AN OPINION OF THE UNITED STATES
SUPREME COURT ON THE DE aoLYER
CASE.
From the World
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-A decision
rendered in 1875 by Justice Swayne of
the United States Supreme Court has
been called into prominence by the
fact that it settles the question ofGen.
Garfeld's position in the De Golyer
matter beyond a doubt, and exposes
the weakness and absurdity of the ar
guments employed by his adherents
in the vain hope of purifying his re-
cord upon the S., 900 fee matter. The
case in which this opinion of Justice
Swayne was rendered was that of Chit
tenden against Mcclellan and others.
1t was tried in Cook county, ILL.,, in
May, 1875, and was decided on appeal
in October, 1879, in the United States
Supreme Court. 1t may be said that
Jus tice Swayne is thorough Ropub-
lican and an Ohio man. The Supreme
Court opinion was delivered in the
case of Burke against Child, the case
of Chittenden against Mcclellan being
submitted on the arguments and briefs
filed in the former suit. Justice Swayne
says
"The agreement with Gen. Garfield, a
member Of Congress,to pay him 5000 as
a contingent fee for procuring a contract
which was itself made to depend upon a
future appropriation by Congress-which
appropriation could only come from
| committee Of which he was chairman
was a sale OF official influence, which no
veil can cover, against the plainest prin-
ciples of public policy. No counsellor
at-law while holding high office has
right to put himself in position of temp
tation, aud under pretence of making
| legal argument exert his official influ-
ence upon public officers dependent up
on his future action. Certainly the
courts of justice will never lend them
selves TO enforce contracts obtained by
such influence"
The effect Of this disclosure on the
men here who have endeavored in one
form or another to palliats Gen. Gar.
fields ofiense cannot be overestimated

A CLEVER KABUL GENERAL.

Here is an extract from the Piaajab.
There is very fine fellow here, q sort
of state prisoner, Daood Shah, the Kabul
general who, they say, tried to stop the
massacre of poor Cavagnaril. He is six
feet four inches high, and handsome,
Jewish looking man, like all Afgans.-
The officer in whose charge he is brings
him to the club to read the papers to him
sometimes, for he is o most interested
student of events, and very eager for tel
egrams. His comments on European
politics are amusing, though it is hard to
make him understand Radical and Tory,
and Russian Nihilism. Still, he is won
derfully well informed, and striking
contrast for mental activity and general
vigor to Indian swells. We want to get
him a Kriegspicl, or war game, for he is
an enthusiastic soldier, and q great stu
dent of hattles and plans thereof. We
make mistake in undertaking opponents
like these. He is out of it now, of course;
but he freely sriticises Gen. Roberts, and
points ont his mistakes. 1t is a pity to
keep a mountaineer like him down here
in the heat. We all say he should be
sent to Simla, to teach our commander
in-chief the art of war. These Afghans
are queer folk. He is the mildest man
that ever cut throat, and yet throat
cutting would como as easy to him as
saying his prayers. He prays devoutly
five times day."

DANGEROUS LIQUIDS. Ammonia, es-
pecially the stronger kinds is dangerous,
few drops being enough to injure a
person.-When used for cleansing pur-
poses it should be handled with great
care, that the gas, which is given off
freely in warm room, be not breathed
in large quantities, and do injury to the
delicate lining of the nose and mouth.
Benzine, is liquid, in the handling of
which caution should be exercised. 1t
is very volatile, and its vapor, as well as
the liquid itself, inhammable. When
employed for removing grease, or other
stains, from clothing, gloves, etc., it
should never be used at night, nor at any
other time near q fire. Ether is another
dangerous liquid, and in other than the
physicians hands it had best not be en-
ployed in the household. Alcohol must
also be used with great care, especially at
night.

AN ENORMOUS SPIDER.

When calling on Mr.. Bartlett at the
Geological Gardens, he kindly showed
me the most gigantic spider 1 ever saw
an enormous fellow, just about, if not
quite, as big as house sparrow with its
wings folded: When the spiders legs are
open he is indeed q most formidable
looking fellow. The whole of the body
is covered with dark red brown hair. 1t
is fed upon cockroaches, and Mr.. Bartlett
has observed that he spins threads across
the ground, in which the cockroaches get
entangled. He also will kill and suck
the blood of young mice. He seems es-
pecially fond of the brain of the mice
He is kept in glass case, the tempera-
ture of which is kept up by warm water.
The bite of the spider (Which comes from
South America) is said to be very injur-
ious to both man and beast. 1 think it
not impossible that this gigantic spider
would attack and kill humming birds.

A RACE ON STILLS.
HOW MEN AND WOMEN AMUsE THEMSELVES
AT ARCACHoN.

