Vrscexxes, Ind., Dec. 10.—This city, so rich in historical reminiscences, undoubted- ‘ias many that have never found their way into print, and exist only in the memories of the “oldest inhabitant.” The writer not Jong since heard incidentally of one of these yeminiscences that took on the semblance of the legendary; and, as it concerns a man who, though then comparatively unknown, fs now of world-wide reputation, and as he jsnow prominently hefore the Chicago pub- Jie, Lundertook to trace the matter up for the purpose of laying it before your readers. ‘the hero of the story is none other than the justly celebrated. JOF JEFFERSON, who is this week delighting Chicago audi- “Maving learned that, thirty-five or forty years 2g0, Joe, then a mere lad, was here, with his father and his company, and that they met with disastrous troubles, nearly if not quite overwhelming them, I sought to fnd an “oldest inhabitant” whose memory was ancient enough to serve me. After such trouble I succeeded not only in finding aman with a suitable memory, but in secur- ing the very man who in the troubles of ‘the party stood by them and suecored them. It was afterafearful drive, over rough roads and through tlie cold, that I reached the home of “OLD JERRY DONAVEN,” ‘as he fs commonly called in this city. After tying my horse, I walked across a beautiful sward, vow covered with snow, to the farm- house, Which is pleasantly situated on the brow of ahi. Upon knocking at the door acheery “Come in!” was heard, whereupon J lifted the latch and entered. Mr. Dunraven advanced to greet me, and directed me toa seat by the great, blazing fire of wood in an old-fashioned fireplace, and which was ex- ceedingly welcome to my benumbed fingers andtoes. Mr. Donaven is a man SiYEARS OF AGE, over-sixfectin hight, and stands erect and straightasan arrow. Lis white hair gives himavenerable appearance, which is aug- * mented by his sightless eyes,—he having lost his sight some two years Since. The room was similar to the sitting-rooms of ordinary famn-houses, with here and there marks showing at some time a transition from “better days.” Having passed the compljments of the day, and being warmed throukh’ sufliciently to handle my per~il, I communicated to Mr. Donaven my object in thus visiting him. He atonce informed me that it would afford im great satisfaction to comply with my request, and thereupon summoned into the room Mrs. Hedekin, hisdaughter, the widow of Michael Hedekin, formerly a prominent citizen of Fort: Wayne, Ind. Mrs. Hedekin, informed of the object of my visit, brought into the room ai A LOT OF RELICS which had been kept in the family during inany intervening years as souvenirs of the old-time acquaintance. Of these I will Speak further on, As the former history of Mr. Donaven has Somewhat to do with the subject, I will digress long enough to mention that Mr. Dunaven, who formerly lived in Philadel- phia, was a relative of the Burkes, Jeffersons, and Warrens, who were representatives of the wealth, refinemant, and culture of that city at that time (1810 to 1820). He was, through this relationship, acquainted with nearly all the prominent men—ineluding aciors—of the country at that time. Joe Sr, and Warren, brothers- Inlaw, owned = and conducted the Philadelphia Theatre. Mr. Donaven in 1819 left that city and came West, settling in this sity the following year. Here he entered into business, and was, at the time of which Ashall now speak, a prosperous conmiission- merchant. Having furnished these prelimi- haries, I will now allow the old gentleman to PROCEED WITH His sToRY: “think, as near as I can recollect,” he taid, was in the year 184 when the Jefferson troupe, under _ the deaaership and management of Joe’s father, arrived in Vincennes, having traveled trom Louisville, Ky., or Evansville, ind.

