A NOTABLE SXJIT.
Which is a Sequel to Historical L,eg
lelation of over 30 Yeare Ago.
New York, May 11. The suit of the
Liverpool and Philadelphia Steamship
Company, against the commissioners of
emigration of the State of New York
for recovery of over one million dollars,
paid, as head moneys on L,uropean emi
grants transported here Dy the com
pany, came on in the United States cir
cuit court before Judge Shipman to
day. This suit is a sequel to historical
legislation over thirty years ago, in
which most the eminent counsel, such
as Daniel Webster, Ruf us Choate, D. B.
Offden and John Van Buren were en
listed. United States Supreme Court
Chief Justice Taney and all the asso
ciate justices, exceptor. Justice Nel
son, wrote elaborate opinions for or
acainst the constitutionality of taxes in
1877. The present suit was instituted
in 1878. Congress passed an act invali
dating the collection of all head moneys
and declaring that no suits should be
maintained for the recovery of moneys
so paid or collected. On argument of
the case Messrs. Alexander and Green
areued for the company that it was en
titled to recover the money, first as in
voluntary uayment and secondly as
made under a mistake of foreign law
bv the plaintiff, who was a foreign cor
poration. It was also contended that
the act of Coneress cutting off the plain
tiffs suit was unconstitutional. On be
half of the commissioners of emigra
tion, Messrs. Lewis and George N. ban
ders, it was argued that head moneys
were levied and expended tor tne Dene
fit of emigrants, and were collected by
the steamship companies, had no equit
able claim to the money ; that the act
of Congress validating the collection of
head money tax was unconsucuuona
because the consent of Congress was al
that was lacking to make it valid.
Judge Shipman decided in favor of
the commissioners of emigration and
dismissed the complaint. The company
will appeal. The amount invelved in
this and other similar suits is over $2,-
000,000.
How Mrs. Vanderbilt'e Brooch was
Bought for Fifty Cents.
New York Tribune.
Daniel O'Rielly, age twenty, son of a
stage-driver on the Madison Avenue
Line, is employed by C. W. Matherson
a florist, at No. 673 Sixth avenue. Tues
day his mother suggested that he should
buy a trunk, as the family were about
to move. In the afternoon he saw an
ash-cart containing two trunks at For
tieth street and Fifth avenue, and final
ly he purchased one for fifty, cents
Opening the trunk a few minutes later
O'Reilly, while rumaging through a pile
of papers, found a diamond brooch
wrapped in a piece of tissue-paper,
O'Reilley says that he counted eighty
diamonds set in the brooch and his
mother counted seventy-nine. O'Reilly
was naturally surprised at his discov
erv. The trunk bore the initials, MW,
H. V., New York," in black letters, and
on a baggage paster was tne aaaress
"W. H. Vanderbilt. No. 459 Fifth ave
nue. New York." At the suggestion of
a friend. O'Reilly went to the Grand
Central depot yesterday morning and
related his story to Chauncey M. De-
pew. One of Mr. Vanderbilt's sons
came in, and on hearing the story said
that he thought his father had bought
the brooch while abroad, u Keiiiy re
turned with the diamonds, which he
had left at home, and as Mr. Vander
bilt was out left them with the secre
tarv. When a reward was hinted at by
the secretary O'Reilly replied promptly
that he did not wisn any recompense,
but would prefer that his rather be as
sisted. He was told to call at the Van
derbilt residence this morning.
Mrs. W. II. Vanderbilt laughed mer
rily when a reporter related the story
to her last evening. She said that the
brooch, which had just been returned
to her by Mr. Rossiter, contained only
twenty or tweuty-five diamonds, and
that they were of small size. The
brooch was worth only $700 or $800. It
had been given to her in 1870 by Mr.
Vanderbilt.
A Hanging Which, was in Fun Re
sults Fatally.
Statesville Landmark.
Intelligence of an occurrence at once
comical and tragical, comes from Un
ion Grove township, in the extreme
northern part of this county- One day
last week a youth of the name of John
Brown, aged 20 or 21 years, with a view
to bteaking a little nephew of the habit
of eating dirt, which he had unhappily
contracted, took him out to a tree and
told him of his purpose to hang him for
his Tile habit. He accordingly tied a
rope around his neck and swuag him
up to a limb. After letting hang awhile,
for the purpose of frightening him thor
oughly, he cut the child down, but un
fortunately the experiment , had been
carried too far. : The same . night the
child died. No one ascxibea to the uncle
any criminal purpose,- aad he- has not
been taken into custody;" " , I

A ROTAL DRESS-niKEB.
II:tme-l.ife and work of German Im
perial Princes.
