(Written for the Courler-JouTtiaa.) Something of a coincidence In tha early political history of Kentucky Is to be found In the lives of the great men of the Ggxts, to wit: John Boyle, Samuel McKee, George Robertson and Robert P. Letcher.

Few men of the Commonwealth have held higher positions and mora of them than those just named. Two of them (Boyle and Robert-sue) wore the Chief Justice's gown for thirty one years combined, and all left their Impress upon State and National polities. Bach married young and commenced housekeeping In the same little, unpretentious log cabin (of two rooms) In the rotation In which their names are above given, and each succeeds the other la Con grass in the same order. Boyle was born in Virginia, but the others, McKee perhaps excepted, were native Kenruckians, and each devoted his great energies to the molding of tha peOucal destiny of his State. John Boyle who, as a lawyer.

Jurist and statesman, has had but few equals In the history of the State, was bom In 1774, and was brought here by his parents when four years of age. Ills family went poor, and upon his arrival here his father located at Whitley's Station, but soon after removed Into what Is now Garrard county. Young Boyle, tike some of the greatest men this great country has produced, alone aud unaided, achieved his own fortune. His energy and indomitable will surmounted every obstacle and his restless ambition wafted him on to success and the attainment of tbe highest honors his State could bestow. He studied law with Hon.

Thomas Davis, of Harrodsburg, then a member of Congress, and whom be succeeded in thst capacity. He was of the Jeffersonlan system of politics, which was, at that time. In the ascendancy, and be served three successive Congressional terms; being re-elected without opposition. He declined the race tor a fourth term, ihe practice of law Inspiring him with mora Interest than political life) presented. President Madison appointed him Territorial.

Governor ol Illinois, but he exchanged positions with Klnian Edwards, Chief Justice of the Court of Appeals, who wanted to go to Illinois, and the Federal authorities consenting, the change was niaue. bo, on tbe 3d uf April, 1M(. Boyle became Chief Justice of Kentucky, a position he held until November, loiid, a period of neariy seventeen years. TUe latter part ol Judge Boyle's term as Chief Justice was characterized by the bitterest partisan strife known in the history of the Male, prior to the late civil war the "relief" and anti-relief, or old" and new court contest, a subject familiar to all readers of koiuucky history. It originate! in attempted lelief from debt, which had been recklessly Incurred through speculation on toe depreciated ourreucy of tue Bank of the Commonwealth, a bank founded on an infirm foundation.

Its charter not requiring it to even redeem lie notes in specie. Its paper soon depreciated to half its nominal value, and to relieve the debtor the Legislature enacted a law staying executions twelve instead of three months, and this was amended soon after to two years Instead of one, unless Ihe creditor chose to take his debt In the depreciated notes of the Commonwealth Bank at var. The creditor was placed iu a position necessitating his taking one-half of his debt for the whole, or waiting two years with little certainty of getting it then. Thus two great parties were formed, arrayed under the banners of reliel" and auti relief. Under tbe first was ranged the great mass of debtors, with a few able lawyers, such as John Rowan, Geo rue il.

Bibb; William T. Barry and Solomon P. Sharp, all men of the highest order of Intellect, and well. known aud sagacious leaders. Many who sought political prelermeot, among whom was the Governor, gave It countenance, and a large proportion of the voting population swelled its ranks.

The anti-relief party comprised nearly all tbe mercantile class, the larger of the bench and bar, and a majority of the better class fanners, said a historian of the times: Tbe mass of property and intelligence was drawn up in array against the mass of numbers, and an angry conflict commenced in the newspapers, upon the stump, in the taverns and highways, which gradually Invaded the most private and domestic circles. Robert WlrUifTe, of Fayette; George RoberUou, of Garrard, and Chilton A Bail, of Clark, were early engaged in tbe conflict, and were regarded as leaders of the anti-relief party." All this time the Court of Appealss was comprised if John Boyle, Chief Justice, and Wiil'aia twsle and lienjamlu Mills, Associate Judges. ays the same writer above quoted: "These gentlemen has passed tne meridian of llie. and had been drilled for a long erlas of e-ltv to the patient and abstract severity of Judicial investigation. In simplicity, in profound legal knowledge, ami in Ikonaii-like firmness of purpose, ihe old Court of Appeals of Kentucky have seldom lieen surpassed.