remember particularly certain silt
race, one of the oldest races that ever
saw. Six men and four women were
''entered," as the horsey men would say.
1t Arcachon the women share the exer-
cisss of the men. There were then on
the beach of Eyrac ten tchankas. In the
patois of the Landes, which one might
be tempted to confound with the Japan
ese or Chinese idioms, a tchanka is a
person mounted On stills, and sec tchan-
ka means to mount on stills. These ten
tchankas had all the same traditional
costume, without distinction of sex, that
is To say, beret on the head, q mantle
of WOOL over the shoulders, a buttoned
douolet, bare feet, and the legs envelop-
ed in a camano or fleece, fixed by red
garters. Their stills raised them five or
six feet from the ground. A pole served
them as third point of support Seen
from distance they looked like gigantic
g,asshoppers. The tchanka, however, is
seen to perfection on the bare lands mo-
tioness and fixed like solitary triangle,
at sunset, or else when he leans against
pine tree, silently knitting a stocking
and guarding black and lean flock
Stern and mute in the midst of the crowd
which was examining them with curiosity,
their thoughts were concentrated solely
on the race that they were about to dis
pute. The prize was not much. The
victor won twenty francs. But twenty
francs in the eyes of the tchanka repre-
sentl fortune. Soon, at signal given
by the president of the fete, they all ten
spread over the beach bowling and yel-
ling. If it had not been for their i'm
mense strides, which pass Imagination,
you might have thought that you were
present at an Arabian fantasia. Their
with the same rapidity, in conditions
whish touched upon the impossible, and
on ground where the stills sunk in foot
at each step. Their mantles streaming
in the wind like those of Arabian caval-
iers they ran and pivoted around as
defdy as if they had been on foot. The
women were by no means inferior to the
men; one of them in fact came in second,
and they were only to be distinguished
by their shriller cries.
This race was followed by some private
exercises performed by the tchankas in
ordG to provoke the generosity of the
spectators. They jumped, they sat down
ambrose up again, they picked up as they
ran pieces of money that were thrown to
them. The spectacle was not the least
extraordinary. Bouncing forward at full
speed, the man was suddenly seen to stop,
the stilts bent, fell as it were, to pieces,
then something was seen moving between
th1ee pieces of wood, like the body of |
spider in the middle of its long legs
The whole performance was done with |
rapidity, the stills rose again, |
and the man reappeared on the top of |
than and resumed his course.

CONSIDER q human soul without ed
ucdion like marble in the quarry, which
shows none of its inherent beauties until
the skill of the polisher fetches out the
col,rs, makes the surface shine, and dis
covers every ornamental cloud, spot, and
ven that runs through the body of it.
Edtcation, after the same manner, when
it yorks upon q noble mind, draws out
to view every latent virtue and perfection,
which, without such helps are never able
to make their appearance.
L my reader viii give me leave to
change the allusion so soon upon him, L
shal make use of the same instance to
illutrate the force of educa ton, which
Aristotle has brought to explain his doc
trim, of substantial forms, when he tells
us hat statue lies hid in block of
marole, and that the art of statuary only
cleas away the superf1uous matter and
remves the rubbish. The figure is in
storp, the sculptor only finds it. What
SCULPTURE is to block of marble, educa-
tionis to human soul. The philosoph-
er, the saint, or the hero, the wise, the
goo, or the great man. very often lies
hid nd concealed in plebeian, which a
proler education might have dlsenterred
and lave brought to light.

The origin of the phrase ''eating crow"
is appropriately revived in these conven-
ton days. An old farmer on the Hudson
below Albany took summer boarders to
exc out the profits of his farm. He sold
the best os his farm products, however,
and often palmed off on his boarders
''store" articles bought at lower price.
To their murmers he replied, ''I kin eat
anything, l kin eata crow" This remark
was repeated so often that one of the
guests finally shot q crow and got the
cook TO prepare it for dinner. Fearful,
however, that the farmer might have
stomach for even such dish, the bird
was literally seasoned, while cooking,
with Scotch snuff. The farmer was rath-
er taken back when the dish was placed
before him, but had too much pluck to
give in beaten without a trial, and attack
ed the bird with the remark, ST kin do
it." At the second bite he repeated, 81
kin eat crow" and, as he suddenly sus
pended the operation of cutting the third
mouthful, and began retreat toward the
door, he added, ''but dang me if 1 hank

Hw TO DEAL WITH Rats. A writer in
the 'cientific American says: We clean
our lremises of these detestable vermin
by mixing whitewash yellow with cop
pera and covering the stones and rafters
in til cellars with it. In every crevice
in witch rat may go we put the crystals
of tie copperas and scatter in the corners
of IL, floor. The result was a perfect
stan1ede of rats and mice. Since that
timenot football of either rats or mice
has been around the house. Every
Sprig coat of the yellow wash is given
the ollar, as a purifier, as a rat extermi-
natoi and no typhoid, dysentery or fe-
vers Ittacks the family. Many persons
delihrateiy attract all the rats in the
neiglborhood by leaving fruits and vege-
table uncovered in the cellar, and some
timeseven the soap is left open for their
regiment. Cover up everything eat
ablep the cellar and pantry, and you
will son starve them out. These pre-
cautns, joined to the service of good
cat, sll prove as good rat exterminator
as th chemist can provide. We never
allo~ats to be poisoned in our dwelling,
they're so apt to die between the walls
and roduce much annoyance.

tThe Coroner.

How TO LIVE FOR A CENTURY.-The
experience of the French clergyman,
Canon Beadon, who lately died at the
age of 102 years, offers few suggestions
to those who seek to know how they may
attain to long life. He ate anything with
impunity, not only eating heartily at
every meal, but often nibbling biscuits,
etc, between meals. He drank moder-
ately Of wine, and was to the last very
fond o. sweet things. He never knew
what headache or rheumatism was, and,
when a middle-aged man. could and
would go out shooting from morning
until night, exposed with no ill-effect to
cold and wet. At 81 he had the first
severe illness of his life-an attack of
bronchitis. Up to this time he had per-
formed service in his church every Sun
day, with his regular three months duty
in Wells Cathedral, his voice continuing
distinct and powerful. To the day of his
death he never lapsed into anything like
''second childishness. Possibly the
explanation of his very long and healthy
life lies in this He had a most imper-
turbable temper and singularly even
spirits, and would not allow anything to
worry him. He had many an entertain
ing remembrances; not the least of them
was the being held up to the window by
his nurse to see the soldiers in the street
during the Lord George Gordon riots.
This was in $780, the future canon was
