XAGAZiyzs OF TflE M0XTIL The February Forniu presents an unusually interring table of contents. Judge Alfred C. f)xe suggests a plan for tho relief of the, overburdened Supreme Court of the Unitfl States, -which it would 6eem should c.eet the approval of all who are concenjr d in expediting the work of that body. "W. S. Lilly, the English essayist, begins a series of papers -which will constitute on inquiry into the present moral conditim of the civilized world. Tho current article indicates the writer's belief that J.nglo-Saxon civilization is sullering from a. lowering of the moral idea, and in later chapters he will point out specifically his Teasons for this belief. In a paper on "In--fernational Extradition," Prof. Henry "Wade Kogers rebukes the Senate for so long delaying action on the treaty with Great Uritiiin, and asserts that in the three years Fince it has been holding the treaty embezzlements committed in the United States by persons who have tied to Canada amounts to nearly 4,000,000. Senator Morgan, of Alabama, discusses the question. 'Shall Negro Majorities Rule!" the snbstance of his argument being that they shall not, and that all the Southern people want is to bo let alone." He regards the matter as a race problem, pure and siifiple. Prof. Andrew I). White points out the advantages of establishing a national university at Washington. The Marquis of Lome writes on the obstacles to the annexation of Canada to the United States, and naturally finds a great many. Eliza Linn Linton has for a topic, "Are Good Women Characterless!' Rev. CM. Morse, considers the relation of the church to tho workingman, and lays the blame for the lessening of ecclesiastical influence over that element of society to the oppression of wealth. Mr. Morse is, it would appear, something of a Communist. Jules Verne, in an ingenious and amusing sketch, describes the condition of civilization in the year2SS9. Prof. Cleveland Abbe, of the Washington

.Meteorological Unreau, shows the error 01 the popular idea that our climate is changing. In an article entitled "Reforms that Do Not Reform," Edward Atkinson punctures the arguments of the communistic anti-poverty'' theorists. After pointing out several fallacies in the single-tax doctrine, he concludes: Finally, would this change In the system of land-tenure lead to an increase of production! If the present product Is 50 cents' worth per head of the population, more or less, what would be the effect of tne single-tux system In Increasing or dlmlalshlrjr this productl When the advocates of this system put their proposed measure into the form of a lull to be submitted to any legislature, their difficulties win begin, and the fallacy of their reasoning win at once become plain. i may surest that it is often a sufficient test of an a priori theory to ask the proponent to put his proposed system in the form of a bill to be passed oy any legislature. This brings the subject to a practical issue, and in nine caes out of ten tlie theorists are incapable of framing an act becaise their proposition is impossible." Harper for February opens with an illustrated article by Theodore Child on "The Hotel Drouot," the Paris center of art commerce. Tho paper is of interest to those who are concerned in building up art museums. P. F. McClure presents a variety of facts and statistics about Dakota. Among other things ho states that thero is reason to believe that the United States will obtain its supply of tin from the Black Hills, Dak. The deposits of tinstone there yield larger percentage than ore from the mines of Saxony or Cornwall; and now that "jugging" a simple and inexpensive process of separating the tin from -the encompassing rock has been devised, the proper working of mines will not be prevented, as formerly, by the insurmountable barrier of a lack of money to erect the old style separating plants. John Habberton departs from his accustomed field and writes about "Bulb Gardens In-doors." The article has soma attractive illustrations. Russian literature, without which no magazine is now complete, consists in this number of a discriptivo sketch of a Russian villaga by Vasili Verestchagin. Dr. Charles