Mr. Cook asked that the hearing of the motien be postponed until to-day. Mr. Wells stated that If the gentleman would suspend for a few moments, he would have an affidavit affecting the case. Mr. Cook then said that he would then ask that the motion eo over as one entitled to notice since Mr. Wells"had such an affidavit. The court then postponed a hearing of the ease until to-day.. This affidavit is made by Mr. Wells hlmieir, and sets forth that "Isaac Chiids, the foreman of the pretended jury before whom the said Green was pretended to be tried, was heretofore, by the judgment or the Court or Oyer Terminer and neneraljall delivery, in and for the county Montgomery and the Commonwealth of '"nn STlvanii, the said court then and therrJJSf" jurisdiction thereof, tried and canvlet" "it. cti and by the Judgment orsatd court intTat hird to be imprisoned in soliiary ca,nlc,!l jud(r Ubor. for the space of thi&'?S,. mn.W,tJ "ZllW." tS War Department, certain pipej0f tho pr0vost marshal's office V !. raitrlet oi uoiumma, in wnicn it wa oroea thai V"iS 77i,rVT:r r 5 .iS,hi; bnt vr -r nTfbnlir nr RpnumhfF. bnt Was eXeiP.1. .OM.,.fT-ift -rh.inlnTa rrVArfifiSidfinatcemtor felony.

GEOEGErowJUWIVEHSItY. lecture by Hon. B. T. Herrick Before the law Cless. A lecture, the first of a course which he pro poses to give upon the subject or constitutional law, was delivered by the Hon. B. T. Merrick last evening to the law class or the above-named school. The lecturer rapidly traced the differ ence in national rtaraeter which fxisted between tho settlers or different sections or Ithlirauntry, and referred to the Hct that notwithstanding this these differences wer forgotten In tho war of the Itevoluticn. These had, however, to be re. ccsclled in the Constitution. This Instrument, It is said, vas Intended to provide for a government on the plan or the solar system, with the states as planets, ta-eb revolving in it j own orbit, and held in place by the I1S6 force?, centripetal and f entrifugaL ai2 the General Government as th Sen around which they mast all rir. He di nned the difference bet the Federal Consti tution and Stato rutut!ons, the former beinc; a grant of ierwhero none previously existed; the !'' limitation or power, therefore, deal ij.n negatives. tee lecturer expreseedtne opinion and belle! that there was ample power In the Constitution to suppress rebellion, and that he did not recog nize the war power outside of the instrument. The ordinances of secession were in opposition to the Constitution, and thererore the governments growing out or those ordinances could havo been suppressed. He said rurther that while opposed generally to amending the Constitution, yet he was in favor of the proposed Blaine amendment. First, because it made binding upon the States what now is binding upon Congress alone that no law forbidding the free exercise or religion should be passed, and second, because he was nt In ravor of diverting any portion of a general school fund for the benefit or any religious sect. That this amendment should pass, he thought both Catholics and Protestants were agreed. DisrEicr hoies. Sale cf Properly Under Tax-Lien Certificates. Mr. W. II. Glascott has been appointed by the District Commissioners to the position of operator or the fire-alarm telegraph. Collector Cock sold at auction yesterday the several pieces or property recently advortlsed to be sold under tax lien certificates, commencing at 12 o'clock m. and closing at 2 o'clock p. m.

At the Eleventh street wharf there are quite a dumber or association boats with oysters of virions grades, selling from 40 cents to $1.53 per tcsfce). The dealers also had ageod supply, consisting of two sloop loads and a load or extra fine rrom the Little river, via steamer Prince William. These were sold rapidly at good rates. The Potomac Ferry Company have taken the Eicaiueri,uj ci itasuiogton on tne line tempo rarily, and as a result travelers by that route were considerably Inconvenienced. Ihe Inland Navigation Company hivo just completed the erection of a splendid covered wharf at the loot of O and Seventh streets, which Is the finest ever built in this city. It seems, however, that it was built as much for ornament as ror use, as on Sunday night a number or com mission merchants who were expecting goods by the steamer were refused admission. To say that they growled would but filntly give ao Idea or their expressions. Probably It was a mlstako on the part cr the watchman. IHFORrAKr DECISION. The Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Esesiver hip. Yesterday morning a session or the United States Circuit Coart, Judge Bond presiding, was held In Alexandria.

