Melville, the Jeannette "hero," is being raked fore and aft by the press. Having spent less than four years out of fourteen at home with his children, he is now trying to take them from the mother who has had their care almost exclusively.

The editor of "The Drawer" in Harper's Magazine is dead. Something funny, probably, got into Ills department by mistake, and the shock was too great for him.—[Cincinnati Enquirer.

If the true cause is not here set forth at is at leasl a good assumption. Perhaps "The Drawer," however, is a good institution—for the magazine. Cheap wit is relished by many persons. A New York paper whose humorous column is of high order, occasionally Alls it with mother-in-law jokes, fitting stove pipe stories, and boarding liouse exaggerations, and'heads the column "For Ten Cent Men." The man who enjoys this stuff hasn't sense enough to see the hit in the heading.

Howard, the removed appraiser at New York, has assumed the role of martyr, and is talking about being removed because he was a friend of Hayes and Garfield, and puts much stress on civil service rules, violated in ]iia removal. Howard's appointment was by Hayes as a reward for writing ii campaign life of that president, a violation of Mr. Howard's civil service lules, which evidently is overlooked. JKuch weak advocates of civil service leform as Howard and Henry, who prattle about being removed because they were friends of Garfield do the cause of reform more harm than good, *nd violence to Garfield's memory, fiuch fellows disgust the majority of people who want real reform and in their disgust they are apt to tolerate 1 he old class of stalwarts rather than join with these baby politicians.

Next to a contested election case the question of the future in a stock jobbing point of view presents the largest Jleld of plausible arguments on both tides. Mr. James Keene in a three column preconcerted, and therefore advised, interview with Gatli tells •why we are now on the eve of a genejal depreciation of values. It is always enlightening to read the preface cf a book both before and after reading. Mr. Keene says in the beginning of the talk that he was

"bull" un

til recently when he became a "bear" and it is reasonable to believe that Mr. Keene desires a skrinkage in values fven though it acted very disastrously to the general good. The upshot of Mr. Keene's argument, is that during the years of prosperity since 1S77 we have rushed too far and that everything is marked up too high. Men like Keene lose all sense of the wholetome moral rules that should govern commercial lifo, and when they talk to the public they arc precluded the fair consideration their views would otherwise command.

THE SUPREME COURT.

The necessity of doing something for the relief of the Supreme court of the 1Tnited States so as to enable it to answer the purposes of its creation has Veen quite generally recognized among lawyers for a longtime. The vast increase in its business since its organisation, imposes duties on its members which cannot be discharged by them or any body of men in their places. Very little has been done since the organization of the court to enable it to meet the increased demand on it, and very little can be done under theconstiution with the organization of the court itself. The plan, which has been proposed, of dividing it into sections, is objectionable because it violates the

«V-4t.^-»k-d_vS!-S!..

constitutiohal provision which vests the supreme judicial power in

one

preme court, and the enlargement of the court by additional justices does not much facilitate the transaction of business where the custom is to give to every case the consideration of the entire bench. The best and most feasible plan is the one which has been proposed by Senator David Davis. Without dealing directly with the Supreme court itself, his bill works the needed relief of it by the establishment of an Appellate court in every circuit, to be composed of the associate justice who is assigned to the circuit, the present circuit judge and two additional circuit judges, who are to be appointed under the bill, and two of the district judges, who are to be designated by the Appellate court at each term thereof. Any four of these judges will constitute a quorum, and the appellate court, as so organized, will exercise an appel late jurisdiction over the final judgments and decrees of the circuit and district courts within the circuit where the amount in controversy exceeds $500, or where an appeal or writ of error now lies from their judgments and decrees, or where the circuit or district judge certifies that the adjudication involves a question of general importance. Its decisions on questions of fact are final and conclusive, and appeals from its decisions to the Supreme court will lie only in those cases where the amount in controversy exceeds the sum of $10,000, or the Appellate court certifies that there is a legal question of sufficient importance to require a final decision by the court ot last resort, In this way most of the cases which go to

Washington for a final decision would be decided in the circuit where they arise, and by judges who belong to it and many cases that are not now ap pealed on account of the difficulties which are in the way of conducting the appeal and getting a prompt decision on it in the Supreme court would be taken to the Appellate court. The opportunities for obtaining prompt and correct disposition of cases would be greatly enhanced the Supreme court which is already three years behind its doeket in the disposition of the cases in it, would be relieved of so much of its burden as it is unable to carry while the Circuit courts, which are also so much over-burdened that in most circuits a large part of their work is done by the district judges, would be enabled to transact their own business, and the district judges could devote their whole time to the work of their own courts. Instead of being a bill for the relief of the Supreme court, the bill of Judge Davis is for the relief of all the federal courts, and the litigants in them, and its passage would promote the efficiency of every one of these courts, and increase their value to the people. It would popularite them by bringing the final determination of many cases nearer the people among whom the controversies arise, and by increasing the facilities for attending to business in them.

