As we have b Ell lately solicited 10 sign
! petition for yoGr removal, We construe
this publication to be made as Il matter Of
revenge for our refusal. IT, this end, the
writer refers to petition against your
reappointment, and from his memory pre-
tends u site It's contents. As this peti
! ton was signed over Il year ago, the gen
! tieman's memory is much at fault aS TO
its contents. That petition was signed by
rs ior the purpose OF aiding the appoint
ment of v. Lair Hill, whose legal attain
ments we then held and still hold III high
! esteem There was nothing in the peti-
ton rehcctin" upon your intelligence is IA
man or your integrity As a Judge. We
/ should not have used our influence t. have
| displaced you and put an unknown man
in your place. We wele not theu III favor
! pf such d change, and after another years
experience W. al. decidedly opposed to
sucir change.
We are aware that the best of lawyers
/ frequently differ from each other IN regard
( to points Of law. Where statutes are
cruie and conflicting like our own and
there are fcw decisions upon them, these
differences are quire frequent. Judges
are but lawyers, and in making a decis-
! ion they must differ from some attorney
in opinion. Who is right and who is
wrong can only be ascertained by appeal
ana then the appellate court may err.

and the more thought he bestows upon
the subJac', the more willing he is t" con-

ment was well understood by the bellies
of the period. The Roman fashions Of
arranging the hair differed from those
customary in Greece, and were of in
finite variety. Curls and plaits Of natu-
raj and artificial hair had to be combined
in various ways, and some of these ar
rangements were far from becoming. In
imperial times the expresses setthe lash
ions for the cOiffures, and many curious
examples of dressing the hair have been
preserved on ancient coins. With re-
gard to the chaussure of Roman ladies,
we may remark that, like their Greek
sisters, they preferred embroidered and
gaudily painted or ornamented shoes
and half boots to the sandals. Socks
and stockings seem only to have been
worn on the stage. The jewel cases of
Roman ladies were Overlooking with the
spOils of the world, and even to enumer-
ate their contents would carry us too
far. Suffice it to say that nothing in
the way of pearls, precious stones and
gold ornaments was too costly for the
great ladies and handles of the period.
Lola, the wife of the Emperor Caius
Claudius, appeared in public covered
with emeralds and pearls to the value of
nearly fl,OOO,O 900; and Julius Cesar
gave ESQ, 900 for one single pearl, which
he presented to the mother of Brutus.

THE "NDLAN SUMNER"

The path with dead leaves all are strewn,
And in the blast the stripped bOughs shiver
From gOrse and stubble far and near
The quail are calling shrill and clear,
And Whitley CLEANS the ruff1ed river.
In gardens, where but yesterday
Ger rainbow tints the sun was glowing,
The slopes lie hueless now, and bare,
Save in warm corners here and there,
Where blue chrysanthemums are blowing.
The sun of all his fire looks shorn,
And wrapped in ashen clouds lies sleeping
There is a chill in every breath;
A CHASTITY grayness, as of death,
Seems DER the dreary landscape creeping.
So falls the night! But with the morn,
A lifted mist, and 10! a wonder!
The skies that shine Italia's seas
Glow not more deeply blue than these
The SUMS bright lances cleave asunder.
A Thousand hues OF scattered light
Now touch the earth with crystal splendOr
The sOdden leaves are glOrifed;
The river rolls q golden tide;
And hearts grow warm and eyes grow ten
der.
This is wonder, passing strange,
OF our fair land to each new conner;
And yet, beyond the touch of Time,
In every age, in every cline,
Hath not each life its Indian Summer?

The Dark Ages How the Poeple Of

raising, rapine, rapes, etc.-it appears
to us that time must have dragged along
very heavily. In reality, to the mass Of
those who knew no better, those times
of universal ignorance and tOrpidity
must have been at least negatively
agreeable. With the rare exception of
s.'me solitary student, of some scheming
churchman, or some statesman in adj
vance Of his age, we may take it for grant
ed that nobody thought very deeply.

TecuDseh's Powder Horn.