The Metropolitan Presbyterian Can ich. The fifth in the series of religious meetings under Ue auspices of the Washington City Pres bytery was held last evening In Dr. Chester's church, on Capitol Hill. The audience was by far the largest yet In attendance since the meetings bexan,and amost serious spirit prevailed through. out the entire service. Eev. Mr. BIttlnger preached a sermon from Matthew 121, "Thou Shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people from their sins." He 'shoved the titles of our Saviour, and that among them all none Is more precious than this. He showed how Christ saves the slnnerrromtheguilt, the punishment and the corruption et sic, and made an earnest appeal to all who relt themselves sinners to come to him at once and find salvation. Other solemn services followed. In whieh Messrs. Parker, Nourse, Baadolph, Noble, Wills and others participated. The impression Is growing deeper and the connection stronger that out of these meetings a great spiritual blessing Is com. leg to the churches and the city. The next meeting of this kind will be held at the Assembly church, (Dr. Little's.) corner Firth and 1 streets northwest, next Monday eTenlng at 7:30 o'clock. All are earnestly Invited to attend. The Chriitmzs Festival at the le Droit Park Kindergarten. To quote the teacher's words to me: "This fes tival Is Intecded to impress upon the children's minds that It Is more blessed to give than to re coil e, end to Inspire them with self-respect by the gratification the parents evince jon the receipt or the Christmas gift each child had so lovingly prepared Tor them." This seemed to be the ruling Idea in all the exercises. The pleasant room was ornamented with bright leaves and pictures, and the Christmas tree shone with gaily braided matt, cornucopias and bookmarks woven by little fin gers. The most perlect order was maintained, and each little one seemed anxious only to please mamma. I could give your readers a programme with Its dialogue soles and German songs, bat I woald dwellmorc upon the spirit that seemed to govern the Kindergarten, truly the children's garden. B.

As anticipated, large and farhlesahle aa dlenee was assembled at the National theatre last evening to enjoy the beautiful play of "The Two Orphan'." The company, originally or ex eellMt auength and fine material, hare, by long association and constant practice, reduced the acting of the play to perfection,. end ai It pro gressed through the successive scenes pf the "Place Pent Neuff," or the Illuminated garden and terrace at Bsl-Alr, the private office or the Minister ot Police, the Place St. Sulpiee, Hen zlette's chamber, the great one of the Court-yard of the Prison La Salpetriere, and that of the Boat-house on the banks of the Biver Seine, the real Interest taken in it was more and more in tensified. The awful character or LsxFrochard receives, at the hands or Miss Amelia Harris, aa interpretation which leaven ; lasting impression upon all who wita it. The Two Orphans, Louise ' zienriette, are most tenderly and Mfaucally represented by Miss Ueorgle Langley and Mils Dolly Pike. Frank Evans, Pierre Frochard, the cripple, is wonderfully real, and so Is Porter's Jacques Frocbard, Pierre's unmer ciful brother. The same praise must be given to Mr. liver's Count de Liniare, and Mr. Boniface's Chevalier deVandrey. The lovely character or Sister Genevieve was beautifully presented by Miss Lizzie Maddern, and each and every role was satisfactory. It is a sad play in many re spects, and It makes stoat men as well as sym pathetic women cry. Sympathy, affection and nobility are its leading leatures, and It appeals to strongly to the heart It is no wonder it Is popu lar. We can very sincerely commend this week's amusement at the National to all patrons of theatrical amusement, IFord's Opera-Honit Victoria C. Woodholl. Next Monday evening Victoria C. Woodhull delivers at Ford's opera-house her new and startling oration, entitled "The True and False, Socially." Befined by fire and persecution; mis. understood and derided by the unthinking, and suffering for years under unjust obloquy, but with supreme courage holding every inch or her ground; baffling prejudice, outwitting all adver saries, and trusting in truth and justice, this re markable women Is to-day commanding the on- divided praise of men and the respect or the majority or women. Since she was here last she has made wonderful progress in beating oat into a smooth sea of opinion. That the is by far the most eloquent and powerful female orator In the world so one questions who is competent to Judge; that the Is a most agreeable and fascinat ing lady is equally true. She utters great truths, adrancisnewldeas.bututesno word whieh the most sensitive lady could object to. Her lecture here will be well attended. The Theatre Comique.

