and locked up at night. In the meaii-
time she was cruelty beaten and nearly

OF her elegant manslon that had gilt

the legal fraternity stands pre.eminent.
An Immense increase Of litigation has
been Its Inevitable result. Every mer-
chant, banker or broker who was Ia

For instance. the Grinnsll bankruptcy
case. when 1t ilrst appeared before
Judge B%latchford, brought six we'll

Quired by these MOI on sich an occa-
sion would not DO less than $40, 900,

will probably equal five times that
sum-. THIS may seem like q large estl-
mate. but II Is TO be remembered that

were $l2, 900. 000, aud the amount at
stake always has q bearing oil ths legal

HOW RI Il DONE.

The way In which Congress Is con-
.tantly bsfied by the Supervising
Architect Of the Treasury Department.
In Its attempts to prescribe a limit to
the coat Of public buildings. was ex-
planned to the House a few days since
by M-ssrs. Dawes & Beck. 1t appears
to make no difference how strong pro-
hibltions Congress may Insert In the
law, the Architect puts up . structure
TO suit his own Ideas, no matter what
the cost may be. The New York Post
Office was cited as an example. The
Law provided that Il should not cost
more than $1,000 c0, and that no
mouey should be spent until estimates
and contracts had been made within
this figure. Mr.. Mullett went on to
erect . building that was All architcc-
tursl monstrosity. on account OF its In
sufficient hight. Then Congress had
to authorize the addition OF another
story. This the architect held to re.
move oil restrictions as to the cost, and
he has already spent s5.79i.Ooo on the
building. The Boston Post-ofice. the
cost Of which WAS fixed by law at ST.
500, 900. has absorbed s2,7os 900. A
remedy for this abuse was proposed BY
Mr.. Randall, In the shape OF penal
statute. imposing a fine for exceeding
the amount Of authorized expenditure.
This MAS offered IS an amendment
to the Naval bill, on which the de-
bate somewhat appropriately arose.
There Is talk Of putting Ii Oh all the
Appropriation bills.
