was in those years-we were always

1t was those evenings with him in
his library that one remembers best.
There was always Il wood fire burning
above bed of ashes that had been ac-

easy reach of the tOngs. which he
often applied as he talked. What Is

would smoke a pipe. He would gen

by the eccentricities of Norwegian
time. At home they are accustomed
to a a uniform time, calcul-tl for

The telegraph offices and the rail
ways that happen to be in conuec-
ton with Christiania regulate them
selves, it is true by Christiania mean
time, but this only increases the
confusion, for all the other railways,
together with the steamers, start
punctually by local time. To add
still further to his bewilderment, no
sooner does the traveller cross the
frontier than the Swedish railway
time, which is eighteen minutes diff
ferent from ChriStiania time, comes
into use.
In Bergen unfortunate strangers

MADISON. Wis, Is The petition of
S. W Pierce, district attorney OF
Adams county, was presented to the
supreme court to day by Ex-Attorney
General Estabrook. The latter made
a short statement of the contents of
the petition declaring that the chief
grounds of the petitioners complaint
were that the redistricting of the state
was made without reference to pOpu-
lation and not of convenient, contIgu-
Gus territory He held that the unit
of representation in the senate dis
tricts is SLIT, and of the assembly
1858. Districts are found which
greatly exceed these units, while
others are much under the proper
number. The attention of the court
was called to irregularities of the
Ninth senatorial district. Mr. Esta-
brook asked for an order upon the
secretary of state to show cause why
the case should not be brought.
Gen. Bragg addressed the court
and said it was simply a political
question and the propriety of the
petition should be first considered
before the same was presented. He
declared that the attorney general
was the only and proper instrument
through which such proceedings could
be brought.
