Is THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1 MARRIAGE LICENSE Showing for the A Gratifying 5 Week. Annoyance Caused by the Observance of Washington’s Birthday. The past week bas been an improvement over former weeks this year in the number of mar- riaze licenses issued, or it would have been had net the County Clerk’s employes celebrated the bithday of the Father of our Country. Up to Friday' might ninety-five licenses had been issued, and yesterday there were , the usual vumber around after <he paper for the minister,’ but were disap- ‘poioted. There were asmany as twenty-five couples sceking to invest in a license, and oxious 1o date their marriage from Washing- ton’s Birthday, and bad they been accommodated the licenses of the week would have agzregated 120,—or an increase of sixteen over any week of 1he sear. The disappointed oves went off con- Eiderably vexed, and were unwilling to postpone 1he evént they had o fondly looked forward to —the event of their fives—to satisfy the patri- otic er reverential impuises of anybody, but 1hey conld mot do otherwise. They loved the meinory of Washington, but loved one auother better, and one couple auxiously inquired if 1bey could not get married anyhow by deposit- fnzx the price of the license, and procure that im- portant paper afterward, and a wag standing by encouragred them, and off they went in search ot 1be nearest Justice of the Peace. The licenses issucd during the week were as follows: MONDAT. Kune . .. n Patien. Xolan,. ol Jost. ... K. Reihardt Gert Bu: 1. A Dfilmann.

FoxD DG LAC, Wis., Feb. 2L—Will the editorof Tue CHicAG0 TRIBUNE oblige the subscriber by inserting this letter—for reasons therein con- tained—in his columns, sddressed to V. C. Blackmer, one of the leaders in the above scheme? “ Unde et quo Catins? Non est mihi tempus aventi ponere signa novis preceptis.”—HOR. * M. V. C. Blackmer—Sm: 1 have noticed your inclosures respecting * Spelling Reform.” I cannot see the consistency of condemsing an alphaber, used in 50 many languaces, on the plea that it is_difficult for the younz mind to overcome, whilst proposing an addition of 24 per cent of empirical, rheumatic-lookinz symbols to that same alphabet, with an addition of 50 per cent to the original difficults. I cannot see any great difference be- tween this new spelling scheme and-the thousand-snd-one follies with which the world has been tormented, and on which the grand common-sense of the com- munity has looked with pity borne with pa- tience, and eventually scen buried with a sigh of relief, aud a balf prophetic inquiry of, What next? 1 cannot sce what Legislatures—Parliament- ary, Coneressional, or otherwise—can do for this w“ifeform.” Men can’t be tamght Latin, or Greek, or Aztee by act of Parliament, nor en- joined'to_any particularmode of spelling. It may be diflicult to proscribe a” lmit to the va- garies to which the agaregate bruin of a modern Legislature might aspire, but it is scarcely possi- ble they would stultifs ‘thelr. proceedings by adopting the new spelling in-their public docu- ments, for no law therein contained could be enforced from being conveyed to the people ic a Janguage unknown to them. You cannot en- force a change iu the vernacular of any country, nor in the alpbabet which has been the medium of record for the wisdom of 3,000 years, and is pow 1ssued forth, a continuous stream of in- numerable combinations, from 100,000 presses. Nor can law prevent any one from adopting this * reform,” but, then, noone can be morally bouna to uotice communications in that charac- ter. Great stress s laid by these “reformers” on the *‘waste of time and space, in type-setting, by a supposed redundance of unnécessary let- ters.” Let any popular newspaper attempt to curtail-the language of its fair proportions, and its proprietors would soon find their subscrip- tion-list becoming day by day tuinner and thib- per, and their advertisements looking out for better furnished quarters. In a mercantile point of view, there is no loss in the use of these let- ters,—they il up space which must be filled up, and save the editor the extra ““copy” which otherwise would be needed. In an artistic point of view, they are highly necessary, because an claborate picture is more pleasing to the eye thao a mere outline sketch. I see by one of your publicstions that half a dozen P‘o[cssors have been gathered into your fold of “reform.” What their literary stacus may be {s not of muck consequence—it is not likely to be much improved, however, by this as- sociation. The English-speaking population of the world numbers about 100,000,000, chiefly gathered into three great centres, the balance scattered all over the earth. This number is daily increasing from patural causes, by immigration from foreign couuntries, and in the teachine of foreign schools. Of the immigrants, the Germaus and Standinavians readily acquire a competent knowledze of ,our languace; the Latin races find it more diffcult, but, nevertheless, succeed in .the end. With such a grand hereditary record, it might have been supposed the En- glish language bad achieved 3 prestige beyond achance of dispute. Fot so, however, for we find u cligue of some score of would-be re- formers who would revolutionize the vernacular of this mighty multitude with its ubiquitous press, and so render ally past history a seated dook to its descendants, because, forsooth, these ‘““reformers” have been attacked with a morbid desire for chauge! Changes, says the proverbs, are lightsome, if only from the chair_ to . the stool, 'but these people would make a greater change,—they woula descend from the .chair to the fioor, from whence there s litile prospect of their ever rising_ arain, and where we may leave them witk a fittiog simile. The Quixotic attempt of these people would make a comparison picture to that of the bold Grascon who, with fifty volunteers, would conquer.an army of 100,000 men. He would challenre the encmy in detachments of fifty, which he would cut up, as fast as presented, until the whole was subdued! As this communication is more a critique upon the prioted documents inclosed than an answer to your letier,—which'letter, by the war, I could not eutirely make ofit, a part of it being appareotly caused by a balf-drowned fly just escaped from the ink bottle, characteristic, 1 suppose, of the reformed caligraphy,—1 an- gwer you through favor of the public press, and am, éte., JouN W.

