Doollttle, of Wisconsin, who la now rnirsRed in the practice of law In Chicago, in the argument of an Important case before ttie United Mates IMHtrlct Conrt in Ht. Louis, last winter, mad') the following elegant allusion to the late Justice Grier, in his speech to the conrt and nry, and now that Justice Grier has passed away, we thlufc it a hist and proper tribute to his memory to publ Ish it : 'OenUenienof the Jury :-The highest encomium ever pronounced upon a Judge retiring from the bench. 1 heard, not long since, in Washington. When JuBtlce Orler left the Supreme Oout, in consequence ol increasing infirmities, all the Judges, with the Chlel JuHtlce at their head, clled to pay their lespects to him at his rooms. It was my good fortune to be present. "I shall never forget that seen, as they stood around that grand old mnn, whose lullrmlt'es would not allow linn to stand, sitting In his arm chair, h s eye unrtinmed by age, his massive head covered with hair white as snow. ..... "For a moment they stood around him la silence find in tears. Then the Chief Justice, lu an address beautiful in expression, full of p;ittioj, yet true tu every word, in a voice tremulous with emotion, read to him a farewell testimonial, signed by all the Judges. After speaking of his great learning, his long experience, and his high Judicial character, rhe Chief Justice crowned the encomium in saying, Yon have, sir, a positive enthusiasm for Justice; you love the right, you nate the wrong.' "If the Court please, in all situations In this life, high or low, on the bench or In the jury box when ever a man may be culled upon to act upon doubtful and trying questions, without clear and certain lights, outside, to guide him, let him, like Justice Oner, look within; let him consult that Divine In stinct which God lias planted in every heart, stronger and often truer than mere reason, which fcuys, 'Do justice; spare the Innocent; punish the guiliy only.-" PRESDYTEUIANIS3I. Action of the Phllndelphla Prenbytery on the Proposed !5,000,0Ul Memorial Fund. The Philadelphia Synod of the Presbyterian Church, in seat-ion at ticranton, has adopted the following resolutions reported from the Committee on tin; Memorial Fund. As indicative of what the diuretics' of tula city are expected to do it in of un usual interest to the denomination: 'J he Synod of Philadelphia, having received the communication of the i onimlttee on the Memorial Fund of the General Assembly, would resolve as follows: Mfffued, That, being deeply penetrated with the importance of the movement and concerned for the honor of the Church of Christ as involved In its suc cess, we ltereby solemnly accept the responsibility for the proportion which may be fairly expected from our churches In our bounds, which have as yet taken no action, to enter at once upon the work. Resolved, That we especially regard the Memorial Fund as a providential opportunity to Bring home the duty of systematic giving to every one of our churches and church members, and we urge pastors and sessions to examine plans, and, with prayer and new consecration, to endeavor to lead their people to higher ground on the whole subject of benoU cence, so that the present movement. Instead of being spasmodic, may be a perennial source of blessing to the whole Church. Hesolved,yaX the sum of !,0fl0,000 Is far within the abilities of the united Uburch, and, engaging in the work under the inspiration of the great reunion movement, we will listen to no such word as fall. Resolved, That the Synod approve the plan of the committee,ln which various objects of home Interest are recognized as legitimate; at the same time we urge upon every congregation to endeavor to give special prominence to some one of the great general objects named by the committee. The most ap propriate memorial of the reunion is the establish ment or reinforcement of Interests pertaining to the whole Cnurch. TriK Team op Tkams. This morning at about half-past 10 o'clock there drove np to the Thin! street entrance of the Merchants' Exchange one of the most elaborate establishments in the horse and carriage line that has been seen in this city for , some time. The team consisted of six finely-formed bay horses, and the carriage was comprised In a large-Mzed family vehicle on four wheels, sur rounded by bu.warks of raised driver's and footmen's Heats both before and