There is yet time to hear a last remark or two, on the part of the counsel on both sides, and still a chance left for the filing of a few more yards of one-Bided oaths. This is a hard cabe. If the people involved were people of small influence. there would be indictments for perjury. There are etatements in the affidavits thee do not merely disagree; one side affirms on oath matters of fact that differ so directly from the ailinfeations of the other as to leave no doubt that there is willful perjury somewhere.

The language used by counsel has been bitterly personal. Matt. Finch's speech was invective from beginhing to end. The merits of the case seem to itave been lost sigiit of in the ill feeling of political parties. As a counterblast to Finch's vituperative efforts, your correspondent preserves a note of part of the Hon.

seinfield Smith's speech for the defendants, which is worth preserving. The gentleman conclacied by saying that defendants were charged with contempt of this order. lie had a sincere respect for the courts he bowed in adoration before the majesty of justice. Ile esteemed it his highest pride teat be was a member of the noble profession whose 1 function it Le to secure unpolluted and unbiased justice. Ile described the regard in which he hold the profeesion, and the disgust with which he viewed any practices caleniated to prostitute it to improper uses.

He caarecterized the order issued by Jared Thomson as a scaadel to jubilee. He bad no ill-feeling for any of the parties or counselleast of all for the uutortuoate ream who was seduced into signine this order better for him that be hal had a millstone around his neck and been cast into the sea, than he had so disgraeee and degraded himself. Ile called on the Court to place the seal of its condemnation upon this open breach of judicial Morality. He contrasted the character of the boneet Judge, to-mot-able among all men. and held in the highest esteem by the Bar, with that of the functionary who prestitutes Ins high duties to low influeneee, and yielde to base temptetion or secret influence.

The almiration due to the good Judge is equalled only by the contempt deeerved by him who forgets his responsibilities and hs duty. He God that this, as it was the firet seminal of the kind with which the Court has had to deal, should also be the last. The case is resumed Monday. LET ES LOOK AT DOME 11-113T. Father tionzago, one of the old-stele Indian missionaries, who has settled among the tribes of Noithern Minnesota, is down this way asking money in aid of his labors.

He draws a pitiful pictare of his Indians. making out they have been suffered to starve by the neglect of the Indian Agents, who pocket about a year, each. out of their necessities. Friday morning, Edward Nugent, an old man, was found dead at the font of the staircase of a building on me of our principal streets. This man bad no other means'of living than eating such serape as he could snatch at the free-lanch counters of the saloons.

A 80ARING YUMAN BOY. A boy named Hugh Hereins, 14, whose father and mother are dead. who knows camperativele nothing, and lives on the scanty earn-tales of two poor half-sisters. stole 15 cente off a saloon and was sent to the Reform School, to remain there until 21 years of age. On receiving the sentence the impertinent showed as much feelirg as an educated human boy he fell to the floor in a fit.

Ha has beon removed to the hospital, where the feeble spark of life, like a lamp fed with water, has been flickering. As his half-sis- ters eernestle pray to zhave his custody, he will probably be pardoned and given over to them. Last week we dedicated a school-house that cost C1000. and the authorities still report about half the youthful population roaming about the etreets to follow in the footsteps of this soaring human boy.

Less than a year ago a few sportsmen livingin the West Division, deeirous of acting in coucert with view to making some arrangements that ehould be convenient with reference to their locality, organized the thin Club.

They gave it a brief and uppretending name, not thipling then of the prominence it wa8 to attain.

and beating the Kounicott team by two birds, while the tieueseo quintet scored Cel, and the Prattles 63. The medal for the best individual score was else carried off by Mr. Wilcox, who made in the tournament the record, almost unparalleiel for an amateur, of 45 straient, one-half double and one-halt single rises. 'The fail- ure to win the State medel wss a bitter disep- pointineet to the Eennicott Club, which had confidently calculated upon poeseseing the elegant trophy. They still iordet teat it wis hard luck that beat them, cud in proof of the aseertion point to the fact that one of the best men of their team mot at least four birde below his lowest averatte seers, whereas they were beaten but two birds.

Whatever post-mortem explaose Lion Of their defeat the Ketinicotts can farnieh to console themselvee withal, the fact remains that the Gun Club fairly won the emblem of club superiority, and they are prepared to maintain it, though the medal is the Club's permanent property, and is not subject to challenge.

