A Paradise Of Ola Hats.
From the London Academy

FROM the L0nuOu Acduelhy.1
The group of islands known as the
Nicobars, situated about l50 miles south
of the Andamans, has been but little ex-
plored, though the mannersand customs
of the inhabitants of these islands offer
interesting peculiarities. One OF the
most noticeable, and one which seriously
affects the trade Of these islands, is the
passion for old hats which pervades the
whole frame work OF society No one is
exempt, and the young and old endeavor
to outvie each other in the sngularlty OF
shape no less than in the number OF the
old hats they can acquire during lite
time. On iue morning at the Nlco-
bars, it is not unusual to see the surface
Of the ocean in the vicinity OF the island
dotted over with canoes, in each of which
the noble savage, with nothing whatever
on but the conventional slip of cloth,
and tall, white hat with black band,
may be watched standing up and catch
ing fish for his daily meal Second
hand hats are more in request, new hats
being looked upon with suspicion and
disfavor. The passion is so vel! known
that traders from Calcutta make annual
excursions to the Nicobars with cargoes
Of old hats, which they barter for cocoa
nuts, the only product of the island; a
good tall white hat with black band,
fetching from fifty-6ve to sixty.hve cocoa
nuts. Intense excitement pervades the
island while the trade lie going on. When
the hats or the cocoanuts have come to
an end, the trader generally lands cask
or two of rum, and the whole population

mission, until the rum also comes TO an

me Last or Frenen Trageay

Rachel was invented to prolong the
| life of tragedy, aud when she passed
away, il almost went with her. People
thought at the time that it was the
tragedy they were fond OF, but they have
since discovered that it was the tragedi
enne. Tragedy has furnished few au
thors here, but comedy has been prolific
in such ngmps as Moliere, Regnard, LIE
Sage, Marivaux, Beaqmarobais, Scribe,
the two Dumas, Emile Angler, Jules
Sandeau, Ponsard, Sardou, and others.
Thus the comedy writer's are in great
majority, and il is only at intervals that
tragedy gets hearing, The latter has
as few representatives among the play
ers as among the writer's, while the
drama and comedy possesses tot
probably the FIRST comedian in the
world : Coquelin, Febore, Delannay,
Bressant, Thiron, Talbot, BertOn, Mes

THE MEDIUM OF THE BENCH.
A Chicago astice who Decides Suits
According 90 Spiritual Advice.

A Chicago j Justice who Decides suits
According 90 Spiritual Advice.
From the Chicago Tribune.I
Among the recent converts to spirit
ualism in this city is a Justice OF the
Peace. Not willing to stoop at the foot
of the spiritual ladder and receive in
structions from others, he has been
busted in developing his powers as
medium and at last has come to such
pitch of perfection as to be able to carry
on long conversations with the inmates
Of the world beyond the grave. He no
longer wastes his time in visiting sa-
looms, but stays home at night and holds
intercourse with Kent, Blackstone and
other dead worthless OF the law. 1t is
his great relaxation, when he gets home
after weary session, to light his pipe,
mix glass of punch and then have a
protracted talk With Sir Edward Coke,
This is really an improving way OF
spending the time, and may be recon-
mended to all who desire to become ex'
perienced in the law.
These little peculiarities OF the court
have thus far had no influence upon the
outside world, except to amuse the law
yers who found their way into his pres
ence. whom he would inform how, on
the previous evening, he had had long
argument on some obscure point, and
had compelled him to own that he was
mirtaken. Yesterday, however, the
matter assumed serious form, and one
lawyer at least is in a quandary as to
what he shall do. During the forenoon
session case came up for trial. The
attorney for the defence quoted deci-
sion which will be found in one OF the
early Illinois reports. II was apparently
decisive. The lawyer looked trium'
phantly at the Judge. The latter said; :,
wait minute; feel the influence. "
Then the Judge grabbed lead pencil
and sheet of paper. His hand went
convulsiveIy, aud at the end of five
min utes he had scribbled over the entire
page. When he was through he said to
the lawyer:
II have just received measssge from
Judge Lockwood, Who was one OF the
Judges of the Supreme Court at the
time this decision was rendered. de
authorizes me to say that the majority
of the members OF the then Court, who
are now in the spirit land, after mature
consideration, decided to reverse their
former judgment. Please inform the
profession of that fact, that they may
govern themselves accordingly"
Then the Judge continued: Under
the circumstances, Mr.. -. youwill see
that can pay NO attention whatever to
the decision you have quoted, and jndg
ment must be rendered against you.
The lawyer demonstrated, and The
Judge finally agreed TO postpone the case
for one week in order to give Judge
Lockwood and his colleague an op-
portunity to examine the matter again
and see il they are determined to reverse
their former opinion. The lawyers are
meditstIng what the result will be if the
doctrine Of Spiritualism makes much
further progress-whether it will not be
necessary for them to burn all their re-
ports, If judges in the spirit land are to
be allowed 10 carry on the business OF
making DECISIONS, and Of reversing those
which they have made while in this

comments ON a BLACK Eye.

From the Detroit Free Press.
When man is splitting wood and a
stick flies up and blacks his eye, he must
prepare himself to endure all the taunts
and jeers which the world would inhict
