SToRMs.--lt still remains pretty general
custom with the newspapers of the United
States to date the occurrence of storm or
other meteorological phenomena from day OF
the week instead of day of the month. For
instance, a storm is announced rs having oc.
Cured on Friday; but as there are usually four
Fridays in a month, it is not always easy, even
by referring to the date of the paper, to ascer.
tain which of those Fridays is meant, and es.
pecially as the account of the storm may be
extracted from some paper the date of which
is not given.
The time has passed when the interest at
tached to the phenomena of the air expires
with the week in which they occur. The oc.
eurrence of battle is seldom dated by mere
day of the week, and storm has become of as
much interest to large class of readers as
battle. 1t has become of as much importance
to science that its date should be accurately
fixed and transmitted for future use as it is for
the purposes of history that the date of some
great exploit should be given,
They who meet with interesting notices oi
meteorological events in the newspapers, and
would wish to preserve them for the promotion
of science, are frequently prevented from doing
so by being left wholly to conjecture as to the
exact time of their occurrence, without the
knowledge of which their value is in great
measure lost
A unifsrm rule adopted in this respect by
the newspaper press throughout the country,
always dating exclusively from day Of the
month, instead of day Of the week, and giving
the hour of the day, when practicable, would
greatly facilitate the advancement of meteo.
rology.

DEATH OF THOMAS NOON rALrouRp

We present, in another column, an interest
ing biography Of Mr.. Justice Talfourd, which
we extract from the New York Times. The
death of this eminent man was sudden and un-
expected. 1t illustrates with signal emphasis
the declaration of the inspired volume, that
I" in the midst of life we are in DEATH" He
died at Stafford of an attack of apoplexy,
which seized him whilst in the act of deliver
ing his charge TO the jury. His lordshp (says
q correspondent of the London Neacs) appeared
in his usual health on entering the court, and
it was not known that he had experienced any
symptoms of illness before taking his seat on
the bench, but on the contrary, at an early
hour, six o'clock, he was out enjoying morn
ing walk. His delivery Of the charge, however,
was characterized by much hesitation, and he
evidently had difficulty in proceeding with his
task The last sentiments that he uttered were
honorable alike to his head and heart He
was directing attention to the number of cases
Of highway robbery that occur, and, after as
signing what he regarded as some of the causes
of the increased number Of such offences, he
proceeded to speak as follows:
81 am afraid we, all Of us, keep too much
aloof from those beneath US, and whom we thus
encourage to look upon us with suspicion and
dislike. Even to our servants, we think, per.
haps, we fulfill our duty when we perform our
contract with them; when we pay them their
wages, and trust them with the civility consis-
tent with our habits and feelings; when we
curb our temper and use no violent express
sions towards them. But how painful is the
thought that there are men and women grow.
ing up around US, ministering to our comforts
and necessities, continually inmates of our
dwellings, with whose affections and nature we
are as much unacquainted as if they were the
inhabitants of some other sphere. This feeling,
arising from that kind of reserve peculiar to the
English character, does, | think, greatly tend
to prevent that mingling Of class with class, that
reciprocation Of kind words and gentle affec.
tons, gracious admonitions and kind inquiries,
which often, more than any book education,
tend to the culture Of the affections of the heart
refinement, and elevation Of the character OF
those to whom they are addressed; and if /
we're to be asked what is the great want oi
English society--to mingle class with class
would say, in one word, the want is the want OF
sympathy"
at was" says the same correspondent,
"while giving utterance to these noble senti-
ments that his auditory became greatly alarm
ed by the changed aspect of the venerable
speaker. His head fell on one side, and in an
instant it was apparent that he had been seized
BY apoplexr As quickly as possible the asso-
ciate took on his lordship's wig and united his
handkerchief, and he was carried out Of court
BY Earl Talbot, DR.. Holland, DIR. knight, (the
latter two of whom were on the grand jury,)
and the associate. His lordship was removed
to the judges lodgings, and was attended by

MISS ROBERTsON's BENEFIT-NA-
TIONAL THEATRE.

