Convicted by Court HIartial.

The findings of the naval court martiaa,be.
fore which General Wales wasrecently tried
atWashangton have been made public. The
court sentences him to suspension from.
rank and duty for five years. on furlough
pay. to retain his present nua1ber in his.
grade during that period. DIR. Wales was
tried for ineaiciency in the performance of
duty and for neglect ofduty. He was found
guilty on both charges. In approving the.
sentence the secretary of the navy says:
In expressing its approval of the proceed
angs, findings and sentence in this ease, the
department deems it proper to remark that.
NO dishonest or corrupt act or motive, in
volving any breach OF personalintegrity on
the part OF Medical Director Phillip S. Wales,
as chief OF the bureau OF medicine and sur:
gerry. was alleged against him; nor is there
any evidence in the records which would
have justified charge or which tends to
cast any reflection upon his personal hones-
ty. It Is proper, however to remark that
the charges ''culpable inefticiency in the
performance ofduty' and neglect OF duty'
are fully sustained by the evidence.

The Poet and the Noble,

From Studies in Russia
A young poet had written q most
scurrilous poem, in which he had de-
scribed and libelled not only the EN-.
press, but also all the Grand Dukes
and Duchesses. Some one, the censor
of the press, went and told the EN-
press. ''The man had better be sent
off to Siberia at once" he said; cit is
not case for delay" ooh, no, "said
the Empress; '1wait a. little, but tell
the man desireto see him at 6 o clock
to morrow-evening." When the poor
man was told this, he felt as if the
last hour was come, and that the EN-.
peror Alexander IL. must intend him
self to pronounce a sentence Of eternal
exile. He went to the palace, and was
shown through all the grand state
rooms, one after another, without see
ing anyone, till at last he arrived at
small commonplace room at the end
of them all, where there was single
table with q lamp upon it, and here
he saw the Empress, the Emperor, and
all the Grand Dukes and Duchesses
whom he had mentioned in his poem.
GLOW do you do, sir?' said the Emper-
or. 81 hear you have written a most
beautiful poem, and l have sent for
you that you may read it aloud to us
yourself, and l have invited all the
Grand Dukes and Duchesses to come
that they may have the pleasure OF
hearing you" Then the poor man
Frustrated himself at the Emperor's
feet. "Send me to Siberia, SIRE" he
sald,, force me to become a soldier;
only do not compel me to read that
poem" ooh, sig, you are cruel to re-
fuse me the pleasure, but you will not
be so ungallant as to refuse the En-
press the pleasure Of hearing your
verses, and she will ask you herself"
And the Empress asked him. When
he had finished she said: ~ do not
think he will write any more verses
about us again. He need not go to
Siberia just yet"
A nobleman had entered into a con.
spiracy against the Emperor, and was
sentenced to Siberia. His eyes were
bandaged, and he was put into a dark
carriage, and for seven days and
nights they travelled on and on, only
stopping to take food. At last he felt
they must have reached Siberia, and,
in the utmost anguish, he perceived
that the carriage stopped, and the
bandage was taken off his eyes, and
he was in his home! He had been
driven round and round st. Peters
burg the whole TIME; but the fright
quite cured him.

The Nail Of the Future.
American Machinist.

American 0MacnlnlSG.
IRON cut nails are fast going out OF
fashion. Steel cut nails are driving
them out. Wire nails are coming into
use with great rapidity, and the de-
signing of machinery for making them
is taxing the inventive ability ofmany
good mechanics. It is the opinion Of
some who have carefully studied the
mechanical and metallurgical pro-
gress that steel-wire nails are destined
to come into common use in the near
future. Old Bessemer rails will come
upon the market in large quantities
before many months have passed, be-
cause they are wearing out faster than
was thought possible in the earlier
days of steel tracks. Mr.. Masters has
shown that they can be melted in an
ordinary cupalo and nodded into good
castings, but it is believed that they
can be utilized with more profit by
drawing them into wire. Old steel
rails can be readily worked into wire
of good quality suitable for nails. A
mill has been erected in Syracuse for
making wire from old rails, but it has
not gone into operation. How fast
steel-wire nails will come into use de
ponds largely upon how fast old steel
rails are thrown upon the market.

The Grandeur of the Funeral Pageant.

The Grand eur of the Funeral Pageant.
Anew York dispatch says: Preparations
for the great military pageant, which is to
be the principal feature OF the Grant funer-
al ON the sth, continue with great zeal.
With the exception OF the vast number of
details, which will now take care Of them
Selves these preparations may now be
called completed. Gen. Hancock has ap-
pointed all his aids, and is now occupied
during every working hour OF Tthe day in
receiving and answering applications for
places in the bne. So numerous are these
applications that the principle has been
adopted OF having .organizati ons represent
ed in the procession rather than M arch as q
whole, Cor if the Complete bodies were adj
mitted the line OF march from. tthe city
hall to Riverside Park, distance Of
nine miles, would not contain the mass
of men, So Important has it become to
keep the procession within manageable
limits That very few carriages will be al.
lowed. The decorations OF building of all
kinds continue to increase in number, sex-
tent and variety. Many decorations which
were at first put up aastily, have been re-
modelled and deliberately emblemished.
There is not q building on Broad
way without some token Of mourn
ing. ana the great thorOughfare be-
Dimes more and more fringed with
Sack. The advance demand for car
rdages on thed day OF the funeral has already
practically exhausted the supply. The an
plieation for windows along the line OF
march indicates that the demand viii be
immense. AS much as $3.50 has already
been offered for a single window on Broad
way.
It hass been decided to abandon all
thought OF conveying the remains from
Albany to New Yorkby river although had
this plan been the first suggested it would
have been accepted. 1t was aband oned with

Admission to the Bar.

