The argument on the appeal taken by Theodore

was heard in the General Term of the City Court of
Brooklyn yesterday morning, Judges Nelson and
Reynolds presiding. At II O'Clock the Judges
entered the courtroom. Messrs. Tracy and Shear

then the room began TO fill with spectators. Among
those who occupied seats within the railing were

Alderman Whitney Judge McCue, William Van

of the argument ex-Judge S. d. Morris, William A.

Tiltnn appeared. The proceedings were opened by
Gen. Pryor During his argument Francis D. Moul-
ton came into court and sat down beside
Judge Fullerton. There were several sharp
verbal struggles between the opposing counsel and
some harsh things said. After these were over, Mr.
Beach made long argument to show that if Judge
McCues order was sustained the plaintiff would be
deprived Of the privilege of introducing circum-
stantlal evidence. Judge Nelson said that de-
cison would be rendered to-day at II o'clock. 1t is
probable that Judge McCues order will be so mod-

she made a mistake proves that she is

like Miss Braddon, but no doubt it is as
a means to rare literary dissipation; her
tastes of course abide in higher regions
and descend only occasionally.
Soen she pronounced the name OF one
of our own writers--a lady who writes
out of the purity of a large, warm
heart-pronounced the name with earn
est praise. This atoned for Miss Bran
don, but only for a moment, for being
interrogated she admitted that she had
not read any of this ladys writings but
had seen her as a summer visitor IN her
own place of residence.
But severer shock was impending.
Resumipg the revelation Of her literary
preferences, she said with an enthusiasm

Miss Braddon grow green with jealousy,
But like Mrs. Southworth best of ALL

faded from the auburn hair and left it
dull and dowdy; the blue eyes dwindled

state Dinners at the White House.


The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette says, in writing of
State dinners at the White House: A
gentleman bearing the fortunate name
of Luckey has the delicate task of ar
ranging the guests, so that they may not
do injustice to the occasion by feeling
themselves improperly plAced at the
table. After the acceptances from the
invited guests have been received land
you know Presidents invitation must
always be accepted unless death.bed
prevents, vide Mrs Dalgren on Eli
quetteO, Mr.. Luckey consults the
Blue Book as to the rank and title of
each one, and after satisfactory in
vestigation, draws a diagram of the
table, with the places each guest is to
occupy at the forthcoming feast. Then
bill of fare, with the happy individual $
name attached, is placed at each respec-
tive place, and an envelope containing
two cards, one with ledy's name and
the other with that of thu gentleman on
his arrival. The Presidents expected to
give them from time to time, until every
Senator, Congressman, and foreign Off
cial has been duly honored These
dinners average about $500 apiece, and
are quite long, ceremonious, and not
particularly agreeable affairs, but then
the honor Of being invited puts all dis
comforts at a discount. The table is
loaded with flowers, and exquisite bou-
quets decorate every plate. All the
silver at command is wisely set for show.

Report Of Canton Union School.

Gentlemen of the Board of Education
In accordance with the requirements of
the rules, 1 have the pleasure of present.
ing you my ninth annual report. The
mast year has developed good results gen.
orally, in all departments OF the school
work; teachers and pupils have been
faithful in their duties; the order and dis
cipline of the school have been maintained
with greater efficiency, and with Tess de-
mand for severe measures, than during
any previous year Of my connection with
them; corporal punishment has gradually
yielded In the majority of cases requiring
discipline to milder forms, with even more
beneficial results; and. though IN q few
cases occurring from time to time, the
rod has been used pretty effectively by
different teachers, and it would be disas-
trous to proper and complete discipline,
to forbid its use entirely, it Is gratifying to
know, that the teachers see n appreci-
ate with me, the necessity a-ndimportance
in the best training Of the young, Of avoid
ing the use of the rod except in the most
urgent OF extreme cases. As q natural
result of good order in the school, of dill
gence on the part of the pupils, and devo-
ted, faithful labor by the teachers, the
work done in all the grades of the schools
will stand any fair test Of rigid critical ex-
animation.
There has, also, been some Improvement
in punctuality and regularity of attend
ance in all the schools, while in q few, the
improvement has been very remarkable
IN these schools, public sentiment among
the pupils themselves has put Hardness
and unnecessary absence at a discount.
Another years concert OF attention and
labor among the teachers, in this direction.
will accomplish still better results, and
will, I think, almost Danish hardness and
absence, except from actual necessity from
our schools. Whilst owing to the pres
enoe of measles and other contagious dis
eases among the children, 1.-The attendance
in the primary schools has been much re-
ducsd, and the per centage Of attendance
will not; therefore, be much larger thar
in former years, the whole number of chill
dren now attending is greater than Of any
previous period. Compared with last yea
the attendance has been as follows:

The CAT OUT OF THE BAe:-We have
been reliably informed OF an earnest lady of
the crusade in this vicinity, who had iv-
ing with her q youth whom she, ] n part,
had raised. A short time since, she was
Mortified to find the young man IN = state
of jointless intoxieation, and as he refused
to inform her where he had obtained the
hquor, she, naturally enough, reported
him to the grand jury, then in session.
On appearing before that august body, the
youth was constrained by his solemn oath
te tell where he had procured the whisky
that had made him drunk, and after an
embarrassed hesitation he slowly declared
that in the absence of his mistress he had
procured keys, unlocked her cupboard
and drank the liquor from a jug which
she always kept there. This lady was the
wife OF a physician and had long lived in
the belief that q little of the ardent was 9
medicinal necessity in the household, but
We hope she has been clearly convinced to
the contrary.

TIE Balser case before the Mayor is
not yet concluded. The report of
the hearing thus far will be found in an,
other column of this paper. 1t must be
remembered that Mr.. Mrs. Balser were
accused of resisting the officers of the law,
when the said officers sought to arrest
them for creating disturbance and using
very bad language. The question there
fore in the case was not temperance or
anti.tsmpsFancs at all. So in the Ely
case last week before Esquire Grimes. The
case there was not temperance, but Mr..
Ely was charged with assaulting Mrs.
Balser, and all Esquire Grimes had to dc
was to hear patiently the Law and the tes-
| timony in the case, and decide according
a q Just Judge. After due consideration
of the laz and the testimony, Justic'
Grimes decided that Mr.. Ely had moi
committed an assault, and hence the 40.
cused was discharged. Justice Grimes, i
will be seen, therefore, had no question o
temperance or crusade before him.
