Many amusing stories are told Of tie

Christian courts of justice. In England
it is the custom to break Il delicate china
saucer over the head of the Chinese wit
ness and this is supposed to insure
truth telling. There was Chinese wit
ness in a trial which was recently held in
San Francisco. The Judge, evidently not
being quite satisfied that the witness un-
derstood the object of the form he had
just gone through. asked him, as is usual
in such cases, if he understood the nat

Nine million dollars, the balance of tn,

Nine million dollars, the balance of the
Geneva award, is lying in the United
States treasury at Washington. Claims
for : ,O0O,0 900 have been filed 10y Phila-
delphlans Under an act of Congress,
the first distribution was made by the
Alabama claims commission to those who
suffered direct losses from the Alabama
and other ''inculpated" cruisers. At Ge-
neVa, the board held that England was
not responsible for the losses by other
crafts, which We're entitled the "eXcul-
pated' cruisers. The board also held that
the claims for extra premiums on account
of the rebellion, and known as ''war pre-
mlums, were too remote to be chargeabe
to Great Britain. In accordance with
these decisions, only the direct losses
were satisfied. By a recent act of Con
gress, however, the court of Alabama
claims was recreated and directed to dis
tribute the balance of the fund first to
satisfy the direct losses, if any remain,
and then to pay the indirect losses pro
rata. 1t is estimated that the claimants
will receive about 50 per cent. Of their
claims. The largest claims are held in
New York.

The Reverend Mr.. Dean looked strange
! II white and oppressed as he sat down on
the platform of the Blank Street Chapel
to face his church, assembled for the pre-
paratory lecture Of the Friday before Com
munion Sunday,
Generally, he was man Of bright, con-
tident aspect, in the prime of early life,
manly, thoughtful, fearless, and tuil Of
that enthusiasm and energy that carries
an audience with it by the strong force of
sympathy and admiration. But tonight
his fresh color had given place to pallor,
his eyes We're cast down. his lips We're
set, and as he took his place in the tall
chair before the table that held his Bible
| and a glass of water, he leaned his head
Oh his hands and never looked up till he
I rose 10 open the services with PRAYER.
His PRAYER was strange not for its brel =
ity, for he never made long prayers, any
more than his Master-but the whole
congregation felt great awe steal upon
them as he uttered these words in 4 voice
pathetic and solemn beyond expression :;
Dear Lord and Master. Thou who dd>t turn
and look upon Peter with the divine tenderness
that i repr0ach TO sinners, turn now and look

to Us sinners. Look upon us with pity: let

we arr traitors to Thee and have cruciticd Thee

him and gave out slowly and sadly the
old hymn beginning:
Twas on that night. that dreadful night,
When all the powers Of hell arose
Against the son of God in might.
And friends betrayed him to His foes.
The choir leader was not there, So Dta-

spRINer1rrp Republican: The Arkansas

SPRINGFIELD Republican: The Arkansas
legislative committee appointed to investi-
gate the accounts of Thomas J. Churchill,
who was State Treasurer from 1874 to 1850,
has ended its 13 months examination by re-
porting deficit of $4,000. Business was
done.so very loosely that it is impos sible to
tell just how the shortage was created
Churchill, himself, after examining the rec
ords with force of clerks for months, is
unable to give any explanation-but the
committee is clear that the State has in
some way lost the amount named. Church
ill is Bourbon Democrat, was elected to
the Governorship in 1880 and is candidate
for reelection. 1t does not seem possible
that he can be re-nominated in the face of
this report-signed by two Democrats and
Greenbacker,- but, if he should be, lively
campaign is certain.
The Portland daily press., 1882-05-25

ST. LOUIS Globe Democrat: A Pennsylva-
MIA Greenbacker made the Democrats in
Congress so mad the other day by showing
up their double dealing that they have not
recovered their temper yet. He gave the
Republicans credit for recognizing him and
his associates as party; "they have said
that they were opposed to Greenbackism, !"
he put it truly, "but they have joined the is
sue with us squarely," for which he ex-
pressed a gratifying sense of respect. And
then the aroused member pitched into the
Democracy in this lively fashion:
The Democrats have been all things to all
men. In Indiana, in Ohio, and in my own
State you have adopted platforms containing
pIanks in favor of Greenbackism and fiat mon
ey, as staunch planks as / would wish to see in
any platform. Then in your national conven-
tions you have repudiated your State platforms.
You are divided among yourselves, as you al
ways have been since 1856. You can be found
on every side of every question That has been
your record.
The sting Of this attacks in It's clear truth
fulness. On the tariff, on finance, on the re-
lation between the State and the Federal
Governments, the Democrats are without a
policy, and they are without courage enough
to stick to it if they had one. 1t is their
hopeless imbecility that makes that party of
rattling dry bones unworthy of victory and
unable to win one.
