"Although the report Of the District com

decision Of Squire Newton Keene who dis
pensed justice in this town Just after the

LIFE IN THE SUPREME COURT
The Judges and Their wives, Sons, ana
Daughters All Like One Big Family.
New York EXPIRES


New York Expressl
The members Of the Supreme Court of
the United States, with,their immediate rel
atves, are like great family. They are
companions for life, In the nature of the
case, and they have always recognized this
fact in their social relations. They are al
on intimate terms they share mutual sor-
sows and Joys; they know each others
homes almost as well as their own; they all
all take kindly interest in the public and
private affairs of each other, and they all
Conspre to maintain the dignities and
the traditions of their little circle. When
the son Of MIR. Justice Strong, of the Su-
preme Court, was married by the son OF
Mr.. Justice Harlan, Of the Supreme Court
| the grandson Of Justice Grier of the Su
! preme Court being the best man, the mem
bers of the Supreme Court and their fanl-
| ilies were all PRESENT. except Justice Woods,
| who Is i'll to bless the marriage and kiss
| the bride. And so another addition was
welcomed to the Supreme Court family.
| Justice Gray interests them all very much,
| just as he interests everybody, because he
| still remains bachelor Chief Justice
! Waite has wife and daughter and several
sons, and all the other members of the court
are equally fortunate in being married,
although two Of them have no children.
But Justice Gray ia persistently and exas-
| peratingly single-a regular rosy.cheeked,
happy.faced, big, stout bachelor. He is
very large-.the largest man who walks on
| Pennsylvania avenue. He stoops under
most doorways. But he keeps up his exer-
else both mental and physical, SO rigor-
ously that he looks thinner and trimmer
than he Is. He is terrible
worker-he will work all day
at the capitol and work all night In his well
equipped library, and then begin the next
days work with the zest which none but the
perfectly healthy man can know. He goes
out very little outside OF the family re-
unions, so TO speak, OF the Supreme Court.
lie never stays long anywhere except at a
Supreme Court house. lie dashes In, says
something light and sweet, and dashes out
again. lie is apt to be tritle diflident
with young women. He knows he Ia a
bachelor. He insists, too, that he proposes To
continue one, and stoutly denies all those
stories about his being engaged. lie is
welded, he says, to his ambition. We shall
see. In the old days, the members OF the Su'
preme Court dined almost constantly to
gether. Now they DO so once month. They
began at Justice Fields. This was the first
formal introduction Of Mrs. Matthews, The
second wife of Mr.. Justice Stanley Mat
thews, to the Supreme Court family Th'
fact that she is u bride will make her the
guest of honor at all the dinners the Su-
preme Court family gives this winter ex
cept that which she will give when her turr
comes.

MISS RIvEs. tue NOVELIST,
A Pretty Woman who Can Make Read
able Books.

Miss Amelia Rives, the pretty Virginia
novelist, who caused something Of sensa-
ton by her "Brother to Dreyons," in the
Atlantic Monthly" last spring, will, 1t is
said, pass the winter in this city as the guest
of one of the Virginia congressman. She
has been pictured by imaginative writers
as wonderfully beautiful, and rich as well
as talented. There is just little
truth in the picture, She Is good
looking and attractive, but few
would call her beauty. There is nothing
"divinely taln about her form, nor can It
be said to be "lithe and willowy," as has
been reported. Rather the contrary is the
case. She is below the average height Of
women, and so comfortably stout, though
graceful, as to preclude all idea of divinity
Her face Is plump, has the rich complexion
which only health gives, and is frightened
by very expressive blue eyes. Her fea-
lures are not regular, but the irregu.
larity would not be noticed until
each feature came under individual
observation. The fact is that she looks to
be precisely what she is--a pretty, healthy
girl who has passed her life in the country
aud not contracted the 'pale ennui" which
often falls to the lot OF society women.
Her friends say that she is a brilliant con
verser, and can talk political economy in u
way that surprises men. 1t is said that she
takes great delight In getting into an argu-
ment on the tariff or currency with some
veteran legislator and giving him the benefit
Of her views, which are always unique and
interesting II not quite sound.
AS literary worker she to have all
the eccentricities OF genius. Though an
ambitious young woman she does not work
steadily, sometimes allowing months to pass
without penning a line, and then examining
four or five weeks work into one week
when the "frenzy" comes on. The marked
success of "a Brother to Dreyons" decided
her on the intention of devoting her life to
literary work, and her friends are sure that
she will one day stand side by side with
Mrs. Burnett as writer of fiction
As to her wealth while 1t is not what 1t
has been represented to he, 1t is sufficient
to sucure her from the financial troubles
which are usually source OF mental dis
duIetude to writers. Her father Is a wealthy
Virginia farmer, living in Albemarle county,
aud Miss Riyes has good many thousands
In her own right. She is not much OF So
ciety woman and has an aversion for cities.
Those who know her intimately say that
she comes here this winter not
for social pleasures, but to see some
thing of capital society with the purpose OF
using the results OF her observation In a
coming story. Should this be true and be
generally known, society people would be
inclined to be on their good behavior while
the bright Virginia girl is around. II she
should succeed in drawing u good picture
of Washington life she will do what no
one else has accomplished so far, for all the
pictures yet drawn have been caricatures or
utterly colorless.

