 "Well, dye know what that same lame boy did?" she asked as she leaned over the railing and breathing hard.
 "Stole a kiss from you, per haps."
 "No, sir. This is just how it was, and it wasn't any other way; I was going home with basket of meat, and thls boy was on the walk, and when I came along he made a face-just sO-and holler- ed out:

EXTRAORDINARY PRACTICE.
Obtaining Judgment by Default in the Circuit
Court Of the District of Columbia.
WASHINGTON, D. G, July 20, 1916.

WASHINGTON, d. g , July 20, 1876.
To the Editor of the National Republican:
SIR: mean no disrespect to the circuit branch
of the honorable Supreme Court, nor have any
word or feeling in regard to the merits. dement's
or disposition of any cause of mine within its
Jurisdiction. simply wish, a matter of public
interest, to call attention to n few facts which
seem to me a most extraordinary rul Q of practice
on the part of the learned honorable Circuit Court
in giving what it calls Judgment by default"
the manner OF which is quite unlike the practice
in any of the other courts. 1t is understood, be-
lieve, by the rules of practice in the Supreme
Court that Just ground for giving Judgment by
default implies that the defense has due notice
of trial and fails to appear. 1t seems that our
Equity Court is in session at the same time dur
ing the sitting of the Circuit Court and attorneys
having considerable business arc obliged to meet
their engagements in both, which compels n tenn
porary absence from the one or the other; hence
the lawyer having only few causes can afford to
remain about either Of these courts and by his
opportunity take undue advantage of opposite
counsel by asking for Judgment by default"
Suppose the defendant knows that his cause, by
numGer, is upon the calendar, ana after waiting
ard watching several hours each day for 1t to be
called from Il long and sometimes interrupted list
of causes, is it Just to give one attorney such ad
vantage over opposite Counsel during his tempo
rary absence at q time when those taking such
advantage know they have no case except in the
absence of the defense, and when they know 1t is
both the intention and desire of opposite counsel
10 DC present! 10 say Inc ledSI IL Is nellneT
courteous, nagnanmOus or just. If 1t is the
pleasure Of the honorable Circuit Court to repri-
mand the bar in this way for its seeming neg ect,
is il done at sacrifice of the best interests of
counsel, client and the entire lftigating commu-
nifty? As client and counsel have lost several
days from business looking after cases in this
court. only to hear of the Court giving Judgment
by default" on the mere temporary absence of my
self or counsel. will not call this novel method
of legal pilfSring on the part of such attorneys,
irritating the Court with an impression of indit-
ference on the part Of absent counsel, and there
by getting judgment, but does 1t raise the
standard OF our judicial system, and is 1t court
of Justice? ]. 2.

How Niagara Almost Ran Dry.

On March %, ls4s, o remarkable phenomenon
occurred. The preceding winter had been in
tepsely cold, and the ice formed on Lake Erie was
unusually thick. In the warm days Of early
spring this mass of ice was loosened around the
shores of the lake and detached from them
During the forenoon Of the day named stif
easterly wind moved 1t up the lake. A little be-
fore sunset the wind chopped suddenly around
and blew a gale from the West. This brought
the vast field of ice back again with such tre-
mendous force that 1t filled in the neck Of the lake
and its outlet so as to form very effective
dam that caused a remarkable diminution
in the outflow of the water. or course,
it needed but little time for the falls to
drain of the water below this dam. The
consequence was that on the morning Of the fol-
lowing day the river was nearly half gone. The
American chanpel had dwindled to deep and
narrow creek. The British channel seemed to
have been smitten with quick consumption, and
to be fast passing away. Far up from the head
OF Goat Island and out into the Canadian rapids,
and from the foot of Goat Island out beyond the
Tower 30 the deep channel Of the Horseshoe Fal!
the water was gone. The rocks were bare, Dlack
and forbidding. The roar Of Niagara had sub.
sided to q moan. This extraordinary syncope Of
the waters lasted all the day, and night closed
over the strange scene. But during the night
the dam gave way, and the next morning the
river was restored in all its strength, beauty and
maiesty-Scribuer.

REPLY TO THE FIRST SPEAKER"
Why the Government Expenditures are SC
Large.

