youngster, the dealer questioned him.

"Yes, sir--some."
"How many ounces in pound?'
"Sixteen."
"How many pounds in ton?''
"ron of what?"
ga ton of anything
The boys face was duller, If possible,
than ever.
IA ton of coal?" he asked, stupidity.
"Yes; say ton of coal"
"Well, you can't most always some
times tell till you find out how heavy the
driver is that sets on the load"
AS remarkable as it may seem TO minds
unaccustomed to such things, the boy
was not employed.

Mrs. Hills Legacy.

In July last Mr.. VIM. C. Hill asked the
Equity Court for an Interpretation of the
viii of the late W. W. Corcoran, particu-
larry as to the clause relating to Mrs.
Fanny f. Hill, which gives the income from
5000 during the lives each of Fanny Hill,
&c" The executor is in doubt whether he
should pay the income of s5,oo0 dividing 1t
among the devisees after the word leach, -
or whether he should pay the income of
5000 TO each of the beneficiaries He also
rs IN doubt whether he should pay interest
simply the 5000. Mrs. Hill, niece of Mr.
Corcoran, has filed an answer in the suit
in which she says Mr.. Corcoran left her the
income from 5000. and she has been re-
ceiving that income regularly from the
original executors under the will, Charles

NOT INSPECTED.
\ Suggestion in Regard to Some Dam
EeFous buildings.

Mr. c. +. Hamilton sent a communica-
ticn to the Commissioners today concerning
the protection and inspection of buildings
i'm this city. He says:
rs there any practical inspection of
buildings in Washington? 1t ought not to
be necessary to wait for an actual or
threatened disaster to awaken action. The
Stumph calamity may be repeated any day,
either from faulty building or sracticll
fire escapes being neglected. The present
place occupied by the Stumph fire and
others has Il rckety stairway and no fire
escapes; it is a fire trap" There are sew
eral others on the avenue, he says, not
properly protected. There are many feat
ureS about some of these large buildings
which demand inspection, but, he says
the inspectors do not inspect, their labors
are comparatively light just now, as the
building trade is very dun. l would Sug-
peSt that the chief of the fire department
be directed to give some attention to this
subject and that he be requested to report
TO you. His experience and Observations
in the line of duties make him thoroughly
acquainted with the large buildings Of the
city and he ought to be able to submit
some valuable suggestions. The heating
and lighting in some of the buildings would
bear inspection and improvement, and the
fact remains, We have no reliable inspec-
ton of new or ola buildings in Washing
