II Is said that the rooms the court seeks nro on the second Hour , nnd iioxv occup ) d by the governor. The rumor is nlloal liuil Commisilonor Sleln has gone to St. I'nul , Minn. , to int'-rvicxv Architect "Wlleoxns to Ins original intentions und lo secure Iho plans nnd npocl Heat Ions xx'licn , II Is underslood , the board xvill ael In Iho inntU'r. It noxx' seems probable thai n breeze tif some magnitude is broxvlng , for a vury ilellcalo mailer is In hand. The gox-ornor lias taken possession t > f the rooms in ques tion , nnd Is having them furnished in keep ing xvith the dignity of his position. It Is Bald that the gftvornor porsotmlly requested the board to assign these rooms to him , anil that consent was givmi. Following Is Iho petition : To Iho Hoard of Public Lands and Hulld- Iiigs Orntlemcn : The constitution has * clothed xx lib you the " ( jnnorul supervision mid eonlrol" of the rnplliTi building , and xvo desire to rail your attenlion lo thu fad that thu present rooms used for the supreme court nro entirely lnadeiualo | U ) nccommo- ilalo the mcinbprs of Iho bar and people liux'- ing business before Ihls court , nnd that in consequence of plncing a largo boiler imme diately under Iho lloor of Iho consullallon , for the purpose of linaiing the main building , tlnil room Is iinliMianlnblo. The laxv library is ono of Iho boat in Ihe counlry , and Is 1'onstnntly increasing in value , and members of Iho bur from nil pnrls of the stale , having htisine.su before Iho court , continually resorl lo It to uxiitnine authorities for citation In suq | > ort of their cases in this court. Many of these allorneys como hundreds of mlles for tlio purposes In dicated at n heavy expense , nnd llnd it necessary to upend every moment of the time possible i'l the library in the examination of nulhorillcs unlll their ruses are railed , xvhc-n the books are brought mto conrl for llielr use. and frequently several hundred nro so presented in the couruo of n slnglo day. Thu sumo books nro necessary In the consultation room xvhen a decision is agreed upon , nnd by the several Judges In xvritmg opinions. The laxv upon the various questions presented lethe the court Is to bo gathered from the thousands of volumes in the library. This being so , it is indispensable that thu court room and the library be close at hand or adjoining each other. With this purpose in vloxv , xvc are reliably informed , that the uecond lloor of the main capitol building was designated for Iho state library and supreme court , nnd thai Iho legislature in 1S3U , in pro viding lor the ereelion of Iho building , odoplcd these plans , xvhioh are still m force. "Wo respectfully ask you to carry oul these lilans nml provide tno court at once xvith a nultablo court room and a consullallon room , whurn authorities may bo reau nnd the au thorities may be examined by the Judges without discomfort and danger to health. Unas .boon suggested that the court bo liold either in the llrst or third stories of the building. To this xvo xvould have made no objection had Iho library boon placed on cither ol said stories xvith n suitable court room adjoining , but in nddition to the faet that the library Is not to bo placed on cither of said Doors , there is no suitable room in which to hold court In either ; besides , it would bo tin imposition upon the members of the bar of the stale , us xvcll to require parties to carry bookw the long distance proposed - posed , saying nothing of the loss to the state by Iho destruction of books. In conclusion wo desire to say thai lo Ihls tltiio xvo Imx'o examined and decided all Iho cases presented ixt each term , which has boon accomplished only by close and unremitting application from early in Ihe morning till late at night , and but for convenient nccoss to the library this result xvould not have been attained.

Inst night to n very largo audience , comprising many ladies. The lecture was one of the wcoklj "Gym- n-.isium course , " nnd Judging by thq Increased attendance ) those addresses are becoming moro appreciated each week. The lecturer Is an oxporl on the lecture platform , where so many public speakers fail. He is torso nnd eloiincnl , commanding a beautiful lloxv of Improaslx'x language , which marks with characteristic distinctiveness - ness the meaning of each Idea nnd theory. In the early stages of his lecture he gathers the minds of his listeners Into the meshes of the subject on which ho discourses nnd holds them until the end. Tno nudicncc last night xvnn no excep tion to the Influences of the graphic description * of the speaker and listened with the utmost attention us Iho leelnrer unrav elled thread by thread Iho mysteries of the solar system and scientific dovclopmcnl. Ho began by asserting that the subject of his lecture "World Making"xx'as not nn original idea of his own , bill was ono on which the greatest of scicntillc men had tlex'otcd very much and valuable tlmo. Wo lix-o in a little xvorld. All at our feet and that which x\-o see wo know abnut ; all outside is to many of us unknoxvn. Look ul Ihe sky. There are over 0,000 stars. Stars nro not worlds. They nro suns xvith systems like our world. Ho then described the diameter nnd circumfer ence of the earth and the distance of the moon from thu earth. The sun Is a great ball of llro ox-er burning. It would take a world 1-100,000 , times as largo as this to make the sun. All tlio wonderful movements of the heavenly bodies shoxv Iho hand of a Supreme Helng. Never colliding , never taking n xvrong course , never u xvrcck of the system. Wo can fore tell for n thousand years the phenomena of the sky , and decide with the accuracy ot minute * its movements. The hand of God Is plainly visible in II all. Wo should never at tach time to the conception of the Dolly. Ono day is as a thousand years in His sight. No past , no present with Him. Kx-or eternal , ever present. The earth is a globe of fire , with a thin crust of different substance on the surface. This shell is ns thin in proportion as that of an cgu. Ho then described Iho geological formation of lliis surface. Science enables us to re construct the past nnd by its nid xvo can look and inquire into the ages long gono.

