Extraordinary as it must at first have appeared to those who heard it, it had, iievcrtlioluss, Uio (jrTeet of bringing out the truth, and making manifest which of thu rival claimants wan the genuine one. Scattered about in thu various histories and records of men and nations are to bo found many other decisions of despotic kings and princes, unrestrained by the iron hand of statute law anil precedent, which seem equally quaint, and yet were equally effective in bringing about the desired result. Tito case m which Portia ap"jwarod as counsel is no fiction of ShakoMHtare's, though fihe herself may be. The main facU of the (singular bond and its attempted enforcement, and thu consequent trial and judgment, k related in "The Merchant of Venice," are fairly well-authuntieHted mattew of history. There is a story related of a judgment given by JVdro the Cruel of bpftin, imlnied with very much the Miue spirit as the one delivered in the court at Venice. A slater wns engaged in repairing the roof of a house, and wtine so engaged, through some fa step or other accident, lost his balm Mud rolled dawn theslantinggide of the roof, and fell over the edge into the street below.

Food was offered to it. and when the itoor animal hmisatistisd its hunger, it set oft .again for' its master s grave in tne forest oi Koinly. Next day the same ootid net was rejtoated, and for several days afterward. At last Ute curiosity of one of Uio servants who fed the dog was aroused as to the cause of its daily visits, and he resolved to follow it lie traced it to the forest, and saw it lie down on a stmt where the earth anearod to have been recently dis turbed. The dog, seeing the man approach, began to howl in a melancholy way, as though it were tryinV to inspire pity. The appearance of the ground and the dog's singular conduct led to a search being made, when the body of Motttdiilier was discovered. The dog sulmequently attached itself to the owner of the kitchen wlrre it had gone daily for food; and it was noticed that every time it mt Macaire, who moved in the same society as his new master, it Hew at him and would have worried him if it had not Ixhmi pulled away by those who were at hand. This behavior of tho dog caused some suspicion to grqw up against Macaire. Charles V., hearing of the matter, wished to inquire into the truth of it, and gave orders that Macaire and the dog should both come before him. Immediately the dog saw Mauaire it again flew at "him with its accustomed fury. The King severely questioned Macaire as to what he knew of Ifontdidier's doaUi, and exhorted him to Ull the truth. Macaire denied all knowl edge of St. Charles then decreed that Macaire and the dog should meet in single combat; themanbeingfurnished wiin a thick: Stan; ana a aarrel, wUu one end knocked out Iwinsr pro vided as a place of shelter for the dog. in case it should be hard pressed.

The Duke of Ossone is celebrated for the many quaint judgments and decis ions tieitvereu try htm white viceroy ot Naples, home of them seem actuated rather by a spirit of pleasantry than by UI1B 111 justice. One day the Duke had to choose galley-slave who should be liberated in honor of some great festival. He went en Imard one of the galleys, and stand ing m front of the urst bench of row ers, six in number, he began to ques tion them all as to what had brought thum there. J he ltrit one contented himself by calling bod as a witness to his innocence, and protesting that he was there for no reason at all. J he second said his punishment and disgrace were the work of his eii' mies, and not tho consequence of anv crime. The third protested that orying injustice had been done him by his having been sent there without any trial. The fourth said that the lord of his village had become enatu ored of his wife, and had caused hint to Ihj sent there out of the way. The fifth declared that he came from the hamlet of Somins, and that ho had been implicated in a robbery there, in which he reallv had had no part at sJI, and that all hts neighbors would bear witness to hw honesty. J he sixth, who had observed that all these ex ouses and justifications did not iH3em to please the Ihtke, took a different tone. Your Kxeellency," he said, " I come from Naples; and though the town is a largo one 1 do not believe it contains a-greater scouadrel than myself. Thev have bean merciful to me in only sending me to the galleys." The Viceroy looked at the man keenly for some moments, and then, turning to those in attendance npon him. said: Let this scoundrel be re leased from his chains; he will corrupt all those honest men." Then lie pre sented him with some money to prov do h mse f with clotiiinir, and be sought him to try to Hvo a better life in the future. Two days, afterwards, another prisoner was to lie liberated, and the Duke again proceeded to the galleys to select one. Information as to what had happened on the previous occasion had reached the slaves in the galley which the Duke boarded, and they believed that tho best way of getting their liberty was to blacken themselves as much as oossible. seeing that that course had succeeded so well before. Of all the three hundred in the galley there was not one who did not confess that he waa soiled with the vilest crimes, and had richly deserved wheel or gallows. "This is strange," said the uuki Ho see so many people with souls so black. Their punishment is the health of the state, which they would infect by their bad example. What crimes would they not commit if they were at liberty! 1 shall order them all to be still more vigorously guarded." 'Which he did. freeing only a monk, because he ingeniously saW that the chains of the gslley were less oppressive man those of tint monastery. His ptialshtnent was tho peaiUty of a double apostasy of which he had been guilty. Well." said the Duke.

