A restanrateur of Brooklyn lately had for aguest Cliang, the Chinese giant. ASun reporter happened to dine at the restaurant several evenings ago, and had Chane for a neighbor. A little natural curi- osity led him to note the bill of fare of the giant. First Chang ordered oysters, raw, on the shell;snext, steamed oysters on toast; thes zreen turtle and printaniere soups, and, after that, fish, including broiled shad, filet de sole, sauce tartare, and boiled salmon with lobster sauce. . The reporter thought Chang would stop there, but the giant politely signified to the attendant that e was waiting for. the next article on his written bill. So'he had for his entrés turkey wings, jardiniére, and chicken croquets and tomato sauce. Then : RE ATTACKED WITH 6510 roast ribs of beef and half a chicken stuffed, weompanied by fried parsnips, sugar-corn, and boiled onions. He appeared to be weary atthis point, and mildly asked for a small plateof plum pudding, a piece of apple pie, anda little icecream, to which he subse- quently added a small cup of café noir. The proprietor was noticed ruminating ina quiet corner and apparently speculating as Io the advisability of an cariy assignment for the beuefit of his creditors. To'k question by the reporter as to Chang’s wonderful ap- pe‘file, he replied with an earnest sigh : Dov't speak of it; wmy gracious! 1 never bad such an experience. When Capt.

THE LADY A WITNESS IN A SUIT BROUGHT AQAINST THE SHERIFF—UNGALLANT ‘IN- Mr. George L. Hooper, the former proprie- tor ut;z drug-store at No. 102 Sixthavenue, sold his store in June last to Mr. Clarence V. Bigelow, whio for several years had been his clerk. The latter was to pay $10,000 for the store, and, afer deducting $2,072 which Ilooper owed him on agcount of salary as clerk, gave: his notes for the balance, and en- tered into possession of the store. Shortly after this Sheriff Bawe, under an execution against Hooper in favor of some Buston creditors, levied on the goods in the store. Meantime Nooper had distributed awong his New York -creditors the notes he had received from Bigelow, which were promptly paid as they matured. Bigelow, under the circumstances, did ot relish having his guods in his store levied upon, and accordingly brought suit against the Sheriff to recover posses- sion of the property thus levied on. At the trial yesterda$, before Judge Van Brunt, of the Court of Common Pleas, Mr. Stephen H. Fullerton appeared for the plaintif and Henry E. Knox and others for the Sheriff. THE FEATCRE OF INTEREST in the proceedinus was placing on the witness stand a lady giving her name as Mrs. Wal- lingford. She was stylishly dressed, and was altogether a woman of genteel ap- pearance. “My mother was a sister of Andrew John- son, lae President of the United States,” the witness answered in reply to a question asked by the defendant’s counsel. This annouhce- ment of herso inuvedinte connection yith the late President Johnson at once infused a new element in the case, which served to lift it from the level of dull apathy previously characterizing the court proceedings. only the jury turned their eyes with inqui torial sharpuess upon the distinguished ness, but the Judze leaned forward, so as to cateh with wore certainty the purport of her testimony. - *When did you become acquainted iwith M. ‘lllx’voner‘." was among the questions her. 1 April, 1560, she answered.

