Our old friend Phil-excuse us, we should
say-Judge Emerson, Wallingford boy,
will be initiated into his new position, as
one of the judges of the United States
Court for the territory of Utah, in hearing
the, hereafter to be memorable, divorce
suit of Ann Eliza Young nee Webb. for n
uoW TANKS as number seventeen ON roll
call, and Is anxious for the promotion of
those who come after her, by stepping out
and leaving her position for those who
stand in the regular line of promotion. She
claims, in addition to divorce, the modest
little alimony of two hundred thousand
dollars, an almony, pending the suit, of
one thousand dollars month, and an
allowance of twenty thousand dollars for
counsel fees. The hearing on the motion
for temporary alimony and an allowance
for counsel fees will be heard August 9th,
and these are the questions that will come
before the new judge We little thought
when he was quietly plodding away at his
law books in Wallingford, that we should
ever be called upon to announce his presid-
ing at Mormon divorce suit, with Brig
ham Young, another Vermonter-b re-
creant son thereof--as defendant. Such,
however, are the changes in the life of
many an American boy. We can safely
leave Ann Eliza with the judge.

Some faint idea of the prevalence of
crime in New York city may be gained
from The estimates of Comptroller Green
for new city prison, to take the place of
the Toombs. No one will accuse the
Comptroller of buying too much land,
building too large prison. or expanding
more money for the purpose than is abso-
lutely necessary. He says that eighty
thousand square feet of land will be needed
and that there will be one thousand pris-
oners in constant occupancy of the prison.
That is to say, that one out of every nine
hundred inhabitants-men, women and
children-are constantly in the city prison,
without taking into the account the States
prisons, reform schools, etc Notwithstand
ing the appalling picture here presented
persons, competent to form an opinion
say that it is an underestimate made fol
economical purposes.

A telegram from New York reports that
the state department is negotiating a treaty
with Belgium for the cxtradition of crimi-
mails, and that it is to he made retroactive,
in order to cover the case of Carl Vogt.
We have faith to believe that the idea
originated in the brain of some sensation
monger, and has its sole foundation-if 1t
has any basis at all-in the possible fact that
the Secretary of State and Minister Resi-
dent OF Belgium are talking about and,
perhaps, negotiating treaty for the extra
dition of criminals. No such treaty now
exists, and recent events have demonstrated
its Importance. The sound, legal, CONNIE n
sense and just opinion of Attorney General
Williams, wherein he decides that, under
existing law and treaties, Carl Vogt could
not be taken from this country for trial,
has been acquiesced in everywhere The
reasoning is so plain and simple that it
could he understood by everyone, and the
alternative presented, as the result of a
contrary decision. would have been fatal to
the liberty of foreign born residents of this
country. If Vogt had been remanded to
Germany for trial, then, under the same
treaty, German committing a murder in
Rutland could, also, have been removed 10
Germany for trial. International law. AS
it is now accepted by nearly all the civil
lied nations of the earth, recognizes the
right of asylum, and prohibits the removal
of an alleged criminal from one country
for trial in another-where the crime was
actually committed-in the absence of ex-
press treaty stipulation. The one govern
ment has not the right to demand, or the
other TO surrender, a person, charged with
crime, who has fled the country, unless, by
treaty, the right has been conceded by the
one to the other. 1t were, perhaps, better
that this matter should always be left to be
provided for by international agreements,
until political Offenses shall be unknown
and definitions of crimes are alike in all
countries. 1t would be high treason-the
highest crime known to the law-for sub
jects of Great Britain to 'rebel" against
the monarchy and endeavor to establish a
republic in its place. The persons engaged
In such an attempt would, If detected there
in, suffer the extreme penaltylof the law /;
yet they would be welcome to an asylum
in America, and never would the people or
government consent to their surrender.

The question is often asked what will be
done with the money received from Great
Britain under the Geneva award, prior to
the passage of law providing for its dis

our readers will join with lis in the regret,
that the condition of Vice-Presidcnt Will

apprehended. His face is distorted and his
voice impaired by the paralytic stroke
from which he is suffering. He is now I'M

A PLEA FOR SEwING.-If any one wants
to get the better of unruly nerves, no surer
way can be devised than learning to sew.
If want Of exercise causes nervousness

but as an alternative to study, or as occu-

supreme. Sitting all day over sewing is
as injurious as working all day at the desk
or teaching or painting, not any more SO.
There are hundreds of women with limited
incomes who dawdle and fret vacanty in
boarding houses, but always declare it
makes them nervous to sew. They should
try coarse work first, and half an hour at
a time, putting their hearts into doing it
neatly, and the liking will grow on them.
The world is gradually filling with grown
up babies, who can't do any duty without
stopping to ask whether they like it. When
they have refused all the work that is put
into their hands, these babies whine for a
career and stretch out puuy fingers for the
heaviest responsibilities, when they are
not able to hold needle and thread. Toe

thoroughly good, able woman, wise and

up in old-fashioned days of work-bag and
hem stitch, and her work was the dainties'
of its kind, nor did she disdain darning

thread around leg, wheneverit was posi-

had many legs, and, as soon as one was
made fast, another seemed to kick itself
loose, and the fastenings of the web had to
be attended to every other moment. so the
spider had his hands full, and it was diff
cult to imagine how it would end.
One Of the spectators was on the spi
der's side. She said she was afraid OF
wasps, and hoped this one would not get
away, and she admired the GOODNESS and
skill of the spider. Another one said her
sympathies were entirely with the wasp,
and it made her blood run cold to see the
SPIDERS deliberate proceedings. But all
agreed not to interfere on either side.
The spider had another difficulty to
contend with. While these active legs
were being fastened at one moment and
freeing themselves at another, the wasp's
four wings were whlrling like the wings OF
wind mlll--so fast that all that could be
seen vas sort of cloud or mist where the
wings should be. After failing many
times, the sp der presently succeeded il
lashing two of these wings together, and
gradually winding them tight, until they
looked more like small, dry twig than a
pair of wings. Then he took a secure
position upon these disabled wings, aud
from these contrived to throw line
around the other wings, which were still
whrling madly, and soon he had theu
firmly bound to one of the legs, so tina
they could Lot move. This appeared tt
dishearten the wasp. as well it might. Hi
efforts grew feebler and feebler, till, Fl
nalIy,th spider cautiously approached hin
and seemed to whisper in his ear, or he
may have stung him, but the wasp became
instantly motonless. His struggles were
over. Now, that it was too late, the spl
der's admlrer relented, and said she wa'
sorry for the wasp, and wished she hac
helped him.
Then the spider fastened on one side o
the wasp's head, and stayed there till tht
spectators were tired of watching him
When they looked at him again, some
time after, he had changed his position t.