From the Berliner Tageblatt
Prince Frederick Leopold, 15 years
and 6 months of age, son of Prince
Frederick Charles,' is diligently attend
ing his riding and drilling lessons. At
about noon he may be seen every day
eaving the Royal Palace in civilian
dress, high cavalry boots, carrying a ri
ding whip and accompanied by his mil
itary governor, walking to the menege
in the Breiten strass, wnere ne mounts
one of the picked hdrses of his imperi
al granduncle, and- for full an hour
oes through his equestrian course un
er the stern tutorship of Ridingmaster
Major Meyer. At this drill the Prince
nandles a cadet Mauser nne, nis ami
master being a gigantic corporal of the
body-company or the First Regiment
of the Guards. The young Princesses
are bv no .means allowed to neglect
their physical development. The three
foungest daughters of the Crown
'rince, Princess Victoria, Sophie and
Margaretha, are practicing gymnastics
at least three times a wees under the
direction of Major Von Dresky, chief
instructor at the Military Central
Gymnasium. They take their lessons
at the Crown-princely Palace, and are
not only proficient in the various exer
cises, but appear very mucn to tneir ad
vantage in their pretty English gym
nastic costumes. These latter are the
productions of a "home industry "
which is established at the palace, and
runs no less than thirteen sewing ma
chines "for the confection of the every
day dresses of the young Princesses as
well as their august mother, who her
self makes the designs and superin
tends the work. In an emergency this
imperial dress-making establishment
does not at all shrink from venturing
on the manufacture of more sumptu
ous and complicated gala-dresses. It
was only the other day that the Crown
Prince was shown a variety of hand
some but expensive costumes for his
spouse and that he deliberately but
pleasantly remarked to the head of one
of our well-known magasins de non-
veautes : "These prices are too high for
me! My wife would be anything but
pleased if I were to spend so much
money for a dress. She is far too prac
tical in that respect she prefers to buy
the material herself and have it made
up at home."
Will Small Cotton Factories Fay ?
Colombia (3. C.) Register.
It is thought ancFstated by some that
a small factory will not pay. Now,
surrounded as we are by practical
proofs to the contrary, we are at a loss
to say how such an idea could be enter-
tained a moment. It is the experience
and opinion of all mill men that a fac
tory running from two to ten thousand
spindles, making a good medium class
of yarn, will give a more ready return
for the money invested than if started
on a grander scale, purposing to make
a finer class of goods. We need not go
very far ta make citations. Take the
Red Bank Factory: that company, a
few years ago, started heavily in debt,
with from twelve to fifteen hundred
spindles. It is running two thousand
odd spindles to-day, independent of the
world, and paying ten per cent on the
stock. The Saluda Factory, a few
years back, when first owned by Mr.
Johnson alone, had a miserable, shaky
wooden dam. Look at it to-day the
wooden dam gone and in its stead a
heavy stone dam everything paid for,
and in a condition to put up, in addi
tion to what is now there, $50,000 worth
of machinery.
With these facts staring us in the
face, and a similar experience of many
others we could cite, there is no reason
why enterprises in this line should, for
want of a large capital stock, stop. If
a 5,000 spindle mill cannot be built be
cause the capital stock does not reach
$125,000, put up a 4,000 spindle mill for
$100,000, and if capital can't reach that,
start a 3,000 spindle mill for $75,000; or,
if necessary, start a smaller mill on a
less capital ; for, just as sure as the sun
shines, all moneys invested in mills,
particularly cotton mills, will give a
constant, ready, fair return, in small
mills as well as large.
Woman vs Whiskey
Women are earnest workers in behalf
of the temperance movement. As they
are the greatest sufferers from the evils
of intemperance, it is right and proper
for them to do all in their power to
check, if not stop, its destructive course.
As will be seen Dy the following taken
from one of our exchanges, they per
formed some effective work in the late
municipal elections in Illinois; The
returns thus far published of the recent
municipal elections in Illinois show
that the women won some notable tri
umphs, which are perhaps the omens of
gfeaterand more important victories
in the future. The question of
temperance was a leading one in the
canvass, and, as may be expected, the
fair Illinoisans were on the side of the
Prohibitionists. The enthusiasm with
which they worked and the numbers
in which they turned out showed the
keen interest they took in the subject.
In one little town one thousand ladies
appeared at the polls and succeeded in
electing three out of fourteen aldermen.
At Mount Vernon all their candidates
were elected by a majorty of five hun
dred, and in other portions of the State
their efforts were crowned with more
or less success.
Some Country Beer-Drinker.
Dryden, (N. Y.) Dispatch to New York Sun.
A civil-damage suit, in a case where
a man was alleged to have become in
toxicated on lager beer, just tried here,
has brought to light a wonderful capac
ity for lager or swearing. Jas. Swart
testified that he had drank fifty-four
glasses of lager in twelve hours and
was not drunk. He thought lager would
intoxicate if kept on hand long. Ben
Taylor swore that he sometimes drank
two or three gallons a day, and he never
saw anybody drunk on lager unless
they mixed it with some other drink.
Charles Schults was the last witness
and the greatest drinker of all. He
testified that he had drank seventy-five
glasses of lager between 7 and 10 o clock
of an evening. He had swallowed four
gallons in a day, and in summer ha al
ways drank two or three gallons a day,
and was never drunk in his life. The
jury at once returned a verdict of $200
for the plaintiff.
Mr. Wm. Beyscher, Netary Public, 83 Mercer
street, New York, says : The use of St Jacob's Oil
has been of great senlce to me, as I thankfully
acknowledge. I suffered with rheumatic pain In
the face and ears; induced to try St. Jacob's Oil, I
foaad Immediate relief , and it effected an entire
core. Moved by a sense of duty, It therefore gives
meirreatleasure to recommend to suffering o
namity the St. Jacobs Oil, as a remedy worthy of
the highest praise. .
