The emperor of Prussia is in his
S4th year, and is remarkably well
preserved. 1t is said that he looks
twenty wears older than when at
Neutrality-suspicious. eight years ago.
His height is six feet six; he had a
fine military figure, and did not
appear to be over 60 or 81; but he
has grown heavier and stouter: his
face is full of wrinkles, and old age
is also crushing him down in sta
ture, for he does not look as tall
as formerly by several Inches.
When he reached his 10Th birth
day he promised his faithful ply
sician that if he would carry him
through to so he would make him
A count sr baron. Reaching 50
hale and hearty, he again promised
the faithful disci pie Of Esculapius
that if he would extend his life ten
years more he would make him a
prince. Appearances indicate that
the physician will receive the
promised title.

THE COURTS.
District Court.
before Judge YOung.1

Watson s. Barthelow VS.. N. r. Thompson,
still on trial. The evidence adduced Yesterday
has greatly increased the interest in the case
Hitherto the plaintiffs have been almost utter
ly unable to introduce anything which could
be easily construed into proof of an act of in
territorial fraud upon the part of Mr.. Har-
wood. The testimony of Mr. A. T..
Morse certainly has the appearance of being
exceedingly damaging to the cause of the de-
tense. Mr.. Morse had been in charge of one
of the departments of Mr.. Harwood's store.
He had been vested with the exclusive charge
of all purchases made for his department. This
was virtually his provocative. But during the
month Of September last, Mr.. Harwood sud
denly voluntarily began to figure in this par
He told Morse to order at
once seventy-five dozen white shirts. Morse
did not think it practicable. He insisted that
they already had even too large stock on
hand. A few days subsequent Mr.. Aarwood
repeated the request to have the order made.
Again Morse demonstrated. Harwood de-
manded it in positive terms, and Morse was
forced to comply-but under protest.
HARDWOOD, at this time, entered as an excuse,
that his New York purchaser, Mr.. Ingram,
through whom all goods were bought, was
expected to come home on the first of the
following month, and he wanted him to
supervise the purchase. Morse then drafted
the order, and on the following day went to
enter it on the proper book, when to his utter
amazement, he beheld an order in Harwood's
handwriting for 500 dozen shirts. He sent the
order, but did not copyit into the order-book.
On another occasion an immense order for
rubber goods was sent, and in the season OF
the year when there was actually little demand
for them. Again, a large stock of mosquito
netting was ordered. These goods could not
be sold until the next summer. Mr.. Morse
also testified that MIR. Harwood had never
before interfered in any manner with
his department, and further, that he had on
one occasion gone into the countlng-room of
the store and accosted Mr.. HARDWOOD upon the
subject. Mr.. HARDWOOD at once asked him to
step aside with him, when he privately told
him that he did not wish anyone to know any
thing in relation to it-not even his clerks
but the reason for the procedure was simply
because he anticipated rise In freight tariff
and in the price of the goods.

For several years past-ever since the
crusade-the people of Ohio have been
agitated on the subject of the manufac-
ture and sale of intoxicating liquors. The
late Republican State convention was
forced to take some action on the subject
and consequently resolved:
That the public interests require that the
general assembly should submit to a vote of
the people such amendments to the constitu.
ton of the State relative to the manufacture,
sale and use of intoxicating liquors as shall
leave the whole matter to legislation.
This is what Capt. Cutter would call
''an opinion as is an opinion" 1t simply
asks the legislature to pass law asking
the people TO leave the question precisely
where it is at present. Only this and
nothing more.

only what will be best for the people, but

The contempt with which ex-Sen-
ator Platt has been treated ever
since his election to the SEN
ate, and more particularly since
his resignation of that office Jointly with
MIR. Conkling. Is easily attributed to the
fact that he was tub of rather small di-
mansions in his own olin-
ion, and could not stand ON
his own bottom As business
man he has been successful in a hi-h de-
gree; as a politician he has relied almost
entirely upon others for direction as to
his course. Early in his career as poll
tician he took Conkling as his guiding
star, and has ever been turning his face
towards that luminary for direction as to
his course. The GLOBE does not seek to
disparage Mr.. Conkling's political sa-
gacity. He has proved himself man of

judgment. But he is not infallible, as

his recent course has proven. He has
succeeded in making himself cordially
hated by fully one-half his party, but as
by doing so he has caused split in the
party he is still entitled to the thanks of
those who wish to see reform in the adj
ministration of federal affairs. He has,
besides, succeeded in making a laughing
stock of Platt for the whole country.
That individual is spoken of almost uni
versally as the tail to the Conkling kite.
an appendage to the coat-tails of the
senior Senator, and as "Me too, Platt"-
all intended to convey contempt for him
because he has chosen to act with his col
league in most important crisis in the
history of the country.
Mr.. Platt no doubt felt himself equally
aggrieved with Conkling at the Presi-
dents action in appointing Rob-
ertson to the New York collector
ship of customs The mistake he
made was in not stating his own griev-
ance independent of his colleague, and
acting accordingly. By associating him
self so intimately with Conkllng he sur
rendered his own individuality and be-
came part of-an appendage to- Conk-
ling He was tub that did not stand
on its own bottom.
MI Plat is not man to be despised.
He may be thrown overheard by his party
at the present juncture for the reason
that his course has inspired the contempt
of his adversaries. But he will come to
the surface again atno distant day. He is
no doubt CALLED by his treatment, and will
seek vindication at the hands of the
people, and those who know HIM will
not be slow to espouse his cause, especial
ly as public sympathy is generally on the
side of the under dog in the fight. Plat
will "bob up serenely" when people least
expect it.

SOME idiotic newspaper correspondents
at Washington and Albany are asserting
that Conkling intends, if defeated in his
present contest for return to the Senate
from New York, to become the Demo-
cratic candidate for President in 1884.

the Democrats will, no doubt, be thank
full to Mr.. Conkling for whatever assist

Presidential campaign, it is not at all
likely that they will adopt him, the most