Waldstein occupies thirtyseven jages with an essay on "The Work of Joan Knskic." A portrait of Ruskin fnnos the frontispiece of the magazine. Bjorn3tjerne Biornson writes of 'Norway and Its People." An article of educational importance is by Lmilia Christiana Curtis m 'The Training of Children's Voices in Lights," is developing some original characters. A short story by Edward Bellamy, poems by Amelie Rivers, Annie Field. Clinton Scollard and James WThitcomb Riley, the latter accompanied bj- an excellent portrait, are other features of the number. An article by E. H. Woodruff on "Walter Scott at Work" is the leading contribution in February Scribner. In an introduction to the article, written by ex-President Andrew D. White, the fatter says: "Never was there a more healthful and health-ministering literature than that which Scott gave to the world. To go back to it from Flaubert, and Daudet, andTol- ! stoi is like listening to the song of the lark ( after the shrieking passion of the midnight ' DianO.flVrtP? Iiav. It. i HlrA mmirter e the glare and heat and reeking vapor of a palace ball into a grove in the first light andmnsicand breezes of the morning." A striking portrait of Scott forms tho frontispiece f the magazine. Dr. D. A. Sargent continues his articles on physical training, devoting this chapter to the physical development of women. Picturesque Holland is pleasantly described and charmingly illustrated by the artist, George Hitchcock. In -'Some Greek Portraits," written of by Thomas Perry, it is interesting to know from the reproductions that Greek women of the classio period, were not invariably beautiful, not even "classic," as it is the modern fashion to picture them. Frederick H. Chapin tells how he photographed a group of Rockvroountam sheep m Colorado. Austin Dohson writes of tne "Old Vauxhall Gardens." An essay by Bishop Henry C. Potter, on The Competitive Element in Modem Life." is a featnre of the number. W. C. Brownell concludes his series of essas on "French Traits." The fiction of the number consists of an installment of Stevenson's serial the "Master of Ballantral" and short stories by George H. Jessup and Brander Matthews. In "New Chapters in the Warfaro of Science," in Popular Science Monthly for February. Prof. Andrew D. White describes the struggle of science with superstition and delusion, this chapter treating of demoniac possession and insanity. There are several educational papers in the number, one, Prof. James Jobnnofs "Story of a School," describing tho remarkable success of a normal school conducted on scientific Principles. In "Physical Training for l oung Children" M. F. La Grange gives tho preference to voluntary play rather than systematic gymnastics. He says on this question: Instinctive rnnnastlcs I, from the hvgienlo point of view, the bet adapted to t be regular development of tne child. It Is not liable to any of the objections we have brought acatnst gymnastics with apparatus. It cannot deform the body, lor it is made up of spontaneous movements, and conformed to tho natural office of each limb. It does not localize the work in a particular region of the body, for an tae iiniDS are uuuncuveiy mvuea to take their Quota of exercise; and it does not reduce the child into efforts touching upon the limits of hi strength. Instinct also invites him to the kind of work which is best adapted to his particular aptitudes for resisting fatigue, lie has a TUtirral disposition to perform Ucht but fre quently recurring act, quick motions, which pwt hlra oat of breath, while exercises with app?atna rather exact slow and Intense efforts ttmt bring on local fatigue. Now, all observers h.-ivo noticed the wonderful facility with which a e'jdld recovers Lis breath, and his impatience of 1wal f utlrue. Finally natural exercise, leixii? the rt uf terion of a want, is by that very fact a plerure; and Joy fliineslu the face of the child vho is pJayin freely. The February Atlantic keeps pace with the times in an article by Philip G. Hubert, on the phonograph and its possibilities. fc:irah Orne Jewett contributes a Xe.tv England Character tinlr. xvliirh i n (Tom - J 9 4 S I tvay.

