CITY ITEMS.
Kapacity Rott;n-*3Hoi).?Our meek and
self-denying Aldermen, who were the very perfoc.
tion of diimterestednes* last (October, are playing
the game ef Retrenchment and Reform bravely.
The moment they settled Into their seats, there
came a perfect shower of resolutions calling for all
aorta of information, and putting all the heals of I
Departments to as ; h difficulty a.r possible.
Then they attempted to outlaw the doings of their
predecessors, for the purpose of seizing upon seve?
ral large contract* for their hungry partisans.
They next instituted a ngid inquiry Into tenure of I
elt-rk.shit", atse.| so as lo grao nil that could be
tearhed la that dirOeiUoa , and so ferocious were
they for potsorof appoilsaaat. Ihat they ipiarrcled
with their oan friend, the Commissioner of Stieets
and Lamps, because he had the '.emerity to appoint
ItaapUghlOlt allheal Bel lag the permtssionof cer?
tain Aldeimi n ard .\>n?.imts, whose own right to
seats in tie Hall and at the tettab.e is very doubtful.
Aiesolutioi. was oilereil to turn Harry out Ofoaace
on the gioiind of non iesidi nee. but 11 did not pre
rail, became there was a law winch covered the
case.
They n? at laid violent hands upon the City In?
spector's business, altering the organic law of tbe
Depart men t to tui'l their own purposes, turning out
the De put > Inspector and seizing upon the appoint?
ment of night scavenger* . so we presume these noc?

la the 1 ate id I hi h K? y a ?'J '11 It. Overtea,
Uied before Judge Daly n tne New York CoaBBMaj
Pleat, tte action was on a pi 0 mi story note of
etas as, plaintiff claiming $300 aad interest.
It appeared that Fanner. Whitney d Co, Jane
McMlrjlme.A Thompson, ga?e their note indorsed by
defendant Overton for $330. for ? bill of furniture,
reetivirg, in fact, only Bat! 99 thereof. Wf.en that
note became due Otataaat oh Itap by giving the
tote is ruit, which was aftererard transferred by
AlcMinline A Thonsp* 1 i. iff.
The defense wat usury, the rate set ep being li)
pet rent. The interest included in the last note,
?3 SSfor thirty days. Baaaaatad to ab nr. II per cent.
Mr. J Nei.son. counsel fo' pi untiir, called TlnBBJ
aon, one of the payee* and imiorr-ers of the note, to
explain the mistake in the caieul uu>n of the inter?
est. Thereupon Mr J. \\ E urr, BOsOaaaat'a co'in
ae), called hit oan c'ieu, BMdeieadaat, to 1 ontra
dltt Thomaeon, and though aayoetuin was mvde.
tbe Judge held that he was taatpttaal und?r a pro?
vision ol the ca&e, winch provides that irA^ Hue
eigwee ?f a claim bring? suit and rail* tie a*ti?nor a?
awitnete, tee de/rndant may be a BBBBM fe testify at
ait earn behalf.
The objection seemed to be tha1 I . , . v .
not an dMip'tsor, but the Ju.'ge seeined desiro * 1
five the Code, on that petBA, a lioeral construction.
It waa objected by pluinlid's counsel that as de?
fendant bad as a defense set ep usury at the rate of
?0 percent., that must be proved ugjJaiJ, and that
though a larger amount or rate was uken or agree I
?poa, the defense must fall aal tae Jm'tt at 10?
etrurttd the Jury.
After argument, pro and on.tlie BOB ft SB OBJ TBBBJ
cot'flieting, plaintiff had a verd.ct for the amount
claimed
The decision OB the former point ?howa progress*
?bat oa the latter adheres to the old la ar strictly \ but
thia appeared to be because of the peculiar and
Penal natuie ol Ihe de'ense, the law as to usury be
"g not fatored, but fairly an^ atru tly construed.

