O idle words!
Whr will re never die,
But'float forever in the sky,
Dimming the stars that shines in memory,
Destroying hope and causing lore from earth
to flee,
111-omened birds.
Preying upon the heart,
LeaVing with wounds a deadly smart;
Expiring breath that taints the very air.
Will ye forever leave your victims to despair?
111-omened birds.
O idle won Is!
How many are the tears
That ye have caused to flow; the fears
Ye have begot and made to mountains grow.
Crashing the innocent beneath a weight of
111-omened birds.
O idle words!
Your flight is ever on,
In heaven darkening the sun;
By wearv iournevings without delay,
To wend your dreary way unto the judgment
day.
111-omened birds.

THE GLEASEB.
Beneath late summer’s bright, still heat.
The yellow, half-shorn fields are widely
spread.
And parched and dry the grasses lie
Where ran anon the brooklet’s silver thread,
While back and forth the workers come
Behind the shining blade that swiftly leaves
The lavish plenty of the field
For their brown hands to bind in golden
sheaves.
But when the sun is dropping low
Behind the far wood’s dark and ragged rim,
She comes across the stubbled-field
Left lone and bare. The deepening twilight
dim
Observes her bent and aced form.
She stoops to scan the naked dew-damp ground
For everv strav forgotten spear
Tiie careless workers may hare left unbound.

A VERY UNCLEAN CITY.
A Street Brigade so Rare as to be a
Natural Curiosity—The Street Corner
‘•Merchants” to Give Way to the Law—
The Exposition Assuming Shape—
Louisvillians to Migrate for the Winter
to the Land of Flowers.
Correspondence of
Louisville, Aug. 7.—lt is some
times a great advantage to the appear
ance of a city to be agitated by an epi
demic scare. She goes to work and cleans
up. Since we have been on the outlook
for cholera the subject of street cleaning
has actually been discussed by the muni
cipal powers. It must be confessed that
Louisville, at the present, is very, very
dirty. In the epochs of her deepest, dead
liest dirt—and she has some tall records
on that score—she never exceeded her
present condition. The most fashionable
avenues and drives leading out through
the southern suburbs are sightly enough,
but elsewhere the street brigade is so rare
a spectacle as to be almost a natural
euriosity. On almost every thoroughfare
leading to the west end there are whole
squares aiven up as a hog wallow. Dr.
Blackburn, our high priest in all things
peitaining to cholera and yellow fever
epidemics, has assured us that cholera
prevails most severely in limestone
countries, and that granite regions are
comparatively exempt, and that boiled
water and strong green tea will probably
pull us through should we find the dreaded
foe in our midst. So it would seem the
good people of Louisville are prepared to
place a serene confidence in the protection
of green tea aud boiled water, and not
give so much as one little kick for sanitary
efforts. But the city treasury is
really in quite a bad way; it is empty;
and a treasury in that condition can
hardly meet great expectations. Anew
law for the tax-payer is to be tried this
year, and an altogether smooth time is
not anticipated. The office of back tax
receiver has been abolished, the brilliant
financial mano-uvers of the last regime
having rendered the office unsavory in the
public mind. It is now determined that
each year’s taxes shall be collected in
that year, by distress warrants or gar
nishments of rents if need lie, and the
work of collecting outstanding bills be
gins this month. As many citizens have
refused to pay their dues promptly be
cause others are five or ten years in ar
rears. thev will doubtless show fight and
put the new law to the test, and a breezy
time will probably ensue for the ruling
powers.
THE DEATH-SmL HAS BEEN SOUNDED
for all vendors of wares on the street cor
ners and sidewalks by the same arbitrary
power that sealed the doom of the delight
some, friskv and airy Mother Hubbard in
this progressive city. During the sum
mer vacation of the courts these pictur
esque trafficers are enjoying their last
days of grace before folding their tents
and silently stealing away. Something
of nearlv everything under the sun is bar
tered on the Louisville streets, and it was
time the general nuisance was abated,
but the flower girls will be a feature large
ly missed. On these sultry July and Au
gust mornings a boy and girl stood by
turns on the principal corners of
Fourth avenue, each with a bas
ket laden with fresh sweet water
Jilies. full of great dew crystals and as
purely fragrant as though they still
floated on the bosom of their cool and
limDid birthplace. “Only a nickle apiece
—fresh water lilies'.” and there are few
who do not stop and invest some odd
change in the beautiful silvery white
things. Ladies pin several on their
bosoms, making a complete flowery
breastplate, and gentlemen buy them to
present in lovely clusters to young lady
friends, knowing how much more real is
the appreciation than that bestowed upon
the stiff offering from the florist, repre
senting iust so much hard cash in every
bud. It makes a pretty picture in the
morning hurrv and bustle of the thronged
street and one is loth to spare it. The
banana man also must go, and likewise
the peanut man, but we are an advancing
people, and must even go with the great
world.
THE EXPOSITION HAS SPRUNG INTO
SHAPE
and color by a kind of magic. There is a
regular army of workmen inside and out,
and every department will be nearer com
plete than ever known at an opening be
fore. There is one space on the Fourth
street side where every variety of cotton
grown anvwhere in the world will be on
display. 'Music Hall has been fitted up
with a' huge shell to act as a sounding
board, and there is a fountain in the cen
tre ol the building of mammoth propor
tions, which is to be lighted with a mil
lion tinv electric sparks, and will be the
most brilliant spectacle conceivable. At
this stage of proceedings everything is
on a much handsomer scale than last year,
and the arrangements much more tasteful
and tieautiful. The Art Gallery is cer
tainly very fine; both the pictures from
the Art Union and the private loan col
lection could hardly be surpassed. There
are several genuine old masters in the
lot which will be given a prominent place,
of course, though old masters—rank
heresv though the assertion lie—are such
a lot of dingy, dreadful old bores! It is a
blessed thing they have been gathered to
their predecessors and can never perpe
trate anv more of those unspeakable
things in browns and purgatorial yellows.
