early cry OF the newsboys, and the black
berry iiend. Some OF tho most delightful
nelghborhoods IN tho city are rendered a.
most unbearable by the inoessant ringing OF
church and school bells. II has often occurred
TO us that the police and sanitary regula-
lions we're strangely deficient In this regard.
TO those persons afflicted with nervous com
plants and morbid and nervous tempera-
ments--and there are more Of these sufferers
than ofauy other kind-th these noises are quite
as disturbing and dangerous as the stencil
and mlasma OF cesspools and accumulated
filth The latter are forbidden, and care taken
to provide against their evil effects, and we
see no reason why the noises should not be
made the object Of police and sanitary regu-
lntlons as well.

The crusade against noisy nuisances in New
York appears to be taking an earnest shape,
THE baby carriage case of Pool VS.. Higgen-
son. of which the New York papers we're full
on wednesday last. is followed by the suit Of
Mrs. Henry, vs. Mrs. Pettigrew, to abate a
knocking bird. whose thrill and ceaseless mu-
sic Is the hane Of Mrs. Henry's existence.
This suit was compromised by Mrs. Petit
grew agreeing to hang the birds cage IN q
back room. Ii is matter of profound aston
ishment that people in cities have so long en-
dured such petty annoyances without q sys-
tematlc effort being made to abate them. To
sick and nervous people they are a source OF
great misery and acute physical suffering,
but even to ordinary people they are Excess
sively disagreeable.
1t is the commonest of things, indeed so
common, that the neighborhoodt that is not dis
ttlrbed by some such nuisance is exceptional,

such noisy pet tomakea dozen families miser-
able BY the hour. But these are not the only
nnisances 81 the kind which should not be al

excuse. Chief among these are the cries Of

GREAT JACKSON ROUTE.
THE QUICKEST TIME EAST.

This line Is now making the quickest time
to New York ever known, leaving New Or
leans daily at 5 as p. m. and arriving at New
York at 6 :35 a. m. Allowing for the difference
in time between the two cities, the run is
made In the unprecedented time fifty
and three quarter hours. This quick time
Is made only by the Great Jackson route,
and is the result of its enterprise in rebuild
ing its track at great expense with steel rails.
Only one change of cars, which is made at
Columbus, o., where breakfast is taken In the
splendid dining hall at that place at q. m.
This route also makes the quickest time to
Boston, arriving at 40 p. m. Actual running
time, sixty-seven and one-half hours. The
time to all intermediate points is correspond
ingly less, thus making this the quickest and
best route to all the Northern and Eastern cities.
Excursion tickets to Waukesha, Oconomo-
voc and all the Northwestern summer re-
sorts, to Niagara Falls, Put-in-Bay, ETC., are
time made by any line, and only one change
of cars.

THE COMMITTEES WORK.

No clearer exposition of the unmitigated ras-
eality and reckless malignity of the methods
employed la Louisiana by the Republican
party in 1876 could possibly be given than Is
TO be- found in the record of the proceedings
Of the Steng8r subcommittee on Saturday.
The character of the testimony manufae-
tured by the Radicals visiting statesmen"
ineluded-upon the strength of which the
voters of Louisiana were disfranchised, the
whole people of the United States defrauded,
and defeated candidate indicted into
the presidency was clearly set forth
| in the examination of Riley Nor
| tIiss, who, while acknowledging that he
had testified before the Howe committee in
January, 1877, substantiating the Custom
House affidavit, stupidity persisted in swear
ing that he did not make the statements set
down In the official record; yet we doubt not
that Gov. Cox will gravely urge-as was
glavely urged by the visiting statesmen
that In 1876, Riley Nortliss was an intelligent,
credible and truthful witness, upon whose
testimony the Republican case was fairly
made out, fully justified and rightly success
full
Yet more damning was the evidence given
by Amy Mitchell, widow Of the murdered Ike
Mitchell of West Feicana, whose fraudulent
Custom House affidavit was paraded before
the eyes of the North, and Haunted In the
face OF the South as unimpeachable evidence
of the terrorism exerted in that parish by the
so-called Democratic bulldozers.
Yet not even the astute Cox was able In the
course of an exhaustive cross-examination TO
shake in the slightest degree her testimony
that the Custom-House affidavit purporting
| to have been made by her was manufactured
out of whole cloth; that she never made a
single statement therein contained, and could
not have done So inasmuch as she knew moth
ing Of the circumstances attending her hus-
bands death; that at the time she testified
| before the Howe committee she was still I'M
der the influence of the fear attendant upon
the killing of her husband, and testified to
whatever she was told, knowing no better !;
and that she would have said anything she
was told to say, and did in fact repeat, parrot
like, the story prepared for her by the Radical
managers who had her In charge.
Two years ago, this poor, timfd, ignorant
negro woman figured in the Radical chron-
ioles as an angel of light whom to doubt was
worse than blasphemy. but now she will be
denounced by her whilom worshipers as a
Judas in petticoats, utterly unworthy of Gre
dence.
Such is politics-as practieed by the Re-
publtCans.