In her further direct testimony she stated that shortly after her acquaint- ance with Mr. Houper he’proposed_putting the store in her name, which proposition, however, she refused to accept. During this time, and for several mouths after, she said she et Mr. looper at various hotels and private boarding-houses in this city where she was bearding; that he called on ler, in fact, almost daily, and that during 1his period she loaned him some $1,500. She added that on one oceasion Mr. looper, in the presence of Mr. Bigelow and herself and another lady, again insisted on her taking possession of the store in her name, and that AMr. Bigelow did not claim at that time to boe the owner of the store. She said that this touk place on the evening of July 1, 1880, at the store. As to this last statement, how- ever, it was conclusively shown that Mr. Big- elow was not in the city at the time and that no such conversation as that stated ever tovk place in his presence. “*HOW OLD ARE YOU?” was the first question asked the witness by 3Mr. Fullerton on cross-examination. Twenty-nine” (a general swile). When were you born 2" In 18527 i * Were You ever married 2? *Ihave been married four times” (a more pronuunced}enemLsmxle). In the courpe of answers to other questions the witness give the nawes of her four hus- bands, as respectively Mr. Coliins, Mr. Tit- fany, Mr. Wallingford, and Mr. Redneifer, stating that the last-pamed gentleman was her last husband, She said she had procured indictments against Mr. Redheifer, and ad- mitted having been arrested-in Philadelpbia and tried for libel. Extracts from various papers were_in pos- session of the plaintiffs counsel, although ‘not produced in evidence, giving accounts of her sojourns in~various leading cities of the country.

Y Boston Courier. Turning over the pages of a vellum-bound volume just acquired at a book aunction, half- way down a dingy page L saw the story of Conrad 1L, Ewperor of Germany, who in |, the year 1027 gave to a gentleman who had lost a leg in his service **as many pieces ofe gold as could be crowdedginto. the boot of the severed limb; saying that this present was to enable the sufferer to have his wound properly dressed.” The incident turned my thoughts upon the odd uses to which boots have been put as re- corded in history. The Rabbins have a tradition that before the fall Adam and Eve were encased in a hard; rosy, shell-like skin, which, after their doletul expulsion from Paradise, beeame tender and sensitive as it is with their chil- dren to-day; only on the tips of the fingers and toes did the skin remain in its original state as a token of what it had been, With this tough cuticle our first parents my have statked about barctooted with comfort, but their children were reduced to_ straits enough to protect their tender soles from the rround until some ingenious wixht discov- ered that *‘to him whose feet are shod the whole earth is covered with leather.” Boots are said to have been invented by the Carions somewhere in the dim past, and to have been made of iron, brass, and leather. Iomer mentions leather boots wmong the Greeks in 907 B. C., and undoubtedly they were coumon among the ancients,at a much earlier date. = In the'minth chapter of Joshua is recorded the ingenious stratagem of the Gibeonites Dy which they outained a league with the I5raelites, *They did work wilily, and went and.made as if they had been embassadors, and ook old sacks, and old shoes and elouted upon their feet, and old garments upon themn, and went to Joshua unto the camp at Gilzal, ana said unto im: “We be come from a farcountry; now therefore make ye a league with us.”” The cratty Gibeonites succeeded in obtaining their reqluesr. but their trickery being afterward discovered they were condeined to a perpetual bond- 1t was perhaps from this passaze of Seript- ure that the Romans were inspired to a simi- lar ruse. 1n A. D., the City of Luna, Capital of Lunigiane, situated between Tus- cany and Ligurin, was destroyed by the Northtnen. According to an Icelandic saga, the conquerers were the descendents of the redoubtable Regnor Ludbrock, author of the remarkably emphatic death song. of which each stanzi opens with a declaration that the author will smile when le dies; and from this fierce pagan they prob: ny inherited their fiereeness _and valor. ravaged Lunigiane, the Vikines determined to sack Rome also, but were prevented by some Ro- -man travelers, who showed to the invaders their shoes completely worn out, decluring that they were new at “their departure from the Eternal City. 