Miewenuee, Jan. 15.The past week has been unusually quiet in social circles. The pace at which belles and beaux have been going since the eveniug of the 24th of last December could not last, and bon-ton is taking tonics and sleigh rives, aud long watches between the sheets, before making a fresh start. If the entertainments have Leeu few, one of them wee so far and away beyond anything of the kind heretofore seen this season, that it will long be remembered as an event of extraordinary brilliancy, that more than compensates for the general slacking up. It was a full-dress party given by George W.

Over 10O invitations bad been letsued, and a majority of the invited were preseut. Large as Mr. Allen's mansion is, it was fille'd in every part.

Such a blaze ta, beauty and diamonds. velvets, satins, eiels, 'and laces. has probably never been surpassed anywhere, not even at the celebrated Tytus parting ball, which was supposed to top over everything hitherto attempted in the Northwest. In the display of toilettes and costly gems, it is impoesiblo to conceive of refined taste and wealthy caprice going further than at this Allen evening party. The supper was in keeping with the high character of the rert of the entertainment, and Conroy superintended at the bead ot a corps of trained and deaterous waiters.

zatAKAVA'S YIKT. The reception of Meg Kalakana at the Lynda mansion was very quiet. but ia perfect taste and very elegant. There is probably not a matron in the United States who understands better bow to preside with dignity, as well as grace and hospitality, at the Lead of a large establishment, than Mrs. William Pitt Lynde, whose name is deeply graven in the hearts of thousands of the poor and long-eufferieg as that of st true friend and comforter in the hour of need, and steeds in the front rank of the creme de la creme of Milwaukee society.

The boarding-house goseips are in a state of ecttacy over a charming tid-bit of scandal. A sweet voupg moisel of a wife Las connections at Washington. The other day, a gentleman who Las the reputation of being quite a lady-killer went to Washington on some lousiness or other, and on his return little tootsy-ootsy etpressed a desire to call on the gentleman for news of her relatives, he having promised to visit them. The husband was terribly excited, first because his wife bad evidently been in secret communication with the gentleman second. because she had become so lost to all sense of her moral degradation as to peaty proclaim her desire to visit an avowed roue without the company of her natural protector third, on general principles.

The gentleman swore, the lady sobbed, her mamma protested, and es soon as my lord went to his work in the city my lady and the dowager walked off to the lady-killer's thee. My lord, smelling a mouse, in the meantime returned to the late bower ot bliss, and found his hearthstone desolate and happiness basted. Instead of slaying the destroyer of hie wines innocence. be packed up his trunk and went offHeaven only knows wnere. The wife has had a rough time with her jealous husband.

She is as pare as driven snow, and he is simply a foolish, affectionate fellow, too prone to listen to the green-eyed demon. They'll live to laugh about it yet; and tell the tale as a warning to their grandchildren. RUB-A-DUB-DUB. The sturdy veterans of the Twenty-sixth Infantry, W. S.

Never has thieving been carried on to such an alarming extent in this locality as it has during the past fortnight. The polioe force in this part of the city is very email, and when a policeman is about it is in broad daylight when his servicee are not wanted.

Taesday morning about 4 o'clock two men entered a new house on Oa tt avenue, and cut out all tho lead pipe, and also broke up all the marble waeh-howle in attempting to get out the pipe. They were foiled in the attempt, as a gentleman happened to be pestling by at that hour and beard a noise inside of the building, and sent up to an open window Jun as the thieves were making an exit, whereupon he struck ono over the head, and, after ooneiderable trouble, overpowered the thief and held him until a policemau came by, who took hire to the station, the other one making good his escape. A house on Thirty-seventh street was entered in the came way, and despoiled of the precious pies."

He also pretended to be the son of a well-known Baptist clergyman in this part of the city. In this way Do succeeds in wincing the eentidence of his intended victim, thereby secuxing a quicker Bele.

On Langley and Cottage Grove avenue, bur-glees have beau doing "double daty" the last few evenings. A policeman said a short time ago that two was the quietest place of the city, and that it did not require the services of the police force. Thieves are aware of this fact and are "acting accordingly." The young people of Ellis Park are now ere gatizing a Literary Society and Social Club. The Park is a good place to organize such an intitutiea, as there is of talent so run such an enterprise successfully. Everybody going past Thirty-first street has no doubt observed men in the act of eetching snowbirds with a snare.

After they haee caught a satlicieut quantity. they take item ie) the city and dispose of them to reetanrants, eeei use them to fill the place of quail on toast."
