We have been requested by several
persons interested to give the present
status of the law in regard to pro
tection of grazing and bay lands from
trespass, and, as there have been some
important rulings on the subject we
comply with the request, in as brief
space as we can,- premising that we
have before given the same in a dif
ferent shape.
Before the regular session of the
legislature in '81, Sec. 1, Art. 3, of
the statute on agriculture stood:
"That the owners of cattle, horses,
mules, swine and sheep in this Btate,
shall hereafter be liable for all dam
age done by such stock upon the
cultivated lands in this state as herein
provided by this act."
Sec. 8 of the same article provided,
"That cnltivated lands, within the
meauing of this act, shall include all
forest trees, fruit trees and hedge
rows planted on said lands."
While this was the statute, a case
was carried to the supreme court from
Dodge county, and a lengthy opinion
on the same is recorded in volume 10
of the Nebraska Reports. The
court there say : "action in the nature
of trespass for damage committed by
the cattle and sheep of defendant, by
pasturing on the uninclosed, unculti
vated, wild prairie land of which
plaintiff was lessee of the owner.
Held, that such action could not be
maintained."
This was the situation of matters
when the legislature convened, and
they saw proper, upon reading the
decision of the court (the subject hav
ing been discussed in the newspapers
of the state) to add to the definition of
"cultivated lands" in section 8, as quo
ted above, "also all lands surrounded
by a plowed strip, not less than one
rod in width, which strip shall be
plowed at least once a year." This
took effect June 1,1881.
Some time before Nov. 12, 81, a re
hearing of the Dodge county case was
had in the supreme court, on
which the court held, vol. 11:
"while the owner of domestic animals
may lawfully permit them to wander
upon and depasture the uninclosed,
uncultivated lands of others, he has
no right to drive them there without
the owner's permission, and if he do
so he is answerable for whatever dam
age they may do while there."
Judge Lake who rendered tho de
cision, remarks: "While it is true
that Delaney would not have been
answerable for indirect intrusions of
his animals upon the land in question,
he was not at liberty to drive, or have
them driven and kept there, against
the wish of Errickson
We know of no law requiring as a
condition to one's right to the exclu
sive enjoyment of his own estate aB
against the willful, injurious acts of
others, that he shall keep it inclosed
by a fence."
The deductions to be drawn are
that when the owner or lessee of land
wishes it to be classified as "cultiva
ted," he can inclose it by a plowed
strip. If he does not wish his pasture
or hay land to be used by others, he
can warn them off.
The other night more guns were
mounted on the forts of Alexandria.
Admiral Leymore sent a message to
the governor of the city to discontinue
mounting guns, if not, a second would
be sent that would not be disregard
ed ; that the forts would be bombard
ed. The English and French admirals
have asked their governments to au
thorize the bombardment of the forts
unless the defensive works are stop
ped. Tho naval forces of France are be
ing mobolized. Ten French men-of-war,
including six iron-clads, have
been commissioned for instant service.

ny has gone to Ems to present to

tingent of 12,000 troops has been or

Ministerial council was held at
Alexandria. The English and French
controllers were invited to attend,
but refused. The consuls were grant
ed audience by the khedive, who pro
tested that no preparations were
being made to block the entrance to
the harbor of Alexandria, and the
ministers wrote to admiral Seymour,
commandant of the English squadron,
a note denying the reports to that
effect
The President has made the follow
ing nominations: Joseph A. West,
commissioner of the District of Co
lumbia ; Lewis Wallace, Indiana, min
ister to Turkey; Henry C. Hall,
minister to the Central American
states ; John M. Francis, New York,
consul-general to Portugal; J. P.
Wickersham, Pa., consul-general to
Denmark ; M. J. Cramer, Ky., minis
ter to Switzerland ; James R. Weaver,
W. Va., secretary of legation to Vi
enna ; Lewis Richards, R. I., secretary
of legation at Rome ; J. T. Robinson,
Tenn., consul to Beirut; W. M.
Spaulding, Minn., receiver of public
moneys at Duluth ; J. R. Carry.Minn.,
register of the land office at Duluth ;
Wm. A. Swain, Pa., Indian agent
Cheyenne agency and F. M. Darby
assistant treasurer of the United
States at Baltimore.
Simply because the name of Senator
Burns of this city has been, and is,
spoken of in connection with congres
sional honors from this district, not a
few have conceived the idea that he
has abandoned his intention of mak
ing a run for state treasurer. We have
not been authorized to state that this
impression is erroneous, but we know
from Mr. Burns personally that he ex
pects to do what he can to secure the
nomination for treasurer, but has not
nor will not do anything in the mat
ter of securing a candidacy for con
gress. Fremont Tribune.
In 1849, Carlyle wrote "Ireland
really is my problem the breaking
point of the huge suppuration which
all British and all European society
now is. Set down in Ireland.one might
at least feel : 'Here is thy problem.- In
God's name what wilt thou do with
it?'" Six months later, be wrote in
his diary : "Went to Ireland as fore
shadowed in last entry; wandered
about there all through July; have
half forcibly recalled all my remem
brances and thrown them down on
paper since my return. Ugly spec
tacle ; sad health ; sad humor a thing
unjoyful to look upon. The whole
country figures in my mind like a
ragged coat ; one huge beggar's gab
erdine, not patched or patchable any
longer far from a joyful or beauti
ful spectacle."

