The Austin weekly statesman. (Austin, Tex.) 1883-1898, 1883-11-29

"The well-dressed woman" remarks
the Providence Journal, "heeds the
harmony of her colors, and is careful
that the forms adopted suit the lines
of her face and figure. If she is tall
she does not drape herself in meagre
clothing; if short she is not fiounced
around like fancy pen-wiper. If
her skin is fair and her hair lies in
curves and ripples of light brown
against the creamy white she will not
rudy and warm and dark she will not
frame herself in waxen blue or the
tender shades of pink"

The result Of the Star-route trial
adds one more to the violent shocks
which ouf jury system has recently
received, and there must be some
doubt in the minds of intelligent
men how many more such the sys,
tenn can stand. There have all along
been misgiyings about this jury
its competence to deal with the
case. But the most sanguine friends
Of the accused never hoped for an
acquittal. It was generally believed
that the defendants were sure of
one or more jurors, and a disagree
ment was the account looked tor;
but the announcement of a verdict
of mot guilty" created universal
surprise and amazement. How it
was brought about is profound
mystery as yet. 1t gives the phe-
nomenal result Of declaring inno-
cent, with the others, one defendant
who was convicted on the first trial
and who entered plea Of guilty in
the present trial. But this verdict
will not change the one which the
honest, intelligent American people
found against these plunderers long
ago, when the facts were first made
known. And in all the circum-
stances and intricacies of this me-
morable trial there is but one re-
deeming feature-the record made
by Richard Merrick as attorney for

THREE DOLLARS FOR
BLACKING BOOTS.


A lot of Boston tourists were
travelling in sleeping car; also a
Nevada traveller. In the morning
when the porter went round to col
lect his assessments on boot black
ing, there was a great conlmotion
among the Boston tourists. Some
paid him fve-cent nickel, and;
those who had no niekels were
compelled to yield up short bits.
All the while the Nevada man,
dressed in ordinary clothes, : sat
reading his newspaper. When the
porter reached him he looked up
inquiringly:
did you black my boots, sir:''
"Yes, sah."
you did a splendid job; never
had my boots blacked SO well be-
fore on this line. Here's three dol
lars
When the porter poeketed the
money the Boston people look
ed up astonished, and presently it
was rumored about that John
Maekey was aboard or Enoch
Strothers was out ona campaigning
trip. In few minutes the Nevada
man and the porter met Coy chance)

porter winked continuously for
nine seconds as he drank the
travellers health.

4 CHANGE IN FORTUNB.

Mr.. Timothy Bloom, salesman in
Mr.. Crabb's big retail dry-goods
store. was stealthily eating his
lunch in a dusty corner amongst
some empty packing boxes. Itwas
not a very good lunch, and warm as
the day was, he had but one glass
of ice water to drink with it.
A very mild, pleasant-looking
young fellow was Timothy Bloom,
with eyes like a pretty girls, and
fair hair parted down the middle;
but he was rather doleful at this
moment, for Crabbe, senior, had
just been abusing him for permit

without buying anything. and had
likewise informed him that he had

grated corset boxes above his
head, and taking his idea from the

At this moment, even as the

his pathetic eyes on Mr.. Bloom S

WASHINGTON LETTER.

From Our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 18, 1883.
The Supreme court not having
yet adjourned there is still a slight
evidence Of life in and about the
capitol building. Somebody has
lately been writing about the over
worked condition of the judges of
this court. It really is too bad.
The easy-going farmers and busi-
ness men over the country who
labor from sun to sun, and several
hours besides, will sympathize
with these poor judges when they
hear the story of ther wrongs. They
sit for four or FIVE hours every day
except Saturday. On that day they
get together in the consultation
room and go over the cases of the
week, compare notes and agree on a
decision. Then the chief justice
names the Judge who is to prepare
the opinion. There are nine judges,
and of course each has his turn at
the opinions. Of course there is
some labor in the preparation Of an
important opinion in al important
case, covering decision which
must stand as the law Of the land.
And it has been asked when a judge
is to perform this, the real brain
work of his position. Shall he do
it when he comes home from the
court in the middle of the afternoon
and hungry for his dinner? Prob
ably not. Will he do it after din
ner? Not likely; for he generally
has engagements, and most of the
time has to dine out, which is sure
ly incompatible with writing opin-
ions. Many brain workers do their
best at nights, but if Judge is full
of terrapin, canvas backs, Burgundy
and champagne, he can't write, at
night, and he won't feel much in the
humor for it next morning. So, on
the whole the position is full of
difficulties.
Speaking Of dining out, it is
hoped that President Arthur will be
able for a time to restrain his pro-
pensity for big dinners and their
Accomplishments. / am informed
that after the Willard Bartlett din
ner in New York he experienced a
recurrence Of the same symptoms
which were noticed at Savannah on
the recent Southern trip. These
frequent indulgences seem to be
telling heavily upon his physical
powers, robust as they are. His
countenance is sometimes pallid.
Champagne and Burgundy freely
used will tell. The President be-

Soldiers Home Saturday and will
