Mr.. HAYES went to Chester, Pa, to see
RoaCh's big ship launched On his way
he was not accompanied by any notable
man no crowds gathered along the line
to see him and at Chester the people
looked at him and that was all. Of
course the authorities paid him every at
tention, but no cheers greeted, all was
silent and cold. In fact it was snub.

So Montgomery Blair's resolution was
presented in the United States Senate
last week by the Maryland Senator, Mr..
Dennis, who made a stump speech
against it, proclaiming his fidelity to the
Presidential fraud, because he helped to
install him in the White House. We
hope Maryland will deal with him prop
erly and soon.

OLD Madison Wells, to whom Hayes
owes the Presidency, is in Washington,
and gets around among Sherman and the
others somewhat. 1t is said Mr.. Sher-
man extended to him "his moral sympa-
thy" "Blsst your moral sympathy"
said Wells, "if it was deep enough to
reach to hell and back, it wouldn't have
taken me out of jail" Wells is an old
reprobate anyhow, but he made Hayes
President.

TIMES are hard in England, but her
able financial managers Contrive to show
a surplus every year. For the year just
ended the estimated revenue was G79-
100000, and the estimated expenditure
e78.794O44, leaving an estimated surplus
Of G225.956. This surplus now turns out
to be G6l4.000. These results are the
more remarkable as they have been ac-
complished in the face of a constantly
decreasing rate Of taxation.

THE Maryland resolutions Of Mont.
gomery Blair, on the Presidential fraud,
were presented in the House on Monday
last by Mr.. Swami, and raised quite a
breeze on the question of what to do
with them. Garfield and the Republi-
cans wanted the House to refuse to re-
ceive them, thus denying the right of
petition. But the Speaker seemed to
think they should be received and go to
committee, and this was the view of
Stephens, Cox and others. A special
order intervening, the question was not
disposed Of. 1t is refreshing to see the
Republican leaders of the Hayes faction
in the House objecting to the right of
petition. Thompson, of Penna., wanted
to send them to a special committee, for
which he was soundly rated by his Re-
publican colleagues.

DECISION IN THE CANAL CASE.

The State of Ohio brought suit against
the lessees of the Ohio Canal in the Su-
perior Court of Montgomery county to
recover the rent due. The lessees plead
ed that the State had taken possession
of portions of the canal valuable to
them, whereby their interests were great
ly damaged, and for that reason they
had abandoned the canals to the State,
and were no longer liable for the rent.
To this answer the State demurred. The
case was fully argued before Judge
Haines by the Attorney General of the
State, Mr. Pillars, and ex Attorney Gen.
eral Little on behalf of the State, the
lessees were represented by Judge Ran
ney, Mr.. DOugherty and John c. Gran.
mis- Esq.
The demurrer was overruled by the
Court, which substantially decides that
the lessees had the right to abandon the
lease and turn the canals over to the
State. The Legislature should now take
prompt measures to assume charge of
the canals.

PERvERsE DAYs.-There are certain times
in each mans life when everything goes
wrong. By kind of total depravity,
which extends to things material; what
ever happens seems to become new wild
animal in the menagerie, and ones life,
for the time being, is q fearful snar. A
friend of ours calls these seasons, not map
propriately, devil days" For instance,
you hunt all over the room for pencil,
which you are sure you have seen within
five minutes, and having lost both patience
and temper, find it at last behind your ear.
You are in hurry and want a pelknife.-
You always keep it in one place, because
you know that some time you will get be-
logged, just as you are now; but when you
put your hand out to take it it is not there.
Then you fret and scold and VOW that
somebody has surreptitiously entered the
room and purloined it. After you have
fumcd yourself into fever you look again,
and there it is, lying in its accustomed
place, just as serenely as a child in its era
die. You were looking straight at it and
didn't see it. Then the whole household,
which you have set to hunting it up, and
each individual member of which you have
accused of having it in his pocket, rushes
in and asks you where you found it, and
makes you feel like an idiot when you con-
TESS that it was just where they all told
you it was These are the things which
| make one wish he had never been born.

TIE HOTTEST Spot ON EARTH.-One of
the hottest regions of the earth is along the
Persian Gulf, where little or no rain falls.
At Bahrin the arid shore has no fresh wa
ter, yet comparatively numerous popula-
ton contrive to live there thanks to the
copieus springs which burst forth from the
bottom of the sea. The fresh water is got
by diving. The diver, sitting in his boat,
winds a great goat-skin bag around his
left arm, the hand grasping its mouth :;
then he takes in his right hand heavy
stone, to which is attached line, and thus
equipped he plunges in and quickly
reaches the bottom. Instantly opening the
bag over the strong jet of fresh water, he
springs up the ascending current, at the
same time closing the bag, and is helped
aboard. The stone is then drawn up, and
the diver, after taking breath, plunges in
again. The source of these copious sub
marine springs is thought to be in the
green hills of Osma1, some five OF six hun
dred miles distant.

WHAT KILLED HIM.-A few years ago,
when Judge Gould, of Troy, lately deceas.
ed, was holding court in that city, pris-
oner was being tried before him for wilful
murder, in causing the death of man by
a pistol shot. An eminent physician and
surgeon was on the stand as witness for
the defence.
The prisoners counsel, an adroit lawyer,
attempted to show that the man, who lived
some little time after being shot, might
have died from some other cause, and ex-
amined his witness after this style.
Doctor, would not such thing cause
death q
sob yes, sir"
"Well, doctor might not this man have
died from such and such causes ?'
"Oh yes, lie might"
"This is quite sufficient for us, exclaim-
ed the defendants counsel, with an air Of
triumph, twirling his eye-glass.
Judge Gould turned in his seat, bent his
large, keen, penetrating black eyes full on
the witness, and said, little sharply:
doctor, you have now told us what
might have caused this mans death what
did cause his death 2"
"1he bullet, sir!" answered the witness.
That ended the case.
