The court Of claims has at last
cleared its docket of the final case
brought before that tribunal under the
provisions of tho act of March, 1868,
relative to captured and abandoned
properly in the southern states. Al
most all the property which was seized
by the government agents, and to
which this act applies, was cotton
From the official records the court has
prepared interesting statistics on the
subject, The whole amount of pro.
ceeds of the captured aud
abandoned property was $751;
722,466, of which &c. SOL, 600 or
more than 20 per cent, was absorbed
In the cost of collection and sale. Of
this amount probably one-hslf at

cases were filed In tho court of q aims
In behalf of claimants to this property
a%ggregsttpg in amount $77 7S5. 962.
This was perhaps not an exaggerated
estimate Of the value of the seized
property, for 1t has been generally
understood here that the government
never received more than half the val.

possession Of In It's name, and then,
as Ia shown In the expense Item given
above, had to psy royal commissions
for the disposal of the remainder.

tered Judgments to the amount of

thts property was taken thus recovered
only about $13, 600, 900 of the amount.
The balance of the fund nov In the

When there We're No Matches.

Young and even middle. aged PEG.
pie accustomed to the convenience of
the modern lucifer match, hardly i'm
aglne the time when the tinder.b box,
with its clumsy flint and steel and
board Of rhinestone matches, was the
only means Of procuring a light.
Some people were more skillful than
Others in striking light and blowing
the spark and matches to fame, but
often in wintry morning it was
weary work for the person who had to
build the first fire, if the finder hap
pened to be damp or worn out, or the
flint or steel ''in temper" Indeed,
in many houses a rush-light was in
some bedroom always burning, so
that in case of sudden illness, or other
disaster, there might be light ready.
The rush-light had, as its name i'm.
plies, rush wick, about fifteen inches
long, and was burned in a huge per.
forated shade. I, was the ''far-
thing" rush-light which the poor PEG.
pie were said to use for other pur-
poses than night light. The picture
OF half-starved seamstress in her gar
ret would, in those days, have been
incomplete without the thin rush
candle; but its light was so feeble
that one can hardly fancy any eyes
could have served to thread needle
by it.
