Radical Officers Bonds.

Hal, correspondent OF the u
MON and Dispatch, writing to that
paper in reference to the county
officers of Gibson County, says:
The Tax-Collector was required
to give bond of $4,000, | be-
lieve. An array of names were
offered as securities. Amongthese,
listen among these names were
whom the tax book showed to
be on the record for poll-taX only;
and listen still: three ofthe seven
were insolvent ON the poll-tax,-
Did you ever as our fair partners
would say. Wen, this is not all,
Some OF the underwriters would
write undersigners on two or three
bonds. At such heks as these,
you doubtless anticipate me, and
say, Well, as matter Of course
they get their bonds through, SO
that they can reluetaatly serve the
public" Not all had they done
this when | left. There stood j.
d. Hill pulling the tax book on
them, and fighting the gagging
of all his things through with
force of character. His facts were
too strong to be withstood, and he
led all into voting against the re-
ceiving their bonds, except three
on the bench. The record did not
show the Tax-Collector to be en-
dorsed by but $4,000, instead of
the required amount named above.
Nor was the Sheriff and Trustee
anything like up to the music in
amount. They have gone to
work afresh with all their might
to get up their bonds, and it is
. thought exceedingly doubtful if
they be ever gotten up properly.
The Tax Collector foamed his way,
charging "that he was poor man
and that there aOas arastOcracy on
the bench"

An amorous and impatier

An amorous and impatient
couple in Chesterfield county, Va,
were marriedin a buggy a few days
ago. The affianced bride had made
a journey to Richmond to select
the wedding rousseau. When
she returned by rail she was met
by her lover, with top buggy to
carry her home. On the road they
met the pastor of their church,
and, as the license had already
been obtained, the too eager bride
groom and bride insisted upon
the ceremony being performed at
once-the preacher on horseback
and they in the carriage-with a
farmer and his wife, who happen
ed to be present, for witnesses.

The New Orleans Picayune says
that the Ramie fibre is beginning
to become an article of trade at
that port, and that one merchant
there, whose name it gives, has
received orders for it from New
York, and offers double the mar
ket rate for all that he can obtain.
1t adds that demand for the f.
bre is springing up in the West,
but that no definite orders for it
from that section have yet been
received at New Orleans. As a
generous mention" of the merits
of Ramie, the Picayune says it is
as good as linen cambria or silk,
and when it comes into use, the
wearer will find that "the chief
difficulty will be that it will not
wear out when the fashion chan
ges, and he will hate to throw it "a
way, when after a couple of years
wear it is still as good as new"

The legislation of Connecticut
is strong on the oyster question:
In that State, the oyster beds are
all staked out to different owners,
by commissioners elected by the
people, under well-defined laws of
the State. Every man, woman,
and child living in the State is en-
titled to select two acres of oyster
grounds, not previously appropri-
ated, anywhere within the waters
of the State.

At st. Louis, recently, Magda
lena Voegtle, a servant, went out
to draw water from a well in the
yard. She did not return, and in.
uuiries were made about her In the
neighborhood, but nothing was
learned of her whereabouts. Four
days afterwards another woman
went to draw water, and observed
some clothing in the well. On
further examination the body OF
the missing woman was discovered
at the bottom. She had doubtless
lost her balance and fallen in head
long. The water had been in con-
slant use since the accident.

CURIOUS FACTS OF THE JUDD CASE

CURIOUS FACTS OF THE JUDD CASE.
The testimony in the divorce case OF Mrs.
Judd agt. the Rev. Orrin B. Judd, ID. d., re-
cent pastor of the First Baptist Church OF
New-Haven, is interesting for the light 1t
throws on the Independent relation which
seems to have existed in this instance between
devotional exercises and personal respectabllity'
Singular as the phenomenon may appear, the
testimony of the wife and plaintiff, Mrs. Judd,
proves that Doctor of Divinity may, without
resigning his pastoral charge make his cook
mistress of his house and his affections; may
appoint her to preside mt the family table,
and to kneel with him at the fam
ily altar; may hold family devotion
several times day, with intermediate fist fights
between the two objects of his souls affection;
NAV draw one salary from the Government for
guarding its treasures in the Assay Office, an
other from a church for preaching the Gospel
and still third from Society for the Trans
lation of the Scrptures-for the Improvements
he is able TO make in the text of the Divine
Woodland may still be so afflicted with impe-
cuniosty as to be unable to buy petticoats for
his mother, food for his wife, or clothing for
his children. We have taste for va
riety, but it would slightly muddle our
moral and religious perceptions to see
and hear the mistress of Doctor OF
Divinity kick his wife out of his bedroom to
the tune of "We're climbing up Zion's Hill"
or to know that the Reverend Doctor himself
had locked his half-st spouse into an
other bedroom, to keep her from making rad
on the family stock of provisions, while he,
and his mistress aforesaid, were locked in the
library and in each others arms, singing
Nearer, my God, to Thee" We were some
what surprised by the preference exhibited by
Mr.. McEwen of Newark, and his female friends,
for that simplicity of costume which has been
tolerated only in the purity of Eden and the
wilds of Africa but Mr. McEwens views,
though eccentric, furnish no parallel for so
remarkable religious phenomenon as the Judd
family. If the wife who tells these stories Is
insane, why have not Mr.. Judd and his friends
long since put on record the proper evidence
of her insanity, and placed her under proper
medical treatment? If the narrative OF the
wife is true, then why has there been no judi
cal determination of the question whether the
Rev. DIR. Judd WAS most OF lunatlc or a
knaveG IL they are both insane then should

tain what may be the condition as TO sanity OF

TIE DICKENS BANQUET.

The dinner given on Saturday evening by the
press of the United States to Mr. Charles Dickens
was something more than an ordinary compli-
ment from the members of the profession to
the foremost man of their craft To those who
sat around those brilliant tables, it seemed not
so much a testimonial to the genius of sue
cessful author as tribute of personal regard
for the characters with which that genius has
improved and delighted us. When Charles
Dickens took his place at the board, many
dear old friend sat down with Us unseen and
it was hard not to imagine that we were cheer
ing Sam Weller, Or r-hobnObbing with Tom
Pinch, or laughing with Mark Tapley, or gazing
into the beaming spectacles of Dlr. Pickwick.
The cordial greetings were interchanged not
only between Mr.. Dickens and the two hundred
of his admirers whose invitation he had ac-
cepted, but troops of those delightful people
who live only in his books seemed to be there
with him, and the Misunderstanding, the toasting,
the waving of handerchefs, were quite as
much for them as for their genial creator. And
so, amid lights and flowers, and the breathings
of delicate music, and the laughter of many
voices, the evening passed merrily away, as if
in the society of friends whom we had long
known in fancy but never met in the flesh.
The admirable speech in which Mr.. Dickens
acknowledged the compliment paid him will
undoubtedly add q great deal TO his personal
popularity in America, for it was just such
speech as Americans particularly like to hear
1t was frank it was cordial, it was generous;
and as for those old darts of ofiense which
have ranked so long in the wounds of few
of us, he drew them out with deft and ten
der hand, and salyed the injury with the unc
tion of little national fattery. We do not
know that he was under any obligation to do
this, but we are glad that he has done it, for
we would have him leave none but warmest
friends behind him here, and we trust that
when the ship bears him away the American
people will wish him with entire unanimity
God sreed and long life and happiness.