Crudup and others, a bill filed to secure 2 judicial construction of the will of the late Malcolm MeNeill, ‘which was exccuted Nov. §, 1673. Mr. McNcill died in Christian County, Kentuckr, in February, 1675, leaving an estate valued at about $1,000,000. mostly real estate. The greater part of it was situated in the City of Chicago, and before the foire of 1871 was improved. The testator by his will provided 1hat certain portions of the prop- crty rendered vacaot by the fire should be im- proved again, and his provisions for this end bave created the ambiguity in his will which it is sought now to bave explained. His only surviving heirs are one daughter and several graudenildren. The complainant is one of the grandchilaren, and he was remembered in the will as follows: “Igiveto my grandson, Mal- |. com Caruthers, son of my daughter, Elizabeth Caruthers, deceased, subject, as all my property is, to the payment, of my debts, . . . and the rebuilding of houses on my now vacant lots in the City of Chicago, . . . the rents of the following-described property: Lots 5 and 6, in . Block 116, School Section Addition to Chicago, which houses had—before the great fire of 1871 —on_ them street Nos. 221, 23, and 2203 (Ctark strect), and has now on them three stores, with a five-story house, spread over the entire lot. . . . The said Malcom. Car- uthers to receive the. rents thereof until he is 30 years old, should he live to that period, then be shall have said lot and houses and said Jot in fee simple title, only thereafter subject to its pro rata payment of any debts against my estate, created either by me or my executors by my directions. Should Malcolm Caruthers, however, not _live to the age of 30 years, and Ieaving no children, then and in that'event this property above named is to be given oue-half to the children of Thomas Henry McNeill, the other half to the children of my daughter Mar- tha Boddie,—I mean to their then livingchildren. Should, however, Malcolm Caruthers leave a child or children then living, 1 mean living at the time he should be 30 years old, then it goes to bis child or children 5o living.” The grand- son Malcolm was 30 years old on the 1st of May, 1878, ‘The Judgesaid the plain meaning of the sec- tion in question was that the grandson should nave the rents only of the Clark street property above mentioned until he was 30 years old, and ghould then huve the fee simple title, subject only to the prorata share of such debts as had p o that time been creajed azainst such prop- erty by the testator or his executors by his di- rections. If the execntors could charge this property with a debt created _after Malcolm be- Ccame 80 yearsold, theycould charge it with debts after he was 40 years old or any other age. aud thus practically prevent bis enfoyment is share of the estate. If such had been th¥'in- tention of the testator he should have stated it in clear and distinet Janguage. The existence of the Jee in complainunt was inconsistent with i the right of the execators after such title had “vested in him to fncymber such title. The de- fendants claimed that there was a general in- tention running through the whole will to have all the testator’s vacant property in Chicagzo Fuilt up from the rents of the testator’s other Chicago property, but the will only showed that such was the intention ooly in certain cases and within a short time, and very evi- dently dia por include the present case. Looking, therefore. to the other parts of the will, there was mo general “intent to be found on the part of the testator to build up all his vacant property in Cbicago, nor to incumber the rents of bis Chi- cawo property for an indefinite period, but the evident intention was to build up certain vacant Jots und certain other lots, provided they could not be leased, and to incumber his rents for a certain detinite period in_order to erect such builaings. The case would be referred to the Master to ascertwin the amount of rents and profits derived from the buildings in question up to May 1, 1878, less taxes, etc., and also to ascertain what, if any, incumbrances were cre- ated on the testator’s property before such pe- riod for which complainant’s share would be lia- ‘le to pay its proportiol COMMERCIAL.

