Here the league, or a fragment of the league, was nurs- Ing Its wrath, or rather, the wrath of the prest- dent. A placid crayon cherub gazed_benigniy from the wall upon the ejected league. When THE Srax reporter arrived, Mrs. Smith was engaged in the throes of authorship, upon a manuscript set Ung forth the grievances of the league against -W.W.Corcoran. She rose to warmly greet THE TA reporter as One Who embraced the cause of the downtrodden and ejected. ‘Then she resumed her work of composition, and remarked, with a sigh over the impotence of mere words, “I would like to make it chain lightning.” WHO WERE THERE. ‘The assembiy was not lange, the proceedings of Thursday having either discouraged the leaguers or given rise to the impression that the league had no place of mecting. ‘There was Mrs. Smith, the president; Mrs. Bryant, the secretary; oue mladle “d lid¥, four young ladies, a member of the of labor, and a babe whose presence that the efectment of the league had even the Infant population to indignation F behalf.

MRS. SMITH’S BUGLE NOTE OF DEFIANCE. ‘Mrs. Smith made a specch, observing that Mr. Corcoran had given an insult to women by de- clining the honor of honorary membership in the league. She hurled defiance at all enemies of the league. The infant sympathizer having fallen asleep, at this point attested his sympathy with the speaker's utterances by shores that would have done cred't to a I Are of larger growth—a baby biast summoning afl leaguers to rally round the banner of the president. “If we have no other place of meeting,” declared Mrs. Smith, “ we will hang out on thé curbstone in an open alr ieeting, Or upona telegraph pole.

He wished to waive ex- amination ‘and take the case direct to the grand jury. ‘The court fixed the bail at $500, which will be given during the day. Iurontaxr PATENT QUESTION.—Secretary Teller, with Assistant Attorney General McC:mmon, was yesterday engaged in hearing an appeal taken to them from a decision of Hon. E. M. Marble, Com- missioner of Patents, by owners of the Mellen & Hoffinan patent. The Commissioner of Patents reiused to permit counsel for Mellen & Hoffman to examine the allowed relssue application of John . Praudler, holding that strangers to the ‘case id no right, under the rules of the office, to inspect papr rs of a pending case. James L. Norris and Hon, Roscoe Conkling appeared as counsel for Praudier’s Co. and M. 8 Hopkins and L. Hill appeared for the owners of the Mellen & Hoffman atent. It 1s learned that the Secretary of the interior has decided to sustain the decision of the Commissioner of Patents. If the Secretary had reversed the Commissioner's decision, any one, ‘without authority from an applicant for a patent, could Inspect the application papers whenever desired, ho matter what the motive might be, See Orv ror THE FismiN@ SHoRe.—Capt.

The Court in General Term has, during the past week, been holding its sessions in the commodious and handsome chamber tn- tended for it, in the eastern end of the new buliding, on the main floor. “At the western end of the corridor Judge James has been holding the Equity Court. Saturday workmen were engaged in moving the law library and furniture of the Dar association to the large rooms assigned to the association on the upper floor of the new building. Mr. Clarke, the architeet, will soon be able to sur- Tender the entire new portion of the building to the custody of the courts and officials who are to occupy the various aparuments. THE HEATING AND VENTILATING APPARATUS. Beneath the basement of the building is a cellar for heating apparatus, and running the whole length of the building is an air passage, which will Supply air for heating and ventilating pur- poses. A new Idea in the arrangement of air ducts with valves has been introduced in connection with the heating apparatus,so that when the heat is turned off inone of the court rooms above a steady stream of pure air will continue to pour into the room. It isso arranged that the amount of heat recelved may be very easily re- gulated. A suite of four rooms at be occupied by. the recorder of aeeisrs oorren ‘occ e recorder of @ corres- nding eulte Of rooms at the other end will be levoted to the register of wills. In the center are Spacious rooms for the storing of court records. ‘he rooms in the basement, Clarke says, are as thoroughly fire-proof as any room in the Capi- tol building, THE MAIN FLOOR. At the east endof the main floor, which 1s also Of fire-proof construction, 1s located the chamber of the Court in General Term, with its retiring rooms and consultation room. At the west end 18 located the Equity Court room and its ad- juncts. In the center are two spacious rooms for the use of the clerk of the court and his assistants, These rooms are already occupied. Adjoining the clerk’s office, at the West, 1s another couft room, which may be used. ag a division of the Circuit Court, or for other pur- poses. The upper floor is semi-fire-proof. ‘The Suite of four rooms at the west end are intended for the districtattorney. Next, going towards the east, are two jury rooms. Next to that, In the center of the building, 1s the law library room and the room of the bar association. Tne eastern part is devoted to rooms for the grand jury and for witnesses and attorneys, THE OLD BUILDING. When these rooms are all occupied the wings of the old part of the building will be completely va- cated, excepting the rooms now occupied by the marshal, and will be available for other pi Se Mr. Clarke stated to a Star reporter that ft was ro} to use the vacated portion of the old utkding for the accommodation of various legal commissions under the direction of the Depart- Tent of Justice, such as the Alabama Claims com- mission, for which separate buildings are now rented at a considerable expense to the govern- ment. It 1s proposed to leave the old court rooms in the central part of the old building for the use of the Criminal and Circuit Courts. These courts, having jury trials, attract larger and more miscel- laneous audiences than the other courts. Some members of the bar association are in favor of retaining rooms in the old portion of the build- ing. The present location of the brary is con- sidered by them as inconvenient.

Verdict of Thousands, Mx. RB. W. Tuupe, of Milton, Penn., writes, Nov. 16, 1882,— “Enclosed please find postal order for five dollars and twenty-five cents, for half a dozen bottles of Hunt's Remedy. Ikeepagrocery here, andcan sell more of your medicine than any drug store, as Irecommend it to all afflicted with Kidney Disease or Dropsy. I tell them, that, if they have life enough to swallow it, it will raise them from the dead for a fact; for it did raise me from that slumbering sleep, and, although this was over three years ago, I have had no Kidney trouble since. Like the woman in Scripture, Ihad recourse to many physicians, and grew nothing better, but ever worse. But, thanks to Hunt's Remedy, I am raised as one from the dead.” THE MOST SCEPTICAL CONVINCED. ‘Thousands feel a thrill of joy whenever they gaze upon the magical words, ‘‘Hunt's Remedy;” for it is the best Kidney and Liver medicine ever known, and it recalls to memory the blessings it has proved to them. It isa positive remedy for all Diseases of the Kidneys, Bladder, and Urinary Organs. The proprietors’ names should be written in letters of gold, for few men have done so much for their suffering fellow-beings, One trial will convince the most sceptical, causing them to proclaim to all their friends the many virtues of this great medicine, ‘The demand increases as it becomes known, and where it is best known the sales are the largest. As Mrs. Browning says, ‘Great is he who ‘uses his greatness forall. This is what the proprietors of Hunt's Remedy do. Their great medicine isfor all. —Cor. 1030 Aczwrs or THE DUNLAP NEW YORK HAT. ‘Washinarox, January 1, 1883, A CARD: = - The SILK FELT «nd OPERA HATS manufactured by Messrs.
