CHEERS FOLLOWED KISSES.
How Professor Blackie's Apology for

The Boston Transcript tells the following
story of Professor Blackie. 1t claims to have

burgh University; and 1t is strange that il Bar

fectly acquainted. A student rose to read a
paragraph, his book In his left hand.
"Sir!" thundered BlacKte, "hOld your book
in your right handi"-and as the student would
have spoken-"NO words. sir! Your right hand,
l say!"
i he student held up his right arm, ending
piteOusly at the wrist. "Sir, hae nae right
hand!" lie said.
Before Backie could open his lips there arose
such a storm OF Kisses as one perhaps must go
10 Edinburgh hear. and by it his voice was
OverbOine. Then tho professor left his place
aud went down to the student he had unwit-
tinglv hurt and put his arm around the lads
shoulders and drew him close, and the lad
leaned against his breast.
MY boy" said Backie-he spoke very
softly. yet not so softly but that every word was
audible In The hush that had fallen on the class
room-"my boy, yOn'll forgive me that was
over rough? did not know-I did not know!"
He turned to the students. and with look and
tOne that came straight from his great heart,
ne said:

to be shown that am teaching class Of gen

THE ALASKA BOUNDARY.
Progress of the Work of the Survey

BY the last mail from Alaska the prog

Up to the Taku Inlet the triangulation

MIR. Tittmann has not had a very easy
task in carrying his small triangulation up

THE MAYORS VETO.
Another Case Shortly to Be SUBJ
mitted to the Supreme Court.


The Supreme Court yesterday. for the
second time. resubmtted the case of
Wuizen VS.. the Board of Surervs sors for
reargumpnt before the Supreme Court in
bank. This was "a proceeding by way Of
certlOrarl. TO review the action of the
Board of Supervisors in passing the order
opening Market street, and was brought
on December 16, 1890. in the Superior
Court of this city and county. The main
point relied upon by petitioner was that
this order should have been submitted to
the Mayor for his approval before it be-
came a law. In other words. the Board of
Supervisors took the position in this mat
ter that the Mayor did not have the veto
power in ordinances of this class, while
the petitioner claimed that he did have the
veto power, raising the exact question tha t
is now pending before the Supreme Court
in the case Of Jacobs vs.. Rogers, known
az the Spring Valley Water case.
Judge Hoge dismissed the petition, hold
ing that certiorar was not the proper
remedy. From this judgment an appeal
was. on the 14th day of March, 1891, taken
TO the Supreme Court, and the appeal was
argued before Department of tina court Oh
the 18th day Of August, 1892, by J. G.. Bates
for the petitioner, and Pirrson & Mitch eli
for the respondents. A brief was a lso
filed by j. Nj. Wood on behalf of appel
liant. On the 9th day of October last, the
department having failed to decide the
case, an order was made. directing that an
appeal be heard before the conrt in bank,
and such hearing took place on the 23d day
of January last Yesterday an order was
made resubmitting the case for oral argu-
ment before the court In bank o. August
II. This looks as if there was disagree
ment among the Judges as TO the question
involved.
1t is generally understood that the
Judges have not yet taken ND the Spring
Valley Water cases. In spite of this fact,
however, the company is attempting to
collect its water rates as laid down in the
new order, although it is safe to say that
it will not ATTEMPT to enforce the collec-
ton of any water rates falling due after
'July1 until the Supreme Court has decided
the case.
