A Mammoth Violet.

Wonder has been frequently ex-
pressed that attention has not been
paid to enlarging violetS, as it has
been to tulips, chrYsanthemums, roses,
and daisies. But all this time a
florist in California has been patiently
and perseveringly devoting his time,
attention and thought to the modest
little plant, until at last he has sue
ceeded in producing such bloom as
has hitherto been undreamed of. 1t

from twelve to fifteen inches in
length. The original plant sprang

THE SUPREME COURT.

The Majority OF Cases Brought Before 1t
Are Simply for Delay
That august body, the Supreme
Court of the United States, has been
dubbed the great mechanism of pro-
crastination and to call it by that title
seems to do it no injustice. 1t is said
that nine out of every ten cases sub.
mitted to this high tribunal are carried
up to it not for the purpose of obtain
ing the reversal of decisions rendered
by lower courts, but purely and simply
for the sake OF delay-or ordinarily 10
keep people out of money which they
have won by law, How effective this
plan is may be judged when 1t is con-
sidered that after the briefs in case
are filed four years must ordinarily
elapse before the latter can come up
for consideration. There are 1000
cases on the docket now.
No other legal tribunal that ever ex-
listed has possessed such we'll nigh alb
solute power as is welded by the SUI
preme Court of the United States. 1t
can even overthrow any law passed by
Congress and signed by the President,
if it chooses to discover constitutional
flaw in the measure, and from its de-
cision there is no appeal. Such awe
does it inspire that lawyers OF great
reputation and experience who plead
before it are often seized with fright,
turn pale and forget their words in its
presence. A distinguished legal lumin-
airy from New York confessed the other
day that, after arguing case at the
bar of the Supreme Court, he always
goes straight to his hotel and changes
his underclothing, because it is soaked
with perspiration. On the other hand,
it sometimes happens that country
attorney who says "drawed " and "ain t
got none" will exhibit the utmost sang
froid in addressing the august row Of
black gowns.
