The United States grand jury was brought
into court yesterday on the application Of
Alois Gabisch, against whom an indictment
was found for passing counterfeit money.
Gabisch objected to the indictment on the
ground that twelve members of the grand
jury had not concurred. Gabisch's counsel
wanted to ask each member of the grand
jury separately whether be concurred in
finding the indictment. District Attorney
Weed objected and Judge Knowles sus-
tanned the objection. An exception was
taken. The judge, in sustaining the dis
trict attorney. said it was against the law to
allow any grand Juror to divulgo how he
had voted. II was possible, however, to
ask any one of them whether twelve had
concurred. This Gabisch's counsel would

An Obliging Spaniel.

Dogs are useful to mankind in many
ways, but it is doubtful if more than
one has ever been used as a hassock at
dinner time.
The dog in question is a very fat
cocker spaniel. Nearly every evening
in the week it follows two quietly
dressed women to table d'hotc restau-
rant not far from Union Square. Into
the dining room the canine struggles.
painting furiously, and as soon as ia
BILE has been selected, under it he
crawls and lies down. Generally he
rests his head on his forepaws and
blinks his eyes until the last cup OF
coffee Is drained.
As soon as his mistrcsses are seated
they place their feet on the spaniel's
back, and thus they sit and eat and
chat. The dog docsn' seem to mind
it at all In fact, he acts very much as
if he liked serving as a hassock. He
eyes everybody who enters the restaur.
ant, and when he sees a person who
doesn't please his cultivated sense he
utters low growl and sticks his head
further down between his paws. A
little dig in the ribs from one of the
small boots generally silences him.
When dinner is over this useful
spaniel waddles out from under the
table, treats himself to shake, gives
falsetto bark and goes his apopletic
way.

TIE Laureate's Sal

There has been consider.,DIc ,cu,.
sion in some Of our Journals :.ntly.
US to who will be Lori Tenny sons sue.
cessor as poet laurea =. As the laureate
is at present in good health and spirits
the discussion seems not only premature
but somewhat discourtcous. 1t is to be
hoped it will be long while bc'c.e it
will be necessary to appoint any sue.
cessor. for there appears to be no one
fit to step into the shoes of Tennyson.
OF course, everyone has his favorite
poet and everyone thinks MS favorite
the only one fit to wear the laurel
crown. There is, after all, but little
honor connected with the poet. 1t is an
ancient office. Considerable over 600
years ago. in the reign of Henry Ill,

shillings annually, and l do no. SUD.
pose this officer occupied higher post
than the kings fool did in those days.
James the First paid his laureate 100
marks a year, and Charles I.
increased the salary 20 10c pounds
with one tierce of Canary Spanish wine
ito be taken out of the Kings store Of
wines yearly" The remuneration of
the laureate has rem aimed the same ever
since, but am not clear whether Lord
Tennyson still draws fierce of vino
annually from the cellars at Windsor
Castle. should think in all proba.
bility he received the money value for
it. The laureate is scarcely expected to
sing to order in the present day. If
he were his salary is
terribly insufficient. 1t must bs
borne in mind that e1OO a wear
in the Gays of Charles ]. was a very
different thing to elO0 in 1890. Why,
an industrious versi ficr could easily
make that sum by contributing to the
journals and magazines of the day.
However, it is an age for the abolish
ment of ancient offices, old custom, and
venerable institutions, and l should not
be at all surprised if, when Lord Ten
nyson has done with the post, it should
be abolished.

A jewellers Superstition.

Nearly every jeweller, says one of tho
craft in the Atlanta Journal lays down
rule never to credit anybody for q
clock or watch or anything that keeps
time. I don't know why this is and
never heard any good reason assigned
for it but nevertheless it is fact.
And. moreover, We firmly believe that
watch or clock that is brought to Us
for repairs or regulating will never keep
good timo if the owner does not pay
cash for the job. You know we do .
big credit business. l suppose jewell
lers do larger credit business than any
other class of merchants, and it no
doubt seems surprising that We have .
class of trade that is barred from the
credit list on account of a superstition.

Phi. ID. His parents had intended that
he should study for the ministry, but
having had taste of what literary life
and activity really was, and shrinking
from the dull moDotony of New Eng

devote his whole time to making for
himself prominent place in the world

the position of Greek professor at his
alma mater.
His first literary venture was the
publication of volume of poems. some
of which were very beautiful. on the
politics of ancient Greece, which were
very well received by American
scholars. Soon after this time he
opened very large school for the in

The Venerable Scholar Nearly Que Hun.
dred Years Old.

Tho Venerable Scholar Nearly Que Hun
dred Years Old.
Advices from Washington are to the
effect that Hon. George Bancroft. the
historian, is suffering from the effects
of a recent attack of illness, which,
combined with the intirmities of age,
keeps him a prisoner, not only TO his
room but to his bed. The Gordon
setter which used to accompany Mr..
Bancroft on his horseback rides sat
pensively at the door waiting for the
master who will never again mount the
saddle.
Mr.. Bancroft's active life has ceased
entirely. On fine days, previous to
this late attack, he walked slowly out
in the sunshine, leaning on the arm of
his faithful serving man. 1t is per-
haps not generally known tina. Mr..
Bancroft is the only private citizen in
the United States, aside from ex-Sen-
ators, who is admitted to the floor of
the Senate, his name being inscribed
on the plate at the entrance door.
Mr.. Bancroft's house on H street is
one of the stately old residences of
Washington. His old friend, W. W.
Corcoran, lived just across on the cor
ner of the square, with half an acre of
garden, and the Gadsby mansion, his
torical as the Decatur home, where
Gen. Beal now lives, is on the other
corner. One could hardly imagine a
more desirable site for city home.
George Bancroft is one of those
literary characters of whom the United
States has the best reason to be proud,
and one, also, to whom his countrymen
are indebted for having redeemed from
mediocrity the literary standing of the
young republic. There is no English
speaking historian alive At the presen.
day who is anything like his equal in
the two most important characteristics
of a faithful historian, devoted research
and rigid impartiality.
George Bancroft was born during
the last year of the eighteenth century,
at Worcester, Massachusetts. He
graduated with high honors at Harvard
College, and soon after his graduation
he continued his education by long
European tour, ending with some years
of study at the Gottingen and Berlin

order TO the agent of the Maine Mis-.

free of expense. Evidently there was
little danger of the clergymen of those
days knowing much about the deceit
fulness of riches except from hearsay.
