The reader may ask, Whit are we to de-

by quoting from Addison: Learning and

are men, but as we are reasonable creatures
in which order OF beings the female world is
upon the same level with the male. We
ought to consider in this particular not what
is the sex. bat what is the species to which
they belong. AT least l believe every one
will allow me, that a female philosopher is
not 80 absurd a character, and 80 opposite to
the sex, as a fem lie gamester; and that it is
more irrational for a woman to pass away

mend the studies Of knowledge to the female

employ those hours that lie upon their hand.
Il might also add this motive TO my fair
readers, that several Of their sex, who have
improved their minds by books and literature,
have raised themselves to the highest posts
of honour and fortune.
''Since they have the SINE improbable
minds as the male part Of the species, why
should they not be cultivated by the same

as it is done in the United States, where we
have some Of the best types of womanhood

A FAIR ATTORNEY.

Alas! the world has gone awry

For she has grown 80 learned |

Whcno'or dare to woo her now
She frowns tlat should so annoy her,
And then proc aims, with lofty brow,
Her mission is to hc lawyer.
Life glides no MORO on golden wings,
A sunny wnif from IL Dorado;
I've learned how true tie poet sings,
That coming sofrow casts its shadow.
When tutti frutti lest its spell
l felt some hidden grief iInpended;
When she declined u caramel
knew ray rosy dream had ended
She paints no more on china plaques,
With tintsthat would have craZed Murillc,
Strange birds that never plumed their back,
When Father Noah braved the billow.
Her fancy limns, with brighter blush
The splendid triumphs that await her,
When in the court a breathless hush
Gives homage to the queen debater
'Tis sad to meet such crushing noes
From eyes as blHe as Scottish heather;
'Tis sad a maid with cheeks of rose
Should have her heart bound up in leather,
'Tis sad to keep ones passion rent
Though Pallas' arms thel ron;
But worse TO have her quot
When one is fondly brca :, byron.
When Lillian is licensed at the law
Her fame, be sure, will live forever;
No barrister will pick a flaw
In logic SO extremely clever;
The sheriff will forget his nap
To feast upon the lovely vision,
And cen the judge will set his cap
At her and dream of love Elysian.

Scott EnioYed Being Lionized.

Sir Walter Scott is an example of a
great man, who, so far as we can judge,
enjoyed paying the penalties of his
greatness, even in his hour of death. He
was great enough, but then he was that
kind of man, and the circumstances
among which he lived were favorable.
That was before the day of the penny
post, of the electric telegraph. of rail-
ways and OF the interviewer, and in his
prime he lived at Abbotsford, which is
equivalent nowadays to saying that he
lived at Joppa. lie seems to have been
singularly free from the penalties of
greatness, which have enormously in
creased since the Wizard of the North
went home, and such of them as came
in his way he seems to have heartily en-
joyed.
He appears now and then to have
relished being turned into a rare show,
and to being pointed at wherever he
went as Water Scott. Indeed this be-
ing pointed at seems to have been rel
ished by many men whose greatness was
undoubted. Thackeray seems some
times almost to have resented not being
pointed at.--All the Year Round.

| United efforts at the bat are always
productive of runs, if it is kept up long
enough, and yesterdays game OF base
ball at Athletic park was beautiful ex-
| emplification of the value OF concerted
action. 1t was peculiar game ia many
respects. Harper held his opponents
down without q hit for the first three
innings; and then they solved the
enigma of his curves and won the game
out before they could be headed off.
On the other hand, the visitors did
their batting at odd intervals when no
practical good could follow, except in
one instance. Then Denny placed one
for two bags, with two men on bases,
and evened up matters q little.
The San Joees made their 6rst run in
the third inning. With one hand out
Everett placed fly ball down ON the
foul line. 1t dropped about foot out
side, but the umpire allowed the batter
to stay at second base. DJoley was an
easy out, and 80 should Clark have
been, but Stafford threw low and Everett
scored on the error.
The Angels then had streak OF old
tlme mating energy. McCauley nit the

THE TRIP HAMMER CASE.

