of Delaware has recalled to memory the sin- gular circumstances of his defeat for the United States Senate in 1871. His brother Willard, very able man, but incorporate, had just completed term in the Senate, and was a candidate for reelection Cove was governor, and announced that he also would be candidate. When the day of election came the Legislature was equally divided There were fifteen votes for Willard Sauls- bury and fifteen votes for Cove Saulsbury, and so it continued day after day, the friends of each standing by their candidate and mak- ing it deadlock. Finally Willard per ceiving that his election was impossible, de- clared that he would be satisfied with the defeat of his brother, who had made the contest against him, and succeeded in persuad- ing all his supporters to throw their ballots for another brother, Eli Salisbury, tten a lawyer in Dover, of no great prominence ex- cept on account of his family relations. On the next ballot some of Gove's supporters vo- ted for Eli, and he was elected Previous to this time the three brothers had supported each other in their political aspirations and had things pretty much their own way, the Bayard family being the only competitors of much account. But the bitterness engen- slsfsa by fhis contest between Cove and. Will lard was never healed. Eli, however, con- trived to keep on good terms with both, and was reelected in 1879 Willard is now chan cellor of the State. Cove never held public office again.

 The wearer of plug hat must move with 8 certain sedateness and propriety. All it's hidden influences tend toward responsibility.
 He who wears one is obliged to keep the rest of his body in decent trim, that there may be no incongruity between head and body. The chances are that he will buy an umbrella, which is another guaranty of good behavior, and the care of hat and umbrella-perpetual and exacting as it must ever be-adds to the sweetness of his character. The man who wears plug hat naturally takes to the socie- ty of women, with all it's elevated tendencies.
 He cannot go hunting or fishing without abandoning his beloved hat, but in the mod crate enjoyment of crequet and lawn tennis he may sport his beaver with impunity. The inevitable result is prosperity, marriagA and church membership.-1fzrners FaHs Report

ARBITRATION IN BUsINEss

It would be bad for the lawyers if business men would stop ''going to law' to settle their disagrsements, and instead submit them to arbitration, but it would be good thing for the business men, If business man goes to law and gets justice the delay, the cost and the trouble are frequently so great as to overbalance the success. And if he gets injustice, which unfortunately ire quently happens, his appeal to law is exceed ingly unproftable and exasperating
 The New York HeraG recently pointed out that arbitration is growing in use and favor among the business men of New York, who have found that it is often better and cheaper even to charge claim to profit and loss than to risk far greater loss by appeal ing to the law. As the HeraEd says, the ad- yantages of arbitration are mapx-apd sub .stantial. ''The arbitrators, who are to act as judge and jury, are the choice of the par ties themselves. In naming them the parties may select men of known integrity, intelli- gence and ability, and, what is of%he high est importance, men who are thoroughly con- versant with the matter submitted to them. There will be no tedious delay or unnecessa- ry expense. The arbitrators will act and de- eide with the promptness of business men. Their decision will be based on the rules of business and the principles of common sense and equity. Their award is final unless it is the result of fraud or the arbitrators have exceeded their powers or have been guilty of some gross irregularity or injustice"
 The great commercial bodies of New York the Chamber of Commerce., the Produce Exchange, the Cotton Exchange and the Board of Brokers-have their courts OF con- mittees of arbitration, and controversies be- tween members of these bodies are promptly and equitably settled by arbitrators. The example thus set might well be initiated by business men in smaller cities than New York. Right here in New Haven thousands of dollars, much time and temper are annu- ally wasted in litigation which might and ought to be avoided by arbitration. Ofcourse there are questions which arise between bus mess men that can only be settled by the courts but they are few, and the large ma jority of the disputes that get into Il courts could be easily kept out without injustice to anybody

The professor raised his legs as far as possible out of harms way. His be- lief in the sharks harmlessne had appar- ently suffered change. The captain gave the shark a dozen blows with his club, and remarked, "He wasn't quite dead" We had already been led to suspect as much.
 During the next hour three other sharks were added to our cargo. They were nearly of the same size as the first one and were captured after similar tugging, struggling and beating

It is generally expected in Massachusetts
 says the Worcester Spy, that when President Garfield is so far restored to health that he can safely resume his public duties he will fill the vacancy in the Supreme Court, caused By the death of Judge Clifford, by the ap- pointment of Chief Justice Gray. This ex- pectation, the Spy continues, is founded upon the conviction held by the whole Mas sachusetts bar and public, and shared by those of other States who have had occasion to know of Judge Grays qualifications, that by his integrity and dignity of character, his profound and accurate legal learning, and his admirable judicial qualities, he would add strength to any court in the world. As it is desirable that so far as is practicable each judicial circuit should be represented on the bench of the Supreme Court, the fact that Chief Justice Gray is of the same circuit in which the vacancy exists is in his favor.

The importance of the Mississippi barge lines as grain carriers is apparent. During the last five months the barge lines have car ried 3, ,633 O43 bushels of grain against B. sS1, ,o33 bushels shipped by rail. But as re- gards wheat the barges have taken 3, 237, 1928 bushels, while only S71, 332 bushels were transported in cars. It may be taken for granted that as to wheat intended for Europe the railroads will hereafter have to contend with the Mississippi river route. The full effect of this new factor in the trade and transportation of the country will not be im- mediately realized, but eventually it will be of immense importance.

A large proportion of those sent from Rus sia to Siberia are sent not as prisoners but as colonists. If 8 man is idle, drunkard, or g nuisance in any way to a community, tie authorities of his district, meeting in coun- cil, decide to pay the cost of deporting him to Siberia, not as a prisoner, but as a colo mist, for one of the objects of the Russian government is to develop the resources of that vast and thinly populated land. The numbers sent have averaged of late years from IT, 1000 to 20,o0O. A trustworthy au- thority says that the number of political prisoners sent to Siberia is enormously ex- aggerated. As a rule, the work imposed on those in the mines is by no means severe The prisoners no longer go to their destina- ton all the way on foot. From Moscow, where they assemble, they go by rail to Mini Novgorod, and then by water to Perm !; thence by rail again to Ekaterinburg, whence conveyances take them to Tiumen The re- mainder of the journey is by water or on foot. Prisoners are divided into two classes. The first are treated as felons the second only partially lose their civil rights, do not always undergo imprisonment, and in any case only for 8 period, at the expiration of which they become colonists

The newspapers of Germany are not noted for their enterprise, but many of them have lived long time. Of the 4,413 now in ex- istence 99 were born in the last century and few in the century before. One at Frank fort is 261 years old, one at Magdeburg 253, and one at Leipsic 2o7. Of papers whose ages average from so to 50 years there are 266, while those that average from 50 to 21 number l, ,127. Permanence in newspaper existence in Germany is not, however, the general rule.
