HOW TO ARGUE A BAH CASE.
EV GEO. M. DAVIS, ES<}., OF LOUISVILLE.
in arguing a oau ease before the Judge,
the first thing for the sagacious practi
tioner to do, is to get as far
away from the merits of the
case as possible. With this idea you must
make your real case of secondary impor
tanee.’or further off even than’ that, if
possible. Plant yourself at once, there
tcre. ”pon some Inroad principle, and en
deavor to allure the other side into grap
pling with you upon it. Rise above the
mere case of your Mr. Jones, and make
the country at large stand as your impe
riled client. In other words, the first
thing to do, if possible, is. with a look of
profundity, and voice of rotundity, to
raise it “constitutional point.*’
Now there is nothin.' so pleasing to the
ordinary nisi prius Judge as to have
raised, in his court, deep problems of con
stitutional law. Wheu you rise, with a
copy of Cooley, Story and other constitu
tional authorities before you, and, for pur
poses of greater impression, the fifty
pound volUiH3 ot the United Slates lie
vised Statutes containing the Federal
Constitution (for the bigger the book the
better, in constitutional arguments), you
will perceive the Judge at ouce undergo
a marked change. If he has, from demo
cratic tendencies, or from the heat of
summer, taken off his coat, or drawn his
boots, you will see him carefully put them
on. and. braciusrhimself back "as an “up
right Judge,’* sit with a thoughtful air.
conscious that there now hangs upon him
the destiny of the country and of the fu
ture unborn. You may. perhaps, per
ceive during the argument none cf the
usual signs of weariness, but rather that 1
expression of fortitude and death which
cue might imagine Chief Justice Mar
shall’s countenance to have exhibted dur
ing the argument of the Dartmouth Col
lege case by Daniel Webster.
There is nothing better in a bad case
than to announce, with emotional inten
sity, that the effort of the opposing coun
sel would, if permitted to be successful,
result in a decomposition of ‘’vested
rights;” or tlut they would ruthlessly
impair the “solemn obligation of con
tracts;” or that they are permeated with
“c <• post facto ” malignity.
Magistrates' courts, I have observed, are
peculiarly susceptible to the seductive in
fluence of constitutional law.
Nor, in these fundamental ramifica
tions. should you confine yourself alone
to the constitution of your particular
State. Y'ou s .ould “broaden yourself
out' and take in the Constitution of the
Union; including the recent arnend
"'“•Ufc, which, under a “broad-minded”
u.. ***'*'- you xasy eonbJgrl, with
construct,.,-., -‘•'■•wej to proceed, l?
a fair hope of beingi
mean almost anything that your nece.
ties require. Nav, your genius, if capa-i
ble of still greater daring, may soar back
to "Maana C'.arfu” itself, and disport
awhile amid reminiscences of “Runny
mede.” “King John,” and the “Powerful I
Barons,’* who so often serve for padding j
in the powerful efforts of our
trr;"*
..till.
When, however, you feel that you can
no longer sustain your flight iu the rare
fied atmosphere of the lofty altitudes of
constitutional law, be sure, in your down
ward descent, that you alight upon the
“statutes.”
Now, in the great body of statutory law,
It will be marvelous indeed if you can
not find something that will give you hope
and comfort. Remember, in the first
place, that all the statutes of England
prior to the “fourth year of James I.” are
good as new here iu Kentucky. Remem
ber, too. that all the statutes of Virginia
‘•prior to 1792” are also legal tender. Re
member, further, that all the statutes that
till the tremendous volumes of the “United
States at Large,” are full of potency, and
that the great body of our own laws, as
amended and improved by the constantly
argumenting wisdom ol succeeding legis
lative intelligences, has created a mass of
profound statutory law, some of which
will strengthen almost any bad case that
may l>e imagined. There'are many sec
tions of our code that can, by a little in
genious construction, be converted into
bulwarks behind which a bad case may
rest in apparent satety. I remember, a
few days ago, when an injunction was
sued out to prevent a Kentucky corpora
tion the Knights of Honor from emigrat
ing from the "state of Kentucky to "Mis
souri, an nngeni >us friend suggested to
me, as counsel for the proposed emigrant,
a statutory argument, mv failure to use
which possibly led to the perpetuation of
the injunction. He called attention to
sec. os-i of the code, which -abolishes the
writ of tie • exeat ,’ ” and he said: “flow
can this corporation be prevented irom go
ing out of the State when tne writ"of
*ne treat' has been abolished by solemn
statute?”
If, however, you cannot, by ingenious
and subtle transfiguration of the stat
ytes, manage to anchor your case in the
Vapid*, the next best thing is to fail back
f' - -*ur reserve learning, and to make
/ - K *t my laird Coke calls

the Common Law.”
Tne current scientific theory of this day
is that of “evolution,” and one of the
leading tenents of evolution is, that man
kind, in its progress fr m barbarism to
civilization, passes through many degrees
of morals: so that, at one time in its ca
reer a thing will be considered right
which at a later time wul be declared
wrong: very much as the clothes a
child are ridiculed as unfit ’ ae comes
to be a man.
