When the Justices Enter the Court

Another innovation has made its
appearance at the capitol. II is
worth while to make IA trip TO the
building just before - o'clock every
day to witness il.
The room i'm which the Supreme
Court Justices adorn themselves with
their flowing silk robes is across the
hall from the chamber in which the
court meets. Hitherto a few mo-
ments before noon the door OF the at
firing room would open and forthwith
would emerge the solemn justices.
On one side Of the corridor-which,
by the way, is the main passageway
through the capitol-would stand u
court official and another mar would
be stationed on the opposite side.
Between this guard the justices would
walk and n moment later disappear
behind the heavy door OF the entrance
Of the private corridor to the bench.
But this simple and modest method
has been relegated to the past. 1t is
different now.
When the Justices are now ready to
leave their attiring apartment four
court messengers appear. They bear
two pieces Of plush covered rope. A
man stands on each side OF the two
doors and across the corridor they
stretch their p~iush-covered barrier.
Through the avenue thus formed the
black-gOwned justices walk, the
brilliant plush covering cleaning like
IA streak Of fire against their sombre
robes. While the procession marches
across the corridor all the common
people are held back at a safe distance.
II the justices are "a little slow the
crowd must possess its soul in
patience. Not until the last black
gown has disappeared are the plush
covered ropes taken down and the or
binary course Of travel allowed TO re-

up town who made more money in

lot Of other Americans who were pros

Fraser, had been arrested and
brought before II British Justice Of
the Peace for some alleged indiscre-
ton, and considerable feeling had
been worked up over the matter, so
much, in fact, that wild rumcrs of
war and ~bloOdshcd had reached the
outer world, and the British troops
were called on. A detachment Of 100
men, with artillery and other equip
ments, was sent out from Victoria and
was nearing Langley, u. c., when

At that port. The skipper was prompt

liar and terrible manner. The animal
was II very fine one, nm inbred Ham

animal. A few days ago IL was taken
with blind stoggers and It's suirerings

He was tied in his stable, but In his
agony he broke the strong rope halter,

head against the side OF the barn COW

it made a desperate effort at the
door, and, tearing IL from it's hinges
went at n run Through the field. Its
speed was terrific, and IL stopped not
for paling, board or wire fences, but
took everything in It's mad run. 1t

and through II four-wircd barbed fence
eighteen times, tearing its legs and

Inhabited Only BY Hogs.

In the northern part Of Limestone
County, Alabama, says n writer in the
Pittsburg Dispatch, is IA tract OF land
consisting OF more than loo acres
which is not on the map OF the State.
nOr II il be found in the registers
Office OF that county. No one claims
it and no taxes have ever been paid
on it,. IT is a vast wilderness. inhab-
tied by snakes, deer and razOr-back
hogs. II is a free hunting ground
and thousands OF these hogs are killed
every year, more for the sport than
for anything else. The hogs are wild
and cannot be domesticated. Their
yield is said TO be enormous. Tom
Booth, Of Pulaski, Tenn. secured n
male and female and did all i'm his
power TO tame them, but failed. He
kept them "a year and at the end OF
that time they were as wild az at
first. The more he fed them the thin
ner they became. Within the wear
they consumed 400 bushels OF corn
and were as lean as church mice. Dur
ing that time the SOW had five ~litters
OF pigs, numbering 2l0. Mr.. Booth
could not tame any Of these nor get
them fat enough 10 make even soap
grease. Finally he gave them 10 a
colored man, who now considers him.

Booth. The flesh Of these hogs re-
sembles horsehesh. IL Is az tough az
coon skin, and a large-sized hog Of
this species rendered would not make
grease enough to fry a skillet Of bat
ter cakes. They go through a garden
like a shoyel-plOw, and no vegetable
escapes them. They can crowd
through q crack that would hardly
admit a mouse and their sharp noses
as levers for garden gates. The

Jim" keene's Neat Present.

Jim" Kccnc having once been
nursed through IA very dangerous ILL
ness by the late Sam Ward, upon his
recovery handed Mr.. Ward one day u
letter which he said contained a state
ment Of account. Mr.. Ward opened
the letter in my presence on the trip
from Long Branch TO New York City,
and, having read il, gave IL TO me 90
read. II was IA delightful statement
Of account. II showed that "a large
block Of shares in the Lake Shore
Railroad had been bought some weeks
previous for the account Of Samuel
Ward, had been sold the day be-
fore and the account closed out, and
that, deducting commissions, interest
and expenses, there remained 20 Mr..
Wards credit with the brokers some
thirty thousand dollars. Its the
I knew OF it," said Mr.. Ward.
Mr.. Keene put these shares to my
credit without my knowledge, and
his brokers have been carrying them
for me."-[New York Letter TO Phil

ashore and met Lieut.. Gussette, who
was in command Of the men. The
Lieutenant Immediately asked him
II he could take the troops up the
river. The Captain refiectively
scratched his head for a moment, and,
half doubtingly, said he supposed he
could.

81 don't know said Tom, that's
n little out of my department, and I
don't remember. | will call the
purser and find out 80
The purser was summoned, but,
like his superior officer, his memory
was bad regarding rates between
Langley and Hills Bar.
Get your rate schedule said
Tom, apparently vexed that the
purser should know SO little about his
business.
THE purser did so, and uncon
cernedly read the rate OF 800 per
man and 800 per ton. Gussette OBJ
jected, argued, and swore, but the
immovable skipper explained that it
was schedule rates, and that he
couldn't think OF charging the Gov
eminent less than was charged pri.
vate individuals. The ~Lieutenant's
efforts to secur n reduction were
futile, and Mt last the troops, 107 in
number, with fifty tons of equip
ments, were taken aboard. Fortune
favored the Enterprise on that trip,
and eighteen hours after leaving
Langley she reached her destination,
Fort Hope, with her $l5, 600 cargo.
At this point word was received that
the trouble was all over. MCGOWAN
and his friends had talked themselves
out of bondage, and white-winged
peace was hanging over the entire
country. This condition OF affairs
rendered the presence Of the troops
unnecessary, and without remov-
ing the equipments from the
boat the Lieutenant again APP
preached Captain Tom and asked
him what he would charge. to
take the outfit back to Langley. The
Captains failing memory again COM
PEELED him TO refer Gussette to the
purser, and after considerable search
that well-trained aid of the Captains
discovered that the rate down stream
was the same rs up stream. The
Englishman sought the Captain.
My God, Captain he said, you
have charged me G8, 900 for less than
IA days work with your boat, and now
you want to repeat the performance.
It's an outrage
""Tis n middling high rate said
Tom, but wood is scarce up here,
