THE FEDERAL JUDICIARY.
A Proposed Bill of Senator David BavIs to KS
tablish Appellate Courts.

/
|
Senator David Davis is actively
engaged in preparing bill to be pre-
sented at the next session of con-
gross, looking to change in the
present federal judicial system.
Yesterday he was closeted with
Judge Drummond all day, discussing
the proposed bill, and was unwilling
to converse upon the subject until
the two had finished the work laid
out before them. However, the
Judge was captured IN one of his re-
Taxed moods, and did what he has
always been averse 10 doing-engag
ed in a newspaper interview. He
| was asked if he meant to reorganize
or increase the supreme bench, to
which the judge replied that he did
not, and added
81 did h0t intend to say anything
about it until tie bill was perfected,
but will tell yog. | have been at
work on it all day with Judge Drum
mond, and we have only drafted the
main features of it yet. In some
respects it is similar to a bill intro
duced by Mr.. McCrary, of Iowa, at
the last session, and known as the
McCrary bill. 1t passed the house,
but was never acted OF IN the senate.
That bill provided for the formation
of an intermediate appellate court in
each United States circuit. The
court would be composed OF g circuit
Judge and the district judge Of each
circuit. Tho fall bench would be
composed OF five judges, but three
would be quorum. This appellate
court would have jurisdiction of all
cases of fact appealed from the cir
cult and district courts of each cir
cult, provided the sum in suit was
under $4,000. 1t wonId also have
jurisdiction of criminal cases. At
present there is no appeal from
decision of the circuit court in GRIM
inal eases. It must stand as final.
The bar Of all the circuits and the
judges have always felt that this
was severe responsibility, and it is
their almost unanimous opinion that
court of appeals should be given
power to review findings in criminal
cases. This appellate court would
not have jurisdiction over any case
in which the amount involved ex-
ceeded $40, 600, or in which any con-
stitutlonal question, treaty, or act of
congress was point at issua. This,
in hrief, was the McCrary bill. Its
object is good-namely, to lessen the
pressure of business in the supreme
court of the United States, but there
are grave objections to it, and will
state them to you. In tho first
place let me say-and | wish that
fact could be duly impressed upon
congress--the supreme court is ter
ribly overloaded with business, and
the pressure is constantly increasing.
"How far are they behind now p
"About two and half years, and
there IS little hope. unless something
is done to relieve the court, that the
arrearage can ever be brought up.
The business of the court grows
with tho increasing business of the
country, and | Gao easily see that
when the south regains her prosper>
ity it will add largely to the work to

ThelKind of Religion Wanted
From the Green Meuatain Freeman.

From the Green Mountain Freeman
We want religion that softens the
step and tunes the voice to melody
and fills the eye with Sunshine and
checks the impatient exclamation AID
harsh rebuke-a religion that is polite
deferential to superiors, courteous to
interiors and considerate to friends
religion that goes into the family
ana keeps the husband from being
cross when dinner is late, and keeps
the wife from fretting when the has
band tracks the newly washed floor
with his muddy boots, and makes the
husband mindful of the scraper and
door.mat; keeps the mother patient
when the baby is cross and amuses
the children, as we'll as instructs, them;
cares for the servants besides paying
them promptly, projects the honey
moon into the harvest moon, and
makes the happy home like the East
ern fig tree, bearing in is bosom at
once the beauty OF the tender bios
SONS and the glory Of the ripened
fruit. We want a religion that shall
interpose between the ruts and the
gullles and rocks of the highway of
lie and the sensitive souls that are
travelling over them.

Productions Of States.

Iowa now takes rank as the great
est wheat producing State, Mime
sofa comes next in order, thei Illinois.
Wisconsin takes the fourth place.
Ohio raises the most Winter wheat
and wool, Illinois grows the most
corn and oats and produces the
largest Number of fat cattle and hogs.
Pennsylvania grows the most rye,
amounting to nearly one-fifth the to
tai production of that cereal in the
States. California produces the great
est barley crop, and also the most silk
cocoons and wine. New York gives
us the greatest amount of hay, hops,
potatoes, peas and beans. The larg-
est Sweet potatoes are grown IN
North Carolina. South Carolina is
the great rice-producing State; Geor-
gia comes next, and then Louisiana;
these three States yielding nearly the
whole rice crop of the country Lou
isiana also produces nearly all the
cane sugar and molasses. Vermont,
the most of the maple sugar, or one.
third of the whole product, New York
the next Indiana gives the most
sorghum, one-eighth, and Ohio, near
ly as much. Kentucky produces
over 100000 900 pounds of tobacco,
or considerably over one.third of the
whole crop; also one. half of all the
hemp produced IN the United States.
Thus while we cannot furnish an
entirely correct idea of the crops OF
our own country, it viii be seen from
the foregoing statement which of our
States produces more largely of the
important crops of the nation. 1t is
10 be hoped that before the next cen.

