in motion. Nor were the employes bound to know- that the children were traveling without a guardian: they had a right tosiippo-e wiai 1 ne passenger wiiom incy savv as sisting the little girls to alight was a person in whose charge they were. The company was not in fault because a good-matured passenger tried to help the children off, nor because hasty and excited passengers confused the "engi neer by injudicious signals. The affair was an accident which could not have been anticijuited. A railroad company cannot be made responsible for an un foreseen accident occurring in the right ful operation of the road; its liability must always be founded on a wrong, a neglect. A grown woman in Pennsylvania sus tained a singular injury The train was stationary in alighting. The woman was assisted by her husband. On step ping downward from the lowest step of the car she advanced her left foot fore most to the ground, keeping her right foot on the step. While she held that position, and without any apparent" cause, her right knee-cap snapped and was fractured. There -was no slipping or stumbling, no blow or force of any kind. She brought suit, ascribing the casualty to strain, attributable to tlie step beiug extravagantly high from the &$" ground. PTOUnd.

Hut in a ease like this negligence mu-t be af lirmatively jiroved. There was no ground for presuming it. The ear were at a stand-till: there wa. no jar or breaking of machinery: the ladv was, alighting without any interference from I the company: and. if the -lep appeared too I:rli. she might have demanded bet ter facilities. A car on the Northern Pacific Road left the t nick, and, as it wa- bouncing along, one of the pa cnger- endeavored to save himself by ru-hing to the plat form and jumping off. lb was badly hurt. but. a- the n ult proel. he would probabh have been -afe if he hail remained in the car.

AVi7 rotnl diizitU. A New Mormon Temple in the Wilder ne. The construction of the (I rand Temple of Wor-hip now being erected by the Mormon Church at Manti. I'tah. is be ing pushed ahead with as large a force of workmen as convenience will permit, and the walls of the building are begin ning to loom up and are covered with scaffolding and derricks. We learn from Mr. I). Wilken, who has just returned from a trip out in the Manti country. tli-il tlu fenmle 1-. lienor eotl-t riieteii ot , - w bite lime-tone. The building is -it u- 1 aieu oil 101) 01 a iiioiiniaiu. a spur 01 die Wasatch range, that extends out into the town of Manti. and is called bv the peo ple of Utah the Mountain of the Lord. The foundation of the temple is sixty three feet above the level of the road, and is -ct in solid rock: the top of the mountain having been excavated and removed, making it level, is ninety-live feet in width and 17i in length, l'roin the ground to the square will be eighty two feet in height. Then' will be two towers erected, qjje at the east and the other at the west corner of the building. The tower at the east corner will be 17H feet in height, while that of the west corner will be ten feet lower, or ld'.i feet in height. They are thirty feet square at the base. There are four terrace wall around the mountain in front of tin temple, which w ill average about seven teen feet in height and are about IHh) fe't in length, ami in all contain about 2, 41 0 cord- of rock as at present built, and o.".tM)0 yards of debris has been ex cavated and hauled away. The stair way from the road to the upper terrace is sixty-three feet, and will contain WV1 stone steps, sixteen feet in width. In back of the terrace will be tilled with riih soil, to the top of the -tone-vvoik. and trees and shrubbery planted, and the tops of the terraces are to be orni mentcd bv neatlv-dressed and cut stop and statues will be placed at xario't and appropriate places. The water V supply the temple will be brought "11 wooden pipes from a spring situatid about a mile and a quarter ea-t of tl e temple, back in the mountain-, ar.l has a fall of seventy feet totherese xoir, and one hundred feet from tie reservoir to the lower terrace. Tho whole side of the mountain i-to le planted with trees and tlowcrs. and tre crystal stream poured forth b the little spring, as it winds it way down th? side of the mountain, will "travel from root to root, quenching their thirM. thus assisting the trees to produce their foliage in spring, the flowers to bloom and the gra-s to grow. The building of the temple was flr-t commenced live years :igo. and has been worked on ever since, and it is expected that it will Ie in such condition in about three years that it can be used, but it is estimated that it will take fully live years to com plete the building. The building will be fifty feet in height, and the excava tion at the east end for the basement is about forty-six feet in depth. Mr. Folsom is the areluteet, and as to his skill and ability as the Manti Temple will speak for years after he has