AN INSTANCE OF MISPLACED CoNFI
DENCE.-Before Cornelius Vanderbilt OBJ
tanned possession of the Hudson River rail-
road he was one day travelling from here to
Albany, and considering himself privileged
character, went into the baggage-car to smoke.
He had been enjoying his cigar but two or
three minutes when the conductor came
along and informed him politely that he mnst
not smoke there. Vanderbilt said il wouldn't
make any dIfference-that was all right, etc.
but the conductor was of different opinion,
declaring that it was contrary to the rules OF
the load. You do not know me-" said the
smoker. "My name is Vanderbilt: I am
sometimes called commodore. generally do
about as / p ease.' / don't know, nor do 1
care who you are, Mr.. Vanderbilt. 1 intend
to obey the rules If you were ten times a
commodore, could not permit you to smoke
here; and you must go elsewhere to finish
your cigar" The loyalty to duty displayed
by the conductor pleased the ancient Corne-
| Illus, and he went out, though not before he
| said to the conductor: "You are the right
kind of a man for your place. You don't
respect persons. think of buying this road,
! and if / do. you can stay on it as long as
| you like" Vanderbilt did buy the road, and
| retained the conductor. He frequently re-
marked that that man could be trusted; that
he never was mistaken in judging of char
acter; and he knew from the first that the
conductor was sound. The conductor staid
! on the road five wears, and in that time, as
| the story goes. stole himself into pecuniary
| Independence. So much for Vanderbilts
knowledge of character. Evidently the con-
ducttor knew Vanderbilt better than Wander
bilt knew the conductor.-Ne1 York Letter.

The Sun AND THE WEATHER. We note
hrst that, besides being the great ''domina-
ting force to which all natural phenomena
connected with climate are due, the sun has
special influence on all the most noteworthy
variations of weather. The seasons are due
10 solar influence; and here we have an in
stance OF power of prediction derived from
solar study, though belonging to date so re-
mote that we are apt to forge. the fact. 1t
seems so obvious that summer will be on the
whole warmer than winter, that we overlook
the circumstance that, at some epoch or other
this fact, at least in its relation to the appar-
ent motions of the sun, must have been rec
ognized as a discovery. Men must have at
one time learned, or perhaps we should rath-
er say each race of men must at one time
nave noticed, that the varying warmth on
Which the processes of vegetation depend,
corresponds with the varying diurnal course
oi the sun. SO soon as this was noticed, and
SO soon as the periodic nature of the suns va
rying motions had been ascertained, men had
acquired IN effect the power of predicting
that, at particular times or seasons, the wea-
ther on the whole would be warmer than at
other seasons, In other words, so soon as
men had recognized the period we call the
year, they could predict that one-half of each
year would be warmer than the other half.
Simple as this fact may Feem, it is important
to notice it as the beginning Of weather pre-
diction; for, as will presently appear, it has
an important bearing on the more complex
questions at present involved IN the prognos-
ucatl;n OF weather changes.-From Popular

PHILADELPHIA, Oct 16.-Official returns of
the election shows the follow Republican ma
jorities in the city:-Gordon, for Judge, 1925;
Mockey. State treasurer, 25 All; Elliot, sheriff,
1S,447; Widener, city treasurer, 20, 638; Lannon's
majority for the Senate in the third district
over Maggie, dem, is 1854. The total vote on the
license question is 1910. The majority in ia
vor license is 81, 494.
COLUMBUS, Oct. 16-The result of the vote
for Governor is still in some doubt at this hour,
midnight. The Republicans are now claiming
the election by 1000 or more majority. At the
Democratic headquarters, where they claim to
have reports from all counties but Manoning,
Paulding, Huron and Mercer, the State is
claimed by majority of 100 or thereabouts.-
Ashtabuia county gives Noyes 1884; Allen, 900;
a Republican loss of 1862. Official returns from
Franklin county give Allen majority of 2297,
Democratic gain of about 200.
The figures made at midnight by both par
ties are exceedingly close. The latest figures
are to the effect that the Democratic gain in
ten or eleven counties which have only been
heard from through rumors will not have to be
so large as the average gain of other counties to
elect Allen by a small majority. If Allen
should be elected by a majority less than 500
there will still be doubt on the balance of the
State ticket Meagre returns ON other State of
fcers indicate that the Republican candidate
for Governor ran a little behind his ticket.

indicate that two thirds of the number will be
Republican, making total Republican men,

In the Senate, of the new Senators 10 are

that in two doubtful districts Republicans are
elected.

THE WORKINGS OF THE REVENUE LAVA
good deal of complaint has been made for some
time past among certain class of manufac-
turers of the injustice done them by the action
of the Internal Revenue officers Recently, a
prominent firm that deals largely in patent
medicines has been called to pass through the
same unpleasant experience which has befalen
others. 1t appears that some four years since
Supervisor Wolcott Hamiin of this district
called. upon the firm above mentioned, exam
ined the stock and decided that certain class
of articles manufactured and sold by them were
exempt from stamp duty. This decision was
given in the presence of Collector Rollins of
this city. Acting under this instruction, the
firm did not affix revenue stamps upon that
class of goods. On the Sth day of October two
men came from Boston, one calling himself q.
M. Horton and representing himself as the
agent of the Internal Revenue department; the
other introduced himself as Detective Dunbar
of Boston, They asked to be allowed to look
over the mandatory. Their request was COM
piled with, and they spent some time in exam
ming the stock. Finally they came to the arti-
ole in question, 1t was explained to them why
it was not stamped. They, protesting to know
better than Supervisor Hamlin or Collector Rol-
Inns, declared the article must be stamped. Not
only that they demanded of the firm the
amount that would have been expended for
stamps for the past ten years, had the law as
they announced it, been complied with The
sum, which amounted to only $114, was paid to
them under protest. In this particular case it
is true the amount involved is small, but the
principle and practice applied in this case
would apply equally to cases involving thou
sands. The above statement of the case is
giuen just as it was made by the firm in ques-
ton, and reveals one phase Of the intricaces of
the, Internal Revenue law. 1t is understood
that a petition is now being circulated among
the manufacturers and dealers in medicines and
drugs for a clear and simple statement of the
meaning of the law or the part of the officials
at Washington.