The Duke of Oesoue heard of the old man's speociw, and sent to him one of his ofltecni forbidding him, on the part of the King, to leave the kingdom tin pain of forfeiting a fine of a thousand crowns. Morelli received

the prohibition with mockery, and jested about it with his friends. 'Io leave the kingdom was the last thing in Ute world he should think of doing. Hail be not said that nothing eould indutjo Him to travel out of sight of his beloved Naples? Soon, however, he began to feel a curiosity as to what could have prompted this command of Jini , ami ne oegan to lormeni himself by all sorts of vague guesses and reflections, till Uiematusr took Mich hold of his thoughts that it Uirew him into a nervous andmiserahlecondition, and even prevented him from sleeping.

He staid there only one night tind then returned to Naples. The Viceroy, ujkiii hearing of his return, distributed half Of the thousand crowns among Neapolitan hospitals, and returned the rest to Morelli, saying that this would suffice to leach the public boa fools are punished. Aliout the same time there was in Naples another rich merchant named Ferronelli, noted for his avarice. This man had had the misfortune to lose an embroidered purse containing fifty gold ducats and fifty Spanish pistoles, together with a ring worth a thousand crowns. This loss was a cause of great grief to Ferronelli; and he sent a crier through Naples proclaiming that any one Anding tho purse and restoring it and its contents to the owner, should be rewarded with the fifty pistoles. A poor old widow found it, and brought it to Ferronelli. As soon as het saw it and its rich contents, he felt tempted to cozen the old women out of the freater part of the promised reward, he temptation was too strong for the avaricious man to resist; and while he was counting over the pistoles, he dexterously pushed ont of sight thirty of tlietn, and said to the whIow: m1 promised the fifty pistoles Utat were in side the purse to the finder; but I see you have already taken thirty of thorn. Here are the other twenty."! The old woman protested that f-he had not taken a single coin; but it was in vain. Ferronelli insisted that she had already appropriated thirty of the pistoles, and must, therefore, "now lie contented with the balance of twenty. The old woman was obliged to yield, and went away with what she could get, whicli was indeed a large sum for tier. Talking matters over, however, with her friends afterwards, she was advised to lay the affair before the Viceroy and beseeoh hbj interference. The merchant was summoned liefore the Vice roy, and gave his account of the matter. The Duke, when he had heard Ferronelli's story, replied; "It is hot likely that the old woman would have ab stracted part of the money in the purse as, it she had been dishonestly inclined she might have taken the whole. Thte purse, therefore, can not be voitrs; for yosrs, you say, contained nity pistoles. an utts one uoes not. in my opinion you ottgni 10 tie pitnisiteu lor Having appropriated what does not belong to "My lonV'urged Ferronelli, "I recognize the purse perfectly. I know the embroidery; besides, there are mv ring and ray fifty ducate in it, 1 beseech your Excellency not to allow me to be deprived of what is rightfully mine." "You must be deceiving 'yourself. replied the Viceroy. "Doe not the mint turn ont all the ducats alike, and it is not possible Utat the jewelers should have made more than one ring like yours, and that there should be more than one purse embroidered in the same fashion as yours? The essential point is that your nurse contained fifty ptstoies, wntie utts one uoes not." Then addressing himself to the wid ow, ne said, "uo, mv good woman. take the purse; you are fairly entitled to it." One example more of this Viceroy's method of dispensing justice, and we will conclude. I here was in Naples a young Spanish exquisite, one Bertram bolus. One da) while he was lounging aliout in one of the busier parts of Ute city, a porter, carrying a bundle of wood on his shoulder, tried to make his way through the crowd. Solus was directly in his path, and the porter caned out to mm several limes: "Make way, please," without producing any effect. He then attempted to pass him as best lie could; hut, unfortunately, the wood came in contact with the young man s yelvet dress and gave it an ugly rent. Highly indignant he laid an information against the porter. and asked that he might lie PHnished. The Viceroy, having inquired "privately into the circumstances before goinx into court, told the porter that he was to pretend to be dumb, and was to reply, by signs only, to any thing that might lie said to him. When the Viceroy took Ins seat on the bench, Solus laid Ids complaint before him, and asked for judgment against the porter. The Viceroy turned to the porter and asked him what he had to say in reply to the charge. The porter only shook his head aad made sigm itli his hands. What judgment do yon want me to give against a dumb man?" asked. Ute Viceroy of Solus. Oh, your Kxeellency, the man is an impostor. I beseech you not to be liove that he is dumb. Kef ore he ran against me, I distinctly beard him cry out: 'Make way.'" "Then, replied tho Viceroy, "if vou heard him ask you to make way for tint, whv did vou not? Tk fault of the accident was entirely with yourself; and vou must nay mm noor nun com pensation for the trouble you have given him in bringing him here." Dr. Ckrk H.