Thus great injustice to the growing
population of the West. in represen-
cation in our National Assembly, will
be done away with. 1t should also
provide for taking statistics OF the in
dustries of the country twice as often

vast increase in the population of the
West. but also at her immense pro-
iuctlon of all that goes TO make up
the natural prosperity of the nation.

rHrNGs WORTH REMEMBERING

THINGS WORTH REMEMBERING -
Dccaying vegetable matter about the
houses, around the walls ard in the
cellar are prolific causes of disease in
the farmhouse.
I'll treatment OF cows, getting them
excited and then feeding the milk to
children, is practice liable to be at
tended with fatal results.
Bad ventilation, attended with i'm
pure air, causes catarrhal and skin
diseases of our animals, especially
when obliged to breathe the Impure
ties of decaying manure. Better ven.
tilation of sleeping rooms is urged
and more outdoor exercise for the

A WOMAN'S DREAMS.

A winters night. The fierce winds blow
And shake the window pane
The fitiul shadows come and go,
With truant drops of rain.
A dreamer sits beside the CRATE,
Ga which the bright Goals glow,
And muses., till the hour is late,
of Childhood, long ago.
In dreams she ro1ms o'er hillsdes green,
Beyond the oceans deep
And many years tn at come between
Seem stones in lifes rough steep.
Again che holds each little flower
Plucked by the purlng stream
Each valley green and mountain tower
Is painted IN her dream.
Like far off strains, mothers voice
Falls sweetly Oh the ear;
Again those tones bid her rejoice
And stay the falling tear.
The sire, whose locks times shifting sea
Had touched with silver foam,
Once more caressed her on his knee
Within the walls of home.
II long, long golden summer hours
Her brother by her side,
She sat again among the flowers,
And watched the distant tide.
Again she heard his youthful voice
Ring clear az vesper chime;
The white he reads her poems choice
From books of ancient time.
All, yes; those tender mem'ries old,
Now thrill the woman's heart,
Tho years have hung their misty fold
O'er eyes where tear drops start
That brother went IN fare the foe
Upon the battle field,
All, savage sword that dealt the blow,
When none was near TO shield
But darkest shadows flee away
And leave the shining sun,
Her trembling lips have learned to say,
:" Thy will, not mine, be done.o
The softly-talling flakes Of snow
Against the window pane
Shine in the firelight'5 rudy glow,
Like crystal drops of rain.
She turns and lists as if TO hear
One voice amid throng,
That thrills her soul with notes as clear
As echoes of song.
A tender glance-a loving smile,
Fits o'er her dreamy face,
That hide the lines of care awhile,
And give her charm and grace.
Thus, while the dreamer muses. DER
The firelight's crimson glow
Her dearest treasure comes once more
Back from the long ago.
The JOY which blest the holy hour,
When she became his wife
Rests like the perfume of flower
On years of after life.

a PRoGLA1lAaFoN ON.

noon by the President of the United
States of America
a PRoGLAliAgaoN.
The completed circle of snmper and win
ter, seeG-time and harvest, has brought US TO
the accustomed season at which reIigiei,s peo-
pie celebrate with praise and Thanksgiving
The enduring mercy of Almighty God. This
devout and public confession OF the instant
dependence of man upon the Divine Father
for all the good gifts of life and health and
peace and happiness, so early in our history
made the habit of our people, finds in the sur
vey OF the past year, grounds for its Joyful
and grateful manifestation in all the blessings
which depend upon benignant seasons. This
lras indeed been memorable year. Over the
wide territory OF our country, with all its di.
versity of soil and climate and products, the
earth has yielded a bountiiui return for the
labor of the husbandman. The health Of the
people has been blighted by no prevalent and
widespread disease. No great disasters of
ship wreck upon our costs or to our commerce
on the seas have brought loss and hardships
to merchants or mariners and cIouded the
happiness OF the community with sympathetic
sorrows. In all that concerns our strength
ard peace and greatness as a nation in all
that affects the character and disposition of
our people and tests our capacity TO enjoy
aud uphold the equal and free condition Of
society now permanent and universal through
out tie land-the experience of the last year
is ,coIsp1eiously marked by the protecting
providence 81 God and is full Of promise and
hope for coming generations
Under a sense OF these infinite obligations
to the Great Ruler of the times, and seasons
aud events, let us humbly ascribe it to our
own faults and frailties, if in any degree that
perfect concord and happiness, peace and JUS
tiCe whiea such great mercies should diffuse
through the hearts and lives of our people, do
not altogether and always and everywhere
prevail. Let us, with one spirit and one
voice, lift up praise and thanksgiving to God
and his manifest goodness TO oRE lands, His
manifest care for our nation.
Now, therefore, /, Rutherford b. Hayes,
President of the United States, do appoint
Thursday, the 29th day of November next, as
dav Of Nstienal thanksgiving and PRAYER,
and [ earnestly recoHmend that, withdraw
ing themselves from secular cares and labors,
the people of the United States do meet TO-
gether, on that day, in their respective places
of worship there 10 give thanks AID praise TO
the Hmighty God for His mercies, and to
devoatly beseech their continuance
In witness whereof have hereunto set my

States to be affixed. Done at the
