THEIR ORDER Or PRECEDENCE.
How the English Ar1stocracy Takes Rank

How the English Ar1stocracy Takes Rank
from Duke to Esquire.
It sometimes happens that in writ
ing Of the English nobility young au-
thors..re not quite familiar with their
xlks;t, and LAX. mistakes concern
ing the different steps or degreesin the
pee age. Perhaps a simple explana-
Zion of { matter may be found use
full in 4 airing 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
right, from the moment OF his birth, to
the eldest son of the reigning mon
arch. The formal manner Of address
ing a duke-his STYLE" as it is techni-
cally called-is "his grace, the duke
Of" so-and-so. A duke is the only no
ble1nan whom 1t is allowable in con-
yersation to address by the name OF
bis rank, as, for instance, las was re-
marking, duke" Next to a duke comes
q 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 ''the most
noble, the marques" etc. The next
degree below marques Is an earl.
1t is distinctively English term. its
equivalent abroad being count, al
though, curiously enough, an earrs
wife is known as q countess. An earl
Is addressed as 1.-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
merly applied to person who acted as
sheriff Of a 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 peerage is that Of baron, al.
though in one sense OF the word every
peer is q baron. This arises from the
tsct that, according to the old feudal
law. every man who possessed certain
lands was called baron, and as a con
dition Of his possessing then had tc
bring into the field certain number
OF armed men at the call Of the sover
eign. Below the peerage are the baro-
nets, knights and esquires. The latter
title is now applied promiscuously; al
law, however, there are only certain
classes Of the queens subjects entitled
to this ancient and honorable appella
rion. These are sons of peers, and the
eldest sons Of the youngest sons OF
peers, and their eldest sons; the eldest
sons Of knights and their eldest sons

the queen; esquires Of knights Of the
teath; justices Of the peace, and 9th

CHANGES IN EXTRACTION LAW.

In Early Modern Times Political Refugees
Wore tho Only Ones Sought.
Il is a remarkable fact that in the
carly cases in modern history it WAS
always for political offenses that sur
render was claimed, though at present
It is almost the only ground Of refusal,
says Chambers Journal But such an
offense does not mean crime commit
ted from political motives. but ono
committed during time Of civil war
or open insurrection. The French gov
srnment in 1880 refused to extradite
Hartmann, who was suspected of plan
ming the plot against the czar at Mos
cow IN December, 1879. When the
Swiss government in November, 1890,
demanded the extradition of one Cas-
toni, who had shot a memt ,of the
ministry, the English Judge gave him
tho 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 treaty In Denmark In
which the latter agreed to deliver up
on requisition all persons who had
been concerned in the murder Of
Charles I.
The states general of Holland sur
:endered 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
ell other persons demanded by the
English government. James IL PIT

Young spaniard.s Eeosism.

The people Of the Spanish capital are
much amused at the egotistic estimate
recently placed upon his attainments
by q young grandee. Among the in
teresting ceremonies at the Spanish
court is the appearance before the
queen regent at stated times of the in
heritors Of the title Of grandee, thu
most coveted distinction in the land.
The ceremony is quaint. The new
grandee, wearing his hat in the pres
ence Of royalty as mark Of his rank.
recounts the glorious deeds of his an
cestors and his own deeds as reasons
for his assumption of the dignity. At
the last reception the duke Of Tarifa,
the youngest son of the duchess OF
Medinaeln, was among the new gran
does. But when it came his turn to
tell why he should be grandeo he re-
counted with pride the fact that he
had been graduated from the polytech.

THE ARGUMENT OF COUNSEL.

There never has been in the his
tory of our courts such an exhibi-
ton of forensic eloqaenceas was dis
played in the argument of this case.
The attorneys had by arrangement
taken special features in the case,
and each in his turn dwelt particu-
iarly upon the points assigned.
The State was managed generally
by prosecuting Attorney Price, who
in this, his first case and the crucial
test displayed Sound judgement and
legal discretion.
The argument opened for the state
by Ex-prosecatlng Attorney Rlason,
who having had acquaintance with
the facts as shown before the grand
jury, dwe.t particularly on the tes-
timony. He showed clear concept
ion Of the vital facts in the case and
welded link of malice, premedita-
ton and deliberation on the part of
the accused that neither fine soph-
istry, nor sIedge hammer law could
weaken or destroy. Mr. Riason was
forcible in MS delivery, and display
ed thorough knowledge of the law
bearing on the case.
Mr. Buerhaus followed for the de-
Tense; this was the law argument of
the trial. and his presentation of the
case claiming mitigation, was one OF
the most wonderful displays of wide
reading nf law and literature ever
delivered in our court house.
O. w. ii. Wright followed for
the state. His argument was all
along the line, and eloquent from
the beginning to the close He dealt

tepee is merely cone of poles, light,
branchless saplings, laid with their
butts in circle and their tops bound
together. Around this is thrown a
cover Of canvas or dressed skin, with
an opening at the top for the escape Of
smoke, and flap is left open at the
side for door. When he moves it Is
only necessary to roll the canvas into
o wad and tie it to the poles, which arc
strapped to a pony, with the heavy
erds dragging on the ground.

In this particular. the Col. has no
superior. HIS mind seemed to hold
in readiness for application every
waver, every falter, every contra
diction and before he closed, he had
completely demolished some of the
testimony upon which the state
largely depended. He plead the
established good character of the
prisoner, and argued that the pres
ent killing was mania, and a freak,
fit, not the act of cool deliberate
Williams, intent on murder for the
purpose of gratifying hatred, malice
or revenge.

closed the case for the state. He
made general summary of the case,
closing with an array of the testi-
mony most strongly bringing out
the deliberate purpose to convict
the murder.
JUDGE HUFFMAN's CHARGE.
The charge of the Court was
upon the law bearing on the case.
1t was SO very full and fair, that
both parties were satisfied and
neither excepted to anything.
Thls is high tribute to the le-
gal acumen of the Judge, when de-
fning law before attorneys of such
commence as sat before him.
| He defined the elements necessary
to constitute murder IN the first de
gree, malice and generalization, a
hate in the heart and settled pur.
pose to kill. The length of time from
the forming of the purpose until
the act was committed is :mmater
ial. He charged that drunkenness Ii
no excuse for crime, but held that il
drunkenness was to degree of un
consciousness. inability to form 9
purpose, 1t was circumstance fol
the Jury to consider in mitigation.
He advised the Jury in taking al
the testimony into consideration, t.
be governed by the laws of credi-
bility known to all men of goot
sen-e and to be guided upon dis
puted and doubtful matters by th'
rule of good sense, and an under
