A gentleman who boasts the degree of G.

in which he says he will give geld medal
worth $75 to anyone who will clear up the
mysteries in the origin of the solar system

such job! We suggest that the students of
the Scientific school take it up as vacation
pastime. We are surprised that this worthy
c. E. is contented with SO little. Wouldn't
he give five dollars more and find out how
long the solar system is going to last Bet

The Missouri Court of Appeals gives an
opinion in a suit for the possession of GER
tain lots that the mere building of fence
does not work the advantage often claimed
by the builders. It says: The argument
here made for the plaintiff seems to assume
that the act of building fence or enclosure
creates ipso facto apeaceable possession in the
builder, which he may ever thereafter main
tain by the action of forcible entry and de-
tainer. We know of no law to that effect
If the party committed trespass in order to
build the fence he will still be trespasser,
notwithstanding the fence. If the fence be
only feature of his strategy to gain advan-
tage in litigation, it will not better his posi-
ton Possession means a real dominion,
capable of devoting the property to some
beneficial use, however small, by him who
enjoys it. Procedure must be invoked in
| behalf of such dominion as a substantial
right above enjoyment is invaded or with
held, and not for the mere purpose of secur-
ing vantage ground for other litigati on.
The suitor who employs it for the latter pur-
pose attempts fraud upon the law. He
would have the courts employed, not in ad-
ministering justice between itigants, but in
rewarding the most skillful strategists,

Bishop Cleveland Coke thinks that in sys-
TENS of mental philosophy proper degree of
attention has not been assigned to the phe-
nomena of dreams. Much less has 1t been
considered how much dreams affect our life
and pass into our experience as facts and as
to this phase of the subject he says that he
has had visions of judgment" which haunt
ed him for weeks, deeply impressing him
with sense of his accountability. He has
known persons the reverse of superstitious
or philosophical, and who would have scorn-
ed the thought of attaching Importance to
them, who, nevertheless, could not shake
off the depressing influence of dreams for
long time. Many of our dreams are SO real
in their impression on the Imagination as to
leave a permanent mark. Hence they affect
us for good or i'll in many ways, even after
we cease to recoIlect them, just as do the act
ual events of our past lives Another point
made by the Bishop is that the dreams we
remember are very few as compared with
those we fail to recall, even when we wake
In the morning, but that the impressions left
upon as by dreams "are elements of our ed
ucation, enter into our habits, and are part
of the experience which account for the
specialties of any man."

The British lion is very obnoxious ami
NAL to an Irishman who makes his complaint
in the New York Sun as follows: ''Yester-
day afternoon being pleasant thought to
enjoy stroll through our beautiful Central
Park, and in the course of my rsmbles found
my way to the menagerie, where my pleas
are was much marred by finding on exhibit
ton several lions. Although said to be Afri-
can, they are doubtless from some of the Brit
ish possessions, and are. suppose, kept in the
park to remind us of British tyranny, as are
those which have for years guarded the en-
trance to the late British Consulate in this
city and those which have also been placed
on the Brooklyn station of the East river
bridge. AS an Irishman, say, let US have
fewer lions and more American eagles.
:. John F. Smyth tells good story in illus
tration of ex-senator Conkline's quickness of
mind during debate. He was interrupted
during a speech at Utica by a fellow
who bawled out: 'tDo you want me to mar
ry a black wench ?' Conkling pretended
not to hear the remark distinctly, and
said with great politeness of manner
'fWill the gentleman who asked me a
question have the kindness to come for
ward and repeat it" The Republicans
who were present cried out "Turn him
out, turn him out" "Oh, no, don't turn
him out I'm sure the gentleman asked
some question which deserves a reply !;
let him come forward" said Conkling.
So they pushed the fellow forward to the
middle of the hall. where he puffed out his
chest and said defantIy: ''Do you want me
to marry a black woman?" Conkling |
looked the man all over carefully for about
three minutes. 1t was SO silent that you
could have heard a pin drop. Then he
said with a drawl: DO I want you to
marry q black woman? No, I can't say
that do have too much compassion for
the black woman"