Mr. Wells urged the nccestlty or appointing commissioners, at the jury box was nearly completed. The Court, after consultation, appointed the following: W. Stick, ney. Augustus K. Perry, W. H. Tenney, John F. Cook and Joseph Shllllngton. The commission. ers In whose places these are appointed are John T. Mitchell, J. F. Cook, John Saul and Peter Bacon. There Is a question whether one, II not two, of the new commissioners can take the iron clad oath. Of Public Interest. For thirty yean there hat been nolmprorement in the composition or a porous plaster. The re cent discovery of Capclne and Its addition to an improved porous plaster has Introduced to the consumers and the public an article of progress. The objection to the ordinary article is Its slow action. BEXson's Carcins PoRors Plaster overcomes this great objection by effecting In a few hours what the ordinary porous plaster ac complishes in days and weeks of continuous wear. Besson's CxrcisE Poeous Plasters are pre ferred to all others on the following grounds: First Their composition is or an Improved na. tore, and combined with the recently discovered vegetable principle Cap clne which, as a powerful and unerring specific, hss never been equaled In tke history or true medicine. They operate with astonishing rigor, bnng almost Im mediate roller, and cure more speedily and with greater certainty than any known plaster, liniment or compound. Second They possess all the merit or the ordi nary porous plaster with above addition, and will cure all the various difficulties for which they have been esteemed In as many hours as the ordinary article effects in days and weeks of continuous wear. Third They are a genuine pharmaceutical pre paration, skllltally combined, of the highest order or merit, purely vegetable, contain neither metal nor mineral poisons, Indorsed by pbytlcians, and are in no sense a patent medicine.

There are two favorites here, who havo been such Tor years, and who gain as much approval to day as ever. They are actressc?, also, and ac tresses are apt to love applause for no better reason than because they have received It sooften. I alludcto the singers, Schneider and Theresa, who, though entirely different la appearance, manner and style, havo a strong and peculiar hold upon the popular prejudice, or sympathy, which is pretty much the same thing. Both arc pre eminently Parisian. They give back to this peculiar population what it has In itself; change when It changes; laugh when It laughs; resent whatsit resents, and, above all, exrrcss that combined vein of sentiment and cynicism which is sodcar to every Lutetian' heart as heartlcssness. They are so representative these two artists for they arc truly such that their antecedent?, character and the secret of their facinatlon are deceiving or consideration. iioetesse cathecim: sciineideb was born In Bordciux, as were Arsonlus, the Black Trlnce, Biehard II or England, Pope Clem ent V, Montaigne, Montesquieu, Berquln and Carle Vcrnct. She ought to have been dropped upon thcplanotatthcccnnre orthe wlno trade; for she lias the spirit and the flow or Mcdoc In her blood. She has, likcwlse.thcllcentlousncssor An sonlus, and the skepticism or Montaigne, but not the morals or Bcrquin nor the piety or Clement. She had a precocious talent for the stage, appear ing, when very young. In "Michael and Christina," at the Athcncc, in her native" city. Professor Schaliner gave her lessons, and then she went to Agca, and pjayed subordinate parts there for three years. Slio was advised to come to the capital, her friends and admirers declaring that only hero would she find a proper field for her high capac ity. She took tho counsel, and, alter trylnj In. Tain to get admission to tho Varieties, she was engaged At Tin: rorrrxs r-AiusiExa, and lied decided success. She appeared In "La Olcino Ear," Le Vloloneux," -Le Tho do Pal chlnelle,'' 'Sose do Saint Fleur," and other piece., and, alter a scafon or two, made her dobut at the -Varieties'' in "Le Chlen de Garde.'' Tho manager was very glad to secure her, as she had then gained a firm foothold, and had power to fill his pur) with car oleons. Tho Palais Bojal wanted her, and, outbidding the Varieties, she went over to It, earning tho greenest of laurels in "Lcs Ncmoires do Miml Eamboche,"' "Lh Beaute de Diable," and "Dante ct Ix Bciinc." By this timo her rollicking srj le. HER DEVILTnr, her crn!-ccntlmcntal license had rendered her f.t incus, ami all tho managers were contending for her.

