The complete sketch of Judge Black's
life which we print, in connection with
the melancholy news of his death, leaves
.little necessary te be said in praise of his
services and character. Ne comprehen
sive account of what he was and what
he has done would fail te carry with it
fit eulogy of the great man who is new
dead and whom all intelligent contem centem contem
perary criticism accounts te have been
the foremost man of the commonwealth.
His public career extended ever a period
of forty years, and though it made him
a conspicuous national figure and at the
bar and in the federal councils he
ranked with the best minds that have
adorned official life under our
government, he was essentially a
Fennsylvanian and the best pro
duct of that composite citizenship
which peopled this state. Uniting the
German and the Scotch-Irish strains,
born in a rural region which has developed
se many specimens of exceptional physi
cal and mental vigor, almost self-taught,
studying the models of English litei a
ture by the light of the pine knot and
the ancient classic3 behind the plow, it
was only the resolute purpose te wipe
the mortgages off his father's farm that
induced him te quit the rural life and
agricultural pursuits he best loved aud
engage in the profession of which he be
came one of the leading representatives,
and in the practice of which his early
training and associations served him se
well.
Once upon the bench his elevation te
the highest honors of his profession was
a natural sequence, and in the office of
chief justice of the supreme court of
Pennsylvania (in which ex Chief Justice
Agnew and Chief Justice Mercur are his
only living successors) his decisions en
riched the literature of that high court
alike by their reasoning and their style.
In the Buchanan cabinet the brilliancy
of his services asa lawyer, especially his
redemption of the San Francisce land
titles from the bogus claims which cov
ered that city three deep, were lest sight
of in the mere critical duties which con
fronted him when the dissolution of the
cabinet and the secession events in the
Seuth called him te the chair of state.
If any doubt ever existed as te hew lie
met the duties of that place, it was dis
pelled some years age when he
broke a long silence and rebuked
the spirit of misrepresentation
with the incontrovertible proofs of
his sagacious counsel and patriotic
conduct in that trying hour. Seme re
gret has been expressed that he did net
live te answer the recent onslaught upon
him by Jeffersen Davis for his conduct
in 1801, but really the epithets and abuse
of Mr. Davis needed no reply, for they
were occasioned simply by Mr. Black's
performance of what his countrymen
nave long since adjudged te have been
his duty.
The integrity of his official conduct is
attested by ihe fact that he quit the cabi
net seven thousand dollars in debt ; but
the emoluments of a law practice which
opened up before him, beyond all his ex
pectations, gained for him a competence
which enabled him net only te select his
own Geld for the exercise of his lefty
genius as advocate and counsel, but per
mitted him te become the unpaid tribune
of the people in nearly all of the greatest
cases with which his name has been as
sociated in the hist twenty years. The
value or his services in saving our con
stitutional system from the subver
sion which threatened it is beyond cal
culation. Without an office, except in
his hat, and with no law partnerships,
his counsel was eagerly sought and his
services solicited with a king's ransom
by suitors who had weightiest interests
at stake ; but no case was ever under
taken by him with the same delight as
when he became the advocate of the
people's rights, whether against the
oppression of usurped and centralized
political power or the aggressions of in
corporated capital and insolent plutoc
racy. It was upon this latter subject
that he felt most sensitively and pro
foundly for the future of his country and
his commonwealth, and this theme most
frequently engaged his pen and voice of
late.
As a controversialist and historian of
events among which he moved, no man
of his age wielded such a vigorous pen or
commanded a mere engaging style. His
magazine and newspaper articles were
contributions te American literature
which are net paralleled for vividness or
vigor, and no knight who ever broke
lance in this Geld with him, whether
challenged or challenger, came out of
the fray a victor.
But it was in his private life and Gre
side virtues that Judge Black displayed
his noblest self. The charm of his con
versation, its richness of learning, the
grace and geniality of his wit, were the
delight of all who ever enjoyed them ;
the singular purity of his life and the
heroic moral courage of his opinions
stamped him as one of the world's great
souls ; his tenderness of heart, that
was full of sympathy alike for the
individual ard the race, made him be
loved as far beyond bis own family circle
and his community as his acquaintance
reached, and that limit was en the ether
side of the confines of his own country,
lie was a man,
Take him ter all In all.
We shall net leek upon his llke a7aln.
