over the Federal Supreme Court to the
Southern Confederacy, and the conse-

1t is quite as fortunate for the Re-
publicans of the Senate as for any one
else that Mr.. Lamar has been con-
firmed. His defeat would, in all prob
ability, have given him the nomination
for Vice President on the ticket this
year with Mr.. Cleveland. His election
would have been assured, and, of
course, the duty of the Vice-President
is to preside over the Senate. 1t would
not have been an over-agreeable turn
ing of the tables on those Senators
who voted against him to find them
selves obliged to sit under his rulings.
Meanwhile Mr.. Justice Lamar is one
of the able jurists of the country, ripe
and learned in the law. and has at least
decade of usefulness left to him and
the Nation as an upright Judge.-Bos'

TORTURE BY FAMINE.
An Unfortunate Creature Who Was Starved
to Death in a Cage.

An Unfortunate Creature Who Was Starved
to Death in a Cage.
Yesterday we visited the Che-hsen's
yamen in the city for the purpose OF
inquiring into the truth of the state
ment that a criminal was exposed in a
cage and was being therein starved
and tortured to death. Such all event
is of rare occurrence in Shanghai
City of recent years, and it's revival by
the new district magistrate is some
what surprising. The unfortunate
creature stood upright in bamboo
cage. about five feet high, with his
neck through a cangue, by which he
would have been almost suspended
or at least. the tips of his toes would
barely have touched the bottom of the
cage-had it not been that some person
had placed a large stone under the
mans feet
By this his sufferings were greatly
relieved and his chances of death by
strangulation reduced. He did not
look particularly distressed at his
position amid the raillery and the
jeers of the spectators, who displayed
an almost fiendish delight in hooking
his state, to which he seemed not loath
TO reply with interest, and perfect
fire of abuse was kept up between the
cruel people and the wretched prisoner.
We learned that in the morning q
friend of his gave him some rice and
water and also prepared pipe of
opium with which to soothe his suffer-
ings. If this humane friend. however.
were detected in his merciful ministra-
tons by the authorities there is no
doubt that he would be punished
severely, perhaps even clapped into a
similar cage.
1t would seem that the yamen peo-
pie make no provision for providing
the prisoner while in. the cage with
any kind of food. and that they also
1irect dire threats against any one
who might give him any. The man is
described as a desperate thief and has
been in prison ten years. His last
offense was stripping prisoners of their
clothes and stealing every thing else
OF the little that these wretched beings
possessed. His legs are weighed
down with heavy chains. and, alto
gether. his tortures IN the horrible
contrivance give strong contradic-
ton to the belief that the Chinese are
becoming more humane in their judi
cial system. In no other country in
tho world boasting of any sort of civil
ization would such a thing be toler-
ated, and the worst feature of it is
that the people generally applaud the
cruelty of the Che-hsien and have no
sympathy with the unfortunate man.
Our impression was that they were
very much disappointed that the stone
was given him. although they made
no attempt to remove it while we were
there, and they also denounced the
humanity of the man who fed him. -

NARROW PARTlSANS.
= Few More Words About the Opponents
to MIR. Lamars Conformation.

MIR. Justice Lamar was confirmed
by the Senate as an associate on the
Supreme Bench. but his escape from
defeat was a narrow one. 1t was as
narrow as the opposition made to his
appointment.
No one as yet has given logical or
satisfactory reason for that opposition,
and it is probable that in the future
Republican leaders of the Senate will
be heartily ashamed of their recent ac-
ton as they were after the attempt to
impeach Andrew johnson of "high
crimes and misdemeanors. At that
time few of the wiser and justcr men
of the party, led by William Pitt Fes-
sender, the great Senator from Maine.
resolutely withstood the partisan pas
siOns of the day. and saved the Re-
publicans from the disgrace of an &C.
ton as impolitic as it was unjust
In like manner two Republican Sem
ators from the Pacific coast, with
broader views than their associates,
refused to obey the party whip. and
voted for Mr.. Lamar's confirmation on
similar grounds. probably. that Fes-
sender, Trumbull and others voted
against the impeachment of President
Johnson. 1t was the larger states
manship, the broader patriotism. and
on the whole the sounder politics so
to do.
One of the humorous, We might al
most say ridiculous, incidents of the
Johnson impeachment trial, showing
how strong party feeling may blind
the judgment, was the sending of Il
man to reason with Senator Fessen-
den on the error of his course. The
man compared with Fessenden was as a
pigmy to giant. He was the Congress
man from the district which Senator
Fessenden had formerly represented.
After considerable talk on the subject,
in which it was questioned what their
constituents would think of the matter,
MIR. Fessenden bowed his visitor out,
saving: What will do for you will
not do for me. and 1 ask no one to
hold himself responsible for me to my
con stituepts." 1t is hardly necessary
to saw that Mr.. Fessenden's action
was sustained and that his command
ing abilities subsequently received an
in increased respect on every side.

Gaily he said: 'One, two, three, four"-until
He reached eleven. when his heart stood still
He thought that he had told the lot.
To count himself he quite forgot.

Tried. but to find eleven like the rest.

The COWS of Georgia farmer
got into the pea field of his neighbor
and destroyed about ten bushels OF
peas. Thereupon the latter farmer
presented an account claiming 30 for
ten bushels of peas at sixty cents per
bushel. The owner of the COWS ex-
amined the account and then said:
Look here, my cows ate up ten
bushels of your peas, but you know
the rule in gathering peas is to give
one-half for the gathering. So you
see my cows were entitled to i've
bushels of those peas for picking
them. Therefore I only owe you for
five bushels at sixty cents and that
makes g. Here's your money" And
at $S they settled.
