Very truly yours,
JOSEPH S. POWELL,


Newport. R. l., Jan. 20, 1881.
Dear Captain-I received your kind note
here. I saw paper where the president of
the Senate submitted resolutions of the board
of trade of Portlnad. So you got those fellows,
after all Mr.. Farley said. L feel prouder of
that because it was so much work, calling for
extra exertion to overcome the influence of
Farley. Doubtless Boston has taken action
ere this. The meteorological committee here
promise a speedy passage of resolutions. They
will reach only two Representatives and two
Senators; but, as you say, "every little helps"
Yours most truly,

THE SIGNAL SERVICE.
Lieut. Powell's Attack on Mr.. Farley.

Congressman Beltzhoover Of Pennsylvania
has made aspeech attacking General Hazen's
management of the weather bureau. To this
speech as published in Thursdays Congress-
lonal Record, are appended several letters from
inspector Powell, who appears to have been
employed year ago in working up boom for
General Hazen through the newspapers and
boards of trade throughout the country. Mr..
Powell visited Portland, aud an interview in
this city was published. In three of Powelps
letters the following illusions are made to Mr..
Cyrus W. Farley. one of Portland's most re-
spected citizens and chairman of thesMeteoro-
logical Committee of the Board of Trade:

PORTLAND'S FIRST PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL.
70 the Editor Of the Press:
I'm the present discussion about the high
school, it may be interesting, if not useful to
speak of our first public high school under
Master Joseph Libby as principal and VIM.
a. Goldman, assistant, both of them graduates
of Bowdoin College, and both now deceased.
In this school, numbering from 100sto 200, 1
spent three years fitting for college and was
the first boy, from that school, to enter Bow
doin College, in the year 1927.
The Rev, Cyrus A. Bartol occupied the
college the following year. Among the schol-
ars at that school / will mention the late
Judge Edward Fox, Bishop Horatio South
gate, Rufus Wood now deceased, and N. o,
era m of this city. DR.. Weeds sons were also
educated at this school. Although there was
were many fitted for college and many, also,
educated for business and commercial life.
The 6rst high school was available and good
for both the rich and poor mans sons and they
all derived benefit according to their mental
capacity and application to study. 1t was
surely good institution, fifty years ago. and
without cavil; but modern cavaliers are now
running tilt against the present high school,
for which our old one was the gorm. sug-
gest without meaning to jest, and there is
many true word spoken in jest, that there
may be something Quixotic in the recent tilt
against our high school, and if there is no
windmill in the case, it seems to me there is
good deal of wind e. FL. L.

A Massachusetts Maiden.

She was Boston maiden, and she'd scarcely
passed eighteen,
And as lovely as Il hOuri, but of grave and
sober mien:
A sweet encyclopedia of every kind OF lore,
Though love looked coyly from behind the
glasses that she wore.
She sat beside her lover, with her elbow on her
knee,
And dreamily she gazed upon the slumberlng
summer sea,
Until he brske the silence, saying "Pray, MI
nervs, dear,
Inform me Of the meaning of the Thngness Of
the Here.
" know you're Just from Concord. where the
lights of wisdom be,
Your head crammed full to bursting love
with their philosophy;
Those hoary-headed sages, and maids OF
hosiery blue
Then solve me the conundrum, love, that |
have put to you"
She dreamed a dreamy smile, and said THE
Thlngness OF the Here
Is that which has not passed, and hasn't arrv-
ed yet, my dear;
Indeed" the maid continued, with n calm, Un-
rufiled brow,
1.-THE Thingness of the Here is lust he This
ness of the Now"
A smile illumed the lovers face; then without
any haste
He slid manly arm around the maiden 3
slender waist
And on her cherry lips impressed "A warm and
loving kiss,
And said; Love, this is what call the Now
ness OF the This"

Another Light Correspondent Gives His
Opinion ON the subject.
Editor San Antonio Light.
Mr.. Lockwood, in his reply to your CORE
spondent "San Pedro" makes an unwar-
ranted claim Of authority for the City Fathers
when he asserts their right to convert the river
and irrigation bitches into sewers. Both the
river and the bitches were many years ago
dedicated to the public, aud for that reason It
is not competent for the municipal authorities,
"ex nero motu," to convert them into sew
ers, thereby perver,ing them from their orig
inal purposes and depriving the public of the
use and enjoyment Of them in the way and
manner contemplated in their dedication to
the public. The municipal authorities lack
vast deal Of having unlimited power, and are
merely the agents and trustees Of the people
in the management Of municipal affairs, and
when they overstep the just limits Of their au-
thoriiy, they may be restrained by the writ Of
injunction.
Proprietors of lots abutting on the river are
held to own to the middle of the river (ii it be
not navigable stream), and as such have an
indisputabe right to object to having it made
the receptacle for all the excrementitous filth
Of the city and thereby converted into
a nuisance. Persons purchased lots
on the river preferable to lots re-
mote from it, because they esteemed
this frontage on the river an advantage by
reason Of its greater facility for obtaining
water for washing, cooking and bathing pur
poses, and they have a legal right to object to
the destruction of this advantage. So, also,
owners of lots abuttng on the irrigation
bitches have a right to object to any change in
their character and use, which would pervert
them from the original purpose for which they
were constructed and dedicated to the public.
The case Of San Antonio VS.. Lewis, in 7
reNasH nd in IS Texas. 33S, explicitly decides
that the municipal authorities cannot ALLEVIATE
the plazis nor withdraw them from the use Of
the ublic. TO which they were originally dedi-
Gated by the King Of Spain. BY analogy, the
same rule Of law IL applicable to the river and
the irrigation bitches within the corporate
linn IS. the municipal authorities cannot per-
vert them from their original and proper pur-
poses aud annul their dedication to the public
The Mayor and Aldermen cannot lay their
paws on the river and irrigation bitches; they
are above their reach. Bless the Lord
Oh, my soul! Common sense requires that
the sewers be cmptied into the river below the
city, and have yet to learn that il is safe to
disregard and run counter to common sense,
even in sanitary matters or municipal affairs.
As Guizot said, Common sense is the genius
Of mankind" ard may add it is not drug

A Change of Sentiment.

The newspaper editor who has been vexing
his soul over the way the youth of the land
gulped down dime novels of the blood and
thunder sort can feel better. A change of
sentiment has already betrayed itself, and
there is reason to hope that "One- Eyed Dick"
and "Dead-Shot Jim" will soon be out Of
print. Yesterday lad Of fourteen, who has
devoured about thousand FIVE and ten cent
novels during the last year, entered Wood
ward avenue news-store, and when the clerk
handed him down "The Black Demon of The
Prairies," and other late publications of the
sort, he turned away with a sigh and re-
marked:

"Why, what's the matter.

The dealer couldn't find such book, and

that he guessed he'd have to get a pair Of
