The Bight qt Conrtohtn Let-all Vtodl-cated by Jet-toy Judge. "All the world," says Emerson, "lovesa lover," and is interested in everything pertaining to 1 or her welfare. For this reason, if no other, says the Philadelphia Record, the case of Morgan vs. Wilson, which was decided, Jastweek by a righteous judffo at Newark, N. has appealed strongly to the publio sympathy.

Mrs. Wilson, the landlady of a boarding-house, claimed from Miss Morgan, a boarder, the sum S4 fo "wear and tar on household effects; caused by the visits of her and, as the young lady very properly refused to pay it, the landlady seuid her trunk. A more flagrant outrage than this on the inalienable right of lovora oould not ho imagined. The damage to the furniture was slight at best. There was a depression of somo sla inches deep in the middle of the sofa, while the springs were displaced, and the carpet in front of the sofa was worn into holos.

Far bo it from us to soek to penetrate the mystery of that depression or those holes. It is sufficient to say that such conditions are not uncommon where young couples are a-oourtlng, and that they are founded on a law as immutable as that of gravitation. There are certain things needed in courting a cozy room, a sofa, a minimum supply of gas, and, on winter nights, a maximum supply of coal. Tho knowledge that the dog is chained up, that tho girl's little brother Is not in hiding under tho sofa, and that the old man has taken oil his boots and inoaced his feet in slippers have also boon claimed to be aids to auooossful courtship; although the highest authorities on the subject have never gone so far as to hold that they are absolutely essential. In the ab-senoe of a Rofa a rocking-chair has sometimes been known to be sufficient for all purposes; but it is tricky and has a grain of malice in its composition, and experts have, therefore, generally given their preference to tho sofa.

The landlady's plea that 94 was little enough for throe months' courting was promptly met by the judge, who held that tho question at issue was not tho value of the courting, but the amount of damage done to tho furniture beyond the ordinary woar and tear of three months. There was no proof that Miss Morgan or her friend caused the damage, and as Mrs. Wilson, when she received Miss Morgan as a boardor, had agreed to accord her all tho rights of a young lady, the right to bo courted was neoessarily included, and the seizure of the trunk wu illegal and unjustifiable. The decision, so thoroughly based upon right and equity, should go thundering down the ages. Had tho julgo been a crusty old bachelor ho might have established a precedent of the most fateful character.

Instead of that Miss Morgan has her trunk, and she would be a bold landlady indeed who should at tempt in future to put a sordid and mercenary aspect upon tlie condition of a carpet the boles in which may be typical vt true icve anu We handlo everything you want in dry goods, hats, caps, boots and shoes. 8.

A Esther Finch. It Will for One Cent, and lias an Interesting Origin. The smallest draft ever issued by the Treasury Department will bo drawn in the course of a few days, writes a Lowell (Mass.) correspondent. It is for tho magnificent sum of 1 cent, and is to pay for property worth at the lowest estimate $40,000. At the last session of Congress the Representative from Lowell succeeded in having a bill passed appropriating $300,000 for the ereotlon of a publio building here and the purchase of the site.

Half a dozen different property owners were anxious to have the Governmout buy their property, as they thought it would be a good thing for them. The famous bunting mill in which General 15. F. Butler is such a larjre stockholder owns a large plot ot ground iftear the mill and offered it to the Government for a very low price, thinking that if the post-offlce was built there the company's other property would enhance in value. Considerable property was owned by an estate at the other end of the town, and for the same reason they offered land equally as desirable.

The oontest between the two waged warm for a time until at last the Butler people executed a master move and offered the property to tho Government for $1. But tho other syndicate heard what had been done and offered their ground for 1 cent, and this offer the Government finally aocepted, and the draft for 1 cent will soon bo sent to the agent of the owners. The same routine will have to be followed in regard to this draft as if it were for $1,000,000. All the papers will have to be carefully examined by tho accounting officers in the first instance, and there will about fourteen signatures on the warrant before the draft if. finally signed by the Secretary of the Treasury- It Reat.i Them All.
