great Wit and the greatest judge since

know from his early experience at the
bar, in spite Of the outward Difference
paid to him, no one is SD keenly criti-
cised as judge. His official life is
passed before professional public, most
of whom have nothing much else to do
except to criticise, and it is privilege Of
which they avail themselves to the ut
most. They pick holes in his law, make
hay Of his statement of facts, and very
often, especially the younger ones, end
by pronouncing the particular judgment
under discussion to be based on an en-
tire misconception of the law and the
evidence. The master of Trinity, Cam
bridge, lately remarked at q Fellows
meeting, at which some over-efficient
opinions were advanced, "Gentlemen, we
are none of US infallible, not even the
youngest of u.s." and it is a sarcasm
which many members of the junior band
would do we'll to lay to heart. But when
the wished-for brief does arrive, the
keenest critic appears wonderfully limp
as to his legs, moist as to his hands, and
qusvery as to his voice when he rises to
address the same judge whose demeanor,
words, and actions have been the subject
of bis contemptuous approval or disap-
proval for the last few yeaTs.-London

PITTING IN SMALL Pox.-Mr. Gregory,
of Merchants College, Blackpool, Eng
land, believes that "pitting," the sad and
permanent results of smallpox, ought
rarely to be seen in any civilized COM
munity. He starts with these facts, that
poor people are pitted least, rich people
are pitted most, and no class Of people
are pitted under their dress. Poor peo-
pie have less light in their homes, the
rich plenty of light, and under the dress
there is less light than in either case.
The explanation is scientific one. The
sunlight consists of three primary colors.
The red, the blue and the yellow rays
have distinct aud characteristic proper
ties. The yellow gives US light and red
gives US heat, and the blue actinism. 1t
is the actinic influence of the blue rays
which, in Mr.. Gregorys theory, causes
"pitting." No seed will terminate and
the young plants will soon perish If the
chemically active rsys-that is, the actin
ic rays-are filtered from the sunlight.
4 yellow blind drawn over window will
absorb all the sctinic rays- The puss Of
variolar pustules sbsorba, by its yellow
medium. the acsinic rays. which results
in corrosion Of the tender flesh aa the
base, and thus leaves the dreaded perna-
nens -pisiing."

surest Tranquilizer Of the Nerves.

The surest tranquilizer Of the nerves is q
medicine which remedies their supersensi.
tiveness by invigorating them. Over.tension
OF the nerves always weakens them. Wha'
they need, then, is Q tonic, not Q sedative
The latter is only useful when there is in.
tense mental excitement and an immediate
necessity exists for producing quietude Of
the brain. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters re.
stores tranquility OF the nerves by endowing
them with the vigor requisite TO bear, with.
out being Jared or disturbed unhealthfully,
the ordinary impressions produced through
the media Of sight, hearing and reelection.
Nay, IL does more than this,-it enables them
to sustain . degree Of tension from mental
application which they would be totally un-
able TO endure without its assistance Such

Like q Lawyer.

Into the Office of New York Tombs
lawyer there walked, the other DAY, q
ragged-looking man, who asked if the
lawyer could collect claim of SIS for
wages. Certainly" said the attorney
'if the defendant is responsible and your
claim is valid" The particulars being
given, the lawyer wrote a letter to his
clients employer asking if he intended
to resist payment. The letter was re.
sponded to by the defendant in person, q
tierce-looking Frenchman, slapping bis
hand with bang on the lawyers table and
swore that he wouldn't pay the claim if
he was hung for it. ut isn't the money"
he exclaimed, tiercely, ''that l care about
l would willingly pay five times the sum
to lawyer and fight him." and the irss-
chile Frenchman glared at his late EN-.
ployee. swell, he won't have much of
the SIS left after he pays me my fee, re-
marked the lawyer; ~ shall charge him
$10." "Whatl Mol Will you, reallyi"
gleefully asked the defendant. "Then,
BY George, here's the money-here It is,''
and he couated Out the SIS with chuck.
ling satisfaction. "If you would only
charge him the whole sum-" he added,
giving another fierce look at the plaintiff,
II would double the amount and give it
to you." The remaining S. was then
paid the man, and the overjoyed French
man insisted on the lawyer going out
with him and partaking of champagne
dinner.