BcnsEiDrr.'a greatest Tr.icMrn hap been In "La Grande Duchcsse." She created tho title part, and all who have undertaken It sinco have imitated her more or less. Tostee, 3Iontalaml and Aimer, who liavo been In the United States, havo modeled their Duchess on hers; but, Oh, what a difference there Is between hers end theirs! You can hardly conceive, with out seeing and hearing it. She has sung the role nearly a thousand times, and yet tho public Is not tired r It. On the contrary, the announcement that sho Is to do tho Duchess Imariablv fills the house. During the Exposition year she first performed the part, and It was an auspicious tlmo for her. She charmed all the natrons. The Spaniards swore by her, the Italians shouted bravo until they were hoarse, the Germans drank beer In Iicr honor, the English drawled out her praises, with you know, by Jove." at the end of each Inartlcu. late sentence; the liusslans acted the fool In her behalf, and the Americans sent her valuable pre sents. She was a veritable llonne here. In 1887. All eyes followed her In the Bols. She acknowl edged the manifold smiles and hand-kisses as if herunknown admirers were her subjects. She attracted more attention than Eugenic, and the Empress, a a ery pretty and elegant woman then, actually relt anno ed at her neglect for what sho called the brazen cocotle. A coon deal si-oiled. The engaging llortcnsc was a good deal mh!1' in those d.is, but she bore the spoiling withrtit serious cunequence.

