The New Judge.

The Columbia Evening Herald says of
the newly elected Judge: "The Hon.
Thompson h. Cooke, Judge elect of the
Eish. Circuit, qualified to-day, and will
enter upon the discharge of his duties at
the earliest moment. His Honor is the
son Of the late Rev. John P. Cooke, who
came to this State from Pennsylvania in
the year 1915, and settled in Fairfield
County, where he shorty afterwards
married Miss Anna Pullig. Judge Cooke
was born in this State in July, 1882.
In January, ls4s, be entered the State
Military Academy and graduated at the
Citadel in Charleston some time in the
year 1851. For several years afterwards
he was engaged in teaching the young
idea how to shoot, and was regarded as
a most popular and ef6eient teacher. In
1858 Judge Cooke was admitted to the
bar and entered upon the practice oflaw
in Orange5urg County, where he has en-
joyed practice sufficient to give him
comfortable livelihood. From the earliest
moment Judge Cooke embrsced the new
faith, and has been constant and un-
flinching Republican at all times and un-
der all circumstances" /

Death Of Louis Napoleon.

The Ex-Emperor Napoleon, who died
on the 10th, at Chiselhurst, was in his
65th year, and the suddenness Of his
death has taken the world by surprise.
His career was o remarkable one, and
full of romance. He was truly said to
be the "nephew OF his uncle" Napoleon
the first. The following telegraphic &C.
count of the funeral will be read with
inteeest:
London, January 15.-The funeral of
the late ex-Emperor Of France took place
at Ghisclhurst this morning. Although
ten o'clock was the hour designated for
the procession to move froc the resi-
dence Of the late Emperor, it was thirty
minutes after that time when the hearse,
which was to convey the remains to the
chapel, drew up in front of the grand en-.
trance Of the mansion. A deputation of
Paris workmen, who were to walk at the
head Of the procession, arrived at the
same time. They wore immortals IN
their coats and carried wreaths Of yellow
flowers in their hands. On both sides Of
the hearse were the Imperial arms, sur
mounted by the letter IN" A great
crowd, which steadily increased, sur.
rounded the hearse. The funeral process.
sion started for the chapel at II o'clock,
and moved in the following order
A man bearing tri.color Oh an ash
stick, cut at the last moment before the
cortege uoVed; the deputation of work
men from Paris, with uncovered heads.
bearing their wreaths; the chaplain Of
the family, bearing aloft a golden crucifix;
the hearse, drawn by eight horses, driven
by q position; and the mourners, who
numbered eight hundred in all, and in
cluded the Prince Imperial, who went
uncovered. Prince Jerome Napoleon.
Prince Joachim, Prince Achille, N. Rou-
her, and many distinguished Imperial
lists, English noblemeo, Paris priests and
others.
The remains were deposited in a sacristy
which had been formed into a nortuary
chapel until the removal of the body to
France for final interment The process.
sion was very long, and the henrse was at
the chapel tefore the end of the cortege
had left the family mansion. The car.
riages were driven three abreast across
the roadway, and in thai order proceed
ed to the chapel. A, least 10000 people
gathered to witness the funeral ceremo-
nics.
The Empress Eugenie was too i'll to at.
tend the funeral. The coffin vas covered
with immortals and violets; there was no
funeral sermon at the chapel. The Bishop
Of Southwark sang requiem mass over
the remains he was assisted by Father
Goddard, spiritual adviser Of the late ex.
Emperor, and all the priests who were
chaplains at the Tuilleries during the
reign of Napoleon.

The Coming Troubles Of Europe


A dispassionate article in the London
Contemporary Review, entitled "The
Jcsuits in England" predicts troublous
times for Europe outside Of England.
This writer says:
Although there is rot much probabil-
ity of any revived persecution of the Ro.
man Catholic religious orders in this
country, it will not be amiss that we
should, at this present time, review the
relationship in which they stand towards
the State and towards society in general,
in reference to the great principles of
civil and religious liberty. The expul.
sion of the Jesuits from Germany through
the resolute action Of Prince Bismarck is
an act which cannot possibly be isolated
in its results. Setting aside all question
as to its immediate and indirect influences
upon the position of Catholicism in Ger
many ITSELF it has already helped to make
the consideration Of the social and poliii.
cal effects Of Jesuitism one of the hottest
Of "ouestons brulantes" of the hour
Once more We are threatened with re.
viral of the old controversies respecting
the character of the famous institutes Of
Loyola. while the power Of the Jesuits
within the Roman Church, so far from
being lessened By the attacks that are
Specially directed against them, is rn-
ques,ionsbly strengthened and deepened;
at the very crisis, too, when these pin
ciplcs have recently won the most signal
dogmatic victory which they ever achiev.
ed over the non Jesui,ical sections Of the
Church Of Rome. In almost every Eu.
ropean country, moreover, there are signs
of a renewal Of that passionate identitica-
tion of theological and political animosi-
ties which so terribly embittered the
hostiities of the 18th and l7th centuries
Everywhere men are taking sides accord
ing to their religious beliefs and religious
hatreds. Multitudes who care nothing
for any one special form of Christianity,
as the practical guide to their own per-
sonal conduct, are beginning TO consti-
tute themselves champions of this or that |
creed, solely because by its cid they cx.
pect to promote their national or political
aims.

