The caso of Eunice E. Walker vs. D, A. Den- ison, one of the recent batch of Bupreme Court declslons, Involved a discussion of the power of a principal to revoke hin ut's power whers ha had expressly sgrecd it _should be frre- vocable for twd years. It scema that one W, M. Pesse, In 1807, made J. D. Walker bls agent for tha sale of a patent right, aad agrecd not to revoke this agency for two years, ‘vSnlker was to divide the net profits of his sales equally with Peasc. * In the course of his busi- ness Walker hought of Denisou certaln real es- tate, paying for it partly in moncy and partly by the conveyance of the right to use Peasc’s patent in the Stats of Ohlo. ~ HBefore the salo was m&leud Peasc sold all his interest In the patent, thus rovoking Walker's agency. Denls son then sued to recover back the land, Walkar ' not being able to make conveyance of thc patent rizht, oo the ground of failure of con- aideration. He obtsined Ju:lfiment, from which Whalker's wife, he having died In the meantime, took an appeal. 8ba contended the agency was frrevocable becanse 1t was coupled with an In- tereat, and was given for a consideration. . The SBupreme Court sald the general rale was that 8 principal micht revoke his agent's au- thority at lis pleasure, and the present caso did not come within any of the exceptions. Walker only bad an intereat in the execution ot the power, not I the thing fteclf, and such an agency waa ravocable, or was the sgency wiven” for such a consideration or sccarity ns rendered ft irrevocable. Jt was a beneflt to Walker, no doubt, but that was not snfficient, Watker hat a completo remedy at law for nuy damage by actlon _on tha covenaut {n the con- tract of agency. ‘The safe to Denison was after Walker kuew of the traosfer of the patent b Peasc, and was not made fo good faith. Denl- son's purchaae fafled for want of consideration, and the Court below did right In awarding a re- conveyance. The decision was affirmed. A MARRIED WOSMAN'S RIGNTS. In the case of Laura J, Runyon vs. M., N, Kimball, the Tmunn was rafsed whether tho fact thiat appellant wns owner of certain prop- erty which was sucd under foreclosure, and waa & married woman before the act of 1801, relation to @ marricd woman's sepurato prop- erty, was parsed, and that her husband wns stifl living, prevent the bar of tho statute of 1861, ‘The bill was to rocover this land, which had been sold nnder forcclosure, beeause she did not acknowledre the mortgage. The Su- Fm“ Court sall the carly decislons were in avor of tho rula that tho statuto was not o har 10 lier nctlon, but_the later ones wero to tho op- posite cffcet, Hor busband’s interest had been barred b{ tlo foreclusuro, and there was no hindrance to her asserting her right. Ier silence for over ten {‘enn was fatal, and the decree of the Court below against her would be aflirmed.

P, Smith, Jr. Two Lills were filed, one to ect aside certain conveyances of real estato to Smith which had ance belonged to Iliram Joy, the other to ostablish an alleged trust as ogalnst Swmnith by reason of cerialn profits alleged to have belonged to Joy, nrisiug frum the Ice business, In which he had been en- gaged, and which had been carried on for two years after his fallure by Bmith and Honr: ‘uller. ‘The land in controversy was Smith's rronerty.

