Supreme Judicial COURT.
The following rescript has been received by
clerk of the western district
oyt-apT, CoIrNTy

The following rescript has been received by the
clerk of the western district:
OXFORD COUNTY.
Moses A. Mason vs. Samuel d. Philbrook.
Rescrpt by Libbey, j. Two questions only are
raised by the exceptions l. The defendant object
ed the PLAINTIFFS motion for the assessment OF the
amount of the Judgment by the presiding judge on
the ground that should have been assessed by the
law court. The had been presented to that
court on report of the evidence for its decision on
SO much of the evidence as legally admissible
That Court sent down the following mandate: Judg-
ment for plaintiff as ofmortgage." The law court
did not see tit to the amount due on the M TT
gage the evidence before it, but left it open Tor
assessment at nisi priats. The presiding judge had
full power to make the assessment. 2 The defend
ant objected to the introduction of the notes de-
scribed in the mortgage the ground that they mad
been over due more than six years, and were barred
by the statute of limitations and that the plaintiff
must first prove that they had not been paid. The
six years bar does not apply to the assessment OF
the amount due mortgage. No presumption OF
payment arises in such from lapse of time less
than twenty years.
Exceptions Oyerrued.

Braun's Autotypes.

Braun's AutOtypeS.
Our readers viii remember the superb col
lection of Braun's carbons exhibited in this
city, at two separate times, by Mr.. MARI agent
for Williams s. Everett of Boston, the first
time at Hales, and the second in one Of the
stores under the Falmouth Hotel. Mr.. Stor-
nay agent for Braun's celebrated gallery, No.
43 Avenue de POpera, Paris, is now exhibit
ing the most famous autotypes from this re-
nowned house at Mr. G. f. Davis, Elm street.
The London Times says: "An engraving,
however skilfully executed, is at best but a
copy of a painters work, by some one
else and is thus deprived of that strictly per-
sonal element which is SO important il every
form of art; while in the case Of autotypes the
original may almost be said to copy itself, and
the copies may certainly be said to reproduce
with entire fidelity everything that is charac-
teristic of the original. Where the autotype
is employed for the reproduction Of originals
in black and white, whether these are in char
coal, grisaille, chalk, pencil ink, or other
mediums, the copies initiate the original SO
closely that very careful inspection would be
required to distinguish between them. OF such
copies very large number by various artists
have been published and they bring correct
and finished studies of nature within reach of
the community"
There are $1,000 autotypes in Braun's col
lection taken from all the celebrated galleries
of Europe. Those at Mr.. Davis gallery are
arranged by Mr.. Stornay in regular sequence,
commencing with the old masters, and con-
Guiding with the Paris Salon of 1879 Among
this vast collection will be found Raphael San
zio by himself the original the property of the
Polish prince Czartoriski Mona Liza by Leon
ardo da Vinc; Rubens Wives by Rubens; Au-
rora by Guido REM, now published for the
first time with the complete border; Christ
calling on Simon, and Christ calling on Mat
thew, by Bida, the celebrated Scripture pain
ter; several by MISSIONER, including Politics in
in the Convent, the Court Guard-the original
owned by Drexel the banker,-aud Napoleon's
Retreat from Moscow; Charlotte Corday by
Merle, representing the beautiful woman en-
tering the kings apartments to Stay him; Ma
RE Antoinette as a Bride, by the celebrated
lady artist Virgee-Lebrun; Suzanne and the
Elders, the model for Suzanne having been a
beautiful Jewish girl; Sara Bernhardt Model
ling, by Bastien Lepage, wood-cut from
which graced the last Harper's Weekly; a
charming little picture, called Little Caprice,
by Mile E. KOCH from the salon Of 70. These
are but a few, copies of which will no doubt
remain in Portland.

repeated until a block is built four
inches thick, and of about the specific
gravity of hgnum vitae. After each
FASTING and pressing six days are al
lowed for drying, and when the block
is complete it is left in drying room
until thoroughly seasoned. The next
operation is that Of turning the paper
blocks to fit the steel tires and iron
hubs. This is done in lathes with as
much accuracy and in exactly the
same manner as if the material worked
ON was iron or wood. The circumfer-
ence is turned to a perfect circle of the
precise diameter required, bed or re-
cess is worked out for the web of the
tire to rest in, and the surfaces are left
hard and smooth and the edges sharp
ly defined. The lock is then painted
and is ready for its place in the wheel.
The iron hubs are turned in lathes to
specific gauges; and a hub Of any given
gauge will therefore answer for any
wheel of the corresponding size.
The tires are of steel, and most of
those now are made at the Standard
Steel Works. Lewistowl1, Pennsylvania,
and at the Midvale Works, Nicetown,
Philadelphia. They are bolted to the
paper by an inner rim or fiange, and
are turned to perfect circle. Plates
of thin boiler iron are bolted To the pa
per to prevent expansion.

