Wild Land xtntl Slay E.uml.
In years past it has bceu the pre
vailing custom for persons requiring
hay to cut on almost any piece of
laud regardless of ownership. There
has been such large tracts of wild
and uncultivated laud that thus far
the custom has been the means of
workiug little or no injustice. Now,
however, that putting up hay has
developed into a business of no
small magnitude aud the further
fact that the country has rapidly ad
ded to its live slock iutcresls, the
hay question has become one of
considerable importance. Tho Su
preme Court in a case carried up
from Dodge county held substan
tially that stock rould graze with
impunity upon wild aud uncultiva
ted lands. No matter that the own
er may have required the land for
the use of his own cattle, so long as
the land was wild aud uncultivated
he bad no protection under the law.
It would appear from this that if a
man would be protected iu grazing
his cattle upon another's land, he
would also be protected in cutting
the grass and converting it to his
own use. This decision has bceu
severely criticised and we might
add, ridiculed, by eminent members
of tho Nebraska bar. It certainly
does appear unjust that a man eho'd
be deprived of his property, simply
becauso that property is the product
of wild and uncultivated land. A
grove of trees may be the product of
uncultivated land, yet no one would
argue the right of another to fell the
trees aud convert them to his own
use. And yet, in fact, thero is no
difference whatever, except iu the
value of the product. Perhaps a
mau desires to keep his laud uncul
tivated, its product iu that state
being more valuable to him than in
auy other and yet by this decision of
the Supreme Court, he has no pro
tection. The last legislal ure to meet
this decision passed h law which
reads as follows:
Cultivated lands within the mpan
ingofthis act shall iucludcall forest
trees, fruit trees aud hedge rows
planted on said laud, aluo all land
surrounded by a plowed strip not
less thau one rod in width, which
strip shall be plowed once a year.
This is somewhat of an improve
ment, but yet not enough to do
exact justice. It saves to the farmer
the ditl'orence between plowing the
required strip of laud each year aud
enclosing the land with a fence.
Now the law protects the cultivated
laud proper and other land that
comes within the meaning of the
law. No fences are required. What
is there in reason or common sense
that will justify the protection of a
tract of land with a narrow strip
plowed arouud it and oue without?
What is that strip for? It isn't re
quired to convince others that the
land does not belong to them, and
it is of no value as an enclosure. On
the presumption that grazing cuttle
aud cutting hay on unothcr's laud
would be viewed alike under the
law, there are several interesting
questious which arise. A piece ot
land is unprotected by any plowed
strip. A. commences cutting hay
aud is warned by II. to desist, ex
hibiting a bill of sale for the hay
product of the land for that year
from C, the owner. Now under the
law aud in view of the decision ot
the Supremo Court, could A. be pre
vented from cutting and if he per
sisted could he be punished ? B. has
paid for the hay product aud has
neither the hay nor money ; C. re
fuses to refund, what recourse has
B? Again, suppose that A. cuts
ou B's. laud which is unprotected
aB provided by law. After the hay
is cut and stacked U. plows the re
quired strip, who does the hay be
long Jo? Can A. take the hay
without committing trespass ? There
are a great many of these perplex
ing questions which will arise in the
next few years as the tracts of graz
ing lands are narrowed down and
even now aro well worth thiukiii"

