A Curious Dispute.

1t does not seem to admit of much dis
pute that mans birthday is the day of
his birth, and in most companies anyone
trying to get up an argument on the point
would De promptly suppressed as dis
putatious nuisance. Yet there has been
long correspondence in the Times, late
ly, concerning the birthday of Earl Rus
SELL in the course of which it has been
maintained as a serious proposition, not
to be contested by anyone acquainted
with the ordinary usage of the English
language, that the day on which man is
born cannot properly be called his birth
day. ,.. s.tt ti.t. 4.a... ..
Indeed, there have been SO many con-
flicting statements concerning the veteran
statesman's birthday that some perplexed
readers of the Times have been driven
to the conclusion that he was never
born at all. First the Times quoted
from contemporary paragraph to the
effect that Sunday, the 9th of August,
was His Lordship's eighty-fifth birthday
Next correspondent with turn for
arithmetic wrote to say that, as Earl Rus
sell was born in 1902, Sunday, the 5th,
must be his eighty-sixth and not his
eighty.fifth birthday. A second corre-
spondent, signing "Clapham Park, wrote
contemptuously in reply TO this, saying
that ifthe first correspondent were not
very ignorant person he would see that,
although Earl Russell was born in 1909,
Sunday, the 5th, was still bis eightyIfifth
and not his eighty.sixth birthday, be-
cause the word birthday" implied the
idea of an anniversary. According to
this view, mans first birthday is not
the day of his birth but the first return
of the day of his birth. ,..l.......l,.
We are inclined, after mature consider
alton, TO differ from this ingenious gram.
marian, but we must do him the justice
to admit that he has raised very subtle
point in regard to the usage of the word,
over which body of grammarians might
dispute for weeks, and write many pages
Of delicate Considerations without com
ing to a conclusion, There could not be
better illustration OF the confusion
into which merely human and not inspired
analytical minds fall when they try to
determine the exact meaning of word

Tunnoling the British Channel.

Operations connected with the sub
marine tunnel have already been com.
menced on the other side of the channel,
several pits having been sunk to the depth
of about 10 yards. At the same time
the French and English committees have
definitely drawn up the conditions of
working for the route. The property of
the tunnel is to be divided in half by the
length-that is to say, each company
will possess half of the line, reckoning
the distance from coast to coast at low
tide. Each company will cover the ex-
pense of its portion. The general work
of excavation will be done on the one
hand by the Great Northern of France,
and on the other by the Chatham and
Southeastern Companies, the two latter
having each direct route from London.
to Dover All the materials of the French
and English lines will pass through the
tunnel in order to prevent any unnecessa-
ry expenses and delay of transshipment,
as in England and in France railway
companies use each others lines, and
goods can pass from one line to another
without changing vans. 1t is understood
that an arrangement will be established
for similar exchange of lines between
all the English and Continental railway
companies when the tunnelis completed.
The tunnel will belong to its founders.
At the expiration of thirty years the two
Governments will be able take posses
sion of the tunnel upon certain condi-
tions,-L London NeaoS

Emigration to Kansas or Texas.

The admirable arrangement adopted
by the Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati
& indianapolis Railway Company for
transporting Colonies to the West and
Southwest during the spring of 1877,
gave such general satisfaction, that they
have decided to give to their patrons the
same facilities during the autumn of
1877. Their combined day and sleeping
colonist cars will run from Cleveland to
st. Louis without change, leaving Cleve-
land each Tuesday afternoon at 2:35 and
arriving at st. Louis at $3.50 next morn
ing in time for all Western and South
western connections. The @. G. Q. & l.
is also the shortest route to Kansas, and
the only direct route to Texas points.
These cars are provided with large
stove adapted to heating water, so that
passengers can make their own tea and
coffee at their convenience, together with
tank and drain for drinking water and
purposes of ablution. Still further, the
seats are provided with movable con-
nection, so that when the backs of two
seats are turned to face each other, and
the connecting shelf is adjusted, very
comfortable bunk may be made for the

as determined that the party should al.
ways with him, and as he desired,
He regarded the party as an agent to
carry out the principles of justice and
right, and as such TO be sustained under
all circumstances, but he never failed at
the same time to assert what was the
justice and right which heparty should
protect, defend and promote. 'r
Mr.. Morton, throughouthis public life,
though deeply engaged in party combi.
nations and responsible largely for the
distribution OF party patronage, escaped
even the suspicion of any interest in cor.
ruption. HIS personal integrity was an.
questioned. He, within few years,
made himself the leader of his party in
the Senate and in Congress. His success
was rapid and substantial. The secret
of his success may be placed to the credit
of his personal integrity, his untiring in
dustry, his ability, the force of his pc
culiar oratory, his mastery of facts, clear.
ness of statement, and to his aggressive
ness. He was always prepared with a
word and blow, and they were always
used together. .... ..
Mr.. Morton has left no equal in the
Senate. There are other men more
learned and brilliant, but none who can
exercise the power of control over the
public mind and over the Senate that he
has done. He has been in the Republican
party much like what Douglas was in the
Democratic party, and it will be difficult
to find another to fill the vacancy he has
left. Able, powerful in debate, aggres.
sive and intolerant, honest and patriotic,
sincere and unwearying, the name of SEN
ator Morton is deeply impressed on the
pages of his country's history, and in
future times he will be ranked among
the great statesmen of the Republic

urer, with the aid of friends, stole over
100000 of public money and tried very
hard to have two innocent men convicted
of the crime. He was sentenced by a
Democratic Judge to five years in the

young men in the same county stole some
