Yesterday Counselor A. J. Hyatt, Of
White Plains, was summoned before
Justice Long to show why he should
not vacate q room over millinery

MI. Hyatt Ito the Court)-You are a

The Court am eh. We'll, now I'll

him into corner, and then showed
him into the street.
Mr.. Hyatt-Its all very nice for you

Der of small boys.
Mr.. Hyatt (as the Court was about
to seize him)-Go away from here.
Don't you hit me, I'm a lawyer, not a
fighter.
The Court thought you wanted to
fight.
Mr.. Hyatt-Well, if you want to
fight just hit me, that's all. Then I'll
lick you, sure.
The Court made a motion toward Mr..
Hyatts head. and Mr.. Hyatt darted
down Railroad avenue at an alarming

assault and battery. The Justice in
sists that the dignity Of his Court must
be maintained.

Mrs. Hotchkiss' Case.
m the Saturday Evening Post.

rum tuc SAbuuny 6Ncuius EOsts
We were not surprised when Mrs.
Hotchkiss demanded q divorce. Mrs.
Ho,ckkiss was q somnsmbulist, and
after getting to sleep at night sac would
rise aud grope her way down stairs to
the kitchen. Then she would do the
whole OF the weeks washing, and after
hanging the clothes upon the line come
back TO bed. The next night she would
do the ironing, and the next the sweep-
ing, &c. And always vhen.she came
do xn in the morning che would be as
tonished to find the work all finished,
and she always insisted that Hotcbkiss
had done it for her while she was
asleep; and Hotchkiss, the unprincipled
scoundrel that he was, would smile and
take the credit for 1t, just as much as
she chose to give him, although he used
to watch her get up in her sleep, and
he knew we'll enough how il was. And
when she would throw her arms around
his neck and kiss him, and tell him
how very kind it was OF him, that con-
scienceless rascal would cay, "0h, it's
nothing, Harriet; nothing. my dear |;
I do it because l love my darling
Harriet" Then Mrs. Hotchkiss
would nestle her head on his waistcoat
and cry over his shirt-front and he
would stand there with the air OF man
who was conscious OF having done .
great and noble act at the cost OF fear
full self-sacrefce. This kind OF thing
continued for several weeks, until one
night, while Mrs. Hotchkiss was wash
ing shirts in her sleep needle conceal
ed in one Of the garments ran into her
finger and awoke her. For q momeut
she was bewildered. Then the truth
flashed upon her. She went up stairs.
Hotchkiss was fast asleep and snoring
like q fog whistle. She shook him and
walked him. He thought she was in q
somuambulistic condition, 90 be ex,
claimed, "see here, old woman, lem'me
alone, and 60 down and finish up that
washing" Mrs. Hotchkiss did not
nestle her head upon his bosom then.
She nestled her hands among: Ibis hair
and yelled at him, and pulled him out
on the floor and hammered him with

SAYS the Boston Post :

The greed OF q Congressman will yet
become q standard for parallels asd
Synonyms. Already the great majority
OF those elected 10 the Forty-third
Congress have drawn their first three
months salsry at the increased rate. 1t
is an entire novelty in practice. since
they have not been sworn in, and can
not strictly be called actual members.
Were they all TO die between this and
December, they would have been taking
pay for services which they had not yet
rendered. The last Congress took care
Of this by passing law that allowed
them to draw their pay quarterly.
There never was such o Congress a.
that for looking for pay aud perquisites.
It took care to remunerate itself twice
ovtr, and after Increasing future pay for
members, gave them the right 70 draw
three-fourths OF it before they had
earned anything II the people wish TO
know what are the chances for the re-
peal Of this odious salary bill, let this
almost universal drawing out OF the
frst three months pay BY the members
OF the next Congress be the answer 10
their inquiry. Having already button-
ed their pockets over the money. they
are not the men TO vote to return Il to
the people through the Treasury. So
the resolution OF the Maine RepubIi-
cans on this point are but poor bun
oombe ct best. Neither Congress nor
Ihe Executive thinks Of relenting. The
people have q remedy for such 9 gross
outrage, and it is Q sure one; but It viii
,ever be reached BY IN appeal TO the |
honor OF those who are arYaiRned. |
Justice and judgment both cit at the
and there 10 the place 10

AN ACT OF JUSTICE.

The Board Of Education did q very
just aud sensible thing last pight In
abolishing ali distinction between the
salaries to be paid to male or female
teachers 10 the public schools. The
report OF the committee on salaries
provided for the payment OF not more
than $l,l00 per annum to the male
principal of Ward school and not
more than 5000 per annum to a female
principal. The injustice Of the dis
criminstion was apparent to a majority
OF the Board and the words male
and "iemele" were stricken from the
report wherever they occurred, and 10
this amended form the report was
adopted. The salary of teachers
is hereafter to be graded
according to the qualification OF the
applicant and the work to be done,
rather than according to sex. Ifa wo-
man applies for employment, having a
certificate of the same grade Of scholar
ship as that OF her male competitor and
willing to do the came work, her sex
shall be no barrier to her receiving the
salary attached TO the position.
Thisis as it should be. The teach
ers of our public schools are but in
differently paid. Their education
stands instead OF moneyed capital. 1t
has cost them in actual cash cay $lO,-
900 each, and this is by no
means an extravagant estimate
for those who are qualified
to teach the higher classes contem-
plated in our system OF public instruc"
ton. Now what merchant or business
man is there in this city who would be
content with an annual income OF less
than $1,000 from cash capital Of
$4,000, il, in addition to his original
investment, he gave his personal servl-
ces and attention to the management OF
the business2 And what possible rea-
son can there be for discriminating be.
tween the sexes as to the income to be
received from their investment oil
money!
Money is worth in this city rot less
than 6 per cent per annum, and it gen.
orally brings a much larger rate OF
interest. The borrower never in.
ouires whether the funds he is
using belong to a man or to
to a woman, and be never dreams Of
asking for a lower rate if the lender
happens to be Of the opposite sex. Our
manufacturing and insurance com len-
les, or other moneyed corporations,
never think of making any distinction
Of sex in the divide ends paid to their
stockholders, but all are placed upon a
plane Of equality and the stock owned
by q woman draws precisely the same
rate OF dividend as that held by a man.
Reducing the matter in this way to
business principles, why should not q
female teacher doing the same work
and having invested as much in her
education and with as good results, re
ceive the same wages as a man. There
can be but one answer to the question.
No sexual distinction should be made
in the salaries allowed for services in
the schools.
We are glad the Board OF Education
has recognized this truth and resolved
to be guided BY it in the future. Its
action in this respect is just and righ'
and worthy Of all commendation.
