FARMINGTON,s REQUEST

Pennington is quiet historic old town, and it wants to be permitted to keep the even tenor of it's way. It's request to be sep and the legislature would do no one any harm in granting it., As it is now there is continual friction between the two commu mites, which differ widely in their compost tion and ideas. Unionville, being the more populous, can impose upon Pennington such plans and policies as meet with favor among the Unionville people. This appears in the fact that while the sentiment in Pennington is 'tno Icense'' Unionville votes 'slicense" for the whole town. And taxes levied in one community are applied for the benefit of the other, thus causing feeling that there is unfairness in the situation. The friction between the two communities is not likely to abate, but, as in the case of an ill-mated couple compelled to remain together, is hke- ly to increase. A divorce, therefore, seems to bs the best remedy, and then each com- munity can suit itself, or, at least, try to. Those who advocate separation wisely de- cided to ask for no change in representation in the legislature, and if there are two towns made they will, as now, send two members, voting on the same candidates, and electing as it happens Farmington or Unionville men. There does not seem to be any weighty reason against the separation, and there are several very good reasons why it should be made.
 Pennington would like to continue to live in
 it's own way. And it is one of the towns of
 the State which has something like special
 right to do so if it can without injuring any
 body. It should not be tied to Unionville,
 or any other "ville," if it can be more peace-
 able and comfortable without it. We hope
 the legislature will grant the request of the
 fine old town.

HISTORIC SAYINGS.
Attributed to the Wrong Persons.
 From the Gentleman's Magazinel

Attributed to the wrong Personss
 From the Gentleman's Magazinel
 M Fournier dwells with justice on the political importance to King of France of the power to deliver himself of bon mots;
 and Louis XIV undoubtedly possessed this power to greater extent than Louis XIV Louis or XVI. In fact, the latter actually
 paid considerable sum to the Marquis de
 Pezay for supplying him with answers for
 anticipated contingencies. Thus the Prince
 de Ligne declares he was present when Louis
 received great credit for words uttered in ac-
 The latter had thus given them in @ letter: "Your Majesty is soon going to some horse
 races; you will find a notary writing down
 wagers between the Count d'Artois and the
 Duke of Orleans. Say, Sire, when you see
 him: Why this mani Needs there writing enough" There is something truly absurd in the idea of the voice and with great effect in the very event for which they had been prepared.
 Louis Xv suffered for want of Marquis de Peggy, for he never achieved reputation for the wit of his tongue, and the sayings ascribed to him are of doubtful authenticity. It was not the King, but the Pompadour, for instance, who gave utterance to the oele- brated Apres nous le deluge, which expressed so well both the spirit and the presentiment of his reign. But the King did probably say, when the remains of Madame de Pom padour were about to be taken from Yer sailles to Paris, and the rain was pouring down, "The Marchioness will not have ! fine weather for her journey"
 In historical pictures Sully is generally represented as considerably older than his master, whereas the King was older by seven years. But the pictorial art should perhaps, be allowed some license in the matter of his | tory. It is question of degree; but when ! we meet with pictures of Leonardo da vinci \ dying at Fontainebleau in the arms of F. an- l cis I, and it is proved conclusively that, { wherever the great painter died, the King | at the date in question was at St. Germain- | en-Laye, it seems permissible to raise pro- test. And on the supposed occasion it is said that Francis, observing looks of disdain among his courtiers, rebuked their thoughts bv saying: sfI can make nobles when ] please, and even very great seigneurs; bni God alone can make man like him we are about to lose." But to how many other princes has not this sentiment been attrib' ~

NOT A ,soLEMN OCCASION,

The Supreme court of Massachusetts has declined to advise the legislature concerning the parocial school question. The constitu- tioa of the State provides that each branch of the legislatures as well as the governor and council, shall have authority to require the opinions of the justices of the Supreme judicial court upon important questions of law and the solemn occasions. The judges say: Many opinions have been given, but they were in cases where the branch of the government requiring the opinion had pend- ing before it questions concerning which doubts existed as to power. No case is found similar to the case before us. It relates sole ly to the construction of certain sections of the statutes. The house has the power to pass any bill within the limits of the consti- tuition in amendment or alteration of these sections. The only exigency which seems to exist for requiring our opinion is that men- bers of the house differ in their views as to the construction of the statute. This is not an unusual exisency, and does not create or present a "solemn occasion" within the fair meaning of the constitution.
 This way of rebuking the legislature meets approval Of many in Massachusetts, including the Boston Herald, which says: We are of the opinion that the Supreme court not only strengthened itself as disinterested tribunal by the declination that it gave, but it also in- directly enhanced the dignity and importance of the legislature by calling the attention of its members to a sense of their own responsi- bility. We can understand that those who urged that this request be forwarded may feel sggrieved at the implied rebuke of the jus tices; but if they will but consider the matter in fair minded manner, even they cannot fail to acknowledge that the precedent which a reply such as they had hoped for would establish would have tended to break down those constitutional barriers which have been erected between the executive, legislative and judicial departments of the government, by taking from the legislature, or, at least, from a minority of it's members, that freedom and independence which they now possess.