Such wwre the men pitted as-iiost the mad hosts of the relief party, and who dared to do their duty aud maintain their digntncd stations amid popular clamor. They had refrained from any expression as to the merits of the question. remaining siemiy silent, until called upon to act. In a cae appealed from the Circuit Cu.irt, when their opinion, seriatim, and at Irngth, was delivered calmly, concurring wltn the derision of too Circuit Court, namely, thai the act of the Legislature was hi violation of the Constitution of li.e I'niied aUate and totally void." ti'he clause ot the oii.tituUon with wlih-hthe act conllUted. was that which piol-jhlied tbe Stales from patting any law Impairing the obligation of contract.

The majority, however, rou Id not remove them l.y Impeachment, an rrtired a w.MI-.'nls vote of the Lrgisla-tlre to do It. and the majorty, though large, did not reach to that. Tnelr course, u.erefiir.-.

Such a bill was croniiiigly drawn up. and in the lrislatuie, and for Ihree days, and for three sessions, provoked the bitterest discussion that ever look plare4 rerhaps. In tbe Kentucky Legislature. The ill was finally put to a sole and passed Honses.

The old Judges were depose. the court reot tanlred, ihi Wm. T. Barn-, Kief Justice, and John Trimble. Jamos Ha'a-gln and Kezin Ifavhlm, Associates, were appointed ihe nev court.

Hence, the terms "Old four." and "New Court" parties.

lTMax Beatley Is day cashier at T. H. Moffat's restaurant, Sixth avenue. New York. West W.

Bnntos, friend of Mr. Bentley, Is night cashier at the same place. Six weeks ago Benih-y married Miss Maggie Decry, who was also employed la the same place. Mr. Bentley ht about twenty-five, and his wife Is also twenty-five years of age.

Mr. Bentley has younger sister, Miss Kara, and Bentley soon began to think her much mora precious than his wlfo, Mrs. Bentley soon had reason to believe that her husband and Mis Kora were greatly name red of each other, and she kept a close watch oa their movements. One day she discovered that her husband had taken his portable effects from the house and placed them ta a trunk at a Chinese laundry. She took tha trunk home and found letters containing expressions of endearment between ier husband and her sister, and which also revealed a scheme by which they were to clop and go to housekeeping in Chicago.

Meantime, Miss Nora had come to Saratoga and. assumed the role Oa a pretty table girl at the Spencer House. When tha husband learned that his truck had been taken home by his wife, and that she had become aware of the secrets which it contained, he fled. But his wife suspectod that he had come to Saratoga, and sha came here, arriving on Wednesday night last, she started for police headquarters, aud on the way met Mr. Bentley's friend.

West Burton, woo waa supposed to be at Laae Ueorge on his vacatiou. At her ne accompanies! her lo the police suit ion, out soon excused himself sou went on lo find Bentley and give him a Up about his wife being here, but did not Bud him. Mrs. Bentley swore out a warrant for tha arrest of her husband, who, It was ascertained, was slopping at the Commercial HotoL and a policeman was stationed there to arrest him on sight. Miss Noia place of employment was visited at about iu o'clock by Mrs.

Bentley and a policeman, but Nora waa out. The lauy of the house permitted tbe wife to occupy her sister's room, and she wailed there an night fur her mum, bat Nora did not come in that night. West Burton also sat up all night at the Commercial Hotel, so that bo could Inform Bentley ot the situation and enable him to elude arnsL But Bentley did not come. This was a suggestive coincidence. The police kept vigilant watch at th4 Spencer Houbc and at lit.

Commercial unlit broad daylight. At a. m. on Thursday morning Mr. Bentley with bis sister-in-law walked tight into the, flute of the policeman at tha Spencer House.

They had been out together all night. As tha guilty pair were about to separate, the policeman aaid: "Good morning, air. Bentley. You are mistaken, sir. "Oh, come now, Mr.

Bentley, is It not yon who are mistaken And he showed the handsome cashier has own photograph. This convinced him of his identity, aud he accompanied tbe policeman aud Was locked up. Meantime, Miss Nora fled to her room In the Spencer House, and to her consternation, Into the angry presence of Mrs. Bentley, who coldly said, addressing the policeman: Well, here's my nice sister. Miss Nora fared the situation bravely, but said norbtng- Sob que i tly Mrs.

Bentley bad an interview with her husband behind the bars, and he persuaded her that he would behave better hereafter. she relented. A consultation was held with Chief Bind reft, and It was agreed that If Bentley would give his wife H5 of the 14U which he had In his possession, and renew his promise to her to be a true and faithful husband, be would be released, and tne case dismissed. Bentley hesitated a little, but finally assented. Burton and Miss Nora were also present.

