From a new book entitled "Reniinis
cenees of Jeremiah Sullivan Blark," writ
t.n by his daupbter, Mr. Mary Black
Clayton, the rittbur- '.f, a few days
nro, maile several axtmrts, most of w hich
are herewith repPHliH-rl.
The Kreat-(-nindf:ttlier of Judjre Black,
with two brothers, landed in Philadel
phia from Ireland in ls.il). This waa
John Black. In 1770 bin son Jamea left
the oM folks in Adams county and wet
tied in .Somerset county, at what after
ward came to lie know n as Stony Creek
Farm. Here, in 17Sit, was: born Henry
Black. In lStW he married Mary Sulli
van, and the followint; year, on January
10. is 10, of these t wo Jeremiah Sullivan
Black was lairn on the Stony Creek Farm.
Irish-American on hi father's side and
Irisli-iieriuan on his mother's. The oth
er children were James and Mary .Vnne ;
the former, considered a brilliant lad,
wa drowned in the Allegheny river at
Pittsburg when he was V.K The sister
"was an omniverons reader and full of
(-ciiial wit.' Mrs. Clayton says: "The
mother of these three unusual children
was a very strong character herself, of
Irish and (ieruian descent. It was from
her that her children inherited their w it
and delightful contagious laugh." Henry
Black, the father, was more than an or
dinary man. He was pre-eminently a
j-ood citizen, of solid judgment and wide
influence. He was a Whiif in jiolitics,
and was elected several times to the I-t-islature.
Shortly before his death he was
elected to t"otireas. The Democrats had
determined to nominate his son, and the
Vhi(j conferees, judfiing rij-htly that he
would not pi into a race aiinst his fath
er, chose Henry Black as their candidate
and elected him. This was in the log
cabin anil hard-cider cainpaii-n of lS4t.
Before he had finished his first Conj-res-sional
tenn, on the 2Sth of November,
1841, Henry Black was found dead in his
I ted at Stonv Creek.
JERE BLACK S BOYIltiOD.
"At the aire of 12,', says Judjre Black in
his never completed autobiography, "I
lsptn to feel some ambition to outstrip
my fellows at school at the Somerset Ac
adiitny." Sum after he went to Bridjre
lirt. opposite Brownsville, and lived
w ith his uncle, Iavid Black, for several
years, and finished that very small share
of education which he Rot from the
schools. He lef school full of the Latin
classiix, with fair mathematics and well
read in physiology and the natural sci
ences. The busy lee which "pit hers
honey from every opening flower" was
no more diligent than he was in acquir
ing knowledge. From the time be could
talk well enough to ask questions to the
tlay of his death no human U-ing who
knew anything parted from him without
having given him of his knowledge. One
reason w hy he was considered such a de-
41 FIFTH A Vi--rfBlltOH. P,: lightful companion was that he under
T T sJ.shI the art of getting jieople to talk on
It IS 10 10. "Q"(I"th; Miilye-t-t with wli-H t ley were better
Hcquainte.i, and tnen tlieir inlormalion
vas labeled and stored in that brain
never forgot. No wonder that
ialists with w hom he talked in his
ars thought that he should have

