JUDGE MckINsTRY ON BETTING
Some time since the betting case of Bre-
men VS. Smith, was referred to Harvey,
Clerk of the Court, to report judgment.
On Monday he reported in favor of the
defendant The plaintiff counsel there
upon moved to set aside this, and urged
that by decision of the Supreme Court
of this State either party to a wager may
recant before the result is known. Judge
Mckinstry in passing on the case, re-
marked that under the ruling of some
State Courts, as in this State, money may
be Withdrawn which has been deposited
on bet at any time before the result is
determined. In Others the Courts go so
far as to say the act is illegal, immoral,
and that no action can lie against the
stakeholder that the court will not take
any notice of the transaction. He
thought this the wisest rule of all, but he
would have to bow to that laid down by
the Supreme Court of California, rule
which imposes on our Courts of Justice
the duty of deciding bets, and these bets
may as well be bets on faro game as
wagers on election results. In the pres
ent case the bet was on a result, the
election of Grant and Seymour; that re-
suit was known before the bet was paid
over, and cannot be recovered back. The
Court, therefore. still protesting against a
rule which imposes such duty on it, af-
firmed the report of the referee, and
gave judgment for the defendant.-S S

old fable informs us that man who was
in the habit of arraigning the DEGREES cf
Providence, being seated in garden, be-
gan to wonder why such monstrous
fruit as the pumpkin should grow on
slender, slowly-creeping plant, while the
giant oak, the monarch of the forest,
bore nothing bigger than an acorn. In
the midst of his cogitations, an acorn fell
from the tree underneath which he was
sitting, and smote him on the pate
whereupon the captious philosopher was
fain to acknowledge that Providence was
wiser in its arrangements than he had
previously fancied. But the moral which
this story would inculcate does not ap-
pear to be universally applicable In the
island of Borneo, there is forest tree as
large as an elm, which produces highly
esteemed fruit called the durian. 1t may
be observed in passing, that though this
fruit has smell like that of putrid fish,
SO that single specimen is enough to in
feet whole house, its flavor is so delio-,
ious, that those who venture to taste it
soon become confirmed durian eaters. The
eatable portion, which consists of q rich,
creamy, custard-like substance, is en-
closed in hard shell, a good deal larger
than coooa-nut, and completely cover
ed with sharp spines. When one Of
these fruits fall. as it not unfrequently
does, from the hight of fifty or sixty
feet upon the back of naked native, It
inficts most frightful wound. The APP
ologue above cited, therefore, will scarce
y hold good in Borpeo.

RADICAL LOVE FOR THE SOLDIER.-
The Radicals of Washington Territory are
just now cndeavoring to run down Govern
or NJ. L. Moore and secure his place for An
derson Cox. We have here another Illus
tration of how much the Radicals care for the
soldier. Governor Moore is one of the band
of brave men who followed Sherman in his
memorable march from Atlanta to the sea,
and with his commander shared all the
psrils and glory of that most remarkable
campaign. but not being Radical in poll
ties, he is to be huntod down to make room
for patriot who never "smclt gunpow-
DER" and whose only recommendation for
perfcrmcnt is the fact that he Is an cx-
pert at putting up primary meetings and
in controlling partisan conventions. Gov
ernor Moore fought for the country, and
Anderson Cox intrigued for his parity
this latter service, according to Radical
practice, outwcighs any sacrifice Of life and
health on the field of battle. and so Moore,
the soldier, is to be turned out to make
room for Cox, the political managcrand trick
ster. 1t is possible that Grant will see it in
this light, but we doubt it.-Statesman.
