Twenty years ago visitor at the Lon

A HOLIDAY.

Is the age s0rdid, impotent and cn!d'
None the less sweetly shrill the thrushes
call,
None the less swiftly snowy blossoms fall
On slim young grasses and buds manifold
Where kingcups rise their challces Of
god
As tender breezes drift the hawthorn's ;

None the less milky sway the chestnuts
tall,
Or royalty the large white clouds en-
rolled,
Where up the azure mighty branches
climb.
On eyes that see and hearts that contem-
plate
No shadow falls Of days degenerate
They reckon but 10y Seasons change tho
time,
Here the vain habblings Of unluvely hours
Cringe into silence before holier powers.

A favorite scheme with the conductors is
occasionally to turn in a fare or two i'll excess
of the number really collected, for the
purpose of creating an impression upon the
company that the spotter's return Is untrust-
worthy at all times. Now and then the train
employees suspect an entirely innocent person,
and it is amusing to behold the puzzled nnen
OF such a passenger when he encounters the
strange looks bestowed upon him by con-
ductor and porter. The mutual interest
existing between these functionaries tends to
overcome race prejudice, and consequently
they are both on the alert to get on
the track Of their sworn enemies. One
way, practiced with a view Of extending a
secret warning To colleagues on the different
lines. Is to cut a notch in the heel Of IA sup
posed spoilers shoes while the porter ostens-
IDLY subjects them to first-class shine

made quite easy, aud the further Use Of the

The questinner found some one else in

How they kill engines, hey Well, the
quickest and surest way is to take this

on the throttle lever. Shut the throttle
by pushing in the lever pin, disc"nnect the

Even if she is near the machine shop it
will require couple Of days to replace the
lever al a cost Of Sl4, as it must be forged
and turned, and the brass throttle ratchet
must be cast, filed, and polished. That is
much better than to carry off connecting
rods, as saw represented recently in an
illustrated paper 1t would take two men
at least TO cart away one connecting rod,

oh, my, yes. Take down the eccentric

Auer Observing the Suns spots.

\ number of able European scientists
have been engaged in observing the spots
on the sun with view of ascertaining
whether they have any Derceptible effect
upon the climate of the earth. After com
pairing notes they have come to the CON
clusion that, as far as they have been able
tOdetermine, they can not say positively
whether the activity of the sun, as shown
by the spots, means a decrease of the solar
heat received by the earth or the contrary.

BEFORE JUDGE LIVINGSTON.
In the suit OF James Bryson vs. Henry s.
Bard, judgment by consent was entered in
favor of the plaintiff tor S75 and costs OF
suit
The first case attached for jury trial was
that of John L. Good vs.. Jacob Good. This
was an action OF deceit to recover S6i0, and
the facts as detailed by plaintiffs witnesses
were as follows: On December Is, 1877,
John +. Good employed Samuel Bookman
as bis agent to purchase farm of Ga acres
and 100 perches in Martic township, from
jacob Good. Tho purchase was made, the
money paid by John Il. Good and he re-
ceived deed for the property. Mr.. Good
paid at the rate of $50 per acre. Subseq uently
plaintiff learned that BoOkmau had paid
only S55 for the land and he then brought
this suit to recover from Jacob Good $40 per
acre, ON the ground that he knew that Book
man was plaintiffs agent and he was de.
ceived by HIM.
The defense was that Jacob Good did not
sell the land to John L. Good, but to Book
man, and that if Bookman sold the land to
John E. Good at s65 per acre he had perfect
right to do 30. On trial.