The ceremonv of the opening is left in a
delightful state of doubt. The directors
invited Blaine to be present and assist
Gov. Knott in the exercises, and Cleve
land was asked to come and preside over
the competitive drill and be treated to
weak lemonade. This created a most
enormous tempest—first cousin to a
cyclone—right here at home. Gov. Knott
would never consent to stand under the
shadow ot the Plumed Knight's crest and
permit him to monopolize attention. Did
anybody ever hear of a Kentucky Gover
nor who plaved second fiddle to any
human in shoe leather on this mundane
sphere? It was an unfortunate blurder
on the part of the directors to invite either
candidate at such a time, so the only hope
is that Blaine will have sense enough to
see that he is not wanted and stay at
home, otherwise our Governor won’t put
in an appearance. So here we are, in a
frightful muddle, and the way out very
hazy and hazardous.
The live stock exhibit will contain some
of the bluest equine blood in the land.
Fellowcraft will be here, and Longfellow,
and Ten Broeck, and Falsetto, and Him
yar, and Hindoo, and King Ban, and
Wanderer, and a hundred other familiar
great names. Of itself, that will be some
thing worth coming to see.
Several prominent Louisville people
will pitch their tents in Florida the com
ing autumn and with the view ot making
it their permanent horn**. Mr. C. F. J.
Allen, a retired Louisville merchant, has
bought the Bloxham place, and Mrs. Dr.
John Bull, of sarsaparilla memory, has
purchased property in Winter Park,
where she will erect a magnificent resi

ture.
Sarsaparilla and cough syrup have
done a great deal tor the Bulls in a world
ly sense. When the doctor suddenly de
parted this life, not many years since, he
left his widow one of the most massively
elegant homes on Broadway, and an es
tate that allowed his family to live in lux
ury. Mrs. Bull has not long returned
from an extended tour abroad. She is one
of the handsome widows of Louisville,

THE LAXI) OF SALT.
Something About Turk’s Island—Empty
Jails and no Lawyers.
Mr. J.J. Frith of the firm of Frith*
Murphy, the largest producers of salt at
Turk’s Island, is on a visit to the United
States, and was in Providence, R. 1., a few
days ago. A reporter of the Journal con
versed with Mr. Frith in regard to that
little known portion of the world. Mr.
Frith is a West Indian of the better class;
of manly, athletic form, with clear blue
eyes, and complexion somewhat tanned
by the equatorial sun. The population of
Turk’s Island is about five thousand,
eighty per cent being negroes, who alone*
constitute the laboring population. Al
though represented in encyclopedias as
being a part of the government of Jamaica,
Turk's Island is a separate and distinct
colony, with its own ruler appointed by
the crown and a legislature or council.
The only connection with Jamaica is that
the law's enacted by the legislature of
Turk’s Island are subject to the approval
of the Governor General of Jamaica. Of
the eight councilmen, four are official, or
ex-officio, and the other four are unofficial
being appointed by the commissioner, as,
the Governor of Turk’s Island is called.
The islands also have a supreme court and
lower coiy-ts. Thus the little colony has
all the machinery of a state, but the people
have no voice whatever In the government.
The cost of the government used
to be about $55,000 a year, all raised
within the islands, but now it is about
$35,000, having been retrenched in defer
ence to popular demand. There is a
strong feeling among the people in favor of
annexation to the United States. The
British Government does nothing for them
except to contribute $1,500 a year toward
carrying the mails, and to appoint the
officials who receive the salaries raised by
duties and by taxation. There is not a
lawyer on the islands, though if a few
dozen Providence lawyers should emi
grate there they would probably be able
to earn their (Turk’s Island ) salt honestly
by working at 75 cents a day, the ordinary
pay for labor in the salt pens. There is
not even a public prosecutor, the Queen’s
advocate having died some time ago, and
nobody appointed in his stead. The
supreme court is almost a sinecure, and,
there being no lawyers to make trouble,
the jails are usually empty. The islands
are healthy, although the lloyal Standard ,
the colonial paper, is full of patent medi
cine advertisements, including cathartic
pills, liver invigoratorsand worm tablets.
The islands have a tariff on imports, and
duties are collected on goods, whether
from the United States, England or
Jamaica, or any other part of the world.
Of course the most interesting feature
about Turk’s Island is the great salt
manufacturing industry. At Grand
Turk, where it is chiefly followed, the
Vater is led from the ocean by means of
a canal about 12 feet wide and 2% feet
deep, to the government reservoir, which
is from 600 to 800 feet long and 20 feet
wide. From this reservoir the water is
drawn by machinery into ponds or
“pens,’’ as they are called, and which are
from 150 to 200 feet square and about 2
feet deep, and separated from each other
by rough stone. In the cases of a few
proprietors of salt pens the water is drawn
from the government reservoir into pri
vate reservoirs, before being transmitted
1,; to the pond for evaporating. There is a
saloJ llo ** 1 ’ f° r measuring the saline
strength of the water, and when the salo
meter shows 80 to 90 degrees of strength,
the result, evaporation, is 1% to 2
inches of salt. The time taken in evapora
tion varies accoru.' n £> to the amount of
sunshine. During the rains in May, and
in October and November the salt is slow
in forming. Evaporation leaves the salt
dried hard and firm, like a field of ice, and
white as snow, but a curious feature of
the ponds during evaporation is the vary
ing color ot the pickle—green, blue, red,
pink, purple, indeed every variety of color
except yellow or black. It is a spectacle
well worth seeing. The salt is broken up
in small pieces with rakes and dumped in
the vicinity of the pond. There are some
6alt houses, but the salt as a rule is piled
in heaps varying from twenty to a thou
sand bushels. The salt is removed in
half-bushel baskets to lighters, which
carry it out to vessels in quantities ot 175
or 200 bushels and trom the lighters it is
dumped into the holds of the vessels.
