The Circuit Judges.

Tue validity Of the election OF the
present Circuit Judges of this State
is shortly to be tested in tie Su-
preme Court. 1t will be remember
ed that there was considerable dis
cussion upon this point at the ses-
sion Of the Legislature last spring,
an effort was made to have new
election. on the ground that the ex-
press terms of the State constitution
had not been complied with in the
former elections. The question was
originally raised in the quo warran-
TO proceedings against Judge Reed,
which were instituted under the ad-
,lniilistration OF Mr.. Chamberlain, but
the Su:reme court did not decide
the point, and the proper mode Of
election remains unadjudicated by
the tribunal.
In Art. Q, Sec. 24, the Constitu-
ton declares as follows: "In all elec.
tione by the General Assembly, or
either House thereof, the members
shall vote viva wee, and their votes,
thns given, shall be entered upon
the journal of ,he House to which
they respectively belong" This
clause would plainly indicate that
there was only one mode prescribed
f,r elections by the General Assem-
bly,, and that the object of adopting
that method was to make record
of the entire transaction, 80 there
could be no.question as to the result
But the constitution contains anoth-
or clause which conflicts expressly
with this general provision, and ap-
plies solely to the election of Circuit
Judges. In Art. 4, Sec. 13, the fol-
lowing language is used: "The State
shall be divided into convenient cir
cults, and for each circuit a Judge
shall be elected by joint ballot of the
General Assembly, who shall hold
his Office for a term of four years."
The proceedings ofthe Constitutional
Convention, it may be proper to reN
mark, show that the term employed
in the original draft of this particu-
lar section was "joint vote," instead
of 'joint ballott," but there is moth
ing contained therein to prove that
the words were not altered upon ite
final passage, although it is equally
true that there is no evidence of such
alteration being proposed or sug-
gested. The practice of the Repub-
lican Legislature, from the tune o.
the adoption of the constitution dcwI
to the expiration of that dynasty
was to elect the Circuit Judges vivs
vOco, as in the case If all other cleo
tions by the General Assembly. i.-
The question Involved attracted
the atteption of the General Assem-
bly,, and in the election of Judge
Kershaw last June, the mode pres.
cribed in the 4th Article of the Con.
stitutiop was adopted, which is by
joint ballot. It was then determined
tosecare judicial decision upon
this point, and the following concur.
rent resolution was adopted: --..... .

The Equestrian Statue of Gen. Lee.

M. II. Mosmau of the Anes Com~
pany at Chicopee, has just finished O.
sturdy model about three feet high,
of the $4,000 equestrian statue of
General r. E. Lee, which is to be
erected at Richmond, Va, and will
be exhibited there by the artist the
first ten days in November. The
statre itself is of bronze, and the
pedestal and steps of granate colored
wood to represent stone, instead of
the usual wax or ,plastsr model. From
q series Of steps, whose grand size is
25 by 19 feet, rises q platform hold
ing the pedestal proper, an oblong
square with sernicircular projections
Oh the shorter sides.
The base rises in this form without
other ornaments than mouldings cut
in the granite to the bottom of the
die. The straight part of the dies
sides is nine feet square granite block
panelled for bronze reliefs. The
circular parts are f1uted column sec.
tions cut longitudinally. A band
around the column parts, between
base and cornice, is covered with
armor and insignia # the middle
ages. Above this die is cornico
with running Grecian ornament in
bronze, besides granite mouldings,
and the whole pedestal is secured by

and just beneath the statue is an
homer chaplet in on'inuous gar
land of laurel leaves. One OF the
panels of the die shows a lnausoleum
with medallion portrait on its face
of Lee, which q woman figure repre-
senting the country embraces in ex-
pressing grief at the loss of her son,
while 'Virginia" brings a wreath
of ilnmortalles in deference to his
virtues.