'The Norsemen were thus convineed that the distance from Luna to Rome must be prodigious, and accordingly renounced their design, . Stepping over a few centuries we come to the days of thebrilliant Don” John of Aus- tria, tho son of the Emperor Charles V., and half-brother of the fanatical Philip 1L of Spain. After chivalric adventures in _cam- paigns against Moors, Turks, and heretics of all sorts, he left <his semi-regal throne as Commander in_the Netherlunds against William the Silent, to die suddenly and mysteriously in his_intienched camp at Namur. on Oct. 1, 1587, poisoned, the Seign- eur de Brantonne declures, by a pair of per- fumed boots. 3 Various instances are recorded of the use of boots as cruises or buckets, of which per- haps the mosi remarkavle s that. of the =3 A great Marshal de Bassomplerre, who, dol everything on a magnificent scale, filled his jackeboot with wine and emptied it ata draught to the health of the twelve Swiss Cuntons! In_the next century we find a political significance given to this article of apparel, when the lot-heads of France, led by Philip, Duke of Orleans, displayeéd their sympathy with English manners and sentiments by wearing the top-baots. These were soon ex- aggerated 1n size, and’ became the distin- guishing sign of the faction, very much as in more modern days the -tri-colored wande marked the Communists. ty In medieyal Eulopea prominent feature' in the trinls by torture was the so-called “boot,” an instrument in which the foot and calf of unhappy victims could, by means of wedges, be subjected to;.a constantly in- creasing pressure, until fiesh and. bone wera reduced to a jelly. In bgfll religious and civil trials this instrument was used to ex- tort what in horrible mockery was calfed “a confession,” few victims being able to to en- dure the agony without subseribing to wiiat- :ai\'er aulknowledgmeut their judges chose to emand. % The employment of the boot as the means of carrying “dispatches and messages must be ns old, at least, as the “ general introduc- tion of the former, Maj. André being onl one out of the innumerable instances which will oceur to the reader. Certain Northern tribes of Indians make the legs of their fur boots sufticiently capaclous to serve as pock- ets, mothers sometimes carrying thejr babies in this warm pouch: 8 broceeding which calls up in my own mind the days when we used to smuggle paper-covered novels into scliool in the legs of our boots, knowing full well that bulging pockets would be investi- gated at sight. Awmong the amusing sumptuary laws which appear in the carly records of New England is one regulating, among -other ex- travagances, the wearing of boots. It was enacted by the General Court ot Massachu- setts in 1651, and reads In vart as follows: “ Although seuevall declarations and or- ders haue bin made by this court agayust ox- cesse in apparrill both of men and women, which hath not yet taken that efect which were o be desired, but on-'the contrary we can not but to our grief take notice that in- tollerable excesse and brauery hath’ crept in vppon vs, and especially among people of meane condition, to the dishono’r of God, the scandal) of our p'fession, the consump- tion of estates, and altozether vnsuteable to our povertie; and although we acknowledge it to be a matter of much difficultie, in re- gard of the blindness of mens mindes and the stubbournness of their wills, to set downe exact rules to confine all sorts of p'rsous yet we can not but accowmpt it our duty tocomend unto all sortes of p’sons a sober and moderate use of those blessinzs which, beyond our expectation, the Lord hath been pleased to afford unto us in this wilderness, and also to declare our utter de- testation and dislike that nen aor women ot meane condition, educations, and callinges should take uppon them the garbe of gentle- men, by the wearinge of gold or silver lace, or buttons, or poyutes at theire knees, to walk in great bootes . . . . ites theretore ordered by this court and the authoritie thereof, that no person . . . . whose visible estates, reall and personal! shall not exceede the true and indeferent value of 200 poundes, shall weare any gold or silver lace, or gold-or* sliver buttons, or any bone lace aboue two shillings p. yard, or silke hoodes o¥ scarfes vppon the poenalty of tenshillings. . . . And that the select men of euery towne, or the major part of them, are hereby enabled and required from time to time to have regard to take notice of apparrill in any of the inhabit- antes of theire several townes respectiuely, and “whosoeuer they shall judge to exceed theire ranks and abilities in the costlynes or fashion of their apparrilf fu