Most of the salt is as it leaves the ponds,
but about 25 or 30 per cent of it is crushed
for fish purposes. Theris a royalty of 10
per cent on the value of the salt. About
1,500,000 bushels are exported yearly, the
firm above mentioned having exported
852,000 bushels last year in 102 vessels.
The number of vessels which leave Turk’s
Island with salt each year is about two
hundred. The salt is sent to the United
States and British provinces, and a load
was recently sent to Brazil, and well ap
proved, though the South American mar
ket is at present supplied from Liverpool.
The islands are not severed from the
world, for both the Clyde and Cunard
lines touch there. It is an interesting
incident in this connection that a good
number of years ago the islanders vainly
appealed, time after time, to the British
Government for relief.from an oppressive
duty, but no notice was taken ot them.
At iast a strong agitation was aroused in
favor of asking the British Government to
permit the island to apply for annexation
to the United States. The existence of
the movement was officially reported to
England, and very soon the obnoxious
duty was removed'.
A PROCRUSTEAN COFFIN.
The Way a Lode Mortal was Shortened
So that the Obsequies Could be Fin
ished.
Several farmers of Oak Creek who
brought produce to the South Side yester
day, says the Milwaukee Sentinel, brought
intelligence of a strange burial which oc
curred there last Friday. Horace Bald
win died last week. He was remarkably
tall, his army description making him G
feet 7 inches. In cases where his com
rades would have been wounded in the
breast he would stop the bullets with his
stomach. He was so conspicuously tall
that he was given a sobriquet appro
priate to his stature. He could not stand
army life very well, and soon gave it up.
Friday, when the neighbors gathered at
the farm house to do honor to his memory
by following the remains to the
grave, it was found that the coffin had
been made for a six-footer and was there
fore seven inches too short. The corpse
could not be squeezed into the casket and
so, rather than to disappoint the people
waiting outside, a relative - ran into the
woodshed for a saw and began deliber
ately to saw off about eight inches of the
dead man’s legs. He thought the corpse
moved and fainted. Thereupon a not' or
relative seized the wood-saw and com
pleted the shortening process. The
several members were bent back, the
coffin lid fastened and the funeral cortege
wended its way to the Oak Creek ceme
tery. The story has created a great sen
sation in Oak Creek and those who did
the remarkably savage thing are severely
censured.
* More Campaign Scandal.
Washington Letter to Philadelphia Times.
The public is about to be regaled with
publications concerning Mr. Blaine’s pri
vate life as an offset to publications relat
ing to alleged moral delinquencies of Mr.
Cleveland. A leading Democratic paper
in a Western city is understood to ha\e
had writers engaged lor a considerable
time in Kentucky, where Mr. Blaine was
a teacher shortly after he attained his
majority, and if what is retailed in pri
vate becomes the wool and warp of tbe
story that is being woven for the public
the campaign will not be wanting in
interest thereafter; and not so much on
account of the forthcoming story about
Mr. Blaine as what will follow it in con
tinuation of Mr. Cleveland’s alleged moral
delinquencies. Mr. Blaine’s friends have
not been ignorant of what was intended,
and editors and others in his interest
when admonished to call off their dogs—
referring to the Cleveland scandal. —have
declined to listen to any 6uch suggestion,
but have signified an intention to let
others loose. This is a manner of con
ducting a Presidential campaign so en
tirely new that it is not surprising that
people should be startled, turn their
heads, hold their noses and refuse to listen
or behold. Despite this, however, it seems
probable that they will have to give at
tention.
THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, AUGUST 10, 1884.
CHIEF JUSTICE JOHN MARSHALL
Some Interesting Incidents In Hls Life.
A merican Jfajaiine of History.
Col. Thomas Marshall was a brave and
talented man, who served in both the
French and Revolutionary wars with dis
tinction. He married Mary Isham Keith,
a lady of great force of character and
strong' religious faith, the daughter of
Rev. James Keith, of the Episcopal
Church—a grandson of William Keith,
Earl Marshal of Scotland—and their
children numbered fifteen, of whom John
was the eldest, born in 1755.
His father directed his early studies,
and he afterward received one year’s in
struction from a clergyman named Cam, >-
bell, and was one year the pupil of a Mr.
Thompson. At the age of 12 he had tran
scribed the whole of Pope’s Essay on Man
with some of his moral essays. “My
father was a far abler man than any of
his sons,” he remarked in later years,
“and to him I owe the solid foundation of
my own success.”
Before he was twenty the struggle began
between England and her colonies, and
he was chosen Lieutenant of a militia
company, of which his father wa9 Cap
tain. and .in whose absence he diligently
drilled the men. He was six feet tall,
slender, with dark complexion, black hair
and eyes. He walked ten miles, from his
father’s house to the muster-field, and the
same distance in returning home after the
drill. He wore “around black hat, mount
ed with a buck’s tail tor a cockade, a pur
ple hunting shirt and trousers of the same
material fringed with white.” He was
ever simplicity itself. Through all the
changes of his' life he remained the same,
and as Mr. Van Santvoord aptly says,
“The Chief Justice of the United States
never ceased to be John Marshall.” He
was on the expedition to Norfolk, at the
battle of the Great Bridge, to oppose Lord
Dunmore, and there made his first appear
ance upon the scene of war. In 1776 he
received an appointment as First Lieu
tenant in the Eleventh Regiment of Con
tinental troops, a great honor for so young
a man.
After the surrender at Yorktown, he
commenced the practice of law, in which
he soon attained honorable distinction.
He rapidly developed those powers of rea
soning which subsequently made him so
just a judge. He is described at this time
as “Tall, gaunt, awkward and ill-dressed;
he made a striking figure among the fine
gentlemen of the Virginia towns; but his
talents were conspicuous and he rose rap
idly in his profession by his remarkable
power of seizing the attention, extracting
at once the kernel of a question and pro
ducing conviction in the minds of his
hearers. When he first appeared in Rich
mond to argue a case, he sauntered about
the streets in a plain linen roundabout f
looking like a slouchy country bumpkin;
but once in court, he astonished the Judge
and the bar by his wonderful powers of
analysis.”