A crowd gath- cred in the alley in the foremoon to talk over the situation and make a few trades, principally in wheat and provisions. The grain markets were weak, and hog products strong. ‘Wheat ovened at 93%/@93%c for April, sold rather frecly for a loliday at 93}¢c, and was subsequently quoted at 933{@93}¢c. March was quiet at 9%¢e. The market closed avout }{¢ below the latest quotation of the previous even- ing. Corn was quiet at 37%@37%c for May, which s about 3gc lower than the closing Friday. Oats were nominal. Buyers and sellers were wide apart in quotations, May being given at 25@2%5}4e. - Rye sold Friday afternoon at 47%c for April. Barley was nominal at 7@80c regular, 80c for March No. 2, and 42@47c for cash extra3, and 41@4#2c for next month. Mess pork was firmer, advancing 5@7ic. Sales were reported of 8,500 brls at $10.15 for March, $10.45for May, and $10.80 for April, and the market closed at these figures. Lord was firm at §7.00 for May, and 500 tes sold for April delivery at $6.9214. Short ribs were hizher, sales being made of 100,000 Ibs seller April at $5.10. May was quot- ed at §5.25. Jobbers of staple and faney dry goods were doing a good business,—good for the time of year,—and the tone of the market was firm. ‘The demand for groceries continues satisfacto- rily active, and prices were steadily miain- tained all around. No price-changes were de- veloped in the butter and cheese markets. Trade was reported fair, and fully previous prices were being realized. Dried froits were moving -with fair liberality, and were eteady at fully vprevious prices. No changes were apparent in the fish marget. Trade was active at former quotations. Dealers in oils, paints, and colors were doing o fair seasopable business. Prices were stcady and firm. Nothing new was noted in the bag- ging, tobaceo, leather, coal, and wood markets. The demand for lumber is improving, and the market rales steadv on dry stuff, which is the kind usually ordered. Trade in the interior, the reports say, is starting, and promises to be first-class a few weeks later. The wool, broom- corn, and hide markets were unchanged. Seeds were quiet. Hay sold to the retail trade at re- cent figures, the low grades being easy under free offerings. The demand for poultry and ezgs was fair at reduced prices, due chiefly to the large offerings and the mild weather. The sales of ercen fruits were fair. The bright sun- shine calted out the street fruit-venders, and in- terior orders were more numMerous. The vessel owners held another meeting yes- terday, and it is understood they decided to is- sue a circular to the lake vessel owners, asking them to pledge themsclves not to accept less than 3c per bu for cora to Buffalo during the coming season of navigation. The circulars are to be sent out at once, and, if the answers are favorable, a convention will probably be called at Cleveland on the 12th of March, in order that this question, and some other matters of inter- est to the lake marine, can be fully discussed and formally acted upon. ] The following dispatch was received from New Castle, Ind., yesterday: * Freezing at night and thawing during the day has done areat dam- age to wheat. No old wheat in the country.” ) LUMBER. The following statement of the production of lamber in the district supplying Chicago is fur- nished by the last number of the Northwestern ZLumberman. 'The quantities lcft over are given in the right-hand column. The lumber is repre- sented in million feet: 1878, 322,37 1878. 394 1877, 271,8 Green Bay Shore.. Mieligacons .

London Naturallst, Bats live their active lives in the night; when suolight comes they ily away to their holes, there to sleep until twilijzht comes azain, when they resume their occupation of inscet killing, The female bat has u hard time ot it; sheis the nest. and bas to procure the foud for the young uutil they are themselves able to fly. Often bave I seen a female bat with her youngclinging to her breast, flying about in search of food, und the little ones were not so small either. How else could they zet along? The old ones make no nest; if ‘they wanted to ever so much, they could not, and the chances are that from their wandering habits they spend the day in one place and the next in another twogr three miles distant, just as they bappen to be when day overtakes them, aud if thevleft their young behind them the exact locality might be forgot- ten. When the young ones are abie to shift for themselves their mother’s life is easier, and nn- til winter comes to kill their iusect food she lives luxuriously. Then, when all nature is prepar- ing to put on the livery of winter, bats, instead of leaving the scenes where they have pussed the summer, repair to their haunts in the caves and walls, and hanging by their hind feet in little groups ot five or six together, pass the dreary scason in one unbroken sieep. ———— A Pack of Staghounds Drowned. Zondon Truth. It was asad accidest that befell the Roscom- ‘mon staghounds while lately hunting a red hind specially procured from Yorkshire. The meet toak place at Buyle, and the run Ied in’ the direction of Cavetown. Roscommon abounds in small lakes, upon which, at the timeof the gricvous disaster, the ice still remained. At Cavetown the hind was sorely pressed, and, fol- lowing her natural fustincts, betook herself to the large lake in the vieinity of the town, and slipped forward till she reached the middle of the lake, and then turned round to give battle to her pursuers, The hounds were soon upon the poor beast, and, attacking her ou all sides, pullea ber down on to the ice, which, unable to bear the weight, gave way, and precipitated both pursuers uud pursued into the freezing waters. Every possible effort was made by the spectators of thie catastrophe to extricate the floundering pack, but, owing to the thmmness of the ice, with puor result. Only eight of the thirty hounds constituting the pack were rescued. AMUSETENTS. VOLEY’'S TIEEATRE. R. M. HOOLEY.....Sole Proprictor and Manager.
