SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT.
The following rescript has been
handed down from the Law Court:

The following rescript has been
handed down from the Law Court:
CUMBERLAND COUNTY.
Daniel Chase ct ais. appellants. from
judgment of Municipal Officers of the
City of Portland.
Rescript-The complainants represent
that they are grieved by the refusal of
the municipal officers of Portland to
award the damages for an injury alleged
to have been sustained by reason of the
raising Commercial St. on its souther-
~ side, and ask to have the damages de-
termined by this court The complaint
was heard before jury, who found that
"the petitioners sustained NO damage"
In such a case the diminution in the
market value of the property injured is
correct measure of the damages sus-
tanned. The cost of the improvements
and changes necessary to restore the
premises to proper condition in rela-
tion to the new grade of the Street Is ad-
Missile as evidence affecting the
question of the benefit to the property,
but not as a SUI bstantive cause of dam
ages.
The petitioners were entitled to COM
pensation for the net injury done them;
TO be made whole rs far as money is
measure to compensation. This is the
essential meaning of the term Just COM
pensation" whether reference is had to
its use in the constitutional guaranty in
for public uses, or as the recognized
basis Of all general rules, respecting
damages The special and peculiar
benefits resulting to the petitioners from
the change of grade, must therefore be
offset. against the damages sustained.
All such benefits as come from the
situation of the premises with reference
to the change of grade, such as having a
dry and pleasant street in front of their
lot and more convenient access to their
store, are direct and special and must be
set off against the damages, although
other estates on the same street, may be
benefits arising from the improved fac
iljties afforded by the street which
affect equally all estates in the nsigh-
borhood, cannot be thus offset.
There seems to be no su bstatial reas-
on to question the fulness or correctness
of the Instructions of the presiding
Justice on any branch of the case. The
Jury had the advantage afforded by a
view of the property and of the street.
They had before them plain business
proposition and they could hardly fail
to appehend the true relation of the
facts to the issue. Experienced and COM
petent counsel were also there to see that
no feature of the injury was overlooked
and no element of damage forgotten.
After thorough examination of the
evidence and a careful study of the
learned and exhaustive briefs of the
counsel, it is the opinion of the court
that there is no Indication of prejudice
or mistake on the part on the Jury and
no lust cause for disturbing the verdict
Motion and exceptions oyerruled.

A Fuss Impending over City Marshal.
Correspondence of Pressls
The chief topic in municipal affairs at
Bath at present is the appointment of a
city marshal The city ordinances pro-
vide for the election of this Office during
the month of March. None as yet hav
ing been appointed the present incum-
bent John S. Minott, now serving his
third consecutive tenn, has expressed
himself as determined to hold the fort
another year. Mayor Wakefield has re-
guested Marshal Minott's resignation.
which request has not been complied
with The latter informs your cores
poudent that he has no idea of resign
ing Mayor Wakefield intends to have
some one appointed at the regular April
meeting of the council, which occurs
Wednesday, aud has instructed Capt. O..
A. Kittredge of the night watch to as
sumo the duties of city marshal tenn
porarily.
Should Mr. Minott adhere to his reso-
luton not to give up his Office there are
spicy times looked for. A special meet
ing of the Board of Aldermen was held
Friday night, but no action taken On the
marshalship, although several constables
were appointed. Mr.. Minott's name
was not on the list of these officers. He
was appointed under Mayor Twitchell in

Failing That Some People Have, Mer' tt
Greater Extent Than Women.