Its Admirable Workings—Tho ‘Way in Which Business Is Expedited—A Com= pliment to Jpdge Hawes. ‘The Branch Criminal Court of Cook Coun- ty having been in operation a week yester- a Trivne reporter paid a visit yester- day to the leading officials of the Criminal Court in order to gain their opinion as to how the new experiment had already re- sulted, and what the prospect was of its fut- ure usefulness. The universalopinion was that the new court had fully demonstrated that it was needed, and that from the manner iii which it had, in its really semi-organ- ized condition, accelerated court ‘business during tho week, too sanguine expectations could hardly be formed of its future value as an adjunct to the original court. ‘When asked to give his opinionon the sub- ject, MM. MILLS SAID: “Of course, the great advantage arising from the Branch Court—so-called—is the rapidity of bringing men charged with crime towrial. The fact has been apparent for some years that a single Judge in’ the Crimi- nal Court, for sheer want of time, if for no other reason, could not dispose of the great criminal business of Cook County with wished-for celerity. In other States coun- ties of less magnitude have been provided with much greater facilities for the trial of misdemeanors and felonies. Now that Cook County has over 600,000 in- habitants, it is selt-evident that there should ' be increased facilities for disposing of crim- inal business. The prompt bringing of men to trial is manifestly an important factor in successful legal prosecutions. ‘The addition- al facilities furnished by the Branch Court will, of course, result inthe quick trial of persons indicted.” * How has the Branch Court done during the past week ?”” “it has just begun its work, and during the last few days been in the organizing stage. Ina few 's it will demonstrate its yalue to the public interests.” “From all I hear, J udge Hawes ‘seems to have made a very favorable impression 2” “Much business during the week just ended has been done before Judge Hawes, whose executive ability and judicial charac- teristics have received from the Bar expres- sions of great respect.” =, “What do you think the Court will accom- plish in the future?” “The establishing of the Branch Court was determined on, as I am infonned, by tho Judges of Cook County some months ago, and Ihaveno doubt but that it will verify their predictions of its advantages.” “ How long do you think it will take now to catch up with the business which has been kept back for want of facilities?” “I think that in three mouths—possibly tess, perhaps in thirty days—we shall be even With the criminal business of the coun- ty, and, this accomplished, there will be no reason why an indicted person should not have his trial within a week or two or the time of his indictment.” Clerk of the Criminal Court JACK STEPHENS said that the advantages secured by the new court could hardly be overestimated. The greatimprovement would, of course, be the rapidity with which cases would be brought to trial. the old way cases held over for u year or a year and a halt, and in the mean- time witnesses by various means were gotten out of the way by interested parties. They were offered good jobs out in the country, or by other inducements caused to absent them- selves from the trial, so that very frequently the bailing of the defendant meant the end of the case. This would not be the case now, as, after the accumulated criminal business had been disposed of, indicted persons would have to wait but a very short time for trial. Clerk Stephens said that the office work would be considerably increased through having the records of aradditional court to keep. fe could not tell yet whether it would be necessary to have any further ad tional help; they ought be able to do it all with their present staff of clerks, butit would keep all hands full of work. ir, John Doyle, Chief Deputy of. the Criminal Clerk’s office, who has been keep- ing the record of Judge Hawes’ Court dur- ing the week, said that the Branch Court had already exemplified its great usefulness. In the inain court during the week the time was oceupied for three days by the for two days by the aut calendar, and for half a day in the sen- tencing of prisoners, so that Judge Gary had not been able to do anything on the calen-- dar. ‘The work accomplished in the Branch Court, however, had kept up with the calen- dar, and on Monday the regular call for that day would be taken up. Upon that day the eases of John Murphy, indicted for mur- der, and Lesser Friedberg, for burglary, etc., —both important cases likely.to consume a couple of days each in trial—would be culled in the regular court, thusallowing the branch Court to keep up with the regular calendar. On the subject of Judge Hawes’ adaptatnl= ity to criminal business, Mr. Doyle said that during the past week he had disposed of the cases Defore him in a very able and business- like manner, and he looked forward to his proving a remarkably expeditious Judge. With the two courts going, he believed that the retarded business would very soon be brought up, and then the work ought to pro- ceed Without delay of any kind. ————2-——— . SAD CASE OF -AN ELEVATOR. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune, Carcaco, Dec. 11.—Some months betore rent- ing time last spring an immonse sign _ was to be seen at the entrance of a business block within gunshot of THE TxIBcNz office, announcing that an elegant passenger-clevator would be put in for the accommodation of the occupants of the building, and the offices went like hot cakes at the increased prico the elevator in- duce. Tho birth of the elevator was delayed until the patience of every occupant was well nigh exhausted, and until all became convinced the delay was in consequence of a search fora cheaper nurse. The elevator was finally born. Four doctors and five midwives were present upon the inter- esting occasion. They came without hope of reward. Knowing the parentage, they desired to view tho offspring. It might deterinine some doubt- ies. A moan_ from the newly-born an- ful theories. nounced its coming. It was neither beaventy nor earthly. it was a mongrol. Somo wise women suid that, with all our waiting, it had come before its time.

