SCENE IN CoURT.-In the Washington
Circuit Court yesterday there was quite a
scene. On the previous evening the case
was given to the jury in the matter
of Tayloe against Lewis, involving the
validity of the will of the late Virginia
Tayloe, made in 1872, giving the estate to
her niece, Virginia Tayloe Lewis. The case
came up from the Probate Court, and has
been on trial for week. The jury last night
brought in sealed verdict, but when this
morning the jurors were called, one Of them
said 'I withdraw my name," and stated
that he was not clear in his mind. In an.
swer to the interrogatories of the court he
said his name was Beckman, and that he
signed the verdict under protest, as he
wanted to 60 home. The court directed
the verdict to be read and the jury polled.
The verdict sustained the paper over which
the controversy has occurred as the last
will and testament of the deceased, and the
jury so answered until Beckman's name
was called, when he objected, and he de-
clared that the verdict read was not his.
The court, speaking with earnestness, then
said "Tbe result Of this thing is that there
is no verdict. By reason of the gross mis-.
conduct of juror the whole weeks work
and more goes for nothing. 1t was a gross
neglect of his duty and gross contempt of
the court. Mr.. Beckman is for that con-
tempt iiued $50 and is discharged from fur
ther service during this term." There being
So due Beckman as juror, the court d.
rected the fine to be paid out of that sum-

A SNAKE IN A SLEEPING CAR.-"The
liveliest time ! ever had on the road said
the sleeping car conductor, twas one night
when snake got loose in my car. We
were coming east from st. Louis, and out at
Effingham, H., we took on family of Pitts
burghers bound for home. There was a
boy of ten in the party who carried little
wicker cage in his hand, partly wrapped up,
! thought, of course, he had a bird in it, and
allowed him to take it with him into the
car That night at Dayton, which we
reached at half-past 9 o'clock, a pretty
young lady was put aboard and took a
berth at the end of the car near the ladies'
dressing room. About 10 o'clock | was at
the other end of the car, looking at the por-
ter backing the boots, when suddenly there
came from the dressing room some of the
shrillest screaming you ever heard-so keen
that we heard it over the noise Of the train.
| rushed through the car, followed by the
porter, and found the little lady who had
gotten OH at Dayton perched on tip-toes on
the wash-stand, frightened out of her wits,
aud pointing ut something OH the floor. She
was so excited that | couldn't make out
what she was saying, but looked down and
there was nasty little green snake coiled
up in the middle of the floor and moving his
head about from side to side, evidently ready
for fight. wasn't exactly afraid Of the
thing, but it did give me creepy sort of
feeling to see it in my car, and l was just
about to kill it, when heard somebody be-
hind me yelling: "It's my snake! Don't
kill itr and the boy who brought the cage
into the car rushed in and took the snake
up in his hands. But when the boy had put
the snake back into his cage settled mat
tiers by dropping the cage, snake and all,
out of the window. felt like dropping the
boy out, too. The boy had put the cage
under the berth on the floor, and when the
porter was fishing out the boots he must
have upset it and let the snake out.

THE OBSERVANCE of the Fourth of July
as national holiday in this country is to
be commended for other than patriotic rea-
sons, says the New York Herald. At this
season almost every one needs little rest
after the facilitating thermal changes of May
and June. A little rest and recuperation
are also needed now to prepare the system
to endure the fercer heats that midsummer
brings in its train. 1t would be rather a
gain than loss for almost every class of
people if they could take more than single
day from labor at this period.

The investigation at the Eastern Lunatic
Asylum, at Williamsburg, shows that the
recent poisoning of dogs on the grounds
there was done with strychnine or some
thing taken from the dispensary, and pro-
badly by one who was at that time an en-
ploye of the asylum. He wanted to kill the
dogs, which had become troublesome, but
after the great cutlery about the matter-or
for some other reason-deemed it prudent
not to discover himself to the authorities,

SOME REPUBLICAN papers aliuue 10
Blaine as a second Henry Clay;" we have
no disposition to deny him credit for the
possession of some ability and the capacity to
enthuse his followers in the support OF any
cause good or bad that he may espouse, be-
cause of a personal magnetism, the result OF
a bold, aggressive and defiant disposition.
To this extent he may be said to resemble
GLORIOUS old Hail." but there the parallel
ceases. Clay was not only soul inspiring
orator, but he was conservative statesman
of broad and comprehensive views; pa
triot, with heart large enough to sympa-
thize with the wants and necessities OF the
entire country; he was the great COM
moner" who knew only his common country.
Who would dare say this of the bloody
shirt statesman of Maine? True, he has
known no South save only to trample upon
it's every right and degrade its people so far
as it could be accomplished by hostile and
sectional legislation. A second Henry
Clay" indeed AS we'll compare minnoW
to a whale, a statesman and patriot of
worldwide reputation to politician SIM
ply whose notoriety has for its basis his
hatred of a vast section of his country.

LET THERE be unity and harmony at Chi
cago. Whatever differences of opinion
there may be should be adjusted before the
convention meets. If it could be possible
to make nomination by reclamation the
result would be most beneficial to the party
and go long way towards success in the
election. Any pure and honest man will
be welcomed by the people, who wish the
government restored to its pristine virtue

OF ALL the many acts OF the President
which have disgraced his administration
there is none which shows smaller, meaner
and more malicious spirit than his veto OF
the bill for the relief of General Fitz-John
Porter. The bill had passed the House by
a majority of the Northern members, and
the Senate, though that body has a repub-
lican majority. Its passage was recon-
mended by all, except the worst one, of the
surviving members of the court martial, by
all the members Of the more recent court of
inquiry, and by General Grant, who had
approved the finding. The President had
induced the belief that he would approve
the bill, and he doubtless would have done
so had he, instead of Blaine, been the
Presidential nominee. His party not con-
ferring upon him that honor all his gall has
risen against it, and he has performed an
act we'll calculated to induce all fair minded
men to vote for change of administration
that will at least allow gross wrong to be
righted.

bonds are generally steady.
The Philadelphia Record Of today says: las
was to be expected there is noticeable increase
of easiness in money transactions this week. The
banks are recovering their wits and their deposits
at the same time and are using their money with
discriminating judgment in discounting the bills
of regular customers The banks that have re-
sumed their usual lines of discount to regular
customers have shown undoubted wisdom. Ii the
cash that is now flowing into their vaults is wisely
loaned out again. the interruption of confidence
growing out Of the speculative catastrophes in
