AMERICAS GREATEST JURIsT.
John Marshall Great Lawyer with a
 Short Political Career.


 Richmond Va) Cor. in Indianapolis Star Judge Marshall was not only a great lawyer but he was a fighter and militant to the last degrees. Some insight Into his character may be gained from his
 letters, one of which, dated Msrch 27, 1794, Is in the possession of his granddaugh- ters It wa addressed to Archibald Stuart. a lawyer of Staunton, Va, and
 friend of Marshall. The second war with England, which did not actively be- gin until 1872 was already brewing and 1t
 was no small tribute to Marshalls pre-
 science that he was able to detect So far In advance.
 Seriously" he wrote there appears
 to me every day to be more folly, envy, malice and damned rascality in the world than there was the day before, and I do verly begin to think that plain. down right honesty and unlntriguing integrity will be kicked out of doors. We fear and not without reason a war. The man does not live who wishes for peace more than I do, but the outrages committed
 upon us are beyond human bearing
 The chief justice. like General Wash
 ington, was an aristocrat by birth and
 breeding, and he kept a retinue of colored servants who were housed in a long, rec
 tanguar brick building. which is still
 standing at the rear of the Marshall
 home Jim Actor was a character. but
 his position with the Marshall 1imily
 was ecllpsed by that of Robin Spudlock
 the chief justices body servant. who wore livery and long. fine stockings of brt- liant colors, and travelled around with his master. Ills appearance was unique that once in Philadelphia when he was
 walking alone with an air of considerable importance. a mob gathered and threat ened him with violence, as a black and lNerled valet was quite unusual in ts'.s parts. No more faithful body servant ever lived, however. and the chief justice n- cluded in his will a bequest for his trU-;ty valet who was to have room in >le ser wants building on Marshall street all his life, and woman to wait on him when he should become old and feeble.
 Once John Marshall was induced to undertake a political career, and it proved the most bitter experience of his life. In 179S, the year before General Washington died. he summoned Mar shall to Mount Vernon. Washington knew Marshall not only as a man of wonderful ability. but also a federalist in politics. Washington was anxious to strengthen tn federalist party in Congress, and his purpose in inviting Marshall to Mount Vernon was to ask him to run for the House of Representa- lives as the federalist candidate from the Richmond district. Marshall was oposed to the idea and they argued the proposition until late at night without either bending his strong will to the other. At last Washington with considerable heat. abruptly bade, Mar shall good night. At sunrise the next morning Marshall arose, intending to make his way to the Mount Vernon stables and ride off, trusting to time to heal the breach. Out in the gardens he met General Washington. who had divined his purpose. The general begged his pardon for treating him so ab-

Washington Cor Chicago Inter Ocean,
 The civil service commission has received something unique in the way of a communication from Buckley Levin, an applicant for the position Of janitor of a postoffice building in an Ohio town.