As the quartette left the) station together, Bentley exclaimed: You can Just bet, Chief Blodgett, I'll have a good time with the few dollars I've got lclu" y- CONTRACTING FOI COFFINS.

Come in and I will make a contract with you to bury you when you die," said an undertaker, who has been in the business for nearly half a century, to a Courier-Journal reporter yesterday. Do you ever make many such contract as that?" asked tne reporter. Yes, indeed I have made a good many in my time.

You see there are many peculiar people in this world, and with some of them it extends even to the manner in wliioh they shall be buried. 1 have made wriUon contracts with many prominent people, who have lived and died in this city, in which all the details of the matter were entered into, such as the kind of wood the coffin should he made of, the kind and color of the trimmings, with just as much care and consideration us are usual in business transactions. I remember one prominent old citizen of this city, who wanted a coftin made out or cherry, with a block of the same material for his head to rest 1 made a contract with him to multa it hut. I tell you, 1 had a hard time finding tbe But I succeeded at last, and made the eoflln according to directions, and kept it in my shop for three or four years before the owner needed It. Lhirinir the war a great, big, lumbering lour-horse wagon drove up in front of my place and stopped.

The driver came in and said he wanted to buy a metallic coftin for his own use wiien he died. He said that he lived at Cumlierland Gap, and that he nam a mncy to De buried in that kind of a coffin, and. as he knew he could not get one where he lived, he thought he would get one while in the city, an he had such good chance to take it home.

Artistic Furniture That Will Please) the Eye and Se Cosy aad Comfortable. POINTS FOR RENT PAYERS. (Written for the Coorasr-JoornaL) OQ have, by careful economy, accumulated a few thousands of dollars, and in all seriousness are anxious to make a borne which you may call your own.

from which your children may go forth into the world, and in time look back with love and reverence, not only for your careful forethought and thrift, but for the beauties and comfort which their old home possesses. Evayy ahinide bviB be blessed, every detail will be remembered. How important it ts, then, that yon, the head of the bonee, should study economy, coupled, of course, with the important fact that whatever yon do the arrangement of your new home 27ai should be in conformity with a housekeeper's ideas, and that a handsome show of the artistio, both in exterior and interior design, as well aa furnishing, should be accomplished. First, yon should consult your every requirement as regards the number of rooms needed, their accessibility, and how they can best be encompassed by the least outlay consistent with good architectural lines, for it is just as easy to have a beautiful house as an ugly one, and an artistically laid out affair is always of more collateral value than mere stupid block of wood. Why it is so is simply this: A carpenter knows only his trade; he can build, but not construct; he has no ideality beyond the driving of nails or the selection of material he does not pretend to be anything more than he is, and thus shows his good sense.

He will tell you every man to his trade, and that he will follow the architect's plans always. Each to his province, and the result is harmonious. How simple everything becomes then, when you make up your mind to build a house of your own. You have, we will say. $7,000 or equivalent.

With this amount you must become an inhnbi-tor of the house furnished, ready to live in. eleeant in every particular alike for yourself and friends. Yon must not exceed the amount appropriated, as thousands do, and absolutely wreck their good resolve and intentions, and you need not. if you onnsult the pbins here presented. Yon will notice that the cut represent a rather pretentious exterior, and it wonld eeem at first sight that such a house would of itself absorb the amount mentioraad.

but the arcliitert hus carefully considered his materials, and by uniting several styles of architecture ha brought out a re-, nlly beautiful series of line and forms. I Briefly described, the all-around views Ir in uvunl handsome Hi i ironies and I overhanging, projections and flush bel-eontr. stained-gla. windows, piazzas and a beautiful supply of light. There are scarcely any repetition of window forms, and the lines are so broken that each detail showa up it own distinctive value.

There are place where one muy "und in warm or wet weather and be under cover, places where a view can be had of tbe surroundings or witness the balcony on the facade. Every access is evident on three sides, and nothing, even trees, esn exclude the view or light of day. As for material and color the limit baa ne end. but in the latter phase tha style and tone should be quiet, oo. account of the fact that the linen shew off a of their own.

and are so full of movement that if the ho ase were painted a very subdued hue. it jroald be tuatAaVg-ilaaiil aenarh, Then, HH I ILL Tl Tf. 1- tie- ut3w-vr-AKfji too, there is a fine opportunity to show off simple draperies, and these alone would carry color enough even if the architectural scheme were deficient. Let as go inside and note the Airable manner in which the architect ha taken advantage of his space. The interior picture gives rou an idea ot your first view, and tne impression Is quite favorable.