On the 3d of January, 1783, he married
Miss Mary Willis Ambler, to whom he
had become attached before leaving
the army. A Welsh parson once said:
“A bride should have nine qualifica
tions beginning with the letter p—viz.:
piety, person and parts; patience, pru
dence and providence; privilege, parent
age and portion; but that which should
be first of all in consideration, wnich is
piety, is now always thought of la9t of all,
and by many not at all, and that which
should be least of all and last of all in
consideration, which is portion, is now
become first and most of all, and by some,
all in all.” Miss Ambler possessed these
nine qualifications, and in the right order,
for she was very pious. John Marshall’s
marriage was one of the three events of
his life which he deemed worthy ot com
memoration in the simple inscription,
which, two days before his death, he wrote
to be placed upon his tombstone. His
birth, marriage and death. He lived
with his wife nearly fifty years and was a
most devoted husband. ’ “Her death,”
says Judge Story, “cast a gloom over his
thoughts, from which he never recovered.”
Mrs. Marshall’s father, Col. Jacquelin
Ambler, was a direct descendant of the
celebrated Jacquelins of France, and a
man greatly beloved and respected. He
was Treasurer of Virginia. Her mother
was Miss Rebecca Burwell, daughter of a ■
gentleman ot Gloucester county, Va., and
one of the greatest beauties of her day.
She dlsffarded Thomas Jefferson to marry
Col. Ambler. Miss Randolph gives this
account of Jefferson’s courtship of Miss
Burwell: “He is a hoy and is indisputatily
in love in this good year 1763, and he court's
and sighs, and tries to capture his pretty
little sweetheart, as pious, it is said, as
she was beautiful, but, like his friend,
George Washington, fails, the young lady
will not be captured.” He wrote to his
lriend, John Page, “I would fain ask Miss
Becca Burwell to give me another watch
paper of her own cutting, which I should
esteem much more, though it were a plain
one, than the nicest in the world cut by
other hands.” It is a somewhat notable
fact that Miss Mary Cary, who discarded
Gectfge Washington, married Edward
Ambler, brother of the gentleman pre
ferred to Thomas Jefferson. The great
men of that day were unfortunate and
seem to have been taught by sad experi
ence that “kissing goes by favor.” The
story goes that Washington, a short time
before his marriage to Mrs. Curtis, wrote
to Miss Cary, telling her it was not even
then too late for her to change her mind,
that if she would consent to marry him
he would break off his engagement with
Mrs. Curtis.
In 1795 Gen. Washington offered Mar
shall the office of Attorney General of the
United States, which he declined. Gen.
Washington consulted him frequently on
many subjects. In 1796 he asked him to
accept the place of Minister to France, on
the recall of Mr. Monroe. This he also
refused. “1 then thought,” said he, “my
determination to remain at the bar unal
terable—the situation appeared to me
more independent and not less honorable
than any other; my preierence for it was
’decided.” In 1797 he was appointed by
President Adams as Envoy Extraordinary
to France to endeavor, with the aid of
Gen. Pinckney and Mr. Gerry, to settle
our disputes with that country. He kept
a journal of all that transpired and copies
of letters, lrom which it is easy to see why
the mission was fruitless. His handwrit
ing is plain, easy to read, very indicative
of the character of the man, as is the sim
ple signature, J. Marshall, to all the pa
pers. placed between Pinckney’s and
Gerry’s. In vain “the Prince of Diploma
tists” brought his artful powers to bear
upon these men. Talleyrand failed—
balked by the honesty and the wisdom of
Marshall. To such a man the character
of Talleyrand must have been peculiarly
repugnant, as the tide of affairs progressed
and the part he was playing became more
and more plain. On the 17th of June, 1798,
Marshall returned to New York, “where
he was received with the highest marks
of respect.” His entrance into Philadel
phia, two days later, had all the eclat of a
triumph.
On the 31st of January, 1801, Mr. Mar
shall was commissioned Chief Justice of
the United States, having been appointed
by Mr. Adams some time before. There
was a perpetual clashing of opinion be
tween the Executive and the Supreme
Court during the following administra
t:on. Jefferson and Marshall were repel-
laut to each other.
Chief Justice Marshall occupied the
highest seat in the Supreme Court of the
United States thirty-live years. His de
cisions are recorded and will ever be the
noblest monument a man could have or
wish. In reference to two of them Judge
Story says: “If all the acts of his judicial
life or arguments had perished, his lumin
ous judgments on these occasions would
give an enviable immortality to his
name.” Judge Story said of the mode
of life of the Judges at these general
forms of the court: “Our intercourse is
perfectly familiar and unconstrained, and
our social hours when undisturbed with
the labors of law, are passed in gay and
frank conversation, which at once enliv
ens and instructs. We take no part in
Washington society. We dine once a
year with the President and that is all.
On other days we dine together, and dis
cuss at table the questions which are
argued before us. W e are great ascetics,
and even deny ourselves wine except in
vet weather.’ What I say about the wine
gives you our rule: but it does sometimes
happen that the Chief Justice will say to
me. when the cloth is removed, ‘Brother
Storv, step Cos the window and see if it does
not look like rain.’ And if I tell him that
the sun is shining brightly, Judge Mar
shall will sometimes reply, ‘All the better,
for our jurisdiction extends over so large
a territory that the doctrine of chances
makes it certain that it must be raining
somewhere.’ The Chief was brought up
upon Federalism and Madeira, and he is
not the man to outgrow his early preju
dices.” A granddaughter writes this of
him: “From my father I learned venera
tion tor him as a simple-hearted, good
man: true, just and honorable. He knew
from others I would hear my grandfather
was a great man. Of this my father never
spoke. My mother has often told me that
numbers of the anecdotes told of him were
without foundation, especially those in
dicating his slovenliness. He was ex
tremelv neat, hut careless as to the style
of his dress and always looked old-fash
ioned, 1 suppose.”
