Dennis O'Connor, appellant, VS.. John Hughes,

Sylabus-A contract for the sale Of land
prescribed definite times for the payment of
the purchase price and contained terms
which, standing alone impaired an agreement
for strict performance, and that the times
specified for payment should be deemed to be
of the essence of the contract; but it further
provided that in case of any default in such
strict performance, the vendor should have
the right to declare the contract null and
void. 1t was further agreed that all overdue
payments should bear an increased rate of
interest. Held, that the contract gave to
the vendor the election to determine whether
strict performance should be required;
that in the absence of a determination to re-
quire strict performance and reasonable no.
tice of such election the mere default Of the
vendee to make the specified payments would
not operate to extinguish his equitable rights;
and subsequent declaration OF forfeiture by
the vendor without notice and reasonable OPP
portunity to make payment was also ineffec-
tual. Affirmed. DICKINSON, j.

Syllabus-An affidavit of the publication of
notice of a mortgage sale in foreclosure
proceedings by advertisement was made by
appending to q copy of the notice as orig
inally published copy Of a notice of ad-
journment stating that the foregoing sale is
adjourned until the 9th day of October, 1854
The original notice designated Sept. 29. 1864
for the sale. To these copies an
affidavit was appended stating that
1.-The above notice of mortgage foreclosure
sale'' was printed for the period of six weeks,
1.-The last publication being made on the 2Sth
day of September 1854, and that said notice
of adjournment of said sale was printed and
published in said paper on Wednesday, the
5th day OF October, 1864" The sale was
made on the 9th day of October. This affda-
Wit being received in evidence as proof of the
publication, construed as showing the publ
cation on the 9Th day Of October of only the
notice of adjournment and not of the original
notice also; and the notice of adjournment
not containing all the essential requisites of
a notice of sale the publication so made was
insufficient to authorize sale. Such proof
considered as overcoming any prima facie ev-
idence of the regularity of the notice which
may attach to the sherlff's certificate of sale
by virtue of chapter H. General Laws, 1883,
the judgment must be set aside and a new
trial awarded. DICKINSON, ].

The county jails and their management as
well have been improved good deal with
in few years, thanks to the attention which
the iaep-rtors nave gwen there. There is
still good deal to be done, however, before
all OF them will be model institutions of their
kind. Now that the old Jail in Hancock coun-
ty has been superseded by new one the
Waldo county Jail seems to be entitled to the
questionable distinction of being the worst in
stitution of the kind in the State. tits entirely
unfit for the purpose it is designed to fulfil
and 1t is to be hoped the inspectors will keep
hammering away at il until it is demolished
The jail in Kennebec county seems to be a
house of refuge for tramps. who spend the
winter there In idleness at the public ex
pense. This is a scandalous state of things,
but the remedy is easy and easily applied
Compel the inmates to work and the nui-
sance will soon be abated. Out in York
county some years ago two of the Jail con-
yicts went off fishing one day and getting so
drunk that they could not get back tele-
sraphed the jailor their condition and he had
to send carriage for them. There has been
considerable improvement since then in the
management of this Institution, but the pris-
oners seem still to have large measure of
iiberty-rather more in some cases than is
compatible with punishment, which is the
design generally of sending men to jail
The only county in the State which has no
jail is Piscataquis, not because the people
there are all SO good that one is not needed,
but because they don't want to spend the
money. The jail in Somerset, according to
the inspectors, is in large degree run by
the prisoners, condition of things which
the inspectors very properly object to.

rial Province Though in many respects the
position of Emin Bey is like Gordon's the
expedition will differ very much from
Wolseleys. The Soudan is a waste of howl
ing Arabs; relief must reach Wadelai where
the Austrian now holds out from the coast of
the Indian Ocean and through the lands of
the negro potentates who rule between Fan
zibar and the head waters of the Nile, the
lakes of Albert and Victoria Nyanza. If the
expedition can reach Albert Nyanza Emin
Bey can probably meet it with steamers, for
even in those seqaestered waters two we'll
fitted steamers are plying. Mr.. Stanley's
problem viii be to reach the lake. He will
not lead a military expedition, for it is not
military help that Emin Bey needs, but sup
lies such as cotton goods and beads with
which to pay off his black soldiers, and the
presence of a few white men to show
to the wild tribes around that the pow
erful Europeans have not forgotten him
A well organized caravan, accompan-
led by a few Europeans, will, in
English opinion, be the sort of expe-
dition needed. and they estimate the expense
at about $15O,OO0 But there are many diff
Al TIC way DCSiOCS btlC QlSttliCt, WHICH
is upwards of thousand miles. There is to
be traversed the barbarous country of Ugan-
da whose king, Mwanga, has just murdered
Bishop Harrington and scores of Christian
converts. 1t is the conduct of this king in
fact, which makes the expedition at all diff
cult. His father, King Mtesa, well mean
ing old barbarian, was Stanley's friend and
possibly the remembrance of this friendship
may soften Mwanga in Stanley's favor. But
so far the young scamp" as the English
call him, has done everything to complicate
the difficulties of Emin Bey's position. The
latter sent his last letter out by way of the
Kingdom Of Unroyo. a land ruled over by
King Kabba Rega. But Mwanga sent an ex-
petition and conquered Unroyo, killed Kabba
Rega and ten thousand of his subjects, and
laid the country SO completely waste that
Emin Bey is now wholly cut off from com
munication. But Stanley seems confident of
his ability to manage the brutal Mwanga,
and has offered to lead the expedition for
the British government through Uganda
without reeompense, and assuming himself
all risks of death or captivity.

