JusrIcE FIELD.-T The Washington
correspondent Of tho Worla, writing
up tho Judges Of the Supreme Court
OF the United States, thus speaks Of
Junge Field:
Justice Field Is, In some respects,
tho most remarkable physical charac-
ter on tho Bench. Within n few
months no has had n tumor cut out
Of his back. Within three years he has
been tho recipient of IN Internal ma
chine, which, had it been opened In
his presence, would have blown him
to atoms. Judge Lake, of San Fran-
cisco, suSpecting the contents Of the
box to be explosives, had u lnborer
carry 1t Into tho basement Of the Cap
itol and throw it repeatedly against \
marble column. The bottom Of tho
box dropped oil before tho top, and
then there was revealed two or three
dozen musket cartridges, pointing In
every direction, and prepared for ignl-
ton by a Illuminating powder and n
box OF matches, with II fold of sand
paper ingeniously prepared to DO
pulled across the top OF the matches
when the lid should be opened. Field,
when In the Legislature Of California,
was once menaccd by instant death If
no made a certain speech. lIe per-
sisted, nevertheless, although tho man
who threatened him vas Il cool dcs-
perado; but David G. Broderick, who
was then In the Legislature, and who
was secretly aware OF Fields peril,
kept his enemy covered with n pistol
all the time no was speaking.

THE FISK ASSASSINATION.

The most sensible OF our exchanges
all agree in unqualified condemnation
of Fisk's assassination. and earnestly
desire that the cowardly assassin,
Stokes, may meet with speedy and just
rctribution on the sallows. whatever
may have been Fisk's weaknesses and
peculiarities, he was no mean or bad
man. He commenced life as n poor,
Woodworking boy, and through his
w efforts. aided by a naturally
shrewd financial disposition, he sue
cceded In not only becoming rich, but
n very prominent and influential man
among the wealthy. He certainly did
drive many u sharp, wholesale flnan-
cial bargain and draw money towards
himself in a continuous golden flood,
but his only victims were tho wealthy
1inancicrs Of the country, whom he
simply outgeneralcd In shrewdness'
Fisk was q friend to the poor, giving
freely and bounteously, and hundreds
to whom ho gave steady empl oymsnt
rs woll as the needy to whom he was
so ever ready to render assistance, SIN
cercly mourn the loss Of him whose
i~ocular expression, when speaking OF
some absent parsonage, was, "Ho'S
cone where the woodbine twineth,'
and who has himself now gone beyond
tho dark river, where the arrows o
envy or the envenomed sting Of ,naiice
NAV neyor moro roach him.

A MAIDEN lady, aged thirty-two
years. living In Waukesha,. Wisconsin,
offered a private detective $1,000 to
secure her marriage with q wealthy
old gentleman, the money to DO paid
on her wedding day. Tho detective
secured her IN Introduction to the OBJ
ice: Of her intentions, and directly the
acquaintance of the two waxcd vlgor-
ouS. The fact of the bargain with the
detective has TRANSFERRED In a suit be-
fore tho Wisconsin courts. Tho maidcn
lady in vain tried all her arts upon tho
old gentleman. She could not get
him to marry her, and so, doing the
next best thing, she prevailed upon
him to seduce her. The old gentle
man didn't want to do 1t, but he really
couldn't help himself; and the suit In
question Is his punishment. The
maiden lady considers her lost virtue
worth 500, 900. and tho probability Is
that n sympathetic jury will give her
$4,000. OF course the victim has no
remedy, though the maiden lady is a
deliberate, n convicted swindler. The
law does not recognize the compara-
tive value of different articles of vir-
tue. 1t discovers tho fact simply that
this old gentleman, for Instance, Inns
money, and that he has been indis-
Greet. And 1t makes II provision In
behalf Of the victims Of this designing
female, this branded Swindler, this
braZer harlot,

The DAYS GROWING LoNGEn.-lt Is
some comfort In these short days, to
know that In fact that though compar-
atiyely growing shorter, tho days are
actually growing longer. The schools
aud colleges used to teach that thcre
was no evidence whatever that tho
earth's motion around its axis was
ever faster or slower than ut the pres
cnt time. In n very interesting and
Instructive article entitled "Our Chief
rime-Piece Losing Time" Mr.. Proc
tor, tho English Astronomer, combats
this proposition. ut Is OH idle DREAM"
he says, "but a matter Of absolute GER
talnty, that though slowly, still very
surely, our terrestrial globe Is losing
its rotation movement. Tho length OF

second than 1t was 1000 years ago. At
thIs ratio Of change, day would
merge into n lunar month In the course
OF t~hirty-siX Thousand millions of
years." This Ia very encouraging.