THE PROBLEM OF II I'M., N DESTINY.
ixcniti: iv_by akv. na. DatWBT.
The Fourth Lecture- of this course, on
1 on lay aigBt, was en the Human Soul, in rcfer
?n ?? ?oit* capacities for spiritual culture. We h ive
already, said Dr. Dewey, considered the phyatcal or
?.ar. raion of man . we come row to the sjul it*;lf,
w h i" a-1 .astir"-* from thatoreat i/ationas if it were

Hxot in lh<ir r-ature, ar.d no sophistical adroitners
i . n make then cr e. Bone, sinew, and brain exist
In tattntate cor-nectmn with thought, f.eling, and
r i.Mti.ce. I tit to ray that they are the s tine is aa
tnsiird a' to maintain that because the e>e cannot
fi c wi'hout hi tit, the < >c and light are l?entic iL
Ncr do I acknowledge any special obscurity in
|] ' Nil ?' t. Indeed, we are more strictly cognizint
ci the cxistei i e || d action of the mind, than we are
ot lbs existent e and action of matter. If" we could
examine tha oonicJaaaaaaj of a cluld, I presumo, we
should find tl at be recurded his body as no lets IX
tr .re. 'm ? > i,mi.m.j', H un i' .t beloti>el to another
plai t. He feels that his soul i< his own, but tnat is
ii than he knows in tegatd to his fool. Philoso
piers have denied Ihl existence of the material uni?
verse, but no one in his ?enses has ever doubted his
o?n existence. We are better acquainted with the
action of our spiritual nature, than w e are with the
rationale of pbytic.il effects. I have a far better
comprehension of the process by which, from the
comparison of two truths. I deduce a third, than I
have of the process by which combustion is pro?
duced on the application of heat.
On any theory of the human soul, the problem of
it; faculties and capacities is one of extreme inter?
est. Even if you suppose that it is inert, helplesi,
morally dead, prior to the exeecise of a di\ ine infiu
er.ee, by w hich it is regenerated in beauty and power,
there must be a curious and wonderful machinery,
upon which that influence Operates, and through
which the agency of a celestial unction is manifest.
But, for my own t art, said Dr D , I cannot admit the
iiitimsic evil of the human soul. As it comes from
ti e bands of the Creator, it is uiftei with noble and
sublime endowments, an object of awe and admira?
tion, and born for a high and holy desttn v.
The soul is presented in a three-fold aspect, that
is to say, as possessing intelle tual, aesthetic, and
moral faculties. In each of these spheres, we per
ccive its celestial origin and its lofty end.
In the field of intellect, the Baal ha.s the power of
perceiving intuitive trutns, and deducing others by
a protefs of reasoning. There are certain primary
nib' in ideas, fixed and bedded in the very nature of
the soul, like unity, identity, siibstar.ee, cause and
effect, and the like, which need no demonstration
and are perceived by their own light. 0:hers are
the fruit of consecutive and analitic ratiocination,
?a faculty of the richest result* and most important
bearings. '1 hen there Is the vast domain of science,
boih mental and physical, which presents such an
admirable illustration of the gre ttne,s of the soul
We cannot even follow lh>; researches of ureal
witters in this fitid without a thrill of euntian.
When I ponderover the lucid p.i?esof Dag ll I BU w
art, that most Miblnne modern philosopher, to wh >iu
such a Just and eloquent tribute nas been paid by
SirJatile* Mackintosh, 1 feel as if 1 were a uoa'l
taller and can only glva veat t, my ineffable feel?
ings by ttnding ae loss the room.
Isor should we confine the range of knowledge
within the narrow limits of book learning. The
biazeii ela.'ps of a monki*n volume, or the purple
( over* Of ? fashionable produ Rtioa of tho d iy, can?
not comprise the ihtellectual treasures of the uni?
verse. Tha oommoa ser.se of the people is the
?|>oi taneous utterance of the soul. It ombodiai a
lui.d of wisdom in tene oracles. More pfagBaBt
than tte deductions of literature, the pr^vcrDl of
the multitude assert the best ex:>er.eiiee of a;e?. It
is in lata to Mats h :n librariea lor maxims ot point
?o brevity and massive wisdom like trie old Bay tags,
"HoBOaty is the rest polt y," ?? ilandso.ae istbat
liai^iMUno doe*," " Tune and tide w ait for no man,"
anu the lue. Tte distinction between common
?eure and philosophy has been ?trikinglv illustrated
11 ti e celebrated rrench Eclectic, Joutfroy. Com
Bi on ??use, he remark*, tee*, philosophy observes.
Common eei.se looks over the whole field of kno ei?
nigt, perceives it dirn'y, but li tvir.g no prejudices,
jucges ccrrtct.y. philosophy dwells on special
torn:*, auvancea its theories, which Humanity ra
i ?nes or rejects, in proportion to lae r agreement
OTelatagtossasnl with twaaaaai <ienie.

