place, and so forih, when Mark took off his
coat and squared himself for business, and
bit off his tobacco and said: “Well, yes;

took a notion to peruse this western <emis

we must be about half way, and so
we and stopped over a day and Mowed around

the Pacific. Well, sir, they pinned us up in
a vestibule train, and took enough provisi OHS
aboard to feed an army, and they fastened
on the kitchen and the cooks, and the dining
library room, and parlors and reading rooms, and a
and a saloon and everything else but
a carriage and horses, and away we went
over taiga plains thirty-five and valleys, and hills and nioun
, at mi'es an hour for 1,740
rtilies, without at stopping anywhere, and
dident stop all for 500 miles at a stretch."
“How about coal and water?" said I.
“Blamed if I know,” said Mark. “Might
have stopped while we were asleep, but I
never saw any. Don’t need any more than
half the way, nohow, for you just roll end
slide down the mountains for half a day at a
time. You climb and climb higher until
you can almost touch the moon and seven
stars, and you can see all creation down be¬
low you, and it makes a man feel like he was
nobody, and had whether no kinfolks, and it dident
matter a cent he lived or died. A
trip over the Rockies and the Sierras will
take the vanity out of a man quicker then

less than he does on the ocean, for to be
drowned is nothing horrible, but for the
train to break a wheel or a jump the track
on a narrow cliff a thousand feet high and
the whole concern to go falling and cracking
to the gulch below is ju-t awful. And there
are hundreds of suen frightful precipices.
when we had got 1,740 miles west of
Kansas City they let us out for thirty min¬
utes and it was just glorious to get on the
ground again and feel the solid earth under
your feet, and to my opinion it is the best
place—better estter than riding than water, train. better Of than dust air,

But as I was telling you, we boarded the
train and put on a clean shirt and took a
fresh start and rolled away for 1,440 miles
more and got to the jumping-off place sure

rock and gazed in silence upon the

The next thing will be three or four law¬

FOR FOUR MILLION
Abraham Backer Assigns his
Worldly Possessions.
Abraham Bicker, dealer in commercial
paper at No. 285 Broadway, New York,
made an assignment Monday without
preference. Backer was a heavy dealer
in commercial paper and also the capi¬
talist of the firm of A. Backer & Co.,
dry goods commission also manufactured merchants at 285
Broadway. He goods
at Glastonbury, Conn., where
he has a fine mill. Their goods
were principally for the southern trade.
Backer’s a-signment, it is said, is princi¬
pally due to the condition of the money
market, which made it very difficult for
him to float a quantity of ci mmercial
paper which he generally handled, and
also to the decline in certain southern
railroad bonds in which he was a largo
holder. His trouble, it is said, in rela¬
tion to southern railroad bonds was the
result of his connection with the Macoi:
Construction company, of Macon, Ga., of
which he was one of the directors, and to
which he said to have lent much money.
His liabilities aie said to be about four
million dollars, of which $2,500,000 is di¬
rect and $1,500,000contingent. The latter
i- said to be ail right and no loss is an¬
ticipated. The assets, according to one
who is familiar with Backcr’s affairs, in¬
clude about one million, five hundred
thousand dollars of bonds of the Georgia
Southern aud Florida railroad, and Macon
aud Birmingham railroad, about seven
hundred and fifty thousand dollars of
Alabama state bonds and a huge amount
of other secuiities, a valuable mill plant
at Glastonbury, Conn., and one hundred
and fifty to two hundred thousand dol¬
lars’ worth of real estate in New York
city. Backer came to New York from
Savannah.

A Peony Bed 250 Years Old.
In the yard of the old Foster home¬
stead is a flaming bed of peonies. The
bed has a history. Hundreds of years
ago maidens in Germany plucked the
gaudy flowers, and in the days when our
forefathers were struggling used for supremacy beg
with the red men Indianc to a
flower to stick in their topknots. Mr. N.
Foster, who was at work in his garden
yesterday afternoon said, pointing with
pride to the big red flowers, “Those
peonies were-brought from Germany by
an ancestor of mine 259 years ago. They
were first planted in the yard of the old
Breed House at the corner of South and
Summer streets. All the Breed family
to-day have flowers from that stock
growing in their gardens. In the early
days the Indiaus used to come to the old
Breed homestead and trade a basket of
clams for one of the flowers to wear in
their hair.”—[Lynn (Mass.) Press.