A Falling That Some People Have, Mer tn
Greater Extent Than Women.
We should never, never make confdences
There are scenes and hours which promps
a man to blab. In certain efects of sun
set and moonlight, in a long nocturnal
smoke and palaver, the skeletons in ous
cupboard begin to stir, to rattle within us,
to desire to show themselves. But these
are not the circumstances which a man
eels inclined to tell his wife. 1t is to a
male friend he is tempted to divulge them,
or to pretty and sympathetic lady. The
only policy is to bottle them judiciously.
They may only bore your friend, thrilling
rs you think them, or he or she may bah
BILE of them till they come round to the
person whom you are interested in keep
ing unacquainted with the events or emo
lions.
A fellow feeling should make us check
other men and women when they begin to
unpack their hearts. AS to women, if they
have taste for making condolences, they
are sure to make them SO often that one
more does not matter. Some men, and stil}
more, some women, are born recipients OF
condolences. People open out to them.
even strangers in railway carriages unveil
their amours and regrets. To other people
condolences are never made by any one,
whether because they look unsympathetic
or because they nip them in the bud, OF
for some other good reason. They have the
less to regret, and they are not tempted
to blab. Contrary to general opinion, we
believe that secret is safer with q mar
ried woman than with married man. A
man says, IT will tell nobody, not even
my wife," and straightway goes and tells
her. Very often it leaves her cold, though
exciting to him, and SO is it safe. But
married woman is much less inclined to
tell her husband. First, she knows SHE
cannot trust him-for does he not blab tt
her? Besides, the secret often seems SO hui
morous, or SO important, or in itself SO oh
vious, that he let's it out without thinking
of it. Besides, a woman has a pleasure in
knowing what her husband does not know
and possibly would not care to know
while husband, in the goodness Of his
heart, likes to carry bit of tattle to his
wife. So the male bird, ranging the wet
lawns, comes home with a nice worm fol
his mate. The condolences of men and wo
men are mostly about their wives, ano
vice versa. This is kind of petty treason
and such revelations should not be listened
to, bu6 few ladies, it is believed, can hell
listening. OF these confessions the peni
tent is likely to repent, and that speedily.

GoETHE's FAUST.
The Second Lecture in Prof. Davidson's
Scholarly Course.

Prof. Davidson delivered the second
lecture in his course on Faust to an APP
preciative audience last evening, carry
ing his review of the drama up to the ap-
pearance of Gretchen, and giving an
analysis of the scene in which Faust
deeds away his soul, that between Me-
phistopheles and the student, and that in
Auerbach's cellar The diablerie there,
the lecturer was inclined to attribute to
hypnotism. He took the view that Faust
drove hard bargain with the Devil, put
up the cards on him, as it were, and
really staked nothing.
The lecturer did not confne himself
closely to his theme, but INDUCED in
many asides, humorous and ironical,
which greatly tickled his audience, as
when he spoke of Bellamy's Looking
Backward as political landscape garden
ing, and said of Marlowe's Faust that it's
proper place was in the Police Gazette.
Doubtless he startled many by his de-
preciative mention of Shelleys poetic
powers; and he might have been excused
from repeating the exploded calumny
about Bayard Taylor to the effect that
Humboldt said of him that Taylor had
travelled more and seen less than any
man he ever knew. Humboldt indig-
nantly denied saying this; and it is now
well known that the epigram was the
coinage of New York man of some lit
erary pretensions, whose wit was greater
than his honesty, and whom Taylor had
numerically dashed. But the asides
were all entertaining entertaining, in
truth, that some of the light-minded in
the audience rather regretted his recur-
renee to his theme, with the inevitable
"'tall events with which he prefaced it.

way to cure Deafness, and that is by consti-

Unnamed condition of the mucous lining of the

taken out and this tube restored to its normal

The steam engine was made perfectly
automatic by lazy boy who was employ
ed to open and close the valves. Desiring
to play instead of to work, he tied string
from one part of the machine to another,
thus making the engine itself attend to
fits own business. He was never heard of
again, and even his name is unknown, but
perfect engine was the outcome of his
laziness.

CHEERS FOR DEBs.
A. r. q. President Given an Ova-
ton by Eiremen.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Sept. 13.-In the
firemen's convention here today Eugene
V. Debs had the floor for three hours at
the afternoon session. He defended his
course as secretary and treasurer of
the organization and editor of the
official magazine of the order. and chal-
lenged his critics to answer him. Grand
Master Sargent invited any delegate
who wished to reply to reply to Mr..
Debs 20 do so, but no one answered.
The crowd broke into tumultous APP
plause. cheering Debs most enthusiast
tically. The latter was delighted
with the reception accorded him,
and claims it is complete vindication
of his course as an officer of the
brotherhood. By invitation from the
delegates, he will address a public
meeting tomorrow night on the causes
which led up to the Pullman boycott.
He will telegraph to Judge Woods,
in Chicago, before whom the con-
spiracy case is being tried, asking per-
mission to remain until Saturday and
expresses the belief that the favor will
be granted, as he says the Judge has
been uniformly kind TO him. The visit
ing delegates were rendered q reception
tonight by the local organization. Debs
was central figure in lhe ball room,
but took no part in the dancing.