Every occupant showed great auxie- fy for the elevator. : in September it made another effort. It was as before. Old physicians suid that although it had always been weakly It would stilt manage to ray out .a miserable existence, if it could have 4 good nurse and proper medicine. The times were hard, and it was still loft to homeopathic medicine aud the girl of all work. Sometimes a Jew and sometimes a Gentile would have the thing in charge. Even enough gold water was uftentimes denied the bantling. itwasan innocent Hitte thing, and, although none loved it, atl pitied it. During tho pleas- ant 'S of Octobor it got out once more, but this was its Jast attempt. It was too much for it. Tt died. Puniness, frail- ty, and experiments killed it. “Every one in the household saw its death strugites, and knew it was dead, and wished ft a decent burial.

The Ventilation of the Reading-Room to Be Attended To, A regular mecting of the Board of Di- rectors of the Public Library was held yes- terday afternoon, President Onahan in the ir. There were present Messrs. Onahan, Hotz, Sprague, Walker, Allen, and Kadlec, Mr. Walker submitted a-list of books on behalf of the Library Committee, and it was ordered that they be purchased. On motion of Mr. Sprague, an appropria- tion of $500 was made to be used as a special book fund, which is placed in the hands of the Secretary to expend at book auctions, ete. . The Committee on Administration rec- ommended that another assistant be em- ployed, and the report was concurred in, Librarian Poole submitted the following interesting statistics regarding the circul: tion of books for home use during the pa: two weeks: Taken out, 15,433 volumes, a average of 1,221, against 11,746 volumes taken out during the same time last year, a daily average of 1,068, being an increase of 14.4 percent. For the month of November the following statistics were presented: Vis- itors, 21,231, against 15,280 in the same month. Just year, an increase of 39 per cent; period- icals issued, 13,340, against 9,885 in 1879, an increase of 26 per cent; books read in the reading-room, S14, against $02 in 1879, an in- crease of 170 per cent. In the refer- DEanwon ence department during the first two weeks the following statistics were shown: Visitors, - 778, aguinst 573 in 1879; books consulted, 3,256, aguinst 24UL last year, an increase of 37 per ¢ ‘The total number of books in the library v 72,721, and 4,999 volumes had been received since the publication of the last annual re- port, Mr. Sprague said he thought the Board should look into the charges made against the management of the reading-room in the columns of ‘Tue Trines r, Poole, the Librarian, said that the state of things had been exaggerated by the press. It was iin- possible to turn out many of the visitors of the reading-room, as it was a hard matter to ick out the loafers and tramps, ut he said that numbers were ejected by the janitor every day. It was im- possible, tvo, to ventilate the room properly, as many complained of the cold when the windows were lowered. After some discus- tee on Administration, with power to act, and the Librarian was authorized to procure Some patent ventilators and try them on the windows of the rooms, Afr. Walker stated that one of the substi- tutes had been working regularly for sume time past, and he wished that thé Board would take a Miss Kearney from the substi- tute lis fad place her among the regular employé: 1 support of his request he wished to read a _ letter Mayor Hurrison indorsing the young lady. Some objections were “made to the reading of the letter,on the ground that it was out of order, the time for the Teading of communications having passed; but the Chair ruled otherwise, and the letter ‘was read, after which it was referred to the Committee on Adininistration. ‘The question of dismissing some of the employés at 5 o’clock each day was brought up again, .A motion to that effect was lost -at the last meeting, and a motion was carried yesterday to recousider the vote. The mat- ter was then discussed at some length, and it was finally decided not to allow any of the force to leave at 5 o'clock, as it was feared such a rule would interfere with the pubiic service. . The Baard then adjourned until the Mon- day following Christmas-Day, as the regular meeting day tell on the holiday. ————____ HOW TO RELIEVE THE SUPREME COURT. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune, Cnicaao, Dec. 11.