A Slow aud Not Useful Court.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Str: You
have published one or two sensible letters call
ing public attention to the hardness OF the
Marine Court Judges, but TO produce any effect
on their thick hides you must puncture them
with few Of your sharp editorials.
just so soon as this court becomes as slow as
the higher courts, II loses the only virtue that
has time and time again saved it from being
abolished. 1t has attained that position now
There are only three Trial Terms, when there
should be four, and these only sit until the 2]th
OF the month, and there are two Judges doing
nothing the whole year round. The addition Of
a General ERIN TO this court has done mucn
toward bringing about THIS result. IL should
have no General Term. The court is at best only
q sewer to receive the overflow of the courts re
cognized In the Constitution Of the State, aud
appeals from II should 20 to the Court of Com
mon Pleas, doing away WITH the necessity for a
General Term In the Marine Court, and giving its
SIX Judges 1.-TWO at least too many chance 10
De -, Inc TIN" @.-.-s- III the trial Of Causes.
BY this change $4,000 per annum can be saved
to the city in salaries alone. Litgants will get
that speedy relief which makes such a mongrel
court desirable, and the JUDI es and clerks, who
are only servants OF the public, will have to work
for the handsome salaries they receive.
l am informed by one OF the clerks that this
court Is now over $3.50 causes behind In It's work.

New-Married Lovers.
Nom n. Ciersiand Leader.

A Cleveland drummer was in Elyria a
few Sundays ago, aud while sitting In his room
heard, from the next room, the mysterious
question and answer:
'"wnose duckey are your"
Use your duckeyW
few moments passed, during which the
drummer sat in open-mouthed wonder, and the
silence was again broken;
Nv hose duokey are your"
"rse your duckeyV
Unable to stand IL much longer alone the
Clevelander hurried down to the ONCE learned
that newly married couple were In the house,
invited three other drummers to hear the fun,
and tiptoed back to his room. The wicked
quartet crammed their handkerchiefs In their
mouths, and DUNG the next quarter Of an hour
heard that fond conundrum put and answered
no than fur times by the unc onscious rustic
and his bushiug bride.
At dinner, as luck would have II, the bride
and groom were seated between two OF the
drunmers, while the original dscoveTer OF the
bonanza sat opposite, The table had been
cleared OF the substantals, and orders for es-
sert had been given. Al that moment spirit
OF mischief took entire possession OF the Cleve
aTchly at his nearest friend, and In dulcet tones
propounded the conundrum:
"Whose duckey are your"
The other chap was equal to the emergency,
and, IN tones Of affected sweetness, got In his
answer;
Use your duckey"
Two scarlet rustic faces, the hutter OF a white
dress through the DOORWAY, two vacant seats AT
the table, and four or ~ drummers laughing IN
the tears ran, n ished across the vision Of the
spectator IA the curtain fell.

MISS BOTT.
How she Sang 60 start the Growing Church
In Harlem.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Str:
read the interesting article OF Ell Perkins on
Miss Abbott, aud In the al joining column the
article on "A Growing Church Ia Harlem"
brought TO mind more forciDly the now famous
singer IL was In this church, st. Jamess Method
ist Episcopal, that Just nve years ago, I'm medi-

opening festivities Of the new building. that
Miss Abbott sang in concert. II was then an
nounced that this would be her last appearance
In America, as she would In few days SSH for
Europe to enter upon her musical education.
Miss Keogg's name was mentioned as her pa
tron, and the high esteem in which the people
Of Harlem hold the latter, induced many to 90
to this concert to hear Miss Abbott A few Of
the ladies OF the church who had met Miss Alb
bolt, spoke Of her marvellous voice In superla-
tive adJectyes, but when they spoke OF the giri
they were at loss TO mud words to convey their
In Eli Perkins's story there is an undercurrent
OF chdlike simplicity and artlessness standing
around the singer In her womanly struggles, and
wnen Miss Abbott apreared before the ST.
James's audience i've years ago, the ma9netl Sun
Of her childlike manner captured the audience.
Add To this the enchanttnent OF her song, and
the deep, fsst-rveted silence and attention OF
her hearers as she poured forth the music OF
her voice, pure and clear like sounds OF silver
floating on the air and you may imagine the
power that she exerted over her hearers. And
when with app au SO and encore he SATISFIED her
audience with repeated songs, she seemed to be
rs happy and AS joyous az any a them. with
her, music Is n PASSION, and SIM licity and art
lessness are as natural To her. Mr.. Perkins
speaks OF the effect she produced on the Baron
ess de Rothschld, and also on Adelina Patti.

been able to retain their places, but would have
rushed to embrace her as Others have done
since.
also notice that Miss Abbott has appeared IN
the Daughter Of the Regiment" When I
heard her on the occasion above spoken OF, |
remarked that In that character she would one
day stand unexceled.
Whatever her fame may become, 10 will be
strengthened by her purity and simplicity of
heart. and those who for the first time, through
your columns, have heard the story of her strug-
giles. Will no doubt rejoice IN her tIiumphs.

They are as straight as arrows, 1.-the supple. and

attention OF travellers. Since muscular educa-
tion has becouie hobby and the girls are ini-