TVEhave a bleed curdling story from
New Jersey of a schooner flying a black
flag, and filled with men, that was chased
by a steamer towards the shore, but
which sank suddenly just outside the
breakers. The weather is het and news
is scarce ; but it is net a sufficient rea
son for introducing us te a pirate story
en se shallow foundation. If it should
be explained that the schoenor had
sprung a leak and was being run ashore ;
and that the steamer was standing by
her, since the sea was tee high te rescue
her crew in beats, the mystery would
net be great, barring the black flag ; but
then some people are color blind, and the
geed gentleman who discovered the
black flag may have in fact been looking
pt a red one.
It is a crying shame that the authori
ties of our city should have se little re
gard for its interests as te permit great
wooden poles te be unnecessarily- strung
along the streets for the use of the elec
tric wire. It is a thing which the
property owners should net submit to te
The city has no power te authorize the
electric light people te thus improperly
incumber the streets. Net a single per
son in the city desires te see these ugly
big poles put up. The majority would
rather de without the electric light if
they cannot have it without the big
poles. It is a question at any rate
whether it will be an agreeable light.
But there is no question that its poles
will be a nuisance. "We trust that no
citizen who objects te having them put
en his property will permit it te be done.
It cannot lawfully be done, if he forbids
it. Let all be public spirited enough te
refuse room for the poles and they will
have te go.
A vessel flying a black flag, and hotly
pursued by a steamer, is reported te have
suddenly sunk eS Beach Haven. The shot
like suddenness of its sinking makes one
think that it formerly belonged te tke
American navy.
It is claimed that the Shapira manu
script of Deuteronomy, which has caused
such lively circles. is a forgery. Dr.
Neubaues and Professer Sayce, both emi .
ncnt authorities, assert that it is without
any claims te antiquity. It would be
hard te understand the motives of these
who would bring the arts of the common
thief into play, while dealing with ke
sacred a subject as scriptures. An abnor
mal desire te be esteemed learned probably
incited the decd, if the above statement
of the biblical experts be correct. The
charge made is a very grave one, and its
truth or falsky should be promptly es
tablished. The grand conclave of the Knights
Templar in San Franeisco bids fair te be a
conspicuous success in every respect. It
is estimated that 10,000 knights will march
ia the street parade te-day, aud that the
precession will be the finest display the
city has seen since the demonstration in
honor of General Grant four years age.
There will be a magnificent display of
California fruit, the season for which is
new at its height, and also a mineral ex
positieu of the Pacific coast, both of
which will doubtless possess great attrac
tiens for Eastern visitors. The selection
of the city of the Gelden Gate as the
place of conclave was peculiarly fitting, as
showing the bread domains covered by the
order. Beneficial results may be looked
for also iu the closer social as well as busi
ness relationship between the East and
West that will accrue from the visit ; and
links innumerable will be forged during
the knights' brief stay that will tend te
make all who witness the exercises mero
than ever citizens of a common country.
Tennyson's beautiful poem " Godiva,"
ever which readers innumerable have felt
their pulses glow at the ideal representa
tion of womanly virtue there per
trayed has received a stuuniug
blew from which it will net seen
recover in the base born travesty of the
neble deed which was enacted in Coventry
two weeks age. The pretty legend which
England's poet laureate has made immor
tal narrates hew the Lady Godiva, te
preve her devotion te her subjects and
thinie her boorish lord who sneeriug
ly asked for this cruel exhibition of
her leve for her people, rode naked through
the streets of Coventry, after having made
proclamation te the people te remain
within doers. It was an act of the suprera
est nobleness and has deservedly been the
admiration of all time. New the pretty
story is dragged into the filth and slime by
the modern pageant of a bold circus
actress, arrayed in flesh colored tights
cavorting for the sensuous amusement of
forty thousand visitors, drawn te Coventry
by the unusual spectacle. It is a sad
commentary en our modern civilization
that such things should be. In the glor
ious light of the nineteenth century, the
people of two centuries age are esteemed
as little less than barbarians ; yet it re.
quires a mighty effort of the imagination
te picture the citizens of these days
descending se low as the debasing pageant
recently enacted in Ceventiy.

JDDUE VL.ACK'3 LAST HOUKs.
The Great Jurist Passes Away Peacefully,
Surrounded by His family.
Judge Black's death was peaceful and
calm. His wife, his two sons, Chauncey
F. and Henry, his daughter, Mrs. Hornsby,
and her husband and A. B. Farquhar were
at his bedside. A few minutes before his
death he spoke with confidence of the
future, saying te his son Chauncey that he
had no fear, and added : " I would that I
were as comfortable about what I leave
behind in this world." While his wife
knelt at his bedside Judge Black gave ut
teranccs te the following impressive
prayer : " Oh, thou leved and most merci
ful Father, from whom I had my being
and in whom I have ever trusted, grant, it
it be Thy will, that I no longer suffer this
agony and that I be spacdily called home
te Thee, and eh, my Ged, bless and com
fort this, my Mary."
