The II uston Telegram tells of 9
touching scene in court room, the
giants being Col. William r. Baker,
railroad fame, and Capt. Z. P.
Turner, once adjutsnt to Gen. Ma
gruder, afterwards Col. Bakers SON.
in-law, and now married to daughter
of Mrs. Van Alstyne. Capt. Turner
applied to Judge Masterson for writ
of habess corpus to William r. Baker,
citing HIM to show cause why he
should not give into the custody of the
former his child William 3. Turner,
| which was beng illegally held by him.
To this Col. 3 lker made answer that
the child was the only son of the relas
tor, E. P Turner, and his wife, Lucy
E, Baker, who was the only child OF
defendent and his wife, Hester E. B4-
ker, lately deceased. That the mother
died at the birth of the child some six
years ago, and ever since thst time II
had been, by aud with consent of the
reiator, in defendants custody and
that of his late wife; that the child
had formed attachments which, Il
broken now, would be dangerous to i
in its frail condition of health an6
weak constitution. The defendan
had arranged to have persons for whom
the child had already formed attach
ments, and who were friends of q!
parties, to take charge of his house anC
and child. Judge Masterson heard tn
defense, and decided that the law ant
the facts required the child to be turn
ed over to the custody of its father
the relator. at this point, says the Iele
gram, toe little boys nurses begal
weeping, and Mr.. B .ker went acros
the room to the child, and with tear
streaming down his checks, he kissed
the little boy goodbye, The seen
was one Of painful interest. Crow
men with tears standing in their eyes
the sobs of women mingled with th
walls of the child, who was of himsel
too young to appreciate the situation
but who, knowing that he was TO par
from those who had loved and caret
for him FROM birth to the presen
time, and the tears of others aff-cte
him by sympathy.

Pipe Leo XIII. has appointed Bishop
W. Fl. Elder to be coadiutor of Arch
bishop Purcell of Cincinnati, and this
is understood as virtually suspsnding
the Archbishop from the active work
of his Office. The discipline of the
church of Rome is always so regulated
as to avoid public scandal about its
clergy as much as possible, and it
would be we'll if the same practice pre-
vsiled in other denominations. The
action of the Pope, however, shows
that be is far from Indifferent to the
misconduct of Archbishop Purcell.
And here it may be remarked that the
millions lost by his financial faults and
blunders impoverished many coed
Catholics, including large portion of
the Irish in his diocese, so that they
are unable to contribute to the relief OF
the sufferers in Ireland. M doubt it
would bring some comfort tn the losers
if their money had gone, In whole or in
part, to help Ireland, instead of being
wasted in extravagznt finaneisl opera
tions

THE Il SSIAN IMP RIA L
Fla MILX.
The Dying Czarinu's DIstrust of Her
Husband.

'.The Duchess of Edinburgh" writes
the Paris correspondent of the Tribune,
81 am told, has cone from the South
of France laden with jewel caskets
which her dying mother brought with
her from st. Petersburg. In them
selves they constitute an Imperial for
tune. The Empress was afraid that if
she died the Emperor would give them
to his present favorite, who may here
after be raised to the throne. Eesalli-
ances are not rare in the history of the
Imperial family of Russia. Catharine
|. was peasant, and the 5ldest son of
the Gar was diSlnherited and shut u2
in IL onsstery to make way for her son.
Anne of Holstein Goitorp, who was
Duchess of CORTLAND before she came
in for the throne of all the Russias,
was in love with Marshal SAKE, the
great-grandfather of George Sand and
the natural son of August of Saxony
and Aurora Kenigsmark. They were
betrothed to each other and would have
been married had not an accidental
circumstance brought to light an smo-
rous adventure of the rough-snd-ready
soldier. While counting Duchess Anne,
then helr-spparent to the crown of
Muscovy, he conceived passion for
maid of honor. The pair used to meet
In a garden-house, and their Irritation
went on many months. But as they
were in the trystIng-place ON an October
night, frost set in. Ia trying to return
to the palace they had several falls,
and in the courtyard the maid of honor
broke her arm and Marshal s Ike his leg.
Pain obliged them to cry out for help.
The adventure came to the ears of the
Duchess, who instructed her courtiers
to play rough pranks on her sutton,
whom, when he asked for en- explana-
ton, she dismissed with contumely.
The Dcke and Duchess of Edinburgh
have been entertained at dinner by Lord
Lyons. The Duchess of Manchester,
Prince Otloff and the different mem
bers of the British Embassy were asked
to meet them. Her Imperial and Royal
Highness, when last at Cannes, made a
pilgrimage to the mortusry chapel of
her eldest brother, the Czrewitch
Nicholas, who died there in 1868 It
is small Byzantine structure. A car
pet worked in Berlin wool and ordinary
cross stitch Is spread before the altar.
The pattern of this piece of decorative
nesdlswork is common and the color
ing is crude, Around the chapel there
is pleasure ground planted with cy-
press and myrtle. When the latter is
in blossom Towering sprays plucked
from 1t are seLt to the Empress, whose
heart was wrapped up in her eldest SON.

name occurs in the record of 1862,
which mentions that Edward vi. had

being likewise of iron gilt, with two

may readily be supposed to have been
of rude execution. The first great I'M
provement, the substitution of springs
for weights, was in 1860. The earliest
springs were not coiled, but only
straight pieces of steel. Early watches
had only one hand, and being wound
up twice day they could not be ex-
pected to keep the time nearer than
fifteen or twenty minutes in the twelve
hours. The disls were of silver or

were four o, five inches IN diameter.
