CHANGES IN EXTRACTION LAW.
In Early Modern Times Political Refugees
We're the Only Ones Sought.

In Early Modern Times Political Refugees
We're the Only Ones Sought.
II Is q remarkable fact that in the
early cases in modern history it was
always for political offenses that sur
render waa claimed, though at present
it is almost the only ground of refusal,
says Chambers Journal. But such an
offense does not mean a crime commit
ted from. political motives. but ono
committed during time of civil war
or open insurrection. The French gov
ernment in 1880 refused to extradite
Hartmann, who was suspected of plan
ming the plot against the car at Mos
cow in December, 1879. When the
Swiss government in November, 1890,
demanded the extradition of one Cas-
toni, who had shot a member of the
ministry, the English judge gave him
the benefit of this exception in the
treaty. Charles H., as is well known,
pursued some Of the murderers of his
father with relentless hate, and in 1851
concluded a treaty in Denmark in
which the latter agreed to deliver up
on requisition all persons who had
been concerned in the murder Of
Charles l.
The states general of Holland sur
rendered some Of the regicides without
treaty stipulations; but in 1862 they
agreed to give up any persons excepted
from the English act of indemnity and
all other persons demanded by the
English government. James II. put
this treaty in force in demanding the
surrender of Burnet, not yet bishop.
but acting as private secretary to the
prince of Orange. He describes it very
fully in his History of His Own Time. :"
He stated that the kings principal
cause of anger against him was re-
port of his intended marriage to q
wealthy lady at The Hague, and pro-
ceedings were set on foot in Scotland.
Burnet, however, got wind of the mat
ter before the news of it reached d'Al-
beville, then English ambassador, and
petitioned for naturalization, which
was readily granted. When the am
bassador demanded his banishment,
Burnet claimed protection of the states
as a naturalized subject. The demand
was subsequently repeated in more
forcible terms, but the states refused

THEIR ORDER OF PRECEDENCE.
How the English Aristocracy Takes Ranl
from Duke to Esquire.

How the English Aristocracy Takes Rank
from Duke to Esquire.
1t sometimes happens that in writ
ing of the English nobility young au-
thors are not quite familiar with their
subject, and make mistakes concern
Ing the different steps or degrees in the
peerage. Perhaps a simple explana-
tion of the matter may be found use
full in clearing up loose conceptions.
The highest-tnough not the oldest
rank in Britain below royalty is that
Of duke. The first dukedom created
was the dukedom of Cornwall, be-
slowed on Edward, the Black Prince,
and it now appertains, as matter of
the eldest son of the reigning mon
arch. The formal manner of address,
ing duke-his STYLE" as it is techni-
cally called-is ''his grace, the duke
Of" so-and-so. A duke is the only no
bIoman whom It is allowable in con-
versation to address by the namo of
his rank. as, for instance, ''as was re-
marking, duke" Next to a duke comes
marquis, or marques, as the word is
now more usually spelled. The word
means lord of the marches or borders.
A marques is addressed as 1.-The most
noble, the marquess," etc. The next
degree below marques is an earl
1t is distinctively English term, its
equivalent abroad being count, al
though, curiously enough, All carrs
wife is known as a countess. An earl
is addressed as "the right honorable,
the earl Of" etc. After the earl comes
the viscount- The name bears its for
eign origin on its face, and was for
mcrly applied to person who acted as
sheriff of county in the place of the
count or earl. Like the earl he is ad-
dressed as 1.-The right honorable, the
viscount," etc. The lowest rank in the
British pecrage is that of baron, al
though in one sense of the word every
peer is a baron. This arises from the
fact that. according to the old feudal
law, every man who possessed certain
lands was called q baron, and as con- |
dition of his possessing then had to
bring into the field n certain number
of armed men at the call of the sover-
eign. Below the peeragc arc the bnro-
nets. knights and csquires. The latter
title II now applied promiscuously; at |
law. however. there are only certain |
classes of the queens subjects entitled |
to this ancient and honorable appalla-
tion. These arc sons of peers, and the |
eldest sons Of the youngest sons of
peers, and their eldest sons; the eldest |

tbath; justices Of the peace, and 9TH

HatchIng Fish Undcr Hens.

Chinese fishermen collect with care
from the margin and surface of water
all those gelatinous masses which con-
tain the spawn of fish, and after they
have found sufficient quantity they
fill with it the shell of fresh hens
egg which they have previously emp
tied, stop up the hole and put it under
setting fowl. At the expiration of a
certain number of days they break the
shell in water warmed by the sun. The
young fry are presently hatched and
are kept in pure, fresh water till they
are large enough to be thrown into the
pond.
