large mail, and in it are many curious
letters. One woman wrote that she

read the letter. The old lady is more
cheerful over her great loss than many
people believe. and is in good health.
She takes great interest in politics, and
insists on doing a share of the house
work.

How the Washington Co urt is Opened,

Washington Correspondence of the Boston Star.
All courts are to be the laity queer
places. There is certain amount of
ceremony and procedure which, to the
casual locker on, has neither rhyme
nor reason. AS an instance, | will cite
the calling" of defendant or plaintiff
when 1t is well known that he is absent
and cannot possibly respond, but he is
''called," and the record is made up
against him. The peculiar formula
used in opening court is another thing,
and here in Washington it is wonder
fully queer. just imagine before the
court begins any business whatever land
we who are attending the Guiteau trial
hear it every day, and everybody knows
there is no other business but that be-
fore the court, man of medium size,
but with lungs like the bull of BaShan,
steps up to the end of the Judges desk,
taps with his knife-handle, and in a
voice that could be distinctly heard in
hall Of 10000. calls out Come to
order, gentlemen; hats off. He waits
mome.t, elances around the court
room, lays his left elbow on the desk,
straightens himself, drops his head up
on his chest, closes his eyes, fills his
lungs with several feet Of cubic air, and
then he says, in volume of voice as
big as the British cyclopedia: HOOD
o-h-yees." He pauses and gathers his
breath again, and the second food of
sound rolls out "Ho-o-e-o-h-yees.
Those who are accustomed to it turn to
those who are strangers in the court
room and say: Flows that for a
voice?" And the answer is: "Whv, he
could be heard mile" Meanwhile
the crier is swelling up for the next
laundering utterance, and he belches
out: "Ho-o-o- h-yees." He pulls in a
mighty breath, and bellows "Sa-w-w'l
pers sa-awing bees misfor' thou bull
Juu-dge S'preme Court th'dees strick-
lum." He gathers himself again. his
chest expands. his ewes close, and he
goes on: "Na-a-a-ould dingscrimnal
term" Another gathering of Borean
forces and: 'Draw-aw-aw- near, gun
give yer ten Ounce the courts nav penl'
as he utters the last part the thunder
runs suddenly down 10 zephyr all
muddled in together, and he Is half way
down the steps.
1t took one man (he was from Ohio
four days to translate the crier's conun-
drum. By those who know what his
business is, to-wit, to open court, no eff
fort is made to guess whether he is
calling "old rags" or "s-o-o-ap"
They let him wind up and run down,
and then go to business. The result of
a careful investigation showed that the
call never varies. Like the cogs in a
Wheel, the words move in the same
groove every time. When the Ohioan
had finally wrestled the conundrum
out, he found it read as follows: 80
We, Q ye, 0 We, all persons having busi-
ness before the honorable the Judge of
of the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia, now holding its criminal
term, draw near and give your attend
ance. The Court is now open."

Mormon characteristics.

A graphic, but not very fattering
description of three types of Mormon
faces as observed st the recent semi
annual conference, is given in the Salt
Lake Tribune. Stubborness, ignorance
nent characteristics. The observer is
first struck by TIE stubborn face, the
peculiarities OF which are "a forehead
like the end of filbert, crooked nose
and protruding under lip." These, it
is said, are men who will take the mi
nority side of any question and stick
to it until the grave opens to receive
them-men who are willing to wager
a small amount that the world is fiat.
The superstitious class have face of an
entirely different type. There is lack
of the strength which is seen in the
stubborn mans lace The under lips
OF these men retreat, their chins are
hardly discernible; and, sitting with
dilated eyes and open mouths, they
drink IN the flood of words from the
preachers, absolutely believing that
the meaningless language is the divine
ms Qiration of God" The ignorant
faces are described as belonging to men
who look like chimpanzees from the
jungles of Central Africa-men with
diminutiye noses, big mouths, cunning,
twinkling eyes and protruding teeth"
Throughout the entire audience were
noticed the low frontal development,
thick, sensual necks. sleepy eyes and
repulsive mouths. Many of the old
women, it IS asserted. would, if placed
by the side of the witch of Endor. make
the bag look ike q rosy, blooming
maiden in comparison. This surely IS
an unsttractiye picture, but there is
undoubtedly much truth In it.