James ana Arthur Sherburne, ine two . i latter are authors of the serial stones now running iu tho magazine. Applet on's Magazine discusses the interstate-commerce law from the stand-point of the railroads. Prof. C. V. Kiley explains some of the methods of evolution in a paper "On tho Causes of Variation." Prof. G. A- Daubree describes the work of "Underground Waters in Rock Transformations." "The Origin of Holidays," by Harlow Gale, is a 6tndy of social customs. "The Yezidees.or Devil Worshipers," is the title of a paper by L. K. Browski. .Temperance literature receives an addition in "New Facts in Alcoholic Heredity," contributed by Dr. T. D. Crothers. A eulogistic sketch of Judge J. B. Stailo, present minister to Italy, is the closing paper. A portrait of Judge Stallo forms the frontispiece of the magazine. The Art Age for January urges tho importance of holding an annual convention of tho art associations of the United States. It believes that this is the only way to successfully organize a national society of arts. Curiously enough for a paper printed and edited in New York it recommends that the convention be held in Chicago, and expresses a doubt of the ability of New York to manage such an undertaking. The Art Age is doing much to promote the interests of architecture, recent numbers being largely devoted to that field of work. The supplement with this issue is a water-color interior of tho cottage of which an outer view was given last month. Gilliss Bros. &, Turnure, New York. D. C. Heath Jc Co., Boston, are issuing a series of historical documents known as the "Old South Leaflets," which they have published during the last five years in connection with the courses of historical lectures at the Old South Church, Boston. They aro useful to students in putting into their hands important papers not otherwise accessible. The leaflets are furnished at five cents a copy. The Magazine of American History for February is a Washington number. Much information is given relating to his presidential career in New York city, and in view of tho coming centennial inaugural celebration will be welcomed by those who are searching for data concerning that period. In these days if there is anything you don't know, go to the almanao and bo informed. Tho Chicago News Almanac is a mine of statistics, most of them relating to folitics. It is a valuable book of reference, rice, 25 cents. COACHES FOR DEAD MEN. Peculiar Hallway Carriage to lie Sent to South America for Funeral Purposes. Philadelphia Special. The Brill car-works, at Thirty-first and Chestnut streets, have just finished three street-cars designed to transport the dead in Buenos Ayres. The cars aro nnique in constructiou and are the first of the kind made in this country. They are first, second anil third-class, the first being designed to carry the body of a wealthy individual, the last the corpse of a pauper. The firstclass car is very handsome. The body is a rich black toned with purple, with passion flowers painted on the sides. Tho windows are of French plate-glass. The seats, folding up against the sides, are upholstered in black plush and the window curtains are black, cloth trimmed with gold bullion. In the forward end of the car is an altar, with silver cross and candelabra, while on either side of the altar are cathedral purplestained glass windows. The interior of the car is finished in whito and gold. The metal work is nickel-plated and handsome in design. On the top nine large sable plumes are placed. Tho other cars are much simpler and plainer in design, and the third-class car has merely a row of shelves for the cofiins. These cars are intended to run on the street-car tracks in Buenos Ayres, and will be switched off on a side-track nearest the house of the dead person. The bod is carried on a bier to the car, placed inside, the mourners seat tneniselves around, norses are attached, and the car proceeds on its way to the cemetery. This custom is adopted in the City of Mex ico, and in some cities of Central America. The onlv parallel amonc Northern nations is the dead train which leaves the Gard du Nord in Paris at 5 o'clock every moraine. carrying the bodies of paupers and unrec ognized persons oi tne morgue. Tbe Free-Trader and Saw Materials. Philadelphia North American. A dense and complete disbelief in the re sources and skill of the country has always characterized the free-trader, lie denies it to the most reasonable use of its "raw ma terials," just as ho denies also the most natural development of the skill and industry of the inhabitants. Nothing can convince him but actual demonstration that it is possible for the American people to supply themselves. Just now. Senator Dawes, of Massachusetts, has illustrated this in away that commands notice, because the case cited is so exactly and interestingly apro pos, seventeen years ago Mr. Dawes was chairman of the House ways and means committee. To that committee came tho persistent advocato of tho free-trade fad known in print as "the Parsee Merchant." Mr. J. S. Moore, and assured them that the idea of manufacturing silk goods in tho United States was absurd. He demanded, says Mr. Dawes, "a large reduction in the duties upon silk fabrics, on the ground that the idea of introducing that manufacture into this country was preposterous; it never could be done, and it was an idle waste of erlort and money to undertake it." That was tho view of the "merchant.7' He insisted upon it, of course. He was bitterly sarcastic with any one who differed from him. His interest was solely in importation of silkfi; that America should make them herself was an idea not only unnatural but actually scandalous. Yet what has happened? In eight years after his prediction the census snowed that the silk manufacture of the United States had grown to tho sum of $41,000,000 a year, while at the same timo the cost of these goods had fallen SI per cent., and employment had been given to over o4.1(J0 Americans, men. women and children, wlvose wages footed up $9,000,000 a year, "fcince lbK)," added Mr. Dawes, "all these thines have increased to an im mense ratio. The annual product has very largely increased. The capital invested has likewise very largely increased, and the number of hands employed has more than doubled, and tho wages paid are very much larger than before, and the cost to tno consuruer is xo-aay less xnan it was m xoov.

