RI. Sims Reeve was lately mulctsd
in ESQ damages for not singing at a
concert got up by a local u seller
in a small English town. His defence
chat he was disabled by hoarseness from
performing his contract was net salts
factory to the special jury which tried
the case. Many verdicts like the above
would prevent hoarseness from attack
ing singers at the wrong time.

Lord Bramweil recently, in giving
Judgment in an important Scotch Law
suit took occasion to review briefly the
celebrated case of Shylock VS.. Antonio
(Shakspere's Reports), and said ~
ann quite certain that 1 would have de-
cided that case in the way fair Portis
did; not, perhaps, upon all the same
reasons, bat upon some of them. AS .
matter of fact, Shylock never had the
pound of flesh which could be called
hist had never been appropriated tc
him and he could only get it by a con.
siderable crime, no less than murder.
But If the pound of flesh had been APP
propriated to him, I should have given
the pound of flesh to Shylock."
This is from a private letter from
George Eliot: Dickens death came az
a great shock TO us. He lunched with
us just before we went abroad, and was
telling us a story of President Lincoln
having told the Council, on the day he
was shot, that something remarkable
would happen, because he had just
dreamt, for the third time, q dream
which twice before had preceded events
~momentous In the nation. The dream
was that he was in boat on q great
river, all alone, and he ended with Che
words, Il drift drift drift Dick.
ems told this very finely"
Strange sights are 10 be seen in our
large cities. The other day, in New
York, a richly dressed, handsome woman
about thirty years of age, was found In
toxicated in 9 street car. She was re-
moved by a policeman, and placed in
the alcoholic ward hospital. Diamonds
sparkled in her ears. and her sealskin
sacque open at the throat displayed q
gold pin. Her dress was of silk. Three
rings glittered on her hands, and she
wore o handsome watch and chain. In
her pocket book was found q newspaper
clipping stating that Eliza nall mas
rAeA;pad an ahsnlnte dignrea from .Inhn
Hall" She answered no questions, but
it was evident that she had a pathetic
history.
A pleasant little episode occurred on
the occasion Of the call Of the Justices
of the Supreme Court on the President
the other day. Justice Miller, whose
Republicanism is Of the staunchest
character, and whose name has FREE
~quently been mentioned in connection
with the nomination for the Presidency,
took Mr.. Cleveland by the hand and
said "Mr. President, Mr.. Benton once
said Of the Court, in politics we are
none. we are mol qulJ0 80 IaT unseX-
ed as that, but / wish to say for my as
sociation, as well as for myself, that we
cordially Welcome you to the Capital,
and wish your administration every
success"
