THE SUPREME COURT.
Something About the Judges and Their Work
Their Families Social Positi on,

H. D. halnsdell, IN Philadelphia Press.
The Supreme Court is composed, generally,
OF men past the meridian OF life Some of
the judges are on the threescore and ten
roster. Their families are, like themselves
too old to devote their lives to hollow society
The family of the Chief Justice in Washing
ton consists of his wife and daughter. His
vile met with an accident about three years
or more ago and broke her leg. She is now
happily recovered but she cannot wear her
self out in looking after people she does not
know, half Of whom make themselves con-
spicuous out of curiosity. The daughter is
bright and amiable and does what she is
obliged to do in a very gentle way The
family of Judge Miller, the oldest Judge on
the bench i'll term of service, consists, while
in Washington, of his vile and young daugh-
ter. His age is about sixty-five. His wife is
much younger, but is mach of the time an
invalid. The daughter, educated in Ger
many and France, and a most brilliant mu-
stefan and linguist, cannot be expected to
throw her life away in social mockery and
neglect and forget her accomplishments.
Judge Fields family consists of his beauti-
fui wife and such relatives as they may hap
pen to have. Should Mrs. Field give up her
beautiful home to spend every day in her
carriage calling on Mrs Tom Dick and
Harry? Justice Gray is bachelor, and,
therefore, has nothing to do but to accept or
decline Invitations. Judge Blatchf ford the
latest appointed member of the court, has
certainly handsome house. but know
nothing of his family. Judge Harlan's
family are in mourning and, therefore, ex-
empt from social obligations. Judge Stanley
Matthews, who built beautiful house on
Connecticut avenue after he was appointed
to the bench, cannot entertain because of
the death of son. The wife of Judge Brad
ley is old and feeble, and not equal to a win
ter in society" Judge Woods is not very
well known in Washington society. So you
see that little ought to be expected this win
ter from the families of the Supreme Court
Judges.

An analysis of the population of Paris Just
published gives very singular statistics as to
the inhabitants of the gayest city in Europe
1t seems, also, for its size, to be the most in
dustrous The proportion, in which the
working classes exceed those who live on
their own incomes is the more remarkable as
Paris is the recognized center of expenditure
and extravaganza for all France. There are
no cities that hold to the capital the same
relative position that Liverpool, Manchester
and Birmingham occupy relatively to Lon
don. More than half million of Parisians
are employed in commerce, trade and bank
ing operations, while of the artisan class
there are considerably more than a million
and quarter. The liberal professions seem
to occupy butts small proportion of the popu-
lation. All combined do not amount to 200,-
600, and in the subdivisions the prominence
is quite different to what it would be
with rs. The great majority are in the pub
lie service, which employs more than Rfeei
cine, law and divinity all combined. But
after the public service, it is art which gives
employment and livelihood to the greatest
number of Parisians. Forty-two thousand get
their income from this branch of indus
long way after. Medicine in its
branches supports $4,000 the branches of
course including chemists and all pound
ers and vendors of medicine. Then comes
the law, with it's 10000 votares, from Judge
to bailtf. Literature figures very low on the
list, for, grouped with science and journal
ISM it gives employment to only II 600 peo-
pie, while all the clergy OF all the persua-

Emperor William.


The vitality of the German emperor is a
source OF unceasing establishment and admit
ration. He is now we'll on his way to eighty
seven-thirteen years older than his great
ancestor, "Old Fritz" when that monarch's
tough constitution broke down under the
weight of years and the cares of government
and his life has been one OF the most wear
ing activity. Yet he was on horseback on
Saturday, despite the weather, for three
hours, and yesterday he was busy all day in
discharging various formal functions of roy
atty. In face of this marvellous and sus-
tanned vigor it needs the Emperor's own
words, in his touching address to the Fourth
army corps, to remind the world how close
be necessarily is to the end of his extraor-
binary career 1T was joy and honor to
me-" he says, "to see the army corps once
more. Probably it is the last time AT my
age one makes no plans" Yet the event
which the Emperor looks so steadfastly in
the face will make the greatest changes, per-
haps, in the foreign, and certainly ia the
domestic relations of his empire. BY no ca
reer of our time has the immense import
ance of the personal element in politics
been more clearly illustrated.

