Are 3Iarricd Women Nonentities atLaw in tbe District of Columbia?

9 A case of peculiar Interest was tried lu theCircuit Court on Wednesday. The pla: ntlff,Mr. Alex. Gardner, by direction of the defendant,Mrs. Senator Sprague, daughter of the lateChief Justice Chase, made a series of photographsof the library of her father, the commission of President Lincoln to her father, sc.,all of which met ner approvaUiccorciing to thetestimony of plaintiff's witnesses. The plea setup for not paying for the photographs is thatshe is a married woman and had no separateestate. The distinguished defendant came intocourt attended by General Sherman, and ontaking the stand made answer to her counselthat she was a manled woman and did not ownany separate estate. On cross-examination separateestate was explained to her to be the estateeither personal or real which she had inheritedfrom her father and owned apart andIndependent of her husband, Senator Sprague,and she again stated that she owned no separateestate In this District. Counsel for plaintiffthen produced In evidence the will of thelate Chief Justice as recorded, which passedonly the personality, the will being faulty onaccount of belDg Improperly witnessed. Theaccount of personality showed over $90,000.which was the separate property of defendantand her sister, Mrs. Hoyt. The testimony ofdefendant, it is held, should have been givenbefore Congress passed the act exemptingEdgewood from payment of taxes, as In the faceof her own testimony that she did not ownseparate estate In this District, that bodywouldhardly have exempted the property of GovernorSprague. The court hela that Mrs. Spraguewas a nonentity In law, and as a matter ofcrurse the plaintiff lost his suit. W. P.

lecture, at the school house at Bennlng's, forthe benefit of the Sunday school there. He haflia full audience, composed of white and coloreacitizens, who for two hours gave him the closestattention. Mr. Harly presided, and Introducedthe speaker in a complimentary manner, referringto the fact that he had heard htm lecturein Belfast, Ireland, thli ty-four years since. Mr.DouglasB made a characteristic address, inwhich he spoke of the improvement and elevationof the colored race, and also referred tothe exodus. He believed that It had nearlyspent itself. It arose out of a feeling of despairinduced by a narrow view of the present outlookfor the negro. For himself he was exceedinglyhopeful, for the omens north and southportend an. improved feeling and highermeasureof justice to the race than he had seen atany tJme. He commended his people to patience,industry, frugality, fidelity to engagements,neatness of person, and respectful considerationof the rights of the people amongwhom they may be located, and quoted themaxim of a French orator that the liberty ofone man ends where that of another begins.Be would not have them to be servile or sycophantic,nor, on the other hand, arrogant. Hebelieved that with a full complement of manlyqualities the negro could and would make Himselfrespected in every part of the republic.During the delivery of the address but two

Jpersons (colored) left the room, and Mr. D. reerredto them, saying there were some whosebrains were so limited they could not containmore than half the truth, and, having got their

CELEBRATT CALIFORNIA'8 NEW CONSTITUTION.The ^ ork'ngmen's demonstration to celebrate

the adoption of the new state constitution otCalifornia came 0u About 7 o'clocka <flnall crowd began to assemble In front of theCity nail, which did not lncreaso much in si/euntil Doncb'a band struck up the familiar air of"My Grandfather's Clock," and under directionof .Mr. Hugh Coyle started off down 4v; street,to Pennsylvania avenue on the way to the

boarding-house of Hon. Mr. Murch, of Maine.All the loungers within hearing followed, andby the time the band reached Mr. Murch s residence,on 13th, between G and H streets, severalhundred nersons were in the crow d. Here ahalt was ordered and after the band had finished"TheWrfILeft Behind Me," which it hadtackled after "Grandtather's Clock," Mr. JoUns Mills. of Philadelphia, appeared on the balconyand in complimentary terms to

MR. MURCH, OK MAINE,introduced that gentlemen who made a verybrief address to the workingmen, In which aoalluded to the adoption of the California canstttutionas Uie most notable political event ofthe times, and said they had assembled to dohonor to the occasion. His physical conditionprevented any extended remarks, and arterthanking the assembly of workingmen forhonoring him as their representative he withdrew.audthe band returned to the Metropolitanhotel where quite a large crowd had congregated.The first speaker introduced wasHON. HENPRICK B. WRIGHT, OF PENNSYLVANIA,who said they had assembled to do honor to themost important political event which had everoccurred in the history of this government.The state of California, which had so long beenat the mercy of wealthy corporations that afree expression of opinion by the citizens wasthought to be impossible, had asserted itself bythe adoption of a constitution which materiallycurtails the hlthei to absolute powers of t^e;:ecorporations. [Applause.] He had not sufiiclentlyexamined the provisions of that constitutionto be able to discuss its merits in detail,but he proceeded to name some of its ge.ieralfeatures, among them the eight-hour feature;the taxing of the Incomes of the wealthy classfrom stocks, bonds and other evidences of indebtedness;limiting the powers of railroadcorporations to their legitimate vocation.thaiof common caiTlers.and interdicting themfrom becoming land speculators; and the stoppageof Chinese immigration. These thingsmark

A NEW ERAof most important events In our political history,'n which the workingmen or the countrywill bear a more conspicuous part than ever before.The lesson taught by this victory indicatesthat the time is at hand when the workingpeople will refuse to bend the knee and worshipthe golden calf. All that is necessary toextend this peaceful revolution all over theland Is unity of action. Nothing more Is required.Touching upon the question of franchisein the District of Columbia, he said hefavored giving the right of voting for Presidentand Vice President to eveiyman In the District.To deny this right to our District citizenswas absurd. There was no reason why thecitizen here should be deprived of tie right ofsuffrage, and he also favored giving the Districta delegate in Congress. Dui lng his remarks hewas frequently applauded.

