TWO LADIES Vs. A RAILROAD.

TWO LADIES VS. A RAILROAD.
 Two New York ladies have gained an inn portant victory over the New York, West Shore and Buffalo Railroad company in de. cision by the Court of Appeals that the court cannot condemn the right of way over navigable waters. The history of the case is interesting
 The railroad company laid, or prepared to lay, it's rails across certain land owned by the two ladies and situated below Newburg The company offered to buy the land, but as 1t did not offer enough the two ladies refused to sell 1t. Commissioners were appointed by the Supreme Court, but the owners of the land were not satisfied with their award They therefore appealed from the decision of the commissioners on the ground that the water covering the land was navigable, and such as the General Railroad act prohibits the obstruction of. The General Term of the Supreme Court, Judge Barnard writing the opinion, decided against the appellants, and held that the grants by the State of the land in question to the previous owners ad judged the water covering it to be not needed for the purposes of navigation, and that the owners held 1t like any other land they could sell it, and what they could sell could be taken from them by condemnation. This did not disconcert the owners, and they went to the Court of Appeals, which court reversed Judge Dykman's order appointing the con- missioners and the affirmance by the General Term, dismissing the proceedings of the rail road company. with costs.
 The railroad company has spent thousands of dollars in the work of constructing it's road at the point in question and is now at the mercy of the lady owners, who. can make it move it's tracks or pay roundly for the right of way. To add to tho complication since the Court of Appeals has rendered it's decision, Judge Wallace, of the United States Circuit Court, has ordered the West Shore company to remove all the piling, stones sand, etc., and restore the property or the waterway just as it was before it commenced to build it's road. The two plucky ladies who have thus triumphed are much praised for their vindication of their rights

 The men of to-day, brought face to face with the greatest kings of Pharaonic Egypt, stood hewildsred, and asked each other if they W ere dreaming. They had come hither expecting at most to find the mummies of few petty princes of the comparatively re- cent Her-Hor line. They found themselves confronted by the mortal remains of heroes who till this moment had survived only as names far echoed down the corridors of time.
 A few yards farther still, and they stood on the threshold of sepulchral chamber liter ally piled to tue roof with sarcophagi of enor- nous size. Brilliant with gliding and color, and as highly vanished as if but yesterday turned out from the workshops of the Mem nonium, the decorations of these cofins show ed them to belong to the period of the P1no- tems and Piankhis Here was found Queen Notem- -Maut wife of Her. -Hor, the first priest king of the Amenide dynasty. Here lay King Pinotem I, King Pinotem II, Queen Makara, Queen Isi en- -Kheb, Prince and High Priest Masahirti, Princess Mas Khonsu, and others of the same lineage. Everything, in short, went to prove that this chamber was the family vault of the descendants of Her -Hor, who, for some reason of expedien- cy, would seem to have given sepulchral hos pitality to their predecessors of foregone time.
 To enumerate all the treasures found in this chamber would be to write supplement to the catalogue of the Boolak Museum Enough that each member of the Amenide family was buried with the ordinary mortua- ry outfit, consisting of vases libation jars, funereal statuettes, etc. Richer in these other world goods than any of the rest was Queen Isi-em -Kheb, daughter of Prince Masahirti and wife to her uncle, King Menkheperra. Besides statuettes, lbation jars, and the like she was provided with sumptuous funereal repast, consisting of gazelle launches, truss ed geese, calves' heads, dried grapes, dates, dom palm nuts, and the like, the meats be- ing mummifed and bandaged, and the whole packed in large rush hamper, sealed with her husbands unbroken seal. Nor was her sepulchral toilet forgotten. With her were found her ointment bottles, set of aiabaster cups, some goblets of exquisite variegated glass, and a marvellous collection of huge full dress wigs, curled and frizzed and i'm closed each in 8 separate basket. As the food was entombed with her for her refreshment, so were there things deposited in the grave for her use and adorament at that supreme hour of bodily resurrection when the justif- ed dead, clothed, fed, perfumed and anointed, should go forth from the sepulchre into ever. lasting day.