Yellow Kiv.-rof China us mint? Ac or in- uici
nremmts have been made of the amount of land
formed at the Delta of the Missnsi; pi, which will be
coosBtleredat toagth tl another lecture. Wheu these
formations were first commenced, the temperature
was much warmer than at present owing to the dif
ft lern e of the thickness of the crust. The atmos?
phere was charged with carbonic acid gas, in such
quantities as to preclude the possmlity ot either ani?
mal o- vegetable life. Gradually, as the crust
cooled, it shrunk and adapted itself to the molten
mass within. Tins caused irregularities in Us sur?
face, forming highta and depths which continue to
c! nee to Ihe present time. At first merely islands
were to be seen arising from the water.bnt gradually
more land made ite appearance. At this stage, strati?
fication went on with great rapidity, in the first pe?
riods of which two of the minerals in the comoosi
tion of granite appear to have united and formed a
bed. while the otner did not continue. The arrange?
ment was quarts first, tlBM aaica, forming the tirst
reck . mica slate next. clay slate formed in the same
wa>, ui on the mica. The peculiar properties of the
slate is its spliiting. which is ladopeja kUat of the
strata, and is believed to be a tendency toward crvs
talizition. astheo'de.-t beCs?thoss in Western Ma
rope?split bt st. In the ealcanoi s slate ihe minerals
ChlCfly abound. With it In California gold is found
in large quantities During the formation of the
mica stratum no s'gr.s of life appeared, but in the
clay, fossils show unmistakable signs of Its existence,
and as the crust became cold, und the surface ot the
water less in extent, the attUOSpheTS at', tine 1 a life
piefervu g purity. Animals m:1 le their appearance
first in the water. The coral insect, the first of
which we have any knowledge, secretes from the I
water carbonate of lime, and lorins those immense
reefs and bee's of coral which are the foun lation of
the Islands of the Pacific. Next we find an insect
called the sea-lily, an animal much resemblimr the
sta.-lish. 31any of the rocks about Niagara Falls
are formations made by this animal. 1'he third class,
called trilobites, resembles the crab or lobstor
species. This species was much higher in the scale
oi creation thim either of the others, but has now be?
come extinct. ?

WedBOaday night, Bt the New City Hall, to rather a
taia aadieaca Boom oae hundred gentlemen, we
presume of the legal profession, were in attendance,
and considering that fact, perhaps, the audience
was a Urge ore. The lecturer began by atymg that
the Common Law embracel, first, the principle of
Justice, and secondly, tie principle of Muni?
cipal Jurispiui.ei.ee, as forming the cradle of
our liberties even on thia soil. Alfred of
England is tbc founder of the Common Law.
It is nearly a thousand veers old. lie was an

considered not alone the founder of the Common

testimony to the genius, wiaJo.n, prudence and hero

wilt he said it was just Uta! England should con mue

so as to cuard ti t p. o; le a^a nv the encroa< ii'iierits
of himself and bis successors This principle is em?
bodied in the Trial by Jury, ti) th it lnstiiutoui the

gave to the people the right to elect theft own Jus?