any respect, es- Eecmny in the wearing of ribbons dhd great outes {leather belng a commoditie searce in this country), thew’d select men shall have Bower to assesse siich persons so olteudlnfi.” In 1652 Jonas Fairbanks and Robert Ed- wards of Essex werebrosecuted and fined under the law, passed in the Uctober previ- ous; but their punishment did little to hinder others from wearing the great boots their vanity craved until’ Dame Fashion settled the matter by taking, as she usually does, things into her own hand, and decree- ing « smaller covering for the foot. Carlyle had portrayed with terrible cynicism the condition of the world out of clothes, and how helpless is a man witlious boots; what more . pitiable object than this soft-footed, delicately-organized bived, that cannot walk unshod without the utniost pain and the risk as well of **catching dis death cold.” To my thinking one of the most pathetic fizgres -in literature is the immense Californian of whom Mr, Dana tells in “Two Years Betore the Mast,” who, having arrived in_the London Docks without shogs, was abliged to walk, about London for two days in his stockings be- fore he could obtain 2 pair of boots big enough to fit him. Yes, a bare foot is like an_oversensitive and troubled conscience, and_from both—every one remembers the pem!ou of the Litany. . ¥ NOTES ABOUT NAMES. Whata Name Is and Should Be—Names That People Rear and Names They . ‘Would Falu Be Rid Of. New York World. ‘The legal name of a person, let it be said at the outset, is—according to the decision of the Supreme Court of Indiana—**one Chris- tian name and a surname”; he may have as many widdle names or initials as he chooses totake. The most sensible practice is to give a male child two names, as the second initial will be valuable asa distinguishing mark in business. Foragirl, however, the single name is to be preferred, as it will, with her maiden name, form a sufficiently long and characteristic title when she marries. Lord Chelmstord hab said, as to names in England, ** We do not recognize the absolute right of a person to a particular name to the extent of entitling him to preveny the as- stmption of that name by a stranger. The rightto the exclusive use ofta name in con- nection with a trade or business is familiur to our law, and any person using that uame after n relative right of this description has been acquired by another is considered to be guilty of a fraud, or at least of an invasion of another’s rights, and renders himself lia- ble to an action, or he may be restrained from the use of the name by injunection. But the 1mere assumption of a name which is the pa- tronvinic of a family by o stranger who had never before been called by that name, what- ever cause of annoyance it gy be to the family, is a grievance for which our law af- fords no redress.” Accordling to Sir Edward Coke a name given at- baptism way be changed at contirmation, for that eminent jurist has written: *if & man be baptized by the name of Thomas, and after, at his_con- firmation by the Bishop, he is named John, he may purchase by the name of his confirmi- tion.

County Superior Court fimmed the petition ®&f Henry Ratz, of "bompsonville, paying that his name be chacged to Henry Raites. It was shown by the petitioner that his peculiar name was the cause of a great deal aunoyance to himself and members of his family. Mischievous neighbors spoke of hiwm and his wife as: the “old rats,” and the children as “littie rats,”. some going farther and tens- ing them by calling them ‘*mice.” Herr Julius Jackass, of Lohdorf, in Ger- many, applied a few months since to have his nawe changed to Julius Courage, his patronymic not being very surprising, however, in a country wheve the anncunce- mentis made (in the Berlin National Zeit- ung) of the betrothal of First-Licutenant Sourherring and Miss Two-year-old-wild- boar. There was less reason for the appli- cation of a French druggist, M. Soulau, to be allowed to call himself Monsarrat de Lagar- rigne,—a name smke as sounding as the ¢ Norfolk Howard ” of immortaamemory. It is complained of—not with\lit reason— that actors nowndays should so frequently disdain to play under their own names, when the dramatic profession is.so highly es- teemed.

(By the way, ths French law recognizes no name not borne by a saint or a historical per- sonage; thus it would not be regular to christen a girl **Jennie.”) At present coun- try names are 1n vogue in France.

Among curious numes recently recorded “in England we note * Souwester,” conferred on a boy in memory of an unele so baptized becausg of his birth during a southwesterly gale.

