sre made necessary by the very rapid
Growth of business at this point. When
she railroads are completed it is be-
iieved that the volume of trade will be
made still larger. Ii is confidently ex-
rectsd that the coal fields, which are
drained by the lines terminating at Sc
attic, will. in few years, supply large
part. If not entirely all, of the coal de-
msnd of the North Pacific Coast. All

THE HIGHEST BENCH,

washington letter saws: | was pres
ent upon the opening of the Unite
states Supreme Court at noon. The
C0nrt never meets until noon, and al
ways adJourns at four O'Clock. So il ID
IN no sense hard worked Court. There
| Is great deal of useless ceremony about
the opening of all courts, but the Su,
| prerne Court carries off the cake. Ii il
the only Court IN the land where the
! Judges wear gowns As the judges
show up IN the court room the marshal
OF the court announces in loud tone
the presence of the Chief Justice and
Associate Justices" Everyone rises TO
their feet. They take a look at the
members of the bar, make a kind of
bow, and sit down. Then everybody
else sits down, the marshal going on
with his song about "Oh. yes, oh, YES,
the Supreme Court is now in session.
and all persons having business before
II viii draw near aud give their atten
tion. He winds up with prayer re-
quSsting God to bless the country, and
this particular Court" and sits down.
not TO be heard again till 4 clock, when
he adiourns the Court with a similar
ceremony. For doing this and prepar-
ing book of some kind during the day
on his "Recollections of Abraham Lin
coln"-the Marshall is Mr.. Nicoiay, who
was Private Secretary under Lincoln
he receives salary of 5000 per year.
The fact is, however, that the Court is
not in session three months in the wear,
so the Marshal receives $1,000 for the
three months. IL is generally conceded
that Judge Miller is the best lawyer of
the Court. Judge Field is on the rail-
road side of every case that comes up
before the Court. Judge Bradley gives
more attention to the question of drafts,
currents of air ami ventilation than
anything else. He says that there is
draft of cold air striking him right on
the head, or the middle of the back when
there is no such draft. Judge GRAY
wears a white necktie in the daytime.
This is the sum of his offending. except
that he laughs too much while on the
bench. There is no particular reason
why he should not laugh if he wants
to, but then it is not the custom,
and custom rules the Court with an iron
hand. Judge Blatchford is the richest
judge. But he is not happy. He lives
under the constant dread that his house
is to be robbed. Several attempts have
been made to enter his house, but he
has SO many bars and locks that the en-
terpris'ng burglars gave up the job each
time without getting anything. Judge
Woods has the smallest foot and hand.
Judge Field is the elocutionist of the
bench. He can make the dullest docu-
ment or decision interesting. Judge
Harlan is the youngest judge. He is
but 80. The Chief Justice is 81, Judge
Field 67, Judge Bradley 20, Judge
Woods 50, Judge Stanley Matthews 50,
Judge Gray 55, and Judge Blatchford
So. Judge Miller was appointed in 1862.
Judge Field in 1863, Judge Bradley in
1870, the Chief Justice in 1874, Judge
Harlan in 1877, Judge Woods in 1880,
Judge Matthews in 1891, Judge Gray in
1881, and Judge Elatchford in 1882.

From time to time sad "reminiscences
of the great war of the rebellion are re-
called by accident. The Chattanooga
(Ga) Times relates the following /:
Mr.. John Crouch, who owns a farm
on Mission Ridge, while digging holes
to set out peach trees, exhumed four
skeletons, which were about eighteen
inches under ground. They were buried
in row. One had bullet hole in the
skull; bullet was found in the hip
bone of another. The remnants of a
silk tie and shirt buttons were found in
the grave. The remains were evidently
those of soldiers who were hurriedly
buried in the middle of the carnage of
the terrible battle of Mission Ridge.
Tho skeletons were placed in a neat
coffin and reinterred."

CHICAGO COURT SCENE.

Tho following anecdote Is said TO be
literally true Of an eminent lawyer:
Ihe'gcntleman In question, who was
then quite young, was retained rs advo-
cate in case on which, not feeling him.
self suftieiently prepared b. plead, he
Was very desirous OF obtaining post
ponement. A. however, the Court had
already protracted lis session beyond
tho usual period IN consequence sf an
unusual amount Of business. and, Of
course, the jury were getting impatient
TO be released from their duress, he
was well aware that II would be i'm
possible to procure such postponement
unless he could ailegc some extraordi-
nary cause.
Fortunately. or unfortunately, "a the
result proved. he had very lively i'm
agination. aud had quickly formed q
plan which he was sure would be suc-
cessful.
Rising with his handkerchief TO his
eyes. he addressed the Court In great
apparent emotion:
May II please the Court, have Just
heard of the dangerous illness Of my
venerable mother, who IL lying at the
point Of death. Under such circum-
stances, much as l regret prosyactiuc
an already lenethen.d session, must
request that this case be postponed.
My feelings are 80 powerfully agisated
that | ahould be unable 10 do justice
TO the case. feeling, rs do, that my
proper place b At the bedside Of my
mother"
The pathetic appeal was completely
successful. A feeling of earnest sym.
patty for the afflicted counse, pervaded
all hearts; and the Jurors. though anx-
ious TO return 10 their families, were
not sufficiently hard Of heart 10 wish
10 have the business OF - Court pro-
ceed nj such sacrifice of personal
feelings.
The Judge. who was a tender hearted
man. bad risen and was about TO grant
the request of the counsel. when the
deep hush Was broken by shriil voice,
which proceeded from a lady in Qua

railing of the gallery. Il was the mother