Chicago and St. Louis have locked horns
and renewed their war. 1t was only yester-
aay fight of directories and population; it
~ today a quarrel over the weather and Their
moneters. The death Of fifty-fOur persons by
heat in one day in ST. Louis afforded the chi
Cago papers q fine opportunity 10 picture the
unhealthiness, the danger Of st. Louis. Ii
they did this In rather exaggerated and SEN
sntional STYLE IL is not to be wondered at, as
hynprbole IA 80 natural to Chicago. Dante
was evidently studied by the Chicago journal
fgtg before they drew their terrible pictures OF
4 rival city which they expressively entitled
s'the doomed city"
# According To these journals the people Of
Sc. Louis were thoroughly panic-stricken by
the heat and were fleeing to some place ol
snfety--ChCago prinCipaliy-fOr air and life
III was n great triumph for Chicago, and st
louis wrigglod in tortures under the charges
The st. Louis papers, however, have taken
I'M the gauntlet and are now engaged In writ
ing up Chicago in summer, "or the stricken
city" as they call 1t. Just as the deaths from
heat commenced to fall off in st. Louis sun
strokes suddenly became common in Chicago
The st. Louis refugees found ''the Lake City
hotter than their own and fled at once from
that supposed haven of refuge.
seThe present occasion, says the st. Louis
Republican "s one when st. Louis can a
least manifest her sympathy, as it Is not t
be doubted she will. Chicago can rest assured
that If st. Louis does not seek to aid her IL
her affection it is from no want of will.
1t is very much like the story of the tive
crows quarreling over their respective black
ness. IT seems impossible, however, to re
strain the combattiveness OF these two riva
Villages. II Chicago can only show that st
Louis has had three thousand persons stricken
bv the heat to its two thousand, 1t will b.
happy and triumphant.

A sweet girl graduate of Ann Arbor Michi-
gan, took for the subject OF her graduating
essay 'My Lovers" and startled the assem-
bly, generally and the young gentlemen par
ticularly by giving the name of every one

infinitely the style of his wooing. Never
before was the golden quality of silence 80

They then returned their minute books to
the governors rs they had been directed to
do, and received from the commissioners
instructions to go back to the ninth mile
post and begin again to retrace the line
The instructions of the commissioners are
both instructive and curious, but are too
long TO be inserted here.
On the 18th of July, Jonathan Hall was
appointed II surveyor on the part of Mary

One of the two last named was appointed
to fill the place Of John Watson, who died
about this time. The surveyors met with
many difficulties and their minute book is
full of entries about the swamps and mill

However, they completed the due north
line on the cath of October. 1t terminated
near the road leading from Head of Elk to
New Castle. The commissioners soon
afterwards met at New Castle and rave

due north line, which they proceeded to
locate and measure Immediately afterwards

Messrs. John Lukens, Archibald MCLEAN,
Thomas Garrett and Jonathan Hall appears
to have terminated with this line and no
thing more of practical nature was done
toward settling the dispute till the 18th of
November, 1863, at which time Messrs.

been employed by the commissioners at the
instance of the proprietors of the respective
provinces, landed at Philadelphia and i'm
