In 1851 a young gentleman of Massa-
chusetts had occasion to 60 from his
home, near Waltham to Newark, N. j.,
to matriculate in the College Of New
Jersey, and return home upon horse
back. He kept diary, and in that
diary all his expenses were scrupulously
written down. The voyage was made
aboard sloop. Five quarts OF New
England rum at "a cents a gallon; dozen
chickens at 81 dozen; quarter Of a
pound of tea at $4 a pound; pounds of
loaf sugar at "a cents pound; nearly
two dozen lemons and 3p0unds OF butter
money to New York. the trip lasted IS
days, was So 30. In New York our trav-
eler bought some clothes and boarded
one day, paying 60 cents Tor his. ''enter-
tainment.o His fare to Newark was
lSN cents, and In Newark his board
for five days, wash bill and delivery OF
baggage was in all 62T cents. Soon .af-
ter his arrival, and less than q month
after his former purchase, our divinity
student buys another gallon of New
England rum. A sleigh-ride from New
ark to New York COSTS Sl.06; postage on
a letter, 20 cents; making flannel jackets,
25 cents apiece. A barrel of cider which
he buys costs $1.75; horse and chaise
to the tails, 81; cooked hat, 50; board was
80 cents a week, and hickory wood $l.62
per cord. His graduation breeches cost
for materials, $3.50; making, 70 cents;
college bills, $2J; entire expenses for
twelve months, including journey home
and part payment upon horse pur-
chased, $l65. Yet this young gentleman
lived liberarly; had his little excursions,
small frolics, amusements (costing S6)
his rum, cider and ct ceteras, just like
the college boys to-day. On the eve of
graduating, and after our student had

Court Cuttings.

Judge Yaple announced his opinion
Yesterday in the matter of the appIica-
ton OF V. Worthington, a citizen and
taxpayer of the City OF Cincinnati, for
leave to file motion, lodged with the
Court, to resist the application of the
trustees OF the Southern Railroad to
have fixed their compensation as such
Trustees. Judges Tiiden and O'Conner
concurred. The application was refused
as the Court had been given the power
10 fix the compensation of such Trus-
tees, to be proportioned according to
their respective services, and which
compensation they may retain out of the
fund in their hands. The Court also had
the power to appoint Trustees and to
discharge them.

A.. Stewart, John Jacob Astor, or
some other magnitied trade dollar, is
credited with saying that, at,notw1thstand-
ing the possession OF unreckoned mil
lions, all he got from his wealth was
board and lodging. California's great
est philanthropist, james Lick, goes the
maker of this extraordinary confession
one better. Although Mr.. Lick has the
millions, he has gone tick TOR his board
the drain. This, at least, is the state
ment of DR.. Frederic Zeile, who, on
Tuesday, commenced suit in Judge
Wheclers court to recover 500, 600. DR..
Zeile sets forth that tor the past. twenty
Two years be has been Mr.. Lick's medi-
cal man, and during that time he has at
tended the philanthropist in his numer-
Gus illnesses, prescribing tor him and
furnishing nurses. During this twenty
two years DR.. Zeile has kept ON Pacltc
street hospital, where MIR. Lick has re-
manned Tor various periods, making in
the aggregate about twelve months, and
always at the DOCTORS expense. The
omplaining physician has also on sun
dry occasions taken journeys to Santa
Clara to patch up the body OF his mil
| lionaire patient, but most OF his SER
vices have been performed during the
past two years. DR.. Zeile considers that
| his professional services during the last
named periods were reasonably worth
$25, 900, and That his previous services
cannot be estimated at any lower figure
than that. The bill for board and lodg
ing DR.. Zeile places at $1,000, making
The amount due him $55,000. The
plaintiff further states that he has nevel
received any compensation from MI
Lick, who, although frequently and re
peatedly requested to fork over, has con
tumaciously and Illegally refused 10 pay
the bill or any part thereof, to the greaj
grief and injury to the plaintiff. Mr.
Lick claims, as partial set-off against
the indebtedness, that the doctor Is in
debted to him Tor the use and occupa
lion OF small slip OF ground abou
twenty-five feet wide by 100 feet long
| situated on the block. bounded by Pa
ciic, Jackson and Montgomery streets
and Montgomery avenue. The docto
AYERS that the value of such occupation
for the whole twenty-five years, is no
more than $4,000, wherefore he prays th'
honorable court to apply the legal for
ceps to the golden jaw of Mr. Lick, ant
extract therefrom u $55, 900 tooth, tn,
plaintiffs solace and comfort.

