The decision which has just been delivered by the United States Supreme conrt in the Pacific National bank cases ia of interest to every holder of national bank stock. The cases arise oat oi a suit brought by the re ceiver of the insolvent Pacific National bank of Boston against John P. Delano to enforce the latter's liability as a holder of sixty shares of the bank's stock, including thirty shares of so-called "new stock," created by an increase in the bank's capital made by resolution of its directors in the autumn of 1881. Delano admits the ownership of thirty shares, bat contests his liability upon the other thirty shares, which comprise a part of the new or increased stock. Delano contends that he was not at the time of the appointment of the receiver, nor at any time, the holder of sixty shares of the stock ot tne bank, bnt was in tact ana in law a holder of only thirty shares thereof. He contends that the attempt on the part of the directors and the comptroller of the currency in December, 1881, to fix the capital stock of the bank at $961,300 was contrary to law and void ; that the alleged thirty shares of stock on which he is sned never had any le gal existence, and that he by virtue of his subscription in September, 1881, for thirty shares of the then proposed increase of capi tal from $500,000 to $1,000,000 and by his other acts never became liable on account of the debts of the Pacific National bank be yond his liability as the holder of thirty shares of valid stock. The eonrt says he is liable on account of the new stock. A part of the opinion is as follows: Whatever hardship there may be in the circumstances of the case, this conrt is unable to discover any ground of equitable relief. If the assessment was applied by the officers of the bank to the satisfaction of its debts there ia nothing to show that it was done ratably as required by section 5,151. The assessment was not paid by the stock holders for the purpose of effecting liquida tion of the affairs of the bank, bnt was un derstood to be the price paid for continuing its business in the hope of saving their in vestment. If it was paid under a mistaken supposition that in the event of future fail ure nothing more could be required of them, there is nothing to show that the sharehold ers were led into the mistake by any misrep resentation eitherjof fact or law on the part of the creditors for whose benefit the receiver is now acting. The mistake, if any, is one for which each shareholder is alone responsi ble. EDITORIAL MOTES. The weather was much clearer than the political situation yesterday. It is now asserted that the talk about the oleomargarine tax law has served to advertise bogns batter, and that the demand for and sale of the product are rapidly increasing. A house of straw is now being constructed in Philadelphia, to be shipped to England and erected on the grounds of the American exhibition in London. It is an American suburban villa of the most approved archi tectural design, two and a half stories high and covering a space 42x50 feet. It is built entirely of material manufactured from straw straw timbers, straw lumber, straw sheet ing, straw flooring and straw decorations, the inside finish being of very handsome de sign, executed in imitation of rosewood, ma hogany, oak, walnut and ash. The many uses f onnd for wire netting have led to its greatly increased production of late years. In 1843 its consumption in Europe is stated to have been only ten thousand yards per annum, while at the present time it is estimated to be about forty million yards per annum. In its production some foar hundred and twenty machines are em ployed, three hundred of which are in oper ation in Great Britain, one hundred in France and only twenty in Germany, which latter country, curiously enough, is a large producer of wire UBed in the manufacture of netting in Eugland. Eev. Dr. Phillips Brooks of Trinity church, Boston, preached on Sunday a very earnest sermon on the movement begun at Chicago for setting np the Protestant Episcopal church as the "American Catholic Church," or something else which implies that it is the only trne, legitimate chnrch of Jesus Christ in the United States. Dr. Brooks held that the claim of apostolic succession gave the Episcopal church no right to claim a monop oly of ecclesiastical functions, but he found that among the clergy there was a disposition to force this issue, and unless the laity comes out more strongly than it has done in the past, Dr. Brooks declares "it is absolutely certain that in a few short years our chnrch will have taken its place, crowned with a name like this, among the little denomina tions of the country. It will doom our chnroh to become the churoh of a little fan tastic sect." - Some interesting facts concerning educa tion have jnst been published by the French minister of public instruction. The number of primary public schools in France at the present moment is 66,323, an increase of 527 compared with last year, and