Ao wwtfci The illness of Secret ary Meaning aad the affects of overwork en Secretary Lamar, taken ia oonaootioa with tho rapidly acoumtilatiag business of tho Treasury, Interior aad Postal Departments of the Government, suggest that sooner or later there must be found some relief for tho executive officers of wo Government Since 189t, whan Mr. Jackson invited Mr. Barry, who was chief clerk ia charge of the Postal Department, to a seat in his Cabinet as PostmasterGeneral, titers has been no change in the methods of conducting Ute executive branches of the Government, except by assistants, each Cabinet officer being responsible for Ute whole conduct of hie own Department. Since then Ute population of the country has increased from 13,866.000 to 60,000,000, its resources have been correspondingly developed,. while the duUes of tho Cabinet officers of Ute Government have fully kept pace wiUt Ute material growth of the country. The time has come when an efficient oflicer is soon made a physical wreck in the discharge of bis multifarious duties. It is simply an intellectual and physical impossibility for the Secretary of the Treasury to administer Ute finances of Ute Government, to look after Ute collection of its customs and internal revenues, to run the mints, take in charge steamboat inspection and the life-saving service, look after the engraving and printing and watch the National banks, hare charge of the coast survey, control Ute currency, assume responsibility of the Government architect, and disburse the funds of Ute Government While some of these duties are delegated to others, the Secretary is the responsible head, and must be more or less acquainted with all, according to the measure of his efficiency. The same may be sakl of several departments of the Government The Cabinet of the United States is composed of seven men, that of Great Britain of fourteen, that of France of eleven, that of Prussia of ten and that of Russia of eleven. Even Belgium and Switzerland have seven each, and Italy eight But there has always been a very niggardly spirit shown "by oar people in the number of officials and the pay Utey receive, the idea being Utat there was some merit in Democratic simplicity. This may be true Iirovkled that simplicity is not directed ly men who drive ten-dollar mules in carte. We offer the very highest possible premiums for dishonesty in the public service by imposing upon Cabinet officers duties it is not possible to perform, and as a result we have starroute frauds and naval irregularities that are invited and made possible by our methods. Instead of seven we should have twelve Cabinet officers, and the day is not far distant when it will be recognized. Chicago News. MISS VAN VECHTEN. TKe Tewijc Lattjr f Albany ta Whom rrMidMt I 8M te He Km. The story comes from Albany that President Cleveland is engaged to mar ry Miss Van Veehten, a young lady who may justly lay claim to being the social leader of the capital of New York. The lady is tall and most beau tiful in face aad figure and site has many charms and graces of manner. Tho circle in which she moves k one o: the most exclusive in the United States. The high society of Albany is unques icnably Ute most difficult to penetrate of any in the country and Miss Van Veehten is its central star. She lives in a splendid house that is situated di rectly across the street from Ute Execu tive Mansion, where Mr, Cleveland, when he was in office, could without difficulty bave looked into Miss Van Vechten's window. The lady has a rich complexion, dark eyes and a wealth of waving brown hair. There is a quite striking resemblance between her and Miss Jennie Chamberlain, the beautiful Cleveland girl, whose per sonal auracuvenee nas been tne talK of Europe for a year or two back, When Mr. Cleveland was Governor of New York State, he frequsntly met Miss Van Veehten at the various receptions which occurred at Ute Execu tive Mansion and elsewhere in Albany. and he exhibited a marked preference for her society. It is, indeed, said that ne took every poomble occasion to be at her side, and it is now noticed that she is spending a great deal of her time m Washington, where few, if anv, of the social gatherings of which the President is a feature are allowed to go oy wiutout aer presence. BwH tier tut. m mm Impatient Logan. It hi very evident the Presidential bee ts buzzing in the General's bonnet more furiously than ever. He has carried war into the Edmunds oamp by the resolution to open Ute doors of the Senate on nominations to office; and he has indirectly attacked Blaine as the instigator of a defection on his Army bill. Our own Eysrte may fall under his tomahawk any day. Ho has already irrevently described him as "the little cuss, who wants to be President" John Sherman, too, is not safe from Logan's wrath. In fact all the Republican aspirants for the hite House may well stand in dread of an explosion from tho Senator in his present state of mind. Prudence is not one of his peculiar virtues. He can not be patient and wait for fortune to smile. He insists upon being the preferred candidate before the convention meets. His xeal to make a spoon too quickly may spoil a horn.

On tho other hand, much may be urged in favor of the appointment of an outsider in thkt instance, for it ia evident that if thn President is to bo thus limited la aka choice ae may bo unable to find a pop son who will administer the affairs of the Territory in a just and impartial spirit The linea of antagonism am very sharply defined, and oviry GenUIo) who is not a bitter and unoomptcmiaing foe of MormonUm is in some dgreo susceptible to its influences, bhould tho selection bo made from either of these classes, the, interests of good government might act be subserved. There would either no indiscriminate oppression or a government that would find favor with tho Polygamists.
