A Big Virginia Railroad Case Settled.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 4.-The great railroad
case which occupied the circuit court of
Richmond all last week came to an end to-day,
verdict being returned for the defendant.
This case involved 100000 or 100000 for
damages by fire to the adjoining property at
the time the long bridge of the Rich
mond and Petersburg Railroad, over the
James River, was destroyed by fire last
March. The interested parties were chiefly
Franklin Stearns and the late James
Thomas, jr., both very wealthy men, who
owned great deal of property, which was de-
stroyed at the same time, and the insurance
companies had paid for nearly all their
risks, The decision, however, on which the
case turned was the suit of man named
Smith for corn, &C., which was burned. Most
of the prominent lawyers of the city were
employed on either side. There may be ap-
peals and other suits brought, but the case is
probably ended with this verdict.

Trying to Sink n Ship in uid-ocean.

SAN Francisco, Dec. Am attempt was
made to sink in mid-ocean the ship Joseph s.
Shinney, which arrived here Saturday from
Havre. When four weeks out between three
and four feet Of water was discovered in the
hold. After much trouble the leak was dis
covered. Three augur holes had been bored
through the bottom just to the right of the
keelson below the breast-hook hole in
the inner sheething, which had been plugged
and covered with loose dirt to conceal
the source of the leak, and the water had fl
tered in between the inner and outer plank
ing. A close watch was kept on the crew,
but nothing was discovered to warrant max
ing any arrest, although members of the crew
say that Capt. Curling expressed opinion that
it was done by Second Mate Davis. The
latter expressed much ill will against the
captain, but of course denies the charges.

Stanton and Lincoln.

Stanton was peculiar mana man OF
iron viii, and one who never smiled. He
had son, a bright and promising fellow ;
and, when Stanton died, he left the lad moth
Ing, absolutely nothing, out of his ample
fortune, not even book from his splendid
library, but ordered in his will that every
volume be gathered up and sold. The son
obeyed the fathers instructions TO the letter.
He is now dead. Stanton was a man of re-
sources, of great executive ability, and could
hardly have been spared from the War De-
partment. He was very unpopular, and, in
fact, 1t may be said that he was hated. He
was morose and uncivil, though his friends
did not think he ever intended to be. He
was never well, and that, of course, ac-
counted for great many of his actions. He
never engaged in free and easy conversation.
He was an accomplished lawyer, and had the
faculty of expressing his views and opinions
with precision and force rarely equalled.
The written requests of Mr.. Lincoln he
would sometimes, after reading, rend to
pieces and throw them on the floor or in the
face OF the bearer, and then rudely deny the
request. Of course, his conduct would be
promptly reported to Lincoln, who would
reply: Well, you see have not got much
influence with this administration, but ex-
pect to have more with the next" The fact
was, there was an understanding between
them that Stanton should refuse If granting
the request was detrimental to the service.

Notable Residences.
Corresponding Utica Herald.

John M. Courtenay, the former proprieto
OF Idlewild, made many improvements OF
that interesting place, and now that he II
dead II Is again In the market. Idlewilt
will long be remembered as the former home
OF Willis, who there studied nature and
found her influence more healthy than the
excitement Of fashionable society. Here Inc
passed What really were his best days, and
visitors 10 Cornwall are always attracted 10
this spot by his memory. FinY miles further
down the Hudson il Sunnyside, the former
residence Of Washington Irving. 1t still re-
mains In the family, but In common with all
that vicinity IL suffers from malaria. In old
Times the ailment was unknown. The Hud-
sou River Railroad, however, has impaired
the drainage Of the country to such degree
during the past thirty years that the damage
seems irreparable. The cottage" as Irving
familiarly termed II, is near the bank Of the
river, Of which il has a fine view. The
grounds include dozen acres, and the whole
place is In care of Robert, the gardener, who
has been in the family service more than
thir Of century. Irving's nieces occupy
the cottage as summer residence, but spend
their winters In New York. Bryants former
at Roslyn still remains In the fam
lily possession, but will be sold as soon as a |
price can be obtained. The
place has suffered from malaria, which, in
Iced, Is so great scourge that any enc who
will produce an assured preventive will be
accounted a public benefactor and would
'lso reap an immense fortune.

"What," interrupted, "did you not bend

"Why," said 1, "you must have Mortified

She explained: ',We speak of America first

smiled In gratifed acquiescence and con-
tinned: you are very generous Her
Majesty was then pleased to converse on
general topics, but persistently got back to
the subject of myself I felt she was piqued
about something at first, and her last words
were, I'VE shall not forget you,' adding with
a laugh, why, even all my servants read

A Pleasant Experiment with Salt.
Troy Times.


Do you want TO grow salt and, at the same
time, have an interesting, handsome orna-
ment? The proceeding Is novel chemical
experiment that may be tried by any one.
Put in goblet one tablespoonful of salt and
one spoonful Of bluing; fill the goblet two
thlrds full o: water and set IL In position
where 1t will have plenty of warmth and
sunlight. In little while sparkling crystals
will commence forming on the outside of the
glass, and it is both novel and interesting
sight to watch it gradually growing day by
day until the outside Of the goblet is entire
ly covered over with beautiful white CRYSTALS.
Another variation Of this beautiful expert
ment would be to take goblet with the base
broken off and fasten It In the center of
thin piece Of board, which may be round,
square, or oblong. After the crystals have
formed on the glass, set It on a tiny wall
bracket and place bright holiday or birth
day card In front of IL; this will hide the
base, on which no crystals will form. After
this Is done fill the goblet with flowers or
dried grasses, and you have a vase which
costs comparatively little, and in reality adds
to the bric-a-brac of the room.