private schools 13,042, or an increase of 142. The number of scholars in the public primary schools is 4,503,530, and private schools 1,- 077,857. In 1871 the number of persons in France unable to read or write was 35 to 40 per cent. In 1885 the number of couples who was able to sign their certificate of marriage were 88.6 per cent, for the men, and 78.3 for the women. The average num ber of army recruits now able to read and write is 89.4 per cent. These and other fig ures supplied by official returns show that education among the masses is making great progress in France. The Boston Globe gives this account of the birth of Mrs. Partington, the funny old wo man whose remarks have pleased many. One evening the news cams to the Post newspa- v1 offico that flour was at veT gn prices L luw jxiaicuuieu -lbiuuub, iu uie uruif of St. Lawrence. Said George Bailey, one of Shillaber's fellow comiositors: "I don't care what the price is in the Magdalen Is lands, I always have to give so much for half a dollar's worth." The idea struck Shillaber as odd, and he immediately set up the lines: "Mrs. Partington says she always noticed that, whether flour was dear or cheap, she had invariably to pay the same money for half a dollar's worth." The paragraph was generally copied by other newspapers the next day, and a second paragraph pub lished the following day was equally well re ceived. Encouraged by these successes Mr. Shillaber'continned to write such quaint paragraphs and other matter as have since made him famous. The extent to which celluloid is now util ized as a substitute in the arts and industries is something remarkable. The material is produced in rods, tubing, sheet and rolls, and among its varied manufactured forms are brushes, combs, mirrors, and toilet arti cles in imitation of ivory, coral, and amber; collars and cuffs, jewelry, corkscrews, card see, soap cases, powder boxes, paper knives, thimbles, - restaurant checks, shoe hooks and horns, napkin rings, mouthpieoes for pipes, parasol, umbrella and cane han dles, etc, in imitation of coral, ivory, malac hite, tortoise shell, amber, lapis lazuli, agate, carnelion, etc. ; piano keys and organ stop knobs, in imitation of ivory; white and col ored letters for signs, monograms, and trade marks; stereotype plates and type and wood cats, moaldings and veneers for picture frames, showcases, cornices, panels, etc., in white colors; mountings for spectacles, eye glasses, opera glasses, etc., substituting and imitating hard rubber, horn, tortoise shell, etc.; handles for table cutlery, plates for ar tificial teeth, trimmings, whip handles, and cases; statuettes, rollers for skates, spoons, forks, etc. This list might be indefinitely extended in the line of things alike useful and ornamental, the claim, being also made that the substitute is better adapted for those purposes than is the original material.

Fiction and Crime. fFrom the Saturday Review. A very grave thing is the sanguinary tone of so much French story writing. There is an obvious love of describing the brutality for its own sake and laboriously inventing the details of hideons murders. Along with this criminal fiction there is a development of cime which is almost unparalleled, and it is impossible not to see a connection between the two. Some time ago it was calculated that in one month murders had been commit ted, or at least attempted, at the rate of rather more than one a day. Since then the record has been well kept np. One assassination follows another, and they are adorned with a degree of art which seems to indicate the existence in the mind of the murderer of a certain feeling of emulation. Whenever a ruffian makes his mind ud now to kill his mistress he seems to cast abont for the most striking and public way of doing it, as if he wished to see whether he or the author oi the last tale of horror had the livelier imagi nation. Taking tne Starch Ont or an Orator. From the New Orleans Picayune.1 George Sheridan was once addressing a meeting in New Orleans to denounce Wil liam Pitt Kellogg. He made a long and pow erful speech and wound it up with a perora tion ot siugularly vivid force. 1 can t recall his words, bat here is the substance of them : 'If every drop of water that flows through the mighty Mississippi from its icy source in the far northwest were turned into golden coin and the whole vast flood were emptied at my feet, I would not consent to stand in the shoes of William Pitt Kellogg. If every grain of shining sand along the shore oould be transformed into a glittering diamond as large as a walnut and as pure as air, and the hole boundless wealth tnus represented could be cast down in one great mountain before me, I wonld not take the bribe to change places with William Pitt Kel logg." Just here a man standing right in tront or the platform called out, " You're a liar, George! You'd weaken." Tne meeting adjournea. Soar Peas. From the London News.l Your amusing story about Lord Halifax and his "sour