A Handsome Testimonial.

The resolutions recently adopted by
John A. RawIins Post, No. l. G. A. R., upon the re-
tirement of Comrade Charles Z. Joyce from the
Office of post commander, have been handsomely
engroSsed and illuminated and presented to Com
rade joyce The work of engrossing was done by
Mr.. Ernest Schmid, of the Surgeon Generals Of
flee. The design is most ingenious and the execu-
ton artistic. The drum in one corner represents
the first implement of warfare used by Comrade
Joyce The flag in another corner represents the
banner he carried and was wounded under on the
famous field of Gettysburg. There is also a
representation of the shoulder-straps of cap
tain of infantry and the rank badge of a
commander in the Grand Army of the Re-
public and the Second Army Corps badge.
On the scroll, which forms the border, is list of
battles in which the recipient participated The
list reads like a brief history ofthc Army of the
Potomac from its organization, under Mcclellan
until it was disbanded, under Grant
Commander N. E. Urell made the presentation
speech, and referred in iattering terms to the
manner in which his predecessor, Comrade joyce,
had conducted the affairs of the post duringi the
year. Past Commander Joyce replied, thanking
his associates for the handsome present. Nothing
that you could give would please me more than
this expression of your goodwill and fellowship"

A DEBTORS PRIVILEGES,
Two Important Points Settled by J.dge
Observation-Disclosures Seized Goods.

In the case Of Wallingsford vs. Bennett,
which was an action of replevin by an execution
debtor against a constable for seizing goods
claimed to be exempt from levy by virtue of the
exemption laws of the District, Judge Macarthur
in the Circuit Court, has rendered decision of
considerable importance. The case came up on an
agreed state Of facts upon which was submitted to
the court two questions of law. First, whether
clause in lease waiving all rights under the ex-
emption laws was binding upon the leasee; and
second, whether action of replevin would lie
in this District by the debtor in execution against
Rconstable for seizing property exempt from levy
His honor decided that inaSmuch as the exemp-
lion laws had been passed as a matter of public
policy, and as much if not more for the benefit of
the dependent family of the debtor as for the
debtor himself, it not such personal privilege
as could be waived. II was not the intention of
the law that an improvident head of family
should have the power, by making such waiver to
deprive his wife and children of the protection of
The law, and the court must therefore hold
Hny waiver of rights under the exemption
law to be imperative and void, as against
public policy. As TO the second point his honor
said that il should be remembered that the rule
That goods taken in execution could not be re-
pleTfed by the execution debtor originated when
there existed no exemption laws, and when all
that the debtor possessed liable to be taken in
fectly proper that the debtor should not be al
lowed 10 reple7y that which the law had said was
fable 70 be levied on but the passage of the ex-
smption law had necessarily modified the rule.
The statute expressly and in the most mandatory
manner declared that certain property of the
debtor should not be taken in execution, and if a
constable or even the marshal of the District levied
on such property the court considered the writ of
repleyin as not only proper but indeed the only
adequate remedy. The action of trcspaSS did not
afford such a remedy as the debtor should have
He was entitled to an immediate return of the
goods Suppose the tools or implements of the
debtors trade had been LEVIED on, to take them
from him would deprive him probably of employ
ment and the means disappearing his family; be-
sides there was nothing to prevent judgment of
damages obtained in an action of trespaSs from
being attached by some other creditor. Judgment
was given for the plaintiff one cent damages and
costs.

.The Pirates of Pcnzance.,

The performance of "The Pirates of
Penzance" at Ford's Opera House was most en-
joyable one in every respect, principally so be-
cause of the excellent orchestration. The original
score was kindly loaned by Mr.. D'Oyley Carte and
the large orchestra, under the direction of Dr. Ed
ward s. Kimbaii, rendered the music more effect
lively than has been heard before in this city. In
handling the orchestra DR.. Kimbal gave full evi-
dence of his superior capacity as a conductor Miss
Eva Mills fully sustained her well-earned reputa-
ton by her exquisite imperSoraion of the role Of
Mdbd, both as TO hersinging and acting Miss Alex
ander, who for the first time appeared in
Opera,:was q most successful Ruth, her full rich
contralto fulfilling the requirements of the vocal
score and her acting being natural and effective.
Mr.. Ed Hay as the Major General, Mr.. B. U. Keyser
as the Pirate KIag and Mr.. Frank Pearson as the
Police Sergeant, all sustained the respective parts
well. The object for which the performance was
given, the Central Free Dispensary, was one
which appeals strongly to our citizens, and it is
believed that another performance could be given
which would add largely to the fund at its dis
posal.