Whatever case you may have, there
l'ors, and however bad it may seem now, j
it is j rettv certain that it would have
fitted the ideas of right in someone stage !
of the progress of the evolution of Kng- j
land from its barbaric state to its present
condition. The fact is, that a bad case is j
somewhat like Lord's Palmerston's fa- |
mous definition of “dirt.’’ He said that j
dirt was simply "matter out of place.” !
So a bad case is simply a case out ot
time. In old times, we know that mur
der was rather approved as a fine art in
England; and we know that batteries and
trespasses were by no means as reprehen
sible as now. Embexxlements are still
cherished by the common law as no
crimes. You have, therefore, only to
search back through the various strata of
the English common law to that one to
which >our case projterly belongs: and
you will generally have little difficulty ia
finding precedents soruewere in the line
that lit and ju6tiiy it entirely. For ex
ample. the case, bad at this time, was
probably a good ease in the time ot Coke;
and. therefore, Coke is your authority. It
vour case be very bad you may have to
go as far back as Bracton. or even to the
Year Books. But then the further back
you go the more learned it sounds.
And it is to be said in favor of this com
mon law mode of {‘resenting a bad case,
that nothing is more pleasing to the Judge
than to hear arguments, and to rest opin
ion upon old common law points. Au
opinion of a modern Judge, so full of the
old common law authorities that you can
almost blow the dust off it, is looked upon
bv its author with peculiar pride: for he
knows that it is sure to be complimented
as "able and exhaustive" by succeeding
lawyers who may have occasion to cite it
as authority in their favor.
l.et us assume, however, that you have
searched the heights of the Constitution
and the depths of the Statutes and the
varviug strata of the common law, and
found no comfort there. Under such cir
cumstances, it may pay you. like many
persons who have committed dubious
acts in England, to take a little trip
abroad. In other words, you should stray
over into the domain of the ‘‘ciyil law."
Y’ou may, thereupon, descant learnedly
upon the ‘"Code of JustiniaD” or the
“Code Napoleon,” and exhibit traces of a
mind too broad for this hemisphere. Y’ou
will find that a little dab of civil law,
especially in Latin, will sometimes cause
the Judge to come down without further
debate.
A large amount of this peculiar I atin
may be found ready in Judge Story’s book
on bailments.
If. however, all ot these successive re
sources that 1 have named, proved fruit
less, you will be driven to another resort,
viz.: the Kentucky Reports. And here
let me warn you not to be downcast or dis
heartened at’this stage; nor should you
yield to the gloomy apprehension, that be
cause you have found the law against you
everywhere else you will also find it
acainst you there. By beating the
“Bushes” you may expect to scare up
much unexpected law.
Of course, if a case is found in your fa
vor there, it generally ends your troubles;
for it will be followed by all the courts in
the State, except sometimes by the one
that rendered it.
There is also a very valuable magazine
of unknown learning in those manuscript
opiuions marked “not to be reported.” 1
have known some desperate cases to be
won by the citation, from memory, by our
older lawyers, of manuscript opinions,
which, however, they always assure us
younger members, were “burned up in the
appellate clerk’s office tire in 18G5.”
An ingenious member of the bar, it is
said, has with great advantage invented
the idea of saying to the Judge below,
that he has, besides reading the opinion,
had a more or less confidential talk with
the Judge who wrote it, in which the
Judge told him that the opinion was
meant to go much further than on its face
it seems to go; and our friend sometimes
accompanies this with an intimation that
if the Judge below, does not regard the
additional light thrown upon the opinion
by this confidential communication, the
chances are be will have occasion to meet
that most dreadful of all things to a nisi
print Judge. a reversal of his opinion on
an intimated appeal.
If you find, atter a careful exploration
of Barbour's Digest, that tne Kentucky
law also is silent when you invoke it, the
next thing left you is’ to attack that
myriad-mindc-d monster, the "United
-tales Digest."’ Sit yourself down there
fore to this work of digestion, in that
hopeful spirit in which the sick and hun
gry Sancho I’anza contemplated an “olla
podrida.”
“<suote Sancho. that great dish which 1
see smoking yonder I take to be an olla
podrida: and amidst tne diversity of
things therein contained, I may surely
light upon something both wholesome and
toothsome.”
It is the boast of our American people
that, owing to our very great diversity of
soil and climate, we are able to show
wellnigh every product of nature, from
the tropical fruits of Florida. Texas and j
the Pacific* coast, to the hardy pines of j
frigid Maine. But while America may be
proud of her diversity of products in other !
directions, her greatest praise for variety 1
cf production is certainly in the line (it |
the law. If a vote were put ou any con- I
eeivable point, to the reports of the thirty- 1
eight States, rarely indeed would it be j
“unanimously carried.” It has been po- j
etically said that when Nero died -oue” |
hand strewed flowers upon his tomb; and j
no matter how bad your case may be, you I
may rest assured that you can lav upon \
its tomb the tribute of some precedent iu !
its tavor from the United states Digest. !
Let us suppose, however, that you have
gone through all these processes of en
lightenment. and have bombarded the
court with the various legal artilleries 1
have named. Let us suppose your case
so bad that you can develop nothing in the
Constitution or the Statutes, or the deci
sions to support you. Still do not suc
cumb. Y our case is a hard one. But all
is not yet lost. There is oue last resort
for the despairing attorney. There is one
faint light which his dying eyes mar see.
