A Fable-The Lion and the Jackals.

One day troop of Jackals were as
tonished beyond measure at the appear
ance of Lior in their midst, and their
surprise could not be imagined when his
countenanee assumed pleasant express
sion and he remarked:
Friends, | have come to settle
among you and be neighbor. l want
to bs friendly with each and every one
and think well of all, and / trust we
shall dwell together in harmony"
Hooray! for the Lioni Hurrah for
the old man-killer!" cheered the jack
ais, and they were tickled to death at
their good luck.
But the Lion had scarcely got his den
in order when one of the Jackals came
sneaking in and began:
"I-I-that is-delicate subject, you
know embarrassed, you see-ah--
hum"
my friend, # you have anything to
say to me be at your >ase,' replied the
Lion.
"Well, simply wanted to drop you
hint. Don't be too sweet on John
Jackal. His great grandfather was ban
ished for cause, and his wife's second
cousin is a wall-eyed villain"
The Lion received the information
without remarks, and the caller went
away, chuckling over the idea that he
had sowed good seed. Next day a
second Jackal appeared, beat around
the hush for q while, and then OBJ
served:
81 feel it my duty to warn you against
Joe Jackal, who lives over the creek.
He beats his wife, cheats his neighbors.
and is a double back-action hypocrite
by the watch"
Soon another appeared with similar
| story about some one else in the COM
| munity, and in the course of fortnight
the Lion felt it his duty to call a public
meeting. When the Jackals had gath
cred around him he said:
81 find, by your own statements, that
you are a community of thieves, liars.
dead-beats and swindlers, and hence
forth you can fight your own battles
and hunt your own bones. Sneaks,
skulks and vagabonds, farewellr'

How the United States Supreme Court
Is Opened.

To begin with, there is degree OF
dignity and stately bearing about the
Court and its members which permeates
even to the most humble attGche. There
is quiet in the courtroom which recalls
the Sabbath of the Covenanters. When
one enters, the involuntary feeling
comes ON that the room is set aside only
for the contemplation of the sober side
of life, and woe to him who jlbes or
jokes in the presence of the court. The
Court is opened about this fashion: At
twelve o clock (noon) the Justices come
in from the consulting room and take
their seats on the bench. Away to the
left of the chamber is seen youthful
officer, whose business is to catch the
first glimpse of the advancing Judges.
Then comes three raps with q ponder
Gus gavel by the same officer. This is
meant as a signal for the audience to
rise. Then. with the Chief Justice in
advance, the Judges enter from the
right of the chamber. To the rear of
the Justices seats is an aisle. In the
center is an arched entrance for the
Chief Justice. Through this aisle the
Judges file and take position on the
right and left. None enter until the
Chief Justice emerges from the center
entrance. After all have fled in, the
Chief Justice makes graceful obeisance
to the standing audience. Then the
Justices take seats, stroke of the
gavel is made and the audience seats it.
self. The opening of the Court falls
upon q youthful officer. It is after the
old English form. 30, yea; oh, yea" :"
etc., and concludes with the words,
"God bless the honorable Supreme
Court" The court is now ready for
business. All the Justices are clad in
black silk gowns with an ecclesiastical
cut. In the despatch Of business the
Chief Justice is quite expeditions. He
is always ready with o reply to q ques-
ton, and eminently satisfactory. The
Justices ON the bench assume different
attitudes. Justice Miller sinks down
low in his chair. and but little can be
seen of him but the top of his head; so
also does Justice Bradley. The Chief
Justice sits erect most of the time when
not hearing an argument, busy in con-
sulting the calendar. Judge Harlan is
the most striking in appearance Of any
Of the Judges. He is tall, well built and
sits erect Washington Star.

ON THE OUTER
Is again the proud banner OF the b. &
o., aud by another happy stroke Of
enterprise goes to the front

The Baltimore and Ohio having perfec-
Improvements it has been making of late,
announces a change in its time schedule to
go into effect on the 22d instant. Under
this new schedule the time between Chica-
60 and the East is greatly lessened. The
afternoon fast line which formerly left a
4:05 now leaves at 5:l5, arriving at New
York at $40 the second morning. This is
a solid train rnnning through to Washing
ton, Baltimore, Philadelphia and New
York without change Of cars of any Glars
whatever. The B. & o. is the the only line
offering this great advantage, as by other
lines changes of cars are made except Sleep
ers. The great convenience of the entire
train running through without change
m nst be more apparent 10 those who have
been forced to change cars at unreasonable
hours of the night and in many ways been
put to no little trouble in getting their
families and baggage from one train to an.
other. There is nothing of this on the B.
& o. for if one 30 shooses the car that he
takes in Chicago he may remsin in until
he reaches New York city. As all the
eastern lines run trains leaving Chicago At
5:15, il il interesting to note that the B.
& o. train leaving at that hour reaches
Washington a whole night in advance of
the 5:15 trains on competing roads-or in
other words, those who leave Chicago fer
Washington via the B. & o. reach there

lines they would not reach the National
Capital until the second morning. The

A National Disgrace.



The United States steamer Lam
caster, recently rebuilt at cost of
about $1,000 900, Is at last ready
for sea. Her hull is new; her EN-
gines, armament and everything
about her are new. In her recent
trip from Dsrtsmouth to New York
che developed q speed of less than
nine knots in a smooth sea. AS
the army and Navy Journal naive
~ remarks: "In ali other respects,
save the very important one of
speed, the new Lancaster may be
pronounced success" The defect
alluded to is of such u nature is to
far overshadow all other good
qualities the ship may possess. A
ship that cannot steam fast enough
to get steerage way in rough sea
Is of no Use whatever, and 1T Is
nothing less than Disgrace to the
country and humiliation to the
officers and crew of the Lancaster
to send her over to Europe,
Nearly one million dollars has
been wasted to create a LnonstrOsi-
ty, and the parties responsible for
this scandal should be dismissed
from the service. Rank stupidity
and ignorance appear to prevail as
much az ever in the Bureau Of
Construction and Steam Engineer
ing. The Lancaster Is fit COM
panion to the Puritan, which had
the serious defect taat, Instead of
being four feet out of water, she
would scarcely float If completed
according to the original design
In that instance the blunder was
discovered after nearly one million
dollars had been spent on her.
And yet these designers and build
ers have the impudence to ask
Congress for millions of dollars
with which to build new navy
