Loves Young Dream.

A very beautiful and accomplished girl on the South Side, says the Chicago Tribune
 whose only fault, according to the young man upon whose affections she has fastened, is an unnatural and morbid appetite for oysters and theatre tickets, recently came near losing the faithful creature whose clothes she soon expects to have the wifely privilege of trading of for china dogs. The other evening, as they were returning from the theatre, the young lady passed the time talking gleefully of the future, and picturing the happy time that would follow their nuptials. 'fYou will come home just as soon as ever you can, Charley, and will have your slippers all ready for you, and then we can get supper 8 nest, can't we?" An attentive listener might have heard the cracking of a shirt bosom as Charley heaved sigh at this unus- ual scheme of married life, but, choking back his emotion and large chew of tobacco which he had taken on the quiet, the young man looked at the beautiful fraud and said: ''See here, sis, I'll stake another fellow for enough to keep you in suppers and theatre tickets for the balance of the season, and let him fulfill my schedule, but my notion is that we had better part. What is home without supper?" The girl saw that she had bluffed at the wrong time, but artfully fell on his neck and said she only did it to try him; that she admired nothing so much as 8 man who knew his rights and would stand up for them. His answer had endeared him to her more than ever, and she could never, never let him go. Here was great chance for the young man to break the sirens chains forever, but he was not equal to the occasion, and Q portion of his hard earned salary will soon be paid to @ preacher for making them one.

Fortunes Recently Made.


 Enormous fortunes have been made in New York during the last few months in the stock market. We heard of one gentleman who has cleared $7OO, 900 by his speculations, of another wto pocketed cool $15O O00 of a judge who has made $6O OOO and here in Troy we know of some who have been ex- tremely fortunate in their operations But it IS not in stocks alone that money has been rapidly made. Almost every variety of prop erty has gone up in value, so that everybody feels richer than he was before, and conse- quently happier. But it is sad fact tbat as wealth has been gained. so has extravaganza increased, and in @ ratio out of all proportion in most cases to the money made. Thus the Telegram tells us-young hsskers, who 2 year ago, had hard work to meet the modest de- mands of laEdladies, shoemakers, tailors, washwomen and the like, now indulge in the most profuse expenditures. They live in luxurious apartments, dress in English clothes, dine on the best of the land, drink the most costly wines and smoke the most expensive cigars. Quite number of new equipages, dog carts, T carts and coupes have been start ed on the strength of successful down town speculations. Some are based on stocks, some on grain, some on pig tin, some on lead some on real estate. etc., but they all repre- sant the general advance in values. New houses and apartments are being expensvely furnished. Fashionable tailors, dressmakers and milliners never were so busy. One Fifth avenue tailor boasts of having made 119 dress suits for his regular clientele since the open ing of the fall season. It is a notable fact that in all matters pertaining to dress, both men aud women, among the well to do class es, now choose the most expensive articles. Economy is no longer the order of the

May Jurors Eat and Drink!

Apropos of the jury drinking wine during the trial of the seven bishops, it is stated in 1 Inst. 227, that "when the evidence is given the jury are to be kept together till they bring in their verdict, without speech with any, and without meat or drink, fire or candle, other wise than with leave of the court, by consent of the parties and the court may give them leave to eat or drink at the bar, but not out of court" If jurymen, after being sworn, either before or after they are agreed of the verdict, eat and drink, the verdict may be good but they are finable but if it be at the charge of either parties the verdict is void. Old Dyer mentions case where the judge was informed that the jury had eaten food after they had retired, and he found that they had had some s'pippins," of which some confessed that they had eaten, but others said they had not. His lordship severely reprimanded them all, and fined those who had eaten twelve shilEings each, and those who had not, six shilliugs each, ssfor that they had them C. c., the ap- ples) in their pockets" h Hillary Term, 6 Henry VIII, it appeared by motion in the Court of Queens Bench that in case tried before Lord Chief Justice Reed, the jury, af- ter being locked up and before giving their verdict, had eaten and drank. The Chief Justice fined them heavily, but took their yer dict An application was made in term to set aside the verdict for irregularity, the jury having eaten when they ought to have lasted and another motion was made to have the mes 1nulCteu upOu tuo JurOHs HehAsCeO.

