Card from Judge Liudley.

To my Political and Personal
Fiends:-The tendency of the po-
litical forces to concentration upon
the candidates of the organized par.
ties, makes my election Inn possible,
and I take this opportunity of adj
vislng you of my withdrawal go
that you may not lose vote on my
account.
My leading object in announcing
myself as q candidate was to invite
more particular and favorable
consideration of the platform upon
which my candidacy was prsdi
Gated. These ends have, in a great
measure, been attained. My furth-
er candidacy would possibly assist
in defeating those who would carry
out those views, as 1 am
convinced that three candidates
can be selected from the regular
tickets, without reference to party
politics, who are in substantial
sympathy with the industrial
classes and with the reforms sug-
gested in my platform.

Seven to One.
New York Times. |


By far the greater number of in.
fants are born between / and 2
o'clock A. NJ. 1t Is calculated that
q mans chances of being born be-
tween ! and 2 o'clock, rather than
at an earlier or later hour, are at
least seven to one. The truly sci
entitic mind can not contemplate
this state of things without an in
tense desire to know the reason of
it. Socrates might have cast some
light upon the subject, had 1t not
been for an untimely interruption.
In the XVIIth book of the Memo
rabilia he is represented as having
said to Alcibiades: "Now, l will
ask you o! Alcibiades, why were
you born at 1:45 A. NJ, as arn told
that you were?" Without waiting
for a reply for the sage always an
swered his own questions, in order
to make sure that the answers and
questions would fit nicely together
Socrates proceeded to say: "rhe
Father of the Gods has willed that
all men should come into the world
at night, so that Apollo, being alb
senp-But just at this moment
Xantippe sneeringly remarked,
from the top of the stairs, "What
are you giving us? What, by Zeus,
do you know about infants?" and
other language to that effect,
which put an end to the discussion.
1t is evident, however, that the
philosopher had his theory c0n.
cerning the matter, and, If he had
been permitted to unfold it, might
have solved the problem.

A rather, peculiar case was dis
posed of in the Police Court yes
terday. On Friday afternoon a
father appeared in Judge Peel's
Court and entered complaint
charging young man with hav-
ing seduced his daughter. The
case was sct for hearing at eleven
o'clock yesterday morning. Before
that hour arrived the accused
young man, accompanied by the
alleged injured young woman, pre-
sented themselves before the Judge
and both offered to make affidavit
that the charge was false in every
particular; that their intercourse
has always been chaste, and that
1t Is their intention to get married
| as soon as certain arrangements
are completed. The young lady
also stated that the parent who is
now so solicitous for her honor has
made her life at home so unbeara.
BILE that she has been obliged to
earn her own livelihood. The
young couple appeared 50 earnest
and truthful in their story that the
Judge declined to examine into
the matter further, and the pru-
dent pair are at liberty to make
their preparations and enter into a
life partnership just az soon as cir
cumstances will permit.
We have received, from the
Messrs. Hasselman & Parker, pho
tographers, Downey Block, a group
picture of the leading participants
in the late Jubilee. The concep-
tlon Is an admirable one, and the
execution of the several Counter
felt presentments' is worthy of all
praise. Sarony himself could not
do the subject more minute or
pains-taking justice; and, as me-
mento of the Jubilee, it is we'll
worthy of preservation. We pre-
sumo that the enterprising artists
will be favored with extensive Or
ders for this capital study of a most
interesting event.
Judge Sepulveja will resume his
seat on the bench of the District
Court on Monday. Judge Faw-
cett, who has occupied the bench for
two weeks past, will sit again on
the Oath Instant, to complete the
trial of the case of Downey VS..
Hellman, ct al and to hear argu.
ment on the order to show cause
why Receiver should not be ap-
pointed in the case of Baker VS. the
Star Oil Company.

Prices at Paris Hotels.