This talented, accomplished, and beautiful
actress takes her benefit tonight We have
already expressed at length our opinions of
her merits. We would urge it on all who can
appreciate dramatic exhibitions of a high
order, and genius rarely equalled, to avail
themselves of this occasion to witness Miss
Robertson's performances. She has high
European reputation. She has also won a
high name in our northern cities, where she
played to large and enthusiastic audiences.

account of its NEUROLOGICAL character, it would
be advisable to remove it; for if placed in front

energetic disapprobaton, it being forced, as it

ROMANCE OF REAL LrFE.--The Conneaut
(Ohio) Reporter records the marriage in Con-
neaut on the ] 1th of February, of Mr.. Elias
Jones TO Mrs. Della Swap. The Reporter SAYS
there is little history connected with this mar
rage, which may not be uninteresting to the
reader. About the close of the last war with
Great Britain the parties became acquainted
with each other, and in April, 1922, were mar.
ried in the county Of Genesee, New York,
against the consent and wishes Of relatives on
both sides, 4 few weeks prior to the birth Of
their second son, Bradford, now Of this place,
Mr.. j. left his family for the purpose Of pur.
chasing piece of land; and during his absence
his wife was persuaded by her relatives to de-
sert her home and husband, and reside with
them. Mr.. j., on learning the fact and being
threatened with violence if he attempted TO
claim his family, left the, country and went
I On his return, several years subsequent, he
ascertained that Mrs. j. had again married and
removed to the west. In palliation Of this
transaction, it should be stated that the wife
supposed her former husband dead and did re-
ceive tidings of his supposed loss 1t sea. Mr..
Jones Immediately returned to his vocation on
the sea, and from that period until a few weeks
since lost all trace of his wife and his two sons.
After space of twenty-five years, he chanced,
by mere circumstances, to learn the residence
of his two sons and wended his steps to this
place, where, to his qualification, he learned
that their mother was still living, and widow,
having lost her second husband after rearing
ten children, and then residing In Mercer, Penn.

Immediately started for the residence Of the part.
ner Of his youth, who at once recognised and
welcomed him to her home though she could
not have been more surprised had he risen from
the grave to confront her. The trials Of the
past were recounted, the love ofyoutl renewed,
and after o brief eourtship they were again
plighted, and the finale is recorded above. q

vacation Rambles," journal of tour in
Europe. He also wrote the Life and edited
the Remains of Charles Lamb and of Hazlitt
He leaves behind him several sonnets in man
uscript.
In 1874, he was made doctor of common law
by the University of Oxford. He was elected
three times member of Parliament for Read
ing. In 1916 he was defeated, and in l847 re-
elected. In 1850 he was made justice Of the
court of common pleas, and, consequently, was
obliged to resign his seat in the House of Com
mons. He received the intimation of his ap-
pointment as Judge when he was attending as
sizes at Stafford, the place of his death J and,
proceeding with the case he was arguing, at
its conclusion he bowed to the presiding Judge
and to the bar, who oil rose as he quilted tSe
court, the fact of his appointment having been
anticipated. He was knighted in 1850, soon
after his elevation to the bench.
Talfourd married, in 1922, Rachel, daughter
Of John lowell Rutt, esq, by whom he leaves
three children. His eldest son, Francis Tai
fourd, distinguished barrister, is also a dra-
matst, and has recently produced some very
successful farces and burlesques.
AT one time of his life, as we are reminded
by the London Times, Talfourd earned his
livelihood by reporting for the daily press. He
rose from this position to the elevated post
from which he was called by sudden death.
His name is honored wherever the English
language is spoken. In the private relations
of life, he was warmly cherished by very wide
circle of friends, including nearly all the bril-.
liant names that have adorned the annals o.
Great Britain for the last forty years.

My intention was, when determined to use
the chisel publicly, to submit plan to Con-
gress for a colossal statue founded strictly on
Houdon, to be placed on the heights of Mount
Vernon. The figure to be about twenty feet,
on column of eighty feet, including an archi-
tectural base, in which there would be an en-
trance to crypt and tomb, the sanctuary for
Washington's remains, in which light would
constantly burn. The entrance to be guarded
by two figures Religion and Liberty. From
the platform OF the monument two or more ter
races would be constructed, terminating by n
spreading flight of steps running down to and
into the water. The attitude for the figure
would be that of benediction. The eyes up
raised as though asking blessing upon his
country. How marked would be the guns

The naval device, occupying, as Mr.. Mills
says, the proper site for statue Of Washing
tom, is not only out Of place, but is entirely in
significant as monument. There can be no
doubt that it is, of all locations, the one, and
took it for granted the national statue would be
placed there. cannot think, however that if
