BILLS OF COST.
The Supreme Court Decides That
the Attendance Of Q Witness
Must BE sworn 70 ia
Open C0urt.

In the ease of Thomas Lancaster,
in error, against the State, on a motion
to retax costs, the Supreme Court on
the 9TH delivered an opinion reversing
The decision of the DeKalb county
Circait coaFt. The following extract
is made from the opinion, which was
delivered by Judge Mcfarland:
The defendant moved 70 strike out
the attendance Of the States wit
nssses. including the mileage and
turnpike fees, upon the ground that
they had not proved their attendance
before the clerk, as required by law
On this motion, the clerk testified
that he had not sworn the witnesses,
but merely took their statements as
to the time they bad attended, mile
age, ETC., and taxed their costs ac-
eordipgly. The circuit judge ever
ruled this motion, and, we think,
enormously.
The code, section 1894, previles
that the witness for the State shall
prove his attendance ia open court by
oath before the clerk, that he has not
directly or indirectly procured himself
to be summoned as a witness; that he
was legally summoned as a witness.

half Of the State, and has verify at.

Two Kind Hearts.

Mr.. Taine's Speech before the Academy
There was an old Chief de Bureau
at the Ministry Of Finance; silent,
brusque and sometimes a title surly.
Related to Madame Recamier, and
introduced to her salon in early youth,
he had a sort of worship for her. In
order to remain as much as possible
with her, he lived just in front of her
house in Rue de Seyres, and when he
did not see her he saw at least her
windows. For thirty years the great
interest Of his life was to learn every
morning if she were gay or sad. to run
errands for her during the day and
dine at her table at night. She lost
her sight and had no one to read to
her; he offered his services, which
we're accepted. The first sittings
were trying, for he read so vol
ubly that she had a difficulty in fol-
lowing him. Not to cause him pain,
Madame Reeamier pretended to I'M
derstand him, and patiently listened.
At the end ofseveral weeksshe found,
to her surprise, that he had slackened
his pace, that his faults Of propuncia-
ton had disappeared and that he read
better-then that he read well. With
out being told by any one, instructed
by his heart still more than by his
mind, he had ~preceived his shortcom-
ings, The old man of seventy had
gone to school again. Every morning
he went secretly to a reading master,
and when he returned hepracticed for
several hours. Thus, by force of toll,
he had overcome the most tenacious
habits-a physical failing-and one
contracted by the use Of a lifetime.

The protectionists are very anxious
to have the subject Of tariff revision
referred to a special commission, the
special commissioner hold conferences
with and be guided by the protect
ed manufacturers. Such a commits
sion would fool away several months,
or perhaps years, Of time, aud then
report that it would injure the manu-
facturers to revise, and that it is not
advisable to do anything with the tar
if. We protest against such a packed
commission. Let congressman who
favor a reduction of tariff duties to a
revenue basis devote themselves to an
assault of the tariff abuses one after
another, and secure their abolition, as
in the case Of the quinine tax. Let
them attack the salt tax, the steal tax,
the paper tax and other obnoxious
features, and in reducing them they
will be performing a work of substan-
tial value to the country.

SARA BERNHARDT.
A ChaHming Little story by the
Great French Actress.

The literary talk Of Paris has cen
tralized itself lately on a remarkable
newspaper, Paris Mureie, of which
100000 copies at one franc were sold
on the first day, 1000 at twenty francs,
aud 1900 at three francs. 1t was
gotten up for the benefit Of the mum
dated populations Of Paris, and has
already realized nearly a million of
francs. The writers were kings,
queens. and reiRning princes, the
great statesmen and political men Of
Europe. and every French author and
artist of aDy note. One Of the most
marked contributions, was that OF
Sara Bernhardt. Of which the follow
ing is a translation:
IAN the fairies were gathered to-
gether around the cradle of a child.
The father and mother were listening,
with emotion and respect, to the
wishes of each fairy. Child. thou
shalt be beautiful, great and perfect
in body thou shalt wear golden
crowns and be a hero the crowd shall
acclaim thee thy admirers shall drag
thy chariot thou shalt make them
.augh, weep, tremble and shudder f;
poets shall shed their pearls at thy
feet: musicians shall tune their Tyres
to sing thy praises thou shalt be
loved by a hundred heRoines poison
and the dagger shall be ~powerless
against thee thyrenown shall traverse
mountains and seas.
1.-THE mother had fallen on her knees
to thank the fairies, but the door
opened brusquely, and the fairy OF
eternal glory appeared.
81 can not she said. take the
presents of my sisters; but, in order to
punish you for your forgetfulaess
here is my wish: The crown of gold
shall be crowns of cardboard; he shall
laugh, he shall weep, he shall live but
by the will Of another; even those
who have acclaimed him shall cruelty
refuse him the distiRcEiye sign given
TO the elite Of citizens; tbe people
whose idol he shall be shall break him
in the fullness of his glory, and DRAG
him, all quivering with theapplause o.
yesterday, behind the chariot Of it
new hero, his laurels shall change OF
his head to immortelles, aud he shall
die in sadness and oblivion. leaving
nothing, nothing behind him.
"'What will he be, then?' cried the
terrified father.
"'He will be a cOmediaul