Soen afterwards he kissed his wife good
bye, turned ever en his side and passed
away. The judge's illness only dates from
Monday last, and from the first appear
ance of the fatal and painful discase he was
perfectly resigned, feeling that it would
terminate fatally. After his case became
critical and it was found necessary te resort
te a surgical operation, he observed the
doctors in ceuucil and asked its import.
They told him of the intended operation
and that they had asked the consent of the
family. Geed humeredly and with his
accustomed wit he remarked : " Yeu have
reckoned without your host. I am the
victim and the one who is te be consulted.
I will net submit. I can held out until
Drs. Atlee and Garnet can be summoned
in consultation." Agreeably te the judge's
desire, the doctors were brought and he
consented te the operation. It was suc
cessfully performed, but the poisonous
nature of the contents of the bladder were
such as te poison the system, superinduc
ing pyemia, which was the immediate
cause of his death.
All through his sickness, although he
was suffering intense ageuy, he was cheer
ful and his great mind gave vent in fre
quent scintillations of witty utterances
and at times he repeated selections from
his favorite autherr, Bryant's " Thauatop Thauatep
sis " and the words of Lady Macbeth. In
his dying moments the great jurist lest
none of his ferce of character, his geniality
and brightness of disposition, or his flew
of language, when net under the influence
of opiates. His remains will be interred
at Prospect Hill cemetery, Yerk, at five
o'clock en Tuesday evening. Rev Mr.
Powers, of Washington, the pastor of the
late President Gai field, will officiate.
Judge Black was a member of the Chris
tian or Campbellite church. The an
nouncement that Judge Jeremiah S. Black
was dead was made en the streets of
Yerk at an early hour, and the sad intel
Iigence was passed from lip te lip, until
the whole cemmuuity were aware of the
great less they bad sustained. Flags float
at half mast. The peeple, regard
less of partisan fealings, feel that tot only
tue nation uas lest a distinguished and
patnotie son, but the town of Yerk has
been especially bereaved. Judge Black
was loved and respected in life, but his
death has awakened a most extraordinary
feeling of sympathy and regret at his
sudden demise. He spoke of business and
private matters te his son Chauncey, and
in the midst of it would step and refer te
his faith in Christ. Judge Black's young
est daughter, Mrs Clayten, cannot be
present at the funeral, as she is at Fert
Apache, Arizona, with her husband Cap
tain Clayten, Paymaster United States
army.

Yerk Pennsylvania,
The venerable Dr. Terrence. of Phil
ade'.phh, secretary of the Pennsylvania
Bible society, who had charge of the
children's meetings at Summit Greve,
related an incident of Thad. Stevens
When he was approaching his end in the
national captial. The doctor had heard
the general repert of Mr. Stevens tenden
cies toward infidelity and resolving te test
the correctness of the rumor, prcsented
himself at the great man's apartments.
Dr. T. was admitted at once entered en
the object of his call. He asked Mr.
Stevens if he believed in the Bible. The
answer was prompt aud unqualified:
''Take the Bible away .and there is noth
ing lett." The visiting minister advanced
another step, and clinched the matter
with : De you believe in the Lord. Jesus
Christ ?"' This question the emienent
statesman evaded. Me said he could net
see hew the death of a man 2,000 years
age could affect the saving of men's souls
for all time. The man of law and the
man of Ged engaged in argument. The
former showed signs of agitation, and in
conclusion Dr. Terrenco repeated the
question : Mr. Stevens de you bolievo in
the Lord Jesus Christ?" The big man
drew himself up and with visible moisture
apparent in his eye, replied : " Sir, my
old Baptist mother believcd that and I
believe iu my mother."

Other Baseball News.
One of the largest audiences of the sea
son witnessed tne third game of ball
between the Ironsides and the Mantuas, of
Philadelphia, en Saturday and the home
team wen for the second time this season.
