1t is curious fact, however,
that few, If any, of the Justices of the
Supreme Court have taken advantage of

there have been i've retirements since the

There have been several cases In which

years OF service, have entitled himself d

President would appoint Democratic JUS
ticOsl''
"Well," he said with a smile, d" 1t has
always happened that way except in the
case Of Mr.. Justice Field, appointed by
President Lincoln. He was war Demo-
crat and is a Democrat still, and is well
known"
An examination Of the records show
that while Justice Bradley has already
reached the retiring age and term he will
soon have company. Mr.. Chief Justice
Waite reaches the age Of 20 in November
OF next wear, 50 does Mr.. Justice Field.
Mr.. Justice Miller arrives at the age at
which he may retire on full pay in the
coming month of April. There will be an
effort to induce one, or perhaps all, of
these Justices TO remain on the bench
during the four years term. This effort
will come OF course from the Re
publicans, who hope that by this
means they may secure Republican sue
cessers If they are successful IN their next
presidential campaign. Whether these
fOpr justices, however, can be induced to
hdh % tbIpe years or more after the date
at which they may retire on full pay, is
very doubtful. 1t is a strong temptation
TO a man who has worked hard for 20
years of his life-tor every man who has
earned his place on the Supreme Bench
has worked hnrd-it is a temptation to
him to stop aud rest when he sees that he
may do SO without loss OF salary or dig
nifty. The United States Court Judges are
about the only men in civil life who are
pensiOned. Their salaries, under certain
circumstances, run on like the brook for
ever, or at least until death.

MOTHERS OLD HYMN.

Through the trembling folds Of the twilight

Which mother, whose heart is now still and
cold.
Sang amidst her cares in the days of old. .
There was something about it, underlined,
That charmed into quiet the troubled MIND,
O'er the bleak hearts Drcathcd with spirit
bland,
Like warm south wind DER frozen land.
And browning it all with a strange, deep
chord.
Like the throb OF the heart OF the blessed
Lord.
That shed through the fainting soul abroad
A sense of the pltylug love OF God.
The songs OF the singers that fame has
crowned
in the 0ood OF the years are lost and drowned;

The trainers Of the law retiring justices
after term Of ten years must have had
pretty good idea OF the fitness OF things.
An examination Of the records Of the SUI
preme Court shows that ten ears is Just
about the average length Of time the JUS
tees have served. There have been upon
the Supreme Bench since the establish
ment OF the court, almost hundred years
ago, iifty-One justices. Perhaps it would
be more accurate TO say that titty-one
men have been appointed to this position,
for q few of them have declined. while
one or two others died before entering
upon their duties, The tifty-one justices
have served, altogether, about $40 years
making their average tritle over ten
years each. Some, Of course, served a
much longer time. Chief Justice Mar
shall and Justice Storey were each thirty
four years upon the bench; Justice Nc
Lean thrty-three years; Bushrod Wash
ington thirty-two years, ana Justice
johnson thirty years.
The four justices whose terms so soon
expire, and who are liable to retire at
any time thereafter, are looked upon as
especially valuable men. Chief Justice
Waite ranks very high as member Of the
court, and his opinions, especially upon
railroad cases and other very complicated
issues, are counted extremely important.
lie is man Of fine mind, which is sup
ported by q vigorous body. Indeed, to see
him upon the bench or upon the street
you would scarcely suppose him past 60,
instead Of nearing the age of 10, az he is.
His voice is full and strong, bis broad
shoulders well thrown back, and his jet
black hair ana beard only little mixed
with gray. His home is one OF the most
elegant and attractive in the city, and
his social entertainments during the sea
son are very brilliant.

General Warner Talks About the Pro
posed Extension.
General A. j. Warner mas this to say
about the proposed extension OF The
Cleveland & Pittsburg railroad from Bel
laire to Cincinnati, along the right bank o.
the Ohio
The Cleveland l. Pittsburg was orig
inally intended for construction toward
Cincinnati, but when finished to Bellsire
work was stopped. Years ago the Bslti'
more l. Ohio owned a franchise from
Marietta to Bellaire, but in the natural or.
der of things it lspsed and we through the
action of the Ohio Legislature succeeded
it. Some work has been done in the mat.
ter of grading but not much. Financial
stringency has precluded for number Of
years vigorous inception of work, but it will
be begun before long and pushed TO
completion. At Bellsire the road
connects with the Baltimore and Ohio east
and west. the Ohio River road and the
Bellaire, GAINESVILLE and Cincinnati road,
and will, in q short time, with the Cleve-
land, Tuscarawss Valley and Wheeling
road. We pass through the towns Of Pow
hstan, Darlington, Middleport, ssrdis and
Marietta. At Marietta we strike the Bal.
timore and Ohio's st. Louis branch and
the Cleveland and Marietta road, now q
portion of the Wheeling and Lake Erie
system. From Marietta we pass to Cali.
polls and Portsmouth, taking in the ripsr-
i N towns on the way. We cross the Ohio
Central road opposite PIT Pleasant, thus
opening up to .Pittsburg the interior OF