It has already passed the senate and now awaits the action of the house. Among the many important measures that are presented for the consideration of that body there is none of greater importance than this bill of Judge Davis. We hope that it will become a law before the end of this session, and it is sure to become a law if the house has a proper regard for the public necessity.

Military Experience.

Courier-Journal. It may be right that Sheridan should succeed Sherman, but Sheridan's military experience is much less than that of the old General. Sherman had been a married man along time at the date of Sheridan's wedding.

Mr. Edmunds then tried to control himself sufficiently to speak again. He said at length, but in tones unlike those with which he usually speaks: "It was well known I thought to be in the senate—" Here he broke down completely and fell back into his seat in tears.

Every senator knew that the recollection of the long sickness and death of his daughter, which caused his absence last session, had mastered him. Several senators moved that the senate adjourn, but Mr. Hoar began to say that he intended no disrespect, when Mr. Edmunds abruptly arose and quitted the senate. He went at once to the room that the judiciary commit tee occupied, and there was found by sympathizing friends who refrain from speaking of what they saw, but say that if ever sympathy was needed it was then. The senate at once adjourned. It was a scene, Senator An thony said, the like of which he never saw in the senate. Strong men have been affected there, he said, but a strong man like Edmunds was never smitten so as to be unnerved in the presence of fellow senators before, Mr. Hoar undertook to make apologies later in the evening.

THE DEADLY HIP-POCKET.

Plain Words as to a Cowardly Habit That Tends to Foster Crime. Mobile Register.

It must be admitted that with the growth of this country and with its advancement in civilization crime should have decreased. It cannot be truth fully said that this is the case. With out seeking other causes it can be asserted without fear of contradiction, that one reason fer this is the criminal habit of carrying concealed weapons. We use the word "criminal" advisedly, for whatever is contrary to law is criminal. We do not consider it the mark of a brave man to carry concealed weapons, but rather the contrary. Of course there are circumstances in whieh carrying them is justifiable, but for a man to put on a pistol in the morning as regularly as he puts on his coat, does no credit to him as a citizen nor as a man.

Especially is this a dangerous habit in the young. Many of them think that it* is manly. Poor fools. True manhood consists in courage of soul, in daring to do right, in abhorring bullying braggadocio and rowdyism. Let a thin-skinned youth,with a violent temper and great Idea of his own importance and honor—heaven save the mark—stick a pistol habitually in his ocket, and he is making of himself a langerous element in a community.

A Long, a Last, a Sad Farewell. Honolulu Saturday Press. Last Saturday evening twenty-nine lepers were sent from the branch leper hospital to Molokai by the steamer Mokolii.

A SCENE. ..

The Like of Which Was Never Witness. ed In the United States Senate. Washington Special.

The presidential succession bill was under debate, and Senator Hoar,of Massachusetts, had been supporting it. Senator Edmunds of Vermont, was opposed to it. Hoar was very nervous while Edmunds was speaking. He approached the senator and gesticulated violently, seemingly denying Edmund's argument. He made copious notes of Edmunds' speech, and replied as soon as Edmunds sat down. He began by rebuking Edmunds for coming in at this late day and making a motion that would kill the bill if adopted. He referred to the fact that the committee had framed the bill while Edmunds was away last summer, and intimated that it was trifling with the senate^ for a senator who was away then to come now and try to defeat the action of a committee that had labored so hard as had the one which reported this bill. The senators were astonished at, this line of attack, it was not so angrily delivered as his attack on Senator Butler some days ago, for Hoar kept his temper, but it was intended to be a rebuke.

When Hoar finished Edmunds rose. It was noticed that he did not begin to speak for a moment or two. At length he. said: "Mr. President, I wish first to reply to the senator's personal allusion. The circumstances attending my absence"—here he stopped he was un manned and could not speak.

Mr. Hoar shouted from his seat, "I meant no personal rebuke to the sena tor."

A large number of people were gathered at the hospital to see their friends, and later, at 5 o'clock, when the lepers were taken to the steamer, they assembled on the shore to bid the unfortunates^ a last farewell. There was considerable wailing by those on Bhore and the parting scene was an affecting one.

11 A BOLD ROBBERY.

THE TERKE fii.UTE. EXPRESS. WEDNESDAY MORNING, JAWARY 10,1883.

