Commissioner Platt Deposed.

ALBANY, Jan. 13.-The case of Quarantine Commissioner Thomas c. Platt, which has occupied the attention of jury in the eir- cult court for some time, was concluded this morning, the jury rendering verdict against the commissioner. An action was instituted to depose Mir. Platt on the ground that he was a nonresident of the city of New York, which the law requires the quarantine com- missioner to be. MT. Platt, however, claimed he was legal resident, though he lived and voted in Tioga county. The case will now probably go to the general term.

LETTERS.

Such little thing-a letter,
Yet SO much it may contain;
Written thoughts and mute expressions,
Full of pleasure, fraught with pain.
When our hearts are sad at parting,
Comes CLEAN of comfort bright
In the mutual promise given:
eve will not forget to write"
Plans and doings of the absent,
Scraps of news we like to hear,
All remind us, cen though distant
Kind remembrance keeps us near.
Yet sometimes single letter
Turns the sunshine into shade;
Chills our efforts, clouds our prospects,
Blights our hopes and makes them fade.

Prayer or greeting, were we present,
Would be felt but half unsaid;
We can write, because our letters
Not our faces-wll be read.
Who has not some treasured letters,
Fragments choice of others lives
Relics, some, of friends departed,
Friends whose memory still survives?
Touched by neither time nor distance,
Will their words unspoken last;

The election is over. Harrison and Morton have

be no ''ifs'' and abuts' in the administration

A WRITER in ''Dress" remarks that the earliest

GEORGIA HoFLEY in the Woman's Tribune, gives
lengthy and interesting account OF the womans
department of the Ohio Centennial. One feature
was kitchen fitted up as in the olden time, whilst
on the opposite side could be seen one of the pres
ent day, fitted up with all the modern conveniences
for the lessening of labor. Another was corner
devoted to the various inventions of women, and
on an upper floor library had been arranged, con-
tanning the works of Ohio authoresses, with much
of their Journalistic work, whilst the walls were
hnug with the pictures of the women of Ohio,
noted for literary talent, beauty or good works.
The description closed with this remark: "Perhaps
in no other department of work has there been
more progress made during the nineteenth century
than that made by women in literary and newspa-
per work."
MARION HARLAKD insists that the ballot would be
most demoralizing to woman Perhaps Marion IS
right. There are so many side issues attending

BILE of deciding as to its merits or dement's.

So MUCH has been said concerning the marital
relations, and such diverse opinions expressed that
one is forcibly reminded of the old saying, ''When
doctors disagree who shall decide?"

America'S L1tcLy Day.

In Europe and the eastern part of the
world Friday is generally regarded as
an unlucky day, and those who are any
way supcrstitious will object to COM
mence any new enterprise or to do any
thing of Importance on that day.
Strange to say, Friday has exercised the
most important and beneficial effects on
America, and may be regarded as her
lucky day. There are many citizens,
mostly those of foreign birth, who still
abhor Friday, although it is shown that
the most important events connected
with the discovery Of the New World
and the independence Of the United
States all happened on a Friday.
1t was on Friday, the Sd Of August,
1892, that Christopher Columbus set
sail from the port of Palos on his voyage
of discovery. On Friday, the 10Th Of
October, of the same year, he sighted
land. On Friday, the 4th of January,
1893, he set out for Spain to announce
his glorious discovery. He landed in
Andalusia on Friday, the 10Th of March,
1893. On Friday, June 13, 1874, he
discovered the continent Of America.
On Friday, March 5, 1897, Henry VII,
King of E1gIand, sent Jean Cabot on a
mission which led to the decovery Of
North America. Oa Friday,
November 10, 1865, Melendez
founded St. Augustine, the
oldest city in the United States. On
Friday, November 10, 1920, the May
flower landed the Pilgrim Fathers at
Princetown. On Friday, December 81,
1920, the immigrants reached Plymouth
Rock. On Friday, Feb. %, 1872,
Washington was born. On Friday,
June Il, 17,5, the battle Of Bunker
Hill was fought. On Friday, October
S. 1778, Burgoyne surrendered at Sara
to2a. Arnolds treason plot was dis
covered on Friday, September %, 1880.

Earthquake sounds frequently precede
the shock, are often heard during its
progress, and sometimes after the earth
quake proper has ceased.
Occultations of stars by the planets

would be very important throwing
light on the extent and density of plane

According to Mr.. Lockyer, the
mcteors which we have been accustomed
to consider trivial or Incidental matters
in planetary and stellar systems, no
more important than the dust which the
housewife raises from parlor and cham
Der, are really fundamental and basic
clements of the universe, capable Of
generating comets, planets, suns and
stars.
Experiments have Lccn made in
transplanting the beautiful Alpine
Edelwciss into the mountains OF Bo-

homes the plant seems to be changing
its character, aud in the mountains OF
upper Austria it has become transformed
into a new species, bearing red flowers
instead of the beautiful ermine-Iike
white blooms.
The geological effects Of ice seem to
| have been greatly exag gerated. From

others, Professor J. W. Spencer de
clarcs that the potency of land glacier
to act as great eroding agents, capable
of 'pIauing down half continent," o.
ploughing out great valleys Or lake bas
ins, or even Of greatly modifying them
is most strongly nesatiycd.
The factory at Oerlillon, Switzerland
has entered into negotiations with