It may not amount to much. It’mav
prove illusive. But it is the duty of the
lawyer to try all legal means. Asa last
resort, therefore, my friends, and onlv in
that dreadful extremity, fall back upon
what is known as the "argument upon
principle” and the -merits of the ease.”
In that emergency, you may proceed to
give, possibly from your ow'd personal
knowledge, a vivid biographical sketch of
the moral perfections ot your client; and
"erhaps likewise a converse picture of the
Jkknfn J "’oral obliquities of his op
— "’diment to the ex
ponent. lav thatOuu. r ’’theyhave
dibiiity of your witnesses fsh- .
always deserved, but have perhaps ne*v._.
before received. Denounce the -techni- !
calities” of the opposing law. Appeal to j
that .higher ire .the ..profession, in |
which the Judge, overlooking mere tecE7‘,
nieal precedents, rises into abstract
ethics, and considers the case upon
-hi-’h points and general principles.”
Indulge the sensibilities ol the race.
Bring the calm light of the emotions into
play to assist the logic of the court.
Paint the beneficent effects of the deci
sion in your favor. Depict the fearful con
sequences of a decision against you. And
wind up with an inspiring burst of pro
fessional ferver, or by a pathetic appeal, in
a minor key.
If. however, in spite of all these lauda
ble legal efforts, the Judge below is obdu
rate. and the decision is against your un
happy client, still, my brother, do not
yield wholly to despair.’ As in the dcah
of a good man comes his brightest hope,
so in the loss of a bad case comes its best
opportunity. Remember there is organ
ized. in the jurisprudence of every State,
a series of superior tribunals, -created
for the express purpose.” as Judge Em
mons once said, -of reversing the lower
courts.” Remember, as you lie rolling
over in the dust of the lower arena, that
there still stands a higher tribunal, whose
doors are only open to the defeated and
the beaten, and to cases adjudged -bad.”
and to which the succesful can never ap
peal.
At the threshold of the appellate courts
the history of a -bad case” naturally
ends: for! there under the requirement
of even-handed justice, all eases must
stand alike.
A MAX WHO LAUGHS AT LOCKS.
How Combination Safes Yield C>> Their
Secrets to an Expert.
Star.
“Locks: Locks won’t keep burglars out.
Why, 1 can open any kind of lock that has
ever been invented, without key or com
bination.'’ The speaker was’ a closc
shaved. clean-cut, penetrating-looking
man. He stood in a locksmith's shop on
Four and a Half street, dangling the dial
of a combination iock on the end of a bent
wire.
“They open if he looks at ’em,” said a
Vol [* K - who stood by interestedly examin
ing The bits :\ r locks, ’old keys,
drills and odds and ends of wire, utiss
and steel which were scattered about the
shop. The sign in f r '„ ul 0 f the door read
"Practical Lo T*imitU and Safe Opener,”
“ . jolt make a practice of breaking
<>pon safes?" asked the Star man.
“I open safes when nobody else can,”
replied the smith, giving the scribe a keen
inquiring look which might have opened
him had he been a lock. “That is, I open
safes when the locks are out of order or
the combinations lost. Sometimes a man
will oil the lock of his sale and it gets
gummed up so that the tumblers won't
work and he can’t get it open. Some men
are forgetful and lose their combination.
Safes are sold at Sheriff's sale sometimes
and, the owner being mad, won't give up
the combination. When anything of that
kind happens they send for me.”
“Do you blow them open?*’
“No. If the lock is broken so that it
won't work I drill a little hole alongside
the dial and pick the lock with a small
bit of wire. If the lock is all right, only
the combination is lost, I go to work to
find it and don’t deface the safe at all. It
takes me from three seconds to six hours
to open a safe, according to the kind and
the method 1 employ.’’
“But how can you find the combina
tion? Does it not "take a long time ?”
“By testing. As to time, it depends up
on circumstances. If 1 know the man
who set the combination I can find it in a
very minutes. If I don’t, it takes longer.
You see. I study the character of the man,
and if I know him pretty well I can strike
his combination through his character.
When a stranger comes to me to say he
has lost his combination I make a study
ol him. and in nine cases out of ten I can
hit it the second or third trial. But if he
did not set the combination himself it is
more difficult. Then I study the lock in
stead of the man, and I am sure to get it
open in a few hours. Oh. no! It
wouldn't do to tell you how. Safe open
ers are dangers in a community. They
are always watched by the police. They
keep an eye on me all’ the time. I have
them trying my door all hours of the
i night, and there’s generally one some
where around. No, 1 couldn’t teach you
how to open safes. But vou might not
find it easy to learn. There is a kind of
association between me and locks—an
understanding, as it were. We have the
same way of thinking.”

THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1884.
POPULAR PHOTOGRAPHS.
Pictures of Humanity and How Tley
Sell to tho Public—Cash Paid for New
Faces—Great Mon Ignored, bat Great
Women In Demand.