—“* How to ltelieve the Su- preme Court ” is the title of an editorial in this morning's Trinuve. In my judgment, it takes the true ground in saying that an increase of the number of Judges of the Supreme Court of the United States will neither relieve that Court nor expedite the business before it, But I think a mistaken view Is ‘presented in the statement that the Supreme Court of the United States has to pass upon a report of thecvidenccin all eases, “and in fact try the cuse de novo.” Lugree that in equity cases there fs practically anew trialin tne Supreme Court, but in cases atcommon law tho seventh amendment to the Constitution has provided that, * No fact tried by a jury shall bo otherwise reéxamined, in any Court of tho United States, than according tothe course of the common hiv.” At cuminon law, Courts have uniformly beid that the finding of a jury on questionsof fact is conclusive. The Supreme Court of the United States al- wuys refuse 10 hear argument upon questions of fact ou writs of error, aud though it often buppens that the whole testimony is incorpurat- ed into the bill of exceptions, yet the Court al- most always rebukes tue practice, and some- times severely, und will in no case examine the facts further than {s necessury to a currect un- derstanding of tho question of Juw presented on tho record. Indeed, it is a gross violuuion of the rules of court tosct out the evidence in extenso in,the bill of exceptions. Even when the parties waive a Jury and the case is tried by the Court, ita finding of the facts is uniformly held to bo conclusive on writ of error in the Supreme Court, so that, in cascs at common law, tne law and rules of practice of the Court are in exact accord with what the article suggests they ought to be. Ido not think, bowover, thatlimiting the right of appeal to the Supreme Court {3 the remedy which ought tobe applied. Even now, when the ammount in controversy must execed 35,000 to enable a party to appeal or bring 2 writ of er- ror, suitors are oftentimes subjected to great hardships, It hardly scems just to give to one min the -unrestrained power to deter- mine finally the rights of parties where so large sum 8 $5,000 is in controversy; but to Increuse the power by limiting the right ‘of appeal to cases where the amount Is still larger 1s but to inereaso the cases where injuries muy be in- flicted on litigunts by the error committed by a singic Judge who cannot be convinced of his error. I would suggest that a remedy might be pro- vided which would secure to suitors a review and reéxamination of the judgments of the Cir- cuit Courts, and attho saine time relieve tho Supreme Court, witbout increasing the number of Judges of the Federal Courts, until it shall be rendered .actually necessary by the accumula- tion of business in thei. Intermediate Appellate Courts might be cre- ated by Congress iu every circuit, the Judges of which should be the Justice of the Supreme Court assigned to the circuit, the Circuit Judge and tho District Judges within the circuit, or the territorial jurisdiction might ‘cO- extensive with “the territory ussigned to the Justice of the Supreme Court, in which case, the Justice . and the several Circuit Judges within the district might be the Judges. Theso Appellate Courts should have appellate jurisdiction of all cases decided in any Federal Court witbin the district, and appeals and writs of error be alowed from them to the Supreme. Court only in certain cases, to be provided for in tho statute. I have no doubt some such measure would relieve the Supreme Court, and enable the Judges to dispose of all the cases that would be tuken there in each term. And I know that the Circuit Court presided over by a single Judge would not be so much imperium in imperio in cases tried before it as now, and there would be secured to suitors the privilege of having their judgments re- viewed, and their errors corrected by another from tribunal, which is now denied them in so large a number of cases. ‘There is another matter of great consequence which Ithink should arrest the attention of sion, the matter was referred to the Commit-. Congress. Now the District Judgo ig only ex ollicio Judge of the Cireult Court inn own district. Ho cannot hold court . in any other district unless calied there by tip Cirenit Judge. Congress might provide by law ehat the several District Judges should be ex-allicio Judges of the Circuit Court forthe dreuit in which their district ig. ond should hola tee Sit cuit Court in every such district; providing at tho same time for payment of the exponses in- curred. by reason of bis going out of his own district. In this way Judzes having but’ little to do at boine would be ompioyed in the dispoul- hon of nll the business of the circult, and cuuses would not be likely to accumulate so largety in any district as fs oftentimes the case now. These are only general suyrestiong thrown out, tho details of which would, of course, be embodied in the stutute, and I hope our Repro- sentatives and Senntors will examine the sub- ject and bring tho matter to’ the attention of Congress.