Philadelphia Times,
70 the students of Haverford College Lord
Chief Justice Coleridge yesterday delivered,
in the Alumni Hall an unstudied address,
which contained, in addition 70 a number of
hints on what young men could read, pretty
full exposition of his Lordship's literary
opinions. He gagged the literary work of
writer by the number of his expressions
which have been Incorporated unconsciously
and without set quotation into the best of
our language. His Lordship instanced the
speech OF John Bright (the best orator he had
ever heard) as being full of Milton. Words
worth, in Lord Coeridge's opinion, was not
as well known in this country as he should
be, but he admitted that Wordsworth was a
particular favorite of his. The indebtedness
of Tennyson to Keats was noticed by the
critic. and the college boys were advised to
discriminate between the sound and the uu-
sound fruits OF Shelly's genius. Among
American writers, his Lordship put Bryant
as the first poet. and mentioned Hawthorne
and Daniel Webster as eminent masters of
prose. Hooker, the theologlan, Boliugbrolle
and Lord Erskine were among the writer's
recommended by Lord Colerdge. He spoke
with feeling OF Dr. Arnold, of Rugby, his
fathers friend and the greatest OF scncU4-
masters.

King Richards Bed.

In the town of Leicester the house is still
shown where Richard III passed the night
before the battle of Bosworth, and there is a
story of him preserved i'll the corporation

secretiveness of his character. He was ac-

on; herein he contrived a secret receptacle

The ex-Confederate Gen. Gordon told
me an interesting story about two inter-
views he held with Gen. Barlow. At
Sharpsburg Barlow was apparently NOR
tally wounded, and fell into Gordons
hands. Gordon took liking to him,
and asked if he could not do something
for Barlow. II think not, General,
said the young man. II shall be buried
here, no doubt I do not expect to live;
but you can do one thing for me. Here
is package of letters from my wife
which wish You to destroy before my

man also, took the letters, and was
about to destroy them, when Barlow,

the letters were destroyed. But the in
cident touched Gordon 30 that he made
a special exertion to have Barlow sent
through the lines Or to have his wife
admitted to him. This being done the
two armies fell apart, and these men

fion. showed it to the other members Of

strike had been called by the Executive
Committee Of their organization. A
good deal OF silent surprise was mani
tested. due mainly to the fact Of the
order being in such direct conflict with
the news received by the Brotherhood
at this point on the previous afternoon
~ the effect that an amicable settlement
Of the difficulties had been arrived at
between the Western Union authori-

On the stroke Of 0 o'clock they filed out
Of the Office, maintaining throughout a
quiet, orderly behavior, and ON reach
ing the streets dispersed into groups,
discussing the possibilities of the future.
They all apparently laborcd under the
firm idea that it would be impossible for
the Western Union to do anything; that
the strike would paralyze the company.
Many of them took the affair cheerfully,
buoyed up by what, as one of them
stated, 'was an act Of duty to himself
and to Others. /"
At several points East preconcerted
signal was agreed upon. At some offices
three raps Of gavel, at Others an
nouncements such as General Grant
dropped dead" were used. Here there
was nothing SO dramatic. The stroke Of
the. clock was the signal and it was
promptly obeyed.
In the mean time Chief Operator Berry
who was among the strikers--sent a
message to superintendent Jaynes in
| forming him Of the action that had been
taken. Mr.. Jaynes hurried down and at
once began sending messages to all
operators in the city on his book Of APP
plications. BY ten o'clock the office was
furnished with full day force, about
half of which were women operators
He then turned his attention to Sacra-
mento and Yreka. two important points
At the former point only two remained,
the manager and another. At Yreka
there was complete clearing out, not
one remaining, not even the office mana
ger. In connection with the Yreka
office there is one incident that should

with striking and leaving the
office, he left the circuit
open, cutting off all communication be-
tween here and Portland. Superintend-
emit Jaynes sent orders to the repairer at
the New York House to proceed at once
on horseback to Yreka to close the cir
cult, so as to bring Portland into cont
munication with San Francisco. When
this is done, with what has already been
done, the more serious difficulties. SO far
as the Pacific Coast business is con-
cerned, will be overcome.
Los Angeles has remained loyal to the
Company, as has also Virginia, Stock
ton and other important points on the
Coast. No women operators at this
point were among the strikers, but the
messenger boys all struck to imam"
Several of the dummy boys did also,
but their places were quickly and easily
supplied. The Ogden Office is being
rapidly supplied with an efficient force,
and the probabilities are that before this
reaches you full communication will be
re-established with the East, both by
way of Ogden and Deming, on the South
ern route.