ADMITTED TO THE BAR.
"Before I was l!0 I reluctantly yielded
to Mr. Forward's urgent demands, stood
my examination, and was admitted, with
diverse congratulations and compliments
which i did not deserve. Mr. Forward
waaa member of Congress, and immedi
ately after my admission went to Wash
ington for the winter, advertising his
business into my hands. Yon are natur
ally curious to know how! I hxiked. I
can give you no precise idea, but I must
have .seen very ungainly. My associate
did not venture any remarks to me on
such a subject, but later in life many of
them said that while I was a student I
seemed to them most awkward and un
promising; When a half-grown boy I
boarded at Captain Welrster'a, whose
wife watched me with much interest.
One evening she sat knitting at the fire
place while I was opposite to her, absorb
ed in the study of my lessons. After giv
ing me a long look she said with a sigh':
"Well, Jere, you may b?a very g I in in
some day ; I hopj you will be ; but, bless
my soul, you never wilt bn h in Isoun!"
You are not to suppose from this th it I
was like Anderson's ugly duck, a swan
out of place. When admitted to practice
I was what I seemed, utterly unfit for the
business I had undertaken to live by;
and, wiiat was worse, I knew it and had
a full s-.'nse of my d 'nViencits. Yet cer
tain extraneous circumstances give me a
full practice at the very beginning. I
have already said that Mr. Forw.tr! left
his business in my hands. My father
was popular, and his friends thought it
their duty .to patronize me. Besides, I
had been deputy sheritf an ! run that of
fice entirely alone, whereby I made
some progress in public on tidence on tny
own account. In addition to thi I was
prosecuting attorney, which brought me
into general notice.
JosF.I'll WILLIAMS.
The Somerset Bar at that time was a
very strong one, and Judge. Black gives
an account of his leading competitors,
half a dozen of whom achieved great rep
utation in public! life. These were
Chauncey Forward (a brother of Walter
Forward, of national repute.) Charles
Ogle, otherwise "Spoon" O.'le, who.
Judge Black says, " was beyond all com
parison the greatest political orator of his
day and generation;" Joseph Williams,
afterward Chief Justice of Iowa, of whom
this is narrated :
The next person mentioned as a rival
at the Somerset Bar is Joseph Williams,
afterward Chief Justice of Iowa. Many
years after they had lived together in
Somerset he called on the Chief Justice
of Pennsylvania at a New York hotel.
Not finding him in he left on his table
the following:
" Salutation of the Chief Justice of Iowa
to the Chief Justice of Pennsylvania.
Oh. Jere, dear Jere, 1 have ftsin-l you at last,
Now mem-try. burdened with scenes of the past,
Kcu.re9 roe to s en -rvt'-t in Kim.: ii- o f -now.
When you were but Jere, atel I was but Joe."
He is thus .lest ri lied in the autobiogra
phy, "Joseph Williams had all tlie ver
satile accomplishment of the Earl of
Peterlsiro -
" ' In one rerolvinn mn
Wm statevroHQ, fiddler. tttJUier and b ulfuon.'
" But he was a practicing lawyer whose
ready tact was very dangerous to an op
ponent, and he was well up in the books.
After he left Somerset he became Chief
Justice of Iowa, and later he was a feder
al Judge in Kansas. He never got over
his fondness for fun. but he performed
his judicial duties worthily and well, for
be was a sincere lover of justice."
There were other and minor men men
tioned as contestants in the legal arena.
Judge Black says:
"These are thejuen whose couiietition
I had to face ; my seniors and superiors
in everything that make practical power.
" How, under the circumstances. I kepi
along with a full practice and fair success
is a little mysterious. But I did not fail ;
I was not run over; I committed no dis- j
graceful blunders. I was diligent ; I jier- J
severed; I improved; I conscientiously j
refused all a'wistant'e to dishonest claims j
or false defenses ; I earned a character
w hich gave me influence with Court and
jury, and my clients took my ad vie? with
implicit confidence. At the age of 20
years most of my seniors had wholly or
partially disappeared from the stage, and
I began to have some reputation in other
parts of the State."
Jl wiK black's hive story.
There were other than legal and busi
ness associat ions that attached young
Black to the Forward family. Chauneey
Forward win t tmst fascinating -nan;
brilliant and instructive in conversation,
polished, kindly and gentle in manner,
handsome and refined in apiearunce.
Young Black became a frequent yisito'- to
t he Forward mansion. M rs. Clayton tells
the sequel in thia pretty way :
"There were eight little Forwards.
The oldest was a daughter and her name
w as Mary. When Mr. Black, as he wa
always railed in the Forward family, first
knew tbem Mary was a pretty child, to
whom he use. I to take little nresents and
notice from his lofty height of nine years
seniority. He observed that she was a
womanly little thing, the model eldest
daughter in a family of very moderate
means and numerous "olive branches."
After a time she went to boarding-school
at Cumberland, Md. When she returned
Mr. Black discovered that she had blos
somed into a very lovely yonng woman.
She had changed very much, and had
taken on a certain 'dignity which from
that day to this has never deserted her.
There was no more petting at that time

