NIGH JiNxs IN COURT,

WASHINGTON, Dec. %.
There was scene Of merriment in the
Supreme Court yesterday when the ap.
peal in case involving the validity of
patent for patch intended to reinforce
drawers in the crotch came up for argu.
ment. The case was appealed from the
United States District Court at Rich.
mond, Va, where Judge Hughes, in az
opinion remarkable for its levity. had
said:
ut strikes me that . patent for
patch upon drawers, designed to remedy
the evils Of rip and tear to which they
are liable in the crotch. ought never to
have been granted. interfering as it must
necessarily do with the perogative of the
housewives Of the civilized world to
patch the drawers OF their husbands.

them that can have any real novelty"
John 8. Wise, counsel for the appel.
liant, dilsted upon this opinion at length.
warning the Justices OF the Importance
| of the case to the feminine portion OF the
community, and Of the wrath that was
impending over them. Concluding, he
said the case resembled the game Of

There is this difference, however"
said the speaker. Sin faro the dealer
gets all the splits, and in this the splits
are all against the dealer At this sally
the Court lost oil likeness to its usually
serious and dignifed air. Chief Justice
Fuller could not rsstrin himself, and
nearly fell out of his chair. Justice Har'
lan's huge form and big, rosy, round
face became convulsed with laughter
until it became almost apoplectic. Jus

serve the dignity Of the Court. but he
too, was compelled to succumb and ioir

BISHOP KEENER ON ED

Bishop Keener was an editor for
some years and did his work with as
much general satisfaction as any fd-
ito" of whom we know, and certainly
with great ability. After this expe-
rience and more than thirty years of
observation he writes. the following
paragraph in a letter TO the New Or
leans Advocate. 1t will, perhaps,
quiet some who think that to be an
editor is delight:
"Now, what l wish to remaIk k is,
almost everybody iinagines that he
can teach school, run a country
store or publish a paper. 1 thought
so once, but after more than thirty
years Of observation in this line, and
some experience, it now distresses

new paper. If to 1--we ty the skin of

by the Society was the preparation
for the registration of physicians,
which was incumbent upon the So

a form of certificate is to be furn-
ished by the Society to clerks of
courts, and books Of register, and the
registration of every physician in the

senate chamber according to the programme,
when Vice President Adams said
'Sir, the senate and house of representa-
tives of the United States are ready to attend

chancellor of the state of New York"

over it was the American eagle and other in
sigma. Over it also were the arms of the
United States with thirteen sculptured ;.r

ing to give the imposing structure a truly
national appearance. The chamber for the
representatives was sixty-one feet long and
fifty-eight broad, with an arched ceiling
forty-six feet high in the center The sen
ate chamber was smaller and much more
highly decorated. IN the center of its arched
ceiling of light blue was a sun and thirteen
stars. Its fire places were lined by polished
variegated American marble, and the pres-
dents chair was elevated three feet above
the floor under a crimson canopy. Near it
large door opened southwark upon the bal
cony where Washington took the oath of
office. In these halls in the closing days Of
April, 1885, were assembled the really repre-
sentative men of the United States.

A large and handsome barge, prepared ana
draped for the purpose, was in waiting,
manned by thirteen masters ofsvessels in

dore James Nicholson. Washington was
seated in this, and as it moved slowly from
the Jersey shore other barges, fancifully dec
grated, fell into line behind it. The process
sion moved through the narrow strait between
New Jersey and Staten Island, and many
boats and vessels fell into its wake. AS it
passed Bedloes Island a sloop came alongside
bearing volunteer choir of twenty-five ladies
and gentlemen, who sang an ode composed
for the occasion to the music of God Save

in holiday attire, the Spanish ship-of-war
