From the Chicago Post Dec. 9th
The animated contest among the
friends of the different candidates for
Judge of the United States Circuit
Court of the circuit composed of Min
nesota, Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas,
Nebraska, and Kansas, was decided
by the appointment Of the Hon. John
f. Dillon, of Iowa. This gentle
man is not widely known to the gen
eraI public, but has very high re-
putation in the legal profession. He
has never been politician, but has
held judicial Office for many years,
first, as Judge of the District Court
of the Seventh Iowa District. and
since 1868 as one Of the Judges of
the Supreme Court of that State, of
which he is now Chief Justice. He
has also for some time occupied the
chair of the law professorship at

His opinions in the Supreme Court
are always forcibly and clearly writ

those of any of our State. Judges.
If the appointments for all the cir
cults of the new United States courts
are as ''eminently fit to be made as
those of Judge Drummond tor the
Illinois and Judge Dillon for the
Iowa circuit, the country will long
have cause of congratulation on ju-
dicary ofeminent learning, OF talents,

The Custom of Giving Bridal
Gifts.

Speaking on this subject the New
York World has the following sensible
remarks:
" As things go nova days, an inyitation
to . wedding is no laughing matter.
Those pasteboard squares, with their en-
tanglement of monograms, summon us to
take part in a great many absurdities of
custom; but ofall these the most absurd
and burdensome is that of giving pres
ents. Tae fact is that marrying people
practice upon all their friends at the pres
ent day system eff bare faced extortion,
without giving them the right to resent
or expose it. There is no pretense OF
spontaneity or sentiment in those gifts ;
they are purchased because they must be,
and this the receiver will understand.
The exaction upon people of moderate
means, rating their affections before the
town by the number of dollars they are
able or willing to invest on the occasion,
and notifying them if the gift be small
| by parading it, with name attached. in
contrast with the outlay of weather.
friends, is SO essentially vulgar and indel-
| icate that it is wonder how it ever came
to be tolerated in any society claiming to
be refined The custom is absurd, also,
as well as vulgar and burdensome. when
one comes to reflect upon it. The matri-
manial party really g IN nothing, for they
have to pay the same A. value when the
donors invite them to similar OCCASION
o.their gifts are simply loans. How
many times the bride must have said
"Thank you very much, how lovely it
isl" over this amount of plate, when she
knows that the equivalent which must be
given for it in the future would purchase
a aniform service after her own heart
As it is, each couple find themselves pos
sessed of Heterogeneous mass of silver
were, not only unlike in design, but with
excuses and deficiencies which nobody
could foresee. We have heard of one
BRIDE with self-control enough to smile
secretly on receiving her fourth soup la
|dle, and her white lies of gratitude must
surely be pardoned to her for their very
heroism."
