NIURPHY's SPEECHES.
The Suit Against w. II. Observation-Disclosures
Demurrer Sustained.

New YORK, Feb Am action was
brought over one year age, in the Supreme
Court here, by William D. Murphy against
William II. English Democratic candidate
for vice president in 1880. Murphy alleged
that about August %, 1880 English en-
ployed him to speak in public and advocate
his election to office throughout the State Of
Indiana. Murphy was resident of this
State, but he went there, and from Sept. 4.
to Oct. II of that year made twenty-five
speeches in different parts of the State. He
said his services were worth 81 900, but he re-
ceved only 500, and his expenses were
$3.50. He brought suit to re-
cover $1,1S0, with interest from
English. The latter in his answer denied
that he employed Murphy. He admitted
that Murphy addressed some meetings in
Indiana, but said his speeches were poor and
unworthy OF compensation. Mr.. English
declared that the plaintiff spoke of his own
interest and desire and that the alleged con-
tract was against the policy of common law,
repugnant to the constitution and laws of the
United States, and against public policy, and
therefore void. Plaintiff demurred to the
last defense, and his demurrer was heard by
Judge Larrimore in the Supreme Court The
latter gave decision to-day. rendering judg-
ment for the plaintiff upon his demurrer,
with leave to defendant to amend his an

fair beauty standing between the Duke of
Wellington and himself "Ah Madam,
how happy you should be to be standing be-
tween the two greatest men in all Europe"
Rossni was the son of u trumpeter at
Pesaro, Meyerbeer of wealthy banker at
Berlin, Verdi of day-laborer, Bellini of an
organist at Catina, Mozart of concert must
clan, and Wagner of a Leipsic official.
The opera of "Tancredi" was the first opera
of Rossini that won him fame in Europe
and was written for Venetian public. 'Di
tamil palpti," an aria that is a household
favorite, was written in five minutes under
peculiar circumstances. Nine. Melnote, the
prima-donna, at the final rehearsal, con-
