TWO STATES FIGHT 20 YEARS.
Fishing Rights Between
New Jersey and Delaware.

WASHINGTON, d. G., Oct. IL, 1s97.-A
case involving the boundary line between
the States of New Jersey and Delaware,
which has been on the Supreme Court of
the United States docket for twenty years
was revived in that Court yesterday by
the entering of a motion by Attorney
General Grey of the State of New Jersey,
for an order for a decree pro confesso in
the interest of New Jersey.
1t appeared from Mr.. Grey's statement
which was confirmed by United States
Senator Gray, who appeared in behalf of
that the proceeding looking to
the definite establishment of the line had
been instituted in March. 1877. and that
il had been postponed by stipulation
from one term of the Court to another.
Senator Gray stated that the fact of
the longApendency of the case was signih-
rant of the real disposition of the two
States-that in reality they did not de-
sire to bring it to an issue. He suggest
ed another continuance of the case until
the beginning of the next term of the
Court, with the understanding thai If in
the meantime the case was not settled
by the two States It should be taken off
the docket
This solution Of the problem was ac-
cepted by the Court and an order of con-
entered.
The.case involves the control of fishing
rights in the Delaware River.

IN beating the tom-tom over the es-
cape of the Cuban girl, Evangelina
Cossio y Cisneros. everyone seems to
lose sight OF the atroeious selhshness of
the affair. The girl has a father and 4
betrothed lover in the hands of the Span
iards. There was some faint ehance OF
their lives being spared previous to the
great triumph of New York journalism.
Now, it is conceded, the great escape
condemns them to death. Now, If the
girl had been In any serious peril of death
or outrage, it would not matter so much;
but we all know to a certainty that she
was in no danger whatever. Therefore.
the injury dom to her father and f~ance's
cases is wanton and unjustiaable.
Blu what does the great exponent of
yellowism care for the lives of two
men, when it can make the buyers of
penny-dreadfulse thrill with the melo-
dramatic rescue of beauty in distress.
Apparently the girl did not care much
either, but her Indifference is quite con-

garding her which have reached the pub

A PRAYER FOR LOVE.

Dear Saviour. we thank thee, that when
thou vast upon earth thou didst take little
children up in thine arms and bless them.
Now thou art gone into the heavens. we re-
joice to feel that thy love is none the less
tender and watchful, and that thy hands even
now are laid upon them in blessing. Thou
dost abide with us STILL and art nearer to US
and dearer than when thou didst walk the
earth in human form, for thou dost never
leave US. We pray thee to illumine our
hearts, that we may see with the eye OF
faith. Give US to feel thy touch upon US, that
we may go forth to our duties in the greatness
Of thy strength, and rejoice evermore. in
thee. May we be so filled with the precious
love of Christ that We shall reflect 1t upon
our children, and they. in turn, shall taste
its sweetness and power, and grow up into
thee in all things. Help us, as family, to
take hold Of hands today With a new cove
nant. with higher and deeper joy; and
pledge to thee our love and loyalty and ser
vice. Ifthere come. times Of darkness and
struggle, when the burdens press and per-
plexities thwart US, o, may we lean the
harder upon thino almighty arm, and find
strength in thee for every time OF need. We
ask it in Jesus name. Amen.

The Human Brain and Animal Brain.


The number, the extent, and the
significance of the resemblances and
peculiarlties of the human brain con-
stitute some of the most difficult NOR.
biological problems. Compare the
appearance presented by the human
head cut in two in the middle and that
of the head of chimpanzee which has
been prepared IN the same manner.
Then compare the brain of q child at
birth, as seen from the side, with the
brain of q young chimpanzee. Upon
comparison of these two aspects of the
divided brains, the resembIances are
seen to be very much more numerous
and significant than the differences.
Indeed, the differences are insjgniti.
cant; the resemblances are startling
Nobody has yet succeeded in defining
what it is that constitutes the human
brain as different from the brain of
any other animal. We may recognize
it. Any skilled anatomist would re-
cognize the human from the animal
brain; but that IS q very different
thing from formulating the differences,
and that is what we aim at. It is one
of the objects for the remainder of my
life to be able to say in words what it
is that differentiates our brain from
the brain of other animals. Arena.