passed from the face of the earth. It was President Young's inten tion when he ordered the erection of th tenipla'lliat it shouliL be the grandest and most imposing stnieture" ereefeCo" the American Continent, and all indica tions point to such being the caso. P ochc (Xeu.J Accord. IfoiT to Care for the Sick. Some time since we felt moved to make Hune suggestion on the importance of endeavoring to educate our daughters in the mo-t important parts of skillful nur-ing. It is a subject wc have much at heart, for we so frequently see how many suffer needle-sly for lack of knowl on the part of those .vho have charge of the -ick. To be Mire, many have not the comfortable appliances that eem tlmost indispensable in the -ick room. In small, cramped apartments it is im po ible to do quietly, or entirely out of the MVk-room, much that the invalid ought not to see or hear. In such ca-i's. patience, endurance on the part of the -ick and -kill on the part of the niir-c. to keep all preparations as far a- po ible out of sight, are all that can be done. Rut in comfortable homes, with the Hck-room at a diMance from the kitch en, there is no excu-e for ninny things that arc very annoying. We have known niir-cs to put "a sauce-pan over the grate in the sick-room to make or warm over what they intended to be choice dainties for their patient. Rut nothing should be ever wanned up. much 1c cooked, in the room of the invalid. The sight or -mell of the mo-t d-licatc di-h will be wearisome to the exhau-ted nerve-, and when made i- re-pul-ivc to the weakened -tomach. Make -mall m Rett.r the pa tient -hould crave a -poouful more than revolt at the abundance. Prepare it farawav from the lick room, without a word of coii-ultaMon with anv one ex cept the phy-ician. and bring it the mo ment it i- done. Don't linger till it ools or grows Male and in-ipid, and the little that K brought -hould be prepared in theneate-t, 1110-t attractive manner. Select the daintie-t china and -iher, ami if po ible bring with it a tinv vae with one choice, ro llovvcr who-e fragrance will not ! too pungent: -jm-ad a pretty, while, glo ilv mooth nnpbin over the small waiter; have the ghiss like en Mai ami the silver bright a-aravfroni the sun. .Anything to be taken hot should be a. Hot as poible. Anv thing needed cold should be like ice. No high sea-oning -hould be given to an invalid: but what 1-allowed -liouhl be the choiec-t and mingled like Kve- repa-t for the angel in Kden. Remem ber that -alt. pepper or -"g:"" ean be ea-ih added, but if too much i- 11-ed it cannot be leinedied and the food be ac ceptable. A vcrv small proportion of the siek care for sweet things; broth and well-seasoned meat, when allowed, fruit and acid jellies are u-uallv more -ought after. While endeavoring to surprise the patient with something that one feels sure will be relished, if the sick turn from it, not yet able to relish it. be pa tient. Do nut urge or expo-tulate. Re move the di-h, and when out of sight reflect if you have not taken in too large a quantity. If our judgment a cuts, try something ci-e in a very small quan tity, and an hour or two after prepare the same thing that was before rejected, but only a spoonful or two, offer it with out comment, and in nine ca-cs out of ten, if really daintily prepared and pre-cnted, it will be taken vviiha good relish. Of one thing, a nurse, or one who has anv thing to do with the care of an in valid, cannot be too caution-. In pre paring broth, beef tea-, or -mips, let no mote of fat be -ecu limiting on the sur face. Nothing is so repulsive as those cr.N of fat on the top of a cup of broth or soup. If well-made, few articles con tinue mi long to be acceptable as good beef tea: only be cautious not to give it too constantly, le-t it grow wearisome. Wc have -ecu but few who make beef tea in the way we imagine be-t secures the whole of the juice of the meat, with out any addition of water. We will give a rule that is not troublesome to follow, and. once tried, we think will be more generally u-cd. If near a butch er, get him to chop a pound of lean beef vcrv line (if you preler, chop it at home), take a thoroughlv-eleaiied gla-s ; I or stent' jar. put the beef thus chopped into it without any water. Screw down the cover and set in a kettle of cold water. We have always screwed the cover almost as tight as for pre.