Mrs. Wagner and Her Suit Against the
Fulton Iron Works.
|. Another day was taken up yesterday
in department six before Judge George
e. Otis, sitting for Judge Mckinley, in
the trial of the damage suit for $4,000
brought by Mrs. Lucy Wagner and her
husband against .he Fulton Iron Works.
A clerical error was discovered in the
complaint, which stated that the plain
tiff had spent 1926 900 on the property
alleged to have been damaged by the
iarring caused by the trip hammers OF
the iron works. 1t was amended to read
$25OO.
NJ. G. Fordham, who lives in the
vicinity Of the works, was the first wit
ness and said he had suffered incon-
venience from the noise and SCOT COM
ing therefr0m.
The elderly husband of the plaintiff,
Cornelius Wagner, testified that ne
could never lie down on his lounge with
comfort owing to the noise from the
work. His health had been impaired
by it, and he had left there by advice of
a physician. He never expected to
fully recover his health. The noise had
also affected his hearing.
The plaintiff, Mrs. Lucy Wagner, a
healthy-looking, matronly lady, told her
tale of woe to the jury, the burthen OF
which was that her nerves had been
destroyed by the boiler-making noises
at the factory; that she was obliged to
take opiates to counteract the terrible
strain to her nerves. The trip hammers
Jared her house SO that it cracked the
plastering, made the dishes dance on
the table, and the SCOT from the chimney
stack covered her clothes 30 that she
was obliged frequently to take them
from the line and wash them again.
Upon cross.examination Mrs. Wagner
said that the noise from the railroad
locomotives near by and the switching
of trains did not disturb her peace OF
mind at all because she was used to it
she supposed. 1t was only the iron
works noises that affected her nerves.
When the plaintiff rested the defense
wanted to take the court and jury down
to the iron works and let them inspect the
premises, but the court refused to allow it
to be done, holding that necessarily the
jurors could not 60 there without inn
bibiDg new evidence. If it was possible
to file the trip hammers in evidence and
bring them into court, he would allow
it, but as that did not appear to be feas-
ible, they would proceed with the case.
The defendants were granted permission
to amend their answer by making it
more specific, and the case went over
until this morning.

Court Notes.

Supreme Court Clerk Ashmore yes
terday received a short opinion in the
case OF the City OF Los Angeles, appel
liant, VS.. Alice Dehail ct al, affi ming
the judgment OF the superior court.
1t was an action, Gays the opinion, to
appropriate to the use of the plaintiff
as a public street certain lots OF the de-
fendants under proceedings taken by
virtue of the act OF March 6, 1889.
The complaint set forth an ordinance
for the widening of First street from
Los Angeles to Alameda streets. adopted
by the plaintiff July s, 1889, and also the
various steps taken by the municipality
under that ordinance, and alleges that.a
portion OF the land required for the
widening of the street is the property OF
tho defendant, Alice Dehail, and that
the commissioners appointed under the
ordinance determined that she would be
damaged by the improvement in the
sum of $37l8 80; that this amount of
money was rendered to her with r5-
quest that che execute deed for the
land to the city. She refused
to accept the money or mako
the deed, and prayed jndgm ent
for the condemnation OF the land upon
the payment to the defendants, or into
court for their benefit, of the amount of
compensation therefor to which they
are entitled. A demurrer to this COM
plant was sustained, and from the
Judgment rendered thereon in favor OF
the defendants the plaintiff appealed.
The opinion states that in the case OF
Dehail Va. Morford (95 CAL, 457) it was
held that the ordinance under which
these proceedings were taken did not
confer upon the city any jurisdiction to
make the improvement contemplated
thereby, and it is very evident that if
the ordinance was insufficient to give to
the city any jurisdiction to make the
improvements, the commissioners ap.
pointed under that ordinance would
have no authority to determine the
amount of money which the owners OF
the land to be taken should accept
for its conveyance to the city, and that
the owners can not be compelled to ac-
cept that amount or to make convey
ance of their land.
The action cannot be upheld as pro.
ceeding to condemn the land inqueston
under the power OF eminent domain or
by virtue OF the provisions OF section 18
of the act OF March 9, 1869. Before euch
proceedings can be instituted it is nec-
essary that the municipality shall have
passed valid ordinance for the widen
ing of. the street. AS the ordinance in
question conferred no authority to make
the improvement, it cannot be used as
the bass OF any action for condemnation
of the land sought to be included in the
Improvement.
