WASHINGTON, April 14.--Mrs. Degrassie
Bulkley, daughter of Judge G. j. Hillyeri
died Wednesday night, at her fathers
residence, from the effnetts poison,
taken with suiSisia1 :1,tent on the previous
day. she ras taken very i'll on Wednes-
day morning, and physicians were hastily
summoned. Every effort was made TO
save her life, but without avail. Miss
Bessie Hillyer, who was engaged to be
married to w. L. Trenholm, son of the
Comptroller of the Curreray, on February
3, was married on the Goth of last Decem-
Der to Degrassie Bulkley, IN Baltimore.
The sensation that was caused by the
elopement of the young couple, accom-
panied to Baltimore by Mr.. Antonio
Nogueras, son of the Portuguese Minister,
is still distinctly remembered.
1t was the talk of society for week,
when fresh impetus was given by the
filing Of bill for divorce in the name of
Bessie Hillyer Bulkley, asking that the
marriage be declared void, alleging that
undue influence was used to effect it, and
that Mr.. Bnlkley was under age at the
time.
To this there came number of denials.
Mr.. Nogueras stated that Miss Hillyer
seemed to be acting Of her free will, and
Rev. Mr.. Ferguson, the Baltimore clergy
man who performed the marriage,
said that he failed to see any
constraint in her actions. The
county clerk in Baltimore said that
young Mr.. Bulkley had declared he was
of age. Mrs. Bulkley had returned to the
residence of her father after her mar
riage, and remained there until December
30 On that day conference was held at
the office of II. G. Cady, in this city, at
which young Mrs. Bulkley appeared, ac-
companied by Senator Stewart, friend
of the family, and young Bulkley. Then
the case was finally laid before her for
decision. 1t was shown how her father
was opposed to the marriage, but she was
told to take her choice of husbands.
81 shall go with Grassie," she declared
and the young couple left the office.
They went to a hotel and remained a
week. They then went to live at private
residence, but the bride remained but a
fewyiays going home, where she has since
lived. The family and friends refrained
from giving any reason for the step,
which was said to be final. 1t was stated
that divorce proceedings would follow.
Young Bulkley refused to discuss the
matter. The family are especially sor-
rowful on account of the peculiar circum-
stances surrounding the case.

TRIBUTE TO JUSTICE.
Eloquent and weHTimed Words of Gem
eraI John B. Henderson i'm the Supreme
Court of the United states.

ELOQUENT
eraI John B. Henderson i'm the Supreme
Court of the United states.
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-General John
B. Henderson, of st. Louis, concluded a
legal argument before the Supreme Court
of the United States one day this week
with tribute which has occasioned not a
little favorable comment. 1t was tribute
particularly appropriate at this time, and
is deserving of wider circulation than the
utterances in the courtroom gave it.
General Henderson's words were as fol-
lows:
''May it please your honor: These evil
dences of debt constituted a contract
in the State where they were made.
The local law recognized them as
binding between the parties. The
instruments came here with the indorse-
ment of local judicial sanction. We
have before us the standard by which the
parties themselves measured the obliga-
tions of their contract This Court will
not now change that standard. 1t is the
especial glory of this tribunal that local
influences can not here turn aside the
currents of justice. In this world moth
ing is immortal but truth. The monu
ments we build of brass and stone finally
molder and decay. The eternal princi-
pies of justice take new strength and lus-
ter from the lapse of time. The stone tab
lets on which the decalogue was inscribed,
no longer exist, but the Ten Command
ments still remain in perfect moral gran
deur, teaching man his social duties. The
Roman forum is well-nigh gone, but
Roman law survives in all its beauty and
in all its beneflcience, and so will
live, hope and believe, the decisions Of
this court. For nearly quarter of cent
ury, in a modest way, | have argued
causes before you, and in that short period
| have witnessed many changes in the
personnel of this court; but no change
have yet seen in the wisdom and learn
ing of its decisions, or in that unerring
certainty with which they point to the ad-
ministration and establishment of justice,
1t is because of this that they have re-
ceived the stamp of judicial authority in
all the nations OF Christendom, and it is
because OF this that they will live when
this magnificent structure, in which they
have been delivered, shall have sunk into
undistinguishable dust.p

A somnolent phenomenon.

BUFFALO, N. ", April 14.--For some
time the village of Attica, Wyoming
County, has been greatly excited over the
case of young woman named Emma
Tombs who goes into frances the length Of
which she tells beforehand. She has now
been in a trance lasting over thirty days.
Emma sank into her present sleep one
month ago Sunday, March lD. She had
lain wide awake eight consecutive days
and nights, partaking during that time Of
more nourishment than in all the six
months of her previous trance, the amount
being about glassful of milk adj
ministered in teaspoonfuls. During her
presenttrance the physician who calls daily
has managed to force between her lips
a few teaspoonfuls Of the liquid, but this
is a difficult feat as she rarely parts her
lips. When closed, her teeth are firm as
vice, any effort to pry them open prov
ing useless. She lies almost perfectly
still, her arms and legs being perfectly
white and cold, and pulse very faeble, be-
ing rated, in the absence of a chronom-
eter, at sixty five beats per minute. The
face is the only warm part of her body,
being flushed, with alternating fever.
When, some time ago, she predicted
to the reporter she would sleep thirty
days and perhaps longer, she did so with
out the least hesitation.

Ing il was at one time customary for
traders TO have two sticks. and to mark
with a notch on each the number of

the means by which accounts were kept.

the customer instead of a book. The
tallyman calls with his goods, his finery

his tempting wares to the eyes of the