Ucoxomowoc, Wis., Jan. 23.—One of the most brilliant and clegant assomblles that has ever been witnesacd In the vicinity of Oconomo- woc—that most delightful region of Wisconsin —was brought out last night on tho occasion of the tweffLy-fitth anniversary of the marriage of Capt. and Mrs. Thomos L. Parker, the farmer and well-known citizen and capltalist, formerly of Chicago, where his business Interests aro still centered. About thres years sgo he came to Wisconsin and purchased a larzo tract of 1and upon the banks of the Leautiful Lake of Oconomowoc. Bince then he has devoted his entire time to beautifying his premises, until now there cannot be found a fluer country scat gnwlawcr Wisconsin, if thero can be in the 0. ‘The mansion itself s a palace, and was bullt, as the large-henrted sea-captaln has sald, mainly for tho purpnse of entertaining his hosts of friends, and verv many of them have thus far availed thomselves of hils gonerous invitations o spend davs under his hospitable roof,—days that have been among thc happiest of their lives, In the summer senson a graceful ateam- yacht lics at the little pier in front of the house, and almost daily partles are made up from distayee, and come to enjoy o moonlight or starlight sall. ilorses, carriages, servants, and an abundance of good cheer await tho pleasure of all guests at this plave, and all go awsy with the conviction that life Is & pleasurc under some circumstances, ‘The gatnering last cvening comprised some of tho wealthicst and must aristocratic peovle, not only of Wisconsin, but of Chicago and its suburbs. The decorations of the ;m’lum din. ing-room, ete., were furnished by Sheppard, of Chleago, and were most alzborate. About 150 invitations were fssued, and nearly all were ac- cepted, so that even with the immense capacity of the houso evergbody was ‘¢ comfortably crowded.” > The gudsts began to arrive from a distance carly in the afternoon, and frow that time to 9 v'clock there was almost a continuous stream, Each and cvery ono was cordlally welcomed by thig happy bride and groom. Mrs. Parker woren Princesee dress of pink gros-grain silk, trimmed with point-applique lace, and dinmond chulry. ‘The tollets of the ladlcs were rich aod tasty In the extreme. At 0 o'clock dancing commenced in the largo hall, set nside for that ‘runmc in the upper portion of the house, and thither the joyous throng wended its way, while a noted Mitwau- kea band discoursed the sweatest of musle. At 11 o'clock supper was aunounced, and upon en- tering the spacious dinfng-room it scemed os though Eckarde had outdone himself. Never before werw tablos secn that showed off to a better advantage, and they would well be worth a more extended description if space would per- mit. Suflice it to say that sovernl of the caterer's cooks, waiters, ete., were {mported to this place from Chicago a week ngo, and were ordered to do their very best. A toast was vropusel by e, J. "B. Bell, with tho scntiment that Capt. and Mrs, Parker mtght livo to celebrate their golden wedding In the samo_pleasing manncr, which was happily re- sponded to by Mr, George F. Balley, of Chica- fiu. and the wine-glasscs of all the ‘gucsts wers radned with thelr hearty sympathy. After sup- per danclug was resuined, and there wera those of tho merry-mnkers who did not shut their eyca In sleep that uleht, Alt.lmclfln Capt. and Mrs, Parker especlally stipulated In their invitations that goYrescuts were expected from their {rlends and guests, many broke the commaond and brought rare giftd in allver, Prominent aumong these was to - be neon the.iilt of the groon to the ).vrltll.-I cole : oisting of o set of solid silverwara of thisty- nine pleces, nclosed in o rich and oxpensive case. ‘T'o nccommodate the many guests from Chi. eago, a snecial slecpine-car wus chartered, which wus attached to the 10 o'clock train of tho Chi- cago, Milwaukee & St. Puul Road Thursday, to return to the city at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Among the passengers on this car wero Mra. E, B, Elphicko, mother of the bride; Mr, and Mra. . E. Lecch, Mr, and Mrs, John 8. Hair, Mr, and Mra, Jamos Hair, Mra, A, Mackie, Mr. and M, C.

At Milwaikeo faner was found walting, which was partaken of by the hungry guests. It had been ordered by the thoughful'host, Afteradelay of twenty- flvo ninutea the train was again boarded and the merry party sped away to Capt. Parkes's thirty miles distant, whero "all arrived in g spirits at about 8 o'clock, and wers cordlally welcomed by the host and hostess, Tho apocial car was switched off upon a skle-track, where 1t was 16t standing, very near tho house, until ny. ‘Thero were present from Oconomowoe and Nashotah, Mavor und Mra.
