The Cormorant of Countries.

Great Britain is the eormorant of coun- tries. The splendid trope used by Webster to describe the extent of it's dominion in every quarter of the globe is truer to-day than at the time of it's utterance half cent ury ago. The sun never sets upon the scar jet uniform or the tax gatherer for the Brit ish crown. Out of the little island, once a conquest of the Roman Empire, has spread colonizing and conquesing people whose dominion has spread 70 worlds unknown by Alexander and Caesar. No continent is free from it's sway. From the little island of Heligoland, less than mile in extent, held under the very frown of Bismarck, and the slightly larger fastness of Gib- raltar, which is grasped firmly in the very face of Spain, Great Britain, having pos sessions in every continent and in every group of islands, ascends to complete and pltiless dominion over the peoples of India The mere schedule would fill column. The total area is nearly 10000, 900 miles; the to
 tal population only less than 275, ,OO0, 900.

Herbert's Famous Hymn.

When Bishop Herbert's famous mission ary hymn, "From Greenland's Icy Mount aims, which he wrote in 1894, first reached this country, a lady'in Charleston was much impressed with the beauty of 1t, and par ticularly anxious to find tune suited to it. She ransacked her music in vain, and chanced to remember that III a bank down the street was a young clerk who had con- siderable reputation as a musical genius. She sent her son to the clerk with the re- quest that he write a tune to fit it. In just half an hour the boy came back with the hymn, and the melody thus dashed off in hot haste is to-day sung all over the world, and IS inseparably connected with the hymn. The young clerk was Lowell Mason.

How an Eccentric Illinois Farmer Woood

How an Eccentric Illinois Farmer wooed
 and Won His Wife,se
 Jacob Strawn, of JacksonvtAs, Ill.,, Yas during his life time the largest rfsrmer in Illinois, and very eccentric man.: The cir cumstances of his marriage were as follows :: Outside of Jacksonville, couple of miles, perhaps, there lived quite a respect able family. This family employed servant girl. Graceful and neat in the extreme, and possessinga very fair share of intelligence, this girl was match for whomsoever might take her unto himself. Jacob saw this flower, and determined to possess it. One day he rode up to the door of the resi- dence of the fair maid, alighted from his horse, and knocked with the butt end of his whip The lady of the hou SC answered his summons, and immediately upon her mak- ing her appearance, Jacob asked for the servant girl.
 The servant girl came. Jacob said: . sI want a wife and I have picked you out as the most proper person for that position I can possibly find. I've never spoken to you before, but then that makes no differ ence. I'll give you one week to declde."
 The girl blushed and was dumbfounded. Jacob mounted his horse and rode away. The girl inquired into MT. Strawn's charac- ter and standing, and was advised by those with whom she lived to accept the offer of his hand Punctually, week later, Jacob rode up to the door and knocked again with his whip and asked:
 ''Is it no or vest"
 Blushingly the girl answered in 0 low tone, but quite distinctly:
 'Yes."
 'sWen," said Jacob, 'let's see; we'll get married the day after tomorrow, Wednes- day. Here's some money to buy wedding outfit" and he threw her purse contain. ing thousand dollars.
 The couple did get married on Wednes- day, and no happier pair, during their life time, was to be mSt with in the State o' Illinois.

 In the Milford town hall last Thursday and Friday evenings Wm H. Josselyn gave two exceedingly interesting illus trated stereopticon lectures.

The audiences were highly pleased with the lectures and will anxiously look for his return.- AnSonia Sentinel. At the opera house to-horrow evening.
 Maggie Mitchell.
 Maggie Mitchell will appear in Ray, her new play, at the opera house Tues day night. The drama is constructed so as to bring out the actress strong points; those which have made her favorite with the general public. A poor but beautiful and yirtuous waif is in reality the heiress to both name and fortune. There is the old untold history attached to her birth, the inevitable eccentric old man who proves foster father to the fondling, the wealthy villain, escaped convict, etc, with all the striking vicissi- tudes and eventful complications which the playwright usually attaches to such things.
 ''Shaun Rhue.''
 The old favorite Joe Murphy will pre-. sent "Shaun Rhue" at the opera house next Wednesday evening.

LYON COUNTY WINS.
Judge Rising Decides that
the state Must Paw.

Yesterday Judge Rising gave a
decision in the case of Lyon county
VS.. the State Of Nevada.
SUIT was brought by the county in
Justice Hawthorns's Court to com
pei the State to reimburse the
county for money expended in the
special election. The sum asked
for was $25695. The case WIS
won 10y the county in the Justice
Court and appealed by the Attorney
General to the District Court.
The Judge gave the county
Judgment for the money expended
with the exception of $3.50
claimed by the clerk for furnishing
extra copies OF the election procla-
nation. In this part the Court
ruled that the work had been done
by the County Clerk without any
authority of law, the Sheriff being
the proper person. Had the Sher-
if instead of the Clerk performed
the service he would, in the opin-
ion of the Court, have been entitled |
to his pay.
The State only allowed the Lyon
County Times pay for one insertion,
hut the Court allowed for both in
sertions and also stated that the |
second bill passed by the Leglsla
ture to pay all Deficiencies, contem-
plated the payment in full of all
such bills. This settles the case,
as it can go to no higher Court.