COLOR BLINDNESSS. Special Dispateh to The Chicage Tribune. . HArTFORD, Conn., March 19.—The Legis- Tature will repeal this year the law requir- ing examinations of railroad employés for color blindness and defective vision, and the repealing act has already passed the Senate. The Railroad Committee had reported a bill containing these examinations, but under control of the managers of each road instead of the State Board of Health, but when the bill was reached on the calendar, a aSentor offered a substitute simply repealing the law, and it was passed without opposition. Scientific , examinations, as- conducted here last’ summer, = with graduated sizes of letters and matching of colored worsted, is generally regarded as all hum- bug, excepting by the two experts who made the exaininations and netted better than $50 aday each. There was basis for belief that their system was a fraud. When under its operation . certificates of ability were refused to experienced engineets who had_run fast expresses for dyears without accident, and nad recoguized all ordinary lights and sig- nals, and yet fuiled on colored worsteds and other so-called scientific tests. WOMAN SUFFRAGE. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Hartrorp, Conn., March 19.—~The women suffragists introduced this session a bill which was so dangerous an entering wedge that its rejection is certain. It provided that women might vote in. school-district meet- ings without any registration or possessing the education or other gualifications required of male voters. This was seemingly so fair that the Committee made a favornble report on the bill and the Senate passed it. It has, however, been reconsidered and recommitted, as its dangers have been pointed out. It is admitted that there would be no objection to its operations in coun- try towns, but in cities . ladies of wealth and education would not trouble themselves to vote, while those of the** great unwashed” element would gather at the polls, and tHe resuit would be trouble not only in selection of committeemen, butin laying school taxes. In short, the bill was so clear- ly in the interest of the Democratic pdrty 'j;ut the Republican Legislature will sit down upon it very emphatically or Ilimit its aperation to tax-paying women or to those of towns having a small yogqlnuon. Ina State so close as this the Republicans say they can- not take any risks, and there are many who object to the bill on the ground that it is in- téifi'ec!lg in the interest of the Romish Chureh, g THE'DUKE OF ELCHINGEN. A Curious Story from Parls of Police Imbecility and Attempted Blacke mall. Corresponaence New York World. Paris, March 5.—Monday evening about 11 o’clock the Duc d’Elchingen called at the residence of his aid Duvivier, accompanied by three hard-looking men, one of whom went up to the apartment to request Duvivier to come down and speak to the Duke. The Duke requested him to goand inform the Duchess that he would not be at home the next day eitter for breakfast or dinner. This did not surprise Duvivier, as the Duke was 1n the habit of absentinz himself for two or three days. He went immediately to see the Duchess to give her her husbaid’s message, and she handed him a dispateh just received, and said: *Here! open that; it may beimpor- tant.” ‘The dispatch was from St. Peters- burg, and said: *‘ Good luck for vour expedi- tion to-night.”” 1t was sizoed by a name not known.to any one. - ¥ ‘The next day Mme.

Just after his arrivalanote was_brought by a commissionaire, saying: **You have de- nounced us to the police; you have not beén willing to give 600,000 francs tosave the life of you sow-indaw. The result is your own faunlt.” Below this was written, “This is true,” in tha Duke of Elchingen’s handwriting; and after this” was written, “You are r?ch enough to give 600,000 fraucs tosave the life of your son-in-law, for you rent for him ,& house at Chatitlon at 25,000 franes ayear.” “T'he police were at once informed, but all their perquisitions were in vain at the two houses the Duke had in the city for his own purposes. At Chatillon he 'was found in the cellar, the area door being locked, with two bullets in his head and an unloaded pistol at his side. 4 < Was it murder or suicide ? The police are reticent, but as the Duke was a General of Division and was buried without auy mili- tary honors, there must have been some- thing wrong in thé business. AMwme. Heine in the past eleven months has paid overa million of franes of blackmail. Before she paid the last 500,000 francs a few months since. she had a terrible seene with the Duke, and swore she would not pay another penny. He said he was dishonored if shie did not pay it.