A BATTLE FOR BLOOD.
Carney And McAuliffe Fight
Nearly Five Hours.
Boston, Nov. 15. The Carney McAu-
I 1 i tit- fight was planned to take place at
and ! o'chs-k last evening at a stirburban re-
one day marry him, although she was lit- ! down the corridor of the Ebbitt House, ! w,rt. u,ni 10 ''' fr,"n Boston. The
tie more than a child at the time of her
engagement only Iti.
The marriage was a sad one. The
mother of Mary. Forward died three
weeks 1-efore it was solemnized, in March,
!-.'!!. Passing by the years of Judge
Black's active professional career in Smi
erset and other western counties ; the
happy home and happy family ties that
came to him in that charming mountain
town ; his services as Judge of the Som
erset district, we come to the jsriod of
his recognition as one of the foremost
men in the Democratic purty of the State.
Says Mrs. Clayton :
"In 1S53 he wxs nominated by the IVm
ocratie State Convention for Judge of the
Supreme Court, and was elected by a
larger majority than any man running
on the same ticket. tlilwon, Lewis,
Lowrv and Coulter were elected at the
.Mine time. They drew Kits for length of
terms with the understanding that the
Justice drawing the fewest years was to
be chief of the Bench during the term.
Judge Black w rote home on the subject
of the lottery thus :
" My Own Mary : We drew yesterday,
and the result is as follows: Black, 3
years; I,ewis, ti years; iibson, 9 years ;
Lowrie, 12 years ; Coulter, 15 years. Po
you see your husband is to be Chief Jus
tice. I don't like it. This whole busi
ness has been like our old woman's
soup; 'somehow I have-410 luck with
it.' "
He says, in the little autobiography
befre quoted : "The poli ical reasons
for nominating me as Judge of the Su
preme Court when the elective system
went into operation, if not good, were at
least sufficient in the eyes of the Democ
racy. There were four other candidates
on, the same ticket with tne, and five
nominated by the Whigs. Of the whole
ten Mr. Meredith was w ithout doubt the
greatest and uiost distinguished man.
Yet w hen the poll came he received the
lowest vote, while I got the highest.
This shows how fallible a test the popu
lar judgment is on the merits of a candi
date forjudicial office.
KEl.tOlolS CONVICTIONS.
In 1H54, the Know-Nothing year, he
was re-elected for a tenn of fifteen years.
Considering the political conditions of
the time, Judge Black says this re-election
gave him more satisfaction than any
event of bis political career. But we only
concern ourselves with the home or inner
life of the man in this notice. He had
devoted much time md study to reli
gion. Mrs. Clayton writes :
He had read many liooks on both
sides. In his youth he lul been lieset
with those doubts w hich have darkened
the lives of so many. In the sad hours
following his father's death he began to
think alsmt Christianity not only as a
fascinating subject for abstract specula
tion but as to the personal position he
ought to take in regard to it. He had a
great admiration, friendship and venera
tion for Alexander Campbell, whom be
had often heard preach in Somerset, and
whose delightful cotujianiotiship he had
enjoyed at his own house and at Chaun
eey Forward's. He decided to go to liim
at Bethany, in Virginia, an 1 talk with
him on the subject w hich was oppress
ing him. One morning in May, 1843, he
ordered his carriage and botses. put his
wife, baby and nurse in it, took the lines
himself and culled for his dear friend,
Mrs. Emily Ogle, the w blow of the ( has.
Ogle .-efore spoken of. This party drove
over the Allegheny mountains to Pitts
burgh, and thence to Bethany. Judge
Black was always a reckless driver, and
upset his precious Mary and her young
ones many a time, and on this occasion
he paid much more attention to the con
vert ition, both serious and brilliant,
which was carried on in the carriage
than he did to the road. But although
they l.ad narrow escata-s, they reached
Bethany w ith no bones broken, ami were
enthusiastically welcomed by the Camp
bells. There they tarried for some .lays,
while the two great men exchanged 1
thought. The result was that Jeremiah ;
S. Black, in his mental and physical
1 prime, after much study of the most im
portant subject in the world, acknowl
edged that the Bible was the inspired
word of (.tod, from Jenesis to Revelation
and decided that lie would yield himself,
body and soul, to its requirements. He
was therefore baptize. I in the little stream
at Bethany by Alexander Campbell.
Mrs. tlgle remarked that she h id never
seen at a baptism go much submission
expressed in the countenance of a con
vert. Smn after the little party went on
their happy way homeward. Ever after
w hen asked what church he belonged to,
he answered: "To the sect first called
Christians at Anlioch."
AS ATTORXKY oKNELRAL,
Judge Black only left his Somerset
home on bis appointment as Attorney
General under President Buchanan in
March, 1S57. He never again dwelt
among the scenes of his birth, boyhood,
and early success. He went often back
to the home farms, though both had