Clearly the most interesting develop
ment in life, says the New York Herald, is
the human feature. Hence daguerreotypes
and photographs. Twenty-five years ago,
when cartes de visite were all the rage,
every man. woman and child, no matter
how humble their means, owned an al
bum, in which tiny pictures were pre
served. At that time the three chief pic
ture takers of this country were Brady,
Fredericks and Gurney. Mr. Brady, as
the files of the Herald abundantly dis
close, began a collection of local, national
and universal celebrities, which, shortly
after the breaking out of our civil war. he
removed to Washington, whence, as a
base of operations, he sent with every
great army corps his representatives to
preserve in pictorial form records of the
great battles of the uay. with portraits of
the men who participated in them. That
vast collection is somewhere stored, but
at present makes no figure in the public
eye.
Some years ago anew style of picture,
called the imperial, was introduced. At
first it found but little favor.as there were
no albums large enough to contains pic
tures of that size. Other artists tollowed
and as art and science kept pace with
capital new galleries were formed, until
to-day the entire city is sprinkled with
frames containing portraits, pictures of
various kinds, and all sorts and sizes,
done for miraculously small sums of
money. Instantaneous photographs area
specially with some, babies* pictures oc
cupy the time of others, groupings utilize
the eye ot this expert and fancy portrait
ure enlists the talents of that.
WHAT AX OLD-TIMER SAYS.
In an interview with a well known pho
tographer yesterday he said: “The first
popular demand, in my experience, oc
curred along about the time when Beech
er, Wendell Phillips, Garrison and their
friends were prominent in the public eye,
but the sale of photographs to any ex
tent, so far as my experience goes, did not
begin until along about 1866. The first
women for whose pictures there was any
noted demand were Fanny Davenport,
Clara Morris and Adelaide Neilson. Very
few pictures were sold of Ristori, but
thousands were sold of Miss Davenport
and other thousands of Miss Moms, al
though the greatest favorite of early
times was Adelaide Neilson. 1 never shall
forget the first time she sat for me. She
was dressed in her magnificent ‘Juliet’
costume, and, as she turned quickly, one
breadth of her exquisite dress caught the
charcoal on a frame behind and by it was
absolutely ruined. Throwing up her hands
and her eyes at the same time she said:
•Oil, dear, what shall 1 do? My dress is
ruined” I suggested, after examination,
that all she would need was a single
breadth, whereupon she became quieted
and sat for pictures, thousands and tens
of thousands of which were sold.”
“I)o you still sell pictures of Neilson?”
“Y’es, many thousands and thousands of
them.”
-Did you pay her anything for that
privilege?”
-Certainly not. The first person 1 ever
paid was Sarah Bernhardt.”
“How much did you give her?”
“Fifteen huudred dollars at first, and I
sold thousands and tens of thousands of
her pictures on European as well as local
orders. It is a singular fact in connection
with this sale of photographs that in
Europe as soon as a celebrity dies the ord
ers for his or her pictures increase mar
velously. while here it is exactly the re
verse.”
DEATH THE LEYELER.
“For instauce?”
“Well, take the case of Horace Greely.
A few months prior to his death his pic
tures 6old very rapidly and the presses
were kept going all the time, but as soon
as he died the demand tell off, and now we
don’t sell one picture of his to where in
othef days we sold a thousand. The same
is true of Farragut, who at one time was
very popular, but now we rarely, if ever
indeed, are asked for one of his pictures.”
“How about Patti?”
“Oh, Patti sells enormously, and will
until she dies. She poses easily and grace
fully, and makes a very fair portrait 39
well as a pretty picture.”
“Did you have to pay her anrthing for
the privilege?”
“Oh, yes; SI,OOO. But one of the great
er! car<ls of recent years is Mrs. Langtry.
V, e have sold so many ’”“ tur es of her I
should really be afraid to make an esti
mate, but scores of_t h;"is-ornel pho
tograpas are sold every year.”
-Did you pay her anything lor the priv
ilege?”’
“Y’es; $1,500, of which SI,OOO were paid
in cash and SSOO iu works of art.”
-But these are all women. Don’t you
ever sell pictures of men?”
‘•Y’es; but men, as a rule, don’t sell a3
well as women, if they are great popular
favorites. It seems more difficult to work
them off. A popular actress, a successful
singer attracts admiration as well as
homage, and everybody appears to want
to have her picture, whereas a man. as a
rule, nobody cares anything about. The
two great ’exceptions were Montague,
formerly of WalUck’s, and George Rig
nold, who, you remember, played here as
‘Henry V.’ Why, it was with difficulty
we could keep ’ pace with our orders.
School girls from all over the country,
young women everywhere, wanted their
pictures. The craze—l can hardly c?.U it
auythiug else—of admiration for those
people reminded me of the admiration
that in olden times followed Lester YVal
lack and George Jordan, the two hand
somest men in the city.”
THE DEAR OSCAR CATCHES ON.
••Did you ever pay percentage to any
man ?”
“Y es, I paid Oscar Av ilde a percentage,
and lor a lime his pictures sold with
marvelous rapidity; in fact, it would be
surprising to know how many photo
graphs of that man were taken from one
ene of the country to the other. I’erhaps
the greatest favorite that we have ever
known, however, was Mary Anderson.