OTHER SPEAKERS.Next followed Hon. James B. Weaver or

Iowa, Hon. Nicholas Ford of Missouri, and Hon.E. II. Gillette of Iowa, all of whom spoke in thesame strain.

They are WilliamNelson, Dartel Williams, John Thomas andWilliam Price, all colored men; Elizabeth Butler,Maggie Butler, Annie Johnson and KateKennedy, all white women. They are nowlodged In jail, and numerous other arrests forthe same offence will be made to-morrow. Thegrand jury also indicted Revs. Robert Jeffriesand William H.

lady from the back country visited the FirstNational Bank of Flshklll Landing, and!broughtwith her $450 in silver coin, about f350 of itbeing American, the rest of foreign coinages.They were mostly half-dollar pieces and manyof them quite ancient. The oldest Americancoin was a half-dollar of 176-4, waiie some Spanishcoins were over one hundred years old.There were two Spanish pieces of 1795. The~ecoins had been saved all through the late war,when tbey would have brought twice their facevalue, and were now disposed of at par..[Poughkeepnie Eagle.What Stanley is Doing..News has arrived

by the last mall from Zanzibar that Mr. H. M.Stanley Is busily occupied in engaging portersfor a journey into the Interior of Africa, butthat he preserves the utmost secrecy as to hislrtended movements. A rumor is curreutamong the porters that their journey Is to commencefrom the west coast. If this be the ca_e,Mr. Stanley must have Introduced a radicalchange into the original plans of the Belgiansection of the International African Associatlon, for whom he is believed to be acting.That, accidents apart, he will be more successfulthan the unfortunate leaders of the firstBelgian expedition few will be so rash as todoubt, and ne Is sure to have good and sufficientreasons for the course he is adopting..[nature.The General assembly of the PresbyterianChurch (south) met In Louisville, Ky., yesterday. One hundred and twenty-five commissionerswere present. Rev. Dr. t. E. Peck, of

Va., the retiring moderator, delivered the openingsermon. Rev. Dr. Joseph Wilson, of Wilmington,N. c., was then elected moderator.He had been stated clerk of the assembly thirtyyears. Rev. Dr. R. t. Burling was re-electedtemporary clerk.An Italian Physician, Dr. chlappeill, saysthat he has frequently noticed in patients who

were apparently very far from death an extraordinaryopening of the eyelids, so as to givethe eyes the appearance of protruding from theorbits, which was Invariably a sign that deathwould occur within twenty-four hours. In somecases only one eye Is wide open, while the otherremains normal; here death will not followquite so rapidly, but In about a week or so. Theauthor is utterly at a loss to explain this symptom,and ascribes it to some diseased state ofthe sympathetic nerve.Tns Approaching Trial of Miss Llllie Duer

for killing Miss Ella Hearn in Pocomoke City inNovember last is recalling public interest in thedetails of the tragedy. The case will be heardat the May term of the circuit court of Worcestercounty. The shooting was occasioned bythe deceased repulsing Miss Duer's demonstrationsof affection and loving anotheryoung ladybei ter. This, with the fact that the young ladywho did the shooting sought for years the privatecompanionship of the other, together withseveral other interesting revelations, shows amanliness which might never have excited remarkbut for the passion and tragedy It led to.Jacob Staemi-kli, a well-known Swiss politician,and to 1861 president of the Swiss confederation,and subsequently a member of the

Geneva court of arbitration on the Alabamaclaims, is dead, in his GOth year. He was one ofthe chiefs of the radical party and at one timeeditor of the Berne Gazette. He retired frompublic life in 1S65.

rr-An exchange says that John Barkey,ninety years of age, formerly of Windsor, Pa.,left several days ago for Kansas, where he expectsto "grow up with the country."pr-A man and wife to Tipton, Ind., agreed to

separate. Their property was divided, piece bypiece, until nothing was left but a baby an 1 acow. The husband gave the wife her choice, aadshe took the cow.twit isn't the frail, delicate girl, with the

soft, gazelle-like eye, that the divine aniatus ofspring poetry rests upon. Not at all. Theorenlus of rhyme and rhythm is more oftenround to the robust and somewhat wrinkledmaiden of 40 summers, with a good api>ettteand superb digestion. Young men, beware ofthe rhyming female. She is the most expensivekind to feed..[A'eto Haven Register.

An Event Without a Parallel in the historyofthe I'rote&tant Episcopal church in thiscountry took place at St. element's church, InPhiladelphia last Wednesday, when a requiemmass for the repose of the soul of Dr. JamesPeKoven, who died recently at Racine, Wis.,was celebrated with great ceremony. Theparaphernalia used was very similar to thatused In the Roman Catholic-Church. Theritualistic practices of this church, it will beremembered, were condemned by the ProtestantEpiscopal convention recently m session InPhiladelphia.A Mean Man..Once upon a time, accordingto a correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, Jake

Mason went to a donation party where six farmersweie to contribute a Jug of milk apiece.Well, one man.a very mean man.this meanman was Jake Mason.thought it would notmake any difference If he contributed water inplace of m/lk; so he filled his Jug with waterand took It to the donation. When he got there,he turned It over the bung and It ran into abarrel where all the other farmers had pouredtheir milk. Now, what do you think was theresult? Why, every one of the six farmers happenedto be as moan as Jake Mason. They hadall bi ought water.tw The writer of a letter in the Lor.dm

Times points out that an ounce of bread wasteddally In each household in England and Walesmeans about 25,000,000 quartern loaves, theproduce of so,000 acres of wheat In a year;while an ounce a week of meat wasted amountsto some 300,000 sheep.