Florence appeared last night nX Hoyd'ft In the "Almighty Dollar. " Their performance in this celebrated pteco has boon annually commmitod upon for years. Nothing that has not boon said of them may noxv bo xvrlttcn. They play their characters \v 1th their old tituo case and success and the audience laughs ns frequently and nt Iho same funny things It did xvhcn the play first sprang into notoriety. In It , these mnuy years , ninny nctors have shone and disap peared , lint the play and'tho principals still go on , nnd xvill , It is presumed , continue to go on , If not forever , at least until the play ers nnd populace shall luivu tired of what has brought fame nnd fortune to the ono nnd to the other some of the most hearty nnd Innocent ' cent entertainment afforded' by the American boards. _ _ There is considerable difference between "Alvln Joslln" nnd "One of the Old Stock.1 The former was rubbish. The latter is not entirely free from buncombe but has n story xvhlch is aptly told. The auditor is Intro duced to a variety of characters whom one may find In almost nny New Knglnnd village. The principal of these , of course , Is Iho latest edition of Alvin Joslln , xvhlch Is that of an eccentric Vermont farmer. The character was never drawn to represent n class , but rather an individual of a class with peculi arities BO strongly davclopod as to pluco him with the appreciation of the actor and audience. The chnrnetor , last night , wiw played by Kdxvln Wight. Ho looked it xx-ell nnd strongly resembled Jivls , In whoso stead no xx-as playing. He lost no opportunity to make the most of his character without , howovor. a suggestion of buffoonery , xvhlch has largely character ized the xx'orif of his principal. The char ncter has some rare tout-lies of nature , nnd the playwright has surrounded il with many fealures xvhlch give il an appropriate setting. There are sonic poor actors in thu c.ist , nnd some good ones , notably Daniel Jnrrett , Miss Connlo Thompson and Miss Rnv Hrlscoo. The last mentioned , hoxvovor , sacrificed clear ness of enunciation to tioiso and passion In the excited scone of the third act.

" When asked In regard to the policy of this government , he referred tlio questioner to Iho president's ' message lo congress on the 15th inst. The secretary also alluded to the agreement en tered into bolxveon Great Britain and Ger many In April 18SO , doilning the boundaries of the English and German dominions In the West Pacific ocean , in which it is specific ally declared that the Samoan islands nro neutral territory. The United States , ho ex plained , has no Joint treaty xvith either Eng land or Germany in regard to the neutrality of Samoa. Therefore , if Germany has inter fered with the neutrality of that country , sbo has not broken a treaty xvith the Unite u Stales , but broken one with Great Britain. A fllcrltetl Punishment.