Her pictures in every style, in every posi
tion, meet with instant popular favor on
both sides ot the Atlantic. In Europe she
sells fast, and here it would be impossible
to exaggerate the demand.”
-How about the opera bouffe singers?”
“Well, opera bcuiTe singers, as a rule,
are not pretty women. While they are
here and their names are in the papers
every day, we have a steady sale, but
nothing of consequence, nothing at all t?
compare with the sales of Adelaide Neil-
son or Mary Anderson.”
“How is it with the local actresses, the
members of stock companies?”
“There is a regular, constant trade in
them, hut eoixu s " 9* an Y consequence.
In fact, a pretty-faced chorus girl or a
prettv-faced anything sells better than
anybody, unless there is some special rea
son tor their temporary or prominent pop
ularity. Take the case of Maud Brans
comb,’ for instauce. Why, scores and
scores, thousands and thousands of her
pictures have been taken in cftn .
ceivable attitude — supplicating,
crying, hanging tC, cross, looking this
way, looking that way, doing this thing,
doing that thine—nothing comes amiss to
that face, and in no other way is Miss
Brauscomb known to the world.”
‘•Do Presidential candidates, as a rule,
sell well?”
“One of the greatest sales we ever had
was the Garfield series. During the Presi
dential struggle. subsequently when he
was ill and for a short time after his death
we sold his pictures as fast as we could
print them. Now. however, there is only
tne ordinary demand for him that there
would be for any national figure. How it
may be after a man ceases to be a candi
date, he not being elected, depends some
what upon his previous popularity. 1
think that with such facilities at the dis
posal of the government as art and science
now present there ought to be some sys
tematic way of preserving portraits of
men and women of distinction. Take
that gallery of old Mr. Brady, for in
stance. What could be Jmore interesting
a hundred years from now than the abso
lute portraiture of the battles fought dur
ing the war for the Union? The red man
is rapidly passing away from the face of
the earth. We have nothing absolutely
except the Catlin collection which can tell
to our descendants the manner of man who
formerly occupied and dominated this ter
ritory.”
Queen Victoria's Meanness.
London Truth.
I hear that the Duchess of Albany is
anxious to terminate her residence at
Claremont, and in all probability she will
only return there for a short time. The
Duchess of Albany cannot live there on
£7,000 a year, even with a very small es
tablishment, lor to keep up the place
properlv costs £20,000 a year. I hear
that the'Queen has some idea of quartering
her widowed dauzhter-in-law at Frog
more, a damp and dreary place, which
has not been regularly inhabited since the
Prince and Princess of Wales lived there
for a few weeks more than twenty years
ago.
THE SUPREME JUSTICES.
Their Aces and General Appearance —
When Some of Them Will be Ready
to Retire on a I‘ecsion.
Persons who are figuring on the number
of Justices that President Arthur will
appoint are overlooking sundry points,
says a Washington special to the Chicago
Times, both in the law and in judicial —
perhaps in would be better to 6ay human
nature. It has been confidently asserted
that the next President would have to fill
four vacancies on the Supreme bench, but
only omniscience can be sure of anything
of that kind. The retirement of the Jus
tices is purely voluntary. There is a con
stitutional inhibition of compulsory re
tirement in the words “the Judges, both
of the Supreme and the Inferior Courts,
shall hold their offices during good be
havior,” which are to be found in
the organic law. Heuce a Federal
Judge ha 9 a perfect right to remain
a Judge till the seul leaves the body
if he only remain honest, no mat
ter if be deaf, blind, or imbecile. The law
which was . assed as recently as April 10,
iso:*, only provides that a Judge may re
tire on full pay when he has reached the
age or 7b and ha 9 served ten years upon
the bench. The ordinary overworked in
dividual imagines that he would retire on
full pay just as soon as he was eligible,
but he probably wouldn't. A man who
has always lead a busy life does not want
to settle down to nothing, and old men are
naturally enough a little sensitive about
confessing that their best days are pa6t
and that they can no longer do the work
they used to do. Army officers are often
induced to retire by impaired health
owing to service in the field, and yet Con
gress recently found it necessary to make
retirement of army officers compulso
ry instead ot voluntary, in order
to give the young men a chance and to
prevent all the highest positions in the
army from tilling up with decrepit old
gentlemen of 70 or SO. But Judges are
seldom men whose constitutions have
been impaired by hardship and field ser
vice. A reasonable degree of bodily vigor
stands by them till an advanced age. The
legal profession inculcates an exceptional
respect for precedents and old usages—
naturally, therefore, for old men. "The
work of the judges of the Supreme Court
is not very arduous. Besides
SITTING OX THE BENCH
four hours a day, it is true that the court
spends some time considering cases. But
the so-called bench is a very comfortable,
high-backed chair, in which His Honor
rests himself well, and occasionally goes
to sleep. At any rate, when weary he
can walk out and get a little change. The
Justices are everywhere received with
honors that are agreeable to all men, and
there is a long summer vacation. Bv the
time a Judge has attained the age of 70
years and been 10 or 20 years on the
bench, tho authorities are pretty familiar
to him, and he doe 9 not have to’wear out
much brain tissue studying cases.
In consequence of all these facts you cau
not depend on Justices of the Supreme
Court retiring as soon as they are 70years
of age.
