A Generous Justice.

Two cOlored women came before one
of our ministerial Justices yesterday for
the adjudication of somewhat peculiar
case 1t appears that one of the wom-
en- gave out a black calico basque to the
other to have made. The mantua-
maker kept the basque for about three
weeks, and No. went to her and de-
manded the return of her property. The
mantua-maker refused to give it up, and
a tussle for possession ensued, the re-
suit of which was the separation of the
garment, the owner getting the body
and the mantua-maker retaining the
sleeves. The suit, therefore, was for
the recovery of the value of the sleeves,
and the Justice put the parties on proof
as to the value thereof. The valve was
finally fixed at 10 cents, and the Justice,
rather than go through the necessary
litigation to settle the matter according
to law, determined to settle it by a mix
ture of equity and charity, which was
both novel and satisfactory. He put his
hand in his pocket, pulled out 10-cent
piece, and handed it to the plaintiff, tell
ing her TO purchase another pair Of
sleeves and change her mantua-maker.
All parties were satisfied, even the
Justice himself, who said he would
rather go without his lunch than discuss
the mysteries of female finery Charles

lions before the Board, their object only be-

rogated witnesses at some length regarding
the Packard Government and the causes
which led TO its downfall, his purpose being,
as stated, to show a bargain by which Hayes
was to be counted in as President, and he in
return for such service was to overthrow
Packard as Governor and recognize Nichols
Mr.. Hiscock objected to this line of question
ing as being irrelevant, but Chairman Potter
said that, while he did not personally favor
soing into this matter, the question had been
previously adiudicated at a former session of
she Committee, and he therefore decided that
the questions might be permitted. The fur
poned until fne following day.
Ex- Congressman Morey, Of Louisiana,
testified before the Committee ON the 26th:
Witness said on the face of the returns the
Nichols and Tilden Electors had majority
that the Returning Board threw out enough
votes to elect Packard, and after this threw
out ,5l2 votes to elect the Hayes Electors
this condition of things was discussed by
prominent politicians, the visiting statesmen
and the Republican council; IL was discussed
by party leaders on both sides; we tried TO
make, under the law, a case for Packard, and
presented protests against every thing illegal
orirTegular; made some figuring as to what
results would be produced IL certain parish
returns were thrown out; think it probable
the figures were not mentioned to the visiting
statesmen, but naturally supposed the mat
ter would be brought TO their attention; ]
understood the result of the calculation was
sent to Florida so as to come to the knOwl-
edge of the officials. Later on in the examin-
alton witness said he had no doubt the cal
culation concerning the ultimate result in
Louisiana was communicated to the visit
ing politicians, as they we're as much inter
ested in knowing what would be the result in
Louisiana as the Republicans there were in
knowing what would be the result III Florida.
Witness, in answer to question by Butler,
said the result in the State showed both
Packard and Hayes were elected under
the laws. He said it was generally
understood that the mission of the
McVeagh Commission was to break
down the Packard Government and
establish Nichols. His opinion was that
the Packard Government had been recog-
niZed in the first place as kellogg's had
been and had the President said that he in
tended to maintain the Packard Government
and given to it the necessary moral support
there would have been no trouble in main
tanning it,
The Committee, on the 9th, after hearing
some unimportant testimony, adjourned to
meet in New York City on the 29th.

TattOoing i'm Burmah.

At the mention of tattooing, the
English reader will be disposed to lower
the Burman in his estimation to the
level of the Red Indian or South Sea
Islander, or other wild offshoot of hu-
mainly. Yet, it is no mark of any such
want of culture. From the educated
native Judge who sits on the bench to
administer the law of England, who
speaks and writes the English language,
drives in his barouche, and attends the
social gatherings of English ladies and
gentlemen, to the humblest laborer in
the field, every man of the population
is tattooed, not at pleasure and within
the limits he himself may draw, but by
a rigid custom which deVotes to the tat
tooer's art the body of every man from
the waist to below the knee. Within
this area every Burman is branded with
a close tapestry of lions, griffins, and
other fabulous monsters, in deep blue
pigment, forced under the skin by q
painful process. Red tattooing is con-
lined to the upper part of the body.
This necessary decoration is begun at
an early age, and the prescribed sur
face is only gradually covered, but the
severity of the treatment in the case of
very young boys is the cause of no little
illness, and sometimes even of death.
1 have myself met only one Burman
who was not thus decorated, and he was
kind of privilege mountebank to whom
the license of a clown was allowed, and
who was the good-natured butt of his
companions. The tattooer is proud to
execute his most artistic designs (Which
he will display on scroll like tailor's
patterns) on the arms of English officers,
and among those who have served in
Burmah the samples of this art are
among the commonest relics shown to
admiring friends at home. Whatever
may have been the origin of this strange
custom, it is considered an essential
mark of manliness, and the Burmese
youth who shrank from the ordeal
would be regarded and treated as
'smilksop;" and, however unnatural the
custom may be, it undoubtedly has the
effect of attaching a wholesome dignity
to hardship, and the fearless endurance
of physical pain, to which may be part
ly due the remarkable freedom from
effeminacy which is popular charac-
teristic of the Burmese. -Fraser's
Magazine.