Some Late Legal Decisions.
Statute of Frauds—A receiver’s verbal
promise to pay a creditor who releases receiver a
lie n upon property which the
sells for the benefit of the firm is void.
Partnership Debt—Levy.—Partners be¬
ing severally and jointly liable, the prop¬
erty of either may be levied on to satisfy
a partnership debt, and the liability may
be enforced against the property of each.
the Legal legal Holidays.—After holidays in Illinois July Septem¬ 1, 1891,
are
ber 1, February 12, January 1, February
22, May 80, July 4, December 25 and
Thanksgiving day. All notes, bills,
drafts, checks, etc., maturing on above
days are considered as maturing on the
day previous.
Interest Law in Missouri Changed.—A
change was made by the last legislature
in the law of Missouri as to rate of inter¬
est, which will soon go into effect. Six
per cent is still the legal rate when no
this rate is agreed upon by the parties, than but
new law provides that not more and col¬
8 per cent can be contracted for
lected by law.
Lea-e. —The fact that a lease has al¬
ways been in the possession of the lessor
is not conclusive evidence that there has
been no delivery, since the lessor has as
much interest in it as the lessee, and as
much occasion for its possession, and the
fact that the tenant has entered under it
is sufficient to sustain a prosumptiou that
it h is been duly delivered.
PubI c Improvements—Damage. When
private property is demanded by the loca¬
tion and construction of a public improve¬
ment near it, and the property is not es¬
pecially benefited by tlfe improvement,
the measure of the property owner's dam¬
age is the difference between the value of
the pr< perty immediately before the loca¬
tion and construction of the improvement,
and its value immediately afterwards.—
Mutual Benefit Insurance—Where the
by-laws of a mutual benefit association
provide that its members shall
be subject to but one as
ssessment for each death loss, and
one assessment is made from which only
part of the amount due on a certificate is
plid, mamiamus will not lie to compel
the levy of another assessment in order to
pay the balance, and it is immaterid
whether the first assessment was sufficient
to" have paid the claim in full or not.
Fraudulent Bepresentations. —Where a
merchant represents himself as solvent,
though he knows that he is insolvent, and
On the strength of such representations subsequently
obtains goods, which he
pays for, and several mouths after buys
more goods from the same person, but
makes no further representations, and
transfers the iast goods bought to other
creditors to secure precedent debts, the
seller cannot recover them from the
transferee on the ground that the sale
was induced by fraudulent and false rep¬
resentations by the purchaser as to his
credit; for altbou h the purchaser knew
that he was insolvent, and had in fact
given unrecorded bills of sale and chattel
mortgages on nearly all of his property,
yet if, ironi all the circum-tances of the
purchaser,‘it appears that the purchaser
hoped to extricate himself from his em¬
barrassments and that he intended to pay
for the goods, the sale was valid not¬
withstanding his the facts of his of known that fact in¬
solvency, suppression immediate
from the seller and his trans¬
fer of the goods to secure other creditors.
New Paper for Bank Notes.
The secretary of the treasury has issued
the following notice in regard to the dis¬
tinctive paper for obligations and other
securities of the United States: “Notice
is hereby given that the secretary of the
tieaiury, by authority of law, has adopt¬
ed a new distinctive paper which will be
used until otherwise ordered, for all new
designs of United Slates notes, certifi¬
cates, national bank notes and securitu s
Other than checks and drafts. The sib.
threaded paper, adopted in 1885. will be
used for existing designs of said notes,
certificates and securit : es until the supply
shall have been exhausted, after which
the new paper hereby adopted will be
used for all obligations of the United
States, except checks and drafts.”
The paper for United States notes,
national bank notes and certificates, is
cream white bank note paper. Its dis¬
tinctive features consist of localized red
and blue silk fiber incorporated in the
body of the paper while in process of
manufacture, so placed as to form a per¬
pendicular stripe on either side of the
center portraits or vignette of each note
and other oblieati< ns. The distinctive
paper of similar quality, with each water

that it may show upon each separate
check or draft adopted in 1885 for United
States checks and drafts, will be contin¬
ued in use t r that, purpose.
