When lease contained stipulation

Uses of and from the lessor at any time
before the expiration of the lease, for a
stipulated sum to be paid down in cash
to the lessor upon the demand of deed
prior to the expiration of the lease, the
Supreme Court of Minnesota recently
held that payment of the same within
the time limited was an essential con-
dition to the consumation of any bind
ing contrast of sale. The court took
the view that the lease amounted sub
tantially to written proposition or offer
to sell upon tho proposed terms, and
that the assent or got of acceptance,
whether by payment or the fulfllment
of some other condition, was neccessa-
rily, to be made within the time
limited, otherwise no contract could
be consumated.

General Crook the great Indian fight
or, gave the graduating cadets at West
Point sensible talk on their gradua7
ton, which they will do we'll to heed.
He told them that the greatest fault of
young soldiers was "idleness and mental
Incidence" and he warned them against
the temptations which follow such lazi-
ness. He also told them that they were
citizens, and that this country was made
up of citizens who rightfully were jeal-
GUS of the sword, and only used it as a
necessary evil and last resort. Our &C.
ographical> position sheltered us from
foreign aggression, and we have mo
need of armies to repress the tendency
Of the age towards seH-government;
therefore in the future, as in the past,
the army is likely to be hardly more
than national police, scarcely sufi-
oient to weakly garrison our scattered
frontier posts. !" He added that even on
the frontier the military would have lit
tie to do, as wars with the Indians are
practically over. Il is to be hoped that
the cadets will, in view Of this outlook,
take a modest view Of their career and
he willing to conduct themselves like
other citizens. /. ss.s.. .sz.,s III

The principal claimant against the
estate of Charles A. Repplier in the
suit now pending, Miss Amelia Priest
man, has history. Although in years
gone by she was belle and an heiress,
she has elected to remain single ever
since, She was engaged to be married
to DR.. Reeves, of q well-known Quaker
family, but, owing to some religious
difference, Miss Priestman being q
member of the Catholic Church, the
marriage was deferred. At the in
stance Of Mr.. Norris, who was appoint
ed, through the influence of Mr.. As
pinwall, Eof New York, Chief En-
gineer of the Panama Railroad,
DR.. Reeves went ..out with him to the
Isthmus. It was said Of this railway,
only twenty-five miles long, that man
died for every cross-tie laid down. How
ever this may be, it Is certain, in conse-
quence, there was great loss Of life, and,
among others, DR.. Reeves fell q victim
10 the prevailing malady. Miss Priest
man mourned him for many years, and
resolved never to marry any one else, 8
resolution she has religio usly kept. For
many years abe has occupied the finest
suite Of rooms in the Colonnade Hotel,
and keeps very much TO herself, being
seldom seen except when she goes out
for 81: oocasional drive ii her carriage.

The increase in size and tonnage of
the great ocean steamers has been so
gradual as to attract little attention, but
it is evident that within few years
vessels of 10000 tons will not be be-
yond the ordinary limit The great
Eastern was sensational experiment,
built under tho influence of Mr.. Brunei,
who was more interested in the enhance
ment of his own fame than for the prof.
its of the stockholders, and was a fail
ure not so much on account of its I'M
wieldy size as because marine machinery

to it's condition. by natural growth and

such vessels as the Umbria, and her
probable successors, it is quite likely
that steamers as large as the Great
Eastern will be in successful operation
while she is yet afoat. !,

The fiscal year just closing will show
that over 1000, 600, 900 pounds of sugar
have been imported into this country
and consumed during the fiscal year, an
average of nearly forty five pounds per
head. To this must be added the sugar
manufactured in this country, which
brings the total consumption of this
article to nearly fifty pounds per head
per annum. That your average in
dividual should eat one-t third his weight
in sugar in year seems quite novel,
to say the least. The increase of sugar
imported over last year is nearly SEQ,
600, 900 pounds.

