There has lately come from the press a volume entitled "The Federalist System." by Prof. John Kpcnccr llas eett, of the chair of history of Trin ity College, and In The New York Sun of Sunday there Is an elaborate and eiceedlngly complimentary review f It which covers nearly four columns avnd Is as Interesting as a novel. The Sun article says of the book that It "in a valuaible addition to the 'Ameri can Nation aeries, edited by Prof. Al bert Bushnell Hart, of Harvard l ull verslty, and published by the Harpers," and the writer of the review ontlnu'-s: "The book covers a period comprised by the administrations of WimlilriKton I and John Adamx, the period which wit nessed the development of the Federalist Interpretation of our constitution and which ended with the repudiation by the American peoplo of Federalist ascen dancy, so fur as the Executive anil Con res were concerned, though Federalist principles continued to be applied by Chief Justice Marshall In the Judicial de partment. We need not enlarge upon the difficulty hitherto experienced by stu dents and writer In dcllfrng Impartially with this Initial and crital part of our national history. Alhtrtst every lnvestl-l gaior lias been, by prepossession or hubit of thought. Inclined totake a distinctly Federalist or a distinctly Jeficrxonlan view of the political events which took place between rTW and 1S01. Prof. Bussett comes exceptionally near to holding the balance even. He shows himself capable of being Just at once to Hamilton and to Jefferson, and he is as keenly alive to the services as to the faults of the Federalist party. This Is. we scarcely need point out, a desideratum which Is not supplied in the two histories with which the gen eral reader is most familiar, those, name.

In Size and trade It then surnaas. ed Boston. It seems strange now to be told that In 1790 Virginia was not only the most populous State,.. but contained almost twice as many inhabitants as the next largest, Pennsylvania, and that New York was exceeded not only by those two Commonwealths, but also by North Car olina and Massachusetts, and was some what closely approached by South Car olina and Connecticut. Virginia, Indeed, lurked only 80,000 of having In 1790 as many Inhabitants as nil the New Eng land Males which Joined In the adoption me constitution. Under the circum stances it is scarcely surprising that of the first five Presidents four should have been citizens of the Old Dominion " We have read thin review with pride and pleasure. It la clenr thnf tv,i. work of Dr. BasseU's Is such an one as to reflect great credit on the schol arship of North Carolina, otherwise It could not have dieted such notice as it has from the source upon which we have drawn. Olive Logan was a name familiar to all newspaper readers In th lTniri States say thirty to. forty years ago. She was an actress, playwright and afterwards, a special newspaper writer. She went Into literary work in England under the direction of Charles Reade, ne novenst, and married an author and newspaper man who was appolnt- d I nlted States consul at Cardiff. Wales, by President Grant. He died and while she was writing; plays for Augustine Daly Bhe married a second irne. jnow we read that " fw .!,.. go she had her huaband arraigned In nun ana urgea inn mne-utmia tn ommit him to an Institution. They had been turned out of their small apartments for non-payment of rent nd were, in the direst want. 'I still ovc my husband, but he won't bring any money home. He stops In the sa- oon and his money Is all gone by the irne he gets to the flat. Her husband a night watchman and la 22 years er Junior. She Is 67." This is an other addition to the long list of the tragedies of rum. It has brought this able woman, who once filled a large space In the public eye, to the depths of want and woe. The story Is pathet ic In the extreme. - KAPPA.1 DELTAS' CONVEXE. t ; Ttta first Seaelon of Annnai Con veil - f a a - .a. mr ...

Moore, of tho weather bureau, proposes to issue forecasts covering a whole month. It is stated that "he formerly considered long-range weath er prophesies mere delusions" but has changed his mind. His first opinion was no diubt the wiser one. There Is an approach to accuracy in the fore casts as at present given out a nearer approach than most people Imagine, for they take note of the occasions when the bureau misses the mark and are too apt to overlook those when It hits it. But, missing as often as It does on Its twenty-four hour fore casts, what can be expected when It goes to guessing a month ahead? One could about as well depend upon the wmiiwr iruuoiiiiies ror a year as set forth In Blum's Almanac. THE EIRE DEPARTMENT. HORSES Col. A. L. Smith TcHh Some Intereat- Ing Facts About Tliem. Col. A. t,. Smith and an Observer reporter Were standing on the square several days ago when the cltv clock struck the hour of eleven. As usual. the Are bell sounded immediately there after. Col. Smith, who is chairman of the Are department, remarked: xne horses In the Are station are remarkable animals In many ways. Every day -when the clock begins to strike eleven, they pull on their hal ters, rear up, kick, cavort and stir around generally. And when the fire bell sounds nothing can hold them. They rush out and get under the har ness and are ready for the run. Those horses love the excitement more than ny of the members of the depart ment. 'I can't understand how It Is that they know when 11 o'clock Is to strike. When 10 o clock sounds they pay no attention whatever to It. The same with 6. , 8, 10 o'clock or any other houe or tne day or night. The horses stand In their stalls, dull and listless. But when the first stroke of 11 Is heard. they are In a fumr of excitement, They don t wait for the Are bell. In some way they know what Is coming. When the Are bell strikes. If there Is no further alarm, the horses return o their accustomed places and there is nothing further doing. I int tell how It Is that the horses know when the 11 o'clock sounds. Can they count and keep record of the hour preced ing, or Is It highly developed Instinct. Certainly It Is interesting."