One of the highest compliments to his
profound learning was bestowed by John
Randolph when commenting upon an
opinion delivered by the Judge. He said,
“It is all wrong, but there is noman in the
United States who can show wherein it is
wrong.” His judicial duties called him
annually- to Raleigh, North Carolina, and
on such occasions he would always stop
with a certain landlord whose house was
noted for its want of comfort and grew
worse year by year. On one of his visits I
learned from'a gentleman that he saw the
Chief Justice very early in the morning
gathering an armful of wood at the wood
pile. which he carried into the house.
Upon meeting him in the capitolthe same
day, and telling him of having seen him
in the morning, he said: “Yes, I suppose
it is not convenient for Mr. Cook to keep
a servant, so 1 make up my own fires.”
In 1807 he presided at the famous trial of
Aaron Burr. “Why did you not tell Chief
Justice Marshall that the people of Ameri
ca demanded a conviction?” was the
question put to Wirt after the trial. “Tell
him that!” was the reply. “I would have
as soon have gone to Herschel and told
him that the i>eople of America insisted
that the moon had horns, as a reason why
he should draw her with them.” On one
occasion, as he was riding down Main
street in Richmond, and, as was his cus
tom when on horseback, held in his hand
along, keen switch, a gentleman standing
on the corner said to a friend, “What a
long switch the Chief J ustice carries,” “Is
it possible that is Judge Marshall,” re
plied the other; “I’m determined I will
know what he carries such a long switch
for;” and he actually hurried after the old
man, and stopping him, asked the ques
tion. With the greatest politeness the
Chief Justice simply answered, “To cut
my horse with,” and rodeon. The gentle
man was so chagrined at his impertinent
curiosity, and the quiet, dignified polite*
ness of the Chief Justice that he wrote
him an humble apology. Henry Clay
called Marshall “the Father of the Judi
ciary.” Robin, the Chief Justice’s body
servant and factotum, was almost as well
known in Richmond as his master; finer
manners or more faultless .deportment
could hardly be presented by the most ed
ucated and refined gentleman than char
acterized his bearing on all occasions.
When walking the streets he was always
dressed in a handsome suit of black; the
coat with a large buff collar and wrist
bands, white vest and cravat, pants but
toned at the knee, and large silver buckles
on highlypolished shoes, finished his cos
tume. With manners so polished as to
attract the attention of strangers, some of
whom have been known to return his
graceful salutation and stop to inquire
the name of his master, when Robin,
beaming with pride and satisfaction,
would answer, “Judge Marshall, sir—the
Chief Justice of these United Slates.*’ A
niece of Judge Marshall’s, who spent
much time at his house, told me Robin
worried the young ladies who happened
to be staying there considerably by dis
missing their beaux every day at dinner
time. In spite of all their entreaties the
same thing occurred every.day. Dinner
was at 4:30. Regularly as the clock struck
4 Robin would appear, “ladies,” he would
say, “the Judge has come from court and
gone to his room to prepare for dinner;
gentlemen, we have arranged places for
you and will be very glad if you will re
main; dinner will be served in half an
hour.” Then he would throw open the
door, and bold indeed would be the young
man who could remain and detain the
young ladies from their preparations for
dinner in the face of this gentle but de
termined hint. The young ladies assured
him they could hear the dressing-bell and
needed no other warning, but it was all to
no purpose. Uncle Robin had his ideas
of propriety, and generally had his own
way. A gentleman told me he met the
Chief Justice one morning during harv
est hurrying out to his farm. He had a
large jug resting on the pommel of his
saddle, and having lost the cork was hold
ing his thumb in it for a stopper. It was
whisky for his hands. At a dinner he
gave to a nephew aud his bride, he drank
this toast standing: "To all our sweet
hearts.” He presided for the last time in
the Supreme Court in the winter session
of 1835. During the latter part of this
session his health was obviously failing.
He was now 80 years old. It is said that
“it was a touching and striking spectacle
to see the tall, majestic, venerable man in
his robe of office, move with firm step to
his usual seat among his associates with
his accustomed, dignified composure, and
simple and artless grace of manner.”
The righteous judge has given his last
opinion, and has gone to appear at that
bar the Judge of which “reserves to Him
self the right to search the hearts of
men.” His tomb in Shocko Hill Cemete
ry consists of a marble slab, held by four
upright columns. Upon the slab is the
simple inscription he wrote two days be
fore his death: “John Marshall, son of
Thomas and Mary Marshall, was born on
the 24th of September, 1755; intermarried,
with Mary Willis Ambler, the 3d of Jan-'
uary, 1783; departed this life the 6th of
July. 1835.” Justice Story said: “His
proudest epitaph may be written in a sin
gle line—‘Here lies the expounder of the
constitution of the United States.’ ”
LOVE ON A NEW SCHOONER.
How Capt. Cooper Met and Won His
Present Bride.
With flags flying and her fair white sails
flung to the breeze, says a Philadelphia
special, the long, trim, clipper-built
schooner, the Francis L. Cooper, sailed
from this port on Thursday for Bio de
Janeiro, and her sailing marks the second
chapter in a love romance of more than
ordinary interest which has just come to
light. Capt. R. Y. M. Cooper, her com
mand and part owner, superintended her
building. She was constructed according
to his own ideas, and he paid special at
tention to the cabins and state-rooms.
Every modern convenience was intro
duced, and as a novelty he had a bath
room built adjoining his saloon. From
main topgallant mast to bowsprit she was
decked with bunting. Her decks were as
tidy as the proverbial new pin, and the
white paint of her wood work glistened in
the warm summer sunlight. Daily she
was besieged by throngs of visitors, and
not unfrequentiy her gallant Captain, a
fine, handsome fellow, two-and-thlrty or
thereaboHts, was on board to welcome
those who honored his home with a call.