Worth From si

A Satchel Containing 9100,0 of Jewelry and Money Stole Train. Philadelphia Special.'

The daring robbery of wb «h Capt. Herbert F. Gye, of the Roy .l navy, and Mapleson's son-in-law were the victims, is the sensation of the hour. Mapleson tried hard to suppress the facts, but failed. It appears that 10:30 o'clock last night Capt. Gye took a seat in the forward car of the New York express, having with him a satchel containing a portion of the receipts of the operatic performances of the week, a checn for $4,400 payable to Patti for two concerts, the magnificent pair of solitaire ear-rings presented to Gye's sister-in-law, Mme. Albani, by the late Czar Alexander, and other jewelry, the total contents of the satchel amounting to over $100,000. AfteT the train left the station, Gye went a few seats back and entered into conversation with a lady, a stranger in the meantime taking his vacant seat alongside the satchel. When the train reached Germantown Junction, hardly a miie from the main depot, the stranger disappeared, likewise the satchel. Gye discovered his loss a few minutes later. The train was stopped and he hurried back to the city ana apprised Colonel Mapleson of the facte. Gye's visit to New York was for the purpose of meeting Mme. Albani, who arrived from Europe on Tuesday.

DELIBERATE DEATH.

A Husband and Wife Inn Fit of Despondency Commit Suicide. DETROIT, Mich., Jan. 8.—A double suicide was committed here Saturday night and Sunday, evidently with the coolest premeditation. A man named J. Edward Monck and wife were the parties to the shocking transaction. He had been connected with the custom department at Chatham, Ont., but was discharged a few weeks since and came with his wife to this city where they took board at the Franklin House. Saturday evening their month-old child was given into the temporary charge of a lady connected with the hotel to take care of. Monck then locked his wife into her room and went away. The lady finally getting tired of her charge, sought about midnight to return the child to its mother, but was unable to get into her room. Entrance was finally secured by a pass key, when Mrs. Monck was found dead on the bed with every evidence that she had died from morphine administered by her own hand or that of her husband. The same evening Monck went to the Brunswick house, registered under an nssumed name, and, telling the clerk he would not want breakfast, went to the room assigned him. Here he was found yesterday afternoon in an unconscious condition from the effects of a dose of morphine and died later in the evening, all efforts to restore him to consciousness proving unavailing. Both parties were under thirty, and haVfV ivoranto- nnrl at Chatham. It is supposed that despondency over the discharge from his position and the failure of all efforts at restoration drove the pair to the commission of the crime.

Next to nothing is known of their previous history or any other cause to *which the shocking event can be at tributed. The relatives have already taken the bodies back to Chatham.

Baron Blanc's Resignation. ROME, Jan. 8.—The resignation of Baron Blanc, secretary general of foreign afl'airs, and formerly Italian ambassador to Washington, was finally accepted, owing to a divergence of opinion on Egyptian affairs. The baron tendered his resignation June last. He considered the preponderance of England in Egypt the best solution in the interests of peace to Italy.

Love for the Fatherland. BERLIN, Jan. 8.—The Frankfort Ga zette, in acknowledging the receipt of 33,000 marks received in Frankfort from New York for the benefit of the Rhineland sufferers by floods, says "These gifts furnish fresh and happy proof that the Germans who have found a new home in America are not lost.to old Fatherland, but have an ever warm and active sympathy in Germany's fortunes, and also in her mishaps."

Gambetta's Coffin.

PARIS, Jan. 8.—The coffin containing the remains of Gambetta was placed in a vault at Pere La Chaise, belonging to the municipility of Paris A bag of earth from Lorrane was sent from Metz to be placed upon it, The bag was embroidered with the words: "Latnaringia, raemorvialata, non dornita."

Chili, Peru, Bolivia.

LIMA, Jan. 8.—It is proposed the three belligerent powers name commissioners without mediation by any foreign power to treat for peace on a basis of cession of Tarapala to Chili, and Arilca and Talna either directly from Peru to Bolivia or as neutral and independent territory under the pro tectorate of Peru, Chili and Bolivia.

Foreign Notes.

LONDON, Jan. 8.—William Miller & Sons, Turkey-red dyers, have failed. Liabilities, £120,000.

Gladstone's medical advisers report him to be suffering from overwork, and that he needs rest. Gladstone has abandoned the proposed visit to Midlothian.

ROME, Jan. 8.—Italy has lately given marked proof of fidelity to the understanding with Austria and Germany. The death of Gambetta makes it easier for Italy to maintain this fidelity, as he held in his own hand all the wires connecting the French and Italian radicals, and could have frustrated any active, accord between Italy and Austria.

