TIE United Presbyterian Of this week says
of A. T. Stewart: But after all be will be
marked down as one Of the failures, since the
real beneficence of human life was wanting in
his career, and since he leaves no memory be-
hind him that will stimulate the young to
goodness. He had vast wealth, wonderful
business, supreme control, almost, in circles
of trade; he lived in house uneIampled in
the history of the country for magnifcence
and luxury, and in all his ways Of dealing
there was greatness that lifted him out of
the line of that which is common into the ex-
traordinary and astonishing, but he has gone
and left all with nothing purchased by it with
which to establish himself in the new world
where he must have his residence. And while
he lived it was in the solitary way Of one who
had grown past his fellows. His house vai
marble, all its appointments were made with
reference to the most refined and sumptuoua
elegance, but it was cold, cherries, solitary.
Who would give up cottage and its glow Of
warmth and beauty for the $50, ,0Oo, 900 Of the
departed merchant prince?

Quished in the France 6 erman war of 1870
Il. France, which paid the great indemn-
ity with such marvellous rapidly, is be-
lieyed by the best economists in Europe to
have got it back again as quickly. The
German invaders took back with them a
taste for French productions which has
immensely increased the Continental com
meTce of France and now it comes to light
that the skilled workmen OF France are
invading Germany with brilliant success.
Before the war there were in Berlin only 200
French artisans. There are now 24O0, chiefly
workers in stucco, carpenters, uphOlsterers
and designers. The Prince Won Plees, a
SilesiaD -" Transparency" who is building
himself a new residence, has employed q
French architect, NJ. Detailleur, and sixty
French workmen. Prince Won Putbus,
whose wife, the Princess Wanda, in her
lifetime was one eff the most intimate
friends of Bismarck, and who is now put
ting up some buildings on his island of R1-
gen, has ordered his building materials all
| the'way from Paris, finding that they can be
delivered to him at lower rate than those

men in Prussia are earning from to 20
francs day, are said to be generally a very
thrifty set of people, and keep themselves
quite to themselves, freQuenting a cafe of
their own in Berlin for their regular Sa-

To the Editors OF the Knoxville Tribune:
AS you are about to unsheath neH
blade, l trust that we may witness some
sharp work at your hands. The evils Of
the times are So NUN erous, and many OF
them so t1RgTant, that it wOuli SEEM
Quixotic to undertake to reform them
All at once. There is one 10 which in
Vite your atte ltion, and it will do to be-
gin upon. l mean the inexcusable de-
lay in the publication of the decisions cf

people will be surprised to learn that the
reports are four years habiyd. How can
inferior courts administer the law, law
yers advise their clients or citizeus lean
~nsr Jneir rights And privileges are
whjls the J. law OF the isnd y is hidden
from sight. If our supreme court Nes
more accustomed to follow precedenIs
and observe the old land marke, we
might more reasonably "guessn at what
is decided, but it is too well known that
the present court is given to variable
ness, and sometimes to contradictions
in its own decisions. This may result
in part at least from the fact that the
judges cannot have their former deci-
sions before them. It is the right Of the
people to have their laws made known,
and the statutes require that they shall
be published. 1t is The duty of CleTEs Of
the supreme court to make out an 4 de-
liver to the reporter for the State, copies
Of the opinions Of the court within ten
days after the decision. [C0de,
