The myths Of geography, as well as

morseless criticisms Of our age. The
school boys of thirty years ago remem.
Der well the pictures Of the terrible
malestrom off the coast Of Norway, said
to be fatal to all ships coming within

prose in this scientific age, and tn
whirlpool has lost all its horrors. lik
the Scylla and Charybdis Of Virgil. A
recent traveller says: "There is no such

Justice in Wyoming has been inter.
rupted in . manner hitherto unknown
in the annals Of courts. A female JUS
tice of the peace was recently compelled
to retire Q few weeks from the bench
for reasons not wholly enconnected
with the census of the Territory-in
short, on account Of twins. Resuming
her seat in due course of time she was
again compelled to adjourn her court
in consequence Of the unwillingness,
not to say the inability, Of her husband
to minister to all the wants of the
newly arrived strangers. The husband
till maintains this position, and the
ustice hourly adjourns the cases on
trial before her in order to attend to
her maternal duties. Wherefore the
clamorous sutton whose case is thus
daily postponed il fiercely indignant,
and claims that the statute Goes not
authorize any court to place twins upon
its calender in preference to other
cases Of undoubted priority. This is .
new complication Of the woman ques-
ton and the priority of twins over all
cases on the calendar Of court pre-.
sided over by female judge will proba-
bly, have to be affirmed by o legislative
enactment whenever female suffrage il
recognized.

this bridge to reach his home. Slipping
cautiously and quietly along under pro-
lection Of the shadow, he reached its
centre. It 20 happened that q negro
who had stolen q plank on the other
side was likewise cautiously feeling his
way over the bridge, and just in the
darkest part the stolen plank struck
the timid Caucasian full in the face,
knocking him down. He arose and
fed one way, swearing to inquiring
friends that the Ku-Klux had assaulted
him, and that he only escaped with his
life. The negro dropped his plank and
made clean shoot for the other side,
reporting that the Ku.Klux had met
him on the bridge, robbed him and
maltreated him In the most fearful
manner.
