Tho Law,s DELAY.

The celebrated instance OF the laws
delays in the case Of Jarndyce vs. Jarn-
dyce has been entirely thrown into the
shade by case brought to light by o
recent decision OF the supreme court OF
Hungary, Austria. II was a suit to get
rid OF an alleged wrongful occupier OF q
large family estate, which was entered
in 1868, and having passed through all
the phasespf Hungarian litigation, was
finally decided by the oustipg Of the
wrongful claimant, October 08, 1879,
one hundred and eleven years after the
action began. Meanwhile, Of course,
the wrongful claimant had enjoyed The
property, and gradually eaten II up In
paying lawyers fees; and the family
estate, when at last given over 70 the
heirs Of the rightiul owner, had dwin-
died down)tO small pile Of rocks.

The Khedlve's "Magniflcent' Present.


A New York lette-. writer, speaking of
the jewels presented to Gen. Sherman's
daughter by the OK khedivs of Egypt
some years ago, says: These "magni6-
cent diamonds" as many papers demon.
mate them, seem to have been q snare
and delusion from beginning to end. -
First, when they arrived, they we're said
to be worth $3.50, 900, Of MISUNDERSTANDING
and set with wonderfllFskill. At this
valuation the duties would have been
something enormous, and it could not
have been wondered, therefore, that the
general was determined on strict ex-
animation, 1t was held, and il has been
rumored that the Shermans have since
regretted their demand, for the exami-
nation by experts revealed that the set
was worth $15, 900 only, instead Of $3.50, :
900. One of the experts who handled
them told me short time ago that out
of the 6S6 stones used, over 200 we're
mere chips, worth on the average
twenty-five cents each; they ranged from
that up to ten dollars, and few used as
centers at eighty dollars. The mount
ing is very fine, but take the gift oil in
all, it was not so OrientalIy splendid as
pictured. The duties amounted to 49,,
300, and that Gen. Sherman refused Ia
pay. For year they remained in the
keeping Of the customhouse, when, aftei
much trouble, bill was pushed through
Congress permitting them to be claimed
duty free. They were worn few times
and now arc sealed up in the United
States treasurer's Office.

The Elephant's Report,

An officer in the Bengal army had a
very tine and favorite elephant which
was supplied daily in his presence with
q certain allowance of food, but being
compelled to absent himself on a Jour
ney the keeper of the beast diminished
the ration of food, and the animal be-
came thinner and weaker. When it's
master returned the elephant exhibited
the greatest signs of pleasure; the feed
ing time came and the keeper laid be-
fore it the former full allowance of food
which it divided into two parts con-
Stunning one Immediately and leaving
thee other untouched. The officer, know
ing the sagacity of his favorite, saw i'm
mediately the fraud that had been prac-
ticed and made the man confess his
crime.

to be overlooked or passed unheeded.
Now that tha season for Turkeys il
here we would advise our readers to
take care of the feathers. Heretofore
very little use has been made of turkey
feathers, there being no market for
them. Occasionally a wing would be
saved to make fan, and that was about
all. But now quite a demand has
sprung up for them in making brushes
and busters, and when the feathers are
properly taken care of, a good price may
be obtained for them. In saving them,
put them in bags like goose feathers, but
the body, wing and tail feathers should
be kept separate. and each kind packed
in a box by itself. For tail and wing
feathers, the box should be little
wider than the feather is long, and the
feather laid in the box straight, care
being taken-that the sides and ends of
the feathers do not curl up, as that
spoils the feathers for making busters,
and thereby injuring the sale of them.
In selecting the wing feathers, leave out
the third joint, or that part commonly
used as as fan, as the feathers on that
part of the wing are useless for making
busters. Body feathers should be kept
as straight as possible, and also packed
in boxes. Care should be taken to keep
the feathers perfectly dry, as wet feath-
ers are unsaleable-turkeys therefore
should be all dry-picked,

Cushing's Early Years.

Caleb Cushing's boyhood was spent in
poverty, attended with plenty of hard.
ships. His father, an Intelligent young
fellow, who died great ship-ownel
worth $250,00O, destined him for the
mercantile profession. In the grammar
school, however, he quickly acquired the
esteem of his teacher, who taught him
Latin and Greek and sent him to Har-
ward. Mr.. Cushing's public career be-
gan when, in 1917, he was selected to
read an address to President Monroe, on
the occasion of his visit to Harvard. He
had inherited the ght to become law.
yer, as there were eight or ten judges
among his ancestors. After mastering
the profession, his health declined. He
was at that time tall, slender, studious
and reserved, with black eyes and hair.
He was quite unpopular in ladies' socie-
ty, and never sought it. Finally, how
ever, he married Caroline Wildes, a
judges daughter, and woman with
tastes as studious as his own. She &C.
companied him to Europe, and after
ward published book, entitled Let
tiers from Spain" She was very anx-
ious for her husbands distinction, and
in 1920 wrote the famous letter recon-
mending him for congress. She died
before Mr.. Cushing's fame began to come
to him. At the time of his first election
to congress, he was the most popular
man in Newburyport. His friends acted
like crazy men in advocating him. Fish
ing vessels returning to port were board
ed, and the crews implored to hurry
ashore and register themselves for Cush-
ing. He was even logged about town
in his carriage, the horses being removed
by ardent Cushing men. The lighthouse
keepers even held hot disputes with the
people they met on the water, about
him. He was at that time as great
student as he ever was subsequently,
and regularly passed his friends on the
streets without acknowledging their