About two week 6 ago he was much at
tracted by the appearance of a more than
usually charming young woman, whose
fresh, young beauty was enhanced by the
snowy whiteness of her close fitting dress.
Like every true sailor, Capt. Cooper had
an eye for feminine beauty, and bis heart
gave several very big thumps against his
watch pocket as he saw her come over the
side. Harder and harder that member
thumped as the beautiful girl, with a
smile playing about her cheery mouth,
came straight to where the big Captain
was standing. He did not know her, he
was sure, but she evidently knew him,
and when she reached him she extended
her hand and spoke so pleasantly and
familiarly that he felt ashamed of himself
for not recognizing her. Suddenly it
came upon him like a flash. He had met
her at the house of a friend while stop
ping here several years ago. She was
then a mere child, and now had almost
outgrown his recollection. Then she
told him how things had changed. Her
father had died and her mother had mar
ried again, and they were all living to
gether at Eighteenth and Chestnut streets.
Very proud was the Captain as he stowed
his fair young visitor over his s<< ~ ifier,
bright and new and handsome as Sittas
ure crait, and very much pleased he
as she admired every little feature so dear
to his own heart. When she left she in
vited him to call, and the Captain was
not loth to accept the invitation. Then
the young lady returned his visit, ami
several times' was she on board the
Cooper.
Half in jest one day, hardly daring to
hope, Capt. Cooper, who had fallen over
head and ears in love, asked her if she
would not like to go with him to Rio de
Janeiro as his wife, and the pretty Miss
Nicum told him then and there that she
would go. From the first time she had
met him he had been her ideal lover, and
she would never have married any one
else. It did not take long to arrange the
details, and early this week they were
wed. Then haste was made to set sail and
the romantic sailor and his devoted bride
are by this time well on their way towards
Brazil, expecting to make the port of des
tination in less than forty-five days from
the Delaware Breakwater.

Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup
should always be used when children are
cutting teeth. It relieves the little suf
lerer at once: it produces natural, quiet
sleep by relieving the child from pain, and
the little cherub awakes as “ bright as a

soothes the child, softens the gums, al
lays all pain, relieves wind, regulates
the bowels, and is the best known remedy
lor diarrhoea, whether arising from teeth

HOUNDED BY WITCHES.
Sixteen Frightened People Found Hud
dled Together—Dog-Tails as a Charm.
One of the mo9t remarkable cases of
superstition unearthed in this country
since the days of the historical affair at
Salem, Mass., 150 years ago, 6ays a Flint,
Mich., special to the Chicago Times , is
reported from Mount Morris township, in
the county of Genesee, Mich. Four and a
half miles from the village of Mount
Morris and eleven miles north of Flint
there resided a family of sixteen persons
in a small hut, not intended for the ac
commodation of over four with any degree
of comfort. A day or two since,
word was brought to Flint that the whole
family was bewitched, or at least labored
under an hallucination to that effect and
were conducting themselves in a most
singular and outrageous manner, much to
the annoyance and even alarm of the
neighborhood.
In company with officers of the law
your correspondent visited the scene.
Shortly before the arrival of the cor
respondent at the place. Dr. Lyman Ful
ler, of Clio, who had attempted to gain an
entrance into the hut on a professional
visit, had been stabbed in the right breast
with a pocket knife in the hands of a
male member of the bewitched family,
who resisted his intrusion. The wound
inflicted was not serious. After stabbing
the doctor, the woman, followed by two
other inmates of the shanty, ran to the
house of a neighbor, where, after frighten
ing the occupants of the place out of
doors, they locked themselves inside. The
house was surrounded by officers, who in
the meantime had arrived, the rear door
was broken open, and
THE LUNATICS WERE ARRETEDS
and taken to Flint, where they were
placed in jail. The hovel in which the
family have lived for some time past con
tains but four small rooms. • In these
there have been huddled together like
swine sixteen persons—viz., Mrs. Sumner
and baby, Mrs. Whitney, probably 70
years of age, Mr. and Mrs. Clark'and
three children, Mrs. Livingston and three
children, Artie Whitney, Edward Whit
ney, Zora Whitney, and Sylvester Whit
ney, all the progeny of Mrs.'Whitney with
the exception of Mr. Clark and the child
ren. The scene of squalor aud wretched
ness which met the eye of the correspond
ent as he entered the hut baffles descrip
tion. In a small room on a tumbledown
bed lay Mrs, Sumner with a small infant
at her breast. This unfortunate woman
imagines that she is bewitched and the
victim of evil spirits, She was separated
frCin Z.ZZ hot siue0 > because
she and her relatives thought HZ*. the
man, who is described a9 simple minded
and inofl'ensive, was trying to induce his
wife to join him in his spiritualistic belief
and become a medium* She now imagines
that her husband has caused the witches
to select her as a subjtct for their capri
ces, and the mental auguish she has suf
fered is something terrible. She is a
veritable living skeleton and is physically
as well as mentally a complete wreck.
Her belief in the visitations of witches is
shared by all the members of the house
hold old enough to think, and many and
novel are the practices resorted by "them
to dispel the influnces of the evil spirits.
The ignorant people claim that the pres
ence of the witches is made known in the
night in various ways. Sometime it would
be by noises resembling the buzzing of a
swarm of bees; distinct cries of
“Mulder!” would be heard; strange and
unaccountable sounds like the singing of
a mocking bird, the whinny of a horse,
and the bleating of a lamb were also men
tioned. But a still more remarkable
feature of the alleged mysterious visita
tions was the presence at times of an
offensive smell which resembled
THE ODOR OF BURNING FJLESH
and came pouring into the shanty through
the doors and windows. To dispel the
stench, which threatened to suffocate the
whole family, two old muskets were pro
cure and loaded with powder and pieces
of silver in the shape of broken coin.