Hcrr Von Bocttcher again proves that the social reforms of tho government are designed to r lace workmen os far as possible understate tutelage. The Jbrankforter Zeitung asks whether work men will sell their birthright for a pottage ox lentils. Prince Bismarck's feud with tho ultra Conservatives threatens to alienate a number of his hitherto ardent supporters. Search has been ordered of the offices of tho Kreuz Zcitung and the house of its editor.lierr tlammestein, lor tnemanuscript of an article attacking the Chancellor's conduct of the Gctiicken inquiry. This order is condemned, even in the Cologne Gazette, as an ottense against the liberty of tho press. The Kreuz Zeitung. despite the fact that the Conservative leaders recently disavowed its sentiments, returns to the charge that Prince Bismarck has injured the monarchical sentiment by the Gerhcken process. The Keichsbote supports the Kreuz Zeitung in this position. These and other symptoms disclose the decided growth and strength of the anti-Bismarck party. licunions wnicn occur at the residence or Count Von Waldersee unite the partisans of the ex-Empress and ultra Conservatives, whose common aim is to weaken the influence of the Chancellor. Count Eulenburg. Dr. Stocecker, and Herr Kcegel appear at these reunions, count iNesselrode also appears as the representative of the ex-Empress. 1 ho Chancellors enemies declare that his reign is nearing its close. They assert that, Desiuesnis piiysicai anmenis, wnicnrenuer him incapable of governing, his domestic influence, all potent with the Emperor, is fast weakening Bismarck's hold, and thai; tho Empress, who is a close friend cf Countess Von walrtersee, sympathizes with the opponents of the Chancellor. Empress Augusta also blames his action as exposing to the world family scandals. 1 he impression of tho diplomatic circle is that though Bismarck's power over the Emperor is lessening, his position will remain secure until he retires; but that the succession of Count Herbert is doubtful. Scott Ray Thrown Overboard. Correspondence of tli IuAIanapolis Journal. S heuj yvilix, Ind., Feb. 2.The Demo cratic central committeemen of Shelby and Decatur counties met at the court-house this afternoon to nominate a candidate for tho State Senate, to till the vacancy caused by the unseating of Senator Carpen ter, cuito a number of Democrats from Greensburg, headed by Colonel Scobey, were here in the interest of 6ome one from that county, claiming that the only way to carry the district was to nominate a new man. Carpenter is already in the lield, and Ray fully expected an indorse ment irom nis pany. oome. uays ago no announced in his paper that he intended being voted for at the polls, in the follow ing emphatic language: That no mimnderstanding may possibly arise. we want to ay, with emphasis, that the proprie tor oi tnis paper 19 now a candidate ror re-eiec-tlon to the othce of Stat Seuator. lie was honestly and fairly nominated and has made a hard and expensive contest, and now in honor to him self, his friends and the party he will again make the race. We understand that Mr. Carpenter win nffain make the race. lie deserves to make it, for reasons which appeal to us to assert our intention to he voted ior at the polls. In compliance with this notice Mr. Rayhad his friends at the convention to look after his interosts. When the Democrats hied into the court-room they were all at sea as to what would be tho outcome, and a lively fight was looked for. Chairman Buxton, of this county, called the multitude to order, and afterhaving the names of the central committeemen called, requested them to retire to the eheriti's office, where they went into session with locked doors. No 6ooner was tho key turned than turmoil set in and continued for three hours, when the members finally nominated Cortez Ewing, of Greensburg. The announcement of the result was a terrible blow to the followers of Ray, and to-night they are swearing vengeance. It is evident the nomination will not give satisfaction, and a wide split in tho Democratic party is looked for. Ewing is very unpopular in his own county, and has no personal following in this county. Ho has made the race for a county office in Decatur county 6orae three times, and always got left. He also got involved in a postofhee light there some three years ago, and made many enemies in his own party. His defeat is confidently looked for in this race. Carpenter is engaged in an active canvass, and is in the fight to win. French Politics. Paris, Feb. 2. It is rumored that an attempt will be made by tho French Ministry in the Chamber of Deputies to annul the election of General Boulanger for the department of tho Seine, upon the grounds of bribery and corruption. During the debate in the Chamber, yesterday, a great deal was said about tho source of the unds used to enect the election of Boulanger, even Premier Floquet indulging in ambiguous allusions to General Boulanger's "financial operations." Ho very discreetly