behind . Within the vehicle sat the owner of the whole turnout, Mr. H. T. Helmbold, the wealthy merchant of New York, who, as the Bix-ln-hand dashed up to tbe curb and was there stopped, jumped out and entered, proceeding up stairs to the Stock Koom, where he was cordially re ceived by a large number of friends, among whom were some of the most wealthy bankers of the city. Though the equipage had been seen upon Ches nut street several times yesterday, after its arrlva in town, there was no less an anxiety to see it to day. Immediately upon its coming to a stand still, the street was blocked up with eager sight-seers, examining every department minutely. Not only was the street full, but the balcony of the Exchange building and the windows of the houses were crowded. In the midst of the crowd sat the staid coachman, with his whip and an unlimited number of lines in his hand, seemingly unconscious of the excitement, and showing by his demeanor that it was no unusual thing. The two footmen had accompanied Mr. Helmbold Into the building, but their two overcoats, with dou ble row 8 of pure gold buttons (the driver had similar adornment) were neatly strapped to the seat. The fittings of the carriage and the metal work of the harness were all of pure gold, and the effect was certainly btartling. The cost of the turnout was in the neighborhood of f 30,000. Mr. Helmbold is to be congratulated on tne possession of such an equipage, which is in a style proportionate to the wealth which his business talent and success have procured for him. Tbk Girakd Mercantile Company. By reference to the advertisement In another column it will be seen that an important enterprise for the advance ment of the commercial and manufacturing lnte lestsof Philadelphia has been Inaugurated by the consolidation of the firm.' of Taussig, Livingston & jo with the Olrard Mercantile Company of Phila delphia, which was chartered at the last session of the Leglslatuie. Philadelphia and Its vicinity are the most extensive woollen and cotton goods manufac turing district in the Uuited; States; but notwithstanding this fact, and the advan tage i of our city's geographical posi tion, our manufacturers have been obliged to depend upon the markets ot other competing cities for their supplies of the raw material. Wn.it seemed too extensive an enterprise for single firms or individuals to embark in has now been under taken by a company of responsible business men, with a capital sulDclent to enable them to carry out their object in the most periect manner. The pro jectors and managers of the Qirard Mercantile Com pany have all had long practical experience lu the cotton and wool business, and the stock of the company can be confidently recommended as a safe and profitable Investment. The stock, so far as subscribed, is taken by some of our principal manu facturers, capitalists, and business men, but as It is desired to Increase the subscription to at least 1300 000 so as to secure the co-opratlon of the prominent manufacturers of our city and vicinity, and the ship pers of wool and cotton in the West and South, Looks for the receipt of subscriptions have been opened at tbe banking house of Messrs. Kurtz & Howard, No. 82 South Third street, and 85 Letttia street and oiltce of the company, No. 81 South Front street. The Tax Rate fob 1871. Last year, la conse nuence of the delay of the departments in present ing to Councils the estimates of their expenses tor lh'tO, these bodies were unable to determine upon the tax ratH until late in the year. To avoid a recur, reuce of this diillculty, both branches of Councils ueiore me recent summer recess passed a resolution requesting the heaus of departments to furnish to the Committee on Finance their estimates of ex- Eens-s for lbTl before the third Thursday in Octo er, to enable Councils to fix upon the tax rate at a reasonable date. Yesterdav was the limit fixed by this resolution, and as yet but two or three of tho departments have sent in their estimates, the new tax rate is as problematical now as it was six mourns ago. Tin Nuttinu KxrEDiTioN. at a meetlnir yester day afternoon of tbe committee having in charge the arrangements for the nutting expedition to Fatrttonut Park by the school children, it was de cided, in consequence of the unfavorable sute of the weather, to poktpoue the atTulr until Friday of next week.