If the prudence General Sherman has
manifested in the publication OF his
ssMemoirs" is fair measuring of his
military strategy, the worst that his
critics are saying of him is very close
approximation to the truth. But for
these "Memoirs," ~ he would undoubtedly
have been elected to the Presidency at
aa early day. The people had taken it
for granted that not only Grant, but
Sherman and Sheridan, would be re-
warded with the highest honors in their
gift. But these "Memoirs" have ex-
cited so much indignation among the
subordinate officers Of the great army OF
the Rebellion, that the author can not
now expect to be even spoken OF for the
Presidency.
-asEvid hooded, unsympathetic, selfish,
proud and aristocratic, he could not ex-

tnlar heart, even should he not do injus-
lice to others whose regulations are as

tary compatriots will not feel aggrieved
at something he has printed in a shape
that is commanding very general cir

That General Sherman is a man OF
great talent we never doubted; but his
,egotism is 80 enormous that the greatest
speculation ever realized would be
eclipsed by purchasing him at his true
worth and selling him at the value he
outs on himself. Still we never discount

summer" is fast approaching, and most
of those whose means and opportunities
will allow are already making their az
rangements for few weeks or months
in the country where "cbange of air"
can be obtained. This custom seems to
be gaining ground, and, from fashion,
able requirement, has become recog-
nized means of gaining health and rest,
and of escaping the terrors of life in a
csmpactly built city during the summer
months. AS such it is worthy Of careful
thought, and should be acted upon in
teiligently in order that the time and
money may not be thrown away and the
health endangered by the operation,
as is too often the case. Visitors
to the "springs" or to the fashion
able watering places on the sea
orlake shore are often surprised to find
that the change does not seem to better
their condition, but that they return
after stay of months and after an
enormous expenditure with no improve
ment either physically or mentally.
Visitors to the country and to the noun
tain regions frequently have similar
experience, and consequent disap-
pointment ensues and the victim de-
spondingly wonders why he is not i'm
proved by the change. The fact is that
the 'sfresh air" at the sea side, among
the mountains, on the prairies, or at the.
lake shore, as there is between quinine |
and calomel, or alcohol and opium, and |
the same care should be exercised in a
selection of the kind of air for the condi-
tion of the system, as in the selection Of |
medicines by the physician Tor his pa
tient. Every one might with little
study know the differences in the quail
ity Of the atmosphere he is to breathe at
a certain place, and by taking COM
petent advice suit the location to
the requirements of the system.
For the want of this knowledge fre-
quently find invalids whose conditions
require a strong tonic in the air they
breathe going to location which, from
its very nature, furnishes an atmosphere
damp and enervating, while others
whose condition is such as to require
this atmosphere are found seeking health
on the mountain side or at some most
unsuitable place. Not only does criti-
cism OF this kind apply to invalids. but
as well to families who 60 out OF town

quently they take board in the country
or on the lake or sea shore, where they
imagine they are getting ''fresh air." and
that they must improve by it, while in
reality they are being poisoned by the
atmosphere from swamps few miles
away, or from adjacent piggeries and
other denominations worse by far than
could be found in the most filthy alley in
Cincinnati. These facts, combined with
the change of diet, water, and general
habits, cause the majority of trips out of
town for the summer months to prove Sc
rious njnries rather than benefits. These
i'll effects might easily be avoided by a
little thought, judicious advice, and care
in the manner of living, and the s'season
out OF town" thus be made both pleasant
and profitable instead of costly, uncom-
Portable, and injurious to health.
