Found a Huge Basin.

A curious discovery has been made by
the workmen engaged upon the restora-
ton of Peterboro cathedral. Under
the southern leg of the parvise, or libra
ry, within the west front of the cathe-
dral, a number of blocks of nodded
marble have been found, which on be-
ing put together make a portion of a
huge basin between 20 and 80 feet in
circumference. 1t has apparently a Sc
ries of small basins OF hollows running
around it, united to each other, but not
extending to the center. 1t is expected
that farther fragments will be found
which may cast additional light upon
its origin. The fragments were cast
into the foundations, where they were
discovered by the fourteenth century
builders. A conjecture has been made
by Mr.. Irvine, the clerk of the works,
that it may be the bottom basin of an
ancient fountain from the cloisters,
which. having become broken, probably
from frost, the fractured materials were
put into the foundations, where they
were found. London News.

Senator Lyman Trumbull,

An inventory of the estate of the late
Lyman Trumbull, taken in probate pro-
ceedings, shows that it amounted to
$173, 900. The probate invoice affords
obvious proof that every dollar in value
of this great statesman's property was
absolutely clean. Not a dollar had the
faint of abuse from perverted official
inf1uenee Oh loose professional practices.
Lyman Trumbull's official life extended
over a period of 40 years. He was a
member of the United States senate Is
years. The amount of the estate left by
him is absolute proof of his purity in
public life. 1t is ne greater in amount
than should be accumulated during a
long professional career by any mar
with ordinary economy and thrift and
sagacious limited investments. This
evidence of the purity of his character
was not needed by those who were IA
miliar with his long and distinguished
career. But it is refreshing to find cir.
cumstantial evidence SO obvious of q
great and pure example. Chicago

The Ludicrous.

There is one modern philosopher who
appears to me to have given us a salts
factory formula of the ludicrous. That
philosopher is Schopenhauer, unques-
tionably one of the most profound aud
penetrating intellects of this century,
however we may account of his system
as q whole. One of his cardinal doc
trines is that all abstract knowledge
springs from knowledge Of perception
and obtains its whole value from its re-
lation to perception. And upon this
doctrine he hangs his theory of the lu-
dicrous. "The source of the ludicrous, -
he teaches, sis always the paradoxical
and therefore unexpected subsumption
of IN object under a conception which
in other respects is different from it. :"
Or, as he elsewhere in his great work
writes more at large:
1.-The cause of laughter. in every case,
is simply the sudden perception of the
i%ncongruity between a concept and the
real objects which by means of it we
have thought in a certain association,
and laughter itself is the expression of
this incongruity. Now, incongruity &C.
ours in this way: We have thought of
two or more real objects by means of
one concept and have passed on the
identity of the concept to the objects.
1t then becomes strikingly apparent,
from the discrepancy of the objects,
in other respects, that the concept ap-
plies to them only from one point of
view. 1t occurs quite as often, however,
that the incongruity between a single
real object and the concept under which
from one point of view, it has rightly
been subsumed is suddenly felt. Now,
the more correct the ~subsumption Of
such objects under a concept may be
from one point of Wow and the greater
and more glaring their incongruity from
another point Of view, the stronger is
the ludicrous effect which is produced
by this contrast. All laughter, there
fore, springs up on occasion of a para
doxical and unexpected subsumption,
whether this is expressed in words Or
actions. "-Fortnightly Review.
