The Supreme Court-The Growth of
yitIculluFe.

SAN Francisco. July 3.-The Supreme
Court has adjourned until September Sd
and most of the justices have already
started on country trips, where they pro-
pose to spend their two month 8 vacation.
During June the Court disposed Of 101
cases, said to be the greatest number dis
posed of by any Supreme Court in the
United States in one month.
II. l. Coffin, who was convicted in
Stanislaus County, in 1885, of assault
with a deadly weapon, and sentenced to
two years imprisonment at San Quen-
tin prison and to pay fine of 81 900,
has been released on order of the Su-
preme Court. The Court held that the
statutes did not authorize the sentence of
criminal for imprisonment and a fine
also.
Arpod Haraszthy, President of the
State Board of Viticulture, filed lengthy
article for the year ending April, 1883.
He estimates that there are one hundred
and fifty thousand acres in California
planted in vines, valued at $45, 900, 900,
with improvements valued at 0,Q00,-
making a total Of $65, 100000 in
vested in the industry. This
is an increase OF 0,000, 900
since the Board of Viticulture was es-
tablished eight years ago. The consump-
ton of California wines and brandies
during the past year amounts to five and
one half million dollars. Mr.. Haraszthy
predicts that at the end of the next three
years the product of the wine
in this State will amount to
over sixteen millions of dollars.
Mr.. Haraszthy makes lengthy reference
to the tariff question and says a high
tariff on foreign wines has been the
means of introducing our wine among
our own citizens, extending the area of
our vineyards, giving employment to
more than 10000 people, and giving the
whole United States wine cheaper than
It could be had from foreign countries
without such protective tariff.

somewhat fatigued by the ships motion,
there having been considerable ground

than on any previous occasion. At this
hour e p. NJ he is resting rather quietly,
with but little cough. His respiration is
about 30 and irregular. His pulse is 96

RemarI,nbIe 90 of Fastinr.

II the extraordinary story that reaches Us
from Spain is true, the entire race Of fasteTs,
including your American, mr. Tanner, and
the Italians, Succi and Marlatti, will be COM
PEELED to hide their diminished heads. The
statement is made apparently on good au-
thority, that there has just been admitted to
the Pontevedra hospital female hysterical
patient. Domingo Reeamonde by name, who
has neither tasted food nor swallowed water
for over ten years She is 80 years Of age,
tall and, as viii readily be imagined, thin
She has black hair, small, sunken, ring en-
circled eyes and a pale, unhealthy complex
ion. In 1877 she bad an attack Of typhoid
fever, and was so seriously i'll that her life
was despaired OF. She recovered, however,
but ever since, whenever she has attempted
to eat her stora,ach rejected the food. Find
Ing this to be the case, she gradually con-
tracted the habit of not making the effort.
She, however, suffers constantly from pain
in the stomach, is extremely feeble and has
frequent attacks, during which she loses both
consciousness and sensation.
Whatever may be thought Of the above
statement there is little doubt that the sub
Joined experience of the alcalde Of COrdeido.
the little commune in which Domingo lived,
is authentic Don Francisco Cacharciro, the
alcalde in question, although a kindly man,
is somewhat suspicious, and determined to
test Dominga's fasting powers for himself.
He therefore, with the consent Of her rela-
tives shut her up in a room in his house, so
situated that it was easy to keep watch over
it at all hours Of the day and night. For
eleven days Domingo remained a prisoner,
and during that period held no commnnioa-
tion with the outside world. When the door
was opened on the eleventh day, Domingo
was found quietly seated on a chair in much
the same condition as when the experiment
began. 1t was then that Don Francisco re-
solved to send her to Pontevedra, where she
could receive a thorough medical examina'
ton Arrived there she was taken before
the provincial commission, and a physician
was called in and a medical examination had
the result Of which was that hysterical symTr
toms were found, and it was recommended
that the patient be admitted to the city hos
pital, and that her mother be allowed to
accompany her, that she might receive the
care and attention to which she has been &c
customed. At latest accounts the Pontevedra
physicians were attentively studying this
curious case.-Cor. New York Press.

acharlea Egbert craddoel.." !"

Having never seen Miss Murfree, the
writer is unable to say anything about
her personal appearance, charm Of man
nor and all the other things which make
up the budget Of personalities in which
the public delights when an author is the
subject treated. Somebody described her
as 1.-The very pink Of culture in person and
manners. The same chronicler disposed
of the question Of looks in these words:
''While not positively beautiful, she has
a face that any man would like to look at
more than once" Then he goes on to say
that her features are not regular, her ears
and nose rather diversified; but taken alto
gether her face would attract attention.
When lady is written about in this apol-
ogetic manner one may be tOlerably GER
tain that her beauty is not of a striking
order. Miss Murfree does not need beauty.
Again the standard of beauty is chang
ing with the intellectual advance
ment Of the race. There are those
who can see beauty in the noble but
unhandsome countenance Of George Eliot.
Miss Murfree's eyes are described as large,
laughing and given to rejecting every
emotion as accurately as speech. Surely
a woman with beautiful and expressive
eyes can never be written down as plain,
since true beauty, which resides In the
soul, is pictured in the expression, and
without expression there can be no
beauty.-New York Letter.

adrift.
The ravages Of the toredo worm and the
water soaked condition of the logs render
them of no market value The weight OF
barnacles, which has been forming on them
for months has caused the monster logs to
partially disappear beneath the water, and
they are more Of a danger than before. The
extent Of water covered by these logs may
be gathered from the report Of Capt. HofP-
stadt, Of the German bark Bremen, who
states that he was five days among the logs
many of them striking the ship, tearing the
copper and damaging the rudder. Samuel
Dabney, United States consul at Fayal

chased suitable grounds a short distance
out. and erected thereon handsome house
for his own use. In the embellishments Of his

fresh from Erin, was directed to polish the