Before 1809 Justices remained on the
| bench till they died, even though they
| might be totally unable to perform the
I duties of the office. Judge Grier was the
first member of the Supreme Court to take
advantage of the retiring law, but lie was
then 72. The next to retire was Judge
Nelson, and he did not leave the bench till
he was 76. Justice Strong retired when
he was a little more than 70, but he was
growing so deaf that he could not bear
arguments, and he wa9 too conscientious
to remain on the bench. Justice Swayne
staid on the bench until he was 75 or 70.
Judge Hunt was retired under a special
statute passed a couple of years ago. He
was over 70 years of age, and was phys
ically unfit to perform any of the duties
of his high office. But, having been over
60 when he was appointed, he had not yet
served ten years on the bench, so ho could
not retire cn full pay; and though he was
a man of large wealth, and his retention
of his place was seriously
RETARDING PUBLIC BUSINESS,
he refused to retire till the ten years from
the date of his appointment hail expired.
With Clifford and Hunt both disabled, it
was sometimes difficult to get a quorum
of the court. The business of the court is
always three years iu arrears, and things
were getting worse. Finally Congress
enacted a law that if Hunt would retire
he should have full pay, though he had
not served ter. years. Then
Judge Clifford nevey**-?^ —Tie died at
the age orjibiUjA-TTr It is told of him that
hssqittfTnly resolved never to retire till
lucre was a Democratic President to ap
point his successor. For two years before
his death he never appeared in court, and
his mind failed so that during the greater
portion of that time he was not capable of
withdrawing himself from the bench.
Take the present court. Thefour Judges
who, it is said, will retire during the next
administration are Chief Justice YTaite
and Associate Justices Bradley, Miller
and Field. The history of judicial retire
ments renders it doubtful if any one of
these, except Bradley, will retire during
the next four years, and not certain that
he will. It is true he i9 71, but he might
have retired last year and didn’t, and has
recently denied that he had any thought
of retirement. Joseph Bradley, irrever
ently known since electoral-commission
days as “Aliunde” Bradley, is too goed a
Republican to retire if Cleveland should
be elected President. Death may knock
the excellent Judge off the bench’, but
HE WILL NEVER HIMSELF
afford a Democratic President an oppor
tunity to appoint his successor. The
Chief Justice and Justices Miller and
Field are 68. The Chief Justice does not
look his years by a decade, and Judge
Field does not look much over 60. He is
the sole representative of the Democratic
party on the bench, and if James G.
Blaine be elected President, Justice Field
may be depended on to refuse all the al
lurements of the retirement act. Field
will hold on until there is a Democratic
President or Providence calls him away.
Justice Miller looks about bis age, but he
is a tough, gnarly-looking old gentleman
who is good lor six or eight and perhaps
ten years yet if paralysis and apoplexy
spare him.
Of the other Justices, Blatchford is 64,
but as he was only appointed two years
ago he will have to serve till he’ is 72
before he can retire on lull pay, unless a
special act is passed in his case, as in
Ward Huufs. Stanley Matthews is 00,
and has been three years on the bench.
Woods is 60, and has been four years on
the bench. Gray is 56, and was appointed
three years ago. Justice Harlan’s hair
less head makes him look like a patriarch,
but he is the youngest of the Judges,
being only 51, and he has been seven years
on the bench. These younger Judges are
pretty healthy aad active looking gentle-,
men.

Co Weroondtme* of the Bouton Transcript.
Stockholm is a wild and giddy town,
unfit for theological students and news
paper correspondents. It has cafes
enough to give one apiece to every inhabi
tant, and each cafe has its own brass
band; consequently the effect upon a Sun
day is as if one had dropped into a circus
unawares. One of the prettiest of the
pleasure resorts, and right in the heart of
the city too, is the Strom parterre , a neat
ly kept little peninsula, which juts out
into the green waters of the Saltsjon, and
affords a beautitul view of the city. Here
I heard an orchestra which was unique
iu its way. It numbered some 70 per
formers, all of whom where small boys.
It was interesting to see three feet of hu
manity trving to plav six feet oi bass fid
dle, and to find the’ big drum towering
high above its performer. But they make
good music and would make the fortune
of any manager who should bring them
to America. I will give your read
ers an inventory of all the cafes
that 1 passed (some of which I
did not pass) the first day of my
stay in Stockholm. Suffice it to say that
at last I found myself in the Djurgarten
at Hasselbackers. This dreadful name is
not Swedish lor a lock-up. It is the
pleasure park par excellence of Stock
holm. Seated in the open air, with a beau
tiful view spread out on every side, the
Stockholmer can listen to excellent music
and drink his beer or coffee at the same
time. 1 only wish that any words of
mine could impress the geniality, the re
spectability, the sobriety of the picture
upon the American public. Here are en
tire families sitting contentedly in the
pure fresh air, taking recreation in a man
ner which all can afford and which will
brighten up the entire week of labor.
They have attended to their religious du
ties in the morning; the afternoon is given
to this absolute rest. There is, of course,
no trace of intoxication, and none of the
hurry and excitement of an American ex
cursion. Stockholm is absolutely encir
cled by beautiful suburbs. The approach
to most of these i9 by water, and little
steam launches carrypassengers in every
direction.
