And upright as itself, compare
With other mems as IL outvics

Since first this Earth bcheld the sun.

But when this marble has grown gray,
While men and time continue, they

THE senate of the Illinois legislature
passed unanimously resolution asking
congress to vote for the Edmunds bill
placing Gen. Grant upon the retired list.
The house, however, by n strict party
vote referred similar resolution to q
committee with instructions to insert the
name of Fitz John Porter, 1t was the
desire to vindicato Porter that prevented
the ox-confcdcrate congressman, who
profted by his disobcdence of orders dur.
ing the war, from doing an act of justice
to Gen. Grant. IL will be consolation
to them to know that Mr.. Haines branch
of the Illinois legislature sympathizcs
with their hostility to Grant and love for
Porter. 1t is tho first commentator
hey have thus far received.

Mistakes in Personal Identity.

Boston Herald. .
The whole history Of criminal trials
is strewn with these mistakes in ident-
ity. There was a celebrated case of
highway robbery in III adjoining coull-
tyseveral years ago, in which there was
an almost complete chain of evidence
against the criminals tried, including
his full identification by; his victim,
!. who was robbed by him in broad day
light. Yet the trial resulted in his &C
quittal The weak point in the case
was that the person robbed-a most
astimable and conscientious man-had
before identified another party as the
robber. He was more sure, he
said, in the latter case, but
his previous mistake proved
fatal 70 his testimony. In the cele-
DRAFTED casesof DR.: eParkman, q num-
Der of witnesses went upon the stand
and swore that they. SAW Dr.. Parkman
in the street after it was proved that
he must have been murdered by DR..
Webster, If murdered at all by him.
Yet the jury convicted Dr.. Webster,
having no faith in those Witnesses. ),
DR.. Parknan was one OF the most pc
culiar men in appearance in Boston,
especially when walking in the street"
The supposition was that these Wit
nessess we're either mistaken az, to the
time o.. that they took another per-
son for DR.. Parknan The latter was
more probable, us there was /, man in
the city who resembied him. These
are only specimens OF a long list of
similar mistakes which might be in
stanced. u

saw tho black storm approaching, but as it
was rain storm. When it struck
the boat he discovered that it's iInnlenss
force came Of its rotary motion. He9and
several others were thrown through hole
to the lower deck and all the upper works
were swept away likechaff.' Passing over
the river striking Pitts Island, the storm
!! passed over that portion of the Twenty
! fifth ward OF Philadelphia known as Rich
mond In its ravages in Camden scores
OF dwelling houses were nnroofed and some
CT them thrown down, and the damage to
the business property along. the river front
is enormous. Hundreds Of families are
rendered homeless. It's path was almost
due north from. the Fort Ricl,mond coal
wharves. About $50 dwelling houses were
| wrecked or so badly damaged as to be rem

struck the Major Reybold, which was par

to the air. A. tremendous roaring preced-
ed it. The moving fury resemhled IL dense
mass Of rolling black snakes and it ira veled

noticed. This was huge ball of fire. fully

A DeInora1ized bureau;

Washington Special. The report OF the
committee, consisting OF Messers. Thorne,
Garrison and Huntington, upon their ill
vestigatian OF the coast survey, has been
submitted to the secretary OF the treasury
It states: 3d. .-., . + +
q. They took possession Of the bureau July "a
and conducted an investigation, leaving no
ground for doubt that the actual condition
ofithc survey was one decentralization and
it's working inefficient, unjust, and to some
extent disreputable. The regulations are
partially to blame, but the late superirl-
tendent is chargeable with q willingness to
avail himself OF opportunities for q contin-
uance OF abuse, weakness and procrasti ina
ton, favoritism and arrogance, disregard
OF regulations and notorious use of intoxi-
cants. This combination seems to have
been demoralizing to his subordinates.
The investigation showed a large number
of irregularities, which are setforth atgreat
length, and which involve reckless extrava-
gance/ and gross mislnanagement. The
committee find: ..-..s-...
Prof. Hilgard's habits and methods, his
failure OF the faculty or peryersion OF mod
crate sense unfit him for a position OF re.
sponsibility. The dismissal OF Col. Bou-
telle from. the service lis perhaps undeserv-
ed, but his restoration to his former place
is deprecated. The restoration OF G. A.
Saeymuller would be detrimental to the
morals OF the coast survey. Ez

Colonel and Mrs. WIN. King Win a Great
Suit.

Decisions fled in the now famous King
Remington suits, involving the ownership
OF q large amount Of property, chiefly
situated in the neishborhool Of Lakes
Calhounand Harriet, and known as theLyn-
daleiarm. Col. King decided his land to Phi
10 Remington in trust to secure him in an
Indebtedness amounting to severalhundred
thousand dollars, and q. contract was
extended by which restitution was to be
made when the Indebtedness, with interest,
had been fully paid. The claim was made
by the defendants thatnbsolutet title Nasse-
cured by the redemption OF property sold
under foreclosure proceedings, and by pur-
chase by the defendants ofthe equity atthe
bankrupt sale. The,court holds that the
deed OF trust was i'll legal effect q mortgage,
and that none Of the claims under which
title to the property is sought to be estab-
iished ore valid. The court therefore ORDERS
an accounting to be madeby the defendants
as step to secure settlement OF the claim.
In the case brought by Caroline NJ. King,
the court holds that the property could not
be taken to pay the debt, and that rcstitu-
ton must be made ,and orders an accounting
to follow the accounting in the case Of Will
Hams. King. The amount it is believed win
accrue to Mrs. King under this decision is
estimated at 1895, 900 and the attorneys
OF Col. King estimate that there will accrue
to him about $500, 0OC additional.
