THE BAR ASSOCIATION
1
T$ey met Yesterday, at 3 p. m. to ^Express Their Regret at the Wi Death of the Late Judge
Patterson.
A meeting of the Bar Association took place yesterday afternoon at three o'clock. J. M. Allen presided as chairman. Mr. Allen opened the meeting by delivering an eloquent eulogy on the deceased, dur ing which he said: "I have known Judge Patterson for the past twenty-five years, and have always found in him sterling in tegrity, and those qualities of the heart and head which constitute true man-' hood."
The following is the memoriam offered by the Bar meeting yesterday: MEMORIAM.
In the ordinary matters of life we meet, day after day, and mingle with each other with scarcely a thought of the solemn possiblities of the future and whatever plans or designs we may have, cither social or practical, extend but a small space before us and soon become realized or fail, only to.be succeeded by others of similar import. And so, however import ant our affairs may for the time become, their early settlement and the succession of new hopes and duties have a tendency to shut out from thought the probability that any otherhuman means will itftsrve*e in their disposal. But there are times when we are suddenly awakend from this condition ef confidence and repose, and stand abashed and helpless at the interposition of the inevitable edict of death. With an effect like this, we have learned, with great sor row, of the disease of Hen. Chambers Y. Patterson, which occurred in this city on the morning of the 17th of January, 1881. This dispensation we have special reason to feel as profoundly as any portion of our community or the general public possibly can, in view of the fact that for seventeen years he has presided over our labors as Judge of the conrts of our district and circuit. During all this time he gave his most diligent and undivided attention to the discharge of his judicial duties, and gained the well earned reputation of a prudent, careful, iust and learned Judge. In* one brancn of his jurisdiction the interests of the widow and orphan were confided to his care, and especially received his constant and watchful attention.
In the midst of his labors and his usefullness he has been removed from among .us his chair is vacant before us, and the placcs that knew him once shall know him no more. Though his memory shall always dwell with us, yet we deem it proper that our sorrow and our sympathy be made atill more enduring by transcription among the records of his long and successful judicial career therefore,
Resolved, That in the death of Judge Patterson the judiciary and bar of our county and State have lost an eminent jurist whose sound judgment, great legal attainments, clear and active intellect and quick moral perceptions peculiarly fitted him to discharge the important duties of the high position he has so signally and so faithfully filled. 2. That we offer his afflicted family and friends our earnest and profound sym path v. 3. 'That, as a last token of respect for lr depart in a body. 4. That a suitable committee be pointee $o present this memorial tc courts of this circuit and couqty and

He was followed by the Hon. Daniel Voorhees who said: "1 have come from my post of public duty, at Washington, and when I shall have returned, I will have traveled a distance of 1600 miles. 1 do this, to testify my respect forjudge Patterson. He was a man of robust temper, and few men exercised a greater local influence than him. His early boyhood was spent at Rockville. and no man was more thoroughly identified with the Wabash Valley.
Senator Voorhees spoke for some time, and his remarks were greatly appreciated. Mr. Harvey D. Scott also spoke. He said "Jttdfae Patterson had one extraordinary quality- He fend no assamptkm of superiority. He always sympathized with the weak. He had more than that ootamon integrity which it Is no honor to have but a disgrace to he with cat"
Hon. TbwTN, Rice, of RockriUe, offered a feeling tribate to the deceased. H. D. Scott made a isotion to meet at the Terre Haute Home at ten o'clock. The motion was carried, aad the meeting

Sight-Seeing In a Chinese Town. ON arriving at the wall of the city, which was built of the customary material, mud mixed with lime, which finally forms a sort of concrete, we entered the gates, and found the usual narrow streets peculiar to every Chinese city.
The shops on both sides were numerous, and from their thriving appearance apparently did a good business. Chinese ware, dress goods, boots, foreign cloth, grain, millet, buckwheat, sesamum seed, edible roots, carrots, turnips, radishes, water lily roots, fruit and walnuts were for sale in the market. We entered some of the shops where Amerioan and English goods were on sale, and asked to see the proprietor. We questioned him as to the demand for articles of foreign manufacture. He said that he bought the yangpoo (foreign oloth) at Hankow, from a Chinese Hong, and it cost him, with freight, four tads, or $6.50 per piece, the cost at Hankow being $3.20 per piece. He complained bitterly of the exactions that the officialslaid upon th6se goods at the various tax-stations on the Han River. The high price thus placed them beyond the reach of any but the rich. The oountry people liked the American drilling best, as it was strong and did not contain any rice-water, like the English article. The junk people used it for sails. We saw several pieces of Wamsutta and other Eastern goods in the shops. Matches of German and Swedish make were also sold for forty cash (four cents) a box of 100. The Chinese in the country districts, when buying a box of matches, invariably count every match before paying^ for the article. Brass buttons, lamp wicks, a few penknives, common ana toilet soap, and several photographs of Paris were also in the shop. A large but very civil crowd gathered around us and followed us wherever we went. No indignities were offered to us except from the juvenile population, who, as usual, were eager to annoy the foreigner. The elders, who were as anxious to see us as the children, often rebuked them, but without effect. One of our soldiers, a Hunan man, at last caught a boy who was about to throw some mud at us, and twisting the urchin's tall around his arm gave him a sound thrashing, and warned him that if he was not quiet the Taotai would cut off his head.
Walking round the streets of a small city in China one sees a number of agri cultural people, who come to town to sell their produoe and buy articles required for household use. The various trades were represented in the small shops. Blacksmiths, coppersmiths and tinsmiths were working in such po«itions as were likely to attract customers. The iron usod is the product of the adjoining provinces of Szechuen and Hunan^m small bars about eighteen inches in length. The steel is chiefly of native origin, and is said to be equal to Swedish. The copper used for making kettles, pots ana pans is also a Sjiechuen and Yunnan product. Immense deposits of the metal exist ir the Yunnan province, and the annan tribute to Peking from Yunnan consists entirely of copper slabs, while the other provinces pay in either silver or grain- The tin plates are of English manufacture, but a large quantity of old kerosene cans are used up by these workers in tin. Cosmetics a id other toilet articles are exhibited for the benefit of the fair sex. Book stores abound, as they do in every little village, and contain writing materials,, pens from Canton, Soochow and Hankow, ink from Nganwhei (the best in the Empire). Fortune-tollers and quack dentists have their stalls in the streets.
Tea shops, which fill the places of restaurants, are to be seen in every block. They are peculiar in one respect—disputes of all kinds are settled over a cup of tea. Bargains are clinched, houses are bought and women and children transferred in the tea shop. At intervals banks may be seen which a stranger might mistake for ordinary dwellings. Inside is a dirty little room, with a counter running twenty feet into the rear a number of bookkeepers, the click of balls on die abacus board and hash! we surely hear the chink of '•dollars in the back apartment. This iit a Chinese bank, owned by Shansi men, whose financial operations extend all over the empire. Bank notes from 100 to 1,000 copper task are In vogue, issued by those enterprising men. The &ov«r&or oi the vwrtoos provinces requiring a& advance invariably applies to thew bankers, who dare not refuse the demand, as otherwise they would b« subject to the rapacious extortions of the Mar hangers-on et the maad* rrns.—Cbr.
