UNDERSTANDING GUESSES.
The City Buying Back Property Claimed
10 Have Been Stolen.

~ oCCtf olOfChs
A large amount of expert testimony was
taken III the Canal street widening case IN
the Superior Court yesterday. Several real
estate dealers were placed upon the stand TO
estimate the value of the l ,6l6 square feet of
land, condemned at the Bradley corner for
the widening of Canal street. The estimates
of the amount of damages ranged from
nothing up 10 $4,000. Canal and ColdbrOok
streets meet at an obtuse angle. and the land
condemned is of peculiar shape, and leaves
Mr.. Bradey's lots in a somewhat uncertain
condition, as Is evinced by the wide ranging
guesses of the real estate men. Ninety one
feet were measured off on the property from
the corner, ,on both Canal and Coldbrook sts.,
and the proposed boundary of the street
was made by striking the arc of circle
passing through these established points.
The street at the mooted corner would be
widened thirty-one feet by this process.
Hon. G. G. Comstock claims this property,
or a sufficient amount to properly widen
the street, originally belonged to the city:
Coldbrook street was surveyed and estab
lished 100 feet wide but the property owners
on the south side of the street kept pushing
their fences out into the highway until the
street il now but SO feet wide. The seven
een-foot strip the property holders now own
only by the right of possession, and the city
Is thus virtually buying back what she has
allowed others to steal from her. The jury
in the case viewed the premises yesterday,
and will hear the arguments this morning
and the case will probably be disposed of to-
daV.

Youth OF Ferdinand Ward.

The Caledonia, New York, 1dUtrtiSer
says: Strange things happen in this
world, but one of the strangest in this
century was the manner of Gen. Grant'G
ruin and by such an instrument as Fer.
dinand Ward. During the lapse OF
time between 1861 and 1876, while
Grant was winning worldwide fame as
a soldier in the field and as President of
the United States, the person that was
destined to drag him in sorrow and mis-
cry to the grave was an unpromising
Geneseo STRIPPING, a youth without
honor at home and unknown outside of
the village limits-in short, a good-for-
nothing young hummer, apparently
without a single qualification that
would mark him as one likely to win in
future life so much as a nod of recogni.
ton even from the mightiest soldier and
most illustrious citizen of the United
States of his day. And yet, if this young
scallawag had been shot in one OF his
rlbald sprees or struck by lightning,
Gen. Grant would in all human proba-
bility have been rich and enjoying mod
erately good health to-day, for however
obscure Ferd. Ward was as a boy, there
was a certain devilish, latent talent
there for cunning and wild speculation
possessed, perhaps, by no other human
being, ana, as it happened, those pecu-
liar qualifications were so directed as
uot only to hoodwink, deceive and ruin
the unsuspecting Grant, but men of ripe
experience in financial affairs. Had a
s~oothsayer appeared in Geneseo twenty
years ago and predicted such a future
for the lad Ward, he would have been
sent to a lunatic asylum as a dangerous
character to be at large. Such are the
mysterious ways of Providence in shap-
ing our ends here below.

How Long We Should Sleep.
SEVEN HOURS FOB DAY LABORERS AND
RIGHT FOR MEN OF ACTIVE BRAINS.

The latest authority on this ve1ed
question, DR.. Mains, says that the
proper amount of sleep to be taken by
o man is eight hours. So far as regards
city life the estimate is probably cor
rect. Proverbial wisdom does not apply
to modern conditions of social existence.
Give (hours) for q man, sever for a
woman, and nine for q pig" says II
proverb ; and a second, quoted by Mr..
Hazlitt in his English Proverbs, DECLARES
that nature requires five custom allows
seven ~laziness takes nine and wicked
ness takes eleven. These conclusions
were. however, drawn from observations
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 sepa-
rated from the ordinary process of
thought and anxiety, has not found that
he could, without difficulty, do with u
couple of hours less sleep than be was
in the habit of taking? Men, however,
who follow an intellectual pursuit are
exceptionally fortunate if the processes
of restoration occupy less than seven
hours. More frequently they extend to
eight or nine hours. Kant, / see it is
stated, took never less than seven hours.
Goethe owned to requiring nine. Sol
diers and sailors, on the other hand, like
laborers, do with much less quantity. l
am afraid to say how few the Duke of
Wellington regarded as essential. A
schoolmaster, under whom at one time I
sudied, a hard working man at the &C.
QUESTION Of languages, proclaimed loud
~ that he never took more than five
hours sleep. The hour at which be rose
in the morning gave some color to this
assertion. Only in after life did I dis
cover that a two hours postprandial
siesta was not included in that allow
ance.