A Ilenr Iaese He KIIU a Boy and Fatally lojurea a man. The Portage Lake Gazette tolls this horrible Btory just ns we go to press, we learn that the peo pie of Marquette, residing in the vicinity or the Trcmont House, were thrown into great excite ment on luesuay alternoon by the fearful con duct of a bear belonging to a German butcher living in that neighborhood. It seems that Joseph Mccreary, a person in tbe employ of Freeman Bros., livery men, had occasion to go into the yard where the bear was kept chained, and the animal broke looee and made a rush for him (Mc- Creary), whom he soon bad in his embrace, and commenced hogging. McCreary was not long in realizing the peril he was in, and succeeded in freeing himself only to be set upon again by the bear, who tore and lacerated hia body in a frightful manner. By this time a crowd bad gathered around tbe bear and his bleeding vic tim, and by means of some well-directed blows, delivered by some of the number, he was In duced to let go of the unfortunate man, who wasMmmediately taken home by his friend. Ah eoon as the bear leit Mccreary, be started on a run out of the yard, and, rustling up tho street, darted into the first open door bo came to, which was that of a billiard room, which at the time was occupied by three men, anions whom was tbe proprietor and a man who was very much under the influence of liquor. Mr. Ilanley, the proprietor of tbe saloon, saw the bear coming, and, thinking discretion the better part of valor, jumped out of a window and made his escape. The bear paid no attention to the intoxicated man, but rushed after tbe other remaining person, who made bU exit into the street, closely followed by the bear, whose attention just then was attracted bv another open door further np the street, and for which bo made; but before he reached the Fame it was closed bo that he could not get in. Just then a little boy who happened to be standing near Hurley's livery stable was espied by tbe bear, who rushed upon the lad and inflicted such injuries on tbe person of tbe poor little fellow that be died that evening. 1 he crowd then followed after the bear, and be was again assailed with all kinds of missiles, but it was not till his throat had been cut that he left the boy and started over tbe street, where he was run down and finally killed. McUreary, at last accounts, was not expected to live. IN "1XC1DINT" TO BISMARCK. What the Premier Found In IIU Bed. At the Prussian headquarters In Meaux the King occupied the front, count Bismarck the back rooms ( f the Archbishop's palace.

Tired with these dilllcult labors he hastened, when be reached his room, to prepare for bed.

The Coolidge-Flynt case Is making a great stir in Boston. Our lady readers will be inte rested in the following testimony, which we find in the Traveller of Wednesday: Mr. A. L. Ccolidge was called to the witness stand. The bill iu suit was a second one of an exorbitant character presented by Mrs. Flynt. The first bill which was paid was presented to me on a morning when I was about leaving for the Weet. Being in a hurry, I paid that flrtt bill without examination. When tbe bill for $1000, now in suit, was sect in, the items of the other bill were for the first time ex amined, and found overcharged; had an inter view with Mrs. Flynt about this 1900 bill; had had several with her girls. Mrs. Flynt declined to make any deduction from the bill, which I told her was not right. Finding that to be her determination, aud that she meant to press the matter, I rose to leave. She became excited,' and as I went down stairs called me a miserable sinner. Never knew that she charged $5 a day for each girl's work till one of ber girls told me eo, subsequently to the above interview. Mr. N. B. Witigiu, dry-goods dealer, with R. II. White & Co., No. 46 Winter street, was called as an expert to testily as to the value of (roods In dresses. The It).1 yards of silk charged at $ 146 was worth not over $5'50 in the spring of The Y-i yards of heruanl charged at 4-U'J were not worth over $60 or $65. The tea- L rose silk charged at $15 was not worth more man nan mat. jne purpie eiik, io yarns, at $4 50 a yard, was not worth over 43. Mr. John Charles States, of No. 25 Winter street, whose business is piuklog, etc., was called. He was asked to look at the purple silk dress, the pinking for which was charged in the bill at $15-75. lie said that this wa done with a pinkiug-iron and not cut out by hand. He charged three cents a yard for pinking. The 195 yards of pluklng ou this dress ought not to cost more than $0 or $7. Tbe basting and pinking would not occupy much more thau a couple of hours. There is but little additional work. Weston H. Lewis, ex-President ot the Boston Common Council, was called. He is a member of the house of Lewis, Brown & Co., Summer