Court Items.

In the Fifth District Court, Mrs. Mary
Coddy applied for writ of habeas corpus
for her four year old child. The detention
was caused by debt of $50, which the re-
lator had not iquidated. Judge Cullom,
before passing on the case, gravely ap-
pointed Colonel Louis Power curator to
represent the defendant, who was present.
The court having by its own action given
him his first case, heartlessly decided
against him, and gave the child to its
mother.
Judge Hawkins, in an oral decision. YES
terday demolished the application of Mr..
Edward Booth for an injunction against the
collection of the City Park tax. He re-
viewed the provisions of the law on the
subject, and showed that the court had no
power to grant the plaintiffs demands 1t
was bordering on cruelty for the court to
address itself particularly to Mr.. Booth,
and suggest that he had more power to
alter the law as Senator than the judge
had as a judicial officer. The remark that
MIR. Booth had better take his seat in the
Legislature and vote against such laws he
disapproves of was probably not relished
by that gentleman, and it is feared the
good seed fell on stony ground.

A Queen of Fashion Retires.
From the Washington Chronicle. |

The social world of Washington received
a stunning blow one day last week in the
reported failure Of Sprague Brothers. Not
that such failure affected the said social
world Immediately, tor the charming queen
of society, Mrs. Sprague. is yet in mourning
for her distinguished father, the late Chief
Justice, and giving up her princely resi-
dence in the city has withdrawn to her
fathers late residence, three miles out upon
the Bladensburg road. This lady, whose
heart is nearly broken by the death of one
SO near and dear to her, announced her in
tention to give up the place in society she
has made SO graceful and celebrated, and
devote herself to the domestic cares and the
private duties of her beautiful life. But
we all know that one can not SO readily ab-
dicate throne or throw aside crown, and
after the first keen grief Of her great loss
wore away the claims of society would
again prevail. Rumor says that, however
embarrassed financially the Senator may be,
he has yet provision made to the family
that makes them independent. Aside from
the marriage portion settled on Mrs.
Sprague, the advent of each child was the
occasion for gift of $500, 000

Air COMPRISING Engine.

An exhibition was given yesterday, at
No. IS Orleans street, of new air compress
sing engine which is a great improvement
on any Of it's predecessors. The patent was
originally obtained by Messrs. Normean &
Dutrich, who have sold their rights to the
company organized by Mr.. Emile Daboval.
The system on which the engine is coz
structed is new, is not liable to get heated
as the pistons work in water, and can be
operated to more advantage than any other
system and at less cost. 1t can compress
air at any pressure at 800 pounds to the
square inch or upward, can be used for bor-
ing of tunnels, working mines, manufactur
ing ice, to utilize water power or propel
street cars.
For the latter purpose it is specially
adapted and will attract the attention of
those interested in street railways. By
means of peculiar and ingenious regulator
the exact quantity necessary to propel a
car given distance can be distributed from
the main reservoir to that of the truck.
This overcomes the great obstacle which
has hitherto prevented the application of
compressed air as q motive power.
A large number of gentlemen were
present at the exhibition, and the engine
was thoroughly and lucidly explained by
Mr.. Daboval, who succeeded in satisfying
all of the value of the invention. The
cheapness of the engine, and the ease by
which it could be worked were not the
least of its recommendations.
The company is now fully organized and
is ready to 90 to work. Further particulars
may be had OF Mr.. Daboval, at No. Is Or
leans street, where the engine may be seen.

