Health of Chief Justice Chase.
NEw York, Sept. 3.-The World says
that paralytic stroke fell on Chief JUS
tice Chase several days ago at the country
house of his sOn-in-lsw, Senator Sprague,
of Narragansett Bay. He is unable to
walk without assistance, and his mind
seems shattered. The impaired health of
the Chief Justice has been visibly declin-
ing for many months. Gentlemen from
this city whose business called them to
the Supreme Court during its last
session, remarked to their friends
on returning that they were
struck with his changed appearance,
and to the visible marks of premature old
age. Those who visited him at his house
noticed that he had lost the elastic tread
of his old habit of ascending two stairs
at time. Il is not generally known that
a few days since, the Chief Justice, while
passing through this city, had sudden
attack of severe illness snd was obliged
to room at the hotel for several days una
bic to continue his journey. That he
should be attacked by paralysis surprises
no one who knows with what intense as
siduity he has applied himself to public
affairs during the last decade.
