Amos O. Brinton, the local historian
and antiquary, has something very in
teresting and also novel to say In regard
TO that vexed question of the boundary
line between Delaware and Pennsyl-
vania.
His emphatic opinion, and he wants
1t clearly understood and to be credited
rs such, is in general terms, that Penn
,sylvania's claim to the disputed terri
tory (that 900 or 700 acres lying west of
and contagious to the 12-mile CIRCLE are,
historically speaking, worthless; that
Delaware, which never put forward any
claim to the land, and for obvious
reasons, geographically and histori-
cally, cannot, is in just as wrong a
position in the controversy as her neigh
Dor, Pennsylvania, despite the fact that
the Diamond State has all along been
receiving allegiance from the jewellers in
the little triangle; and, lastly, that the
lawful and historical owner is the State
Of Maryland.
For all of this Mr.. Brinton appears
TO have good proof. In fine, his posi-
ton upon this very important question
Is that Pennsylvania who claims It has
no right, that Delaware who owns it Is
equally wrong; and that Maryland. whs
neither claims nor owns the land, aught
TO be recognized as the sole and rightfu
owner to it.

A consultation was held at the office
of the supervising architect at Washing
ton Saturday last when the bids for the
walls of the new Federal building were
considered. Senators Gray and Higgins
were present. The supervising architect
stated that the bids would exhaust what
remains Of the appropriation leaving no
money for the finishing of the interior
of the building. Under these circum-
stances il would be impossible to accept
them, MS the architect is required by law
TO reserve money enough TO pay for the
unfinished work. Notwithstanding this
ii is pretty certain that the walls will be
built of granite in agreement with the
bids. The plan arranged ON now is to
let the whole natter drop until the con
gressioual committees meet, which will
be in three Or four weeks, when a
further sum will be asked in order to
meet the general demand here for
granite walls and also 10 meet the ex-
pendiiure 10 be made on the interior Of