McMaster, in the second volume of
his "History of the People of the Unit
ed States, F" tells how young men were
admitted to the bar in the early days
of the republic. Upon payment of a
fee Of 81 900 the student began his
apprenticeship in the office Of some
'lawyer' OF "note," where for two
years he read law and copied briefs.
The books with which he made HIM
self acquainted were Coke on Littleton,
Woods Institutes of Civil Law, Burns
Justice OF the. Peace, Hawkins Pleas
of the Crown, Salkeid and Lille, and
some works on chancery practice and
international law "This accomplish
ed, his patron would "take him into
court, seat him at the lawyers table,
whisper to the gentlemen present, and
with their consent, would rise and ask
leave of the court to present a young
man for the oath of an attorney"
With much bowling the judges and law
yers consented, and the oath was adj
ministered. This done the new attor-
ney would be introduced to the bar,
and carried off to the nearest tavern
where health and prosperity would be
drank to him in bumpers of strong
punch" All this has been changed.
Students read none of me above nam
ed works. They read half dozen ell
ementary books and thecode, stand a
rigid examination In court, and are adj
mitted. There is no junketing at the
tavern. 1t is all a dry matter of bust
ness.

the remains to lie in state in Congress Park.
Rev. S. V. Leech, the chaplain OF the state
senate, came in representing the Saratoga
memorial committee, to make a last ap-
peal. He was told that the plans decided
upon were irrev ocable.
Cyrus W. Field cabled from London:
Mrs. o.. S. Grant: The duke of Argyll

Grant how much I feel for her and how
much I value the memory Of her husbands

The people OF Manchester, England,

The Tribune publishes an interview with
Gen Sherman, in which he says:
The parade will be the grandest military
spectacle this city has ever seen. Gen. Han
cock is magnifcently fitted to organize it
and he is hard at work. He will leave moth
ing undone. 1t was good thing to do to
place all these things in his hands. tits GER
tain that Gen Grant regarded Washington
as no fit place for young men, He has
often talked about it. Ny opinion is the
same. Why the army officers who have
been stationed in Washington long, have
never amounted to any thing. The men who
have come up high have made their mark
an the frontier amongthe Indians on the far
off stations. The Washington men become
distinguished as staff officers only. McClel-
Ian is about the only exception and his
case is SO slight an exception as to barely
prove the rule. Taylor and Jackson and
those men came to the top from Indian and
border fighting.
The president, who, at the request OF
Mrs. Grant has selected pail bearers for
Gen. Grants funeral, recently tele-
graphed her to know if she had any
preferences or suggestions to make in the
matter. He received a reply from her by
telegraph, saying that it was her wish that
he should name the pail bearers, and that
the only suggestion she would make was
that in case any prominent Union officer
like Gen. Sherman or Lieut.. Gen. Sheridan
be selected, aleading Confederate officer like
Gen. Johnson or Gen. Buckner be also in
Guided in the list. Mrs. Grants wishes in
this regard were respected. The list OF pall
bearers was announced as follows:
Gen. William T. Sherman, US A.; Lieut.
Gen. Philip H. Sheridan, U. g. A.: Admiral
David D. Porter, U. S. N; Vice Admiral
Stephen c. Rowan, .. S. N; Gen. Joseph

At the cabinet meeting reference was made
to the Grant obsequies, and it was decided
that the president and all the members of
his cabinet would attend the funeral cere-
monies in New York city. The party will

A BIG SENSATION.

Sensational Arrests in San Franclsco-Pl0ta
to Assassinate Prominent Citizens.
SAN FRANCISCO, December 16.-A most
sensational and startling plot for the whole
sale assassination of the most prominent
men in this city came to light here last
night. Some time ago the police obtained
information of the existence OF an
organization called the "S0cialis.
tic Revolutionary Association COM
posed of ultra-socialistic members. A
close watch was kept on their movements
and the police finally succeeded in obtain
ing the minutes of one of their meetings
held November %. From these it was
discovered that it was the intention of the
association to put out of the way about
twenty men, including w. T. Coleman,
Congressman w. w. Morrow. Cen
eral Barnes. Mayor Bartlett. United
States Judge Lorenzo Sawyer. Leland STAN
ford, Charles Croker, Governor Stoneman,
the principal police officials and several
others. These names were placed OIL
the prospective list and placed in the
hands of the executive committee
to carry out the orders of the ass0.
citation. The committee were to devise the
best mode of accomplishing the ends of the
plot and were thus engaged when tho work
was brought to a sudden termination last
night by the discovery of the associations
headquarters by the police and the arrest Of
four men found in the room, named Julius c.
FOsher, Henry Weiseman, Charles Mittel.
stadt and Oscar Eggers. In the room was
also found complete laboratory for the
manufacture of internal machines. The
men were taken to the city prison where
they boldly asserted that they were dyna.
miters and proposed to get rid of the citi-
zens named and then raze Chinatown. The
prisoners also belong to the anti oOlie
League. No charge is yet entered against
them. Further developments are expected.
