THE BARRIERS AND THE SUNDAY LAw.-Yester-
day, In the Criminal Court, Judge Hagner gave
his decision on the motion argued few days
ago to quash the information against Joseph
Cato, charged with keeping his barber shop
oren on Sunday, and he oyerruled the motion.
Judge Hagner said the question was, whether
the corporation had the power TO pass the ordi-
nance, conceding ft was reasonable one. Ex-
ceptlDg in Louisiana and California sunday
was observed In this country, and was recog-
niZed by the constitution. The only law bear
ing on the subject outside OF the ordinance was
section 1880 or the Maryland Statutes, which
was even more strict In Its provisions II the

Deposition of the Khedive.

When Ismail Pasha, late Viceroy OF
Of Egypt, subscribed so literally to
the sto k Of the Suez canal, it is prob
able that he did not think he was pro-
viding the means for his own deposi-
tion. But so It IL that the large French
interest IN the canal, and the purchase
by the British Government of the
Khedive's shaYes. have given the
French and English Governments the
right, which they would probably
have assumed anyhow. to "recon-
Rtruct" the Govern ment Of Egypt in
consopance with European interests
The pensiOning Off Of Ismail Pasha,
and the placing of his son, M0ham-
med Tewfk Pasha. on the throne In
his stead, probably does not amount
to much of reform in itself. But
when regarded carefully the change
means n great deal. 1t means, In fact,

purchase Of his own dnily pleasures,
but 1t IL not likely that tn same H.
rense will be extended TO Mohammed

.Jeffersom,s Servant.

The New York San says: Among
the Suns death notices on Sunday was
the name Of Esther Jefferson of st.
Louis, No., said to have died last week
at the remarkable age Of one hundred
and seventeen years. The case Of Aunt
Esther, as she was called, is worth more
than passing notice, not only because
her longevity is authenticated by very
strong evidence, but also because she
was a slave Of Thomas Jefferson, from
whom she took her name. and with the
rest of Mr.. Jetferson's slaves, was sold
at auction after his death. Esther JEFF
ferson and her husband subsequently
earned money enough to buy their free
dom. A permit signed by Henry Chau-
teau, clerk Of the st. Louis Circuit Court
In 1881, gives permission to Esther JEFF
ferson, negress, SO years Of age, $50
live in the State of Missouri as long as
good behavior, and no longer"
If the age stated in the permit is correct,
the former slave of Thomas Jefferson
was fully as old as she is now said to
have been.

N'ictoria's First Love.



In the list of arrivals In the city at one
Of our principal hotels appeared, lately
the name of "Rlchard VHuX, Philadcl-
phm." A simple announcement, that
of the arrival Of plain citizen of the
United States, and yet, II fate had not
been dead set against him, Mr. VUuN
might have been the 'consort OF II queen.
Ever so long ago Richard NauX was u
muryellously handsome and fascinating
youg man. He went to Europe, and be-
ing possessed Of large mems, had access
to the best society, aud even attracted
the notice Of the young Queen Of Eng
land, who had but then just come TO the
throne. II Is said, on reliable evidence
the story being told to me by persons
high IN authority IN England-thal her
hearts first affections were given to
Richard Vaux, of the quaker city, and
she would have married him, too, If she
had been allowed, but State reasons pre-
vailed to deter hcp, The Queen Of Eng
land could not marry n subject, even of
royal blood, and therefore she was fore
ed to forget her fancy for the American
or not quite forget It, for In the mom-
ory Of II my Informant suys she has per-
mltted her children to marry according
to their hearts choice rather than Nmbl-
tion's sake. vuux fingered IN England
Until after her rmarriage with
Prince Albert put IN end to his widest
hopes, and then returned to his native
hnd, Among his many gins was u
splendid voice, and the old ballad Of
