The Irish nationalists of this city now take tt for granted that the Irish crimes act will be passed by the English house of commons, and ‘that It will be followed py the usual avalanche of evictions and agrarian outrages.

One bright summer morning as I was strolling toward the beach on the Island of Makinac, I saw a short distance ahead of me two little pigs, one perfectly white and the other perfectly Diack, both the same size, trudging along side by side in the same direction as myself, seemingly engaged in earnest conversation, ‘They seemed so out of place, and I was 80 curious to know whither they were bound, that I followea them unobserved. ‘They did not walk aimk r, but as if they had some 5] ob; in rriew, and some definite destination i Iwondered what they would do when they reached the water.

"They were brought here this morning in a boat from that island, and we be eee we might allow them their freedom for the short time they had to live, never thinking of their making an necemeee to return home.” “And did you notice,” he continued, “they chose the point of land nearest the island ‘where they came from to enter the water?

A case was decided in the Superior Court of New ‘York Tuesday, involving the construction of con- tracts Known in the vernacular of Wall street as “privileges.” The sult was originally instituted by Imsiee A. Hopper against Mr. Russell Sage. In the complaint 1t 1s set forth that on May 23, 1878, Mr. Hopper purchased a “put,” which the de- fendant signed, and by which ‘he agreed to take from the purchaser, any Ume within 30 days, 500 shares of Chicago and Northwestern common stock at 49. In the agreement regarding the “put” itis stated “the wi ned is entitled to i the dividends or extra dividends declared dur- ing the ume.” When Mr. Hopper called on Mr. Sage on June 22, and stated that he wanted $24,501 for the Stock in question, Mr. Sage contended that asin the inter- val between May 23 and June 2 a 3 per cent divi. dend had been paid, Mr. Hopper was entitled to Payment only at the fate of $46 a share. Mr. Hop- Per refused to reeelve payment on such as e claimed the dividend paid since the contract ‘was entered into had been declared before it was made and signed. He accordingly brought suit | against the veteran fmancier to recover $1,500, the amount of the difference between the price of the Stock at 46 and at 49. ‘The first judgments obtained were in Mr. Sage’s favor, but in the Superior Court Tuesday J Dugro directed the Jury to find for the plainug, which Was done accordingly, the full amount, with, interest, being granted in the sum of $2314.20, Alter the return of the verdict Mr. Sage’s counsel Obtained a stay of judgment pending appeal ee A Scrr Acarst Lorra.—Clark J.
