"uncle sam and a sheriff.

Tho ease of the United States vs.. T. j.,
Jackson, sheriff of Limestone county,
was called up yesterday before j. NJ.
Mccormick; United States commits
sioner. The defendant is accused of re-
sisting the execution of II process from
the federal court of this district. The
points of the ease, as learned, are about
ms follows: \ year Or so ago the FursJ ~
Bradley manufacturing company sued
ont an attachment in the district court
OF Limestone county against NJ. Adams
IL Sons, and the writ was levied on GER
tain property and the same taken in
charge by Sheriff Jackson. Some
months after the case was removed to
tho United States court Mt Dallas, the
sheriff still retaining the goods by viz
tue of the attachment. No order was
even made by the court directing the
sheriff to deliver the goods
to the marshal, and hence the
sheriff claims that until such
order is made, the goods are in legal
custody, and that he has a right to re-
tain them until the money expended by
him for storage, Insurance., expense of
invoice, etc, incurred by him is paid.
The plaintiffs in the suit VS.. Adams IL
Son, recovered judgment at the June
term OF United States court and had an
execution issued. 1t was the refusal of
the sheriff to give up the goods to the
marshal to satisfy the G, Q luton in ques-
ton, which caused the criminal proceed
ings and the arrest of the sheriff. TIE
government was not ready for trial and
the case was continued until next Tues
day, when a preliminary hearing will be
had before the commissioner. Messrs.
jeff Ward and J.. +. Smith represent
Sheriff Jackson and Mr.. Plowman as
sists in the prosecution. The sheriff
gave bond in the sum of 5000 for his APP

Tue course of France, in the wal
which has just been inaugurated in China,
neither demands nor can it re GIVE any
words OF commentator. A slight op-
portunity was Afforded to acquire a Little
cheap glory, together with graf material
concessions. and if the pgtails hal
granted all demands originally made the
billigerent French seemed disposed tu
slaughter them anyhow, just for the fun
of the thing. Considering the diplomatic
morality which exists throughout the con-
tinent, the course Of France cannot ue
said to have shocked any squcam 'sh Sen
ument There is not a nation III Europe
to-day, placed as France was, that wonl /
not have gladly accepted the opportunity
of slaughtering the Chinese to get a gra-r
upon their possessions. The question Of
whether the act Is right or wrong gives
way to tho consideration whether any
thing can be gained by such warfare.
France can affOrl to ride a high horse,
and with all the ~death-deilng impl =
ments of modern warfare, and with u foe
as utterly unprepArcd as it is untitled to
cope with them, they can readily carry
destruction aud disaster wherever they
appear.
Some COOL may possibly ono 90 the
Chinese out Of all the suffering That is in
store for them. Ii more Of their ports
are freely thrown open to the
commerce Of the worll and their
rigid exclusiveness is relaxed So
that they my BE- brous ht into closer
relations with modern civilization, they
may be the gamers in the enl
But after all it is open TO question
whether the introduction Of European
civilization Will bring tn heather more
happiness than he now enjoys. In the
seaports where the Chinese alone freely
intermix with Europeans they have
reached a depth Of degradation compared
with which the most monstrous vices Of
civilization seem insignificant The
heather seems TO judiciously select the
bad from tue good in what he secs, and.
exercising his fertile engenuity, makes
bad worse.
A few doughty Gallo warriors will
probably find an ra'imely grave in tho
Flowery Kingdom. but most Of them will
have a chance o smcll powder aud return
home after o brief campaign covered all
over with glory of 4 not too costly
character.

The stained-GIa-- Mania.

New York Cor. Boston Gazette.
II | was building n house, do you know !
really don't think that | would ave a pane
of stained glass in III l I'm getting so thor
oughly disguised with the stained glass orgies
held in every new building. no matter what
its purpose, that my eyes are rejoiced at the
sight OF a clear, unauthorized sheet Of glass.
That Is the worst Of following any fashion.
You soon find yourself ono of thousands, and
you lose your individuality nowadays in the
modern craze for decorative art and archi-
lecture as much as in the old days of u~gliness.
Some houses l go into are little less than
bric-a-brac shops, and they look no more like
houses than Herter's or Cottier's salss-rooms
1t is a luxury for me to visit at a certain
house where there have been few changes in
the furnishing for the last twenty-five years.
There are, to be sure, some little bits sugges-
tive Of the day, but the main body OF furni-
ture is OF the past, and 1t has the look of hav-
ing been used. There is no decorative art
visible. The plates that line the frieze in the
dining.room were put there years ago, and
the collection Of fine china is kept in an old
cabinet Everything is handsome and lux.
urious, but it is not like every other new
house in New York. My principal objection
to taine glass Is that 1t seems to be the
great bar-room piece de resistance. Every
place where liquor is sold, from Avenue A to
Broadway, is resplendent in stained glass, and
at the Leland house 1t reaches its height. 1t
Is at Its handsomest there, too. Polished
mahogany and heavy colored glass dazzle the
eye OF the passer-by. At night the upper
part OF Broadway, where bar-rooms abound,
looks like q Kaleidoscope gone mad.