No doubt her capacity ror allectlon Is overrated; that men are credited with her ravors whom sho has never seen. Still, that sho is rather miscella neous In her attachments must bo confessed. It is to be feared, moreover, that gold more than symi athy wins her: that she Is. as I heard a New Sorter recently express It. in his American French, r nirrcmfiii aur le aire. Tho famous boufic artist Is ALLI.-P.1XO TO THE MCLT1TCDE, because t-lio In a piquant indecoram. She por trns what they are thinking of and privately enjor. She Is not exactly coarse, but she Is bc witcningly Immodest. She laughs virtue out of countenance: she makes old-fashioned folks afraid to say that they still have a Mas In favor or mor ality; she appeals to the worst that is In us with a presentment or the least bad. To sec her, night after night, is to loso esteem for conventionality and revel In a prospect or a soft sensuality. She raps ethical systems by ex citing the blood; she pots philosophy to flight by moving nature to rebellion. A scholarly semi secular priest, who says Mass at the Pantheon, told me one day that he used to think Paris was going to Topbet: but after he heard Schneider, he lelt sure that It had gone. She is a leering devil. In sooth, but she ein bodies tbe world of Paris as it Is to-day. T11KKL8A is usiqcE. She is more Farisan than Schneider, jshedraws like gravitation; yet I question Ifshe would com. menu audiences outside or France, sho would hardly be appreciated orunderstood by foreigners. Her real name Is Emma Valadon, and sho camo here rrom the dejnrtmcnt or Eurctt Loire, which is called the granary or the capital. She is not pretty, nor docs sho Imagine herseir to be; there fore, she frankly tells her age. Sho was born April SS, 1SS9. which makes her nearly thirty-six, or five) ears the junior of the L) ueen orthe Bouffes. she has been In tho capital since 1S4, and she Is more artistically captivating (mysterious as this Is) than she was when sho first Hashed Into repu tation. IN A SHOP. On her arrival she had no Idea oi being a pro fessional singer, though she had sung all her file. She went into a shop, and was glad to earn sixty francs a month. Good-natured, except when crossed, and disposed to accommodate, eho soon became-popular. While sho was at work she caroled In her peculiar way, and was surprised to see that the other girls, and even tbe men OX the establishment, stopped to listen to her; that sometimes the brought the tears to tbclr eyes. "Who taught you to sing"?" inquired her em ployer, after a while. "Nobody: I have always sung. It docs no harm, does It?" "I like it exceedingly, "BCT WBE- TOtJ 81X0 ICOnODT WOKKS. "Your voice will bring you far more money than you can cam here." She then asked several critics to listen to her, ard lhcy declared that thcy.had heard nothing like the strange melody sbo uttered. Sho was finally engaged at the El Dorado, a cafo chan taut, and In a few weeks the place would not con. tain the throng. Persons went who had never gone before the wealthy, tbe distinguished, the learned, the titled. They were charmed why, they could not tell: They must have her In the salons, and they did; for two or three winters she gave entertainments in the most fashionable circles, amid ranturons nnnlause.

For any manager to engage her now Is to be sure of sue- -4 cess. Sho rises In value every season. She is worth at this moment 5,000 francs a week, and her fortune is estimated at 1,000,000 francs, (t30O,OO0L) She Is reported to be remarkably virtuous, ror a Parisian actress. She has bat one lover at a time, and she has had only one for four years. What a marvel ! Not strange she draws. AT TIMES SHE IS SntJDDET.IXGLY COAESE.

THE DYIHG YEAB. iiv William v. nontr.TSox. 17 Over the smouldering embers dim. That struggled to live on his cheerless hearth. The Old Year bowed him, silent and grim. Conning his life from Its radiant birth. Out were the lights In his halls or state; No warder stood by the hingelcss door; From his fallen fortunes, disconsolate, Tho glory had fled forevennorc. But high were the revelries held below. Under his feeble and palsied head; Scanty respect for him they show What to the living are dying or dead? But watch they keep by the castle gate, A bright lookout on the midnight drear; They welcome a monarch to high estate. They wait hit coming, the glad New Year! II. Neither heeds nor hears the graybeard hoar Tbe din his former lieges keep; Cold Is the blast through the open door The Old Y'ear nods, as If asleep. Well may he sleep! his course is run; He has sewed his fickle courtier's day A monarch dethroned, his work is done In cold neglect let him pass away! But he rouses at last, as tho tolling bell Proclaims that the night is waning fitst. And the echoing sounds ring his dying knell He and his belong to the shadowy Past, And crouched in the shade of his lonely bier. Over tho smouldering embers dim. He faintly mnrmers, with none to bear But himself. and the poet and darkness grim. "Merry times I've seen In these darkened halls: Youth and Beauty with gladness gay Since first I waited beneath the walls, Bright with the glory of New Year's day. Yet many tho dimmed and saddened hours many the moments of wild regret! Faded and dead are the amaranth flowers. Too scentless to cherish, too dear to forget. BraTO hopes hac been strangled by ruthless might. Love has grown cold in many a breast; Dear ones arc sleeping in endless night; Hearts arc aching in cold unrest. What matters It now? I wait alone. Unloved, unwept, for the final end. Who waits to hear my dying moan? Who at this time is the Old Year's friend?" Bright gleamed the lights on the winter snow, Music arose In an anthem clear; Wild the tumult they raised below. And I knew they welcomed the glad New Year. The bells rang out on the frosty air, Clear and sweet In a matin hymn. The clock struck twelve, and the dead Old Year Breathed out his Hie with the embers dim. I covered his faco with the darksome pal), I stretched his limbs on the lonely bier For he.gave me hopes I would fain recall. And to me at least was the Old Year dear. Bnt I hurried with speed to the revels below Who'll blame If we bury In haste the past? It gave us much and wc love it so! But the kaiser by rights, alter all, is the last: v.