Large.
WASHINGTON, d. c., July II, 1876.
To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: During the progress of the Democratic
ratification meeting at the City Hall some time
since, the first speaker of the evening"" las in
troduced by the presiding oficer,) and who styled
himself an Sex onfed., )" charged the Republican
party with gross corruption and prOdigality,
which he attempted to prove by stating that
while the Democratic party ruled the country the
annual expenditures o. the General Government
amounted 10 sixty millions, but now, under Re-
publican rule, the expenditures amount to the
unprecedented sum of 500, COO, go. Please pub
lish, for the edifcation Of this first speaker
and for his hearers the following explanation of
this enormous expenditure. You can readily per-
ceive there is difference of 500 900, 900 in the
expenditures of the Government Now let us see
how this difference was produced
First: the amount annually Said by the Govern
inent for interest on the public debt caused by the
rebellion of the Democratic party against the
lawfully constituted authority of the United
States is SOS, F2i ,269, and the sum paid 10 loyal
citizens who were manned in the conflict against
this same Democratic party is So, 1872 800 making
total yearly expenditure of Sl2s, OF 100, which
amount was directly caused by the ''law-abiding
Deduct this sum and the $6O, OO0O o gold reduced
TO currency from the enormous sum of $780,
UO.OOJ, ana mere SILL remains an excess OF Sb4-
71Z.SJl- which is caused by the increased force
necessary to assess and collect the taxes and dis
burse the same in accordance with law. A large
amoup, =, =. ma a.. ou IN account of war claims
allowed, which is also directly charg CAME 70 the
Democratic party. 1t is also to be observed that
during the last three years of Democratic rule
there were collected sl55+s7,0Il, at an expense to
the Government of $685. 743, III, and that in 1875
there were collected SIS O2O, i'll at an expense of
Sill 5c9, So. showing concusively that the Demo-
cratic administration charged the people 81 80 for
collecting and paying out 81, while under Repub-
lcan rule it costs the people 90 cents for the same
service.
In the face of these facts does 1t not seem
strange that the Democratic party should ho-
the etrontery TO refer to the enormous er-,eneas
of the Government as a reason why - NV sbonid

TREASURER DODGE TO REMAIN
The Central Committee and the Commits
sloners

sloners
The committee appointed at the meeting of the
Republican Central Committee on Wednesday
evening waited upon the District Commissioners
yesterday morning, and through their chairman
presented the name of Mr. Leroy NJ. Suttle for
District treasurer as a gentleman of honesty,
fidelity and capacity, a staunch Republican and a
suitable man for the Office of treasurer. A paper
was presented expressive Of the sentiments Of the
Republican Central Committee.
The Commissioners stated in reply, in substance,
that this matter was ended SO far as they were
concerned that Mr.. Dodge would not be inter-
fered with SO long as he performs his duties as
treasurer with fidelity. There is no political
question involved in this matter, and it is childs
play 10 suppose that they would now interfere
to remove MIR. Dodge upon any such efforts of
convention or club which would seek to control
the Commissioners in their official duties. 1t
was not known 10 the Commissioners whether
Some say he is one thing and some another. 1t
makes no difference; he has given his bonds of
500, 600 and entered upon his duties, and he will
not be interfered with now. The delegation they
supposed had accomplished its purpose of making
little reputation for being conspicuous and vigil
liant party men, and they ought TO be CONTEXT.
Mr.. Cook made a brief reply, disc.almng any
such motive, but stating tat ne performed
duty which he had not craved, but which had
been assigned 10 him by the Central Committee.
The committee shortly afterwards retired
without having received any assurance that the
merits Of their candidate would be considered.

WhAn to Make InYastmants.

In most lines of business the oldest inhabitant

the present season. The over-prOductiOn Of the
manufacturers in past years, the depression OF
business, the stringency of the money market and
other causes have combined to produce thisresult.
glance at the present condition of trade and Of
the country will show any one that this terrible
depression cannot continue much longer. aug
surplus goods in nearly every department have
become about exhausted, and manufacture must
be resumed at prices which will compensate the
manufacturer. The settlement in November of
the political status Of the Government for the
next four years will contribute materially 10 give
confidence in commercial circles. Every thlng
points to revival of business at an early day anc
to a moderate advance of prices. The people oil
this country have too much energy and recupera-
