“1 stayed in San Francisco about a fort
night and tny law shingle brought me only
one case. 1 then started up the Sacra
mento to a place called ‘Vernon’; hut Ver
non was under water and 1 stayed on the
Iwint, resolved to cast mv fortunes with the
passengers. Most of them scrambled off
Ti j the boat at Nyc’s Hunch, and I with them,
1 where some hundreds were already living
^ ' in tenta on the hank. Three days after
landing the citizens held a meeting to or
ganize a government. There were two
candidates for tiie chief office of Alcade,
and though my competitor, who had been
in town six duvs, disparaged me as a new
comer, I was elected. Tiie office was legis
lative, judicial and executive. I hud to
Mas the law, settle qnarrrl«*nnd puilall

stitute flogging at the post, and Gfty la-lies
were generally administered for stealing."
“Tiie office of alcade was superior to
that of mayor?” I asked.
“Yea; it is difficult to say where my au
thority began or ended. 1 went to Sacra
mento anil was sworn in, and I exercised
the functions of mayor, town supervisor
amljustice of the peace. Indeed the Colo
nel of a regiment quartered near told me
to call on him if 1 needed any help. I
luid tho wharves reconstructed amt the
street* fixed anil saw that justice was done
between individuals. There was no lynch-
ings or turbulence while I was alcsde, and
the town was as orderly as a New England
village.”
1 asked about his being subsequently at
tacked by Judge Turner.
“Turner was a brutal, tyrannical, drun
ken and ferocious man,” said Judge Field;
“his attacks were as utterly causeless at
those of a wild beast, and he had to be
beaten off in the same way. In order to
preserve my life and liberty 1 was coni-
I idled to arm myself and send him word
that if he assaulted me I should kill him.
I/Miking hank upon it now, I do not see
how I could have acted otherwise.”
Judge Field’s success in running that
same year (or the Legislature, and his
great service in shnping the constitution
and laws of the new State and.in defining
them afterwards, are so well knuwn that l
did not question him about them.
Before taking my leave 1 asked Mr.
David Dudley Field if he was looking for
any more triumphs in the matter that had
been the chief interest of his life.
“You mean the codes," he said. “Yes,
I ex|H<ct a triumph this winter in the
adoption of my civil code at Albany. I
had a hearing last week before, the com
mittee, and lliave reason to believe it will
at last lie adopted after all the puerile and
ody rolling over and over on his Ups.
“Do you speak Italian?” I inquired.
“Not habitually,” he said, with a smile.
“But when 1 was generously given a re
ception by the lawyers and statvsmen of
Koine f made a little speech to them in
their own tongue -shorn of its music to
some extent, F fear. It seems to me a man
who speaks at all should speak in the lsin-
;{uage of the country. When I am toasted

now.”
“Let’s hear how vonr speech sound-.
Dudley,” said Cyrus Field, rising and
walking to the bookcase. “Where is that
volume, Stephen?”
The judge took a volume of the jurist’s
speeches from a shelf and handed it to tiie
author. He flipped the leaves with his
thumb, found tile speech delivered at the
Homan banquet and read it in reverberant
Italian, evidently enjoying the babbling
flow of the vowel-freighted current. “1
nm going to buckle right down to tl
study of Kussian when I get the codi
through,” he added, with a smile. “Hith
erto I have not had .time.”*
The next afternoon Judge Field gave :i
card reception to ‘Dudley,” as they call
him, and he stood for hours unfilnchine
and received the thousand or two who
poured through the spacious drawing
rooms of the building which, during the
war, was known as the old capitnl prison.

U« tilings an l’ril Woman Into Ills Own
Home and Attempts to Murder lit* Wife.
From thc Lexington Echo.
Last wrt-k we chronicled the desertion
by n man named Grav, of his wife and
children In (iooeepond district nnd his
elopement with another woman. He had
not left his wife, hut had brought a woman
to the house of his fathcr-in-Iaw where he
was living, and, liy threats of violence,
forced hi* family to let her remain there
unmolested, makingof his wife and chil
dren servant* for her. Once or twice the
wife had raised some objection to thc way
they were living and each time the brute
hau threatened her with death if she r ised
any further objections, or made any efforts
towaril stopping him in hia crimes. Last
week, some time, it seemed that he had
become enraged at his wife for some treat
ment to his paramour, and enticing her
sway from thc house, made an attempt to
put an end to livr life by attempting to
shoot her with a shot gun. HU two sons,
aged about twelve and fourteen, suspected
foul play, and had followed their mother,
and arrived upon the scene just in time to
prevent the murder. They then reported
what had taken place to some of thc
noijfbhors, one of them, Mr. Mathews, at
which Gray was greatly enraged and
against whom nc made fearful threats.
This brought ahout the peace warrant.

THE CROWN PRINCE.
Professor Kuhsmiaul, of Strausburg, was
telegraphed for on the suggestion of Doc
tors Bergmenn and Krauss. Prof. Kussa-
mnul, who is recognized as an expert in
lung diseases arrived to-night and immedi
ately saw thc Cro\rn Prince, but nothing of
nn ofiirial character was allowed to be made
known. Private advices, however, state
that the Crown Prince’s bronchial trouble
appears to be complicated with a lung dis
order, partly arising from the puss secre
tions in the bronchia. which
1ms affected tiie lunga. The official
opinion in Berlin has become utterly
despairing. Xo weight is attached to the
bulletins issued by thc doctors in the face
of known facta. Advices received at the
palace do not conceal the critical *t*U of the
Crown Prince. Professor Gcrhardt has not
gone to San Remo. He takes a discouraging
view of the Crown Prince’s condition. He
is convinced that the malady is running its
course. Other medical experts concur in
the belief that a fatal termination is inevita
ble within three months, and probably much
aooner. The feeling in Germany la growing
strong that Prince William ought to display
greater interest in his father’s state. Court
circles know that the Prince’s anxiety is in
tense, but that he has been prevented from
going to San Remo by state exigencies.
