The naughtlcst thing that Blltz ever did
was to disturb negro meeting some
years ago In Belknap street, Boston. The
story Is not generally known. rs IL would
perhaps have led to some personal trouble
TO him had It been represented TO the au-
thoritics.
All Boston knows or has heard OF the
negro preacher, Father Snowdcn, who
held forth to his cplorcd friends In Bel
knap street, for so many years. Il was a
quiet summers afternoon when the house
was well flllcd-thcrc being revival Of
religion going on-whcn Blltz with some
other persons (although he Is himself as
dark rs mulatto, and has "curly hair"
TO boot entered the house. II was pretty
warm weather; but things went on nicely
enough until the minister warmed up In
his subject, aud was using words almost
too long for common-sized dictionary,
when Blitz thought II was about time TO do
something.
"And the Lord said unto Moses
"Bow-wow-wow," came apparently
from behind the speaker.
The congregation looked each other In
the face with countenances darker than
ever, while Father Snowdcn, after staring
behind himself, seemed TO come 10 the con-
clusion that the noise proceeded from the
street, and so he commenced again.
"And the Lord said unto Moses"
"Ain't you ashamed Of yourself ? take
your bands or Of 81" said voice pro-
cceding apparently from neat mulatio
g,rl who sat IN the front pew, and upon
whom NIL eyes were now turned.
~ didn't touch yer!" said the man next
10 her, In amazemcnt.
Some smiled and said, "Sam johnson
ought TO be ashamed OF himself 10 act 80
In meeting" and the minister frowned
upon him in way that would have thaw-
cd SNOWFALL outright, afler which Mr..
Snowden attempted once more To resume
his remarks.
"And the Lord said unto Moscs''--
wen, WHAT uiu uc say Chnc iIVm al
attentive listener In the side aisle.
The minister was astoundcd. lie look
cd ut the man rs though his boldness had
electrified him, some Of the congregation
began to think that under the circumstan-
ccs, the inquiry was very natural aud
appropriate one. As TO the minister him
self. he was little vexed now and repeat
cd with emphasis
"And the Lord said unto Moses
Fire! Fire!" roarcd voice which
seemed to come from the entrance Of tho
house, with startling earnctness.
This was too much TO bear tameIy.
Even the minister rushed TO the door and
tho afrrightcd women screamed like mad.
as they huddlcd and pushed each other
out Of the pcws and down tho aisle. Bon
nets suffered some on tho occasion, and
when they all got fairly out, they looked
IN to the top Of the Westinghouse, pa
tientiy to see the flames burst through tho
slated roof.
And there Blltz lcft them standing, their
eyes rolled hcavenward, and Parson Snow

is arranged by the Department and sent

Is so much interest manifested by farmers
upon this subject, that send you table

Tho New York Tribune insists that the
duty Of Sl.e5, in gold, imposed on foreign
coal shall be removed. That duty WAS
levied for the purpose Of protecting the
American labor engaged in mining coal,
and now tbs New York Tribune insists that
it be repealed. The infamous combination
in Pennsylvania tr which coal is Kept at an
e1ozbitant price, regardless Of the cost Of
mining it, and which can only be main
tanned by the exclusion Of ali competition,
has attracted the attention of the whole
country. But the duty on coal and the op.
preston which it authorizes is t1iding con.
pared with the duty laid By the tariff OF
other articles no less indispensable, and the
taxation Of which reaches every man, wo-
MIN and ch,ld in tho country. While Con
greas is removing the tag on coal, let it in.
clude all other taxes on articles Of prime
necessity.

THE JUp1c1ARY OF NEW YORK


The war OF injunctions now going on il
New York is ono of tho most successful in
stances Of total judiciary depra,ity on re-
cord The leader in that WEI enjoys M
tionM notoriety; but there are few Judges
NAo would feel themselves Aouored by d
similar one. The performances in the great
contest Of Drew aud Vanderbilt, and later
between Fisk and tho Erie stockholders, aud
uow between Fisk and the Susquehanna
Railsoad, hare not failed to strike the coun-
try with alarm. To the credit Of the ju-
diciary Of the country, the American people
have had bnt few occasions to deplore
tho use Of the bench for tyraunical
or corrupt purposes. The judiciary has
been regarded as the peculiar shield Of pub
Lie aod private rights, and rarely, indeed,
has Judge had the courage to defy public
sentiment BY an open connivance With fraud
md infamy. The nation has regarded with
well-founled alarm the success Of few
gamblers in railroad interests in New York,
whereby the public interest, the public con-
senieuce, and the very lives Of passengers
on one Of the great trunk railroad routes of
the country, hare been sacrificed TO swell
the gains Of upstart jobbers, but the public
Indignation laH been even greater at the
seeming facility with which the schemes Of
sucb men have found julicial support aud
protection III the St.ste uf New York. The
war Of injunctions Of last year was disgrace
f,l IN the extreme, and il WIS duplicated
with the addition Of resort to arms and
the collision Of armed forces. Judges issue
their injunctions and their warrants Of ar
rest with utter disregard Of the proceedings
Of each other, aud in direct conflict with
other warrants and other injunctions. In
MI these affairs Judge Barnard has appeared
as an active performer, using his judiciul
authority without STINT, and, IS il appears
to outsiders, with determination to brow
beat and oyetwhelm the authority Of all
other Judges having, at least, equal juris-
i3icticp with himself,
