The information we gave day or two ago as
to how getting married reduced to a system
in Berlin seems to speak well for matrimony as
a solid and acknowledged good of itself. Scep-
tics have declared that nothing but the sugared
bait Of courtship could tempt man into the con
nubial trap; that but for the mysterious impulse
toward love-making implanted in the human
breast, marriages would be rare indeed. The
Berliners think otherwise, and hence these bu-
reaux where every Jack may find Jill possess
ing such qualifications as prudence Graves. But
that dispensing with courtslip we cannot ap-
prove Of. Such matrimony would be too much
like the feeding of certain lady afflicted with

How 10 CLEAN Soar SUps- 1t is
well known that little alum dissolved is
very effective in cleaning muddy water;
but short time since alum was applied in
manner which, from its novelty and its
valuable results, is worthy Of notice. In
place where water is scarce at present, a
little alum was dissolved in hot water, and
thrown into a tub of thick soap subs. In
a moment the soap curdled, aud accompa-
MED by the muddy PARTICLES, sank to the
bottom, leaving the water perfectly clear,
pure and devoid Of smell This water was
found very useful for washing clothing

similar result was attained in quick
manner, by filing boiler with soap suds,
placing it on the Ere and throwing bit
Of alum into IL When the suds boiled
the scum went over and left the water
clear, soft aud as useful for washing clothes

In the United States District Court in the mat

rendered an opinion. 1t appears that at meet
ing O, creditors there was a resolution passed
varying composition previously agreed upon and
accepted. This resolution was confirmed in q
regular manner, and when IL was brought to the
attention OF Judge Blatchford, together with q
statement OF the assets and debts OF the bank
rupts the latter asked that It be recorded and the
statement placed on flle In giving his opinion on
this point the Judge says:--


The statute provides that the conditions may,
by resolutions passed In the manner and under
the circumstances provided III relation to one
original resolution for composition. add to or vary
the provisions OF any composition previously
accepted by them without prejudice to any per-
sons taking interest under such provisions who
do not assent TO such addition or variation. IL
further provides that ans such additional reSoiu-
ton passed in the manner and under the circum-
stances aforesaid shall be presented to the Court
in the same manner and proceeded with in the
same way and with the same consequences az the
resolution by which the composition was accepted
in the first instance. This requires that after the
resolution varying the PROVISIONS Of the compost
ton previously accepted shall have been passed
and confirmed and presented to the Court, 1t snail
be proceeded with In the same way as the original
resolution was proceeded with. In regard to the
original resolution. the statute expressly requir
that the Court shall, "upon notice to all
the creditors OF the debtor Of not
inquire whether such resolution has been passed
in the manner directed by tins sectlon." 1t fol-
lows that this second resolution cannot now be
recorded, but that meeting on notice to Ill the
creditors must be called in like manner as sec
ond meeting was called IN respect to the original
resolution. to inquire whether the second resOlu-
tion has been passed IN the manner directed by
the statute As 1t appears that creditors who at
tended at the meeting when the second resolu-
tion was passed objected TO the passing OF such
resolution Tor reasons then and there stated by
them, such creditors must have notice Of the time
and place OF presenting 10 the Court the proceed
ings OF the meeting now to be called. so tnat they
may be heard, and they Will then be at liberty TO

interesting argument In which he contended that
tne courts have invariably protected the judges OF
the courts OF record from any actions that might
pe brought against them by private sutors for
any errors they might have committed ~ the
Judgments pronounced by them and that this I'M
muntty was complete and sacred that such
suit could not be maintained even when malice

nify was due 10 the proper administration OF
justice and that the wrong sustained by tue suitor
would be infinitely less than the injury tnat would
result In the administration Of tustlce II the ccn-
trary view should prevail. Illustrating this part
OF his argument General Tracy cited the famous
case brought against the Recorder ol LONDON. Tne
phllanthropist William Penn was arrested and
brought before the Recorder for street preaching.
The jury. contrary 10 the charge OF the
Recorder acquitted the accused. and thereupon
the Recorder dned the jury and imprisoned the
plaintin who refused to pay the fine; he was dis
charged on habeas corpus and then sued the Re-
corder Tor the lase Imprisonment. Tne Court sail
that the maintenance OF such an action would be
more subvrrslye to Justice than the Illegal act OF
the Recorder General Tracy also c0ntended that
the original sentence was valid and still IN iorce II
the subsequent act was illegal, that the original
sentence covered fine Tor one count In the IN

Mr. Arnoux Of counsel :' Tor Mr. Lauge opened his
argument by alluding 70 the position Of counsel

mencement until the hearing before the Supreme
Court. Mr. Arnoux then proceeded led, TO show mat



clsions was that In courts OF limited Jurisdiction
the Judge was not protected when ne exceeded
his jurisdiction, which was conceded by the de-
fendants counsel, and that every court had used
language broad enough 10 cover the case Of the
acts OF judges In courts OF record who Knowingly
act without jurisdiction. TO the glory OF the
judiciary 1t appears that no Judge ol a court OF
record In America and but one IN England had
ever oeen successfully sued. The whole question
In the case turns upon tne legal effect OF the Sec
ond sentence. The supreme Court declared that
when the first judgment was pronounced and had
been executed the power OF the court that SEN
fenced Mr.. Lange was ended, and, therefore, Mr.
ArnouX conrended, that the second sentence was
frat sentence, although Illegal was valid until re-
vcrsed or vacated, and that made the OF the
Recorder parallel case. but the second sentence
was wholly coram non JUDGE. and afforded no pro-
lection whatever TO the Court or officers in any
respect.
