THE LAST HOURS AT HOME.

The Remains Of the Late Vice-President
Taken to the Court-House.
Another day dawns bright and clear. It is the
day Of universal quietude and rest, and now is
saddened by Nations sorrow. In few hours
more the remains of the dead Vice president
the honored citizen, the beloved husband
they lie in his old home, reposing in
eternal sleep, to the catafaque, where the public
will take last view of his familiar face before
it is closed in the darkness of the tomb. The
chilled air of the early morning is mel
lowed by the rising sun, and soon, with
the measured pace of the sentinel, who
has been moving back and forth in front
of the house through the night, are united the
noises of other feet. They linger to gaze at the
house in which the great man has spent the
last years Of his lfe and in which his spirit
took its flight Soon there is group, and be-
fore the sun is two hours high the, groups
have thickened into a throng. Reverence
for the dead holds in restraint
any curiosity that there may be-
for the conversation is all in subdued tones and
there is overstepping of the lines of proprety.
They have known the distinguished statesman
as fellow citizen and friend, and the feeling
which rules them is desire to do honor to his
memory. The intimate friends of the bereaved
widow begin to call. Her sleep dur
ing the night has not been restful, and
she appears wearied. The circle Of sympathiz-
ing friends are tendery watchful, and are care
full in their conversation to not say anything
sensitive to her sorrow. It is apparent that
she is striving to bear her burden of grief hero
ically. She joins with her friends and pastor in
the customary devotional service, and
at it's conclusion goes alone to look
upon the face Of her dead husband
for the last time before his remains are carried
from the house to lie in state. She fingers for
several minutes. and returns to her friends. The
devoted wifes mournful farewell is over and
the casket is sealed, so that all is now in readi-
ness for the pomp of public honor to the dead
statesman.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29-The President this
afternoon determined not to make the trip to
Indianapolis. To the representative of the AS
socated Press he said

perched two white doves. Back of these stands

The Common Law.

Not all the law under which we live
has been passed by legislatures. A
large part OF the law originated in the
decisions of judges and has no other
authority than that so obtained.
How it has grown upmay be illustrat-
ed by an actual case.
Many years ago in England, a man
named Coggs wanted a cask OF wine
moved from one cellar to another.
A friend named Bernard, a truckman,
offered to do the job for nothing, but
by his carelessness the cask was brok-
en- and the wine leaked out.
Coggs sued Bernard for damages.
Bernard s lawyer commended that his
client could not be made to pay any
thing because he had undertaken the
job as favor and not for pay. There
was no law covering the case. and the
point had never been raised before.
The Judge after careful study, decided
that Bernard must pay for the wine.
His reasoning was SO strong and
convincing that the case, Coggs against

all suits, bothin England and America,
in which the same point was at issue,
have since been decided in accordance
with the principle then laid down.
This principle has thus become a part
OF the common law" which, as every
one can see, is only common sense APP
piled to the administration of justice.
All judges are not wise, however.
When one OF them has made a decis-
ion not in accordance with equity and
Gommon-sense it has not been accept
ed. A wiser Judge has come over the
same ground, has given a more just
decision, and has reasoned more pow
erfully and Clearly. Then his decision
has become the authority.
Very much Of our statute law has
been enacted to override and supersede
the common law-to provide for ex.
ceptional cases where the common law
would work badly, or to establish
rules for the decision of cases in which
it is necessary that men should yield
q part OF the rights that strict equity
would secure to them, for the benefit
OF society.-Youth's Companion.

Fine Opals..

The finest opals are now found in
Hungarian mines. When first extract
ed from their native n1atrix, the gems
are soft, friable, tender and easily
broken. The first thing to be done is
to expose them to the air ndlight for
q few days, until they have become
hard, and then their colors begin to
appear. At the same time the change
takes place in the gem it becomes re.
duced in size from the evaporation Of
the quarry water contained in its
veins. Great care must be exercised
in drying the stone, or it will split and
crack in a thousand directions and
become utterly worthless. It is also
liable to another calamity, if exposed
to q high temperature that is, of los
ing iridescence, and, when this once
happens, the stone is absolutely worth.

From the Albany Express.
The Rev. D. r. Lowell of the Ash
Grove Methodist Church in this city,
read q paper before a small but at
tentive gathering III the lecture room
| of the Hudson Avenue Methodist
Church. He dwelt upon the different
ways that people present themselves
for marriage, the sad results OF some
marriages, and the amusing incidents
that occur. Mr.. Lowell said: Cali
that pertains to the work of the NM
istry is OF interest, and profitable to
us as we exchange our thoughts in
conference. Every minister has varl-
Gus experiences in starting people in
married life. Sometimes these expe-
riences are pleasant, sometimes sad
and amusing, and ottentlmes very an

scented themselves for marriage. After
the ceremony had been performed
they left apparently happy. On the
day following the man returned and
wanted the marriage undone, but all
l could do was simply to refer them to

ing, and yet sad, is where l once mar
ried young couple, and when l had
pronounced them man and wife the
young man paid me 81, and explained
he was unable to pay more, as he had
just lost what little money he had
possessed. A short time afterward
his wife died and this young man
came to borrow 50 from me, promis-
ing to return It i'll a day or two; but
instead of returning it he went to q

forward, not leaning on the arm Of,