; chase of outside sporting men was so
close that the men and their backers
were unable to shake them off. and it be
came necessary to js-stpone the fight
in Washington one day. The geutleman
ssiid :
. "Judge, is it true that President tirant
has signified his intention of nominating
von for Chief Justice in case Mr. Cushing 1 "' several hours latter. The prepara
tions for the n.'ht after ti e Hrst lailure
to bring the men together were managed
skilfully and quit tly until within a day
or two. During the last 4H hours the
friends of the two uieti talked too much.
Every s sirting man knew that X o'clock
was the hour selected for the call oftime,
is rejected ?"
Judge Black replied very deliberately :
"The President has tendered to me, anil
I have accepted, the highest and most
honorable position which can be held
under his a liiiinistratinn "
Here he man waited expectant.
"The pri-ud position of a private citi
zen," pursued the Judge, itnperturbably.
DEAR BKOCK1E.
He purchased about 200 acres of land
two miles south of York, and established

few miles of Boston.

! coruance with his expressed intentions to
i Worry and tire McAuliffe, and murder
J him in the ring. McAuliffe forced the
i flL'hting, but so little punishment di.l he
do to Jem that tlie friends of the latter
asserted that he was sure to win. At the
forty-fifth round it was seen that bis tac
tics were bound to be -wcwssful in spite
of the splendid staying power of McAo
liffe. The Brooklyn hoy was full of pluck
and stisal up to the Englishman in great
shape, as long a he had enough life in
him to bold up his hands or stand on his
feet. At the end of that round it wa
seen that it was only a question of time
and that Carney was surely a winner
At 4:30 o'clock Carney and McAuliffe had
fought 54 rounds. The fifty-fourth was
desperately fought and lsth men had re
gained strength. They were able to fight
two more hours. The lietting changed
with every round, but as a mie Carney
was the favority at small odds.
In the seventy-fourth round Carney
knocked McAuliffe down and the sjiecta
tors iiu .setliately broke into the ring and
kn.M-ked down the stakes and r-qs-s, A
scrimmage ensued and the referee declar
ed the battle po-.fsincd. The fight lasted
4 hours and -55 minutes.
Carney ischampion light-weight of En