THE SUN OF DANA. It Continues In the Ijlnc or Henry Clay nutl Horace Grcclry. Chnrles A. Dana , though hardly the personal friend of Iloroco Grcoloy , writes Gathin the Cincinnati Enquirer , has shoxvn u consistency respecting the views of that chief of editors which is porlmps overlooked. Although Greoloy turned him out of the Tribune in the war period xvhon Grooly xvautcd to make-u private and ollicious peaeo and Dauu wanted to make fierce war , Mr. Dana supported Mr. Greeloy for president in the Sun , fol lowed "Greeloy in his union xvith the liberals and southern whigs over into the temporary form of the democratic party , and there continued to fight for Groeloy's tarilT principles , disregarding the clamors of stockholders and the Jesuitry of rivals xvho hoped to cajole his circulation nxvay. Ho comes out triumphant , the stock of his paper not depreciated , and I think lie ia generally regarded hero as the successor of Horace Greoloy. Being a man of lit erature as xvoll as noxvs , his subjects of public comment are far moro numerous than these xvithin the understanding of the average slip-shod , hue and cry , Richolty Barloxv editor. About ono-half our nuxvs seems to be printed in order lo deny it next day. The subjects of permanence generally lie outside of crime , personal politics and the business olllco of the newspaper. Tlioro is a noxx-s aspect to noxvs more in forming and striking than sensation. I regard Iho sonsaiional period of noxvs to be the offspring of the evanescent 111- torost of circulation ; for pormanonlcir- culation must be based , like permanent credit , upon a standaru character for perception. The cutting down of noxvs- paper sale prices to i ! cents was as great an injury to civilization , self-respect and deference to authority as a conquest of Noxv York by little imps. The news is noxvorkou up. " Editors are afraid to bo courageous , losttlioy lose some ne farious bit of circulation they have ac quired by trespass. The Sun of Dana , for ho is the Sun , continued in the line of Henry Clay and Horace Greoloy , xvho xvoro both emanations - tions from the national democracy of Madison , Alexander Dallas und Dimiol \Vob5tor. After the oxplration of the federal ists' party its views , ever triumphant , split the xvar democracy of IKlli in half. To that national republican element belonged Callioun fur some years , Do Witt Clinton and Vim Huron. II prob ably absorbed Jefferson , Madison and Monroe before they died , for nil thobo prosiuents had been compelled , us soon as they cuurioil to bo politicians , to take high federalist ground. The federalists of New England took the position vacated by Jolt'orfcon and and became "stato " company , rights" puoplo. secessioniats , and 'strict , " alias silly , conulruulloiilsts. The Mndlsoriian party became the national , imperial , American Hag party. After the xvar of 1812 Mr. Madison signed the United States haul ; bill ho had opposed before ho became a federalist. The rude , savage - ago , poor white uloimyil of the country was afterwards unlisted under Jackson and Callioun , and 'made into another anti-federal party , by a re action moro personal tluui pros- porous. JftuUson hated the old Miullaoniau otllco-holdord , Callioun 1mtod Jackson. Hut for a porlod they led the same uleiaontb toward iho tame gonorni camp , which upon thdlr decline became the democratic party o ( Tyler , Polk IMorco and Huchnnnn. Again the foilerulistlo principle liail to bo revived by the danger of tlio common country , and has Insted to this hour , triumphant for thirty years. Cleveland accepted II for throe years out of four , proclaiming his object to bo the recovery of confidence to the democracy with the majority of the voters. This majority xvas the national or fedoraUstlo opinion. In 1888 Mr. Cleveland was decoyed over to the sulky , non-conforming school , which Is never far boloxv the surface of a purely voluntary society. Ho lost his otllce nnd most of his reputation. The most intrepid of his opponents in the east xx-nstho Sun , which only nootls to throxv luvay Its old kuklux regalia of the mask of ox-l'rcsltlent Hnyt's , the GrnnU. etc. , to have Iho national quality so much appreciated in this country by these whose appreciation is noblo. When the press of the United Stales learns to see the xvholo land instead of black spots on U the nuntomv instead of the pimples and pustules I hero xvill bo great political purtioa abreast of us , * A Gliom Iliuiutotl Ship. Boston Bulletin : "You see , messmates mates , " says the oltl quartermaster , as ho scats himself comfortably again , "In n seafaring life xvo moot xvith many rough jobs that are out of all ordinary calUilation , and what thorn as haven't been to yea wouldn't ' hardly boliovu. Tlioro xvas tlmt ship xvo fell In with In the China sea that xvas an odd thing , that xvas. It was only just after day light in the morning xvatch as some one sung out 'Snil ahimil. ' But it wasn't much of a sail , for there was only ono mast the foremast standing , but a big ship a-going steady aloro the wind , xvith her forotopsnil sot , but not hauled taut , but all Happing like. Well , x\-o sco as there xx'aa no ono aboard , or , If so bo there xvns , they didn't knoxv how to mnnngo nor. So when xvo'd run down a little ahoatl of hotwo lowered a boat , and I was ono of the boat's croxv as xvout aboard ; and as wo pulled up to her xvo could see nobody on board , butouly heorod a dog barking ; and when xvo xx-ont up tlio side , sure enough , there xvas a half starved dog a sitting upon the body of a man ; and xvhon ho sees us ho sots up n dreadful howling , but still he didn't seem dis pleased to sec us , but throxv back his oars , though ho looked dreadful melan choly and down in the mouth. But the curious thing xvas to see the number of rats that xycro running about the decks , for the ship wtus water-logged , and the rats were drlv up from boloxv and oblogod to shift for thomsolvcs. Well , there wor thr6o more dead botllos lying About ; nml vi'hon wo como to look at thorn the rats had oat most ot their faces nnd necks , and ripped opou their jackets to got at tlio Ilosh olfcwhere , but thu corpses as the dog xvns sitting on they hniln't boon nblo to touch ; for , you aoo. the rats , they lived upon the dontl bodies , and the dog ho lived upon tlio T-ats so xvo supposed by the carcass ot ono of ' 0111 as xvas lying near him. And such rats as they xvoro I iiovor sec ul- most jvs big as hnlf grown rabbits , nnd so tame that they didn't inuko no ac count of us.

Well , wo tried to got into the cabin , but that was full of water , and so was everything boloxv dock ; and there wa.s no name upon the atom , so wo couldn't mnko it out xvhero the ship xvas from or xvhere bouiill ; and xvo sunivhed the cap tain's pockets , but couldn't llnd no mom * oratidttm nor name , only a lovo-lottuc soxved up in a ploeo of oilskin inside his jacket , nnd signed 'Sarah. ' And xvliou xvo xvoro thinking xvlmt was host to bo done , whether to throw the bodies over board or xvlmt , a voit'o , as seemed close to us , sung out in a curious low tone , moro llko a female's than a mail's , 'ship ahoy , there !