the public schools of Ontario. The normal ard model schools are to be heightened and the course of instruction improved. In the lower schools trustees will have the option of introducing elementary science, and 1n the rural school terms the elementary principles of agriculture. The High School course will also be made more flexible, and the inter mediate examination is to become a mere test of promotion from the lower to the upper school. The intermediate examinations will be but step in the teachers examinations. and not, as hitherto, an equivalent. The obligatory subjects in the intermediate will be confined to the essen tial subjects in secondary education. The option will be given to every pupil to select his subjects in the upper school. Music and able for girls, will also be taught in the High schools. Latin will no longer be one of the compulsory subjects The change of princi- pie in the distribution of the government grant will avoid oramming and also prevent undue influence being exercised inasmuch as the basis of distribution will recognize 8 minimum for all the schools, due regard be- ing had to the amount paid for teachers sal aries. One of the beneficial effects of the proposed change in the mode of distributing tho government grant will be to do away with the present system of cramming picked candidates for the intermediate to the injury of the other scholars

HECK ER'S PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal & Courier:
 sir:-The contract for supplying the United States government with seventy-five thousand (75,OOO) lbs. of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by Dr. Ed- ward G. Love, analytical chemist for the government, and recom- mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained 8 higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread and bis- cuit) than either the "Royal'' or the other cream tartar baking powders winch he examined. The samples analysed by pr. Love were furnished by the government com missiOners, and were without the manufacturers label or name. and designated with a number known only to the commissioners.
 It will thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder submitted to an impartial test it's superiority is acknowledged, and the popular verdict so emphat- ically expressed i'm it's favor is fully sustained.

The novel police system adopted by Chicago year and half ago is said to have proved perfectly successful. The oity is divided into twenty four districts, in each of which is depot containing three policemen, a wagon and four horses. Throughout the city are police boxes, looking like the old-fashioned sentry boxes, and provided with telegraph signals and telephones. The door is kept locked, but can be opened by anybody need ing police aid, keys being liberally distributed among stores and residences. Private indi- viduals can thus send sn alarm by telegraph, just we transmit fire calls in this city. Each key is numbered and registered, and, after being used to open box, is held fast in the lock until released by policeman. Thus mlschievously false alarms are detected. When an alarm is received at depot the po- lice on duty there drive quickly to the box in response. The telephones are used by patrol men to make periodical reports, and thereby roundsmen are done away with, and every man is directly under the control of his cap tain When a patrolman makes an arrest he does not desert his beat, but calls the wagon to take the prisoner away. Householdars may have private signal boxes by paying the cost. The superintendent declares that his force is much better controlled than before, that crimes are fewer, that criminals are more easily caught, and that the expense is no greater.

Governor Cornell, of New York, has made himself a reputation as vetoist During the session of the Legislature he put forth several wise vetoes. The constitution of the State gives him authority to approve bills within thirty days after the adjournment of the Legislature and also to reject items in the supply or appropriation bill without reject ing the whole bill. The thirty days have now expired, and that part of the Governors work is done. None of his predecessors have done it so thoroughly. By vetoing items in the supply bill, he has saved to the State more than three hundred thousand dollars. He has vetoed the civil code, bill whose passage was regarded with serious alarm by those who best understand it's provisions and
 were most competent to judge of their prac- tical operation, and several other measures of mischievous tendency, or so carelessly drawn as to be open to grave objections. He has allowed nearly one hundred and twenty bills to fail for lack of his approval within
 the required period, and it is generally con- ceded that his action has been guided only by desire to advance the public interests.

The importation of potatoes from Great Britain and Ireland to the United States and Canada is increasing. For the first quarter of 1882 the receipts at New York were 596,- 927 sacks, or 742, SAP barrels. An average of seventy cents bushel was obtained in New York. Deducting duty and freight, profit of nearly million dollars was the result. Potatoes are about $1O per ton in the old country. This profit is encouraging ship pers, and the Canadians expecting to see a decrease in the cost of native potatoes in consequence of these importations.

together to attend to their duties on the WO

the other pronounced brunette. They were
much interested In discussing the present un-
settled condition of the market, especially
the decline of wheat, and were so deeply en-.
gagged that they did not stop to think how ex.
traordinary their conversation sounded in the
ears of the unlnltiated listeners. SAID the
blonde: "Oh, this drop is to be accounted for

An experienced farmer writes concerning the
most suitable weather for sowing grass seeds
that a fine day should be chosen, when the land
is tolerably dry but when there are indications
of approaching rain. Such conditions are
much more favorable for sowing seeds than
during rainy or showery weather, for, III the
first instance, the seeds are more likely to be
evenly covered and will be gradually absorb
ing moisture from the soil previous to the next
fall of rain, which they will he IN q condition
to receive with benefit. Whereas, ifsown after
shower, as IL too frequently done, the above
advantages are not obtained, but after the seeds
dry have been saturated with moisture the
weather returns and they become "malted."