Tribune, AMrs. Mayers, of Morgan County, relates the following story: One day at an old- fashioned country quilting, the mountain boys and girls were playing some game like “snap.” Miss Maria Peelers was being chased around the-room by Jarkin Suby, her ardent admirer, She gave a. scream sud- denly, and began to examine the sole of her foot, which—as is the custom in that region— was shod in Nature’s own morocco, It was found that she had stepped on a needle that had fallen by acciderit upon the floor. As there was seven or eight inches of black patent thread hanging trom the eye of the needle, Jarkin insisted on pulling it out, but Maria screamed at the bare mention of the thing. She would not suffer any one to touch the string. So Jarkin took her up behind him on his horse and took her home to the old folks, intending by the assistance of the old man to prevail upon her to jet the neeale be pulled out. Lo! when they had made the trip, there was no thread. visible, and it was thought that as Maria’s feet had dangled along that it had caught on abush and pulled out. Al parties were in despair. Maria was considerably frightened, but only complained of a dreadful stitch in her leg. Jarkin went home, after vainly straining his own eyes to find that of the needle, leaving Maria, as she said, to let the thing heal and work out, ‘The next day Jar- kin called on Maria to see if the place had begun to fester, but strauge to say the hole— where the needle had entered—was scarcely visible, and Maria was comp! jing of only a little stitch in her knee and was in such good. spirits as to place Jarkin in ecstacies, From day to day the visits continued and Maria and Jarkin had forgotten all about the needle. Maria now and then complained to her mother of a peculiar stiteh in ditferent localities, but_went cheerfully about her work, When Jarkin called in the longeven- ings it was evident that he sat very close to Maria, and while that silent €estacy spoken of in novels would steal over them they would forget all about everything but their own little heaven, until a secular snore from one of the old people in the back part ‘of the room would cause them to stit. ‘This thing con- tinued until one night, after they had been together longer and closer than usual. Jarkin removed his arm and sighed that he must go. As he went to rise he masped from a sharp stitch in his side next to Maria. Maria edged spasmodically toward Jarkin, catching a short breath and holding to him convulsively. Jar- kin felt an indescribable pain in the effort to part. Maria hung to him with ejaculations no more tender than indicative of great physical pain. Finally they clung to each other in wild alarm, Each exclaimed: “ What's the matter! O! Maria! O! Jar— Jar—Jar—kin!? The old folks awoke and struck asight in great trepidation. Seeing the couple clinging to cach other, the ol gentleman insisted upon immediate separa- tion, but Maria screamed, “Ile ean’t; O, he can’t?” Jarkin was in too much inysticism to solye the question, and all the old folks did in their vain efforts to separate them was to elicit gf eat cries of agony, After many ineéficctual attempts the thing was given up. As both parties seemed to be in the extremest mental and physical anguish, a doctor was sent for, and, after many weary hours, arrived. Upon investigation he found a short, black patent-thread running from Maria’s side to Jarkin’s side. A new light broke over Maria's face at the revela- tion, while all the others were thrown into the ‘deepest conjecture. Upon signifying that she could at last solve the riddle, the parties waited breathlesly to hear. “It’s ‘that needle”? “What needle, Maria?” “Why, hits been workin’ all tis time; that needie I tramped on at the quiltin’.”’ The mystery was solved; the thread had not pulled out on the way home, but as the needie had worked in out of sight the thread |, had followed. It had continued its course about Maria’s members, and now all those inexplicable pains, which had for'six months disturbed her, were accounted for; and Jar- kin had been so persistent und so close in his attentions that the needle had, imperceptibly, in a protracted sitting of the two, worked out of Maria into him, and, as ‘it were, stitched them together.

Having read several accounts purporting to tell how the writers had been beautified by paiut and cosmetics in professional hands, I wondered whether it was really a ract that a Wouran’s face could be so deftly “made up”” as to defy detection. ‘Ihere was only one way to test the question, and that was to sub- mit myself personally to treatment. So 1 went to the foremost “beautifying bazaar” in the city, the one about which I had heard the most praise, ‘and ‘soon found myself in a small private room, seated in s0mething like a barber’s chair before a mirror, with a fe- male operator. She began by making me take off the waist of my dress, and then she enveloped-me in a loose muslin wrapper, ext she shampooed my hair thoroughly, and that felt cool and good. ‘Then she dried it with a sponge, brushed it up from my neck and forehead, and dressed It after the fashion of the period, using 2 great deal of sticky bandoling She went from my hair to my eyes, bathing them with a liquid which probably had belladonna in it, for it enlarged the pupils and imparted a brill: fancy. The next operation was to pull out a stray hair here and