United States Minister Lew Wallace,
who is just come home from Turkey,
has high opinion of the Sultan. II
believe" he says, "there is no monarch
to-day actually administering Govern
:ment in Europe who is his superior.
He is man of great intelligence, and
has thorough appreciation of the
needs of his empire. He is an energetic
worker and devotes himself night and
day to the business that presents itself.
My candid opinion is that if he lives he
will carry out the reforms most press
ing upon him. He is q man of acute
intellect, sharp, shrewd and q thorough
diplomatist."

and as the town at chat time regarded
itself as too poor to rebuild, it was de-

While the country is crying for more
insane asylums, the following from q
writer who has studied the subject
thoroughly, is timely: "The people
must be taught that insanity is dis
ease of the brain, easily durable at the
beginning, best managed under change
of surroundings, and handled to inf
nitely better advantage by skilled men
at an institution devoted to the special
purpose with every scientific and pro-
fessional appliance for treating the
disease. The asylum is simply an hos
pital for special diseases, where the
means of cure are multiplied and con-
centrated."
The Sanitary Record is responsible
for the statement that, in 1870, the
following edict was solemnly passed
| and duly registered in France under
Louis XIV: "Whosoever, by means of
red or white paint, perfumes, essences,
artificial teeth, false hair, cotton wool,
iron corsets, hoops, shoes with high
heels, or false hips, shall seek to entice
into the bonds of marriage any male
subject of his Majesty shall be prose-
cuted for witchcraft and declared inca
| pable of matrimony".
The present average of speaking in
the United States Senate is about one
hundred and fifty words per minute,
though there are several speakers who
utter over two hundred. Among the
fastest speakers are Senators Beck,
Hawley, Plumb and Morgan. Beck
leads the list. Senior George of Miss
| issippi, is perhaps the slowest. Daniel
Webster was very slow talker, and he
would not average over one hundred
words minute. Henry Clay spoke
much faster, rolling out about one hun
dred and fifty words minute. Cal
houn was also slow until he became
reused up with enthusiasm of his sub
! ject when his words would flow more
rapidly.
According to Greek writer on
Egypt as it is that country both flows
with milk and honey and swarms with
locusts, in the shape of Englishmen.
| Not only are the British officers in Alex
andria and Cairo all powerful in their
own sphere, but tina best departmental
posts are occupied by their countrymen,
not one of whom will condescend to
take less than $4,000 a year, while
every one is prudent enough to insure
his salary being paid in advance. The
moment, too, he establishes himself he
finds berths for his nephews, cousins
and poor relations generally. So pill
! able prince as the Khedlve can surely
be induced to throw open his civil SER
| vice to competition.

Few of the Queer Articles Left by
Travellers on Railroad Trains.

The Baggage Agents Office is at
times made a depository for every arti-
Gle of clothing known to civilization,
from the strong and hardy sock to the
listless and bebilitated shirt collar.
People love to lose the oldest things
imaginable on excursion trains. Among
the lost articles sent to us from one of
them short time ago was found, aside
from the various articles of clothing, a
baby's nursing bottle switch of red
hair, a loaf of black bread, set of
false teeth, a dog, pistol, petrifed
mince pie and a small glass tube with
asuction-rod attachment, which looked
like small air-pump, but was not.
Prehaps one of the MOST remarkable
things We ever received was leg. A
Lake Shore conductor dragged it up
here one day laid it carelessly on the
desk, soaring the Office boy, who
was industriously whistling "She's a
Darling, She's a Daisy" SO bad that he
has never been able to get his mouth
entirely unpuckered to this day, while
the rest of the clerks were preparing to
20 out and relieve themselves, when
they discovered that the leg was wood
en- one. The conductor explained that
on inebriated individual, thinking the
air on the train, had created panic
compared to which Wall street was a
calm, placid affair, by unscrewing his
leg and tanning himself with it vigor-
ously, and finally, in a fit of absent
mindedness, limping off without it the
first time the train stopped. It lay
around the office for long time, but no
one ever called for it. The Office boy
in his more quiet and languid moments,
would strap 1T hnmpwildly
around the office with it, but It finally
fell into disuse and was laid away in q
dark aud cobwebbed corner, where an
enterprising mouse discovered and
raised family in the heel of il. -Cleve-

The rural sections of some of the
states are overrun with tramps who
have swarmed out of the cities with the
beginning of pleasant weather, and who
waylay school children and rob them of
food, insult and frighten women, and
commit all sorts of petty crimes and an
noyances. The laws, if enforced in let
ter and spirit, will partially cure this
evil, and officers should not be back
ward in performing their duty.

Swallowed bv a. Shark,

A cook on the steamship Chala fell

Every effort was made to rescue the
poor fellow, but suddenly the place be-
came alive with sharks, and it at once
became apparent the unfortunate man
was doomed Once he threw himseltt
almost completely out of the water in

ward he was evidently seized and
dragged under, as nothing more
was seen of him. Other sharks, APP
parently disappointed in their hopes of
prey, were then observed rushing
through the water in all directions, and
even aapeared to mediate an attack
on the boat, wnioii., AFTER All ineffectu:l
