The current number of BFadstreet's con. tains an interesting review of the building trade in the principal cities of the country. It appears that, on the whole, building il brisker in 1883 than 1t was in 1882 or 1881. Sixteen cities, giving complete reports, have expended S19, 400. 900 on II, ,15o buildings in 1881; $27, 7,o06, 900 expended on IA, Al build. ings in 1882; while, during eight months in 1885, $26, ,00s, 900 were expended on 14, o6e buildings.
 To-day is election day in Ohio, and nobody seems to know what is going to happen, al though it is generally acknowledged that the Republicans have st least faiE chance tc win. The disturbing clement in the calcula. tions is the prohibitionists' vote, which will hard, and 1t is said that to day women will take their places at the polls and distribute ballots for the prohibition amendment, and alse coffee, to tho voters. Children will sing at the voting rooms, and prayer meetings will also be instruments used.
 The General Term of the Supreme court in New York city has decided question ei bankruptcy of much interest to business men. The court holds that the discharge oi debtor under the English Bankrupt act is no bar to g suit brought against him or his property in this country by an American creditor who was not g party to the English bankruptcy proceedings. But when the American creditor proves his debt in Eng land and accepts the composition offered by the debtor the case is different. In that event the bankrupt cannot afterward be pro. ceedsd against in this country.
 Scientific gentlemen have made very nice measurements of the brains of malsfactors, whence they have determined that certain cerebral maIformatfons are generally to ba found in the criminals head after death, and that the most unvaxyinG signs are In or near the Assure of Rolando. But at recent meet. ing of the Sooiets Anatomique, the brain of q deceased woman was shown, one half oi which was very much more defornsd than precisely the same parts-the Assures of Ro. lando and Silvius-shich the men of science had declared to be attended with terrible
 moral consequences. The woman was of ex' celient character. The report RraveIy says 'eIt is difficult to establish relation between theRe two orders of facts.''

The decision of the Judge-Advocate.G Gene ral of the United States army in the case of Lieutenant Simpson. of the Third cavalry, is generally commended, as it ought to be. In reviewing the case he takes exception to the verdict of guilty and the sentence of dismiss sal and recommends their reversal Lieuten- ant Simpson was charged with 'conduct un- becoming an officer and gentleman" be- cause he married female with whom he had been previously living without the sanction Of the church. We like the way the New York World states the case. It says: His offenss was not in keeping mistress. He might have emulated Brigham Young in the number and variety of such associations with out offending the pride and dignity of the ''oficers and gentlemen who hold comu,is sions in the Third cavalry of the United States army. That would in their estimation evil dently have been very geatlemanly and off r-ike. But when he repaired the wrong he had done to young girl; whom he restor- ed hsr ts society and self-respect; when he redeemed his owucharscter and acted like a man of honor and morality, they declined further association with him and charged him with t'conduct unbecoming an officer and & gentleman" And court martial of military popinjays finds the charges sustained and sentences the1ieutenant to dismissal from the service.

 Our elns have not ss yet attained their full girth and stature. In the course of another century some of them will have deserved Q wide reputation. Our best known tree is the big elm by the town pump at the Church and Chapel street corner of the Green. This may be considered as the very central place of the city, being the starting point of the various lines of street cars and a gathering place for the people on public occasions. It Is said that other things being equal there is 6 natural law for cities to expand in & west ern direction in preference to any other. Onr city1s largely going That way so in time, if not now, the Green will be at about the cen ter of population.
 We have measured this tree and find that st two feet from the ground it's girth is six teen feet, and at five feet an inch less than fourteen feet It's height is ssventy-ive to eighty feet. With 8 single exception this girth is the greatest in our city. That excsp- tion Is the first tree on Grove street west of the entrance to Hillhouse avenue. which has at five feet greater girth, and which will be fully described in another chapter.
 The history of this tree is interesting, Our informant is John Peckham who had it from William H. Ellis, collector of the port of New Haven in Jaokson's administration, and gentleman who was careful in his state ments. This elm owes it's existence on that spot to an eccentric character, ''Old Jerry Alling." poet and pedagoRue of Hamden Plains. He brought it from there on his shoulder, distance of some three miles, and on the very day of the death of Benjamin Franklin, April IT, 1790. After several ines- feotual attempts to sell the tree, he applied to Thaddeus Beecher, who kept grocery on the Exchange corner, where Klock's drug store HOW is. MT. Beecher did not want 1t, but, as old Jerry was persistent, being fired of ''totipg" it around, finally made 8 bargain with him to plant it over on the pump cor ner. His compensation was half pint of rum, which he wanted to pour over some camphor gum, paper of pins, and, MT. Peokham thinks, tallow candle, but being conscientious will not 50 affirm
 As Jerry was what they call ia character" we parse to contemplate him. We have said he was poet. He had bis verses printed and was accustomed to go among our citizens and reoite them. A verge is here given from 8 poem composed by him on the occasion of the great fire on Long wharf, October 2S, 1Q0o.

The following is theresolution adop-
ted by the NJ. E. Conference at Huron

Resolved, a.That we mean to- carry
out our part Of the work to bring IDa-
kotainto the Union with prohibition
in the organic law, and for that reason
oppose the constitution prepared by
the Sioux Falls convention. We will
vote for no man for office who is not
avowedly in favor of prohibition, and
will put forth every effort incur power
to secure the admission Of Dakota as
the first. territory entering the Sister
hood of States with prohibitionsin the
constitution. r. II. poLLIvlER."

a blow by u votes. II il cruel to
strike a dead child and to give it med

stitutional prohibition forever and to
vote only for men committed to the

bored 10 hard at Sioux Falls. What
ever our opinion as citizens may be, we
should not as members Of the NJ. 3.

strike against SO able body of men as
composed the Sioux Falls convention.
We stand az church upon theSrock of
Prohibition, and the grandsoldship has
stood there heedashed with the waves
Of sin for many . century, And as

convention has given us q good, clean

and work for more. We cannot lift
ourselves by pulling upon our boot
straps, and Archimedes desired aplace
to stand upon ere he. could move the
world. The constitutionswil give us
a place y stand upon aud with the lev