refrained, however, from any reference to the origin of the enormous 6uins expended in the endeavor to elect the government candidate, M. Jacques, who is not in the least under the suspicion of poaf-essing one-tenth of the sum disbursed in his interest. It is proposed to weed out all tho government employes who voted for Boulanger, tho Opportunists deeming them traitors, and it is difficult to conjecture to what lengths the cowardice of the Ministry will ultimately lead them. Killed by a Falling Tree. Special to the Indian polls Journal. rnAXKLiv. ImL. Feb. 2.Willlam Collin, a fanner residing on the Johnson and bhelby county line, east of thU city, was instantly killed by a falling tree yesterday afternoon. lie was In this city in the morning, went home, and rrora ms nome went to tho woods near his house to talk with some men who vere cutting down trees, and arrived at tbe plaee ju6t as a large tree was fallinjr. He was unable to get out of tbe war of the falling branches nnd was struck on the head by a heavy limb and instantly killed. Mr. Collins was a man of family. He will bo buried on Sunday at the Mr. Pleasant Church, in this county. Balloting: for Senator. Cuarlestox, W. Va., Feb. 2. In the Joint session, to-day, of the General Assembly, there was bnt one ballot taken for United fitates Senator, and it molted: Kenna, 3f Goff, 38; 8. P. Ilaw-

ver, (Union Labor), 3; Judge Erannon. 1. Whole number of votes cast, 81, necessary for choice a choke, 41. All the Democrats are now voting for Kenna, except Dorr, of Webster, who still holds out, and unless h or some of the Union Laborities vote for Kenna, be will not be returned to the Senate, Neither Mr. Kenna nor his friends outwardly appear to be disconserted by Door's action, as it is claimed that at the proper time two of the Union La'or votes will come to Kenna. The two houses have been iu session two days trying to reach the counting of tho vote for State onlcers, but as yet nothing except numerous speeches ban couip out of the matter. An adjournment was had till Monday. Pawnee Bill's Oklahoma Boomers. Caldwell, Kau., Feb. 2. Harry Hill and Frank Albright arrived here this evening from the camp of the Isomers, near ilunuewcli. The object of their visit to tho camp was to intercede with Pawnee Bill aud persuato him to make no move until the bill had passed the Senate, as it "was not the object of tho colony to antagonize tho jrovemiuent if they could possibly avoid it. Pawnee Dill did not like the idea of postponing the raid, but as he had not yet centralized his forces, he acTeed to consider the matter, and in the mean time the raiders will change their base of operations from Arkansas City and Hunnewell to this city. It is expected that Pawnee Bill will arrive here on Monday with a larjee crowd of settlers, and the citizens are wild w ith enthusiasm. Brush Gets the Franchise. Tho hase-hall question, which has heen a subject of much interest to all lovers of the game for tho past two weeks, has finally been settled, at least so far as the disposition of the franchise is concerned. Late yesterday afternoon President Brush was notified by President Young that Indianapolis had been unauiinously elected a member of the National League, and that the syndicate of which Air. Brush is the head had been given tho franchise without a dissenting vote. Mr. Brush was seen by a reporter, and asked about the future. IIe said he had not yet had time to start the ball rolling, but would commence work at once. The first move, he said, would be to communicate with the players and get their names to contracts, lie could not say yet who would be made manager, but one will bo secured as soon as possible. When asked if Glasscock would be the man, Mr. Brush stated that he could not say yet, but would know within a few days. He said the surrender of the franchise and the subsequent annoyance, had disarranged everything and it would require a little time to get things in working order. It is the intention of the new organization, which will bo known as the "Indianapolis Ball Club," to make the team as strong as possible, and if any good players are to be secured no money will be spared in getting them. Mr. Brush 6aid that tho financial condition of the old organization was such that nothing could bo done in tho way of purchasing new men and that the season has now so far advanced that there aro not many good players to bo had. However, ho intends to do the best he can. The report that the option on pitcher Getzein had been waived is not true, and Mr. Brush said that negotiations with the big German would be opened at once. It is almost certain that he will play hero next season. . None of the men now under reserve, however, will bo released until better ones are secured to take their places. In short, it is the aim of the new syndicate to give Indianapolis a first-class ball team, such as it has never had in previous years. From Mr. Brush's talk it is evident that he is in tho business to stay, and all he asks is the support of the Indianapolis public. He does not think that a ball club can make much mpney here the coming season, especially if it is to be hampered by lawsuits and other annoyances of that character. He said: "All wo want is a fair chance. We feel that our course in all we have done has been per