AT a recent meeting of the English
Institute of Naval Architects a paper was
read suggesting that Jet Of crude Pc
troleum might DO thrown upon the deck
of an ironclad with excellent results. The
crew would be sv scorched and smothered
by the smoke as to be forced to retire
from working the guns, when launch
with spar or other topedo could APP
proach and deliver the fatal blow. 1t
was calculated that such jet could be
thrown 300 feet with accuracy, appar-
emily much after the fashion in which
water is directed from a hose on con-
fagration, only with precisely tho con-
trary intent. Already the necessary APP
paratus has been designed, and it is be-
lieved that single gallon of petroleum
would render hundred square feet of
surface uninhabitable by man for some
little time 1t is alleged that Russian
commission which Investigated the sub
ject decided just before the opening Of
the campaign that liquid fire could be
used against ships with success.

In Mennoriam.

MRS. MARGARET LoNEs HELMS was
born in Knox county, Tennessee, in
1880, and died at her home in Morris
town, Wednesday morning, January I'd,
1878. She was the youngest daughter of
Mr. John Lones, deceased, of Knox, and
granddaughter of John Hillsman, Esq -,
and Henry Lones. Sr., two of the first
citizens of the county in their day,
by whom she was raised, after the
death of her mother, who died when she
was but child.
Mrs. HELMS made the s'good confess
sion" of faith in her Savior, the Lord
Jesus, when quite young, and joined
the Methodist Episcopal Church, in
which she continued a consistent and
worthy member up to the time of her
decease.
In 1847 the subject of this notice was
married to Mr.. John E. Helms, with
whom for thirty years she lived in hap
py welded union; loving and beloved,
faithful and true; patient, hopeful, and
cheerful, and in every respect ''an help
meet for him"
Mrs. HELMS leaves a family of eight
children-four sons and four daughters
to mourn with their father, this, their
unutterably sad bereavement. But the
example she has left them, and the dying
assurances she was able to give them of
hope in "a better resurrection" gives a
ray of light to illuminate the darkness
of their sorrow, and promise to each
and all that they can meet her in bet
ter world to part no more forever. 0
that each of them may resolve upon this,
and SO fulfill the will of God who affiicts
only in mercy now and not in wrath
"Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth,
and sceurgeIh every son whom He re
ceiveth."
AS wife and a mother, as sister, as
q neighbor-in fact in all the relations
in which she stood to society, she was q
worthy example to others, and her life
! in her sphere was useful and blessed
| In the death of such an one the com
munity is the loser, and may fifty mingle
their heartfelt regrets with the sighs
and tears of her immediate family and
friends. ". T. H.

Homicide.


The new year waa ushered in, near
MorristoWna bY.as homicide committed
by Nancy Gritty on her stepfather,
James Fry. He was q cooper, and SON
of Captain or Colonel Fry, who was
somewhat celebrated IN East Tennessee
! during the war.
Some years ago James Fry married a
widow by the name of Gritty, who was.
the mother of two. children daughter
and son. They had not been married
long before Fry experienced the fact
THAT his bed was not made of down or
fragrant from the sweet of roses. In
other words his wife was a woman of
violent temper, and he left her for a
season and went to Indiana, but return
ed and lived with his wife again. They
quarreled frequently, and her daughter
took the mothers side. On Tuesday,
there was no person in the house, at the
time the homicide was committed, abont
four O'Clock, save Fry and his wife,
Nancy, and his four little children-the
two youngest twins, not yet month
old. The report of pistol was heard
by Mr.. John Clark, who was called in,
and found Mr.. Fry lying upon the floor,
shot through the body from one side to
the other. Mrs. Fry said that he shot
himself, but Mr.. Fry averred that Nancy
shot him. He said this under the sup
position that he was MORALLY wounded.
Shortly after, Jas. Palmer, a near neigh
Dor, came in and Mr.. Fry repeated his
accusation against Nancy. 1t is sup
posed that Mr.. Fry was correcting his
eldest child, which enraged Mrs. Fry
and Nancy, and the latter seized load
