siye throat encased in snowy tie; his broad
chest making an Immense display Of snowy
linen, dotted here and there with diamond
studs, his Wa{stcoat miracle Of embroidered
silk, dark in color save where illuminated BIZ
flowers or traversed by bis heavy watch chain

- Hon. LemueI Shaw, late Chief Justice Of
Massachusetts,, died on Saturday, aged 50
years. He was elevated to the Bench in 1880,
and remained in office until 1860, a period Of
30 years, when he resigned On account OF his
advanced age. Judge Shaw was one Of the
ablest laW years in the United States and
most estimable man. His personal appear
ance WIS far from prepossessing, which ren-
dered him at times the subject Of personal but
always good natured ridicu1e. Mr.. Choata
once said Of him; "We yenerate the Chief
Justice, not for any beauty Of form or feature,
but for tho supposed hidden intelligence
within" This remark was probably the basis
for the ludicrous story that at law club
Choate once gave as sentiment: The. Chief
Justiee-Ws contemplate him IS the East In
dian does bis wooden headed ido1-he knows
that he is ugly, but be feels that he is great"