FARMER KERN'S EEL.
A Venerable Fish That Does Good Ser

n NenerhDte FISH ihat Does ooOu SCR
vice as n Barometer.
American Angler.
In the GUNNER of 1868 Peter Kern, of
Washington township, Pa, caught small
eel on a set line and put it into a well In his
yard. The eel is still In the we'll, and ia
four feet long and eight inches in diameter
around the middle. 1t has gained wide
reputation as weather prophet, as it is an
infallible foreteller Of rain. From the time
the eel was put into the well until the pres
ent time 1t has kept itself concealed among
the stones on the bottom, except at irregu'
lar intervals when It would appear on the
surface of the water, where 1t would swim
for hours and then disappear again. 1t was
finally noticed that these appearances Of
the eel were invariably followed by rain
within day or two. For over fifteen ears
this living Barometer has proved infallible
and the representations OF Farmer Kern's
eel are accepted by the farmers who live
near enough to have the advantage of them
as an unvarying rule by which TO lay out
their work. No one ever passes Kern's
place without inquiries whether the ell has
been seen lately, and instead of the question
one hears everywhere else "Do you think
wen have rain ~ the regular daily inquiry
In the Kern's neighborhood is; "What
does the eel say?'
During haying and harvest and other
critical periods of farm work the farmers
for miles around send every day to Kern's
for intelligence OF the eel, In times Of
drought the weather prophet is also the
constant object of anxious inquiry, The
eel not only gives warning of approaching
rain, but its appearance In the well any day
during storm is sure indication that the
storm will last a day longer.
The longest time the eel was ever con-
cealed was during the memorable drought
OF 1876. The eel appeared on July o. II
rained on the 10th and llth, From then
until Oct. 10 the eel was not seen, and In
all that time there was no rain, with the
exception of few light thunder showers.
The eel never appeared to foretell thunder
showers. The sight Of Kern's weather
prophet In the well any time during that
summer would have been cause for general
thanksgiving, but when he did put in an
appearance 1t was to late to do that years
crop any good, The eel came to the surface
on Oct. l6, and was in sight all day and
part of the l7th. On the 18th the great
rainstOrm that lasted nearly a week and did
as much damage by flood as the dry weather
had by drought, came on, A pecularty of
this eel is that it will have no other kind of
fish in the well. Trout, catfish, and other
lish have been put in the well, but the eel
kills them.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, The Ma

tlining to the prosperity and the development
of the resources of Virginia The people truly
appreciate the services of such an able advo

ticn to Iloudoun county, which Is a near neigh.
lOT 10 the national metropolis. This county
was formed in 1857 from Fairfax, aud named
IN honor OF the Earl OF LOudaun, commander
Ot the military affairs In America during the
Ia ter part of the French and Indian war,

Bnll Run, ioTsepen, Quaker branch, Cat0ctin,
Limestone run, and their numerous tributaries.
The county has an area of 62O square miles;
population in 1880, 1854. The Washington
aud Ohio railroad traveTses the central pOr-
iOn of the county from east TO-, west, bringing
II Into easy communication with Washington
city and other points. There are twenty-five
"dtinties in Virginia having larger area than
lOudoun, but its real estate value Is larger
innn any, aggregating more than S9.OOl,OWl.
The lands are rich and productive. This
county takes first rank in the production OF
Indian corn-according to the census of 1850
her annual product was i,ll3,2Oi bushels
More than half million pounds of butter
are produced in this county annually.
The people of the county are intelligent and
industrious, Travel through the county, and
any one will be convinced of that fact.
Large numbers of northern men have settled
