head and the motion Of the deft little fin
gers as they glded over the paper, until at
last curious fancies seemed to creep into
his brain, and he began to indulge in glow
ing dreams Of how wonderfully such
little woman as that would brighten up his
lonely and cheeress home. M
But he determined to proceed cautiously.
He had it. His housekeeper was about to
leave; he would offer Miss Gardner the
situation-and then.
Having formed this resolution, his next
step was to request the young Iady's pres
ence in his private Office, a summons that
was promptly obeyed.
"Miss Gardner don't you think the Sit

mine, for instance, would be preferable to

Ever since the change in Chief of
Police, the Times has manifested
symptoms of rabies, and whenever
it could damage the present incum-
bent by mean ard low insinuations, it
has siezed the. opportunity, feasted on
the mess, and dished it cut to its read
ers. Its coarse and biackguard ibels
on Mr.. Horney are thus answered by
the Board of Police-Mr. H. having
demanded an investigation of the
charges made against him by that pa
per:
"At meeting of the Police Board,
held on the evening Of the I'd instant,
for the purpose of investigating GER
tain charges made through the Rich
mond Times, against some portion of
the police force, and also, formally in
writing to the Board, against Alexan-
der Horney, Chief Of Police, for vio-
lating one Of the rules for the govern
ment of the Chief, and all the wit
nesses who were named in connection
with the charge, as having any knowl-
edge of the transaction complained of,
were taken. After full investiga-
ton of the matter, and hearing the
testimony Of the witnesses, the Board
concluded that the Chief was not
guilty of any violation of the rules,
and had done nothing which deserved
censure or condemnation, and the
Board exonerated him from having
done any wrong. or anything that was
i, not entirely iustifable under the cir

From all parts of the country we
hear Of the enforcement of the Bax-
ter bill, and just in proportion as it is
enforced, does rowdyism give place to
civilization. The reign of terror pro-
duced by the whisky traffic has been
even more horrible than that produc-
ed by the slave Oligarchy the last
quarter Of century before the great
rebellion, but the friends of the traf-
fic, like the old proslavery rebels, by
assuming to govern the country, have
aroused the Temperance people to .
sensc Of degradation to which the ma
ton was drifting, and to-day the light
is breaking through the dark cloud
that is hanging over our country on
account Of drunkenness and it's con-
scquent pollution. All VIC want now
is vigorous enforcement of the laws,
and they can and will be enforced, if
the temperance men will only stand
by the authorities and give them the
proper moral support Manchester Re

Back PAY OF Judges,

The Superior Court at Indianapolis

ion of Judge Perkins in regard to the
back pay construction of the law rails
ing the salaries of Judges. An act of
the Legislature, approved March 10,
1873, raised the salary of Circuit
Judge from $1,000 to $4,000 per an
mum, payable quarterly, as before.
The court holds therein, inasmuch as
the first quarter for the year was not
due until April l, that Judges are en-
titled to the increase from January /.

We had the pleasure, few days
ago, of meeting this gentleman on the
street, and taking him by the hand.
1t has been a number of years since
he visited Richmond. He says that
some Of the old ''land marks" of the
0lace-such as Friends meeting house,
near the depot, the Warner building,
etc., remain-but most of the streets
and buildings present a new and
strange appearance that he did not ex-
pect to find in Richmond. The grove
east of town, known as STAIRS woods,
wherein he delivered Fourth of July
grafton, in 1853, the last one he ever
delivered in this part Of the county,
has disappeared, and in its place are
costly houses, and broad, finely paved
streets, traversed by the horse cars.
The Judges health is good, and he
looks as if he could wear, with becom-
ing dignity, the ermine for forty years
more.
Speaking of Judge Test, reminds
us of an anecdote he used to tell illus
tratiye of his own appreciation of his
age and strength. Now, it must be
borne in mind, that, Notwithstanding
the frosts of many winters have set
tied upon his locks, he is net near 50
old a man as stranger would take
him to be. A few years ago, we we're
in the Bates House, engaged in con-
versation with a friend, when the
Judge approached us, wearing Sc
rious expression on his countenance,
and pointing out an old gentleman in
the crowd, said:
Do you see, said the Judge, that
Internal old scoundrel there?"
J 1--WE do" was our response.
; ''Well, few minutes ago he APP
preached me, and extending his hand,
said: How do you do, Judge Test:
How do you do, sir?' I took his hand
'ooked him square in the face, bui
could not recognize him. What said
I he astonished old gentleman, dom
know me; I knew you when I was q
little boy?'"
