CHANGE-OE-GRAD DAMAGES.
The frequency OF judgments against the city
for damages resulting from change OF grade is
beginning to alarm taxpayers not little. Suits
are now pending which, If decided against the
city, will take at least S150000 out Of the Treas
ury, and other suits are in embryo, involving
damages to the amount of S100, ,U03 more These
last will be brought by E. F. Allis, James
SherifIs, and others on account OF changes in
the grades Of Clinton and other streets On the
South Side. To show the facility with which
these judgments are obtained, the case first Won
by Marx Tyson at Shcboygan will serve. The
property on which the suit for damages was
brought lies on both sides Ut South Water
street, the river and the south Side. In 1864 a
new grade was established, ten feet above the
datum liue,-making uniform raise OF sixfeet,
but the change was not carried into elect in
front of this property. In 1870 Mark Tyson be-
came the purchaser OF TIL. property, aud two
years later, after the filling required under
house on the river side, with basement SO
that the first floor reached the level
Of the sidewalk. HEAVY taxes for the
paved streets were levied. but Mr.. Tyson never
paid them, the lots were sold for non-payn'cnt,
and the certificates against tic lots are still i'll
existence unless they haEA4ecn taken up BY the
present owners and destroyed. Tyson brought
suit to recover the value Of the street work and
the cost Of adjusting the lots to the grade,
claiming that the change rendered the ducks
useless for business purposes. The case was
tried at Shcboygau on Tuesday, "Wednesday,
and Thursday OF the present week. and resulted
in a special verdict in favor OF the complainant
that will aggregate nearly S14,U ,UW. This ludgg
meu1 will prove blessing 10 Mark Tyson, ITO
doubt; but if sustained by tnc Supreme Court
Tic effect cannot fail to be disastrous to the
city, as it opens the door for d wholesale raid
upon the City Treasurer By propcrty-owners in
every part of the city where grades have been
raised without necessary precaution ut anv time
within the past ten years. 1t is safe to say that
the lots involved in this suit, even if not sad
died with the disadvantage Of the grade, would
hardly bring Sli, ,UO0 to-day.

A young man and his girl sat near the
front, at Burdette's lecture, the other even
ing. The young man carried his head on
one side, it being forced into that position
by the weight of half Of a very tender nous
tache which was composed of seven hairs
upon one side and eleven upon the other
side of his nose. When the 'Hawkeye''
man had just finished convulsing his hear
ers with an account of a youths first shaving
encounter with a barber, the young man
leaned over to his girl, and whispered:
''That's true to life, | can tell you"
GLOW can you tell me3" inquired his girl.
"How4" he repeated in a whisper; ''why,
by experience, that's just the way l felt

"When was that2" she asked.
'Oh, before | raised my moustache, he
returned.
"What moustacheS ~ she queried, a little
surprised.
What moustache do you suppose 2" he
retorted, turning rcd.
"Why, Charlie" whispered the girl, 81

'Ncver mind what ! mean," Kissed the
young man, between his clenched teeth.
And he stared very hard at the lecturer all
the rest of the evening, but somehow
couldn't see anything to laugh at. Sunday

The lathy-leggcd husband came down Off

The Blue Process Of Copying TrdciHgs
In a short paper read before the In
stitute OF Mining Engineers Mr.. p.
Barnes gave the following summary OF
the manipulatiOns required In this pro.
cess: /. Provide a Hat board as large
as the tracing which is 10 be copied. 2.
Lay on this board two or three thick
ness Of common blanket, or its equiva-
lent, TO give a slightly yielding backing
for the paper. 3. Lay on the blanket
the prepared paper with the sensitive
side uppermOst. 4. Lay on this paper
the tracing, smoothing IL out Is perfect
ly as possible so rs TO insure a perfect
contact with the paper. 8. Lay on the
tracing plate Of clear glass, which
should be heavy enough to press the
tracing close down upon the paper. Or.
binary plate-glass Of 3 in. thickness is
quite sufficient, 6. Expose the whole
TO q clear sunlight, by pushing 1t out
on a shelf from an ordinary window, or
In any other convenient way, for six TO
ten minutes. If a clear skylight only
can be had, the exposure must be con-
tinued for thirty or t~hirty-fve minutes,
and under a cloudy sky sixty to ninety
minutes may be needed. z. Remove
the prepared paper and drench 1t freely
for one or two minutes in clear water,
and hang IL up by n corner to dry.
Any good hard paper may be employed
(from even a leaf from a press copy
book up to Bristol board) which will
bear the necessary wetting. For the
sensitizing solution take Ia OF. citrate
of iron and ammonia and & OF. of clean
water; dissolve these separately and
mix them, keeping the solution in Il
yellow glass bottle, or carefully protect
ed from the light. The paper may be
very conveniently coated with a sponge
of four inches diameter, with one fiat
side. The paper may be gone over once
with the sponge quite moist with the
solution, and a second time with the
sponge squeezed very dry. The sheet
should then be laid away to dry IN a
dark place, as in a drawer, and must be
shielded from the light until 1t is to be
used. When dry the paper is of a full
yellow or bronze color; after the ex-
posture to the light the surface becomes
a darker bronze, and the lines of the
tracing appears as still darker on the
surface. Upon washing the paper the
characteristic flue tint appears, with
the lines Of the tracing in vivid con-
trast.

Suffering.

