The Botanical Gardens Suit.

JUDGMENT FOR THE DEFENDANT, ". r. SMITH,
SUPERINTENDENT OF THE GARDENS.
In the Court in General Term this morning.
Judge Merrick delivered the opinion of the
court in the case Of Appleby, trustee, agt. W.
r. Smith, giving judgment for the defendant
This was a suit in ejectment to recover piece
of land now included in the botanical gardens
brought by the trustee representing the estate
Of Daniel Carroll Of Duddington. 1t was
claimed that this particular piece Of ground
was not included in that portion allotted to
public uses by the government The court
takes the Eilicott map, which was approved by
Washington and Adams, its guide, and says
the map became part and parcel of conveyance.
An inspection of this map shows that the lines
Of some Of the streets were not run out their
entire length, but at some points they we're ex-
banded and circular, quadrangular or irregu-
laI spaces being left. This locus was left an
open space at the intersection Of Maryland and
Canal avenues. and it was never laid down as
squar. until VIM. Forsyth, surveyor, in 1870,
designated it as SO. E of SIC, but without
authority of Law. Was it laid of designedly as
Public space? 1t would seem that it would
naturally have been left US a landing place,
and especially as the corresponding space was
marked out plainly. Judgment was therefore
entered for defendant.

,Juvenilia.

From the Scottish World.
At public meeting in Edinburgh some time
ago Prof. Blackie told his audience the follow
ing story: "a little boy at a presbytery exami-
nation was asked, What is the meaning of re-
generationT oh, to be born again., he replied.
Quite right, Tommy You're a very good bow.
Would you like to be born again?' Tommy
hesitated, but on being pressed for an answer
said, NO why, Tommy For fear might
be an excellent illustration of the folly of ask
ing children difficult theological questions be-
fore they are old enough to grasp the difference
between worldly fact and divine allegory.
Much more to the point, and a splendid
specimen OF chlldlike reproach, was the reply
sisters, were always scolded by their grand
father whenever they dared to invade the pre-
cincts of his library. Would you like to go
to heaven, Bertie?' his mother asked him one
evening. when she had been reading to him
Mrs. Heman's beautiful verses on the better
land. mo, mamma" was the quick response
sYou wouldn't like to go to heaven, my son!
WhyT Why. grandfather will be there,
won't hep" yea 1 hope he will" ''Well
when he sees us children he'll come scolding
along, and say: 'Whew! whew, what are you all
here for?' No, mamma: 1 don't want to go to
heaven If grandpapa is going to be there"
Children frequently put puzzling questions
at home to their parents on various subjects,
as As evinced by the one which smart boy,
who had been reading the newspaper, put to
his father: 'Pa, has the world got tail?''
mo, my boy. it is quite round" replied the
parent: WELL" persisted the young hopeful,
why do the papers say so wags the world if
it amt got tail?''
Children, if permitted, will sometimes try to
argue a question:; but it is seldom that they
venture on closing an argument when it is par
tlcularly addressed to them. A certain Aunt
Betsy was, however, trying to persuade her
little nephew to get to bed, and by the way of
argument, said that all the little chickens went
to roost at sunset. YES" replied the boy,
''but the old hen always goes with them"

Thos. Bivans, aged ffty-one years, who has
for the past three years been employed as
night Waterman by Messrs. A. Saks 4 Co., was
arrested Saturday afternoon by Detectives Raft
and Horne and charged with half dozen
thefts. His arrest was the result Of an investi-
cation made by the officers. Mr. Saks reported
to the officers several days ago that their store
was being systematically robbed, and the off,
GERS started ont to catch the thief After inves-
tigation they discovered that a colored woman
named Rose johnson, alias JONES' had been
calling to see Bivans at tie store and remain
ing there over night. Then they learned that