INTO THE JAYV9 OF DEATH.
A Charge that Amazed the World Jast
Thirty Years Ago—The Light Brigade’s
Heroism at Balaklaya Described by
One Who Saw Them Do and Die—“lt
Was Magnificent but It Was Not War.”
Pittsburg.Oct. 25.—1 t was thirty years
ago to-day that the Earl of Cardigan’s
light brigade made its tamous charge at
Balaklara, near Sebastopol. A gentle
man who was on the staff of an English
G :neral, and who witnessed the charge,
gives the Dispatch this description of it:
“On Oct. 25, 1854, our eyes turned to the
heights of Balaklava, on the possession of
which depended the very existence of the
allied forces. On that day the Russians
made a desperate attack on our lines, to
be as desperately repulsed. Word was
sent to headquarters that the enemy, un
der cover of a heavy fire from the forts,
uail left Sebastopol in force and was mass
ing himself so as to threaten the salety of
the heights. I was at once sent with’ an
order for the cavalry and horse artillery
to move and be ready to assume the offen
sive. They had not to wait long. The
lurkish lines were swept as by a whirl
wind, and with our Mohammedan allies
the word was sanve quipeut. Ttffheavv
cavalry on the right and the light brigade
on the left were ad vancod, with the artil
lery in the centre playing a game at long
bowls. Meanwhile a Russian battery was
ostentatiously moved forward, whose
well-serv* and guns promised to be embar-
, rassing.
“Lord Raglan, who did not know the
full strength of the foe, saw that this ob
stacle must be removed; but whether or
not he also foresaw the necessity of first
looking before the leap was taken must
be forever a mystery. The commanders
of the cavalry brigades, Lords Lucan end
Cardigan, brothers-in-law, between whom
no love was lost, were waiting the word
to engage, Lord Lucan being the senior
officer. To them sped Capt. Nolan, a dash
ing hussar. Saluting the General, he said
he bore an order—unwritten—from Lord
Raglan that the battery must be silenced
and the gun 9 captured. Lord Lucan, a
man so cautious as to have earned the
nickname ‘Lord Look-on,’ fearing to ex
pose his small force to any ambushed dan
gers, asked tor more definite orders. AA’itn
a slightly contemptuous turn of his hand
some lip, the aid-de-camp, pointed in the
direction of the battery and said:
“ ‘Y’ou see your enemy, my lord.’
“Even the Earl of Cardigan, impetuous
as he was, generally speaking, looked at
his commander in doubt as to the words.
But, owing to the unhappy enmity exist
ing between them, neither would speak
his thoughts, and once more Nolan, impa
tiently waving his sword, which he had
fiercely drawn from its scabbard, and
pointing it to the artillery, cried: 'Take
the guns; these are your orders!’
“The crisis has arrived. No recourse is
left but to do as he bids. A cold nod ol
assent from Lord Lucan. A profound bow
follows from Lord Cardigan. ‘Light Di
vision, forward, charge!’ breaks from his
lips. An echoing cheer is the reply irom
607 throats, as with clang of scabbard and
ratlie of bridle and bit, and the braving
of the trumpet, and the ringing cheer of
the ‘Heavies,’ the Fourth and Thirteenth
Lights, the Eighth and Eleventh Hussars,
the latter Lord Cardigan’s own corps,
conspicuous in their cherry-colored trou
sers, and the Seventh Lancers, with ranks
closed up and squadrons dressed as evenly
as if at a march past, trot forward down
the slight declivity. At their head ride
the gallant Nolan and the dauntless Car
digan-even iu this supreme moment with
a reckless laugh upon his face, as he ar
gues some point of war with his brother
hussar.
-The unmasked batteries are alreadv
belching forth shot and shell. The trot
breaks into a gallop, the gallop into a fu
rious, headlong charge. Already Nolau
has lallen, cut down bv grapeshot, the
secret of the fatal day ’ dying with him.
The serried rank., show frequent gaps as
saddle after saddle is emptied. ‘Close
up! Close up! Charge!’ is the unceasing
cry, and in a shorter time than it takes to
tell the opening ranks of the foe disclosed
to the doomed, but indomitable few, can
nou to right of them, canuon to left of
them, cannon in front of them—and now
cannon behind them. On through the
broken Russian line pressed the noble
army of martyrs, their orifiamme, their
brave leader’s flashing sabre their sup
port. ,
“Witji a wild cheer and a wilder leap,
-t!IS cherry-clad heroes fly over the guns
as lightly as they would over a five-barred
gate on the hunting field, sabring the gun
ners as they leap. "A beardless boy. not
yet 17, holds fast to the colors he has
SWorn 10 carry to death or victory and
falls with the cry ‘My mother will hear ot
this!’ on his dying lips, still grasping that
banner in his hand.
“Far away, clear in front, with his aide
de-camp and a few choice spirits on his
right hapd and OU his left—none ahead of
ragitig like a lion, fights, as with a
forlorn hope, the leader and commander
of the Light Brigade. He bears a charmed
life and his brawny arm is endowed with
a power of slaughter that grows mightier
every moment from the meat that it"feeds
on. Further and further he dashes on,
cleaving his way with his blood-stained
sword till he reaches the last of the guns.
