Mr. Atkinson on a Raid against the
Maine Judiciary.

Not to know Mr.. Atkinson of Emblem ar
CUES ones self unknown. We have no doubt
but our courts take cognizance of him and his
acts of their own motion, without his being
suggested, as they do of the President and
Governor, the existence of the Republic, the
solar system, and all 'great and universal ac-
knowledged facts in nature in human relations
and In history. Wherever monopoly rears its
head, there is Mr.. Atkinson, to administer
chastisement; wherever the great topics of
taxation, representation, the execution of the
laws and the administration of justice are de-
bated, there is Mr.. Atkinson giving the sub
ject under consideration hispersonal attention
II he has cause before our courts, either at
nasi prtus or at the law terms, as he very often
does, then he is in his glory. Though he has
no legal training, he does not hesitate to
speak for himself and at great length. Not
unfrequently differences of opinion arise be-
tween him and the learned bench. and on
such occasions Mr.. Atkinson does not hesitate
to berate the judiciary of Maine in good set
terms. AS member of the Legislature few
years ago he frequently addressed the House
and, if we are not mistaken, is to be credited
with the paternity Of the committee on legal
reform. At any rate this committee was his
favorite sphere of effort, and if he had contin-
ued member of the House we doubt if it
would have.become sort.of auxiliary judiciary
committee, composed of lawyers, as it now
has
So much of biography is due to the gentle
man who was announced in our Augusta dis
patches as the inspirer of the order introduce
ed IN the Senate, Monday, directing the Ju-
dietary Committee to inquire into the expe-
dlency OF providing for the punishment of
Justices OF the Supreme Court for malfeas-
ance or corruption. 1t is well known that
Mr.. Atkinson is Of the opinion that the JUS
tices of our Supreme Court are not altogeth-
er what they should be, to put it very mildly
indeed. In this opinion, as in many other
things, he is, so far as we know, original. The
judiciary of Maine is usually, we might say
ALMOST universally, regarded as credit to the
S'"'e IL we ever wish to eXalt Maine above
her sisters and indulge in little harmless
anu peacapie eSotlsm, there is no rIaasanter |
way IMAM 10 contrast the conduct 90
judges with that Of Barnard, Cardozo ~, W
those proverbally corrupt and wicked MY, on
whom we habitually think as the CO. ~
thralls" of Fisk, Vanderbilt, Gould or some
other railroad king, or as wearing the livery
of Tammany Hall. So that in this case Mr..
Atkinson seems to have undertaken work
of supererogation, but his zeal is to be COM
mended nevertheless.

STARVATION AMONG THE BRITISH INDI-
ANs.-The st. Paul Press of last Thursday
notes the arrival there of Capt. Wallis and
Mr.. Mcdonnell, from Fort William, in the
Rainy Lake region, little northwest of Lake
Superior, who brought reports of the terrible
state of restitution among the Indians in that
quarter:
Before these gentlemen left the fort, reports
came in from various parts of the interior, to
the effect that the Indians were starving to
death. One Indian died of starvation on the
Northwestern shore of Dog Lake, distant
about one hundred miles from Fort William,
in the latter part OF January, and many others
were reported in such furnishing condition
that they would probably perish before relief
could reach them.
On their way down, these gentlemen con-
versed with trader from Vermillion, and he
reports great restitution among the Indians
there. Indeed, reports of starvation reached
them at all the trading posts on the way
down, and these gentlemen think that many
deaths from absolute starvation will be heard
of soon. The causes of this restitution are q
scarcity Of fish and game. The fish seem to
have deserted the shallow waters in the inte-
| rior from some unknown cause, and par
tridges, reindeer. and hares are not to be
found at ALL
The long and severe rains of last season
seem to have almost extinguished the par
trldges and hares and where they were to be
found by hundreds during previous winters,
there are none to be had this winter at all.
The reindeer, from some cause, have depart
ed to some other section, and on the whole
journey our informant only heard of five be-
ing killed.
What makes the matter worse, is the fact
that nearly all of the traders are out of pro-
visions. Mr.. Parker,the trader at Pigeon iver,
has no provisions, his vessel having been
wrecked last fall at Ontonagon. All the
other traders are in about the same cond-
ton.
The party left Fort William on Tuesday,
the 7th Of February, on snow shoes, with two
faithful and very expert Chippewa Indian
guides.
On Wednesday there was terrible storm,
and snow fell to the depth of about one foot,
in addition to that previously on the ground,
making in all about five feet of snow upon
the ground.
They state that the whole country, from
Fort William to Superior, is covered with
snow to the depth of flom four to five feet
At Fort William, on the night of January II,
1t was 81 degrees Fab. below zero, and on the
night of Feb. it was 46 degrees Fab. below.
At A. NJ. on the Sd of February, it was SO
degrees Fab. below zero.

A CURIOUS LEeEND.-When Adam was
far advanced in years and at the point of
death, he sent his son to the angel Michel,
who kept the gate of Paradise, to pray for the
oil of mercy, so that he could be healed. The
angel answered that it could not be until fifty
FIVE hundred years, but he gave Seth branch
of the tree of which Adam had eaten, bidding
him plant it on Mount Lebanon, and that when
il bore fruit his father should be healed. Seth
planted the branch on his fathers grave; it
took root and grew, and from it were made
Aaron's rod, and Moses staff with which he
struck the rock and sweetened the waters of
Marah. 1t also formed the pole on which the
brazen serpent was lifted up, and the ark Of
the testimony rested.
At last it came into the hands of Solomon,
who used it in building his palace; but it con-
tinually resisted the efforts of the builders to
adjust it. Now it was too long, and then again
too short. The builders, being angry, then
threw it into marsh, so that it might serve as
a bridge. The Queen of Sheba would not
walk upon, but adored it, and told Solomon
that upon it should be suspended the man
through whose death the kingdom should be
destroyed. Solomon then had it buried deep
in the ground, where afterward the pool of
Bethesda was dug, and from the virtues of this
tree, healing properties were impaired to the
waters After it had been buried three hum
dred years it rose to the surface of the water,
and the Jews took it and made of it the Cross
of our Saviour.-Lippincotf Magazine.