as several notes had TO be compared, time
went on. Sleep at last overlook mine uncle,
and his nephew had almost dropped off.
when the first intiInation was given that
some one WAS snoring. 1t was not the ne
phew, for he started; it was 4 shock. Sleep
was murdered, no more would it visit the
eyelids of the devoted nephew. He is too
fond of music to sleep while there's any 60
ing on, and with solo like this sleep was
no. to be thought Of at all. Never did an
instrument of its size and limited keys emit
such variety Of sounds before; perhaps it
WAS owing to the Epizoot and the manipula-
tionS of the lady before mentioned; and not
withstanding the fact that one of the barrels
Of this instrument was slightly obstructed,
and some of the notes were out Of tune, yet
on the whole, or the two holes, it was q
splendid effort Once heard it could never
be forgotten, and one nights experience
would suffice for q life time. For mortal
hours the solo continued, and in F. s''1rp.
At four o'clock the nephew to his unr felt
like he was set to music in sixteen sharps
at FIVE chance to Minor, and at six to q
Flat, when naiely mine uncle turned
over and the music ceased. It was too late to
WOO the drowsy god then.
During the day the city had on holiday
look-numbers Of Patrons of Husbandry
promenaded the streets, as did also delegates
to the meeting Of the Grand Lodge, I. o. o.
F. Hundred: Of hungry people were on the
wait for Pollock's treat of turkies, hams,
etc., at the Wheeler.
At the State menageric, too, Mr.. Cook,
Judge elect of the Eighth Circuit, qualified
to his friends and admirers that was an at
traction. Judge Cook, judging from his ap-
pearance, might adorn some other walk in
life as well, if not better, than the one the
Assembly has seen fit AND proper to place
him on. lie is man Of Sreat-size.
The menagerie is sight worth seeing,
and all who visit the Capitol should by all
means look in on this State institution.
But we are making too much Of Que days
leave of absence, therefore we take cars after
a good sleep, aud are once more at home.

A Few Of an Editors Troubles.

No man but has his troubles, and no
business is there under the sun which is
not beset with more or less difficulties,
growing more particularly out of diversi.
ty of character. But all things consid-
cred, after long experience, not only in
dividually but collectively, We verify be-
l;eve that editors and publishers Of pa
pers are subject to more annoyances,
trials and petty insults than the rest OF
mankind all put together, and the coun.
try or provincial press more than the
city. 1t is truism, that it is impossible
to please everybody, yet in no other
business or profession is it more looked
for. The life and prosperity Of q news.
paper hinges on small things, the whole,
be it large in the aggregate or not is
made up Of Titles, and exceedingly hard
to get at too are many Of these. This is
q trial, but one only requiring patience,
and when in the course of natural events
some of these Titles are lost, go glimmer-
ing, because Of the depravity of man,
the pocket only suffers, but when in ga
thering the small matters some litilenesses
Of soul are thrown in, the thorn is then
fit. 'TiS the unkindest cut Of all. Like
the leaves of tree no two of which are
exactly alike, so too is it with the many
subscribers which the poor bedeYilled
editor OF publisher has to puzzle his
wits about, lest they rend his soul. Its
like sailing in sea of difficulties. Snar.
leyow, in Marryatt's DOG Fiend", lived
life of ease and comfort compared to
that of an editor. But we are preach
ing, and must cut our copy short with
q sample or two. Every reader knows
something about the red or blue K mark,
and the intelligent and the reasonable
know, that it is the most delicate, handy,
easy and cheap notification which ever
has been devised-outside Of city where
patent addressing machines can't be af.
forded-and yet it does not satisfy. \.