fectly legal, and that success did not crown our efforts was no fault of the management. I have put in two years' timo without tho smallest compensation, and would havo cheerfully continued had it been possible. It was not, however, and what wo did was tho only way out of the difficulty. The new club will be run on business principles, and we hope to make it a credit to ourselves and the city which it represents." When asked about the present legal complications, President Brush said that ho could not tell what the outcome would be. He knew nothing of the appointment of a receiver until he saw it in tno papers and thought that the proceedings were unwarranted. Mr. Dryer, he said, was hardly the proper person to place in such a position as ho ha been acting as the attorney lor some of the guarantors and is ineligible on that account. Thocaso will bo called before Judge Walker to-morrow morning, at 9 o'clock. The receiver vesterday made a demand upon Treasurer Meyer and Secretary Bruenig for all property of the club. The former turned over $57.17, that being all of the funds on hand. It is claimed that the money received from President Young can not bo taken by the receiver, as it has been placed in charge of the trustees of the guarantors' fund. Nearly all of the guarantors received the amount tendered them, but 6ovcral refusedto give any receipt other than one for so much on account, and these were accepted by the trustees. Opinions hj Sullivan's Bondsmen. Messrs. Bproule, Renihan and Conaty, the sureties on bulllvans's bond as county clerk, were interviewed by a Journal reporter shortly after tho selection of Mr. Wilson as Sullivan's successor was announced. The first-named gentleman apparently took his defeat very philosophically. "Of course I am disappointed," he said, "for the commissioners take away what chanco we had left to save ourtelves from loss through Sullivan's dishonesty. I had hoped for a different result, although I had no definite promise from any of the commissioners. The most that any of them said in reply to my application was that it should have consideration As things stand now, all wo have to protect ourselves aro tho fees of the office up to this timo, and tho indemnity bond given us by Sullivan." Messrs. Renihan and Conaty, the other bondsmen, took the result less coolly. They were together when the reporter found them, and had evidently been holding an indignation meeting, which had failed to clear away the clouds of their wrath, and indications of profound disgust still lingered in their countenances. Mr. Renihan was disinclined to talk about it, and cautioned Conaty against too much freedom of expression, but the little man would not be bottled up. Why should I not talk about Itt" he said. "The commissioners have done their worst, and there is no way of remedying it. They have taken away the only chance we had to save ourselves to make a placo for a political favorite. We offered to accept tho office without salaryt and agreed that all receipts should go to pay tho expenses and liabilities. In addition, I offered to act as cashier, thus saving another $2,000, and all our propositions contemplated the furnishing of good and sufficient bonds In any snm the commissioners might elect. The commissioners preferred to take Mr. Wilson, who lives in the same house with Commissioner Reveal, pay him $5,000 a year, and let him turn over the balance to pay the liabilities of tho office. 2sow, how much will the creditors of the office get under this arrangement There are about two years of the term for which Bulllvan was elected to run, and the office will pay about $10,000 a year. Mr. Wilson pets $.V OOO of this yearly, and can use up tho balance in extra help if so disposed, lie will probably be continued at $5,000 a year to closo up the business of Sullivan's term after the two years havo expired. Tho whole arrangement is an outrage on the public." Mr. Renihan was asked for a separate opinion, but he said Conaty had covered tho case, and when the reporter left them there was every indication that the volcano was not exhausted and would be liable to break out hereafter.

Ho was taken out in a boat by an ancient mariner, of whom he inquired whether any Bostonians had recently been thero. "Yes," said the old salt; "jour big preacher, Phillips Brooks, was out here with me a little while since." "Indeed," said Mr. Holmes, "what did you think of himP "He was a lino gentleman," said the old salt, "but he swore nrettvhard fora preacher" "What!" said Mr. Holmes, "Phillips Brooks sworeyon don't mean it" "W ell," returned tho toiler of the deep. T11 tell you how it happulled in so uwfui hard that I had to take hold and help.

