Good Story OF a Kentucky Judge.

An incident in the judicial career
Of the Hon. Thomas B. Monroe.
who, for over twenty-five years,
occupied the position of Federal
Judge in Kentucky, will illustrate
the high purity of his character. and
may serve to remind the Judiciary
of our day how conscientiously tie
Judges of the olden time held the
scales Of justice.
A student in the Judges law
school one day asked him if in
deciding cause he ever had felt
any bias or prejudice for or against
the parties. The Judge promptly
said: 'Never but once; I'll tell You
the story. There was a very i'm
portant case which was argued with
great ability before me by the most
distinguished lawyers at the bar of
Frankfort, and it took two weeks
in the trial. Every morning as
the court opened little woman
dressed in black, modesuy and
urassumingly courtesied to the
court as ii unseen, and took her
seat near the door. just before
the court adjourned she retired,
not without making always a cour-
tesy. It attracted my attention,
and inquired who she was, was
told she was party to the suit
then on trial When the cause was
submitted. and I was preparing nv
opinion, ! found it impossible TO
dismiss from my mind that little
woman and her courtesy. l began
to doubt whether could do ms
tice in the case. / studied the mat
ter very closely, finally decided in
her favor. 1t involved the title of
all she possessed in the world. Il
never" said the old Judge, "was
entirely satisfied that my decision
was correct, untila il was finally
unanimously affirmed by the Su.
preme Court Of the United States.
| feared my judgment had been
warped by the simplicity and deli
cacy of the little woman in
black. ."-New Orleans Tme,

New Discov ries in Geology.

The Independent says: AS
some persons have reported that
DR.. Carpenter, one of the leading
Investigators of the character of
the ocean bottoms by means Of the
dredge, has represented that tie
late discoveries made by the dredg-
ing expeditions upset modern ge-
ology, he has given in Nature a
full exposition OF the bearing, as
he sees it, of the discoveries on
geological science. He believes
that we may truly say that the
dispositions Of the Chalk Period
have been going on in the deep
seas, undisturbed to the present
time, and characterized by the
same essential constituents-that
is, globigerinel, coccoliths, sponge,
spicules, and foramin:fers-now
as in tie time of the white chalk.
But this, he says, does not indi-
cate any denial of the great doc
trines Of the regular succession of
strata deposited at different periods
and characterized by different fos-
sils, which have long been &C.
knowledged. These discoveries,
however, show that the entire diff
ference in Theological character
and in fossils of two beds is not
proof that they we're not cotempo-
raneous. We find that the mere
difference of q few hundred feet
deep, accompanied with a current
of cold instead of warm water, will
give a gravel instead Of an oozy
bottom and an arctic fauna. Still
further, the presence OF such an
arctic fauna in the deep seas, even
within temperate or tropi, al lati-
tudes, shows that the discovery of
similar fossil shells in a sandstone
would be of no proof a glacial Pc.
