PRIVATE 1ABITs OF TIE LATE CHEZ JUS-
TICE.-Chief Justice Chase led a very sim
pie and regular life. For many years it
had been his habit to rise at O'Clock in
summer and in winter. Before breakfast,
he generally took a short walk. returning
home in time 10 meet his family at morning
prayers, which he always said himself when
he was well. The breakfast hour was 5
O'Clock, during which he either cORyerSed
with those around him. or looked over the
morning papers. At Q, he was ready for
his private secretary in the library. Here
he spent an hour reading and debating
letters or preparing his opinions. At ID, he
went to the capitol, generally walking. and
took hi~ seat on the supreme bench at IL
remaining during the whole session until 3
p. IN. After the adjournment Of the court,
the chief Justice walked home and partO0k
of cup of tea and few crackers-this was
his daily lunch. Then he spent two hours
at hard work over his opinions until dinner.
which was always served promptly at 6
O'Clock. The Chief Justice enjoyed this
meal especially, and never hurried through
with it, however pressing might be the
business that awaited him. His table was
elegant, but not ostentatious. and always
consisted of the standard English three
courses and dessert Wine was seldom
served at the table Of the Chief Justice. and
he never used tobacco in any form. After
dinner he would spend an hour playing
chess with his private secretary. He was
excessively fond Of chess. and played a
strong but not very scientific game. At
p. m, he was at work again, which often
lasted far into the night. This was before

AMERICAN COTTON IN ENGLAND.
The Manchester Examiner has the followln

The Manchester Examiner has the following
from correspondent:
There is no need to oe alarmed about the
present stock, as, with the prospect now be-
fore us, 1t will soon be replenished. The
safety OF the trade lies In just taking what
cotton they require. and leaving the remain
der, and II they will escape losses buy only as
they want 1t. From Information at hand the
prospect of cotton is good, aud do not be led
away with the false alarm of any advance, as
In that lies disaster and ruin to the trade
generally. II failures are 10 be avoided, they
will have 10 be 80 with cheaper cotton than
now rules, as I am satisfied that products
cannot stand the strain which high prices
place upon them. I 6nd In Manchester at
present that orders are not being placed In
quantity, and the inference TO be drawn
IA that lower prices are believed In. l
see that the stock is increased by twenty-five
thousand bales oil all sorts, and, with judlci-
ous purchases, the trade will tide over this
temporary scarcity without the slightest ad.
vance, until we shall have repenlshed
stock and lower prices, which ere long will
begin TO show themselves. l again repeat
what said IN o former communication In
your issue. that to avoid losses, which In the
end mean failures (aud many have painfully
realized thOse,) Is to buy sparlngly and only
as 1t is wanted for consumption. Thus you
will gradually see an increasing stock and
lower prices, The result being return to
more prosperous stale than what has been
experienced for o long time back. find that
other cottons are being largely used with
American, which will lessen Its consumption
until we have repletion OF slock.

A DIABOLICAL DEED.

Obstruction OF the Track Of Skidaway
and seaboard RniIroad-A Hand Gar
with Four Men Thrown or tho Track
-One Killed.
From the Savannah Republican,
We have lust learned the particulars of a
dlabolical attempt to lnjure lie and limb,
which has sadly resulted in the death OF Ed
die Mcfarland. II occurred on the Skidaway
and seaboard Railway on Monday night, about
three miles from the city, at Fournoy trestle,
which crosses the head waters OF the vernon
River. The circumstances are these: Some
time ago, some parties being at White Blun,
CONSTRUCTED Wide hand car for their indivld-
ual use, and sought and gained permission
from the road authorities TO run 1t over The.
track to and from the city after tho
passage of the evening train. On Mon
day evening, after the last train had
been put up at Montgomery, George
Willets and Eddie Mcfarland, taking two me-
groes, Monkey and William Jones. with them
10 propel the car, visited town for the purpose
OF attending the theatre. After their passage
over the road, some vilanous party, bent on
mischief, placed log across the track just at
the commencement Of the above mentioned
trestle. The party returning we're going very
raridly down the grade, which terminates ~
that point. when the car reaching tne latal
log struck and precipitated them Irom Ia
rlattorm. Wlllett and the two negroes were
pitched forward into the water, OUT Eooie Nc
Farland was thrown violently on the
track. and the car jumping Ghe log,, tell

n a negro shanty about one hundred yards
distant and demanded aid. It was refused,
the occupants replying that 1t was no con-
Germ OF theirs fact which looks q little Gus
pIcous. The only resource left therefore was
10 walk as rapidly as possible to Montgomery,
fire up the engine and return for the wound
ed man. This he old as quickly as possible,
placed Mcfarland on the car and started for
home. But the Injuries proved fatal, and the
sufferer breathed his last between Sand-Fly
Station and the Isle of Hope. The cause or
his death seemed to be Internal hemorrhage.
When the facts became known next morn

we're greatly incensed, and seemed bent or