street. He was shown tbe laces on a black silk dress or waist. First, his attention was called to the broad lace, charged in the bill aft 4l yards, $43 33. Not a great while ago this waist was brought to my store, and I was asked the value of this lace; I stated it at $3 50 a yard, wholesale. Tho counsel then accompanied ma to C. C. Holbrook's store, and we saw Mr. Lewis N. Tucker, who fixed the retail price at $4 to $4 25. Tbe attention of witness was next directed to the narrow lace, which was charged in the bill at t'JH for 6 2-3 yards. Mr. Lewis fixed the value of it at $1 a yard. The broad lace is a pretty pattern, but it is not remarkable. Wit ness said he was well acquainted with these articles. Mr. W. R. Storms, the 8ummer 6treet dry goods dealer, Mr. Robert Gilchrist, of the firm of Churchill, Watson & Co., and ottnr promi nent men la the dry-goods and dress-goods trade, were called aud testified to a great dis parity between the charges made for some of the articles In tbe bill and their real worth. Mr. Storms, tunons other things, testified that te lurlc ciah (.10 jards at ??:.') was ivorUi $2-50 to $2 75; so did Mr. ITenry Adams, of Shepard, Nor well & Co. Mr. Gilchrist fixed it at $2.75 to $3. The silk in the black suit (charred 196 yards at $146) Mr. Gilchrist fixed at $6 to $6 50. Mrs. II. T. Smith, of No. 25 Winter street, over Chandler's, was for seven years a dressmaker, tour years oi n in ner present piaoc. to mane the lace oversklrt and fichu here shown would be worth $6, (.charged $18 In the bill). Would make the robe for morntne dress for $12 (charged $25). The black silk long dress, to make and trim, was worth $25 (charged $50). Tbe black Bilk suit, to cut, fit, make the trim mings, and make the dress, was worth $40 (charged ITO). To make, trim, and finish the poplin suit, I should have been willing, last year, to have charged $40 (charged in bill $45 and $116, In all $161). There is machine work in both dresses. There is nothing peculiar about either. Have made suits of an equal amount of work. The blue cambric should have been made for $15 (charged $45). The seersucker suit $18 (charged at $50). Tho white piouet can be niade and trimmed for $15 to $18 (charged at $55). And so on with the rest ol the charges. A LEAP FOR LIFE. Conrnjreona Art of a Yonn Lady ofOeortcla. The Sumter Republican of the 17th Instant, after giving an account oi a destructive ure in mac town, goes on to say : There is one act connected witli this calamity deserving particular mention, which caused a dis play of bravery and courage never surpassed and but seldom equalled, and which marks tts author as a perfect heroine. Miss Salllo Maxwell, In her efforts to save everything of value in the house that sue could, was delayed in tne second story or tne building until the fire had destroyed the lower story so mnch that there was danger of the wa Is falling in every minute. Seeing her danger, she gathered a few articles for the purpose of taking a final leave of the house. On entering tbe hall from the room she was in, to her horror and dismay site saw that tne stairway was in a solid Bneet or name, mere was only one way of escape now, and that was through the upper windows, where th8 fiery ele ments had not communicated itself. Uolng out on the top of the colonnade her awful situa tion was immediately realized by th crowd below, and the anxiety depicted on every counte nance snoweu tne aeep reeling mat stirred tne soui of every one. A ladder was brought, but it was too short to reach the roof, and was of no avail. With tbe crackling flames behind and around, and mak ing the moft ranld headway imaginable every mo ment was precious beyond computation. The only chance for life now was to Jump from the high place on which she was standing. A mattress was brought, and being firmly held by strong men, with a spirit undaunted and Intrepid, she made the leap from the point she occnpled, embracing in its curve at least sixty reet, reacmng tne ground witn comparative safety, and, with the exception of the shock and concussion or so nign a jump, entirely unnuru lboal iUTELLianucn.

FROM EUROPE. Reported Loan of the Steamer Cambria. Nbw York, Oct 21 This afternoon's Com mercial says: "A telegram, dated from Lon don, Oct. 20, in the Evening News, reports the loss of the steamer Cambria. As the steamer Cambria, of the Anchor line, left this port on the 8th inst, for Glasgow, it might be considered as referring to the latter. As the agents here oi the Cambria have received no news of any dis aster to the vessel, the report is either a false one or refers to some other vessel. The only ship of the name that has been lost lately within our knowledge was the British vessel bound from Babia to Galveston, and was wrecked o the bar of the latter port on Oct. 6, but no lives were lost.
