SUDDEN CHICK TO THE PROCEEDINGS IN THE CASE
OF 1HE U. 3. vs. cHAs B. DAY ET. AL.
The United States Circuit Court was opened
at 10 O'Clock on Wednesday. and the trial of the
case of the U. $. u.s. Chas. II. b. Day ei al. was
resumed.
District Attorney Higgins made his opening
address to the Jury aud was followed by Mr.
Harrington, of the counsel for the defence
when sudden check was made to further pro-
ceedlngs by the allowance of non-suit by rea-
son OF variance between the official bond put
in evidence and that filed with the declaration.
In arguing the point of variance the
District Attorney contended that the
bond filed under the statute was merely for
purposes ofevidence, and no part of the dec4ra-
tlOn; that as there WAS no variance between the
bond offered in evidence and the declaration
proper it ought to be admitted in evidence.
The Counsel for the defense cOntended that
the filing the bond made it part Of the declara.
ton, and that that offered IN evidence varied
in important particulars from the ono filed it
ought TO be rejected, and this was the opinion
of the court.
1t is proper to state that the bond filed, was
from false copy sent from the Treasury De-
partment to the District Attorney, who after i'll
ing the copy of it discovered It's error aud had
true copy made for use as evidence in the case
As the incorrect copy could not be proved and
was not what the Government relied on, the Dls-
trict Attorney took a nOn-suit. The case will
again come up in October next, unless the de-
fendant comes to an agreement and settlement
with the Treasury Department.
1he case was being conducted on the part of
the Government by L. $. District Attorney Hig-
gins, and on the part Of the defence by Messrs
Geo V. Massey aud s. NJ. Harrington

Within the past three or four years, the annual
expenses OF the city have greatly increased
The salaries Of many officers have been enlarg-
ed-in most cases with propTiety, for they had
been unjustly small more elaborate methods

terests of the city, have been adopted; various
works Of improvement have been prosecuted
continuously; and, in some instances, new sys-

and protection have been devised, which, if
more efficient, are at the same time more ex-
pensive.
We do not complain Of these developments Of
expenditure. They have been compelled by the
steady and rspid growth OF the city, and with
out them, we should have decreased, if not for
feited, some Of our greatest advantages Our
water supply is vital matter. and in order to
enlarge it and make it more reliable, large sumo
have been expended on the new pumps and
pump houses, and on other costly but valuable
improvements. We not only cannot do without
water, but we cannot permit the supply to fall
below the public need.

HOW OUR ANCESTORS SAVED THEIR OLD
CLOTHES

In reading any OF the semi-hisorical works
which describe the dress and household appli-
ances of civilized nations from the middle ages
to modern times, it is wonderful to notice the
exceeding sumptuousness OF the apparel for
merly worn by the wealthy classes. Cloth of
gold and silver, brocades, sattns and velvets.
sewn with seed pearls or embroidered with gold
seem quite ordinary wear, from the time of the
Field of the Cloth of Gold to the Puritan reac-
tion, two centuries later 80 that modern drezs
and lts fabrics even among the wealthiest, seem
poor and paltry in comparison
In the matter Of expense however, it is like
ly the difference is not 20 considerable as it
nrst appears. The garments which are now
changed and replaced with every season or
change of fashion, were then things OF
life long wear, and even descended as heir
looms from one generation to another.
Queen Ehzabeths famous three thoua-
and dresses no doubt comprised all she
had ever worn in the course Of her long life
and probably her mothers and grandmother :
as well. Gifts of partly worn garments were Of :
ten exchanged among even the wealthy classes
After the murder Of Darnley the fair widow
made over her deceased lords doublets to Both
we'll, who straightwsy had them altered to fit
his own fine figure, and wore them, to tho scan
dal of Scotland. Another piece of economy
which Mary Stuart is credited with, is having
the velvet curtains removed from Darnley'4 bed
on the eve 70 the fatal nigh, at the Kirk oF.eds.
piece of house-wifely thrift which was after
wards recounted to her prejudice
In contrasting the ephemeral fabrics o. to-day
with those durable msgnidceuces We may con.
elude that freshness and cleanliness are things
OF modern invention. Cloth Of gold. worn for
generation or two, would be apt to become de-
cidedy frousy and musty.
