The Readjusters of the Virginia Legis-

The Readjusters of the Virginia Legis-
lature have determined TO retire on full
pay for the balance Of their lives Judges
Moncure and Anderson, of the Court of
Appeals, on the alleged grounds of old
age and physical inirmity. 1t is pro
posed to retire these Judges at once, so
that the present General Assembly may
choose their successors. The Court of
Appeals of Virginia is composed of five
Judges. and one of these, Judge Walter
r. Staples, has already delivered an
opinion declaring the funding act of
1873 unconstitutional, SO the retirement
of Judges Moncure and Anderson, and
the election of Readjuster successors
would give the Readjustersa majority of
the Court of Appeals Judges.

Advocates Of civil service reform would

The Cesnola Controversy.

The Cesnola controversy at New York was
begun in August, $780, in the The Art ANA
teur by Mr.. CASTOR L. Feuardent, who brought
series of charges against General di Cesnola,
the collector of the Cyprian antiquities belong
ing to the Metropolitan Museum Of Art, accus-
ing him Of practising series of deceits, chief
of which was the composition of statutes from
unrelated parts.' The matter was taken up
by the trustees, and in the Winter OF 1881 q
committee was appointed to investigate the
matter. This committee reported that the
charges, both general and specific, were not
sustained by the facts which had been brought
to their notice. But Mr.. Feuardent would not
consider himself defeated, and enlisting Mr..
Clarence Cook returned to the contest with
renewed vigor. Mr.. Cook wrote and Mr.. Feu-
ardent published a pamphlet entitled Trans
migrations and Migrations of Certain Statues
in the Cesnola Collection" in which were set
forth detailed charges of fraud in connection
with two statues in the Museum collection
the "Aphrodite and Eros" and the figure hold
ing horned head. After the appearance OF
this pamphlet the trustees of the Museum had
the statues named placed in the large hall of
the Museum last month, and invited critical
inspection from connoisseurs and experts.
Some of these have made out full reports, all
of which agree in pronouncing the charges
baseless. The following are the names OF these
gentlemen: Mr.. Robert Ellin, architectural
christ and Gyles; Mr.. Daniel G. French (of
Boston), Mr. Charles Calverly, Mr.. Launt
Thompson and Mr.. John Rogers, each Of whom
has a reputation as a sculptor that gives to his
opinion the value of Judgment Mr.. ,Feuar-
dent was invited to meet the experts and join
with them in their examinations of the statues,
but failed to do So 1t is to be hoped that the
end of the controversy is at last in sight.

In relation to the present years corn crop the
Droyer's Journal says that in the extreme low
or southern part of the country the corn is all
being worked, and is well along in growth in
Kentucky, Tennessee and Southern Missouri.
A large amount of corn has been planted, and
through the central portion of the great corn
producing district of the country the farmers
are making ready for planting to an extent,
no doubt, beyond anything of the kind we hav
ever seen in the country. The past winter was
an unusually open one. The spring thus
far has been, upon the whole, favorable for
carrying on farming operations High prices
have prevailed for corn, and the old stock will
be reduced to low ebb before the new crop
will be ready for use; SO that farmers have the
strongest possible inducements to raise all the
corn they can possibly produce this season, and
with favorable season we expect to see the
largest corn crop that has ever been pr oduced
in the country.
The land in the neighborhood of Lordsburg
anc Clifton, Arizona, is understood to be rich
in minerals, and this fact attracts to that re-
gion large numbers of adventurers, One of
these parties, consisting of twenty miners, was
riding towards Clifton, when it was attacked
by a band of Apaches which had just destroyed
the town of Clifton and murdered its inhabi-
tants. The miners were ambushed by the Graf
ty savages and all but Magruder killed and
mutilated. Magruder, 1t seems, managed to
hide and escape. He is man of great physi-
cal strength and endurance, and after five days
exposure on the plains got safely to Clifton,
which he found empty and desolate.
A rude fellow who addressed an insulting

the fist of the vigorous husband. A doctor and
