is now remembered chiefly as a poet,
specimens of his musical and pictur-
esque verse adjoining most of the an
tlologies, and having q place in many
of the school-readers. But he was also
great as u philologist and geologist,
and his attainments in almost every
blaach of science We're remarkable.
He rendered important service to Noah
Webster and that photographers lit
erarv executors in the compilation and
revision of Webster's Dictionary. He
made the first systematic geological
survey of Connecticut, embodying its
results in q valuable report, and under
Governor Barstow held with credit the

Righteousness and ease which were char
acteristic of his poetic compositions,
and when this work appeared the same
authority, in an article in the NOrth
AmericdM Rcvielc, pronounced him a
classical American poet.
His work in connection with the re-
vision and publication of the first
quarto edition of Webster's Dictionary
was done in 1927 aud 1923. About the
same time lie began the translation
from the French of an important geo.
graphical work, which he finished in
1888, and which was published in six
octave volumes. His geological survey
of Connecticut occupied him seven
years, ending in 1915.

how self-evident the case may seem,
but the truly great lawyer knows how
to state APPOINT 50 that even a brother

is reported that Stephen A. Douglas
and Mr.. Lovejoy, were once gossiping
together, when Abraham Lincoln came
in.
The two men Immediately turned
their conversation to the proper length
of n mans legs.
Now" said Lovejoy, "Abe's legs are
altogether too long, and yours, Doug
las, I think, are q little short. Let's
ask Abe what he thinks of it."
The conversation had been carried
on with q view to Lincoln's overhear-
ing it, and they closed it by saying:
"Abe, what do you think about it?"
Mr.. Lincoln had q PARKWAY look as
he sat with one leg twisted around the
other, but he responded TO the ques-
ton: "Think of what?"
"Well, we'rc talking about the proper
length of IL mans legs. We think
yours T. too long and Douglas too
short, and we'd like to know what you
think is the proper length"
WELL" said Mr.. Lincoln, that's q
matter that I've never given any
thought to, so of course I may be mis-
taken; but my impression is that a
mans legs ought to he long enough to
reach from his body to the ground"

Tho Duluth, Case Not settled.

- A .}sew York special has this important
information touching the Duluth title
case. 1t says: @The statement was puo-

in the United States circuit court sitting ut
Ashland, Wis.,. had just directed u verdict
for the plaintiff, in the suit of Frederick
Prentice of this city against u number of
defen ats i'll Duluth to recover land now
held by them amounting to about half Of
that city. 1t now appears the dispat.h
from Ashland was incorrect, the facts being
that Mr.. Prentice's .ase before Judge
Parish in which the verdict was directed
for the plaintiff was a suit against Mayor
Beam and others>to obtain an undivided
half-interest in 100 acres of property in
Ashlan :, worth between $4O. 900 and $5t,-
600, and that no recent action had beef

not comparing withthat done in some pre-

from tho books of the Office it is learned
that All homestead entries covering G3,Os9
acres werc made last year. Four hundred
and ninety-two final homestead proofs, on
76.s45 acres of land, were made. Under
thetimber culture Law 1893 entries covering
53,407 acres were made. Declarato,y
statements to the number Of 604 were
made. The principal item of the report,
however, is the statement Of the cash re-
ceipts. The majority of those who file on
claims remain On them for a year or two
and then buy the land at 1925 per acre.
