though business has not been suspended,
save at the bank, there is q sort OF holiday
appearance To the streets. At this writing

WASHINGTON, December 30.-The dis
position Of the members OF the United
States Supreme Court is to deny the mo
ton made last week by Senator Edmunds
to advance on the docket the legal.tende
suit. The Justices feel that, no matter
how the SUIT may be decided, 1t will create
diversified sentiment; and again, feeling
that the case is imposed upon them merely
as makeshiit, and is before them in the
sense OF an accommodation only, major
ity OF the Court are 10th 10 take It up in
view Of the Bayard resolution now pend
ing. The Justices are not unmindful ol
the criticism passed upon the court
when the Legal.tendcr Act was first argued
at the December Term, in 1869, and again
two years later.
There are now three new members oil
the Court, viz: Chief Justice Waite,
Justice Huntand Justice Harlan. Justice
Hunt being incapacitaled for duty, there
remain only eight members. on the Jus
tices, Clifford and Field heard both argu.
ments, and are already known TO be com.
mitted against the legality OF the legal len.

members who heard the argument in the
legal tender case at the December term Of
the Court in 1870, Justices Miller,
Swayne, Strong and Bradley are on re.
cord as sustaining the validity OF that act
for certain purposes. The opinions OF
Chief Justice Waite and Justice Harlan
have never been evoked without drawing
o parallel.
1t is said that a majority OF the Justices,
il not the entire number, are averse to in
volving the court, at the present time, in
consideration OF question in advance
which is fraught with political issues, and
that, too, upon the eve Of Presidential
election. The fact that the case must come
up some time, ii is said, does not bear up
on the motion submitted for its advance.
ment now. The very purpose OF the mo.
tion is 10 obtain final decision upon the
validity Of the issue by the government oil

which are known, by the record submit

The decision Of the Lower Court in this
case being only pro .torma. that, in con-
nec,ion with tho possibility Of an evenly
divided court upon tho opinion sought,
has given rise TO the report that the mo-
ton OF Senator Edmunds will be denied.

special punishments for persons convicted
OF propagating Nihilist doctrines among
the troops. Alta review OF some Of the
regiments OF the guard yesterday the Em'
peror made speech to the troops, ex.
pressing the conviction that they will
serve the Czarovtch rs faithfully as they
had served him. The Emperor then
saluted the Czarovitch.
Alta dinner given on the anniversary oil
the crossing Of the Balkans, the Emperor
entered the hall leading the Czarovina
and accompanied by the Czarovitch. The
foregoing is interesting in connection with
the recent sensational report Of violent
disagreements between the Emperor and

wEnOtire from report furnished the
Cumberland Meus, that the railroad meet
inr advertised to be held at Moorefield,
last Tuesday, was well attended, and the
sentiment OF those present was unani-

which first appeared in the Baltimore

ip favor Of this road is stirring up the par
ties interested in securing other railroad
lines opening up the Hardy county min

that some one OF the railroad projects now
talked Of, and in the completion Of which

Scientific Miscellany.

Prof. Palmieri considers it proven
that great earthquakes are always pre-
oeded by a season of preliminary earth
tremblings He believes that by
means Of GEOGRAPHICALLY connected
stations for observing these tremblings
it would be possible to foretell earth
quakcs just as storms are now fore
told, and to issue warnings to all
threatened districts three days in nd
vance.
During a recent boring for water in
the Wimmera district, Victoria, a tree
was passed through for a distance of
six feet at depth of $50 feet. Sew
eral fruit stones were thought to the
surface. At some period in the worlds
history grove of trees is supposed to
have occupied this subterranean spot,
and the great depth of earth now Gov
ering the remains of the vegetation
indicates q vast lapse of time since it
fourished.
A French savant has made careful
comparative analysis of the statistical
tables of suicides for France and
Sweden. He finds that they establish
two laws, viz: that widowers commit
suicide more frequently than married
men, and that the existence and pres
ence of children III the house dimin-
ishes the inclination to suicide, both i'll
men and in women.
Prof Dufour, of Paris, has devised
a thermometric apparatus which is so

caused by the entrance of person

A new process of obtaining stereo-
type plates for printing has been dis
covered by NJ. Emile Jeanin, sculp-
tor of Paris, who proposes TO employ
for that purpose the material known as
celluloid. The process of preparation
takes only half an hour, when the
matter is once in type, and the plates
thus produced are remarkably adapted
for working on cylinder presses run
ming at high speed, being very light,
flexible and durable. In this last re-
spect they are said to even surpass
metal plates.
At a recent Berlin bird show sew
sral canaries were exhibited which at
tracted much attention on account of
tho peculiar colors of their plumage
Some were green, others red and light
brown, and others of soft gray tint,
while all differed more or less from
tho light yellow of the common bird.
These variations of color were pro
duoed by the daily use of cayenne
pepper in the food of the birds. The
pepper is given in small quantities at
first, and the birds appear to like it.
The immediate effects are, however,
anything but pleasing to the beholder,
for the feathers soon be gin to fall,
giving the bird the appearance of
melting, but in short time new