port" reminds me of one which just as curiously illustrates the amusing un familiarity of some emigrants with the per verted tastes of their betters. I was chatting with the captain of an Allan Liner at sea a cOapie of years ago, when there approached a deputation of North of Ireland emigrants. They came to complain of an "extraordinary mess" which that day had been served in the steerage for dinner. The spokesman was a voluble person, who interlarded the narrative of his grievance with easy familiar allusions to the powers and terrors of the Board of Trade when these were exercised in the cause of the "poor emigrant." "Bring up the dish," said the captain to the steerage steward. A large kid of boiled leg of mutton with caper sauce, still hot and appetizing, was produced. "What's the matter with this?" asked the commander, evidently pnzzled, as the Allan steamers rank deservedly high for the man ner in which their Bteerage passengers are victualled. "What's wrong here?" he added. "Shure, need ye ask?" replied the head of the deputation, pointing with an expression of horror to the little green berries in the suo culent sauce. "Do yoa think emigrant pas sengers are hathens aud bastes, that yoa should give us mutton stewed with soar peas?" It tooK some time to explain to the deputa tion that "sour peas" really formed a much- esteemed complement of boiled leg of mutton; but the spokesman, though evidently con scious that he andhis friends had incontinent ly come to cut a "quare caper" or their own, retired with dignity from the conflict. "A caper,ye call it," he said, "be jabers, captain, ye can kape it for the saloon. We'll have our mutton clane in future." But the story told against the deputation in the steerage, where a moiety of the emigrants voted the uinner At ana so tne malcontents were known for the rest of the voyage as "sour peas." Lord Dudley's oddity. From Sir Francis Doyle's Reminiscences. Some years before (his last illness) he was the guest of a connection of mine, the late was aunt by marriage to the Mrs. Cunliffe Offley. Mrs. Cunlieff beautiful daughters of Sir Richard Brooke On coming into the room Lord Dudley asked at once after the lovely Miss Brooke (the present Lady Meath), who durin g the previ ous season had taken all hearts by storm. Mrs." Cunliffe answered: "I suppose you mean Harriet. She is now at home,but Mary, her sister, is with me this year in her place and among ourselves we think Mary, though her beauty is of a different kind, quite as handsome as Harriet." "I dare say," retort ed Lord Dudley, in a regular fume, "that is always the way with you women, if there is one pretty girl among a lot of sisters you will try to poke the rest o them down our throats over her back." Mrs. Cunliffe, being an old friend, and well aware of the Dudley eccen tricities, was not much moved by this some what rough contradiction, observing only: Well, it's nothing to me. Lord Dudley but that is our opinion; agree with it or not as you please, and now we had better go to din ner." To dinner they went, and Lord Dudley. sitting opposite the new beauty, very soon began to talk to himself and to employ ex pressions which, as Punch would say, he might just as well have kept unuttered. "Confound the old jade, I almost think she is right after all; damn the old hag, she is indeed." "What are you talking about, Lord Dudley?" was the iiot unnatural in quiry. 'Well, Mrs.. (Jumiffe, you see it had just passed through my mind that your opinion as to Miss Brooke's beauty is quite justified, aud I suppose that I have been saying to my self how thoroughly I agree with yoa." After that, of course, there was nothing to be done except to stop that sort of conversation as soon as possible. Killed By a Pet Bear. From the Cleveland Leader. A little girl named Bosa Doernbrock met with a horrible death yesterday morning. Her father, Henry Doernbrock, keeps a sa loon. Next to Doernbrock's place is Patrick Curran's saloon and restaurant. In the rear of Cnrran's place are a number of small sheds, and in one of them he has kept a pet bear. The animal was abont three years old and weighed 250 pounds. .The bear's temper was not always good, but Curran frequently played with him, and always regarded him as perfectly tame. Outside of the shed used as the bear's den is a small enclosure about eight feet square, and the animal's chain was long ! enough to allow him the exercise. Yesterday little Bosa Doernbrock, who is i only two and one-half years old, escaped the watchfulness ot her parents, and went to the back yard. She approached too near the bear, and the beast sprang npon her. As the little one was crushed to the earth under his big paws, she uttered a piercing scream. Mrs. Doernbrock and a man named Hoffmann heard it and ran out of the block. A horri ble sight met their eyes. The bear stood over the senseless child literally devouring her. Hoffmann seized a board, and jumping over the low fence into the inclosure, dealt the animal a terrific blow, which