The principal feature re the grand staircase, the open fireplace and the airynrs of the locality. The soft, mellow light from the stained glass, the comfortable show of furniture, biending aa they do with the graceful, low relief, mural tracery, and the Oriental effect of rug and carpet forms a background only needs the do-meetio family figure to compose a really lovely picture. The practicable side of the lower floor, one which must not be overlooked, displays several uniqne Ideas. Here on the left is a fair-sized room with' three windows; this can be puncK-d up with dado of white wood stained any color, and tbe walls hung with etchings or water colors, or eveu print. Tbe space caa be used for a library, waiting, sewing or reception-room.

Tbe dining room is placed on the farthest left corner, aud is hid.len from view tsy a drapery or screen. This room receive the light from three windows, and if one cbooees a view ot the entire floor, it can be had while being seated at the table, Tbe kitchen is located at the rear ot the central line, convenient to the dining-room, the glass and crockery closets, and is connected with the main hall by a double entry, part of which can be used for cloaks, hats and other clothing. The dining-room mantel, as shown in the cut, differs materially from the one in the grand ball; while it is no less ek-gant, still it is more appropriate in form and. decoration. The wood may be left natural, either ash.

oak, or possibly cypress, just as one fancies, as indeed all of the standing finish, wainscots, doors, frames, etc. it is matter of taste, and dor not affect tbe value' or price as originally estimated. The hall fireplace is, of course, more receptive and open in its nature, and, like the one mentioned, is capable of rereivinfr any objects of an ornamental character. We can reach the second floor by the kitchen or by the hall stairs, and from either way we arrive at the sume landing. On this floor are two large front chambers, a buth-room on the farther side, two good-sized rooms on the right and left, and in tbe center, which would be over the kitchen, there is a pretty room BKt-Bjr vww- LT Meafce.n..

which con be used as a conservatory or a reading-room or even a chamber. Here, again, occurs an opportunity to exercise taste in the selection of mural colors, paper, etc The most inexpensive and durable, as well as handsome, paper is the cartridse; any color desirable can be obtained, and whatever of furniture there is in tbe room will show off well where this paper is used. The upper floor shows two furnished rooms, while there is opportunity to add two more with ample storage capacity; if desired, a billiard-room could be placed on this floor, and the daylight could be obtained from the open balcony. One of the most important features of this bouse, and one which is rarely considered, is the splendid circnlation of air which is obtainable, it being- so open in every part: your chamber is ao longer a single room," for at night you lrea he the atmosphere of the whole house. The tern pet at re may be kept even every room, and if you have several children there run be no duntrcr of croup or colds of any kind.

Then too, the. dem.ind on vour furnace is reduced, on account of the fact that there is an even space to warm, and that the pressure of atr is outward and not inward. Much might be said of the furniture, but as everything is to be tip to the styles shown in the cuts, nnd must be in keepinc with the other fixtures, it is self-evident that there can be no falling-off in this particular. The same may be said of the draperies aud ornaments': of course taste in the selection must be exercised, aud this especially is renlly a part of the scheme mxke the result show more than the money's wiirth. For ST.OoO one can aHsnlutelv own land, house and furniture-, and there will not he shown one neglected spot, from the walk to the house tn the last detail of utility or adornment.

For this amount the of material: fitting up," indeed, tlie whole business can be transacted, so that at a given rime tbe owner and family mav step into tbe house and commence living tlie day they euter in. aud they will he saved the wesr and tear of their vitality, which will reolly more than Inilance the commission of the artist architect. Exact details of every item of construction and furnishinj can be readily furnished. To Erect a Statue to Isabella. Springfield.

JOHN C.LEWIS. Fourth Ayenue, Corner Green Street. A COSNEK ON DIAMONDS. Haw la Price of Precieas Stones Is Ta Be Forced Up, Kew York, Aug. 17.

Whoever want to bur diamonds should be quick about it. in a few days the market will have Jumped ao high that he who would purchase most have a millionaire's purse. The precious gems have been for a long time very cheap. Diamonds have; in fact, been altogether too promiscuously displayed, and the reaction has already set in. At least so is the notion of people who set the price.