Some further examinations of children

the proportion was 1880, and in one-the

is most encouraging about the report is the
further statement that by far the great
er part of the mischief is due to mis-
management-to badly lighted school
rooms, nl-centriyed desks, excess of study

THE COUNTY PRINTING.-The offer of the
Bel Air Times to do the county printing for
$500 is made for political effect alone. Ii is
II bid for votes, not II legitimate business
proposition. If the publisher OF the Times
knows anything at all about the cost of pub
fishing newspapcr-md we take it for
granted he docs-hc knows that the price at
which he offers to do the work is much be-
low what it is worth. The object he has in
view is To turn the control of county affairs
over to the Republicans, and he is willing to
make II present sacrifice for the benefits to be
gained hereafter Besides he may well say
that he regards the amount named as sutfi-
cent compensation for the use of his columns.
No doubt it is. But if he had not corpor-
alton of stockholders back of him, ready to
make good any losses he may sustain in his
efforts to aid the Republican party, il is not
at nil probable he would offer to do work for
the county at less than it is worth in any re-
spectacle newspaper.
AS a mater of fact the prices charged by
Tile 1Egis for county advertising are as low
as in any county in the State for newspapers
of equal circulation, and not one cent more
than the work is worth.
The only point for the County Commits.
sioncrs to consider is how they can make
their advertisements reach the greatest num-
Der of taxpayers. To do this no taxpayer
will object to paying fair, reasonable price
from their duty by offers made with polti-
cal object alone in view

The Democratic Ticket Acceptable.

The most gratifying evidences are given
that the Democratic ticket nominated on the
4th instant is entirely acceptable to the par
ty and will command its undivided support.
The candidates are known to be men of
ability and integrity, who, felectcd, will dis
charge their trusts to the satisfaction of the
people of the county. 1t is II ticket which
no man need hesitate to vote, and the voters
of Hartford will give it one of their old fash
ioned Democratic majorities Every Demo-
Graf had the privilege, if he chose 10 exercise
it, of making his free choice among the can
didatcs offered for nomination, and all are in
honor bound To abide by the decision ofthe
majority. No frauds were perpetrated by
which the voice Of the majority was stillcd,
and no bosses dictated who should he nomi-
mated. We have no doubt of the election of
the entire ticket.

A Political Sensation in Baltimore.

The grand jury of Baltimore city on Mon
day found presentments against ] Frank Nor
rson, s. w. Register Gen. Thos w. Camp
bell, Charles b. Slingluff, Samuel Hannah,
Bartholomew E. Smith, ex.fre commissions
ers, and Mayor White, ex -otlicio President of
the late board, The presentments are based
upon II law iorbdding any city officer to be
engaged in any contract for work done or
material furnished the city. The indictments
charge that Mcssrs Morrison and REGISTER,
while holding official position, sold material
to the city without permitting competition
and at prices SO far in advance of the fair
market value as TO constitute n fraud
on the city. The other members of the
late board, including Mayor White, are pre-
scented for knowingly permitting the fraudu-
lent sale to be made The whole amount
involved in dispute is but 1884 so. 1t is
claimed that 5000 feet of hose were pur-
chased at cost of IS cents per foot in excess
of the market price, which would make
s., 800, and that $500 zines were purchased
for 20I cents more than the market value,
which would make 1854. 1t is only alleged
that excessive prices were paid in these two
cases.
Mayor White, itappears, had never attended
but two meetings of the fire board and heard
nothing of the contracts made by the board
which originated the charges. The present
mcnt against him was made upon the assump-
ton that being ex.otficio President of the
board he was therefore technically response
BILE for their official action. 1t was through
the exertions of Mayor White that the board
was abolished.
In all Mayor Whites long official career
his integrity of character has never been
questioned People have disagreed with him
politically, but no one has ever before charged
that he committed any fraud himself or CON
nivcd at it i'm others in the high public trusts
reposed upon him. The charge is a grave
one and reflects not only upon Mayor Whyte
but upon the fair fame of Baltimore city itself
We have not the slightest doubt Mr., Whyte
will be able to clear himself fully and to the
satisfaction of all his friends from the charges
brought against him.
