F0e Judges IN Prison.-An extra
ordinary affair has taken place at
Frankfort, Kentucky. 1t appears
that at the June term of Franklin
county court, in 1915, the justices re-
moved the jailor and appointed an
other. The displaced man, with the
aid OF friends, took an appeal from
this action of the County Court up to
the Court of Appeals, which, after
hearing, issued IFS mandate directing
his restoration. This the County
Court refused TO do, and the justices.
i've in number, were cited to appear
before the Court of Appeals, to show
cause why they did not enter and car
Fy into effect the mandate sent to
them, and the five, refusing to appear,
they were thrown into prison. What
will be the finale of the matter we
cannot say. The Legislature has in.
tertered in the matter, and it will set
tie it of ourse.-Sat. Com.

A st. Louis paper is responsible for
the following:
"Maria Perkins was arrested in this
city on the 7th ult., dressed in men S
apparel. She stated that she was led
to this course by disgust of the pres
ent style of female dress, and astonish-
ed the court with an inventory Of the
number of skirts, &c. &C., which
fashionable woman Of the present day
is obliged to wear all at once, in order
TO be satisfied that she sticks out en-.
ough. Agreeably to her statement,
a lady's dress is not considered COM
plete until she has slowed about her
10 various directions, and for different
purposes, no less than twenty,seven
articles of clothing~
We are not Informed what action
the court took upon the case, but,
doubtless, SO far from being repriman-
ded, Maria was applauded for her in,
dependence and good sense. Given

preciate now the wisdom of the old

thirdly, 'that he zuas man, and not a

Respect for Women.--l have found
that the men who are really the most
fond of the society of women, who
cherish for them high respect, are
seldom the most popular with the sex.
Men of great assurance, whose tongues
are lightly hung, who make words
supply the place Of sentiment, are the
favorltes. A due respect for women
leads to respectful acton towards
them and respectful is usually dis.
tant action. and this great distance is
mistaken by many Of them for neglect
or want of interest.