The following is from the Albany
Law Journal. If a professional pa
per condemns these practices, is
there auy wouder that the general
public have so much to say ? The
subject is well worthy the attention
of the profession :
The rock that the legal profession
are in most danger of coming to
wreck on is that of excessive charg
es. There is a continual low growl
ing iu the community on this sub
ject The following, in an English
lay newspaper, does nfft exaggerate
the matter: "There arc certain well
known firms of solicitors who can
never be got to render a statement ;
they arc perpetually applying for
checks on account, and generally
have the faculty of asking for these
at some critical time in the proced
ure, when they know that the liti
gant cannot help paying, in order
that his case may go on. Other
solicitors punish the inquisitiveuess
of nny who may wish for a detailed
bill of costs by making it out to an
extent vastly in excess of the round
sum originally demanded." It is
notorious that the charges are alto
gether out of proportion to the time
giveu, the work given or tho con
sideration received, and all kind of
vexatious obstacles are thrown in
the way of any who Beck to effect a
reform iu this respect. The fact is,
that the ranks of the legal profes
sion are overcrowded, and aro beiug
added to year by year to an extent
which the public interests by no
means require. Vet the exclusi ve
noms that obtains with regard to
methods of procedure, and the strin
gent rules imposed upou all the
membi rs of the craft, prevent that
wholesome competition which ex
ists iu all other trades. The conse
quence is that the public arc robbed,
and that a comparative few of the
members of the legal profession ob
tain for themselves the chief portion
of the spoil, while the great bulk of
them struggle on as best they can.
Our legal exchanges are filled with
discussions on lawyers' costs. The
community arc bound to have cheap
er justice if they can.
How u Story row.
A farmer was once told that his
turnip field had been robbed, and
that the robbery had been committed
by a poor, inoffensive man, of the
name of Palmer, who, inatiy of the
people of the village said, had taken
away a wagon load of turnips.
Farmer Brown, much exasperated
by the loss of his turnips, determin
ed to prosecute poor Palmer with
all the severity of the law. With
this intentiou he went to Molly
Saudcis, the washerwoman, who had
been busy iu spreading the report,
to know the whole truth ; but Molly
deuied ever having said anything
about a wagon load of turnips. It
was'but a cart load that Palmer had
taken, and Dame Ilodsou, the huck
ster, had told her so, over and over
again. The farmer, hearing this,
went to Dame Ilodsou, who said
that Molly Sanders was always
making things worse than they really
were; that Palmer had taken only a
wheelbarrow full of turnips, aud that
she had her account from Jenkins,
the tailor, who stoutly denied the
account altogether; he had only told
Dame ITodson that Palmer had pull
ed up several turnips, but how many
he could uot tell, as he did not see,
himself, but was told by Tom Slack,
tho nlowMiau. Wonderiug where
this would end, farmer Brown next
questioned Tom Slack, who, in his
turn said that he never said a word
about seeing Palmer pull up several
turnips; he only said that he had
heard say that Palmer had pulled up
a turnip, and that Barnes, the bar
ber, was the person who had told
him about it. The farmer, almost
out of patience at this account, hur
ried otl' to Barnes, the barber, who
wondered much that people should
find pleasure in spreading idle tales
which had no truth in them. lie
assured the farmer all he had said
about the matter, while he took off'
the beard of Tom Slack, was that
for all he know, Palmer was as
likely a man to pull up a turnip as
his neighbors.
There is one patient worker who
does not expect and is not expected
to "lake a vacation." The house
mother's needs are forgotteu. It has
often been pointed out how to the
men comes a change of scene iu
going out to business, how they get
at least an hour or more of fresh air
every day, and lubricate the ma
chinery of life by contact with ac
quaintances and friends; while the
women suffer from the very quiet
of their home lite, uot to mention
the never-weaving anxiety, cares
and labors. The wife-mother should
be gently forced out of the home
ruts. Just because she thinks she
doesn't want to go is no sign that
she does not need to go. A tread
mill is one of the hardest things to
get out of gear, and tho patient
plodder therein at last comes to
think that there is no other round
for her in the world. Therefore,
husbands, sons and daughters, take
our admonition, and help mother
oil". Enter into an amiable con
spiracy to convince her that she can
go. Persuade her that home is not
the best place to travel in, nor the
best place for some kinds of rest.
And don't wait too long, nor mis
take resignatiou for contentment.

Tho following is the latest parody
on "Mary had a little lamb:"
Mollie had a little ram, fleece black
as rubber shoe, aud everywhere that
Mollie went, he emigrated to. lie
went with her to church one day
the folks hi-larious grew to see him
walk demurely into Deacon Allen's
pew. The worthy deacon quickly
let his angry passion rise, aud gave
it an unchristian kick between tho
sad brown eyes. This lauded rammy
in the aisle; the deacon followed
fast, and raised his foot again, but
ah ! that first kick was his last ! For
Mr. Sheep walked slowly back about
a rod, 'tis said, and cro the deacon
could retreat, it stood him on his
head. Tne congregation then arose
and went for that ere sheep, but
several well directed butts just piled
them in a heap. Theu rushed they
straightway for the door with curses
long and loud, while rammy struck
the hindmost man and shot him
through the crowd.

