RAPACIOUs. JUDGE MARTIN.
New York Wor1d.]


In 1916 the State of Louisiana changed
its Constitution, as much to get rid of
Felix x. Martin, its eighty-yea
Chief Justice, and certain mischiefs of
legal procedure, as for any other pur-
poses. In this movement, Judah p.
Benjamin, afterwards United States
Senator, then in the Cabinet of the
Confederacy, and now Q. G. in London,
was especially prominent. He mar
rated in the constitutional convention
an anecdote of tho Chief Justice. A
case involving title to twenty bales of
cotton was before him /; but it was evil
dent that he did not listen to the argu-
ment, and was busy figuring. One of
tho counsel had curiosity to investigate
and heard the half-senilc Justice NUT
ter, "Poor US, poor us; only nineteen
bales out of the twentyp' Puzzled at
the observation, the counsel scrutinized
the figures and found that Judge Mar
tin, with true professional instinct, had
calculated the legal expenses up to ar
gument, and found that they absorbed
nineteen bales out of the twenty in
controversy, and was lamenting that
one bale had been left to the client.
Judge Martin, if now alive, would be
just the man to be happy over the
recently published schedule of Jay
Cooke & Co. It reveals a total of
$2S7 81 as the expenses attending the
bankruptcy proceedings, of which
1874 ,673 were paid to lawyers, $5,S73 to
the Register, and 1892 to the Marshal,
making almost 100000 for legal dis
bursements. In this instance the cred

A new counterfeit has been discoy-
cred in the shape of a quarter of an
eagle, made of silver and electro-gilt.
1t contains silver of the value of about
10 cents, and, having Il clear ring, is
likely to deceive persons who have not
lately been accustomed to handle gold.
Storekeepers should be particularly
watchful with regard to this counter
felt, Il number of which have lately
been put into circulation.

The old silver dollars coined prior to
1878 were and still are legal tender
for debts to any amount; they contin-
ued to be so even after the passage OF
the characterization act of 1873; in fact,
there has never been a time when they
did not possess this property. The
minor silver coins-halves, quarters,
dimes and half dimes-have since 1853,
when they were slightly debased, been
legal tender for debts only to the
amount of So.

The Loves Of salvlnI ana Ristori


Writing from Rome, Annie
Hampton Brewster says that at one
time every one thought that Salvini
and Ristori were lovers, they were
so handsome and so perfectly
matched. 1t was a great treat to.
see them together. But Salvini
was tickle aud light O. love, and
Ristori married a poor young Ro-
man noble, the younger son of the
C%apranica family, who gave her the
empty title of Marchesa del Grillo.
She has made gold enough to regild
the worn. out old coronet, and now
under the present Italian govern
ment she is une grande dame at
court and in the court circles. Sal
vini roamed about like a h%umming-
bird with his facile, illegal loves,
and was the torment and terror Of
every married man in the various
theatrical troupes. Four years af-
ter La Cazzola's death, Salvini met
a pretty young English girl whose
sad story appealed to his sympathles.
She was suddenly left friendless and
without means. Salvini offered to
marry her; she accepted his offer,
and he is now a happy but anxious
husband, La Signora Salyini is a
perfectly proper person and well
conducted wife, but poor Salvini's
triumphal experiences among
women in the past make him too
cIear-sighted and suspicious a hus-
band. He is said to be as jealous
as 0thello.

request of number of prominent citi-
zens, give public recital of his sad
search for his missing son. Mr.. Ross
is not finished speaker, and his Ian
guage is not that of an orator, so that
had it not been fol the pathetic theme
on which he spoke his address would
have been dull and embarrassing. AS
it was, not only the speaker but the
audience were much affected, some
times even to tears. Mr.. Ross detail.
ed a number of his fruitless attempts
to find Charlie, aud read several letters
which he received from the kidnap-
pers. He considered it beyond doubt
that the boy was alive on the day when
Mosher aud Douglas were shot at Bay
Ridge but since then he has found M
trace Of him. He will continue the
search, not only for the purpose Of
finding bis son, if alive, or learning
the time and place of his death, if he
be dead, but with the intent of silenc-
ing the few who believe him to have
been concerned in Charles taking off
At the time of the abduction the kid

spent season in China as superin-

'sis surprised that tea culture did not

of American industry He thinks
the Chinese waste a great deal of
labor on their tea, and Yankee in
genuity and machinery would great
ly reduce the expense'of production.
The commissioner, it seems, has
100000 tea plants started in the

A military reunion was held few
days since at Anderson S. c., which
was attended by some 5000 persons.
and addressed by Gov. Wade Hampton.
The speaker urged equal rights for all
citizens, amnesty for past official roguer-
les, "except as to conspicuous leaders
who misled the colored element" and
paid high tribute to President
Hayes official conduct. He oounselcd
unity aud harmony among Democrats,
and predicted that the principles sus-
tanned 10 1876, and the nomination of
conservative men on the State ticket,
would result 10 the utter disruption Of
the Republican party in South
Carolina. In case it should not, he
might have added, there are yet rife
clubs enough in South Carolina to
thin out the Republican voters, from
year to year, so that Democratic ascen
dency is only question OF time.

The Massachusetts contested elect

The Massachusetts contested elect
ion case in Congress. has been dis
posed of and Field (Rep.) the sit
ting member ousted to make room tor
Dean (Dem.) 1t is a great outrage,
but entirely in accordance with the
presidents established by the present
House, and hence not unexpected. So
pa.pably wrong was it that 10 or IL
Democrats were compelled from sense
of duty to vote in favor of Field. Ben
Butler through pure cussedness and on
account of some old personal grudge
against Field voted for Dean. Every
other Republican voted for Field.