This anec dote set the table in a roar. He said: Mjr love, I am desperately sorry to disappoint Ton about tho picnic to-iuoiTow, but my rino trotter lias a lam o foot." "Is that all!

SEEKING SUNKEN MILLIONS. An Abundance of British Gold Said to Be Hidden in tbe Waters of Bell Gate, New York SpeciaL Treasure-seeker Georee W. Thomas, of Ilackettstown, N. J., is jubilant over the decision rendered by the Conrt of Errors and Anneals, bv which he will be allowed to continue seeking for the- sunken treasure of 4,800.000 which lies in the waters of Hell Gate. The case, which has been before the courts 6ince 1S84, was that of J. C. Hartshorn, of Providence, against George W. Thomas. It was instituted, to compel Thomas to pay back or make an account ing of fcb,000, wnicn naa been turned over to nim for the purpose of rescuing from the watery depths of Hell Gate about So.000,000 iu gold which is supposed to have been aboard the English frigate Hussar, which was wrecked on Pot Kock Nov. 25, 1780. The money was sent from England for the pay of the men in tho English navy, who had not received any money from the government for three years. lhe ill-fated frigate at the time of the disaster, was bound for Newport, E. I., with 150 men on board, including a number of American prisoners. George w. Thomas, the defendant in tho present suit, began operations in 1879, having received permission from the government to go on with the work. Ho obtained various sums of money from his friends for conducting the work until 18S4, when those who advanced the money secured the annulment of the government permission for its continuance. The Supreme Court has now given a decision setting aside the verdict of the lower court. Work on the sunken treasure will be commenced again by Mr. Thomas in the spring. A School Girl's Device. Boston Transcript. 'I am moved to write to you," says a letter from a lady of. Charles street, "by the discovery among my old school books of several tightly rolled little bundles of newspaper cuttings; nnd I wonder if you ever heard of an epidemic which raged with some violence a while ago in the upper classes of the grammar scuools. It might be called the Tage for condensed novelsror perhaps 'compressed novels.' and it was managed in this way: All the stories that could oe found in the Fireside Companion and such paperswere cut out and saved. Each story was carefully pasted into one long strip, sometimes yards in length, and ono column wide. Then, beginning at the end of the story the strip was tightly rolled into a little solid cylinder, leaving tho title on thd outside. The roll was thon tied up with tape, and after a day or two was ready for use. The girl who had the largest collection of these interesting articles was a very popular creature. The uso to which wo put them may be easily imagined. Their compact shape and the ease with which they could be rolled olf into v. second cylinder as we read them made them a very convenient diversion in the long hours of school. When the geography lesson happened to be dull or when we were waiting for 4 o'clock to etriko then we most diligently perused them, secreted in the palms of our hands. And they were useful at home, since parents who would have been- shocked at the sight of the papers from which they were cut had no eyes for these sly little rolls, of which wo often carried a dozen in each pocket. That most of them were pernicious cannot be denied, and they had need to be strong and highly flavored to suit our fifteen-year-old minds. All were filled to the edge with love, conceded to be more attractive to the youthful mind than grammar or arithmetic, though dangerous but wo would have it. I wonder if any old school-girl of 1871 has preserved any of these little rolls for her little Ethel's future reading? What queer things girls are!" Discrimination on Parallel Railroads. Aprleton Morgan, in Fopular Science Monthly. But, without supposing that they were committing a crime, and as yet unconvinced of sin, these three railways, let us say, came together, and determined to make a single rate to Chicago for all business received by each of the three lines; these receipts to be pooled and divided something on tho basis outlined above. Even had they proceeded upon a basis of the single actual receipts to each for solicited business, thera could be no difference to the public either way, but they chose to consider the most complicated problem of a single tariff divided upon the items of expenditure, outlay and cost described above. What resulted! Simply that there was (as tho interstate-commerce law says there shall be) no discrimination. But when the interstate-commerce law, while keeping the word of promise to tho ear by saying there should be no discrimination, broke it to the hope by saving there should be no pool, what resulted? Wh3t in the case of these threo roads, s, discrimination in favorof one-third against two-thirds! For, when each of theso three roads makes its own tariff, of course, the road having tho smallest fixed charges to pay makes the lowest rates. The dwellers along that line have the advantage of theao low rates to which, of the other two railways, only one can approximate; while the third line must either go to the other extreme, or defraud the holders of its securities. A Dilution of Igal Knowledge, Judge Alfred C Coxe, In the Forum. Within the memory of men still living it was not a difficult task for a lawyer in active practice to familiarize himself with all the leading American decisions. How is it now? Unless his memory is abuormally developed ho cannot retain the names of the reports, even, much less their contents. In this multitude of authorities, both luminous and fuliginous, no proposi-

