that in France, where the Duke 10 resident.
such titles are not recognized, and that tho
Duke holds no public post or office, and
IL . more private person. Lord OoLRRrDaF,
In the course Of his elaborate opinion, In
which the concurrent judgment Of tho five
Judges Is expressed, decides In favor Of
LABOUCaEI,E, anddenles the Dukes applica-
ton. for all the reasons raised In objection.
Lord CoLERIDaE says that 1t must DO some
very unusual publication to Justify an In
dictment or information for aspersln9 tho
character Of the dead. and that such Is not
this case Moreover, although the mere fact
that the applicant was neither resident nor
sojourning In England would not be con-
elusive In every case against him. still that
fact ia proper for consideration when the ap-
plication is to tho discretion Of the Court; and
here In tho exercise Of that discretion tho
rule must DO refused Moreover, the Court also
decides that a peer In private matters and
whom he holds no public Office. Is not entitled
to any interference at tho hands OF the Court
which the Court would not exercise In favor
Of the humblcst subject; and that a criminal
Information Is only to be granted In cases OF
public importance and where some imputa-
ton is cast upon public officer or magis-
trate. Mr.. LABoUcHERE In his paper Of Feb
IA, 1884, speaks OF the subject as follows:
"Tho paragraph Of which tho Duke Of NALLoxnRosA
complained was based upon = Misrepresentation ono

that the matter has left the courts OF law to
that having had the geneaogy Of the Duke looked into
BY independent expert have convinced myself that
his family Is ancient and that HE dukrdom Is
authentic title which has down to him through
number OF ancestors"
It is probable that this statement will
appease both the spirit Of tho present Duke
and the angry ghost OF his grandfather. and
that the controversy, while it will DO pre-
served in tho law books us q celebrated case
involving important questions OF law, will
cease to be subject OF litigation.

There IL no question that the grammars and
other elementary books take the same view
with our correspondent. Moreover. the original
Significance Of the word either" whether in
the English language or in the earlier tongues
out Of which the English was built up. Is pre-
cisely what our correspondent states.
There is however. a growing tendency toward
a wider application Of the word. This Ia recoH.
nized In the latest edition 1889 OF Worcester's
Dictionary. which gives any one Of an indeter-
inmate number as one Of its meanings quoting
from Hale. without stating what Hale 1t is the
phrase Either Of several Provinces" In the
same way. WEDsTER's Dictionary says It is used
properly of two things. but sometimes OF
larger number; as either Of two oranges. or Of
ten oranges"
This. We think. is a legitimate evolution.
Logically. either" may be applied not only to
one OF two. but to one of many. In tho latter
case tho strict meaning OF the phrase Is
either ono or another among many"
We trust our correspondent may live thou
sand years and bs happy all the time: and We
presume that during this prolonged period he
will not only find the phrase he objects to de-
liberately employed In THE SUN whenever 1t
Is convenient. but that he will also find 1t
adopted as an elegant and appropriate form
In universal usage

\ navt.h Methods OF ohsai1ing Money
and Store Seeds.


The following Is actually true: A
fev days before the election two gen
tlemen made bet as 70 who vonld be
silk hst. Mr.. won. Meeting q
friend. whom We shall designate az B.
the day after election. he remarked that
be had won a silk hat, but couldn't
think OF wearing it. Well" inter
ruotsd his friend. IN accept it."
All right" replied A: go 10 Gold
STEMS, get the bat, and tell him to send
the bill to Mr.. G AMI he will pay il. +"
All right much Obliged" Il went to
the halter and said: Charley, | have
an order for $40 silk hat. Now.
never wear a silk hat, and IL il ia Just
the same TO you. | will take a s. bat
aud s. IN cain. hut first collect the $40
from c." The $40 vas collected. and b
got the hat and the coin. A and G will
feel like kicking themselves when they
read this.
The foregoing is from the Herald.
The same story, or enc very like it, was
told Us, and it runs in about this way:
Lawyer c. made bet with Law
yer H of $40 hat on the result of
the election for Mayor. Lawyer H
Won. Speaking of the bet on the street
aftervard, Lawyer H said he did
lot need new hat, and thought
be would not get one. A hystander
named Gordon Immediately spoke up ::
Give 1t to me, then" Lawyer H
said be would, and proceeded forth
With to give Gordon a written order on
Goldsteiu for $40 hat. Gordon told
the halter he wanted ouly a s. hat, and
would take IS in money besides. The
batter gave him the money and
CHEAPER ta., and on presenting the bill
Tor $40 to Lawyer C. it was paid.
Lawyer H aftervard heard OF this
dlsreputahle performance on the part Of
Gordon, and was exceedingly wrothy
thereat.
While telling stories we may as we'll
narrate another. Last Decsmber this
same unscrupulous, dishonest fellow.
Gordon went among the people begging
money with which to buy a gold waton
for his employer, the manager of the
EreHiHg Herald. Is is not Known Just
how much be got, but the amount was
considerable, and the watch was hougtt
and duly presented, accompanied by a
glowing statement in the Herald and
banquet at the expense of the manager.
A month or two later the latter individ-
uai concluded to have an appropriate
inscription put upon his new tisep:ece.
Taking it to jewelsr he stated his
errand. The jeweler examined the
watch carefully, remarking finally that
that watch belonged to him and he
would keep it. Ii had been taken out
of his store under false pretenses, had
never been paid for, and, now that he
had it again, he guessed he'd hold it.
The newspaper manager went away
without his watch, and, besides, was ont
a pretty sum for wine supper at the
Brunswick. The money was never re-
funded to the subscribers, but was kept
by Gordon.
This Gordon, by the way, is the same
fellow who last week circulated the dirty
doegerel about Judge Greene and the
ladies of this city and county, and for
whom no act is too low or dirty for COM
mission.
