What Mr.. Manning is he owes to himself.
His boyhood was so hard and short that at
nine years of age he was forced to earn a liv-
ing as office boy in The Albany Argus, where

William Cassidy, the EDITORS, good graces
He was sterdy, bright-faced, active lad,
with a direct, simple way of saying things,
that soon made him available as a reporter
In time Cassidy made him city editor, and
on Cassidy's death years afterwards he step
ped into his place. Perhaps the rarest luck that
ever befel Daniel Manning was the liking
William Cassidy took to him. The editor Of
The Argus was not only keen politician, an
accomplished scholar and brilliant writer,
but he was one of the most highly bred men
ever known in Albany society. From his
honest Irish parents young Manning got the
rugged constitution and powerful frame that
have been to him more than fortune and a
college diploma. But from William Cassidy
he learned suave courtesy and easy dignity.
1t has often been said that no man could as
sociate with Cassidy and not learn to behave
like gentleman. Mr.. Manning has been tho
president Of bank, leader in the enterprise
Of Albany and the greatest single power in
his community. He has great common senSe
and business sagacity, qualities that have
made his paper apower and turned heoppor-

 The St. James Gazette gives the following account of an interesting case: If a sover- eign is given to cabman by his fare, both parties believing it to be 8 shilling, and an hour later the cabman discovers and keeps the sovereign, has he stolen ita The argu- ment of this question before the Court for Grown Cases Reserved on Saturday morning afforded excellent entertainment to a-pEofss-4 sional audience. The difficulty is, that to "take and carry away amino furandi" is an essential part of the common-law defni- ton of larceny, and that in this case the cab man did not form felonious intention about the sovereign when he took it and carried it away, because he then believed it to be shilling. On behalf of the crown it was urged that either he took it when he knew it was a sovereign, or the felonious intention which he subsequently formed relates back to the time when he took it. Before the argument had gone far it was apparent that the five judges who were hearing the case were not agreed, and while Lord Coleridge had no doubt that the sovereign was stolen, MT. Justice Stephen was equally positive that it was not. MT. Justice Cave further complicated matters by throwing out sug- gestion that the cabman might perhaps have committed the statutory offense called lar ceny by bailee. In the result the Lord Chief Justice announced that the bench was so seriously divided in opinion that there must be further argument before full court-that is, the whole Queens Bench Division

Unintended JoAke on Gen. shern

ns
 The Washington correspondent of the Cleveland (Ohio) Leader makes Col. A. H. Markland responsible for the following story: ''When General Sherman's army was at Goldsborough, N. Cs Gen. Sherman made a visit to the headquarters of Gen. Howard. While there Gen. Sherman felt the need of small draught of whisky to drive off the malarial effects of the climate on his system Now, all the officers of the army knew of Gen. Towards rigid temperance proclivities, and were strict in their respect for them Gen. Sherman knew there was no whisky in Gen. Towards quarters, and, therefore, did not mention his wants to Gen. Howard. Presently Dr. John Moore, the medical direc- tor, came in, and after little conversation Gen. Sherman gave him the wink, and said: Doctor, have you a seidlitz powder in your quarters?' The doctor answered that he had. Gen. Howard spoke up and said: Gen. Sher- man, it is not necessary to go to the doctors quarters, I have plenty of seidlitz powders here, and good ones too. will get you one.' If there was anything in Gen. Towards quarters that Gen. Sherman did not want it was a seidlitz powder, and therefore he said to Gen. Howard: Never mind, Generali Give yourself no trouble. Howard was get ting the powder and glasses of water ready. I will be going by Moore's quarters after while Dr. Moore was @ great wag and quickly took in the situation and became party to the joke on Gen. Sherman. He said to Gen. Sherman: By the way, general, I don't think I have 8 seidlitz powder in my quarters, and you had better take the one Gen. Howard has, By this time Gen. Howard had the powder already for use and handed the two glasses to Gen. Sherman. Rather than offend Howard by saying he meant whisky he drank the foaming stuff down, much to his own disgust, to the satis- faction of Gen. Howard, and to the amuse- ment of the staff ofice1s.'

HOW LONG WE SHOULD SLEEP.

