The stranger who, in passing through
our ely, turns aside to pay the tribute
of Sigh to the illusrsious dead, as he
xncovers his head in Presence of th+
monument erected above the mortal re-
mains of James X. Polk, does homage
not more to the memory of the departed
statesman, than to the living devotion OF
his wife A chord in each heart is touch
ed to soc how, in her sweet Womanly
way, she has deprived this gave If its
loneliness by placing it in the pleasure
grounds of their beautiful home. Amid
the walks, Which doubtless they planned
together, and along which they have Of
ten wandered, has she placed the tomb
Of her beloved. Time has, p rhaps, sof,
tened her sorrow until, instead Of mourn
ing the tie severed by death, her thoughts
turn forward to their blisstul reunion IN
tie spirit world.
We have in our mind an ideal picture
of this lady who so graciously y and grace
flu ly dispensed the hospi'alities of the
Presidential mansion. In all the domes
ticit .es and socialities of life she was ac.
knowledsed worry hrlllnate to hel
honored husband. And now, in her wi
dowhood and retirement, it is honorable
to the representatives other country thai

and to express by their high7oned cour

and their reverence f,r der husband

Anecdotes Of EntrrPrsSing Rc-
POrterS.

The competition of reporters for "ex-
clusive' bits of local news is as ener-
getic in England as it is in this country
In one instance a reporter had very
nearly go: into trouble by his zeal. He
lived mile or So out of town, and on one
side of the road for considerable part
Of the way, was thick grove. AS he
was returning home late one night, after
having seen the paper to press, he OBJ
served that one OF the trees near the
roadside had an unusual appearance
Going within the fence, he discovered
that the body Of a man was suspended
from une of the branches. Hurriedly
cutting it down, he drew the body into a
part of the grove where the underground
was thick, intending to conceal it.
This done he went home Next morn
ing he was taken into custody, on a
charge of willful murder, and brought
before a magistrate A gameke-psr
going tn, ough the wood. at early day
light, had discovered the body in its
place of concealment, and some other
person remembered that, about mid
light. he had seen the reporter issue
from the grove. The case was suspi
cious-until constable, searching tht
pockets of the dead man, discovered ;
written statement containing his name
and place of abode and declaring t)a
domestic misfortune had made life 81
undesirable that he had resolved to com
init suicide. Of course the reporter was
discharged. lis explanation was tt
the effect that, finding such fine bi

paper, he had concealed the corpse, il
order that the rival journal, which wa
to appear on the next day, should no
profit by the news? But for the suicide
confession, pretty srong case of cir
cumstautial evidence might have bee'
made to the peril of the night of th'
pen. Another of this class entered TIL

Woman OH the Rench-WOmen
Judges in Wyoming Territory.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette writes from. Wyoming Terri
| tory:
Wyoming Territory is governed by
J. A. Campbell, late of Ohio, and it is
IN this territory that women suffrage
reigns in all its glory. There women
sit on jures and administer laws. The
last grand jury drawn at Laramie shows
a clear majority of female names. A
short time since, the Governor appoint
ed several ladies justices of the peace,
and they have entered upon the duties
of their Offices. One of the new justices
is for the mining region at South Pass
City. The single miners seem to like
heir female judges, and pay great res
ppct to the court. The South Pass
N'eus gives this account of a case re-
recently tried before Mrs. Judge Nor
rs:
"Much interest is manifested in a
trial held in our city on Wednesday
last, not so much from the Importance
of the case as from its novel character.
It was a prosecution against one of the
offirers # Carter county, to recover a
fine provided hv the law making the
new county of Sweetwater, in case Ger
tain officers should fail to deliver over
the records of their offices to their sue
cps>ors The proceeding was com
monced before Mrs. f Morris, the new
lv-appointed and qualified justice of
the reace, and much interest was mani
tested to witness judicial proceeding
with woman for judge.
1.-The trial was held in a crowded
houee. and it must be admitted that in
the manner of holding court our justice
might we'll be taken for an example in
point of dignity and propriety of action
and department. The case was ds-
missed by Justice Morris, on the
ground that she being the successor Of
the accused herself, could not with
nropriety try the case, as being party
interested. This, whether technically
correct or not. shows deIicacy of fee:
ing in regard to the rights OF others very
crpdi'ahle to the head and heart Of our
new official, and which is eminently
worthy of imitation.
"There is one of these Wyoming fe
male JUICES who administers the police
affairs of a certain young city, and who
is said to have caused great commotion
by the severity of her judgments or
offenders If you take a drop to much
of the 'crather up you 60 for the full
extent of The law, and no amount Of
pleading or promises will soften the jn
dicial heart. Then if a weak sister i:
caught, there is an end to her SHINING
for she is locked up hard and fast ant
kept in durance vile until she is ready
to migrate to other lands, where no fe
male judges are.'