-erves, or put in a large cork quite iirnih. and never had one cracked or broken. The water should not reach the top of the jar, even when boiling. Some et a brick or some other weight 011 top to keep the jar from tipping over; but if broad at the bottom the weight of the meat will prevent that. Let it heat vcrv slowly till it comes to a quiet boil. Keep it in that state full six hours. That 1 ; is the best; but if in lia-te it can he made quite good in one hour. When poible. beef tea should be made the day before using. Set the kettle off the stove, when done, into a cool place, and let jar and contents become perfectly cold before taking it out. When open ed, turn into a bowl, let it stand a short time to settle, and see if any particle of fat ri-cs to the top. If so, remove with great care. Squeeze the meat hard, a little at a time, through a lemon-squeezer, to secure all the juice. Then salt and pepper if allowed heat quickly in a very clean sauce-pan. strain through a e'ean cloth, and give to the patient either very hot or icy cold, as best rel ished. We clo-e now. lest we become tedious. But we have suffered so much from poor nursing, and been at other time- so comfortable and happy by the be-t of care, that we greatly desire mothers should -ee the great importance of hav ing their daughters know how to take good care of thoe who are sick and suffering. Mrs. Henry Ward Ikcclicr. in Christian 1'nwn. A Remarkable Wound. An instance of singular tolerance of a severe wound of the brain was recently communicated by M. Dubrisay to the Societie de Medicine de Paris. A man. aged forty-four, in an attempt at suicide, sent a small dagger through his-kull in to the brain. The weapon was ten cen timeters long and one wide. He had held the dagger in his left hand and giv en it with his right several blows with the mallet, believing that he would fall dead at the first blow. To his profound surprise he felt no pain and obsenvd no particular phenomenon. He stnick the dagger in all about a dozen times. The man was a dnmkard. but was sober at the moment of the attempt. When seen about two hours later the handle of the dagger was projecting from the skull at the junction of thepo-terior. and middle third, a little to the right of the middle line, and in a transverse position. The whole blade was iinlnntded, except a part one centimeter in length. For half an hour unsuccessful attempts were made to get the dagger out. Tlie pa tient was placed on tlie ground, two vig orous persons fixed his shoulders, and aided by a strong pair of carpenters" pincers repeated attempts were made, but without success. The patient and assistants were raised off the ground, but the dagger was immovable. These attempts caused no pain. More power ful mechanical instniments were then employed. The patient, who walked well, and complained of no headache, xvas taken to a coppersmith's, and by strong pincers, the handle of the dagger was fastened to a chain which was passed over a cylinder turned by steam power. The pincers, used for drawing out tubes of copper, were so made that the more thev were pulled the tighter they grasped. The man was then fas tened to rings fixed in the ground, and the cylinder xvas gently setTin motiou. At the second turn the dagger came out The blade measured ten centime ters in length, of -which nine had entered the interior of the skull. The patient, who had submitted with tjig greatest coolness to thee manfcuvers, suffered no pain or inconvenience- Some drops of blood escaped, and in a few minutes nfierwanl the man vv.ablo to walk, away to a hospital, where he remained in bed for ten davs. but without fever or pain. He then" returned to hi- work, and the wound gradually healed. M. Dubrisay endeavored by a poM. mortem experiment to a-eertain "what parts of the brain had been injured. He drove tho dagger into thc'lu-ad ofia cadaver in tho same situation, and to the same depth, ami found that, without injuring the superior longitudinal -inn-, it had pa ed into the cerebral -ub-tance ju-t behind the a-cending parietal convolu tion, and thus behind the motor .one; the point had not reached theba-e. The. difficulty in extraction had been duo solelv to the fixation of the instrument bv the edge? of the wound in the bone. London Lancet. Told by a Horse Trader. I was tradin with a fellow one dav," the win man with the keen eves remarked, "and a young fellow he lipped in and spoiled the trade. He wanted the ho I was tradin' him-elf. So I traded with him.

GokI old Judge Krazier. of the Dav id -on and Rutherford Circuit, was presiding; au unlucky negro was the pri-oner; a very young lawyer was de fending him: twelve gim.1 men and true were in the box. There was no doubt that the prisoner had stolen the melon: the proof against him was as clear as noonday. The attorney called no wit nesses whatever, but simply arose and said: "May it plea-e your Honor and gentlemen of the jury, my client is charged with stealing a watermelon. He does not deny it. Put this is a new crime for our courts. I have Mclen watermel ons myself: the chance- are that your Honor has stolen watermelon-: and. gen tlemen. I'll agree to set em yp if then is a man on that jun who hasn't stolen a watermelon!" The Judge jerked up his head, took off his -p.ctacles. and looked with a startled but -miling stare upon the young scamp: the jurors nudged each other and -nickered, the spectator! guffawed: but it is needless to say that the brief argument for the defendant va a successful one with the honest jury men.
