After another trip to Europe Stephen
caught the gold fever in 1S4o and went
to San Francisco by way OF Panama,
arriving at the Golden Gate with SO
In his pocket. In three months he had
made $25,000 by a deal In real estate
options, and in 1850 he was elected TO
his first Office, that Of Alcalde, or May.
or, Of Marysville. His life was fire.
quently threatened by staggering pol
iticians and other bullies, and once he
narrowly escaped assassination at the
hands OF Judge Terry. In 1857 Mr..
Field was elected Judge OF the Su-
preme Court Of California and after
wards became Chief Justice. For his
services as War Democrat and his
intimate knowledge Of practice and
procedure in Western cases, Judge
Field was appointed to the Federal Su-
preme Bench in 1863 by President Lin
coin. On the first day of December
he served as Associate Justice thirty
four years, six months and ten days.
He has achieved the distinction OF
serving longer on the Supreme Bench
than any of his predecessors, the next
in point Of service being Chief Justice
Marshall, who died in Office in 1885,
after service Of thirty-four years, five
months and six days. AS Justice Field
says in his letter to his colleagues, an
nouncing formally his retirement, he
has written the decisions in 1042 cases,
Of which 1856 were prepared while he
was on the Bench in California and 81
are decisions in the Circuit Court.
Debarred by his position from enter
Ing actively in politics, Justice Field
was, nevertheless, an attentive spec
tator. In 1876 he was one OF the
Democratic representatives on the
Electoral Commission. In the Demo-
cratic National Convention of 1880 he
received 651a votes for the Presidential
nomination.
Justice Field is noted for his knowI-
edge OF the law, his profound scholar
ship and his absolute fearlessness. He
possesses a strong individuality and
has the courage Of his convictions. He
has written sketch OF his experiences
In California, which Is as interesting
as a romance. While his health has
suffered from his advanced age his In
teilect is still keen, and, it ia possible,
he may while away the tedium of his
retirement by writing his recollections
OF the Supreme Court, particularly
with respect to the great issues which
1t dealt with during the war and recon-
struction periods.

Beware of the Piano Swindler.

Piano swindlers are on the road.
A man representing himself as a
piano agent approaches the farmer
and asks to place a piano in the
house, agreeing to give the daughter
of the farmer lessons for the privilege
OF being allowed to take other pupils
there. AS he gets better acquainted
with the farmer he agrees that if the
farmer sells three pianos he may keep
the one in his house as his own. The
agreement is, of course, drawn up In
writing and the piano agent departs.
In few days another man appears
with a note signed by the farmer.
AS might be expected among musical
people, the piano has made false
note, and there's discord all around.

Never tell all you know; for he who
tells everything he knows often tells
more than he knows.
Never attempt all you can do; for he
who attempts everything he can do
often attempts more than he can do.
Never believe all you hear; for he
who believes all that he hears often
believes more than he hears.
Never lay out all you can afford; for
he who lays out everything he can
afford lays out more than he can af-
ford.
Never decide upon all you may see;
for he who decides upon all that he
sees often decides on more than he
