The practice of putting the State
Judges as they proceed from county to
county is an execrable one even in
cases where the puffery is not paid by
some briefless limb of the law, desirous
Of counting favor with the Judge.
Puffery is rarely deserved A really
good, upright and impartial Judge is
rarely popular He carries a two
edged sword, which must often cut
among friends as well as among foes
if he justly handle it. The attributes
of truly judicial mind are directly
averse to the arts which win popular
applause. And when a Judge be-
comes notorious for seeking public
favor, be sure he is looking to promo
ton or reelection. We now allude to
no individual, or instance: but condemn
the practice on general, and we t.ink.

Our FISHERIES. Mr. W. F. Page,
who had charge OF our fish hatchery,
and his assistant, Mr. 5. G.. Worth, ar
rived in this cit, yesterday. They took
charge of the hatchery on the 26th Of
September and received. through our
Commissioner, 25o, 900 California sal
mon eggs, and although laboring un-
der many disadvantages, they Matched
out and have distributed in our various
rivers 233, 900, which is very crafty
ing success. especially since one Of the
crates of $4,000 eggs was received in
bad order. The young fish were pu
out in good condition, and this expert
ment with this very valuable fish will
be watched with great interest by our
people. We are gratified TO see such
interest manifested by our Board in
the important matter Of restocking
our streams with such cheap and
healthful food for our people.

FIRST OF JANUARY.-A correspon-
dent wishes to know why the year be-
gins on January 1st rather than any
Of the other 365 days. 1t is entirely a
matter of custom. This date was fixed
by statute of the English Parliament in
1752-prior to which the year began
on the 25 Of March. Still earlier the
year began on Christmas day. The
present date was adopted by the cath
olic church in 1882, by direction of Pope
Gregory, and the Gregoridn calender
is now used in all christian countries,
except in Russia where the Julian near
is reckon-making a difference Of
about IL days from our time.

had just received from Matt Atkinson

span of the r. & d. r. R. bridge over

Weldon stood the pressure very stead

broken from its moorings, swept
against the middle of the structure,
causing it to swer>e some IS inches

Poor RETURN FOR BENEFITS The
Philadelphia Inquirer, enraged at the
colored men of that city for voting
conservative ticket, had long edi-
torial denouncing the Negro as unre-
liable, ungrateful and worthless.
Very soon after this appeared, Casins
NJ. Clay, the notorious abolitionist,
who had an hundred times periled his
life for the negro, murdered one of
them, on Sabbath morning and
thereafter declared his utter disgust
with the race. Two weeks later a
drunken negro deliberately shot the
son of Judge VIM. Kelley, of Philadel
phia. one of the most notorious aboli-
tionists, and negro-suffragists IN the
country. Young Kelley was returning
from a party. and refused TO talk with
the darkey. whom he found in the
street car. AS Kelley started TO leave
the car, the black rascal followed him
10 the door, and shot him seriously.