The game was net a brilliant one by any
means, nor was it very well played, as
both sides had tee many errors. The
Ironsides presented a nine which included
two new men, Jenes, a catcher, and Ham
mitt, who played in centre field. This
was the first time that Jenes ever caught
for Hofferd and taking that into consider
ation he showed up well behind the bat,
although he allowed several runs te be
scored en passed balls. He is a big
muscular looking man, a geed thrower te
second and with practice will no doubt fill
the position well. He did geed work at
the bat. Hammitt had but little te de,
but he get all the flics that were near
enough te be taken, Fester was suffering
from a very sere finger and was unable te
held several balls in the early part of the
game. He changed positions, with Six
smith, going in right field after several
innings had been played. He was strong
at the bat and scored three runs of the
whole number. There were a number of
changes in the Mantua nine since their
last appearance here and were probably
somewhat weaker. The man who was te
have caught for them did net ceme along
and Omstead, a fielder and geed general
player, consented te go behind the bat,
where he played very well for a man
unused te the position. His passed balls,
however, were disastrous te the club's
success. In the sixth inning he was
severely injured ; he was running te second
base and, knocking Sixsmith down, one
knee of the latter struck him in the
stomach, injuring him severely. He was
assisted from the field and after lying off
for one inning resumed his position behind
the bat. Latta pitched for the visitors in
his usual effective style and his balls were
found very hard te hit. Bradley played well
at third as did Deveney at short and Miller
at first. There was some bad throwing
and fumbling of balls by both nines, and,
the visitors were allowed te get two men.
te first who finally scored the two first
runs en balls which should have been
fielded in better style, by the home team.
As the game progressed the Ironsides
seemed te improve in their fielding and
played mueh better in the latter part of
the contest. The batting was geed. The
score which fellows will show the geed
and bad work of all :

Mr. Jehn Malone was umpire of the
game and made his decisions with his
utual promptness. Only ene of them
was questioned, and that was when a
runner of the visiting club was declared
out at second base, while it was claimed
that he had net been touched by the base
man. If the decision was wrong it was of
ceurse an unintentional error. It.however,
did net affect the game of any account.
Mr. Malene has shown by his work in
three games te be the best umpire who has
yet been en the ground, and he should be
kept in the position if possible.
It seems that the crowds at the last few
games played with Philadelphia clubs have
been much noisier than ever before. On
Saturday a geed many of the hoodlum
element were present and insisted upon
yelling at and guying the visiting nine.
This conduct was altogether uncalled for,
as the members of the Mautua club be
haved themselves like gentlemen and
should have been treated as such. The
small boy who comes in en a foul ball, or
in some ether manner succoeds in witness
ing the game for nothing, is generally the
worst. One fault that is common often
with the elder peeple is that of yelling at
the members of the nines and telling them
hew te make their plays. If they will
only keep their mouths shut the captain of
the club and the members will see that the
weik is dene as well as it can be.
A Uaine at Yerk.
The Dauntless baseball club of Mount
Jey played a match game of ball en
Saturday with the Yerk City club of Yerk
at that place. There were enlv several
hundred persons present te see the game
en account of the early hour at which the
game was called which was necessary te
lets the Mt. Jey boys make the early train
for home. The result of the game was an
agreeable surprise te the friends of the
Dauntless as it was expected they would
make only one or two runs. The visitors
hit King easily who pitched a fine curve.
Many costly errors were made by the
Dauntless. Following is the score :

IV bat te Ue Abeat It.
The regular August term of quarter ses
sions court began this morning at 10
o'clock, with Judge Patterson presiding.
As there was no adjourned court in May
owing te the prevalence of the smallpox
in the prison, the list is new very heavy,
there being almost two hundred cases
down for trial.
Twenty-three membeis of the graud
jury answered te their names, and Geerge
W. Haldeman, merchant, was chosen lore lero lere
man. After they were sworn Judge Pat
terson delivered his charge, instructing
them in their duties in and out of their
rooms. He stated that there are new 49
persons in jail awaiting trial. As the
smallpox has been raging in that institu
tion, the court last week asked the physi
cian te make a thorough examination of the
prisoners and ascertain if any of these
down for trial were suffering from con
tagious diseases. On Saturday he received
word from the physieicn that none of the
prisoners had any such disease. His honor
further spoke of the smallpox and the
privilege the grand jury had in recom
mending the construction of a hospital for
patients with such diseases. He told hew
the discase had developed in this city ; the
city and county authorities had done all iu
their power te prevent the spread of the
disease. The directors of the peer are iu
favor of the construction of a hospital, but
they await the recommendation or disap
proval of the grand jury. The court has
learned that within the past few
days two new cases of this discase
have made their appearance iu this
city. One of the patients is a very peer
man and a stranger in the city ; the health
commissioner, who is a physician, ap
pointed by the city, en Saturday attended
the meeting of the peer directors and
asked them te furnish transportation for
the removal of the man te the hospital ;
the directors promptly re fused te de any
thing of the kind ; it would be the duty of
the grand jury te inquire into the matter
and ascertain if they are net compelled te
haul patients te the hospital.
The constables were called and made
their regular quarterly teturus, after the
grand jury had been sent te their rooms.
