There was no general observance
of Thanksgiving in public way last
Thursday. None of the business hous-
es were closed, and to all outward APP
pearances the day was very much as
other days. There were few dinings
and pleasant reunions around family
festal boar DIS, all of which were enjoy
ed heartily. The weather was clear
and the air crisp and exhilirating.
In reply to the question, "Can a
majority of board of directors of q
school district bind the district by a
contract for the employment of teach
err, or for other purposes, without full
meeting of the board ?" Attorney-Gen-
eral w. L. Atkinson gives his opinion
that a majority may make binding
contract, provided all the members
have had proper notification to be pres
ent.

SEVENTEEN D3YS TO INDIA.
 These are the days of great schemes, and many of them are successfully carried out, much to the benefit of their projectors and also to the benefit of the general public. One of the latest and most magnificent of these schemes is now being elaborated by Sir Edward Watkin. It includes the com- pletion of the English Channel tunnel, and the construction of tunnel beneath the ten or eleven miles of sea which divide 6cot- land and Ireland at the Null of Cantire and Fair Head, County Antrim. These works would, in Sir Edwards scheme, be utilized for the running of fast through trains from the port of Londonderry to Gibraltar. At Gibraltar the trains would be carried across the straits by swift and powerful ferry steamers, and transferred bodily, at Ceuta or Tangier, to railroad running along the northern coast of Africa, via Egypt, crossing the Suez canal and bordering the Persian gulf to Kurrachee, where 1t would connect with the existing system of Indian railroads. By this means, Sir Edward calculates, Ire- land would be placed within twelve days, journey of India, while New York, with the aid of fleet of rapid Atlantic steamers landing their passengers at Derry, would be placed within seventeen days journey of that country.
 Phileas Fogg's famous journey will soon bs "nowhere" and even the spry Nellie By will soon be totally eclipssd as traveller.

A NEW HAmPSHIRR DECISION


 The people of New Hampshire rejected the prohibitory constitutional amendment which was put before them, but "the nuisance act, law passed in 1887 to indirectly sup- press the sale of liquor, will answer the pur- pose of the prohibitionists if 1t can be en- forced. The full bench of the Supreme court of the State has just declared this law constitutional. The law declared any build. ing used for the illegal sale of liquor was . nuisance. and enabled twenty citizens of any town to call on the county solicitor to abate the same, jurisdiction in equity being given to the Supreme court. The law was at once put in force by the citizens league, notably st Manchester and at Kesuo, wa.oh .assez place as result was practically without hotel accommodations for several weeks. The question of the constitutionality of the law WAS at once raised, and the right of trial by jury was also claimed and has been ceded in the decision just handed down. The en- forcement of the law acts directly upon the owners of buildings in which the illegal sale of liquor goes on, and indirectly upon the saloon keepers.
 Considering the state of public opinion fin New Hampshire, as shown by the rejection of the prohibitory amendment, it is not probable that "the nuisance act" will amount to much. It puts too much power in the hands of few people.

of interest to collectors, and not too soon. Regimental histories, for example, were only issued in limited numbers and scattered over the country; 1t Is now almost impossible to obtain them. The literature of the Rebellion is much more extensive than one would be- lievs. Booksellers say it is impossible to keep files of such picturesque records as Harper's Weekly or Frank Leslie's Illustrated Weekly issued during the war, as they are bought up as soon as acquired. The present collection of Rebellion records belongs to MT. Francis A. Harper, who has several thousand volumes, pamphlets and papers, including numbers of regimental histories and the Roll of Honor issued during the different years by the gov- ernment and containing the names of the dead in the different southern prisons and national cemeteries.
 One of the curiosities of MT. Harper's col- lection is an entire file of The South, g news- paper which made it's first appearance April 23, 1861, and contains an account of the Bsl- timore riot. The last issue was September 13 of the same year, and it's leader is headed: "The Freedom of the Press." The rest of the editorial is blank paper. On this day the paper was seized and destroyed by the United States authorities, but by some chance this copy was saved. The editor was Thomas Hall, jr., a fire eater of the liveliest sort. Another curiosity of the rebellion is the "Dixie Speller," published at Raleigh in 1864 and compiled by Miss M. B. Moore, the author of the "Dixie First Reader"

 The discovery of new MS. of the New Testatment, dating back to the fourth cen- tury, is announced, with the further fact that it is safe in the possession Of the PatIi- arch of Constantinople, the same scholarly dignitary through whose hands, a few years ago, the Dldache passed to the possession of the public.

A curious issue is about to be tested in the l London courts in Sampson & Co. vs the | Standard, and involves the right of news- papers to copy articles entire, even giving the publication credit. Apropos of this the Lippincotts request editors making use of l extracts for publication from their magazine l not to use more than one-third of an article, l and of course to give due credit. In several
 instances energetic protest has been made 1 privately in this city by editors of magazines | to newspapers who have given too much | space to reprinting their articles. They car | ried the compliments too far, the magazine editors consider, in satisfying curiosity wher \ they should merely stimulate it.

favorite charger, the horse being 50 placed that It's feet should rest on either side of the entrance bridge. This is said to have been much admired by the officials of the im- perisl household; but when 1t was submit- ted to the emperor 1t was immediatsly ve- toed, on the ground that 1t was not In ac- cordance with the principles of hospitality and politsness that foreign princes and per- sonages of distinction who came to visit him should have to pass under the feet of a horse bestridden by him.
 The delicate question whether the friends of man with an unfaithful wife should give him hint of her conduct or leave him in ignorance has at length become the sub- ject of legal consideration in France. The precedent established inclines against any revelations to the husband. Some years ago M. de Verneuil, watchmaker, was informed by @ couple named Dameron that his wife was ''carrying on'' with a member of the Cirque d'Hiver, named Brelle. The Dam- erons further told him that Madame Ver- neuil would meet Brells that night ct the circus door, and they urged him to go and see for himself, and inaamed him with wine and also provided him with dagger. When he actually saw Brelle with his wife he rushed upon them and killed the lover with stab in the breast, and seriously wounded his wife. The Brelle family sued Verneuil and the latter was condemned to pay 5000 francs. Then the Brelles carried the war into the Dameron camp, and the case has just been settled. The latter are sentenced to pay 1000 francs to the family of "their victim" It was ruled that the fact of revealing to husband the miscon- duct of his wife did not in itself render the informer responsible for what might occur subsequently, but that if efforts were made to excite the injured man to revenge, and if assistance were given him into the bargain, that was different matter. If, therefore, the disagreeable revelation is simply cons fined to a friendly warning, the informer will not be regarded as responsible for the result; if, however, any remarks calculated to lead to breach of the peace are added, he must abide the consequences.
