The Hon. John keenan, of the County De-
mocracy, now unfortunately absent from the
city, has never been notorious for an un-
bounded trust in human beings. He was never
in the habit of giving credit 10 his fellow
citizens to such an extent as to iinperl his
pocket or his reputation for shrewdness He had
won celebrity as one of he cOldest, keenest and
slycst of the manipulators of our local politics.
Bat Mr. Keenan, has a physici whose faith in
his fellow -men is sufficiently extensive to sup
ply all deficiencies on Mr.. Keenans part. THIS
gentleman in a card printed in our news
columns to-day assures the anxious and SYM
pathetic community that Mr. Keenan, is really
sick. He informs the countless friends OF the
interesting Invalid that his patient is III the
county, that he has seen him within day or
two, but that Mr.. Keenan, is physically unable
to come to the city. He intimates further that
the sick man is not i'rely to recover his aD lity
to return to the city for some weeks to come.
1t was remarked, we believe, in the time OF
HippOcI ates, that the Condolences between
ply lcians certificates and some other things
were among the most satisfactory and scientific
arrangements in the economy ol nature.

HnRITIO NEIMOIR.

Eighteen wears ago two Of the most prominent
names before the Democratic Convention
which met in this city to nominate a candidate
for the Presidency were those of Horatlo Sey-
mour and General Hancock. To-day these
rivals fol barren honors sleep their last sleep
awaiting burial. In death they are not divided.
The caIeer and character of General Hancock
have already passed under review in these
columns. Governor Seymour was another
manner of man. His personality was as win
ming as that of the General, out his genius was
essentially of "A different order. Seymour had
a decided taste and aptitude for civil trnsts and
will always be included in the group of New
Yolk's great Governors. He was not only
thoroughly familiar with State affairs from "A
practical point of view, but ne had firm and
philosOphic grasp upon the underlying princi-
ples Of government. In word, he was an
accomplished sta esman.
If he hal been less of partisan he had been
more of a patriot. His Democracy never fal-
tered but as much cannot be sad OF ms
loyalty There viii be no disposition, however,
to dwell upon his war record-he was forgiven
long ago. Throughout his entire career he was
au extraordinarily popular man, nor were his ad-
mireIs by any means confined 10 his own party
or his own State. All over the United States
Hnratio Seymour WAS loved and honoIed by
troops OF TRENDS quite independent of party
lines. HIS later life was slngularly dignIfied
and publc-spritcd and he steadily grew in
the popular affection.
His death will cause widespread mourning.

him by reputation, with a sense of personal l5Ss.

Mr.. Jones, of Texas, would amend the bill to

The storm which arrived from the Gulf on
Thursday covered the whole country eastward
from the Rocky Mountains, although its
severity was greatest in the Middle Atlantic
States. The amount of rain which has fallen
within forty ght hours in this region is about
what is expected generally in the course of IA
month. Naturally our rivers are greatly
swollen but the absence of masses of snow has
prevented terrific freshets. In the West, where
the snow is deep, there has not been enough
rain to melt it rapidly and break up the rivers.

The collision between the two Staten Island
ferryboats, Bay Queen and Middletown, is not
without its encouraging feature. Both vessels
were gong at full speed and they struck each
other about as sqnarely as it is possible for TWO
boats to strike unless they try very hard, on a
fair day and with a clear field. Yet neither the
Bay Queen nor the MiddletOwn went down.
The inference is, therefore, that Staten Island
ferrybOat can't be sunk, try as hard as yon
please. Since both pilots belong to the same
line responsibility for the accident is family
affair. Doubtless Mr.. Erastus Wiman will see
to it that the man to blame yesterday does not
get a chance to repeat his fault.

The honorable legislators of the State of

that a subcommittee of the House of Repre-

struction of bridge over the Arthur Kill.
This, ii will be remembered, the New-Jersty
Legislature solemnly resolved that the United
States had no right to do, and they protested
against any violation of their States right.
Yet the subcommittee says that the United
States mas already authorized the building of
about fifty If these bridges, and on several
occasions where both States interested protested
against the project. This is sad blow to

Andrew Carnegie.
Philadelphia Ne,os.


