THE POCKET ARGUMENT.

The new Constitution establishes .
system OF government that is cheaper
than the present one, no matter what
Radical mathemsticians may assert to
the contrary. There is an actual saw
ing in every department, Legislative,
Executive, and Judicial. The biennial
sessions Of the Legislature and the pro-
hibition Of special legislation will, Of

How a " Corner ,, wns Got up by Two Firms
of Architects--The Matter in the Courts.
On the 9th Of July last, Leon G. Wa1ch and
Armstrong Co., all architects, entered into
an agreement to share whatever might be re-
ceived from the Commissioners Of Cook County
for plans for Jail and Criminal Court build
ing. On the 7th of August, the Commission
'ers adopted the plans Of Armstrong d Co., and
on the 29th Of August awarded the sum Of
81, 49,. 359 to that firm, whereupon Welch de-
manoaua his share Of the plunder, but
was refused. Welch yesterday fled 3
bill in.the Superior Court, praying for an in
junction restraining the County Treasurer from
paying, and said Armstrong Co. from receiv-
ing or assigning the award; and an injunction
was issued pending the hearing Of the cause.
Armstrong d Co. and Welch each presented plans

REAL ESTATE coNvEEAScEs IN CINCINNATI.
The following is from q leading real estate
lawyer in Cincinnati, in answer to an inquiry as
to cost of examinations Of title in that city, pre-
system, which is just now in discussion here.
He says: Tt is still the custom here for the
proposed purchaser Of real estate to have the
title examined at his own expense. That ex-
Pense depends very much upon the difficulty Of
Of tho property Some titles, e. of even vor5
and ap@0s shor ropS Compared s rith b' othsPs sPs
4 full abstract commences with the
title Of John Cleyes symmes to all the lands be-
tween the two Miami Rivers, from their mouths
to a line many miles north Of this city. It may
happen that certain tract may have passed
through 50 or more hands, down to date Of ex-
animation; and many legal questions may also
be involved, aa to formal deeds, &C., dc. The
cost Of u full abstract, in such a case, may be
very considerable. We have rarely received
over 5000 for any abstract that we have ever
nude, but the average price to us, would not be
half this sum. We think the experience Of
most respectable lawyers, who have been at the
bar about the same length of time, pretty
nearly corresponds with our own.'
THE LAKE VIEW CEMETERIES.
For year or two past there has been q con-
test between the cemetery companies and some
Of the more prominent Of the real estate owners
in the Town OF Lake View, the former claiming
the right to extend the cemeteries, and the lat
ter not only denying this and claiming that they
should be restricted to ground already devoted
to that purpose, but asking, in come instances,
for judicial decisions that might ultimately be
considered legal authority for the removal Of the
cemeteries altogether. In order to show the ex-
tent Of the interests involved, We give the fol-
lowing summary OF the extent and location Of
View and their contiguity to the city as meas
ured from the north end Of Lincoln Park, going
in a northwest direction from the Park On the

Thunder and Love.

They tell about blooming young widow
IN Darby who used to live next door to Mr..
Smith, who was wldower and a timid man,
whose mild eyes beamed blandly through his
spectacles. This widow had kindness for
Smith, and he reciprocated it; but he had hard
~ enough courage to carry on the campaign.
80 at last the widow pretended to be terribly
afraid Of thunder and lightning, and whenev-
or she sawa gust coming up she used to smooth
her HAIR and rush into Mr. Smiths house
linen, when she heard peal of thunder, she
would scream and rush up and throw her arms
around the neck OF the mildeye Smith, I'M
plore him to protect her, ard Smith sad he
would. Then she would faint, and Smith
would be half glad and half sorry About
SIX thunder storms settled the business, and
now she is Mrs, Smith; anu Smith-hei is ouiy
sorry that her apprehensions of the lightning
were not realized. He says il there ever was
woman who ought 20 have been torn into
pieces by electricity, it is that widow. She
has thunder storms every day now in Smiths
house, and 1t Is lively and vigorous for Smith
