WASHINGTON LETTER. Washington , D. C. , Jan. 18 , ' 85. It may not be generally known or be licved that Chief Justice Waite will nev er again preside over the deliberations of the Supreme Court , butl have it fron undoubted authority that the'Chief Jus tice is afflicted with softening of the brain , and you know what that means. The fact that the Judges of this court are overworked cannot be gain-saycd , for they work nearly all the time and are still at jeast three years behind in the preparations of the opinions in cases that involve not only vast financial interestb but grave constitutional questions. The Chief Justice is anxious to get to work again , but his associates know too well what is the matter , and they have in formed him that as they can carry every thing that is now pending without diffi culty , he had best remain at home and rest up. iAlr. Waite is not much above sixt } , and Judge Taney was thirty years his senior when he retired from the bench. Judge Nelson was seventy-sev en , and Judge Cranch nearly that when they retired , but these eminent Judges retained their mental faculties to the last moment. Though Judge Taney had really attained his second childhood , he had the sagacity to conceal it while on the bench , and it was only when Con gress made provision for judicial senili ty , that he became conscious that he was getting beyond the days of usefulness. The Chief Justice of our Supreme Court gets ten thousand five hundred dollars lars per year , whiie the Associate Jus tices receive ten thousand dollars. The five hundred flollars addition is not be cause of the additional dignit- that at taches to the position , but because the Chief Justice really does more work than any of his brethren. For instance , all the motions that arc made on motion day ( Monday , ) have to be considered and determined upon by the Chief Justice alone , besides which he is expected to bear his full share of ihe other work of the court. In the matter of the writing and de livery of the opinions of the court there is as much variance in the manner of these nine Judges as one could possibly conceive. While Stanley Mathews and Ha an are verbose , and exhaust both tli j vand the patience of the court in the reading of their opinions , Gray , Blatchford , Bradley and Miller arrive directly at that point and strike the mar row of the issues involved without cir cumlocution or other judicial travail. Justice Gray particularly , must be cit ed as an exception to the rule of those Judges who read their opinions from manuscript , because , although his opin ions are written , they are delivered off hand , in an easy conversational style that gently lets down the litigants on both sides. Justice Field cannot be said to be much of a jurist , although he ac quired something of a reputation as a railroad lawyer. In fact a first-class law yer will not go on the bench , when his own practice is worth anywhere from two t6 five times the salary paid to a Supreme Court Judge. At the time that Mr. Conkling was offered the Chief Justiceship by President Grant , he per emptorily refused and told the President that he had at that moment a case in which the retainer was larger than the salary of the Judge for a whole year. DOM PEDRO. SOME time ago the southern people hated the Inter Ocean because it told the truth about them. .Now they like it because it upholds the New Orleans exposition and defends it against the croakers who pronounce it a failure. In both cases the paper is right , and the incident simply serves to show that people ple are greatly governed in their esti mate of papers and other things by their own interests and prejudices. Topics. AT a sewing circle all the women were talking , and some of the subjects got hopelessly confused. For instance , the subject of crickets and church choirs. "I never heard suoh a horrid noise as they made last Sunday , " said one woman , referring to the choir. "Nor I either , " said another , thinking sh j re ferred to the Fall crickets. "They say they make that noise with their hind legs.5' Cleveland Leader. A TEXAS cattleman married a refined youngjady belonging to the best socie ty of Dallas. A friend meeting him shortly after his marriage congratulated hinr on his happy fortune "It's all right , but I had to make sacrifices , " re plied the newly-made husband , shaking his head. "What sacrifices ? " "I've had to give up going to bed with my boots and spurs on when I come home tired. Texas Siftings. ' MADAME PATTI wrote in a Boston album the other day : "Go to strangers for charity , acquaintances for advice and to relatives for nothing , and you will always have a supply.