Seven Hours for Day Laborers an d
 Eight for Men of Active Brains.
 The latest authority on this vexed ques tion, Dr. Malins, says that the proper amount of sleep to be taken by man is eight hours. So far as regards city life the estimate is probably correct 'Proverbial wisdom does not apply to modern conditions of social ex- istence. ''Five (hours) for man, seven for g woman and nine for pig" says one pro- verb; and second, quoted by MT. Hazlitt in his English proverbs, declares that "nature requires five; custom allows seven; laziness takes nine and wickedness eleven" These conclusions were, however, drawn from ob- servation of country life. Physical fatigue is more easily overcome than intellectual. Which of us when travelling in the country or abroad, or in any way separated from the ordinary process of thought and anxiety, has not found that he could, without difficulty, do with couple of hours less than he was in the habit of takings Men, however, who follow ae intellectual pursuit gre exceptional ly fortunate if the processes of restoration occupy less than seven hours. More fre- quently they extend to eight or nine hours Kant, sec it stated, took never less than seven hours. Goethe owned to require nine Soldiers and sailors on the other hand, like lsborers, do with much less quantity. I am afraid to say how few the Duke of Yelling ton regarded as essential. A schoolmaster under whom at one time I studied, hard working man at the acquisition of languages, proclaimed loudly that he never took more than five hours sleep. The hours at which he rose in the morning gave some color to this assertion. Only in after life did I dis cover that two hours postprandial siesta was not included in that allowance.

 The latest experiment in the organization of industry comes from Russia, where the employees at the large engineering works be- longing to the firm of Struve & Go. have re- gently been planted in complete settlement somewhat like Pullman City in the States. The workmen, of whom there are between $500 and 1000, are all lodged in small cot tages, most of which are made to accommo- date two families only, while the public in stitutions of the colony include rsfeotory, laundry, hospital, benefit society, a technical school and cooperative store. The employers contribute handsomely to the benefit society, but charity in any other form is quite unknown in the place, and the CO., operative society pays fourishing dividend. It would be curious if Russia, which is g sur vivaI of the past in it's village communities of an agricultural type, were also to be a pi- oneer of ths future in village communities of an industrial type.

The Music i'm Trinity Church.

The MuSfc In Trinity Churchs
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 While not attempting to defend the writer of the article in the Palladium of Saturday last relating to the new Trinity choir, I wish to take exception to the remarks made by Mr. A. Heaton Robertson in both the Regis ter and Union last Saturday evening in re- ferring Gndirectly, it is true, but none the less plainly to our present choir and the ex- cellent church music rendered" by it.
 MT. Robertson says: Trinity church will for the first time in number of years have CHURCH MUSIC, and that too rendered with a style and effect that will please all" It is somewhat strange that if the members of Trinity church and the Emusic committee" have not been satisfied with the music that has been given for number of years past, the present efficient management should nave been retained for six years, and further, It is very singular that the members of the ouartette (yyho, Mr. A. Heaton Robertson in- sinuates. have been incapable of rendering church music' with the s'style and finish" which MT. R. so much desires,) should have been so promptly engaged by other churches as soon as it became known that they would not sing at Trinity next year. Still further, the article in the Palladium is correct in stating that very few of the boys are familiar with the church service, and the author might have gone still fur tner and said that the chances are that none of the newly engaged tenor and bass singers are familiar with it; and it would seem that serious error had been committed in not securing the five or six gentlemen, in the present choir whe have been there for years,

who are thoroughly acquainted with the church service, and who would have been 8 power and support in the new choir. Is this the result of apathy or 'ignoranceF'
 Furthermore, MT. A. Heaton Robertson may be right when he says that the Emusic committee are enthusiastic on the subject" for is he not newly elected s'member of music committee of Trinity parish!" Unfor- tunately, the music committee does not con- stitute the whole church. Either he or another prominent member of the committee is mistaken or else radical change has taken place within very short time, for it has been stated oa good authority that the music committee refused to have anything to do with the matter in the beginning, and that only out of respect for and in deference to the wishes of the rector has the innovation been adopted.
 MT. Robertson evidently takes it for grant ed that bit of news gathered by 8 reporter is published by some interested person as the result of either ignorance or malice. Ask the reporter who wrote it, MT. Robertson. A MEMBER OF THE CHURCH BUT NOT OF
 THE EMUSIC COMMITTEE"