Life Association of America,

This enterprise, which at the end of five
years existence proclaims that it is "the
most successful life insurance company of
its age. in the world, is purely mutual
company. Starting in June, 1865 under the
laws OF Missouri, its total assets at the end
OF the fiscal year were little short of a
million dollars. 1t has rapidly extended its
business and connections until the aggre-
gate sum insured is $l0O000, 900, on 90, 500
policies, and its assets over $5,000,000. The
aim OF the company has been not to make
the association mutual in name only but in
fact, and this has been secured by the pro-
visions OF its charter. Its policy holders are
not an unrepresented body, but are organ
lied so as to elect boards of directors in
each department. The reserve funds are
invested in the localities where the pre-
miums are paid. The surrender value of a
policy is fixed by its charter, regulation
which is peculiar to this company. One
hundred thousand dollars is annually saved
on commissions to agents. The company
endeavor to give all the insurance each
year that the years premiums will pay by
applying the sui plus to obtaining additional
insurance to the extent of twenty-five per
cent year for five years, in lieu of divi.
dends.
The 8 statement OF the five years busi-
ness OF the company, from which the above
facts have been taken, was issued Septem-
Der II, 1873, and is convincing proof Of
the past prosperity of the association and
the certainty of future success. Its officers
in st. Louis, headed by Henry W. Hough,
Esq, the president, are well known gentle
men OF ability, probity and wealth.
In the Louisiana department General J.
B Hood presides over board of directors
who are equally esteemed in New Orleans,
and is assisted by officers who possess the
confidence of all who know them.
The association in all respects commends
itself to the patronage and good wishes of
any and all who believe in the advantages
Of life insurance.

Presentation to Miss Warner.

An interesting part of the proceedings in
the festival in Ames Methodist Episcopal
Church, on Friday evening, was the presen-
tation Of beautiful Bible and other books
to Miss Warner on her leaving for Mexico.
Miss Warner goes there as missionary
under the auspices of the Woman's Foreign
Missionary Society of the Methodist Church.
The presentation was made by the Rev.
James Morrow, spastor of the church, who
spoke Of Miss Warmers work in the Sunday
school and in the church, of their regret at
parting from her and of their prayers for
her success. Miss Warner gracefully re-
piled: "The wise man" she said, "has writ
ten that words fitly spoken, we're like apples
Of gold in pictures of silver, but that even
if such words were hers, they could not ex-
press her surprise, her thanktulness and
her interest in Ames Church" Rev. DIR.
Daley, then thanked the congregation for
their kindness to his friend, and Rev. T.
w. Hooker, of the First Congregational
Church, spoke briefly on the claims Of mis-
sinns

kh0kesDearN Club.

The Shakespeare Club has very properly
decided to give one performance for it's
own benefit. The members of this club
have often performed for the sake OF be-
slowing charity on others. and have given
many gratuitous exhibitions for the enter
tanment of their friends. They now need
money to strengthen and keep up their or
ganization, and their appeal to the public
should meet with ready response. The
as soon as the Varieties Theatre can be Sc
cured for the occasion. 'The Lady Of the
Lake" and an afterpiece will be performed,
IN which Mr.. F. N. Thayer and the leading
acting members of the club will appear, as
sisted by several talented ladies of the the
atrical profession.

The city isquiet and the people are more re-
conciled TO surrender the Virginius Many
Spaniards who are willing to represent the
Casino Espagnol in Spain, telegraph to the
chief Of the Casino to quietly deliver the
Virginius, and Spain will afterward claim
$l0o,0O0,000. The volunteers favor the pro-
position to send the Virginius to Spain and
deliver her there
The feeling in the city continues to i'm
prove. The opposition to the delivery of
the Virginius is decreasing. Prominent Re-
publicans and many Conservatives are in
favor of the delivery of the steamer, and
advise cessation Of opposition thereto.
The message of President Grant to Con-
gress is anxiously looked tor. Gold and ex-
change are declining.
The Protocol.
WASHINGTON, December 6-It has trans
pired that the proposition for the change of
the protocol delivering the Virginus to
neutral power did not come through Spain
to our government, but was merely an un-
official suggestion from the Cuban officials
to Admiral Polo, as measure in the inter
est OF quiet on the island.
This statement is made upon the highest
authority, and our government takes no no.
tice of the indirect suggestion as they only
treat with Spain. They have no diplomatic
relations with Cuba beyond consular regu-
lations.