David Brooks was manager of Pitts
burg railroad office when a boy named
Andrew Carnegie was messenger in it at
salary of So week. The boy had
just arrived with his father and mother
from Scotland, the land of his birth.
That was a very little more than 36
years ago, yet to-day he is the famous
millionaire iron-monger of Pittsburg.
Andrew Carnegie has said: Il owe my
rise in life to game of checkers I
will explain to you what that remark
means.
The elder Carnegie was moulder in
pottery. Like many Scotchmen, he
was exceedingly fond of playing check
ers. In Pittsburg, at that time, was a
well known ale house, in one room of
which those who loved to play checkers
were wont to assemble. Among them
were Carnegie and Brooks, and in this
way the two men became acquainted.
with his father, and he, too, tested
David Brooks powers at draughts. One
day the elder Carnegie remarked that he
did not know what to do with his son.
Send him down to my office, and will
make a messenger boy of him., said
Mr.. Brooks. The next day he began
his new employment. The lad was in
telligent and industrious. Manager
Brooks had an old telegraph instrument
fitted up in the office, and when the
messenger boys were not engaged he
showed them on this how to tick out
the Morse alphabet. With this instruc-
ton young Carnegie soon became a
skillful operator. Thomas A. Scott was
at that time Superintendent of the Penn
sylvania Railroad in Pittsburg. He had
telegraph instrument rugged up in his
office and wanted some one to manipu-
late the key. Manager Brooks recon-
mended young Carnegie, and he was
employed. He showed such aptitude
in managing the movement of trains by
telegraph that he was transferred to the
superintendent office in Altoona.
There he continued to attract the atten-
ton of Thomas A. Scott, and was rap
idly pushed along. He was given OPP
portunities to engage in some coal and
oil speculations that were successful,
and atterward made money from the
first sleeping cars that were built.

True Happiness.

The good wife hustled about the house,
Her face still bright with pleasant smile,
AS broken snatches of happy song
Strengthened her hand and heart the while.
The good man sat in the chimney nook,
His little clay pipe within his lips,
And all he'd made and all he'd lost,
Ready and clear ON his finger tips.
GOOD wife, I've just been thinking bit,
Nothing has done very we'll this year;
Money is bound to be hard to get
Everything's bound to be very dear;
How the cattle are going to be fed,
How we're to keep the boys at school,
Is kind Of debit and credit sum
Ican't make balance by my rule"
She turned her round from the baking bread,
And she faced him with cheerful laugh
"Why, husband, dear, one would think
That the good, rich wheat was only chat.
And what if the wheat was only chat,
As long as we both are we'll and strong?
I'm not a woman to worry bit,
Somehow or other we get along.
"In some lives some rain must fall,
Over all lands the storm must beat,
Bus.@hen the rain and storm are DER
The after sunshine Is twice as sweet.
Through every strait we have round rvnd,
In every grief we've found song;
We've had to bear and had to wait,
But somehow or other we get along.
"For thirty years we have loved each other,
Stood by each other whatever befell,
Six boys have called us father and mother,
And all of them living and doing well,
We owe no man penny, my dear,
We're both of US living, well and strong;
Good man, wish you would smoke again,
And think how well we're got along"
He filled his pipe with pleasant laugh;
He kissed his wife with tender pride.
He said "I'll do as you tell me, loves
I'll just count up on the other side."
She left him then with his better thought,
And lifted her work with low, sweet song
Song that followed me many a year,
Somehow or other we get along.
The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1886-10-02

The word 'trover' is an old term,
meaning 'to ind.' The action was so
named because it was the action origi-
nally used to recover the value of cattle
that had strayed from their owners into
the possession of other persons who found
them. 1t is now the action that is
brought by the owner of property against
the person who wrongfully possesses it
and refuses to give it up. 1t is ordinar-
lily resorted to when the ownership of
property is disputed. A common case
occurs when debtor has in his posses
sion property belonging to another per-
son. The creditor, believing that 1t
belongs to the debtor, seizes it by pro-
fon Of aS Sv end ag sss t R g pay h d s
acted for the creditor, and recover the
value of the property and damages for
the loss.
Ifa man sells a horse that he has hired
from livery stable, the owner may, by
this action, make the buyer pay for the
horse.
The holder of property, even if he
does not own it, has right to keep it
from all persons except the owner.
A chimney sweep once found val
liable jewel. He showed it to dealer
in such articles to find out what it was
worth. The tradesman, thinking the
sweep to be thief, refused to give it
back. The chimney-sweep brought an
action of trover, it was decided that
though not the owner, he had the best
right to it, and that the jeweler was liza
BILE in damages for not returning it.
This rule does not apply to stolen
goods. A thief cannot bring the action
against the person who deprives him of
his booty. The law will not interfere
to protect man in wrong doing.
Later cases have decided that the
finder of lost property who gives it to a
person to keep till the owner calls for
| it. The law gives the finder the next
right to the owner.
In some cases the owner is deprived
of this remedy. In England one who
holds property as security for the pay
ment of debt may lawfully sell it. The
seller of pledge is held to have spe
cial property in it.
