His memory is very great, and now
that he has no special reason to be a
sphinx, he discusses men in public
life very freely, and, with an almost
unexpected felicity of expression, de-
scribes the different shades Of their
character, dwelling, perhaps, most
upon the seamy side, where faults and

Facts Not Generally Known.

McMinnville New Era
1t need not now be kept longer a
secret that if the Supreme Court had
decided the debt bill against the
people, a new bill would have been
Immediately fled. The same was al
ready prepared, and would have had a
large number Of c%omplainants Of every
calling and profession. In fact the
purpose was to file it with something
near fifty complainants, and immedi-
ately after the process was issued to
amend it by adding several hundred
more Of the tax.paylug citizens of the
State, which could easily have been
swelled to as many thousands.
The object Of the bill was not to
embarrass or obstruct the carrying out
Of any decree the Court might make
in the suit nov pending, but the pur-
pose was to lake several questions
not made in tue case just tried. One
of these questions was the constitu.
tionality of the acts authorizing the
issuance Of bonds to railroads. This
question was conceded in the recent
case, and hence was not before the
Court, but which, it will be seen, was
the most vital of all the questions
connected with the subject.
The new bill would have been filed
somewhere in the Fourth Chancery
Division, and the bondholders would
have been made parties, and several
Federal questions would have been
raised which were ignored in the for
mer bill. The bill, we understand,
was drawn by Judge Williams, after
free consultation with Colonel Savage,
Colonel Thompson, Mr.. Metcalf and
other attorneys, in person and by let.

ties. We have seen the text Of the
bill, and to our mind the statements
Of the constitutional law are over
whelming and carry with them abso-
Lutte conviction. What they do in the
matter now we suppose will be a mat
ter for future determination.

EVERYONE will feel a touch of SYM
patty for Mrs. Scoville in her efforts
to save the life of her worthless
brother, Guiteau, condemned to be
hung on the Both of June. 1t is the
strong expression of a sisters fond
love which oyerlooks or forgives the
most terrible enemies. Still, it seems
like going too far to ask the bereaved
and stricken Mrs. Garfield to intercede
for the life of the man who took the
life of her husband without cause.
She very properly declines to inter
fere, and leaves Guiteau where he
belongs, in the hands Of the law aud Of
the American people. The law will
and should take its course, and no
doubt its utmost penalty will be
enforced. This is due not less to the
majesty Of the law than to the we'll
being of society and the ~yindication
of stern justice. Sympathy for Mrs.
Scoville and sentimentality should not
be interposedt to prevent the execution
of the righteous verdict Of the law and
of the American people at large.

BALTIMORE, February 10, 1882
A wedding took place in Danes
Quarter District, Somerset county,
Nd, on the 9th inst, under circum-
stances which probably never found a
parallel in this country. On the date
named H. E. Whyte, aged seventeen,
and of excellent character, married a
pretty little brunette named Ella
Shores, aged fourteen, thus giving to
the girl a second husband within two
years. 1t appears that on February
8, 1880, precisely two years from the
date ofthe last marriage, the residents
of Danes Quarter were greatly ex-
| cited on learning that Sydney Shores,
a farmer aged sixty-fve years, had
married Ella Shores, the twelve-year
old daughter of his deceased wife by a
former husband. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. Zacharia
Bowen, a Methodist Episcopal cler-
gyman, who, as sheWn afterwards,
was deceived by Shores as to the girls
age and did not know she was the step
daughter Of her prospective husband.
At that time there were numerous
threats oflynching the wretched bride
groom, and a mob visited bis house
one night to hang him. Shores, how
ever, who is an old soldier, showed
fight, and they desisted.
ARREST OF THE ALLEGED LoTnARIo.
After the man had lived with the girl
as his wife for four days the county
authorizes took cognizanoe of the
affair and arrested him and the
Rev. Sir. Bowen, Justice A. K. Rob
inson, Of Princess Anne, committed
them to Jail in default Of bail, end the
girl was taken charge of by friends and
removed from Shores house. The
feeling against Shores was further ag
graYated by the fact that his wife, who
was the widow Of his uncle, had been
dead only one month whenhe wededt the
girl. Some months later Shores was
tried by the County Court, convicted
of misdemeanor and sentenced to pay
a fine of $500 and stand committed to
Jail until it was paid. The clergyman
was acquitted on the ground that be
had not known the facts of the case.
ESCAPE FROM JAIL.
Shores, being poor man could not
pay his fine, and doubtless would have
been in Jail at the present time had
he not succeeded in escaping last
year, since which time he has moi
been heard Of. Meanwhile The CIR
wife, through friends, applied for a
divorce, which application was heard
last fall and granted. Throughout al
her trouble Whyte, her second hus.
band, displayed the utmost solicitndt
for her, aud finally induced her tt
marry him last week, as stated. Mrs
Wbyte, despite her youth, is vel
grown for her age, and an unusuallI
pretty girl, well educated and intelli
gent. Several prominent residents O
the county have taken an interest il

will assist in establishing the groom
in business.

approved on the 9th Of April, 1881,
and entitled An Act to Compromise

1t is estimated that the death Of Ko
Kun Hua, late Professor of Chinese at
Harvard College, closes hat depart
ment of learning in the University,
and that no successor will be APP
pointed. This is the more probable
since the professorship was entirely
sustained by private contributions.
Neither has its success been en-
couraging. Professor Ko Kun Hua
has Teen teaching in Cambridge since
1879, and has had only four or five
pupils. This shows that those who
may wish to acquire the Chinese Ian
guage for commercial convenience
prefer to learn it where it may be
most readily acquired-this is, in Chi
ma itself. Nor will the number oil
those who might desire instruction
for the sake of investigating compare.
tive philology, ever be large. Under
the circumstances, the Chinese chair
was more ornamental than useful,
Heretofore our knowledge of Chinese
has come from European or American
students domiciled in China. Proba-
bly, we shall always be compelled tC
rely upon instruction from thai
source; while the supply will be il
exact proportion to the demand.