upon which the fate of a battle might

CUTTING OUT NERVE TO CURE
NEUEALa1A-For several years Judge
Bay, of St. Louis, has been great
sufferer from facial neuralgia, and
to avail himself Of any benefit that
might possibly result from change
of climate spent most of 1873 in
California and the last part of 1874
in Colorado without any material
benefit, and, on his return from Cols
orado, DR.. Hodgen cut out little
over one-half inch OF the fifth facial
nerver, and for seven or eight months
the Judge experienced entire relief
from the disease, but at the expira~
tion of that time it gradually y returned
upon him with increased severity,
until life was almost unbearable.-
DR.. uodgen became satisfied that
the separate parts Of the nerve had
united, and he determined to per~
form a second operation, and, on the
7th instant, cut out two inches of the
nerve and removed several collateral
branches. The operation lasted ff-
teen minutes, was exceedingly pain
fuI, and though the Judge declined
to take chloroform or any opiate he
stood the knife without finching.--
The Judge has had no return oftho
neuralgia pains, and all the indica-
t;ons are that the operations Will
prove eminently successful.

"Never mind, Harry" said the
handsome young girl; "Ellen will
soon be married. l have pretty good
reason for knowing"
"Ah, but then your fat'er says he
wants time to pick up a marriage
portion for you, and that will take
three or four years, perhaps"
"That is good while, is it not
Harrys" said Maude, just blushing a
little, for fear that it sounded forward
and bold.
"It's ages" said the syoung fell
low. "Think of waiting three years
why we shall be old folks by that
time!"
mot quite 80 bad as that" said
Maude.
"I'm sure my hair will be gray by
that time!"
"Nonsense, Harry! Now you are
joking"
| IL was never more IN earnest in
my llfe," said he, as he stole kiss
from her pretty lips, and ran away,
50 as not to hear her chide him for
his boldness.
"Maude, said her father, coming
into the house from the barn, 81 wish
you would ride the scrrel mare into
Easton, and get this hundred dollar
bill changed at the bank. The work
men have got done with tho roofing
of the barn and 1 want to pay them

Every we'll, father. Let John put
the side-saddle on and I will be
ready in five minutes"
The sorrel marc was brought ND
TO the door, and Mande was soon on
her way at easy hand gallop tot
wal d Easton. Sine hal an excellent
seat, and was a good horsewoman.-
AS she know this well, she would not
have objected to hav Harry see her
just now; but he had gone few mo.
ments before i'll an opposite direc-
ton.
When Maude got into Easton she
rode directly to the bank, but was
unfortunate enough to find that it

moments thought she resolved to try
and get the note changed at the groo
GERS, or some of the other stores, and
went Immediately to do 80. Fate
seemed against her, for no one had
small change enough to accommo
date Miss Henderson.
At one of the stores where she
stopped, a very gentlemanly looking
person took ont his pocketbook and
said he thought he could change it
for her, and she handed him the bill,
but he returned it, saying, after all,
he had not 80 much small money
He seemed to regret this, however,
and even followed Mau le to the door
and assisted her to remonnt her horse
She was forced to give up her ert
rand, as she did not much like to
run about among strangers asking
them to change her bill, especially
as no Que seemed able to do 80. She,
therefore, turned her horses ht ad
once more toward home. Scarcely
had he passed the outskirts of tue
town when size was overtaken by the
stranger who had spoken with her in
the last store, and who at first
thought he could change hor BILL

