rink. which is thirty-seven feet by

beautifully designed ball, representing

THE discussion among the Senators
on the question of jurisdiction in the
Belknap impeachment case still con-
tinues. The Senators are much exer-
cised and q good deal divided on the
question. Within the last few days the
Democratic Senators have shown signs
of making it party question, and indi.
cate purpose to vote in a body for
taking jurisdiction, and thus throwing
the responsibility OF dismissing the i'm
parchment on the Republicans. In view
of the Importance of this decision as a
precedent to govern the practice Of i'm
peachment in all future cases, this is a
wrong thing to do. Neither party has
any right to make this, or any other ju.
dicial question, mere party question
while sitting as judges to determine the
same. And if either party in the Senate
should do so, it would probably react
against the party so doing.

q race track on his St. Louis farm, shoe
his horses with Government shoes, &c.,
is reiuted by the persons named as hav-

as a favor, and mot on order; and fol
this Gen. Grant paid him, and furnished
the shoes himself. The story was in the
first place absurd, and in the second
place untrue.

A healthy liver secretes each day about two

Lincoln az a Lawyer.

Mr.. Leonard SWEET, of Chicago, gives
the following account of Abraham Lin
ooln's skill as local advocate. He says:
AS trial lawyer, he had few equals,
and no superiors. He was as hard a
man to beat in closely contested cases
as 1 ever met. He was wise in know
ing what to attempt, and what TO let
alone. He was fair to the court, the
Jury and his adversary, but candor com.
'pels me to say that he by practice
learned there was power In this.
He was candid, and he was fair, but
The knew how TO make just the most of
this. As he entered the trial, where
most lawyers object, he would say he
|.ireekoned'' it would be fair TO let this
|in or that; and sometimes, when his ad-
yersary could not Prove what Mr.. Lin
cola Knew 10 be the truth, he would say
lie Hreckoned" il would be fair TO admit
the truth TO be 30 and so. When he did
l.obiect to the Court, after he heard his
direction answered he would often say,
swell, I reckon l must be wrong"
Now about the time be had pfacticed
this three-quartery through case, n his
adversary didn't understand him he
would wake up in Jew minutes finding
that ne mad feared the Greeks too late,
and woke UP to find himself beat. He
was wise as q serpent in the trial OF q
cause, but tell you have got too many
scars from his blow to certify that he
was harmless as q dove. !,
When the whole thing is unravefed,
/ the adversary begins to see that what
lhe was so Dlandly giving away was
simply what he couldn't get and keep.
| By giving away six points and carrying
| the seventh ne carried his case, and the
whole case hanging on the seventh, ne
traded everything of which would give
him the least aid an carrying .thut. Any
man who took Mr.. Lincoln for simple
mindeu man would very soon wake VI

WE think that the testimony of Col.
Scott before the Committee inyestigat-
Ing the charge against Blaine in regard
to the Arkansas Railroad bonds, effectu-
ally suuelches that charge as against
MIR. Blaine. But, then, it is said by
some, with heads wagging and eye wink
Ing. that Scott and Blaine understand
zach other. Now, surely no man OF COM
mon sense would suppose that Col.
Scott would volunteer to commit wllltul
and corrupt perjury tor Mr.. Blame OF
nny other man. II he did not swear TO
lie. then Blaine had nothing to do with
the Pacific Road In connection with
those bonds. IL he did swear to lie,
then there are plenty of men with whom
the transaction is sworn to have been
conducted, who could and would con-
yict Col. Scott of his perjury, and send
him to the penitentiary; and Scott knew
this when he testified. And knowing
this, is it likely that Col. Scout would
volunteer to put himself as criminal
in those mems power3 The intimation
shat Scott was not truthful or sincere in
his testimony is simply absurd.

THE New Jersey Republicans are for
Blaine, with Hayes for their second
choice. We observe that this kind OF
arrangement is becoming quite common
of late. And as the "second choice"
generallytgets the nomination. this may
result favorably for Hayes. The Jersey
men do not repudiate Brstow; but they
adopt resolution directing their dele
gates to vote for nc candidate whose
record as a Republican is not well
known.

FoRNEY,s DREAM.-It is said that Col.
Forney has had centennial dream,
dating forward one hundred years into
the future, to 1915. We do not know
that Forney is an opium eater, or an
eater of hashish, but his dreams stretch
put into such form and consistency as TO
indicate that such 'sa dream is not all

THE .ssick man' of Turkey was never
In circumstances so distressing as at
present. However autocratic in theory
the Sultan may be, he Is just now, as a
matter of tact, under the control OF
mob of his own subjects, who dictate 10
him in his own capital. Were 1t not for
The presence of armed vessels OF their
respectiye nations in the Bosphorus,
lhe Christian population of CONSTANT
nople would be in imminent danger
pf an indiscriminate slaughter by
The infatuated Mahommedans. The
Sultan, however well disposed. is
powerless to prevent this, which, ii
1t should occur, would involve his
throne In desolating tornado
Of avenging wrath from the Christian
powers. Meanwhile the insurrection
of the European provinces OF his en-
pire still goes on, assuming graver as
poets and greater proportions. Fearing
the consequences of a general outbreak
Of the slayonio tribes Immediately on
her own border, Austria is making ex'
traofdinary efforts, going even to the
verge of humiliation, in order to pre-
serve the peace. But we think IL Will
proye truitless. The revolt is too well
organized and the dlscontent too deep
seated to be quieted by mere diplomatic
placeboes and cabinet emollients. Her.
eegoviua publicly proclaims her distrust
of all pledges Of future reforms,
and sternly rejects the interference
of Austria in her domestic affairs.
As to the military subJugatlon
of those Slavic provinces by Turkey
alone, the thing is simply Impossible
Then. what nextf There can be nc
smaller degree Of concession than tc
erect them into .vassal States, such as
seryia and Bosnia now are, having their
own internal autonomy, but rendering
a stated annual tribute to the Sultan
And this is the great step towards 4
speedy and entire Independence o
Turkey, and the Institution OF new
Christian power in southeasterl
Europe, in alliance with the Grea
Powers of that continent. That is tn
issue to which those Provinces are noN
looking, and towards which all thes
events are now tending.