there, on my neck, arms, and shoulders, with a pair of tweezers. ‘Then she washed mv face with a pale, rose-colored commetie, which dried rapidly, while she rubbed if witha soft sponge. With a rab- bit’s foot, such as is used by actors, she put a higher tint on my cheeks, and same bright rouge on my lips and nostri With a brush she blackened my eyebrows, lashes, and un- derneath my eyes. ‘I'he veins on my temples were delicately traced with light blue; and, finally, 1 was dabbled with “powde ‘he operation was just what I had expected, and I paid $5 for it’ Iwas also invited to buy the various things which the undeniably skillful woman had used on me. Well, my verdict on the result is simply th’ No woman can puint without detection. De- votees of fashion may just.as well abandon the contrary opinion. I ‘looked into the mirror on getting out ot the chair, and hardly recog- nized myself. Aly face was greatly changed. Aly eyes shone, my cheeks glowed, and there was a brightness and _piquancy that had not been there when Lentered. But this, mind you, was in a somewhat dimly-lighted room, Where the work was softened and shaded. Ten minutes afterward I met myself ina street-mirror, under the full glare of a noon- day sun. Well, I was simply disgusted. The painted surface looked no more like human skin than it did like sole-leather; the black around my-eyes was like strokes of charcoal; my lips had the unnatural red of scarlet ink, I walked up to the glass and viewed my arti- ficial countenance witha feeling of repulsion. It reminded me of some execrable portrait done in water colors. I hurried into a store and bought veil, with which I covered the beautification. Then I went straightway home, and scrubbed my face until every trace of foreign substance was gone. My experi- ence convinced ine of the utter folly of paint as a beautifier, for by no possibility can it be put on without showing exactly what it is. Dry powder, and mightly little of that, is ali that I advise any woman‘to put on herface. If nature has not imparted beauty of com- plexion, there isno use trying to make up the deficiency by artifice. It is far better to turn our ingenuity toward wearing our hair becomingly, for i that direction a great deal of comeliness may be commanded. But let pigments alone, unless you are content to be pretty in_a ghastly kind of way, and at the sacrifice of all outward indications of warm flesh and blood. PROOF AGAINST ALL TEMPTATION, Lowell Courier. Dramatis persone: 4 good young man; three evil-minded gamblers; a clergyman, with his wifeand daughter, traveling for bronchitis. Scene—A Pullman car on the overland trip to California; gamblers play- ing poker; young man reading his “ Travel- ers’ Guide’; preacher looking on. First Rambler: “ Young man, will you join us ina friendly~game_of cards?” “Young man: “Thank you, I never play cards.” Second gambler: ‘* Young man, will you takea nip?” (passes him thetlask). Young man: * ‘Thank you, I never drink.” Third gambler: “Young man, will you havea weed 2” (ex- tending his cigar case). Young man: “Thank you, I_never smoke.” Clergyman: “Young man, I have watched your couduct with great pleasure. I have seen you refuse to gamble, drink, and smoke. 1 should be glad if you would go into the next car and allow me to introduce you to my daughter.” Young man: “Thank you, I never marry.” FEMININE NOTES. | Old maids are described as “embers from which the sparks have fled.” What is home without a majolica butter- dish and a gilt dado on the dining-room? An old lady who has several unmarried daughters feeds them on fish diet, because it is rich in phosphorus, and phosphorus is the essential thing in making matches. Mrs. Mountjoy, who was reproached for her lack of sentiment, replied: ‘How cana woinan have any sentiment whose husband goes to bed six nights out of the seven with his boots on?” “Which do you like best, your father or your mother?” inquired a visitor of little chubpy-fist. “*O, I like ma the best. She spanks me with the soft side of her hand; pa takes a shingle.” : Girls, if there is one thing more than an- other that holds the young -men of. our day back from matrimonial yentures, it is the dis- heartening spectacle so often presented them of your own dear papa and mamma walking into church glorified respectively by a $12 ulster and-a $30 bonnet. That’s what scarces the boys.—Burdettc. A lady with a fatal. squint came once toa fashionable artist for her portrait. He looked at her, and she looked at him, and both were embarrassed. He spoke first. “Would your ladyship permit me,” he said, “to take the profile? There is a certain shyness about your Iadyship’s eyes which is as difticultin artas itis fascinating in na- ture.” Acynical clergyman of middle age, after having united a loving couple in the holy bonds of matrimony, was asked by some one present at the marriage feast how he, a bachelor, could consistently engage in such ceremonies, The good man’s answer was significant: ‘In a man’s life there are two periods when he is likely to marry,—one when he is youngand has no sense, the other when he is old and lost his sense.” He was glad to inform them that he was past one, and had not yet reached the other. in Philadelphia two ladies met_on the street, and one said to the other: “ Why, you look very happy this morning; what's hap- pened?” “QO Pve just been up having my tortune told,” was