A Loudon cablegram thus tells
the story of the origin and progress
of the agrarian riots at Clonmel :
When G ddard, agent of the emer
gency commission, was leaving court,
he was received with groans aud
hisses. A priest was passing out of
the building when the crowd made
a rush to enter. A policeman in the
confusion laid his hand upou the
priest. The alarm at once went up,
''Father Mahara has been arrested."
The crowd became terribly excited,
aud the authorities at once concen
trated the whole force of the military
and constabulary before the court
.house. Bottles, stones and brick
bats poured in on the police and
soldiers. Capt. Slack, resident mag
istrate, threatened to read the riot
act, aud at that moment a policeman
was knocked seuseless at his side
with a stone. Several priests at
once rushed to the magistrate and
implored him not to read it, as if he
did the consequences would be ter
rible. The stone-throwing did not
cease, aud as the captain, after read
ing the riot act, prouounced the
words, "God save the Queen," a
stone smashed the skull of another
policeman standing behind him, and
the unfortunate mau died to-day.
The police charged on the citizens
with fixed bayonets, and at the same
time the cavalry clashed into the
crowd. A scene of frightful confu
sion followed. The charge of the
cavalry down the short street was
so impetuous that several horses aud
riders dashed through shop win
dows at the end of the street. The
air was filled with stones and bricks,
and the frightened shopkeepers who
were endeavoring o put up their
shutters were hurled to the ground
and ridden over. Several hussars
were unhorsed by the crowd and
tramped on by tho horses of their
comrades behind them. The charge
through the streets lasted fully half
an hour. A portion of the crowd
tied, while others tired on the charg
ing horsemen, and battered in their
helmets with stones. The hussars
used the flat of their swords freely,
the point and edge being strictly
forbidden. One hussar iu charging
around a corner met with a serious
mishap. His horse stumbled and
fell. Five or six of his comrades,
following swiftly ovor the prostrate
horse aud rider. Before the men
could recover themselves, their hor
ses had galloped up the street, aud
the men had to defend themselves
from the mob until they were res
cued. Owing to the exertions of
the priests, several of whom receiv
ed many hard knocks, the people
were induced finally to disperse. A
soldier of the Fourth regiment wa
so seriously injured that his life is
despaired of. The doctor states that
the man, if he recovers, will be in
sane. About thirty citizens were
seriously wounded.
A I-mly Iuwyer' ICetort.
Judge Tyler, of San Francisco, is
well known to the bar of that city as
a most formidable opponent, both
foreusically and physically, as many
a "learned counsel" upou tho other
side has found out to his sorrow.
The Judge, who is so used to
dominating his brethreu of the bar,
recently met his match in the lady
lawyer of San Francisco, Clara S.
Foltz, who clipped his wind in a
manuer that well-nigh suffocated
him. The story is too good to be
lost.
The case of Tylor vs. The Ilibcr
nia Savings Bauk was pcudiug be
fore one of the city courts, involving
the right to a certain deposit of
funds in said bank. Tyler was his
own attorney, and Mrs. Foltz was
attorney for the bank. It seems that
Tyler, by a little bit of sharp prac
tice, was trying to ring in a "cold
deck" in the shape of a default that
had been erroneously dated, the ad
mission of which by the'Judge upon
the bench would have sent the de
fendant out of Court. Mrs. Foltz
showed up the matter satisfactorily
to the Court and the default was
promptly set aside. This nettled
Judge Tyler considerably, and turn
ing to the lady counsel ho said
sharply, in a mauner intended to be
intensely Impressive, that "counsel
had better be engaged in other busi
ness," that "a woman's place was at
home raising her children."
The words were scarcely uttered
before Mrs. Foltz rose in her queen
ly way, and, flashing her blue eyes
straight into the Judge's florid face,
she quietly remarked : "A woman
had better be engaged in almost auy
business thau in raising such men as
you are, sir."
The Court commauded order, but
in a tone that seemed to appreciate
the justice of tho retort, while a
number of lawyers in court, some of
whose heads Judge Tyler has held
in "chancery" on former occasions,
came uear exploding with suppress
ed laughter.
The counsel turned white with
anger and groaned in spirit, but
concluded that it was better to drop
tho subject theu and there. San

the absorbing topic :
Nine-tenths of those who are now

for all that is out, would about-face
all at once, should Garfield die or
resigu, and Vice-President Arthur
