STICKS TO OLD CUSTOMS.
The Supreme Court of the Unt6ed States Is Welded to Its
 Traditions.

The supreme court of the United States does business on an antiquated plan. While it undoubtedly is the most hignifed body of men in this country, if not in the world, it has it's peculiari- ties, and they are striking ones, says the Indianapolis Sentinel One of the traditions of the court prevents news paper correspondents from attending the sessions of the court in their pro- fessional capacity. Provision is made for representative of each of the great press associations, but the corre- Rpondents have to push and crowd in behind the rear railing with the hum dreds of other spectators. Usually they have to stand up, and if they are seen taking notes an attendant escorts them to the door. The result is that the 200 or more correspondents have to depend on their memory for their re- ports of proceedings in the supreme courtroom.
 There is another custom of the court which prevents correspondents from seeing the opinions handed down until they have secured authority from the judges who severally deliver them from the bench. This authority is not always given, the judge exercising his own discretion about it. Not infre- quently the correspondent has to go to the home of the. judge to get the written authority, and perhaps by the time he gets back to the capitol the of fee of the clerk of the court is closed.

MINT IN THEIR COFFEE.
Mistake oS a Society Leader Taken for the Real Thing by Am-
 hihiOus EmuaatOrs.

That the advice, Watch how othe1s do and then do likewise" Is not always good to social aspirants, was illus trated the other evening at dinner given by a young matron in honor of 8 guest of acknowledged social stand ing, relates the Chicago Tribune.
 When coffee was served, and with it the indispensable chocolate hints, the guest was seen to take one of the sweets and toy with 1t gracefully over her coffee cup. Instantly every wom- an at the table did likewise. Evidently some new wrinkle of fashion was about to be exhibited. Every eye was on the guest and on the mint drop. Determin- ation to follow the leader and give no sign that they were not in the habit of doing this new trick every day was written on every face. The sudden calm caused the guest to look up, and as she did so she inadvertently dropped her mint into the tiny cup. To her sur prise series of clinks ran around the table as each of the rural ones followed her mistake. Approaching the situation, the guest hastily gulped down her coffee to hide her mirth.
 Later in the evening she heard one woman remark to another:
 x don't careif it is swell, I don't like mint in my coffee"
 "oh, dear, replied the other, 1ofti1y, sit is really delicious. never think of taking my deInitasse without it."

MOoNsHINERs OF FRANCE.
Hundreds of Thousands of FanadIie ca Distill liquors for Household
 Consumption.

The recent agitation of the bouil- Ieurs de cru, or private distillers, of France, agatZst the proposals of M. Rouvier, the minister of finance, to tax their franchise has disclosed the immense power of this vested interest among the peasantry. It is estimated that no fewer than 1,o0o,00 to 1,soo, ,0oo families avail themselves of the privi- lege to distiH from the pears, apples, damsons and cherries of their orchards spirituous liquors for household con- sumption, says ahLondon paper. But as every hectoliter of nonexempt liquor worth, perhaps, some $1o--is taxed to the tune of $44, there is every induce ment to the enterprising peasant to distil1 more than his household can consume, in order to do an illicit busi- ness with his neighbor, and in this way some $3o,ooo,o0e to $4O,oo0, ,0oo per an mum escapes the treasury. In the or chard land of Normandy the privately distilled liquor is, indeed, quite a rec ognized medium of exchange, and the bouilleur de cru often pays his work men, his tailor, his butcher, and his land in terms of alcohol.

port and S. W. Gray of Brownville. It was over in five minutes, and 1000 men went down on the charging line.
 So sudden was the attack that Hays brigade, which had gone to the left to meet Gibbons advance, did not get back in time. General Newton de- clared that 100 more Confederates we'll placed on the hill would have sent his column back down the slope. As 1t was, the defenders were cut into three parties and Sedgwick pushed straight on up the road leading toward Chan cellorsville. His march was slow, how ever, for he had to wait for Brooks and Howe to get up their fresh divi- sions. Meantime Hays and Wilcox, no longer held back by Gibbon, marched around the head of Sedgwick's column and beat him in the race for Salem heights, the first position on the road available for checking the Federal ad- vance.
 Between the first gun of the fight with Gibbon and the fall of Marye's hill Lee had time to turn McLaws' di- vision back from Charlottesville, where Hooker remained inactive, and 1t was in line to dispute Sedgwick's g advance. About sundown Brooks di- vision reached the front, but was checked after a sharp fight with Nc Laws. Next morning Sedgwick found that the Confederates had hemmed him in on three sides of square and were again in possession of Marye's hill, in his rear. .r@,-
 Finding Hooker indisposed to fight at Charlottesville, Lee sent Ander- sons division to Salem heights to help McLaws, retaining only Stonewall Jackson's corps on the battlefield. For tunately Banks ford had been strip ped of it's Confederate defenders by the events of the fight on the 3d, and Sedgwick had a route of escape in case of need. About sundown on the 4th McLaws rushed the charge all along the line. Sedgwick had six miles to defend with the remnant of 10000 men against 25,OoO of the enemy.
 After dark the lines were skillfully drawn back step by step under cover of artillery on the heights near the river So Sedgwick's corps had fought and won and lost within earshot of 100000 friendly troops standing idle. GEORGE l.. KILMER.