stunned him. The child was tenderly carried into the house, bnt she was so terribiy injured that she died before medical aid could be secured. Police Sergeant Bradley arrived soon after the oc currence and arrested Curran for manslaugh ter. It is claimed that he was guilty of crim inal carelessness in keeping the animal in such as insecure place. Last spring the animal bit a man and Doernbrock chased the bear back into the shed. Curran stated to the coroner that he owned the bear tor two years and did not consider him dangerous. He had once bitten a man, but the fellow teased him until he was angry. Coroner West returned a verdict of death from effects of the wounds made by the bear, bnt did not hold anyone responsible. Sergeant Bradley killed the animal at Cnrran's request. Cur ran feels very badly over the occurrence and states that he will make all reparation in his power to the bereaved family. He was bailed out of prison and will have a hearing this morning in the police court. "Joe" Brown and "Bob Toombs. "Carp" in the Cleveland Leader. Another story I lately heard of Senator Joseph Brown relates to his quarrel with Bob" Toombs, which liked to end a duel, but which failed because Toombs did not send the challenge. Brown has a great repu tation all over Georgia for being a very strict Christian. He has been noted as a temper ance man, and he is always to the front in any religious movement. Some of the old women in Georgia expect to see Brown trans lated some day, and it is said that he can make as good a religious exhortation as he can a Btump speech. Well, when Toombs was at one time especially angry at Brown he sent a military friend of his to ask Brown whether there was anything in his religion which would prevent him from accepting a challenge. Brown received the strutting colonel and listened to his question, looking him in the faee with his cold gray eye and stroking his long gray beard as he did so. As the col onel concluded Brown's big month opened I like a trap, and he slowly and articulately said: 'I have canvassed my religious beliet and have come to the conclusion that you may tell General Toombs that I can really find nothing either in it or myself that will pre vent me receiving a challenge from him at any time or under any conditions. I shall indeed be most happy to oblige him in any way which he shall see fit to ask." The colonel said good day and left Brown, and for some time the duel hung fire. During this time it is said that Brown was busy six hours out of the twelve firing marks with a Winchester rifle, and that he finally got the aim to such perfection that he could snuff a candle abont eight times ont of ten. Toombs, for this reason or some other, failed to re spond, and the matter dropped, but the Congressman who told me the above story asserts it as his belief that had the duel come off Brown would have killed Toombs with no more compunction than that he exhibits when he carves one of his enemies on the senatorial floor. Character In Handwriting. From the St. Nicholas. There are people who claim to read men's characters from their handwriting. As the writing of every nation is distinguished by certain strong national peculiarities, it is easy for an expert to decide to what nation a writer belongs. Having settled that, cer tain large characteristics which are common to all men, but in different degrees, can l e seen in every handwriting. A certain num ber of men are calm, even-lived, sensible and practical. Men of that class are almost certain to write plain, round hands in which every letter is distinctly legible; neither very much slanted forward nor tilted back ward; no letter very much bigger than its neighbor, nor with heads much above or tails much below the letters not so distin guished; the letters all having about the same general uprightness and the lines trne to the edges of the paper, neither tending upward nor downward. Exact, business like people will have an exact handwriting. Fantastic minds revel in quirks and stream ers particularly for the capital letters, aud this quality is not infrequent in certain busi ness hands, aa if the writers found a relief from the prosaic nature of their work in giving flourishes to certain letters. Firm, decided, downright men are apt to bear on the pen while writing and to make their strokes hard and thick. On the contrary people who are not sure of themselves and are lacking in self-control press unevenly and with anxious looking, scratchy hands. Ambitions people are apt to be overworked; they are always in haste and either forget to cross their t's or dot their i's. They are also apt to run the last few letters of every word into an illegible scrawl. Flurried, troubled and conscience-twinged persona have a crabbed and uneven handwriting. Catarrh Is a constitutional disease, caused by scrofu lous taint in the blood. Hood's Sarsaparilla, being a constitutional remedy, purines the blood, builds up the whole Bystem, and per manently cures catarrh.
