To-day's Weather Indications.
CHEvREUL.

Michel Eugene Chevreul, the distin-
guished chemist, is dead. He lived to the
rip old age of nearly one hundred and
three years. No one devoted to chemical
research has added more to the sum of
human knowledge than this eminent man.
He was a pupil of the scarcely less DIS
tinguished Vaquelin, of Paris, but rose to
much higher rank in the world of science
than his preceptor. At the London In
dustrial Exhibition of 1851, he was hon
ored by special premiums and other marks
of gratitude for the benefit his researches
had bestowed upon agriculture and me-
chanic arts. The people of his own ma
ton never tired of showering upon him
tokens of regard, or of distinguishing him
among men as a benefactor of the race. 1t
is quite impossible in this place to pass in
review the results of his life's labors. His
example will remain unfading for time,
and will stimulate men to emulate his de-
votion to science, art, and inquiry into the
wondrous processes and forces of nature.
His discoveries were of a character that
immediately and practically entered into
the betterment of manufactures, the per-
lection of colors in art, the cheapening of
food and articles of daily domestic use,
the making clear of natural phenomena,
and the Improvement of sanitary condi-
tions. 1t is recorded of him that when
the Germans shelled Paris, and the deadly
and destructive missiles of war began to
work ruin in the Museum, his laboratory
and the home which France had pre-
sented to him, and which was store
house of science, the old man sent to the
German King an indignant protest,
declaring that war should respect science,
and that her treasures and laboratories
should be neutrals. His protest was at
once recognized, its justice acknowledged.
and orders were issued that Chevreuls pro-
lection to the Museum and laboratories
should be sufficient to turn all guns from
assault upon them-he was the one man
among all Frenchmen who was able to
command from the foe the obeisance of
profound respect and immunity from the
rigors of war.

OUR evening contemporary has the fault
of jumping at conclusions" A bit Of
pleasantly in yesterdays RECORD UNION

character, and in which We made merry
over review of Estate Textbooks" by
IAemis, is seized upon by our esteemed
neighbor "over the way" as a text from
which to read the editor" of the "Text-
Books" a sharp sermon for making a reply
that does not go to the essence of the crit
cism by Ihanis. 1t is common Justice to
an innocent man to say that the ''editor"
in question did not write the article in
the REcoRD-UNIoN, had no knowledge of
it, and we presume has not yet heard of it,
since inquiry develops that he is in one of
the distant mountain counties. Moreover,
the RECORD UNIONS oyerhauling of the
English and the style of the review in

justice or injustice of the criticism upon
the Textbooks" The RECORD UNION

of fun in which it INDUCED over the
amusing blunders and involved style of
the reviewer" in Ihemis 1t is to be
hoped that the assurance that the article,
with all its sins upon its head, was office
production, and can honestly wear the
REcoRD-UNIoN stamp, will give rest and
comfort to our amiable friends in newspaper
row who are so solicitous that none of the
valuable space Of the RECORD L MON shall

profound respect. But ,word-will our

single example in the entire range of liter
airy history, or from any source where the
English language is spoken or written,
in which not style, grammar is the
winding sheet of argument, and the
shroud of perspicuity and rerspic icity?"
While admitting that our contemporary s
sentence just quoted, sounds loud, and
pretty, and learned, and all that, we have
the audacity to challenge it as an example
ofbomhastic nonsense, and not possessed ola
single element of truth. And more, our
esteemed neighbor shall select its own

ton and literary information, and On sub

w. II. Biggs, appointed Railroad Commits
sioner by Governor Penneyor, against

ment of Biggs' salary, Circuit Judge Boise
today rendered a decision sustaining a de-
murrer to plaintiffs complaint, and hold
ing that the complaint did not state facts
sufficient to entitle him to the relief
prayed for, also taxing the costs to plaintiff.
The case will be Immediately appealed to
the Supreme Court, and will probably reach

J. Humphrey and p. H. Darcy of this
city appeared before the Court for plaintiff.

holds that the Act passed a; the last

Immediately. that the emergency clause
was sufficient. and that the action of the
Legislature after the Governors veto, was
equivalent to the Governors approval. He
holds that the statute should be construed