The Maiden Lane dealers in this city are not very much set down, taking things all in all, at the diamond advance. As a matter of fact, it might tux the energy of a rather big syndicate to control the prices of the stock already in their possession. It is of some importance, however, that people who want to bur diamonds should understand just why the gems will, from this out, become dearer and rarer. In the first place, the iCotltschilds have used the syndicate which they formed some time ago for the now openly avowed purpose of constituting a corner in diamonds. When dealers ae Amsterdam, the great center of the cutting trade, found out aome month ago that the producers at iviin-bcrly were advancing prices for tlie btuucs in the luey considered the lise only a speculative one on the part of a tew merchants.

It was then the beginning of the trade's dull season, aud tbe increased value obtuineU ia the market were expected to dusap pear in a very short time. But tuey were mistaken in the prices, for instead ot diminishing they steadily advanced, laow something like a puuio has seized the Amsterdam people, and even small orders irom this country were refused. liudolph rseinhart' and Henry lloxwitz, of 17 Maiden Lane, heard from two of their correspondent yesterday. Mr. lieinhurdt iVris letter came from Leopold Schilf.

who told him emphatically that there was, extreme difficulty in filling Ntw York order at present, while 1. Herring, ot Amsterdam, wrote Mr. Horwit -that the market has advanced and goods are scarce. American traders have already left without purchasing goods, on account of tlie scarcity ot diamonds and the price exacted, ihe De tiers consolidated mine shares have jumped from 30 to 50 pounds, the Buifontcin from 7 pounds to Sat pounds, and the new Jagersfontein from l'j to HO pounds." These advances were looked uiin, yesterday, by some of the big Broudwuy and Maiden Lane dealers as the legitimate result of changed mining conditions at kimlierly. Harrison iMmtn, of Alfred Smith A' returned only a few days go Irom London.

There is no question of high prices being the rule; diamonds must grow dearer," he explained to a reporter yesterday. Tbere bve leen some big transactions, and shares have sold as high au 35 pounds sterling. Hut while a corner in the rough stones undoubtedly exists, still there is such a l' stock of gems floating in the market, that our New York dealer (should not be alarmed unnecessarily. For some time to come this country will be the place to buy diauaonds, as European prices are way up." Bernato cat Porges, who operate directly at the Cape, are cred.ted with working tha supply from one mine for $1,350,000, also purchasing it sixty, days' output for tfiV.i.tMjij more, while i'orge Quisle a similar move at a cost of $400,000, Such tranaictiens as these must naturally have their effect in increased phces for buyers. HANDSOME IMPROVEMENTS.

Hew the Gas Conapaay Will Adorn Its Property at Sixth aad Green. The temporary office of the Louisville Gas Company, at Sixth and Green streets, which wilt, soon bo begun, Vrill be patterned as much as possible after the design of the present cflieee of the company, that no inconvenience or lo, of time may follow the change. The new quarters will be finished about the middle of October, and the company will move in certainly October 13. On that date the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company wiQ take possession ot the old ofhees, to begin at once the handsome improvements. Tle Ga Company bx not decided just when the work of buiiu-ing tbe permanent quarters will begin, but the plans are arranged, and the construction will in all probability be commenced in the early spring, or even before that, if the winter is not too hard.

The specifications, which have about been accepted, will call lor one of the handsomest buildings in the city, and one which is calculated to greatiy enbance the value of all property in tlie neighborhood. It will be a general office building, and will be ot prpssed brick, aud gra.vstone trimmings, ani will have every convenience to hi found in the most desirable oltice buildings ot the Last. It will be six stone in height, admirably lighted on all sides, with particular attention to its veim-iHtion. It will face on Green street, and will be nearer to Center than. u.

A Mexican boy, who was bitten by a mad wsit in the San Dia mountains, died in great agony. The scene around thel little fellow DCU was eiianrenuiua. i be acted, like a wolf, and tbouih small it took ecvcrjil men to bold him don. He and his elder brother were playing a few yard Irom the house, when the wolf attacked them, lacerating their face and hand; the younger boy, however, receiving the deepest wound. A Mexican herder lassoed tbe wclf, throwing the maddened animal to the ground, but having ao knife, tightened the rope and strangled it to death.

It feared the other boy will die. Tea a aayraT4 arr a Btecbiwi'iPme 117 1 1 TTlvrun a a rv HALIiliiuo uUUU i i ASO sr it loicoiE ma i bush. AH SHOESFOR UEH All aar Hen's Taa aad Routt OsforeV and His-h shae at art sal Cflal) this Hee. ffe want the room. A MODEL $1,000 COTTAGE R.