He was a little active fellow, proprietor
OF a small candy and grocery store in a
village ems! of Chicago. Generally a good
hearted fellow, he never became angry I'M
less some mention of his stammering was
made by persons desiring to ridicule him.
Bad boys would sometimes enter his
store and ask the price of something which
they knew was marked a shilling, for my
friend Nestor was so sensitive that he would
rather lose a cent Or two on an article than
attempt to remark that the price of it was a
''sh-sh-shilling." The boys knew this, of
course, and so, when asked the price of the
shilling articles, Nestor would evade their
ridicule and promptly reply that it was
worth a ''d-d-dime."
Only once did hester smile at his W
misfortune.
One day a stranger entered his store, and
approaching the counter, said:
81 w-w-want a d-d-dime's w-worth of
t-t-tobacco.n
"F-i-fne-cut or p-p-plug1" ~innocently
questioned Nestor.
'G-g-go to -- with your t-t-tobacco /;
I'm n-not here to be insultedln angrily ex-
claimed the stranger, rushing from the store.
Nestor saw his mistake, and--was induced
TO indulge in a smile over it.
Friend Nestor was very fond Of hunting,
and, with a young son, would often pass
half a day shooting squirrels in the woods
near the village.
One day they were in the woods, rs usual
after squirrels. Nestor had emptied his gun
at a large hawk, and just then cspied a
squirrel making for his home in a neighbor-
ing tree. Nestor was at once all excitement.
His son was a few rods away with a loaded
gun. Nestor could never talk when excited.
but on this occasion he twisted his mouth
into all manner of contortions, slapped him
self on the stomach, and calculated
'G-g-g-George, c-c-c-come q-q-q-quick
here's asq-sq-squirrel No, you needn't he's
gonel" He finished as the nimble squirrel
popped out of sight into a hole in the tree.
On another occasion, they were out with
their little dog after rabbits.
Neslor started up a rabbit. Where was
the dog9
Turning and grasping a small sapling for
support, Nestor quickly calculated
"Here, %P-p-p-p-pV" then, as the rabbit
bobbed around brush pile out of sight, he
turned to George and said:
'G-g-George, ! can't say P-p-p-Puppy
50 well change that dogs name to Tr-Tr-
Tr-Tripl"

Living in France,

The manner of living in France is much
the same as in the South Of our own coun-
try. The early meal, which takes the place
of our breakfast, consists only of a roll and
cup of coffee or chocolate. The second
breakfast, as it is called, is much like our
dinner, which is eaten between five and
eight O'Clock, never consists of less than
five courses, and often of more. Wine is
an indispensable article with the French
mar. Be he young or old, rich or poor, he
must have his wine. The f%avorite kind
seems to be %claret, which may be pur-
chased at the exceedingly reasonable price
of fifteen cents per bottle. Holding the
fact in mind that a dinner in Paris is no
dinner at all without its accompanying bot
tie Of wine. we are surprised to find so lit
tie intemperence here. Even on New
Years Day, the day Of the year in this
country, the city was perfectly orderly and
quiet, notwithstanding the crowds of plea
sure seeker who thronged the streets from
early in the morning until late at night.
Giving the French people all due credit for
their orderly conduct in general we cannot
but deplore their utter disregard of the Sab
bath. They seem to have no idea that
there is a commandment, "Remember the
Sabbath day." &c. Stores are open, and
people are making purchases the same as
week days; and any Sunday, by glancing
across the street, we may see n family
seated at the window engaged, and seem
ingly very much interested, in card play
ing, for it seems to be their regular Sunday
afternoon recreation.

edy so simple and yet 30 infsllible as AnAkesis
for Piles has been discovered. 1t is a happy
combination Of the soothing pOultice Of the
English. the instrument Of the French, and the
curative medication of the American surgeons.
1t affords immediate relief from the most ex-

The Fig Racket.

The fig racket is the name Of a swim
die practiccd on the northern trains. The
operator, who is generally the news agent,
selects his victim among the passengers and
shows him several boxes Of figs, into one Of
which he openly puts a two dollar bill.
Placing the boxes behind him and mixing
them thoroughly, he again shows them to
the unwary and proposes TO let him take
his choice for a dollar. Sticking from one
of the boxes the sharp eye Of the unwary
has caught a glimpse Of the bill, and is
only too glad TO hand over his dollar and
take the box, in which he, of course, dis
covers the corner of a paper ten-ccnt piece.

A Ntw DiScoUeryn Organic Chemistry.
MIR. Norman Lockyer contributed a
paper before the French Academy at
its last meeting, in which he announc-
ed a discovery in organic chemistry,
which if corroborated will modify or
overthrow all present theories. Mr..
Lockyer, after several years of investi-
cation into the nature of the spectra of
the sun, of other celestial bodies, and
the artificial spectra of different simple
bodies at various degrees of temporal
ture, has reached the conclusion that
all the elementary bodies recognized by
chemists are neither more nor less than
hydrogen at various degrees of conden-
sation. He thinks the discovery, of
which he promises to furnish abundant
proof, will inaugurate a new chemistry,
''giving a far more expanded idea of
the simplicity of the proceedings by
which theworld was gradually formed"
According to Mr.. Lockyer the stars,
which are the hottest, contain either
pure hydrogen or the most elementary
bodies. The sun, which is only OF
medium heat, consists of a mixture of
various elements, while the colder ce-
lestial bodies show the most cOmpleXed
compounds.

II is knoleR that cast irons containing
much silicon or phosphorus are at pre-
sent unsuitable for the production of
superior wrought iron or castings. The
same pig iron, if properly refined in
the ordinary coke refinery or by other
means, will lose the greater portion of
its silicon; and if similar or other pig
iron be converted into wrought iron
by the usual process, the greater por-
ton of its phosphorus as well as silicon
will be removed. It's proposed 20 melt
down in a cupola furnace a mixture of
refined cast iron and of wrought iron.
The amount of silicon and phosphorus
in the resulting metal may thus be pre-
portioned to equal the average of these
substances in cold blast all-mine pig
irons; and, owing to the contact of the
wrought iron with the coke or other
fuel, the metal will contain sufficient
carbon to fit it for use in the foundry
or pudding furnace.
