for baby show at the county fair, Gov. Bagley
WAS called upon TO act as one of the judges.
The governor rushes into print with reasons for
not accepting. he premises that every parent
whose infant did not get premium would be
his political enemy for life, because every hu-
man being deserving of that name is so well
satisfied that bis or her particular infant is so
superior TO all others that Mr.. Halliday's an

convincing them to the contrary. Moreover,
says the governor, no man with any babies of
his own can be a fair judge of other peoples
babies. He must naturally take his own as a
standard and judge others by them.

His dwelling, a. Is known, is OF the most simple

transplanted thither by Garibaldi and culti-
waited by himself. Goats abound, and there are
a considerable number Of wild cats.

Mcknight, for simply iDterceding to save
Woods, was similarly treated, and both of them
locked up on charge of highway robbery
Mcknight and Woods are quite small in stature
and men Of good character. Mcknight is q
crippled ex-soldier. An Irish servant girl
named Mary Mcguire appealed to a Brooklyn
policeman named &. W. Burns for protection
from man who had insulted her on the street.
On the pretence OF escorting her home, Burns
took her to a sc cluded place, outraged and beat
her to lDsensibility. She will probably die