The state central committee met at
Lincoln on the 6th inst. with a full
representation in person or by proxy
being present. By a vote of 18 to 13
Omaha was selected as the place for
holding the state convention, and

Mr. Blaine's new house in Wash
ington, now nearing completion, will

teen and twenty feet wide, running
through the house at right angles with
each other, and fivo rooms, about
20x25 feet each in size, all of which,
by sliding doors, can be thrown into
a single suite. The interior wood
work of the house is of walnut, ma
hogany, poplar and oak.
Casualties happening in Nebraska
on the 4th were not very numerous,
but nevertheless fearful and sad. Geo.
P. Wintersteiu, county clerk of Fill
more county, was injured by fire
works. He will probably lose one
of his legs. At Hebron some boys
ignited a barn with fire crackers. The
venerable mother of senator C. B.
Coon went into the barn to untie the
horse. The animal kicked her sense
less, and she was burned to death
before help reached her.
This is from Utah "There are
hordes of women in Shaker or slat
sunbonnets and calico dresses, scant
in length, breadth and thickness;
whole tribes of half-grown boys and
girls, hoodlums with scarcely an ex
ception ; young men, sullen and vic
ious looking; young women, care
worn and degraded; every woman
with a baby at the breast and two or
three hanging on her skirts; more
halt, blind and lame than I ever saw
in all my life."
A bad accident occurred near Miu
go Junction, Ohio, by the colliding

a half, were rescued on the Virginia
shore.
Three men have been arrested for
the brutal outrage upon Miss Emma
Bond, in a school-house near Taylor
ville, 111., and the evidence appears to
be strong against them. One is mar
ried, named John Montgomery, jr.;
the others are Lee and Clementine
Pittis, living with their mother near
the school building. Miss Bond is
too feeble to be asked to recognize
them.
A fearful accident is reported on
the New Jersey Central the other
day. Fivo cars loaded with passengers-tumbled
from a bridge into
four feet of water, in which a number
of persons were killed outright and
about one hundred wounded, some of
whom will die. Gen. Grant was
slightly hurt and J. T. Raymond had
bis collarbone broken.
The President vetoed Duester's bill
for the protection of immigrants. He
recommends a change in the objec
tionable provisions of the bill and
wishes to concur in the measure as he
regards of great necessity, but could
not concur in this bill on account of
the almost impossibility of transfer of
emigrant passengers by steamers as
they are now bnilt.
One morning last week a well
dressed man fell from the moving
Northwestern train near Council
Bluffs, and was instantly killed, the
head being nearly severed from his
body. No papers found on ihe body
to indicate who he was or where
from. A nice silver watch, and $165
in money were found in his posses
sion. It is stated that both the Nebraska
senators, with Bobbins, Ingalls and
Sherman voted with the democrats to
cut down the enormous bills proposed
to be paid by the house of represent
atives for medical and other attend
ance upon the late President Garfield.
Sixty-five thousand dollars for eighty

The Harvest Secared.
"Wichita, Kas., July 5. The im
mense wheat crop of the lower Ar
kansas valley is completely harvested
and in the best possible condition.
Immense tracts in this vicinity will
average 30 to 40 bushels per acre.
The crop will be moved immediately.
In almost every locality from which
we have had reports throughout the
state of Nebraska plenty of rain has
fallen, and in a number of places a
good deal more than appeared to be
actually neede8 for the benefit of the
growing crops,however the absorbing
power of our soil is almost unlimited.
A fine water color sketch of the
union army crossing, by torch light,
the Big Black river, near Yicksburg,
has been placed on the wall in Gen.

General considers it a remarkably
faithful representation of one of the
moat memorable scenes of the war.

ing, lost a horse and two fine heifers,

The bolts of lightning struck a post

heifers were standing.