This charge they tired through the win
dows from the inside, breaking every pane
of glass in the frames. This strange ex
periment for frightening the witches away
was kept up for several nights, until the
neighborhood finally became alarmed and
notified the authorities. On Wednesday,
July 30, Mrs. Whitney became impressed
with the idea that the witches had taken
up their abode in the animals about the
place, and in accordance with a tradition
ary custom she went into the field and
amputated a portion of the tails of the
cows and pigs to break the spell. The
family dog was not forgotten, a small
slice of its ear being cut off with a razor.
The furniture of the hut is most dilapi
dated, and the appearance of things gen
erally repulsive in the extreme. Filth
predominated, and the stench was simply
unbearable.
At the time of the correspondent’s visit
a small, rickety stove emitted a sickening
heat, which in great measure was the
cause of the abominable smell. On in
quiry as to the reason for keeping suen a
blazing fire on a sultry day the corres
pondent learned that the heat did its
share toward preventing the presence of
the witches. Little children of all sorts
and sizes, clothed in garments of poverty
but apparently happy enough, inlested
the shanty and’ gazed 'with curious inter
est upon 'the unexpected visitors. Last
Thursday afternoon officers from Flint
again visited the place, and arrested the
inmates of the hut on a charge of disorder
ly conduct. The superstitious creatures
were brought to Flint and placed in du
rance. The case against them will be
heard on Friday. The authorities are atti
loss to know what disposition to make of
the misguided people now they have them
on their hands. While the unfortunates
are beyond a doubt crazv on the subject
of witchcraft, they are rational enough in
all other matters. They are visited daily
at the jail by large numbers of curious
persons, with whom they converse with
great freedom.
ROBBERY OF PASSENGERS.
The Responsibility of Kailway Com
panies for Losses.
There are many cases, says tbe Ilailicay
Register, where passengers have brought
suits against steamboat companies to
recover the value of property stolen from
their staterooms. In most instances the
carriers were held liable, because they
sold the board and lodging together with
the transportation, and were as much
inn-keepers as they were carriers. Still
even in these classes of cases the courts
have seemed reluctant to make the com
panies liable.
Mrs. Del Valle was going down tbe
Mississippi once and wore all her jewelry,
in order nrobably to make a good appear
ance. When she retired she put the pro
perty, valued at $6,000, in the pocket of
her dress, and hung the latter on the
hooks provided for the purpose. In the
morning the dress and jewels were both
missing. But the stern judge said that
Mrs. Del Valle, and not the company,
must bear the loss, because she ought to
have deposited the jewelry with the clerk.
In England, as well as in this country,
railway companies have been held for
the theft or loss of the hand baggage of
passengers. Mr. Richards once went up
to Loudon, having with him a satchel con
taining several thousand pounds. Arriv
ing at the station a train porter carried it
out to a cab and went back for another
Eiece of baggage. The cabby, recognizing
is opportunity, did not wait, but drove
off before the unfortunate Richards and
the porter returned. Yet Mr. Richards
was not so very unfortunate after all, for
he sued the company and recovered the
amountof the loss. In this case and others
similar, the theory acted on by tbe courts
was that the lost baggage was construc
tively in the custody of the carrier, and
that the passenger had not released the
company from itsobligation to care for it.
The principle of the first cases recited
was that the company only agrees to
carry safely the passengers and such
baggage as’ it may agree to carry by
checking it. The contract is performed
when the checked articles and the pas
sengers are not injured. If a loss arises
in consequence of the failure of the com
pany to carry the passenger with proper
skill and due diligence, then the carrier
will be liable. But when any person
takes into tbe car articles of any kind he
does so at his own risk, and if they are
lost or stolen he cannot recover. If a dis
honest employe, however, should steal the
baggage ot tbe passenger, the company
would be lidble; lor it agrees to only
employ honest and competent servants.
This rule is fair, because it is easy for
a traveler, if he desires security for his
baggage, to have it checked, or, if it is of
peculiar and unusual value, to acquaint
the carrier with that fact, and recompense
him for the responsibility. It is either
negligence or fraud for a passenger to
take with him into the car property that is
exceedingly valuable, and if it is lost it is
his own fault; for the company cannot be
held for the loss of that of whose value it
was ignorant, and for the carriage of
which it did not contract,
FACTS CONCERNING COFFEE.
Some Things Every Drinker of Coffee
Ought to Know.
In spite of the unquestionable facts that
the choicest coffees in the world are
abundantly imported into England, that
the berry in its integrity is procurable
without difficulty, and that its use is so
general as to stand second only to tea, says
the St. Jame\Gazette, we have learned to
tolerate the abiding existence of a warm
brownish liquid—flat, feeble and dull—
a cup of which may have inspired the
suggestion of Burton, in his “Anatomy,”
that it was “like that black broth of the
Lacedemonians, and perhaps the same.”
The horse bean has been unjustly tra
duced as contributing to the “body” of
this strange decoction, but, in fact, if
weight may be given to the assertion of
an eminent vegetarian, there is just now
a call upon the nourishing bean as a
“base” in the manufacture of beef tea
and other forms of “condensed” meat.
Supposing, however, the make-weight of
“mixed” coffee to be of no baser sort than
chiccory itself, this substance is totally
destitute of the exhilarating and restora
tive properties of the former. How valu
able these are is a matter very insuf
ficiently understood. The Abyssinians,
who probably used coffee long before the
Persians or Turks, still make a composi
tion of butter and the pounded berry,
which in traveling they find more sus
taining than either" bread or meat. In
Central Africa the bean is persistently
chewed by the natives, and it is no un
common custom in the East for the
grounds of prepared coffee to be swal
lowed after the liquid.
