lay when Judge John Lynch hnudd
down a decision favorable to Mr. Mc
Dowell whoso tenure for the ensiling
three years i thereby judicially con
firmed. The opinion is a most import
ant one aa it disposes of a question con
cerning tho constitutionality of the art
of lSDo" (extending tho tonus of tax col
lectors to three years) and the repeal

president judge has since that tinw ap

McDonnell's couusol iuvolvini; the con
stitutionality of tho act of 1871. The
commonwealth also contonded that tlie
act of liSUU is local and ipecial legisla
tion, in tlmt it applies to
townships and boroughs and there

Considering the latter (litestii.P, the
court decides that tho act of 18So luv

GORMAN'S
GRAND DEPOT
A Sundered I'urlnnrehip.
He was clirty and disreputable, and, as
be sut on an ash barrel up on Monroe av
enue last evening just about dusk, it was
My to see that he was mad. His hands
clutched at an imaginary foe and his lips
muttered all ,lio swear words which are in
the vocabulary of the old time tramp.
A short distance from him, on another
nsh barrel, sat another tramp, even more
dirty and disreputable thun the first, if
that were u possibility. Ho was munching
something from out of a paper bag that he
helil in bis band, aud was seemingly at
peace with himself and all the world. The
first tramp slmt evil glances at him out of
his bleary eyes, and to the person who
cared to listen it was soon evident that tho
curses he was spreading about with such a
prodigal mouth were all directed at tho
secoud.
"vv hat's the mutter?" asked a young
man who whs passing.
"Wat's do mutter? Well, dere's plenty
null do matter, sec? Me nn dat stuff over
dere's been pards for ten years, and we've
tramped it all over dis hero country, see?

"Can't imagine," said tho young man.
"Well," said the trump, as his tone be
came ono of intense disgust, "well, an me

"Speaking about horses," said Colonel
Calliper, "reminds me of ahorse that was

"The horse could trot, as fast as ever, but
bis kicking knocked off that fJOO of value.
If the owner could have realized on the
horse when he was at his best that JOO at

kicking might might be turned to account.
It. took a man some time every day to cut

and that it would yield at least an equal

1 ha borough council met on Satur
day evening. President Lane presided
and the other members present were
Messrs, Jones C.illroy and Pudden. A
iiuiuh.r of bills were presented and
Ibw secretury was directed to draw
orders in payment of them. There
was considerable discussion over the
appointment of a policeman to serve
n the main street on Sunday evenings.
The burgess disputes the right of the
police oouunitti'H to appoint, and
claims he is but exercising his privi
leges when he places a pulioemau on
duty. The matter was finally laid
over until a inter meeting. Dr. Van
Uoren iippeared oefore the council und
aeked lotormution concerning Ills
duties as phvsician of the board of
health, in the in a I tor of charging for
burial pormiU and transit permits, and
also us to the foes of the other officers.
A committee was appointed to ascer

next meeting of the council.
Who Were "Hook and Crook.'
There have !een many attempts made to
explain the origin of I'm phi-use "By Hook
or Crook." Tho llpstou News letter of
Jauliury, 177H, explains tha expression
thus: "Hook and Crook were the names
of two English judge at the begiuning of
the. hut century. They were both men of
eminence iu their profession, but not more
remarkable, for anything than for the per
petual diversity of opinion that prevailed
oetween them on matters of legal juris
prudence. Hu the case what it would.
every suitor, was sure to have cither Hook
or Crook on his Hide."
Wilson's "Origin of Familiar Words and
Phrases" says Hint il probably means
foully like a thief or holily likea bishon."
the hook being used by burglars, the crook
being the bishop's ero.ier. "The Hand
book of Fact and Fancy" gives the follow
ing story under the heading of "By Hook
Crook:" 8' rim great lirout Loudon in
HUM destroyed liVJtKi Iioukcs, and in many
cases obliterated nil the boundary marks
requisite to determine the sites occupied
by buildings previous to the lire. When
the rubbish as removed disputes arose
among the people as to tho position nud
:ttc nt of their landed estates.
Tbesecontentions promised not only in-
ermiuable lawsuits, but also delayed the
rebuilding of the city until they could bo
settled. Accord i ugly two of the most ex
perienced surveyors of tho day, Mr. Charles
Hook and Mr. Ceorgo Crook, were called
upon to act as arbitrators in the matter,
landowners entering into n compact to
take the decision of Hook nud Crook as
final and binding. From this fact uroso
the now famous phrase which heads this
article."
As a fourth solution of tho mystery, on
old London legend tells us t hat the numer
ous families of Hook and Crook formerly
did the ferry business for the wholo British
metropolis. No odds on what bout you
crossed tho Thames you were sure to ride

Lnndor's domestic uuliappiness was too
well knowu to be ignored; und I have
known him refer to the circumstance oc
casionally, hut. I never beard him utter a
word of blame. He said merely that "life
was rendered impossible to him tn Italy."
1 have heard him regret, when contrasting
otiicr mid more congenial marriages, that
he "unfortunately was taken by a pretty
face."
Kenyotrrclated to me an incident in the
Luudor honeymoon that is significant. Un
ono occasion, it seems, the newly married
couple were sitting side by side; Iindor
was reading some of his own verses to his
bride and who could read more exquisite
lywhen all at once the lady, releasing
herself from his arm, jumped up, saying:
Uh, do stop, niter; there s that dear de
lightful Punch performing in the street. I
must look out of the window." Exit poetry

of bis parting from his family. "There
was no qparrel," ho said, but he had re
solved in his own mind to leave his home.
The evuing lador", it seems, he had said.
Mrs. Landor, will jou allow me the use of
your carriage tomorrow morning to take
me the first Htage out of Florence?" The
request was accorded, no further words
passed between this ill assorted couple,
and so the next day I left forever," said
Landor. lieutleniau's Magazine.
