Right Against Might.

Judge Gilbert's decisive action in sew
ing machine case tried before him in
Brooklyn will be very generally COM
mended. The agent of sewing machine
com pany had sold a machine to person on
what is known as ''lease" The payments
under such sale are to be made by install
ments, but the machine is only 'leased" to
the purchaser, the payments are designated
"rent," and when default is made, if even
on the very last instalment the agent steps
in, reclaims the machine and retains all the
money that has been paid upon it. This
one-sided bargain is q cheat on its face. and
besides, a large addition is generally made
to the honest price of the machine wllcn thus
sold on time. In the Brooklyn case the
purchaser had paid eighty dollars, when,
failing in meeting an instalment, the ma
chine was seized and carried off by the
agent. The victimized purchaser brought
suit to recover the amount he had paid
Judge Gilbert Immediately directed the not
unwilling jury to give the plaintiff a verdict
for the full amount, with interest. The
counsel for the company pleaded for delay.
mot an instant" was Judge Gilbert's re-
ply. This is treating these sharp dealers to
n little of their own medicine. "Not an in
stant," is their reply when purchaser asks
for time. The Brooklyn decision will proba-
bly, encourage number of persons who have
lost both their money and machines by
such sharp practice to attempt to recover
either the one or the other.

Governor Robinson has approved the new
bill in relation to the office of Superinten-
dent of Public Works, passed by the Legis-
lature after his veto of the original bill.
This prepares the way for the new system of
canal management inaugurated by the con-
stitutional amendment, which will now go
into operation as soon as Super
intendent of Public Works is appointed
and confirmed. The change cannot be
made too soon. The last State admin
istration did much to effect reform in
the canal management, but it was felt
that no thorough eradication Of the evils
that had eaten into the old system could be
hoped for until the system itself had been
swept away. Governor Robinson, to whom
the State is mainly indebted for the constitu-
tional amendment, knows this probably bet
ter than any other man in the State. We,
therefore, discredit the Albany rumor that he
will not send in the name OF a Superintendent
of Public Works in place of that of General
Mcclellan, which was rejected by the Sen
ate. There can be no difficulty in finding a
member of the Governors political party
thoroughly qualified for the position,
and whose practical knowledge Of

The CHILDREN's CARSIvAL.-The Academy of
Music will be like % picture of fairyland next
Thursday evening, April s. when the children of
New York will have their first carnival. Such
festivals are well known in Germany, and the in
PRODUCTION of the custom in this country will
meet with hearty approval. The occasion will
he the more enjoyable because of the fact that
the ladies under whose auspices the ball will
take place intend to employ the profits for
the benefit of the poor of the city.

All Fools Day.

BY one of those strange condolences
which sometimes lift small things out of
their rightful sphere the calendar brings us
on the same day Easter Sunday and All
Fools Day. A sharper contrast than is
afforded by this conjunction would be out
Of the power of man to devise, but we doubt
whether the sportive small boy and the
adult practical joker will cease from hila-
rious mischief for this reason. The rewards
Of the religious life have no time within the
year been so prominently before the .devo-
tional eye as to-day; but the tempting
pocketbook, snatched suddenly from before
the would-be finder, and the toe-stun-
ming brickbat, in its deceptive news
paper covering, will cause also a revival
of the longing for the consultations of relig-
ion. The origin of the day is of the slight
est possible consequence to those who are
most active therein; their anxiety is not
exercised as to causes, but about results;
their faith, of whatever degree it may be, is
manifested by their works, and they trust
their zeal to atone for whatever indiscretion
they may be guilty of. Looking over the
entire field, with view to the possibilities
of the day, there is much to be thankful for.
Individuals may be tortured beyond the
verge of profanity, but on this side of
Europe there seems no likelihood OF con-
certed action in the interest of foolishness;
for Congress is not in session, most Of
thu State legislatures have adjourned,
new theories of the Hall disappearance
were forestalled by yesterdays dispatches,
and the coal road magnates seldom meet to-
gether on Sunday. Assured and strength
ened by these facts the respectable citizen
may be enabled to endure his own special
torrents, and if he has ever wondered why
the calendar year consists of exactly three
hundred and sixty-fve days he will at least
go.so far in the direction of an calculation
as to be certain Of his satisfaction that the
days of the year are no fewer and that
this particular gala day of the mischievous
cannot come oftener than it does.

Mark Twain's Military Experience.

Mr. Mark Twain in speech at the
dinner of the Ancient Artillery Com
pany, of Hartford, the other day,
describes with serious simplicity his
military experience in Missouri in the
early days of the war. His company
of eleven men bivouacked in a barn, and
waited for the invader. "We had a
good enough time there at that barn,
barring the rain and the rats, and the
mosquitoes and things. We lived on
both parties impartially, and both
parties hated us impartially. But one
day we heard that the invader was
approaching, so we had to pack up and
move. Inside of twenty-four hours the
invader was coming again; so we
moved again. And the next day he was
after us once more. We did't like it
much, but we moved rather than to
make trouble. This went on for week
or ten days, and we saw considerable
scenery. Then Ben Upper lost patience.
"He says, War is not what it's
cracked up to be. Pm going home if /
can't ever get chance to sit down a

fatisfaction all around, and, of course,
here come the enemy Fostering us again,

breakfast, and nobody wanted to turn
out at that hour. | detached one of
my aids and sent him to the brigadier,
and asked him to assign us to a district
where there wasn't bother going on. He
sent back an indignant message. He
said: Stay where you are at this time

you choose. AS for me, I've got enough

She called me Man of men,"
And then | praised her lips and curls,
And she praised mine again;
And with her sex's charming art
Shs taught me TO love-s so won my heart.
And thus she made me blissfui, so

And ATabella would be mine
And after that would not ask
In greater happiness to bask.

And he proposed for my adored,
And he was accepted, too ali me,

And let him catch perfect Tartar.