TUNIS, Jan. 8.—The remains of John Howard Payne left here on Saturday for Marseilles, en route for the United States.

LONDON, Jan. 8.—A Berlin dispatch says: Germany will ignore the demonstration at Gambetta's funeral and avoid everything likely to excite French public opinion.

MARSEILLES, Jan. 8.—During the night a party of Italians placarded the Italian consulate as follows: "Death to the emperor of Austria we will avenge Overdank."

MADRID, Jan. 8.—It is stated that Sagostra has been entrusted with the formation of anew cabinet, which will be constructed this afternoon. The preaent ministers of foreign affairs, of

the interior and of war will be likely to remain in office. GENEVA, Jan. 8.—The absconding manager of the Interlaken Comptor, D'Escompte, arrested at Alexandria, threw himself overboard between Alexandria and Trieste.

LONDON, Jan. 8.—British imports increased £2,100,000 compared with December, 1881, while exports show a decrease compared with 1881 of £2,000,000.

DUBLIN, Jan. 8.—David Harrell, resident magistrate and member of the late constabulary commission, has been appointed to succeed Captain Talbot as chief commissioner of the Dublin police.

A DEVOTED BRIDEGROOM.

And How His Bride Used Him as a FinCushion for Interrogation Points. R. J.Burdette in Burlington Hawkeye.

As we whirl out of Wellsville a bridal couple is on the train. The bridalest kind of a couple. They have been in the bridal business,- I should judge, about fifteen years. "WelL" she says at last, after trying to

look

over the

top of the jpaper and out of the window, "what is in the paper to-day And he says justwhat almost any wellseasoned bridegroom in America says in answer to the same question. "Oh, nothing." "Is the election over?'' "Um." "Who is elected?" "John Kelly." "I didn't know he was running for anything." "Aw, ye«. He's running for everything. "Well, is he president now?" "Um." "I don't believe it. What is he president of?" "Sammy Tilden." "Oh, pshaw! Who is president of the United States "Arthur." "Arthur who? Wasn't Mr. Hayes president last time?" "Nuck." "Who was, then?"' "Mrs. Hayes?" "You're awful smart. Who is governor of Pennsylvania "Col. Alexander McClure." "What is the weather probabilities "Dunno." "Does John Wanamaker—" "Great Scott, woman! Have I nothing else to do but read advertisements? There, now, take the paper. I'm going to sleep."

And the stricken bride merely said, "I think it's time," and without looking at him turned at once to the mourning department and widows' supplies column.

THE NEW-YORK TRIBUNE.

Sttronff, Clean, Enterprising

The Largest Circulation Among the Best People.

HeJoicirig with its readers in the better times which reign throughout the country, THE TRIBUNE finds itself at the beginning of a new business year enjoying its own fair share of the prevalent prosperity and prepared to make all its several editions thoroughly complete, entertaining and valuable. The first aim of THK TRIBUNE is to be the best and fore most newspaper in America. It has its own telegraph line to Washington, it uses the cables freely, and it scours the world for the news, printlnc all that is useful. It tells what is worth it in detail. The rest is put into bright short paragraphs. Its contents are fresh, choice, varied and thoroughly unobjectionable in every resp'ect. THE TRIBUNE has long enjoyed the largest circulation amont the best people. It intends to let no rivai usurp its place. THE TRIBUNE is the organ of no individual, of no faction or clique, and of no interest- adverse to the public good. It knows no service other than that of the people.

THE TRIBUNE believes the well-being of the country will be best preserved by keeping its Government In Republican hands. But it does not believe in Ring Rule, Bossism or Corruption in Oflice. It has done hard work, and taken great risks, in efforts to purify the Republican party. It expects to continue in that course, wherever or whenever this may seem needful—not doubting, that this is the true road to a worthy Republican success in 1884.

Every year THE TRIBUNE offers to subscribers a few premium books of marked and standard merit. The terms are usually so arranged that either the paper or the book is a gift to the subscriber.

A Splendid Work For Families. For 1883 THETRIBUNE offers a new premium. WOOD'S HOUSEHOLD PRACTICE OF MEDICINE, HYGIENE AND SURGERY, 2 vols., 819 and 942 pp., profusely illustrated, bound in cloth, and sold by agents for the invariable price of 810. It is written by eminent physicians of New York and Philadelphia, and published by the well-known standard medical book house of William Wood & Co. Every possible topic relating to the ^structure and functions of the human body is explained in this work with text and picture. The book teaches how to regain health when lost, and how to take care of it when regained. It explains what to do in emergencies. It will save many a human life and many an hour of suffering and anxiety. In any ordinary family it will pay itself in a month's time. The t"-""
