AN IMPORTANT DECISION
by the Supreme Court or New York of
General Interest 10 the Mercan-
tile Commnnity.

NEw YORK, January 2G.-The general
term of the Supreme Court affirmed an or
der OF the court below Of some Importance
in relation to libel suits, and of interest to
the mercantile community generally
Action had been commenced in New
York by party in New Orleans against
the mercantile agency of r. 6. Dun & Co.
for libel. Upon application by the agency
an order was some time ago granted by
Judge Barrett for bill of particulars, which
should specify to whom the alleged libel
had been communicated. The order was ap-
pealed against by the plaintiff, but is now
confirmed by the general term. This
decision makes it imperative, that persons
commencing an action Tor libel must dis
close the names Of the parties furnishing
the information upon which the suit is
based. Merchants will now, doubtless, be
cautious about communicating reported
information furnished by the agency,

THE FAMOUS "WEIssE DAME''
OF the HoheRzeIierlis Seen Before Il
Aites scbioss.

OF The HoheRzeIierHis Seen Before the
Aites Scbi0ss-
BERLIN, January p. ga few nights ago
the famous 'NNeisse dame" or white lady,
the spurious tamiliari of the Hohenzoi,
lein family, is reported to have been, seen
by the sentineIs before the Altes Schloss.
The legend of this apparition is well
known. An ancestress of the Hohenzol-
lerns, Countess Orlambunde, is said to
leave her grave and walk in solemn and
measured step the corridors OF the Altes
Schlnss, in Berlin, whenever any member
of the royal family is about to die. Not.
withstanding their profound skepticism,
most Berliners, strangely enough, still be
lieve the story of the white lady. The
capital is quite excited over the pretended
apparition. All are talking about it, and
wondering what member OF the dynasty i:
next destined TO die.

OMAHA, January 26.-Sherif W. D.
Cannon, of Memphis. is still here, but ex-

to receive requisitions for the two alleged
doctors, Reeves and Turner, by the late

His prisoners are firm in their resolution
not to go without requisition, and if it
does not arrive tonight a Aabeas corpus
proceeding is likely to be had at once.

SAN Francisco, January ee. - Judge
Hoffman. in concurrence with Judge Saw
yer Sabin, OF the United States Court,
rendered decision to-day in the Chinese
habeas corpus cases. He said the Court had
no right to detain vessels bringing false
traders. Cinnamon landed with wrIts OF
hdbedS corpus are not entitled to trial by
jury; that if such is granted the act will
be defeated and converted into a criminal
proceeding. There are 100 Chinese hd6eds
corpus cases on the calendar. All other

consider II necessary Tor Congress to create
commission with final powers TO dispose

Mourning Goods.

From the New York Mail and Express.l
"You can always tell" said clerk in
mourning store to a reporter,
''just what relation the would-be buyer
was to the deceased. The preparation
of the first mourning suit has been re-
duced to system. So many folds of
Grape for parent, SO many for hus-
band, sister or lover, and the like"
s'Do the proprieties of mourning
bother people very much ?"
ooh my, yes; half mourning, worn at
one time for aunts, cousins, etc., is now
almost abandoned. All MORNINGS are
now considerably shorter than they
were. The widows, of course, is the
deepest, and is worn for the longest
period; the mourning of a parent for a
child, or child for parent is the next
degree. The duration of the mourning
season has also been modified by the
world of fashion. Two years is con-
sidered quite the thing for widows, two
years for parent of child, ten months
for a brother or sister, six months for
grand parent, six weeks for an uncle or
aunt. Relatives by marriage are
mourned for just the same as those of
blood. After the loss of near relative
visiting or receiving is not INDUCED in

ings in the markets" Like the Pharf.
sees, they make their own opinions and
pass them off as law.
Outwardly they appear righteous
and within they are full of hypocrisy
and iniquity. II thank Thee that am
not as other men are," is their motto.
Not being as other men are, they have
no honest utilization with other men, no
common basis of action with other men,
unless the other men condescend. to fol-
low their lead and accept their de-
mands, which is in itself the essence of
hypocrisy. They are like the moral
little boys who played marbles with
Emery Storrs-when he was a young
ster. Storrs says that when the good
little boy won he put Storrs' marbles
In his pocket and went home; when
Storrs won, the good little boy wanted
to have his marbles back, and to play
the game over again. Like the Phari-
sees, they assume to monopolize all the
virtues, which have proved to be of
such Democratic sort that in 1876
they supported Ti1den, in 1880 they
supported Hancock, and a year later
they supported Butler in Massa-
chusetts. One would not have to look
far to find that Mr.. George William
Curtis is the chief rabbi among the
Pharisees, and wears the biggest
phylactery. In May, 1875, he examined
Mr.. Blaine's record, and pronounced it
spotless and satisfactory. In 1884 he
refuses to support him, on the ground
that his record is not good, though no
new charge has been fabricated by his
enemies. In 1882 Mr.. Curtis quoted
Mr.. Blaine's speeches in favor of civil
service reform. In 1884 he opposes
him on the ground that he has not adj
vocated civil-service reform, and now
he crowns his hypocritisal record by
declaring that "Blaine was doubtless
the choice of a large majority of the
Republican party" and, by refusing to
support him after taking part in the
convention, sets himself up as above
the laws of honor and as knowing more
than the Republican party, and being
better than it's majority, which is
Phariseeism personifed, and repeating
itself in the old ST thank Thee that l
am not as other men are. "-Chicago
Tribune +. r5...- ..... .....-. ..E. r.. ~.

The Political Pharisees.

The Forthcoming struggle for the
Presidency between the two great
parties will be too serious to allow the
little discontented cliques in New York
and Massachusetts, who hang on to the
Republican party in calm weather and
desert it in the storms to masquerade
as "Reformers" OF Independents any
longer. Their only idea of reform is
not to make any change within the
party by aiding it, but outside the
party by assaulting it. Provided some
man is named as candidate who is ac-
ceptable to them, they are ready to re-
form the party, if only they do not have
to associate with it. If the candidate
is not acceptable to them they go over
to the Democratic party, whose only
doctrines are spoils and State SOW
ereignty, and vote for candidates who
they know will reform nothing.
~ There is but one title which fifty de-
scribes these gentlemen, and that is,
political Pharisees Like the Phari-
sees, they assume TO @sit in Moses
seat" Like the Pharisees, they SAY
and do not" When Mr.. Curtis arose
III Moses seat he said he and his clique
were honorable men or they would not
be there as delegates to the Republican
Convention, but they are not acting
honorably. Like the Pharisees, they
make broad their phylacteries" that
the people may imagine they alone
carry the Republican law and gospel
on their breasts and that they are the
only guides whose counsel it is safe to
follow. Like the Pharisees, they "love
the uppermost rooms at feasts, the
chief seats in the synagogues, and greet