Paper Car Wheels---HOw They Are
Made.

The Paper World contains an article
upon paper car wheels and their mode
of manufacture which is of interest
The paper is straw-board of rather fine
texture. 1t Is received in the ordinary
broad sheets, differing III no particular
from those used for straw-board boxes
or other similar work These sheets
as they come from the paper mill are
square, and must first of all be cut to a
circular pattern. This is rapidly done
on large table, with a knife which IL
guided by radial arm that swings
freely over the surface Of the table
from pivot at the center. A small
disk is also cut from the center of the
sheet to allow for the iron hub Being
thus reduced to the required shape and
dimensions, the paper must now be
converted from mass of loose sheets
into a compact, dense body, capable
of withstanding the tremendous crush-
ing force to which it win be subjected
in the wheels. This IS accomplished
in the following manner, Ten sheets
are pasted together, one upon another,
making disk about one-eight Of an
inch thick. Enough of those disks
having been prepared to fill powerful
hydraulic press, they are subjected to
pressure of 800 pounds to the
square inch. When removed, the disks
are hung on poles IN steam-heated
loft, and left six days To dry Thicker
disks are then made, each formed by
FASTING together two or three of those
already finished. These are pressed
and dried as before, and the process is

"The Monsoon Has Burst"
London Telegraph.

4 brief telegram from india, appear.
ing i'll our columns yesterday an
nounced an occurrence which is among
the most magnificent and bn, fetal
phenomena of nature in the Eastern
world. The message was laconic in the
extreme, merely communicating that
''the monsoon has burst" Yet in these
four words lie the promise and pOten-
cy" of renewed life and fertility this
coming year for India; for what the ris-
ing of the Nile is to Egypt, such is the
breaking of the summer monsoon to
the Malabar coast and its adjacent re-
gions.
As the Nile sometimes fails to reach
its annual high-water mark, so the great
cloud gathering of the Indian Ocean
occasionally disappoints the anxious
people of the peninsula, and passes
away with insufficient gifts of moisture.
1t is, however, of excellent omen when,
as i'll the present season, the seaborn
vapors collect thickly and iii good
time, and break with vast CONFUSION
of the atmosphere. There is no longer
any such mystery about this yearly
phenomenon as prevailed in old days,
waters, or when Hippalus the Greek
made bold to spread his sail before the
strange wind which blew so steadfastly
towards Muzeris, the port of spices"
The southwest monsoon is now as we'll
understood by science as the move
ments of church clock. If the equa-
torial regions of the earth were covered
with water, the trade winds would blow
steadily right round the globe, follow
ing the suns course with a northward
DETECTION from December to June to
December. But the hot months of
April and May heat the surface of
Southern Asia so that the atmosphere
above it expands and rises. The colder
air from the Indian Ocean thereupon
flows up to fill the vacuum. To the
north of the equator the revolution of
the earth lends this current westerly
deviation, and the result is long and
steady stream of wind, which, laden
with the clouds raised from the wide
Arabian Sea, drives and piles these wa
ter-bearing masses in seried ranks
against the Western Ghauts of. India,
where, about the beginning of June,
they gather in dark canopy, covering
the sky far and near.
On the Commanded coast of the pen
insula, it is the northeast monsoon
which renders the same service at the
reversed period of the year for that
side of India. There the life-giving
clouds are brought up from the Bay of
Bengal to break over the Eastern
Mountains and refresh the fields of
Orissa and Madras The SHOWS of
Himalaya, periodically filling the chan
nels of the Ganges and the Brahma-
pootra, complete the water supply of
the Indian continent, which would be a
desert like the Sahara, were it not for
the mountain reservoirs and for these
'mausime, or neyer-falling seasonal
monsoons, by whose recurrence the
land is watered from the sea, India and
and Narayen keeping alive the children
of tho SIM
