A MERcHANT's Honor. R.-The land
occupied by the public Institutions of
this city at South Boston, comprising
originally sixty acres, was purchased in
1921 for six thousand dollars. Tho sc-
count of the purchase is given to the
follnwng effect in Mr.. Cuincy's recently
published History of Boston:-
Mr.. Samuel Brown. Boston mer-
chant of the "old school," was the owner
of the land. When the plan Of tho
Houses of Industry and Correction was
projected. the chairman of the commit
tee appointed for his business, applied to
Mr. Brown TO know his price. He men
toned one hundred dollars an acre. A
vote of the town was obtained for the
purchase of the land. Mr.. Brown, when
applied to second time by the chair.
man, said, "Mr. Quincy, you know tho
agreement was verbal. and not biuding in
law; and since our interview, | have
been offered 500 dollars an acre for my.
land, making a difference to me. over
your offer. of twenty fire thousand dollars.
However, sir, like the object. ] think
the land uncommonly we'll adapted to it.
You hare my VOrd, and am not dispos-
ed to fall back from it, you shall have
my deed"
1t may he added that the value of the
land in that neighborhood imme diately
rose to 1000 dollars an acre. 80 that Mr..
Brown, In fact, made gift to the town
of nearly 10000 dollars. Mr.. Quincy
adds
samuel Brown had been the archi.
tect of his own fortune; was active, judi
cious and punctual as a man ofbusiness;
of high sense of honor, distinguished
for his readiness to assist his friends with
his advice and his fortune; public spirit.
ed. without ostentation nr any selfishs
views in exhibiting it, Respect for his
memory should ever be cherished by tho
citizens nf Boston"
Mr.. Brown died about twenty-five
years sgn. His residence was in tho
upper part of Hanover street. opposite

KossuTH's REsIDENCE IN ENGLAND
We find the following paragraph in
London paper, in reference to the con
templated residence of Knssuth in that
city:
1t was his intention with about forty
of his countr, men to reside in Belgium
and there quietly watch the progress Of
events in Europe. The sole reason why
Kossuth would have preferred Belgium
to England was the greater economy
practi cable in the former country. The
altered state of affairs in France has
however, satisfied him that the Belgian
government would not sanction his resi-
dence in Belgium at present; and, there
fore, he has fixed on England as the
place of his residence for season. Hi
course of procedure. we learn from one
of his most intimate friends, will be ,c
assume passive attitude for the present
! in the assured belief that events are rap
r idly hurrying onward to a great criSi
both in Germany and Italy.

rhe State Auditor adjnred BY . distressed
Democrat to save the New Constitution
from Its Friends.
We cut the following from the Gin
'innati Enquirer. the Democratic organ
nf Hamilton county:
To W. d. Morgan. Auditor Of Stale:
Sir: There exists in the State of Ohio
a large body Of men who rej"iced at
your election. knowing your jackson
6rmness under the most trying circum
stances. To you. and few of the
more sterling portion Of the executive
branch of our government. we lnok for
our ultimate safety. Comptroller Wright,
of New York, can find. We feel it and
knnw it. twin brother in Ohio. it you.
sir, will fearlessly stay the hands OF The
spoilers who are now endeavoring to
foist themselves on The State Treas
ury.
Clearly unconstitutional expenditures
have been made and expenses of various
kinds ave been incurred. whose outlay
is not sanctioned by the new constitution.
Premit me to state one of lhem-the
printing! The constitution is as clear
upon that subject as the noon day sun.
No printing is constitutional except Suoh
as is
|. Done according to LAW;
2. Let out by contract to the lOUest
bidder
8. The contract made by Executive
o6Tcers.
Sam. Medary's contract is therefore
not only 0oidabte. but utterly vnid and
Of no effect:
/. II rests on resolution;
2. 1t is made by the Legislative Off
GERS
8. No bids were invited.
But their is one additional violation
to which especially invite your atten
iion. The contracts are made for edcl
House separate. while the constitution
requires the JOINT action of both Housed
in the premises. Under the old consti
tuition cdeh House might act as it pleas
ed. and no previous act could tramme
ii; but under The new, both Houses
must JOIN, not in a resolution but in I
Law!
We ask your attention to the point
we have made. and would like to have
you or any person else tell US, how tn,
printing bill of this winter can be pale
when it is thus clearly not only unau
thorized. but in strict violation of lh'
constitution. You, sir, are the Office
who must pass on these accounts. The
Isw.making power cannot by resolution
override the constitution. Nor can you
sir, order any money to be paid for print
ing. except in accordance with a PRINT
ing law.
The eyes of free people are upo1
you! We expect you at least to be firm
If you are, the lsurels of Jackson AM

city, distance Of ninety miles. II is to
be delivered in New York aud New

The recent unfavorable weather has. TO
some extent. retarded operations in the

and third in the neighborhood ofAman.

miles Of the road have been graded. In
a few days. the force will be largely in