The lawyer of the present, instead of basing his judgment upon broad, general principles of right, is too apt to spend his timo and waste his faculties in delving and , searching among tho yellow-covered literatnre of a public law library (no ono but a millionaire can afford one of his own) for some case similar to the one in hand. He shrinks into a mere "decision index or an echo." He becomes a patient toiler searching for the threads of precedent to twist a rope with which to strangle principle. A writer who took the pains to gather the statistics asserts that from December, 18S6, to August, 1887 a period of eight months the Supreme Court and tho courts of last resort of the various States rendered 8,825 decisions, in most of which opinions were written. This fora part of a year and a part only of tho courts. Is it surprising that this deluge of reports has diluted legal science and almost swept away the great landmarks of the law? A Hay-Seed Legislator. Minneapolis Journal. Several of Senator Kellais colleagues were having great fun in the Merchants' Hotel last night over one of the latest jokes on the Teutonie Stearns county statesman. Ono night last week a numberof legislators stood chatting in the wet goods dispensary adjoining the Merchants' on the JacksonStreet side. Senator Kellar dropped in and purchased a . glass of beer, lie did not notice any of his brother members. After he had quaffed the larger ho took a cigar out of his pocket, stuck it in his mouth, then turned and walked to an electric light bulb, pressed the cigar against the glass and began puffing like a steam engine. Of course the cigar wasn't lighted. Tho Senator took it from his mouth, looked at it critically, and ejaculated, just loud enough to be heard: "I yonder vat in der matter ish, anyvayT Must be somedings wrong init der cigar. I vill try him vonce more anyvay." He did. After another moment's trial he threw the cigar on tne floor in disgust. Til git even mit dis St Paul Gas. light Company. Dey vas one tarn svindle.

Professor Pick, the celebrated English xnnemonist, is at the liiggs. It is from his works that Professor Loisette has been accused of purloining the system he has used in teaching memory, Loisette has considerable dash and swagger in his address. Up in Connecticut Rome time ago he gave a few of his memorizing pyrotechnics, and offered to anv man who could imitate them. A quiet Yankee got up and volunteered. He offered a list of numbers and a list of names to correspond. Then he would give the name which corresponded with each number and the number attached to each name. He let Loisette select any scries of numbers he chose from 1 to 1,000, then give a namo to correspond with each number, and would call off numbers and names like an auctioneer. Then he took another series of numbers, gave name9 of towns in Connecticut to correspond, and juggled with those to the chagrin and astonishment of the mystified professor, who paid over his $50 and left town. The man with the wonderful memory was none other than the assistant postmaster at that point. Ho had given a list of box numbers in tho Eostoilice with their patrons. It was all at is tongue's end. He had varied the programme by working off the local time table of the railroad. In a Bath for a Tear. London Hospital. A unique remedy for eczema and other cutaneous diseases is Hebra's water-bed, or rather, to define it accurately, continual bath. Tho patient lives entirely in his bath, eats, drinks and sleeps there till he is well. Ono patient was kept in such a bath for S85 days. Think of this! More than a year of washing-day! It is enongh tomake any ono hate tho sight of water forever. There is a slight danger of the patient slipping entirely under water in his sleep and drowning; but it is usual to pass a bandage under his arms and fasten it, so as to support tho upper part of the body on the inclined part of the bat h, on which the head rests. The palms aud soles become whito and shriveled like a washerwoman's hands, but the skin of other parts of the body does not suffer, and the treatment is said to be very efficacious in severe burns. When the patient first gets into the bed the temperature is W degrees, but as he gets used to it it is raised by degrees to DS degrees. An Iron-Clad Taralyzer. Boston Globe.
