E Last week q suit of not much
importance came up before Judge
Oakley, when the counsel for the de-
PENDANT appealed to the court with q
good deal of earnest talk, and possibly
some logic, to have the case dismissed
on technical grounds. After firing
away for some time, and making no
Roadway, the Judge remarked that his
position could not be sustained, when
the learned counsel said "Your hon
or, I suppose l must submit, but am
greatly surprised at your honor's de.
cision." "Well," said the Judge. in
a most provokingly cool way, when
lawyer comes into court with no
genuine defence. with the intention Of
surprising his adversary on a technical
point, he mustn't be astonished if he
finds himself surprised" It was a
just rebuke. and may do this lawyer
and others no harm.--New York Day

HEIRS OF JOHN SMITH WANTED
The coolest thing we have encountered
this cold season says an exchange, is a
notice in the Philadelphia Evening
Bulletin, advertising for the heirs Of
John Smith, who was born, says a
contemporary, in 1897, and died in
1906, (which would make the said
John loo years Of age at the time Of
his death, left a snug little fortune Of
100000, for which heirs are now
wanted. It is said that a meeting OF
the Smiths interested in this fortune is
arranged to come off in March at a
point near Philadelphia. It is believ-
ed that, except the Persian army un.
der Xerxes, the world has not seen as
large an assembly as the call upon the
Smiths will bring together. The ques'
ton Of supplying such multitude is
already beginning to excite serious ap'
prehensions. Our Philadelphia cotem.
porary does we'll, however in warning
the Smiths not to be too sanguine Of
making their fortunes at the proposed
convention. l, is estimated, that if all
the Smiths attend, and the two million
and half are equally divided among
them, each individual Smith will re-
ceive about half q dollar.

~ Professor Owen. the celebrated
naturalist, describes species Of ape.
recently discovered on the western
coast Of Africa, named the Gorilla
species. the adults of which attain the
height of FIVE feet FIVE inches, and are
three feet broad across the chest. Its
head is double the size Of mans, and
its extremitics are enormously devel-
oped. They exist in some numbers in
the interminable forest of the GAMBIA
river. The negroes Of the country, in
their excursions into the forests in
search of ivory. exhibited little fear Of
the lion, as it SUNK away from man ;
but they dreaded the gorilla, for when
be saw a man advancing he came
down out of the trees to the attack,
and could strangle a man with the
greatest ease. The strength of this
man ape. is enormous; bis jaw is As
powerful as that Of a lion, and bis

Public Men.

In the angry strife incident to all
contests for Office, the people, who are
certainly interested, in the faithful and
economical administration Of public
affairs and not, in the division Of the
spoils, should Judge Of the honesty
and capacity ofthe candidates . mat
ter entirely lost sight Of, in the mad
ness and folly Of party strife. What.
ever the questions ct issue, may be;
certainly there is nothing more impor.
tant, than impartial judgement be-
tween the mon, in point Of their pri-
vate morals and public virtues; and
each and every citizen, can, and should
judge Of these, with an unbiased mind
if he have any regard for his own in
terest. and the public veal. An hon
est and conscientious man-however
much he may differ with the popular
opinion of the age, can never 60 far
wrong; for such a man is by nature a
conservative, and willing to obey the
wishes Of bis constituents, however
much they may be at varience with
his own; whilst the man who en-
tertains one opinion to-day, and an
other tomorrow, and is ready at any
moment to give the lie to his past life
and actions. is only tool for dema-
gogues, and is unfit matters not
what he processes, at the time being,
to represent an honest constituency.
II would seem, nowadays, that
such a man, is the only one, who has
any claims to party consideration, and
such, are continually being thrust up
on us, to ill othceS OF trust, anu 10 re-
present the people. Here, where the
only effective check, can be placed
upon vice and immortality. in the Re
public there has been many screws
loose, for many long days past. We
hear Of many men. at home. as we'll as
abroad, being supported for Office, who
are VIGOROUSLY known for being de-
void of every domestic, as well as pub
lie virtue-men. VIGOROUSLY known to
be dishonest tricksters, by the people
who bride, the dishonest element Of
society, and the country instead of be-
ing governed by an enlightened and
patriotic democracy, is made to dance
to the music Of hired organs, and pol
itical CANDLES, for whom the title of
"wire-workers" and "black-legs." is
an honor they do not deserve.
