another about him: A few days before ad-

went over to Tabor's seat. Slapping him
on the back Tabor said: "Look here, old

formation that no further steps had been
taken in the matter. No instruction from
the home government had been received to
abandon further proceedings. The steps
thus far taken being merely preliminary
to hearing upon the merits of the case
with reserved right on the part of the
government to pass upon the evil
dence adduced, and grant
or refuse extradition papers
for Sheridan. The action of her maiestv's
government in pressing or abandoning the

HEAVY SUIT FOR DAMAGES.
Thos. Worthington, of Ohio, to-day filed
suit against E. W. Hughtley, third audi
tor of the United States treasury for $780,

scrlbed by the complaint as hundreds of
allegations, calculated and intended to
prevent the payment by the United States
government, of plaintiffs just claims'' for
army supplies furnished the volunteer
troops at Camp Dennison, O., in 1861. The
complaint sets forth that the allegations
referred to were made by the third auditor
in various official reports and letters writ
ten by him in regard to the plaintiffs claim
and addressed to President Hayes, to the
assistant secretary of the treasury, and to
Congressman Butterworth.

IN THE DAYS OF CHARLEMAGYE.

The rudeness of the conquering races
regarding meals is shown by the manner
in which the table of Charlemagne was
served. The Emperor dined at midday
alone. The Dukes and Princes waited
ON him and dined at the same table when
he had done. They were succeeded by
the Counts and high functionaries, who
were waited on and replaced by the
military suites, and so on through sever
al gradations down to tho lowest class of
domestics, whose turn seldom arrived
before midnight. At the same time
Charlemagne encouraged the production
of fruit and flowers, as adding to the en-
joyment of the people, and was pleased
when any special delicacy was presented
TO him. The Genevesse trout are hon
orably mentioned in the capitularies,
and it will be remembered that one Of
these trout, supplied to Cambaceres by
the municipality of Geneva, was charged
300 francs in their accounts. The first
to transgress the sumptuary laws of
Charlemagne were his wives Che was
nine times marriedD and his daughters,
who figured at court festivals and in the
hunting field with purple robes or sables
aud coronets set with precious stones.

lutions relating TO the death of some
prominent person, and, handing them
TO one Of the Legislators, the latter
moved that the Legislature adjourn out
of respect to his memory. They were
read, adopted and an adjournment had

cred that the individual referred TO had

Legislators went to the circus, all the
same, however, and took the whole city
