IN their hearts for him, and are never
too busy TO answer his inquiries respect

him with the assurance that some day
his much-hoped-for modification" will
be granted.
To Mr.. Heintzlcmann's mind, all law,
order, liberty and progress ceased when
the obnoxious judgment was pro-
nounced, and. pending its reversal. all
monarchs reign without title, all courts
sit without authority, and all govern

Anarchy and Old Night come again.
He conceives himself to be the incar-
nation of outraged justice, and, there
fore, the representative head and adj
vOcate-general of the human race. He
is firmly convinced that the future his
tory of the world is closely bound up
with the issues of his controversy.
Every passing event has some occult
bearing upon it, and every public ca
lamity or crime is a necessary corOllary
to it. Accordingly, stray references to
contemporaries occurrences are to be
found scattcran through his volumi-
nous papers i1othing comes amiss to
him. The Electoral Commission, the
Centennial Exposition, the assassina-
lions of the late Gar of Russia and OF
President Garfield, the war between Pc
ru and Chill, the Star-Route trials, the
building of the Brooklyn bridge and the
erection of the Bartholdi statue are all
in some way or other connected with his
case, and all find mention in his docu-
ments.
Nothing pleases him SO much as to
gain the ear of Judge to whom he
may be unknown. If he be so fortunate
as to elude the vigilance of the court
officer, he Immediately pours forth a
torrent of unmeaning broken English,
freely interlarded with scraps of Latin
and other foreign tongues, fully per-
suaded that at last he is making head
way, and tardy restitution is about to be
granted. When the officer quietly
checks him, he makes no objection,
but instantly leaves the court with his
customary rapid stride, contented to
postpone the presentation of his case
until more favorable opportunity shall
occur.
Has the reader any curiosity to see a
specimen of Mr.. Heintzlemann' ''docu-
ments?" Let him run his eye over the
subjoined extract and then pronounce
upon its value as legal pleading:

an order presented by him to one of the
lower courts, and probably signed by
the Judge with a view of giving him a
transient taste of the pleasures of i'm

are the vituperative epithets (whatevel

He;ntzlemann takes pains to explain
that he is actuated by no motives OF

his arduous laborS are prompted by
charity towards his fellows and intense
