AT the July term of the Supreme Judi
cial Court held at Nantucket, Mass, last
week, Judge Colt presiding, there was no
business for the jurors, who were, soon
after being empanelied, congratulated by
his honor on the harmony and good will
prevailing on the island, and then dismiss
ed. Two wives, however, were divorced
from their husbands, and one man here
tofore divorced was allowed to marry again.
THE intended sale of the Chateau Lafitte
vineyards has set people gossipping on
wine, and the following facts are related
in contradiction of the proyerb that wine
improves by keeping. M. de st. Arnaud
states that ne was on a visit in 1884 to the
Chateau Lafitte, when claret of 179S, vint-
age held in high repute during the Direc-
tory, and which was drank as late as $780,,
was put on the table. Its flavor was al
most gone, and the wine was pronounced
worthless. A specimen of the famous COM
ct year, of 1911, was declared to be degen-
Grated, but still was drinkable. The wine
p1r excellence which was pronounced per-
feet was some of 1919, which had been ten
year, in. wood and five years in bottle
therefore in 1884 it was fifteen years old.
This, it appears, is the precise age at which
superior elaret should be drank, e is9I

600 strewn about with apparently great
carelessness-in pockets and pocket-books,
in boxes, in drawers, in holes and corners,
rolled up and chucked in and laying around
loose. There were bank notes amounting
to several thousands, gold and silver by the
hundreds, bonds of railroads, of State,
county and township corporations, United
States bonds, real estate, mortgages, deeds,
notes for money loaned, &C., &c, Six diff
ferent wills were found, in addition to ]
one under which claim had already been /
made and legal battle over the estate is to
begin early in July. a
1T is stated that President Juarez is try
ing to come to terms with Rome, by resum-
ing the relations which were broken off
some years ago, when the church property
in Mexico was confiscated. He has address,
ed the Pope, deploring the differences that
exist between his Government and the Holy
See, praying for a reconciliation, request
ing that some Bishops be sent to Mexico, /
and supplicating the Pope's benediction for
himself and the Mexican people. The Holy
Father, we are told, has been propitiated by
the appeal. and will Immediately preconize
six Bishops for Mexico. 1t is not improb-
able, however, that the old difficulties
about the confiscated Church property will
be resumed, should the Bishops demand its
restitution, as they are likely to do.