That the savage should thus realize a
fact to which the Englishman Is as a rule
persistently indifferent may be set down
as one of the vagaries of modern civiliza
tion. Determined, however, to agitate in
this useful branch of reform* and, start
ing with the planter’s fundamental max
im, “Old coffees, young teas,” there is no
reason why ordinary householders should
not mature the berry in their own store
closets. It must be kept raw aud, prefer
ably in small bulk, the piquant aroma
being due to a volatile oil which is devel
oped in the process of roasting. The com
mon failure of a cup of coffee to attain a
reasonable standard of excellence is due
to more than one cause. If kept too long
after roasting, the fine flavor of
the berry is dissipated, but even
this may be to some extent revived
by carefully heating the ground
coffee before use. On the other hand, the
aroma may be entirely driven off by treat
ing as a decoction that which should be
pre-eminently a simple infusion. But
- , „should coffee not be boiled, it
should not even £ allo * ed * Afresh
for any length of time. Frt a .„\ Sard
is a sine qua non, and, again, it
ly be made too strong. Ude may perha,.
be considered extravagant in his artistic
allowance of “one cup of ground coffee
for two cups of liquid,” but the great
man admitted the principle of subsequent
dilution, with boiled cream for choice,
though even hot water may be then added
without injury to the flavor. Asa diges
tive strong “black” coffee has scarcely
an equal, and it is in this torm that the
connoisseur deliberately approves the
daintily brewed cup of pure Mocha. It
must be said that this is a kind of “home
comfort” most commonly accessible at a
club or well-appointed "hotel, while as a
club comfort, with some trepidation be it
said, transplanted to the narrower arena
of the domestic circle, it is oftener than
it might be a bitter failure. Somehow or
other, lovely woman will not stoop to the
folly of putting in a whole cup of coffee
for two people—“not for anyone.” Coffee
must be brewed by man for man.
But even the beverage intended for
standing use—which of course the
“black” coffee par excellence is not—may
be made bright, fragrant and exhilarat
ing. Abundant, but not excessive,
strength may still be pleaded for as
“cheaper in the end.” We have only to
inhale the steam of freshly made coffee of
good class, and no mistake can be made
as to its beneficent character. It repeat
edly acts like a charm upon headache or
mental exhaustion, and, accompanied
with tobacco in any form, will enable
student or sentry to "keep vigil to the
dawn. For ordinary domestic use, how
ever, a judicious “blend” is to be pre
ferred to an individual kind. A mixture
—uncontemplated by the act —of fine con
ditioned Mocha, with equal parts of
“Tellicherry” and West Indian “Planta
tion,” may satisfy Oriental and English
man alike.
SULKOVSKY’S MILLION.
Shall Boston be Sold to Satisfy the
Claims of a Polish Patriot’s Heirs?
More than half a century ago, in Rus
sian Poland, says the New York Sun,
there was living a Polish patriot—Peter
Sulim-Suikovsky—who, while serving in
the Czar's army, had won a General's
epauletets. \T hen, m 1830, the Polish pa
triots mustered themselves In order to
free their unhappy fatherland, Gen.
Sulkovsky became one of their leaders.
The huge army of the Czar Nicholas,
however, quickly crushed the revolution
ary patriots. All the Poles who escaped
with their lives from Russian bayonets
and Cossack lances fled abroad. Among
the fugitives was Gen. Sulkovsky, who
managed to carry away his large fortune.
The expatriated General came to the
United States. The story goes that he in
vested his money in some very profitable
American enterprises and soon became a
millionaire. In 1837, so the story runs,
the General had deposited in a bank at
Boston money, stocks, and shares
amounting to $ 15,000,000. Two years later
be died, leaving a will. It it not clear
why liis heirs did not claim the money be
queathed to them immediately after the
testator’s death. In 1848 some of the
relatives of the General tried to find and
get possession of his fortune, but they did
not succeed. Again, in 1856, many Poles
who claimed to be near or remote rela
tives of the deceased General tried their
utmost to find the will. They claimed to
have learned that the General ordered in
his will that his money, with all the in
terest, should be undisturbed for fifty
years from the date ot the will, and that
those millions, with interest for half a
century, were to be then distributed, in
1887, among his heirs.
There are hundreds of Poles who be
lieve this story of Gen. Sulkovsky’s mill
ions. For the last three years the Imperi
al Government at St. Petersburg, the
Russian Legation at Washington, the
Russian Consul-General in this city, the
Russian Vice Consul at Boston, and the
Boston authorities have been pestered
with petitions of numberless Sulkoyskys
and others who claim relationship to the
Sulkovsky family. The death records and
the records of the Probate Court, both at
Boston and in this city,have been repeat
edly searched. No traces of Gen. Sul
kovsky and of his millions have been
found anywhere, and the Czar’s Govern
ment has’ been advised accordingly; but
the hosts of claimants are not satisfied.
The nearer 1887 comes the more excited
are the Sulkovskys. There are about a
dozen attorneys in tbe employ of the heirs.
Some of them’are said to be already here,
some are on the way, and others are about
to 6tart from Poland.
About two years ago the Russian Con
sul in this city published in the Sun an
advertisement asking the American pub
lic ior any information about Gen. Sul
kovsky. No definite inlormation was ob
tained. Many an astrologist offered to tell
all about the matter, and some volunteer
detectives began working on the case.
Polish mathematicians began computing
the compound interest on $15,000,000, and
they came to the conclusion that proba
bly the w hole city of Boston would have
to be sold in order to satisfy the surviving
Sulkovskys and other heirs. The heirs of
a military turn are discussing means of
compelling the United States authorities
to pay their claims. Some of the more
determined descendants of the General
even hint that perhaps it may be necces
sary to muster a regiment of Sulkovskys
and to cross the Atlantic.
A morning contemporary commented yes
terday upon the death of three men from the
balloon accident at Lille. This morning its
readers must have been pleased to see that
two of the three had recovered, and “only
one” remained “dead np to the present.” The
words would almost suggest that even his
case is not quite hopeless. Death from a bal
loon is, perhaps, not so deadly as other dis
eases.—London Globe.