the reply, ‘‘ and the wom- an says I’m to marry twice more, have dia- monds and a camel’s-hair shawl, and that I can go to the opera six nights in a week it I want to.” ‘Dear me! I don’t wonder that you are happy. But you won’t say anything to your husband ”” “O of course not! Poor man! he’s good to me, and it might hurt his feelings to know that 1 am going to marry more, I think J’H tell bim that I’m likely to die first.” ——<—<—<—————$—$_— Interviewing John Kelly. John Kelly, the New York Democratic boss, has had some yery funny experiences in his day, and no small share of these bave been con- nected with his two newspapers, both daily. To own or control an organ is the hizht of the am- bition of many poiiticians. Whije to have two pupers subject to his beck and call has its ad- vuntages, it also involves a double share of attention and annoyance, In connection with Mr. Kelly and his papers I will ‘relate au incident which came under my own observation a coupic of years or more azo. Late one night, atter the morning papers Had one to press, a rumor got down to Fark Row tothe effect that Bir. Kelly, then as now Con- troller, bad defaulted in a very large sum and Hed the city. This canard reached the long ears of two Star reporters, who, with the enlm con- sclousness of duty done. were indulging in: liquid refresnments at a contiguous saloon. lere was un opportunity for a display of en- terprise that could not be allowed to pass unim- Proved. So these two young gentlemen went up-town to Mr. Kelly’s Fifth avenue residence about 5 o'clock In the morning, and, after a great deal of trouble and some deluy, found themselves in the presence of tho gentleman, who was in trousers, robe de ouit and a state of general deshabille and consternation. Surely nothing short of the burning of the Star build- could account for sucha visit at such an epeortnly hour. Well, what was the matter? What did they want? Aghust at fuding them- selves face ‘to face with the man thoy did not expect to: see, thero was a moment's hesitation. At Jase the leader mustered up courage to stam- mer: USo. you haven't fied the city?” a Fled? Fied from what?—for what?’ Why, the fact is, Mr. Kelly, thore was a story down-town tonlant that you had become a de- faulter, and had fied to escape arrest. Wo Prought if it was true the Star ought to know it Mr. Kelly couldn't find words for a moment. Finally ho askew: ** Who sent you—Mr. Sandison or the city editor? Who ordered you to ask these questions?” “O no one sent us! We just thought we'd like to look it up ourselves. One part of the rumor hus proved false. Butisittrue that your ac- counts are crooked?" For one instant there was dense silence. It Was broken by the sudden slamming of the door in the faces of the enterprising Stur reporters at tho critical moment when Bir. Kelly’s reply was taking a form of expression not familiar to theological seminaries. The reporters returned down-town with an uncomfortable conscious- ness that they had somehow or other mado colossal—not to say calamitous—asses of them- selves by calling the proprietor of the paper on which thoy themselves were working out of his ‘bed before daylight to ask him if ne was athicf! ‘Thoir worst fears were realized when Sir. Kelly put in an appearance at the Stargpffice early next day demanding In a manner t) he mude no effort to conceal! his annoyance: “ Who were those d—d fools who called me up at 5 o'clock {hls morning to interview me as to whethor I ad Deen stealing from the City Treasury?" ‘The names of the culprits were unearthed and given him. was the only order in connec- don aera fon wit! matter. And they were “fired.” This ts tho first time thi 1 felt tee ae dh ig story has ever found DEATH OF SR ALEX. COCKBURN. a aes The British Lora Chief-Justice—A Sketch of Min Life. London Times. Nov, 2. The most brilliant of the Lords Chief-Jus- tices‘has suddenly passed trom among us. Sir Alexander Cockburn died: ate on Satur- day night, after what was littlé more than a momentary flutter of parting life. We are, indeed, now told that his physicims knew that his health was fatally undernined, a warning that came at the beginning cf the Long Vacation having been a presage otthe approaching end, but the’ secret was kept with all the tenacity of professional honor, and the bearing of the Lord Chief-Justice in the Courts, in the discharge of the busi- ness_of his exalted office, did not betray any failure of power. Ile sat, indeed, In the Court of Crown Cases Reserved on Saturday afternoon, only afew hours before he was taken away. He had attained his 78th year, but those who watched him thought he gave promise of being another octogenarian Judge. Now and then he withdrew trom the Bench for a day ur 2 couple of days, but fur many years he had not unfrequently, under the pressure of temporary ailments, escaped from duties that must often be tedious and burdensome to those who are no Jonger young. Certainly these occasional absences gave the friends of the Lerd Chief Justice no uneasiness. They were not displeased to see he had at length escaped from an error, a pleasing error, to which le was once subject, of acting as if he was a quarter of a century younger than his years, They were delighted to find that he took a proper care of himself, especially as he continued to the last_to demonstrate an avidity for hard work. No one ever showed more zeal in