The Boston Advertiser says that the case
of SHEDDEx vs.. PATRICK, dragged along in
the English courts seventy years. Finally
it reached the House Of Lords. Owing to
the enormous mass Of documents tie Lord
Chancellor and the counsel declared that
the case was uninteligible. One of the
claimants, u woman, boldly stepped into the
arena and argued her case for twenty-three
DAYS. She had the documentary evidence
at her tongues end, and presented her
claims with astonishing clearness and abil-
ity. The decision was against her, and
when the noble Lords were delivering their
opinions she broke in with such hery inter
ruptions that the Lord Chancellor threatened
to have her removed. 1t was q strange
scene for that high court, the pathos of a
woman's despair mingled with the absurd
indignation of a bewigged Chancellor
squirming upon his own woOlssck. The
noyelists have not yet used up all the
romantic law cases.

THE Illinois Legislature has been in ses-
sion over fifty days, and nothing in the way
of legislation has been accomplished in the
house. AS it will take twenty days to elect
Judge Logans successor, the house will
have a chance to get down to business. The
Republicans will not vote tor a Senator until
the vacancy is filed, and there will, therefore
be no nnnrnm in Joint session.

IT is quite probable that the condition OF
General GRANT is even more critical than
the dispatches from New York indicate.
There have been good reasons for conceal
ing the gravity Of his illness. Those reasons
exist as much today as ever. They would
doubtless control the u~tterance of his physi-
clans and friends if his condition were not
so dangerous as to make his immediate
death a serious possibility. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that the life of Americas great
soldier should terminate amid the gloom Of
financial distress, personal modification
and the bitterness of worldly failure.