The court held the fines to have been properly inflicted, but did not dis turb the verdict.
 In Iowa, lately, it was decided that the drinking of two glasses of beer by juror, pending trial, after the adjournment. of the court and eleven hours before another session, did not vitiate the verdict nor does the taking by juror, during the trial, of 0 small quanti- ty of intoxicating liquor, for medicinal pur- And in other States the taking of spirituous refreshments is not of itself sufficient ground for setting aside verdict nor even though the drinking was in saloon and with the sheriff.

 EAST HAVEN Jan. %.
 cut:
 GENTLEMEN On the 25th day of Septem- Der, 1879, there was admitted to your abode for the sick Charles H. Talmadge an orphan On the 9th of October he was supposed to have died. on the 7th supposed to have been buried. On the 24th of November his re- mains were disinterred and removed to Madi- son, this State. the home of his nativity To your institution was paid by the Town Agent of Madison $6. 38 andto the town of New Haven $15 for his burial. On the arrival of the re- mains at Madison the body was examined by competent physician, before witnesses. The re- mains were found to have been thrust into rude box four inches too short, to have been dissected, and for winding sheet the poor orphan wore an old dirty shirt By the ap- pearance of the body. it's fatness and the ab- ssnce of gas, the stomach may not have ac- companied the corpse to its rough box recep- tacle.
 Now, gentlemen, the object of this open letter is to ask you by what authority the fatherless, motherless lads corpse was dissect- ed, for God and the writer knows you had no right! And why was not the poor boy given decent burial? Fifteen dollars would have given him good coffin, shroud, a hearse but instead my young friend was treated no better than I handled my aged dead dog when he departed to the dog realm.
 Young Talmadge had at his death, and now has, two young brothers living in this vicinity. These poor lads, poor because they are phans, maintain themselves and were in a condition to have taken charge Of their dead brothers remains had they been advised in time. During the illness of Charles they vis- tied him at the hospital, and had they been unable to perform the last sad duties in the burial of the gentle dead boy, his East Haven, Branford and Madison friends would havs seen that no rude box enclosed him, and these friends now ask you for an explanation.
 The public may ask. why did not the broth CTS of the dead one come in at the death and we answer, because the dead one was supposed to have been buried before the young lads were aware of their brothers death. Aud the writer will add that the treatment of the dead orphan in dissection and burial was damnsble. J. w. THoMPgoN.

An interesting question of judicial qualifca-
 ton has just been decided in Virginia. The
 fusion Legislature elected to the judicial
 bench one Thomas B. Clairborne, whereupon
 it was charged by General Jubal A. Early
 that he was 8 professional gambler, who
 played with marked cards, and was in the
 habit of using '1izard'-that is to say,
 mechanical contrivance of wire, concealed
 within the coat sleeve, for holding cards and facilitating their transfer to the hand. There
 was considerable discussion in the House over the question. It was not denied that Clair
 borne gambled for living before he was ele- vated to the bench, and was frequently intoxi- cated, but it was agreed that the charge that he used marked cards or had ever been caught with '1izard' up his coat-sleeve was not proven, and he was left in undisturbed pos session of the seat from which he is to dis pense law and justice.
 A sentence has just been pronounced by the Civil Tribunal of Paris which will probably affect the business of French matri- monial agents. The circumstances were as follows: At the age of sixty-seven General Baron de Juniac, who had long been a widow CT, retired from the service, and shortly af- terward, through the medium of Mime. Moreau and Mime. Starck, was placed in com munication with Mmo. Pre-Regnier, having first of all signed an engagement to hand over per cent. of the dowry to the house of Moreau & Starck. The nuptial ceremony was July performed, and the sum of 5000 francs was paid in bills. Unfortunately, the match turned out badly. Both parties declared that hey had been deceived. The lady found that 'he had married an invalid, and the Baron 'ound that his wife, instead of having dow y, was deeply in debt. The consequence was hat when the bills came due the Baron re- used to pay; and hence an action on the part of the matrimonial agents. The court, putting aside the question of the dowry. which 1ever existed, found for the defendant on the ground that to assimiIate marriage to a pure operation, in which an intermedi- Try agent is inspired by the spirit of lucre and speculation, is to degrade it. Under these the court declared the bills 1uI1