presiding over the conduct of a case, Whether it was before a jury at Nisi Prius or involved an elaborate ‘argument in a Divisional or Appeal Court; and it may be said that his relaxations were of a strenuous kind. When the Assizes were over, early in August, he betook himself to his yacht, but he did not abandon work even atsea. Dur- ing this last autumn he. amused himself by the composition of some articles on the Laws of the Chase, in which the learning of the sportsman and of the Judge were equally conspicuous. Sir Alexander Cockburn had been so long a Judge that there are mayy who are unable to remember him either as an advocate or as a politician. It is four-and-twenty years since he accepted the vost_of Lord Chief Justice of Common Pleas. For more than twenty- one years he has presided in’ the Queen’s Bench. With two exceptions no one has been Chief of the Queen’s Bench so long. SirAlexander Cockburn was aconsummate advocate, and the qualities that excited the highest admiration for him as a Judge were recisely the same qualities that had made him so conspicuous as an advocate. With great readiness and firmness in the grasp of the leading facts of a case, it might be said of him, as it was of another emi- nent Judge, that his statement was better than another man’s argument. with a most copious vocabulary, a pictureque and vivid diction, and gifted with a voice flexible, rich, and musical to ap extraordinary degree, the Lord Chief Justice fascinated his hearers from the bench as Mr. Cockburn had fasein- ated them from the floor of the Court. And it may be noted that the expluits with which his name will be longest and most intimately connected were all displays of an_ ability mainly forensic. ‘The speech by which he first altracted attention in Parliament, ust thirty years ago, in the debate on Lord Pulmerston’s foreign policy in connection with the affair of Don Pacifico, was a most brilliant and powerful speech of an advocate trained in all the best traditions and armed with all the living forcesof advocacy. Asan arbitrator in the Alabama case at Geneva, his honest indignation at the injustice that was done by some to the motives and conduct of the Goverment gf lis country almost led him toforget the nettrality of a judge in the ardor of his defense of his native Jand. He himself felt that he had wandered a little trom the immediate duties of his oflice, and he vindicated the divergence. No display eould have been more characteristic. ‘The warinth and generosity-of his temper and the elevation of his moral judgment were con- spicuousin this vindicanon. Sir Alexander Cockburn was never a denizen itr Bohemia, but his eminent social graces and warmth of temperament must have made him acquainted at onetime wita many of its inhabitants, and itis easy to undetsiand how a and quick-glancing world may have thou; i to be one of them. tis election to Parlia- ment determined forever the course of his life. 1t was there that he found aims to call forth all his powers, and an unrivaled ficid to make them conspicuous. His eareer thenceforth became a fe and grow- ing success. The more he became known the more he was admired and the more he was loved. Such faults as he had were seen to be amiable, for they were the shadows of his virtues, As years went by he began to be regarded as the survivor of the exceilen- cies of a world that is passing or ‘has passed away.’ His brilliant rhetoric belonged to a school left without scholars in the midst of aslovenly generation. The ardor of his tem- perament appeared strange to men whose chief care is to deny or conceal their feelings. His manifold and manifest accomplishments were-a reproach to the common negligence of social life. Yet it is evident that much of our studied roughness must be affectation, or Sir Alexander Cockburn would not have been so much admired, and would not, dying, have left us to regret the loss of so many gracious gifts and faculties. a Jo Brown on Bob Toombs’ Position. During a recent speech ut Augusta, Ga. United States Senator-clect Brown twld, amid great applause, this story to illustrate the pres- ent position of the irreconcilable Gen. Robert Toombs: “The course tuken by Gen. Toombs aitice the War is very well illustrated by the story of the old gentleman in one of the counties be- tween here und the Savannah River. He and bis old lady started in the buggy to visit some friends, and on the way hud to cross a river. In going down Into the Hat one of the straps broke and the buggy ran upon the heels of tho horse, and be kicked bimself toose und ran back home. The good old lady, who believed in the pohcy of reconstructing, gathered up the frugments of the harness and started for home. The old man refused to go, but satdown on the river bank and began cursing. The old lady, however, car- ried the pieces home, aud got awl and an ‘end, as thoy call it, and began repuiring the harness. And, ‘finding the hurse nt home, she told the servant totuke him and go down to the river and meet the old inan and bring nim home. After an absence of an hour or so the servant returned, and she asked, where fg the old man? nd he said he wouldn't come. Then sho sald: * What is he doing?” The servant suid: ‘He is still sittin’ down on the river bank, cussin’.’ —<$<$<$————$__— ‘The Chinese and Indians speak most favor- ably of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup.