sTANLEY's TASK.

After Gordon had fallen and the British
gunboats had turned back under the fire of
the batteries which Ell Mahdi turned on them
from the captured defences of Khartoum,
the civilized world ceased to take interest in
the torrid and barbarous regions ON the Up
per Nile. But Lord Wolseley turned his
back on British responsibilities as well as on
the hordes Of wild Arabs. Far south of the
S0udan, on the broad tablelands where the
three great rivers of Africa, the Nile, the
Congo and the Zambezi find their sources
In lakes and rivulets warmed by the direct
rays of an equatorial sun, lies a province of
great and underlined extent which was, be
fore the days of Ell Nahdi, a dependency of
the Khedive of Egypt. 1t is a land of stall
wart blacks who, by Gordon's help, drove
of the Arab slave hunters and began to
to dwell again in such contentment and lux
ury as primitive race may enjoy. Gordon
sent to these tribes as governor, an Aus
trian scholar, DIR. Emin, who became, as
governor, Emin Bey. The tide of Arab ia
naticism which overwhelmed Gordon at
khartoum, and chased the British regiments
down the Nile and up to the from
tiers of Egypt, swelled also against the
frontiers of the Equatorial Province and the
black regiments of Emin Bey. But the gal
liant Austrian, with no Europeans to aid him,
but DIR. Junker, Russian explorer, and Cap
tain Cassati. an Italian traveller, has held
his own. About the first of last January
Dr. Junker set out to escape by way If Fan
ziDar on the Indian Ocean, as journey by
the Nile through the Soudan was out of the
question. He got through, and his letters
which described Emin Bey as reduced to
great straits, have been received in Europe.
Another letter, however, which Emin Bey
wrote as late as last July and succeeded in
forwarding to the coast of the Indian Ocean
by Arabian leaders gives more hopeful ac-
count of his position, and his resolution to
remain at his post until relieved by the
Egyptian government
The English government realizes its re-
sponsibility to rescue this gallant adventur-
er. and there is little doubt it is for this pur-
pose that Mr. Stanley will start for Zanzibar
tomorrow. The English government has
been for long time collecting information
and preparing to send relief to the Equato-

From the report Of the prison inspectors,
it appears that the number of convicts in
the State is smaller in proportion to the pop

The reports of the visitors to the Reform
School show that the institution is as perfect
as 1t is possible to make it under the present
system. No institution in the State has
shown so much Improvement, within few
years past as this one. Designed for a re-
formatory, it degenerated into a prison for
boys Within few years it has heen raised
out Of this slough and now more nearly than
ever before realizes the purpose for which it
was founded-a result due in no small de-
gree to the faithful and intelligent work of
the visitors and trustees. Further improve
ment must be looked for in a change of sys-
tenn and the adoption of the cottage plan
which Mrs. Hunt so earnestly recommends
The expense involved in the change will,
however, for good many years to come,
probably be regarded by our legislators as
an insuperablc obstable. But that the
best results will not be obtained until
this plan is adopted must be patent to
everybody who takes the trouble to compare
the two systems.

The Illinois legislature convenes January
and as the Republican have majority on
joint ballot of sixteen, there is no possibility
OF the election of anybody but a straight
Republican to ucceed the late Senator Lo-
gan. The gentlemen at present mentioned
as possible candidates are Gov Oglesby,
Charles b, Farwell, Congressman Payson,
Henderson and Cannon, ex-Congressman
Horatio G. Burchard, Major James A. Con-
nelly, and Jehu Baker. the man who beat
Morrison. Ex-Gov. Washburn is a remote
possibility, and ex-Secretary Lincoln may
come prominently to the front if
he can be induced to reconsider his
determination to retiIe from politics
permanently. Farwell is very popular
man, being rich and generous, and Oglesby
is strong with the soldier element though his
temporizing conduct in the recent railroad
riots will probably unfavorably affect
his chances.