Prince Bismarck hat been visited by a heavy blow in his family Count Wend zu Enlenberg, a promising mem ber or the Fotclgn Office, who only a few months ago was affianced to Countess Mary Bismarck, the only daughter of the Chanesllor, died suddenly yesterday morning of congestion or tbe lungt, after having happily recovered from an attack or typhoid. The deceated wat a young man or great abilities, coupled with personal amiability. He has ror many years been Inti mately acquainted with Bismarck's family. Alter having passed his State examination the Impe rial Chancellor called him to hit side and Intrust ed him with Important missions, which were all faithfully and satisfactorily executed. During the tummer an alliance was agreed upon between him and the Countess Mary, a young lady of a sweet and lovable disposition. "When on a visit to Varzin, Blsmarck't favorite country teat, the Count fell 111 of typhoid lever. At toon as the Illness permitted of it he was transported to the house cf his parents, which he was destined never again to leave alive. The fever, of a most obsti nate character, was only subdued by degrees, owing to a relapse caused by a dietary fault. However, In the course of last week the physi cians expressed decided hopes or a complete re coveryan Intimation naturally producing great Joy In the home or tbe Chancellor. Even at a soiree given on Saturday evening by Bismarck to the members or the Belchstag the Prince at well as his daughter pronounced their satisfaction at tho progress made by the patient. cocstxss Manr, wlo was kept from the bedside other future hnsband by the contagion 0 f the disease, denoted aliOLher pleasure at belngnale tor the nrst time to-morrow to pay her betrothed a visit, little dreaming she would tee him no more alive. On Sunday morning, about 3 o'clock, the doctor In attendance heard aloud, violent rattling in the throat ol the sufferer, and Immediately admin istered a restorative, but without effect. Oaly a few more hours ot life were granted the Count, At 6 o'clock on the 5th of December ho expired, to the unutterable grief of his parents.

His father holds a high Govern ment appointment; line or his brothers Is Chltf President ol Hanovur, and another Lord High Chamberlain to the Crown I'rinej. He served In the last war with distinction as officer In the King's Hnzzars, and probably daring tbe campaign the seeds or hit Illness were sown. The distress or the Chancellor at the lost or Count Wend, towbom ha wat much attached, It laid to have been Terr great- On Sunday he Tinted with hit daughter the deceased-and wat with dlfntulty removed from the bier.

The engagement of the young couple made a disagreeable sensation last summer among arts tocratla circles on account of -the bride using tho child of a parvenu. It it area related that the officers or the Gardtt du Corps, In which Count Eulenbertc stands at lieutenant, procounoed their greatest displeasure at the Intended nvtaUtanct, and signified their intention to break off all inter course with him. On Count Eulenburg's hearing; or these expressions he challenxed several or his comrades. The affair came before the court at Hanover, and only the personal Intervention cf the Emperor prevented a bloody duel. The wounded pride or the regiment was tttlsCad by Count Eulenburg being removed a year rrom Berlin and commissioned to the riding school In Metz. Before entering upon hit new position he was received by the Emperor, who expressed hit approval of the manly conduct displayed by him on that oeo Hon. tub j-AiTtiTCTsrESS or tub cocirr cannot be ranch wondered at; for tbe young lady he ht t telteted as bride Is or unusual attractions, and belongs to the ornaments or Berlin society.