McAuliffe is light weight champion of

The unsatisfactory tenn inat ion of th
fight has been "he subjei-t of discussion in
all sporting circles to-day, and while re
gretting that a postponement was made
necessary, this action of the referee is id
mitted to hade been the only thing that
could pot-sibly have been done under the
circumstance. All bets are declared off
and matters remain exactly as thongh
the men had never met. Carney was
seen in the city this evening and with
the exception of a few scratches and
bmises was apparently uninjured. H
appeared to be in gvd spirits and declar
ed that he would be willing to finish the
contest to-night. McAuliffe is reported
to lie quite badly used up and weak
from the effects of the fight. He is kept,
for the present in comfortable quarters

medical treatment. Th'-re is a yet no
serious talk as to the time of continuing

THE (-LuflNO s EXES.
We quote the cloning scenes so simply
and eloquently narrated by Mrs. Clay-
terday at South Fraiiiinghuui in the pres
ence of Referee Frank Stevenson, Jack
Dempsey, Patsy Shcppard, Jimmy
Wakeiy and a few others. Both men
scaled within the limit.
The men left South Framighamat about
7 o'clock, and were soon at the rendez
vous. Carney was accompanied by Pasty

; the picture of 'health, and expressed him-
self very confident and longing for a

his intention.

Law in Arizona.
An old resident of California who ha

got to talking the other night of a trip he
made to Arizona some years ago, just
atwMit the time of the great Tombstone
boom.
" It was quite extraordinary," he said.
The country was full of desperadoes and
bad gamblers, and they were very dan
gerous, too. They rule.) Tombstone at
that time. A friend of mine was in
Tombstone, and one day he saw a man
walking quietly along who was a noted
desperado and murderer a man for
whose head a big reward was offered.
He knew the chief of police and went
and told him about it. Inside of the day
he got a notice that thy gave him one
hour to quit Tombstone, and he quitted.
Now, at Tucson there was law and order,
and those same desperadoes who went
alMiut shooting in Tombstone would go
down to Tucson and behave like the most
guileless of citizens. This was mainly on
account of an old judge they had there, a
German, who feared none of them, and
had his own emphatic way of serving out
the law. They knew if they got into a
scrape in Tucson they were in for it, and
they'd get no mercy. He hail, perhaps,
pule ways of carrying out the law, this
old judge, but they were very effective.
One day a notorious cahracter was
brought up for something. They hail
the whipping post there then. .The old
judge looked at him.
" I think I seen yon tiefbreno?"
The culprit admitted that he had been
there on several .a-casions.
" Wal, I just sentence yon to forty lash
es. You take twenty of I hem to-morrow
and then yon was released on your own
recognizan.-rs, and yon come back in a
week and take the other twenty."
The fellow had his twenty lashes
and he hasn't been seen about Tucson
sime.
Another little example of the judge's
way of doing things was the case of a
man brought tip betor him for firing off
a pistol in the street, or something. They
had taken $340 from him when he was
arrested.
" I joost fine yon $200," remarked the
judge.
"Why," said the prisoner, "in San
Francisco they would only fine me $5 or
I0."
" You vas in Tucson, mine friend ;
$200."
The man was complaining bitterly af
ter he paid the fine.
" Ifc.n't kick." said another. " Yon
were lucky. If he had known you bad
340 on you, he'd have fined vou all
of it."
Some fe'Iow who was being tried mov
ed for a change of venue.
"Yoo vant a change of venae ? What
for?" asked the judge.
"BtsTiiithiseiurt is prejudiced against
me, and I won't get a fair trial."
"You say this court is prejudiced
against you and yon won't get a fair
trial? You want a change of venue, my
friend? Ijoost fine you $:VI0 for contempt
of court to begin with. Now, we'll prit
ceed with the trial."

next round McAtiliffe's friends claimed
that Carney had kicked his antagonist in

Great excitement ensued when the claim
was not allowed, but the battle went on
with the same frightful slugging that had
In the last round, after some heavy ex
changes, the men clinched and both fell
to the floor, with Carney on top. The
friends of both p irties rnshed into the

It was after I t.V! . k when the men
entered the ring. Carney wore dark blue

round McAuliff fon-ed the fighting, and

times, either by his weight or through
