Two firms of attorneys hare been organised in Washington, D. C., for the express object of prosecuting the claims of railroads against the Government for damages arising from such delays and errors. A little Swiss Canton with socialistic tendencies has lately adopted a law of free bunal, by which the 8tate is the chief patron and employer of the undertakers. Two purveyors of coffins are elected in each district, all ord#fc??^re sent to one during the first six raontlR^ S of tho year, and to the other during the remaining six months. The coffins are delivered gratuitously. Notwithstanding the efforts of the Government to bo fair, the greatest complaint and dissatisfaction have arisen. One coffin maker baa twice as many orders as his colj leagues, and private families are not sat / I.A^I ^ iougvi Chief J ustice Fuller, having gone to 1 his doctor's house in Washington recently in preference to sending tor the physiciau, found that gentleman absent and was invited into the library to await i his return. The attendant who nsbered ' ? the visitor in was ignorant of the latter's station, but recognized him as a man of culture and kind impulses. This was evident from the surprising request that the Chief Justice should improve tho j time by writing n love letter for the man < who let him in. Pens, ink, paper and < envelop were prollcrod, and without 1 hesitation tho favor was granted, tho missive being complotod before tho physician's return. Renewed attoution is called by tho New York Independent to the brutality of the best military establishment in tho world. A non-commissioned officer had been unusually brutAl to a Qerman recruit -of irnnd familv. who nvnntuall* was driven to suicide to escape the degradation to which he was forced, but not before ho had written a letter to his parents giving a full account of what he suffered. Ihis letter was sent by them to the Emperor who has caused the ariost of the brute. A result has been the discovery of the fact that out of 12? deaths in the army during December last, twenty-four were suicides mostly caused by desperation at the tyranny of noncommissioned officers. But war la essentially brutal. It is said that when a native of HawaTl wish** to give evidence of iiis sorrow at the loss of a kinsman ho goes to some secluded spot and endeavors to knock out one of hi: front teeth. la case it is his mAldnn pfTnrh Ah monrnincr r?li\fnq hViA Atlanta Constitution, the bereaved not V -uofrequently bunglos the job, and on looking over the debris often finds that he has knocked out a couple or more. If the griel stricken party, however, lacks the nervo or distrusts his prowess to accomplish the tooth's displacement, a i dear and obligiag frionl is always at hand to offor his assistance. As a result of this custom a man of middle age ia ofton short so many teeth that gastronom* ers are embarrassed in eating their food. American dentists will do a land office business in Hawaii if the United (states iuusiu the islands. - ?i With all the warmth of eulogy the story of our wonderful progrosshas been told again and again, but only a few references have been made to the abnotmal growth of what may be termed the criminal class, states the Washington Btar. Forty years ago there was but one criminal 10 oouu gooa or reasonably good citizens. In 1890 the proportion was one in 786.5; an increase of 445 per cent, in a period during which the popu. lation increaied but 170 percont. Never in the Nation's history has educative work of all descriptions been nearly so active as for ten years past, yet in that time the increase in the number of those who were confined in penitentiaries and jails and reformatory institutions was almost twice as rapid as thespoed of populativo growth. Comparisons with con- , ^ ditions in Groat Britain are far from encouraging, for there the number of criminal convictions has decreased while the population and the general prosperity have increased.

There is an empire here for development and there are opportunities possessed by no other section of this great country, but if we would develop the South on the right lines?if would preserve the civilization of the South and the homogenity of the Southern people?it musl be accomplished by the proper regulation of the people who are brought here.
