Partialities at Fairs.
From the American Agriculturist.
One Of the minor hindrances to the
success Of our Agricultural and Horti-
cultural Fairs, Is the real or fancied in
Justice done to exhibitors. When
man takes great trouble and goes to
somc expense in preparing to exhibit
stock or grain, or fruit or flowers, and
then finds his articles sighted, and
the premiums given to less deserving
competitors, he feels hurt, and pehaps
resolves to abandon the Society and its
exhibitions. Every year witnesses cas-.
es OF this kind. And so it happens that
good contributors fall Off every year, and
their places are poorly supplied by new
corners, or not at all. Not only do infiu-
entiai suppva ts.- a.~r ~. hat uith their
detection the quality Of the exhibitions
declines, and spectators go home every
year declaring the Fair humbug, not
worth attending again.
Now, to avoid such troubles, it is inn
portant, first Of all to secure good men
for judges. They should be men above
all mean and petty prciudices and par
tialities, men thoroughly competent to
decide on the merits Of the articles pre-
scnted before them, and who will give
time and thought to their examination.
They should be the guests of the Society
and be entertained, free of expense, dur
ing the Fair.
The time for appointing the Executive
Board who select the Judges, is mt the
winter meeting Of the local Society
Let all the members attend this meeting,
and see to 1t that good and true men are
chosen as officers. Then, let this Board
give time and careful thought to the
choice Of Judges. The success of the So
ciety will depend much on this. But
when the Judges have been appointed,
the exhibitor should thenccforth dismiss
all suspicious Of partiality, and take the
decisions Of the Judges as given in good
faith. Let us remember that We are apt
to think more highly Of our own articles
than we ought to to think. The Judges
have to look on all sides Of case in or
der to render due Justice to all parties.
Putting faith in their honor and fairness,
we should bear with occasional disap-
pointments quietly. This course il
right in itself, and is tho Only way in
which Society and fairs can be succ ess-
fully maintained.
Nevertheless, it Is important that the
judges should feel their responsibility as
men, to render unbiased judgment, and
we think that over every department a
member of the Executive Board should
preside, and while he watches narrowly
the behavior orofcXhibitors, some of fwhom
will leave no stone unturned to infIu-
ence Judges in their favor, he should be
ready to entertain objections to Judges
or to their action and in ease proof is
afforded Of improper bias, it should be in
his power to arrest proceedings and have
a new committee appointed or the un-
fair man removed. The position Of a
Judge at a fair is thankless one, and
should be made as light and agreeable to
honest men as possible. But the Exec
utivc Committee should avoid men who
SIX for appointment, or who are nomina-
ted by exhibitors in the classes they in
spect.

The Story Of the Fourth Of March
l065.-Where johnson got
His Brandy

The scene on March 4, 1855, when An
drew Johnson disgraced himself, and al
most degraded the high office he was
elected to I'll, have heard related, with
out restraint by gentleman to whom
Vice President Hamlin told it. It runs
thus:
Mr.. Hamlin was in the room known
as the Vice Presidents, about IL o'clock,
when the Vice President elect arrived.
There was nothing unusual in his ap-
pearance, except that he did not seem in
robust health. The usual courtesics be-
ing exchanged, conversation proceeded
on ordinary topics for few minutes,
when Mr.. johnson asked Mr.. Hamlin If
he had any liquor In the room, stating
that he was sick and nervous. He was
told that there was mono, but 1t could be
sent for. Brandy being indicated, a bot
tie was brought out by one of the pages.
1t was opened, a tumbler provided, and
Mr.. johnson poured it about two-thirds
full. Mr.. Hanllin, said, in telling it,
that If Mr.. johnson ordinarily took such
drinks a. that, he must be able to stand
great deal. After few minutes the
bottle was placed in one of the book
cases, out of sight.
When near 12o'clock, the sergcant-at-
arms, Mr.. Brown, came to the door, and
suggested that the gentlemen get ready
to enter the chamber. Mr.. Hamlin rose,
moved to the door near which the SER
geant-at-arms stood, and suggested to
Mr.. johnson to come also. The latter
got up and walked nearly to the door,
when, turning to Mr.. Hamlin, he said,
Excuse me a moment" and walked
back hastily to where the bottle was de-
posted. Mr.. Hamlin saw him take it
out, pour as large a quantity into the
glass as before, and drink it down like
water. They then went into the Senate
chamber.