piece of road, quite removed from
any dwelling bouee. Still, as the
stranger appeared so gentlomanly,
and had addressed her so politely,
she had not the least suspicion of any
evil intention on his part.
Presently, he said suddenly, IL
will thank you for that bill"
"What9' said she, half smiling.
"Please to give Inc that BILL"
"What do you mean9" asked
Maude.
"Just what 1 say" he replied,
suddenly.
81 shall do no such thing" she
answered firmly.
81 am sorry to draw pistol upon
a lady, he continued, suiting the &C.
tion to the word, but l must have
that hundred dollar bill'at once"
"Do you mean to rob me2"
81 must have the money"
1t was with difficulty she could be-
lieve the man was in earnest; but
when he now cooked his pistol
and held it toward her with one
hand, while he extended tho other
for the bill, she was forced to yield
to the necessity of the situation. She
was brave hearted girl, and even
now she did not turn pale nor trem-
BILE in the least; but saw she could
not help herself, and 80 made the
best of it.
Just as soon as che held out the
bill to him q sudden puff OF wind
blew it into the road, and carried it
several yards from them. The stran.
ger alighted to get it, and, quick ae
thought, Maude struck her horse 6
smart blow, in order to get out of the
robbers power. The sorrel mare
was spirited little creature, and
sprang into a asmart gallop at once;
while the strangers horse, which had
been standing beside Ler also started
off at tull speed in her company.
BangI went the robbers pistol af-
ter them, having only the effect to
increase the speed ofthe flying horses,
both Of whom were now on the dead
run. Maude did not care how fast
she rode, the sorIel was as easy as q
cradle at that speed, and in ten min.
utes she dashed into her fathers yard,
followed by the riderless horse.
Her story was soon told, and her
father was with difficulty prevented
from starting after the robber with
his pistol and rifle, but he knew that
the scoundrel would naturally take
at once to the woods, where lie could
not follow him.
"We've got his horse, at any rate,
said the farmer; 'and he is worth
moro than hundred dollars"
"Hello, master!' said the man John
who had been taking the saddle bags
from the strange horse.
"What is it, John?'
"rhese bags is full Of something"
81 should think so," said the farm
er, as he unstraped the leather bags.
They were found to contain some
counterfeit plates, a quantity ofcoun'
terfeat money, in various bills, and
also a little over fifteen hundred dol
lars in good money.
"uuzzal' cried the farmer.
"Why, your trip to Easton has

THE MARRIAGE PORTION.

| "S eS.3 " roy JSaI5 SlHCS,
an honest farmer named Henderson,
who had two very pretty daughters,
Ellen. and Maude. The first was about
twenty-three years OF age, while the
latter was nineteen. The farmer was
a thrifty, we'll to-do man, though by
no means rich; but the family lived
in excellent style, and the daughters
had received good educations.
Bothof these girls were pretty, but
Maude was perhaps the handsomer.
There was no lack of attentive young
gentlemen at the farm, though the
neighborhood was not very thickly
settled. But"beauty draws US with
a single hair" and the young ladies
were the center Of gay little circle
of friends, mostly young gentlemen
Or farmers sons in the immediate
neighborhood, and some even from
Easton.
By-and>by it came about that an
earnest, handsome and sturdy young
farmer tell desperately in love with
Maude, and proposed to her. On
her part, she loved Harry Masters
above all the young fellows she knew,
and told him frankly that he might
speak to her father. In the mean-
time she conGded the matter to her
mother, kind hearted, sympathetic
parent; who saw no objection to the
choice of her daughter, but all was
left to tho father to decide.
Farmer Henderson was very
straight 'rward and open m ,uthed
man. That is, he said cxac,ly what
he meant, no more or less, and that
he uttered freely. When larry
Masters called him on one side and
told his especial errand, as to Mande
the father said: "..
"Well, Mr.. Masters, Maude is
young. 1 wanted Ellen 10 be mar
ried first; she's the oldest, and | have
got a marriage portion Of twelve
hundred dollars to give her; but |
haven't laid by anything yet for
Maude."
"I have got pretty we'll before
hand, Mr.. Henderson, for a man but
twenty tour years old, and we shall
be able to do very well, 1 have no
doubt"
"You mean you'll take Mande
without any marriage portion?" said
the father.
eyes, sir, very gladly"
"Well, it's pleasant to hear you
say 80, because it shows your honest
affection, Mr.. Masters; but I am too
proud, though simple farmer, to let
Maudo marry till I can give her 6
thousand or two toward housekeep.
ing"
ut is not worth waiting for, cir
as long as we don't really need it
and both are content"
"Then, again , I'd rather Maude
wouldn't marry until her sister il
married, because she's 80 much older
do you see, it wonld actually make
her an old maid. 1t isn't fair Mr.
Masters"
"Ellen is very popular with tho
gentlemen, and will soon be be mar
ried," said the other.
''That's just what have said to
myself, and then l shall begin to pick
mp marriage portion for Maude.'
81 trust that is the only objection,
Mr.. Henderson," said Harry Mas
ters.
"Why. yes; yon are a promising
and respectable young man, and
come Of a good family" said the far,
mer; "but l can'C let Maude go un-
til l have got together respectable
marriage portion to give with her
hand" -@....%r
"Perhaps you will think more ia
vorably about it," said the lover. "I'II
speak with You again" a' -