“Here, when he sees the end is not yet,
but that rank upon rank of cavalry and
infantry, with heavy artillery in the rear,
stretches out back to the city’s utmost
bastion, he recognizes how useless it will
be further to tempt the fates and figLt one
agafnst a thousand. Coolly and calmly,
as if in Hyde Park, he takes in the situa
tion at a glance and gives the word to the
trumpeter to sound first the‘assembly,’
then the ‘retreat.’ A bullet crashes
through the boy’s hand as he raises his
trumpet to his mouth, but, Stoic-like, he
makes no sign. Clear rings out the sum
mons. A dozen only answer thecall. Not
one. save Lord Cardigan, but is wounded
more or less severely, and his clothing
shows where lance or sabre or ball had
plowed their way over bis unscatned
flesh. Right about the little band turn3,
leaving the boy trumpeter dead on the
ground behind them.
“The enemy, paralyzed by the shock of
the charge, and fancying that the whole
British army supports "the handful of
braves, pauses in his murderous work to
cheer the 10-8 survivors who returned
9lowly and sadly to the place from which
they came, having, from a militarv stand
point, achieved nothing, yet covered with
a deathless, fadeless wreath of glorv. ‘lt
was magnificent,’ said Gen. Bosquet, ‘but
it was not war,’ ’>
PRETTY PHILADELPHIA GIRLS.
Why Their Cheeks Are so Rosy and Why
They Are eo Very Charming.
Philadelphia Letter'.
The beautiful Philadelphia women,
from 4 to 5 o’clock each afternoon, can be
seen in vast numbers on the popular
thoroughfare—Chestnut street. Tne com
plexion of the women here—l speak of
those under 30—is as soft, clear and ros
eate as a child's. An intelligent physi
cian here, conversing with me on the
subject, said the reason that Philadelphia
women were handsomer than the women
of other cities was from the fact that they
did less lacing.
Lacing, he said, compresses -the liver,
so that its functions are deranged and the
bile, instead of legitimately aiding diges
tion as it should, is thrown into the
venous circulation, producing the sallow
complexion so common among our Amer
ican women. The female gymnasts and
equestriennes are noted for their fine,
clear complexion, which is attributable
to the fact that their profession precludes
lacing. Instead of curing sallowness by
removing the cause, viz., skin-fitting cor
sets, they use sugar of lead cosmetics, an
' ingredient in nearly every face powder,
1 and in a few years the skin has been fler
, manently converted to a color resembling
1 sole-leather.
Again, the women here do more walk
, ing than they do in almost any other city
! on the continent. In this they resemble
1 the English women, who are’ noted the
world over for their beautiful complexion.
Not only this, but the exercise of walking
rounds the form, and we justly claim that
ter contour of face, complexion and figure
our women are unexcelled.

Col. Bumgardner attended a wed
ding about six miles from Atlanta one
day last week, and, as usual, caught on
; early to the little brown jug. By the time
supper was announced he was in his best
humor and in fine appetite. He got the
first seat at the table and began to help
himself at once, while the others decor
ously waited. The parson eyed Bum's
assault upon the victuals with ire and
sternly remarked: “Brother Bumzardner,
i on these occasions we usually say a few
words before eating.” Bum looked up
blandly and replied: “All right, parson;
say whatever you dang please—you can't
turn my stomach.” There was an explo
sion of laughter that rattled the dishes,
and the blessing was unceremoniously
| cut out of the programme.

Return if tlie Froiinent CitizeD.
From the Detroit Free Frees.
HE was supposed to be worth a $lOO,OOO,
and he Mattered himself that when he
slept an hour later than usual in the morning
all the business of the citr waited for him to
get out of bed. When a letter arrived a few
• lays ago demanding his presence in theNortb
for three or four weeks he hesitated to go.
He knew just how broken up the city would
be, and he had his feurs that nothing would
be done in the paving line, and that all build
ing would at once stop dead still.
However, the prominent citizen at length
decided to go, anu he got off quietly. Nobody
rushed out to stop him and beg him to put off
his journey, and as far as he has since learned
tlie’Counril has passed no resolutions of re
gret. Ho returned the other evening ami
great was his surprise to tind the city still
here. It hadn’t straved or been stolen. The
Citv Hall hadn’t tumbled down, and he
couldn’t find grass growing in any of the
business streets. This was bad enough, but
as he walked up street he met a friend who
called out:
“Hello! Blank, going away?”
“No, sir; I have just returned from a
month's trip to the North.”
“Indeed! Why, I hadn't even missed you.”
A few steps further on he encountered an
other, who was still more surprised to hear
that he had been absent, and added;
“And the papers didn't even mention the
fact!”
The prominent citizen reached home to find
everything running as smoothly and satisfac
torily as when he left. It was" a great shock
to him. but the climax came when he was
called to the door to see an humble-looking
man. who said:
“You know I was talking with you three or
four days ago about trimming up your trees,
and I called to say it would be a'job worth
about $l.”
The prominent citizen had returned. What
of it?
WHY, HE WAS A PROMINENT GOOSE.