We were yesterday shown by Capt.
Thomas p. feathers q reminiscence of
the past in the shape of q powder horn
which was taken from the body of the
celebrated Indian Chief Tecumseh by
the father of Capt. feathers after he
was killed. The recollection of Capt.
Leathers's father was that when the
body of Tecumseh was found, it was
pierced with about a dozen bullet
wounds, several of which would have
certainly proved fatal. The question of
"WhO killed Tecumseh?'' is one there
fore which can never be settled. The
powder horn taken from his person bore
evidence of considerable ingenuity ON
the part of the person who made it, and
would in these practical days have enti-
tied its maker to q patent. The mouth
piece of the horn was so arranged as to
screw on and off, and when taken off
could be used as funnel by which the
horn could be conveniently filed with
powder. In connection with this in
geniOus continuance, Capt. feathers
mentioned the fact that breech-lOading
guns were used in that Indian war.
This is true, and the origin of the breech-
loader is probably due to the suggestions
of Gen. Andrew Jackson, who desired
their construction for the purpose of
giving the frontier Indian-fghter an OPP
portunity of loading his gum while lying
behind the logs of the forest, without
exposing his person to the ever-watch-
full savage foe. Some of our older citi-
zens will remember these breech-lOad-
ing guns, which were called the Hall
rifle. We remember some of these Hall
guns, which were unearthed from some
quarter at the beginning of the war Of
secession, but in the face of the great
improvements which had been begun to
be made in weapons of warfare, they
were soon laid aside as far behind the
times.-Natchez Miss. } Democrat.

sufficiently ample to envelOp the whole

mantle worn by women was called in
graceful folds over the stola, so as to
show the embroidered parts of the TUNES
and the figure to the best advantage,
was matter of study and anxious con.
Germ with Roman ladies. Their great
wish was to appear original in
this respect and to set the
fashion. To describe the various
methods of arranging the palla on the
figure would be impossible. The favor
lite color for the toga and palla was a
creamy white, the natural hue of wool.
and remained the fashion with the
higher classes for long time. Only
the lower classes wore nantes of differ
ent eolors, while togas dyed, striped and
edged with purple were reserved for oc-
casiOns of state and to mark the rank of
officials. OF course ladies could not be

to feel her pulse, her fingers closed like
a wise on his, and with convulsive eff
fort she murmured, "That was a terri
BILE wish," and relapsed into uncon-
seriousness. Doctors were sent for, and,
on examination, they found an arm
broken, knee-cap almost crushed, and
many cruel bruises. She was carried
home, and, be it said to Mr.. Barnum's
credit, was not allowed to want for any
thing. Her new friend called frequently
to leave fruit and flowers for her, and at
last, when she was pronounced con-
valescent, was admitted to her presence.
Then she told her story, simple, short,
and sOrrowful.
Born and brought up in little town
not a hundred miles from Albany, and
by parents who, though not wealthy,
were in comfortable circumstances, and
the owners of small hotel, she had led
a happy, joyous life, until she reached
IL, at which age she enjoyed all the dig
nifty of leading the village choir and
driving her own span of ponies. About
that time the salesman of a well known
firm in st. Louis stopped at her fathers
house, fell in love with her, proposed
marriage, and was accepted; she think
ing it very fine thing to have q lover
from large city.
Shortly afterward they were welded,
and went to st. Louis to live, her hus-
band taking her to his sisters home.
His sister was spinster of uncertain
age and temper, but having q large in
terest in the firm which her brother rep

other end to the leg of bedstead. Then
opening the window, he carefully low
cred himself until he dangled opposite
his bedroom window, in which situation
he attracted his wife's attention. That
estimable woman was at last convinced
that her husband was in earnest, and
that he had actually hanged himself.
Filled with horror, she sprang to the
window, and remembering that person
who had hanged himself should be cut
down as soon as possible, she cut the
cord with large pair of scissors. Mr..
McGinnis fell heavily to the ground,
and when he was subsequently picked
up he had just strength enough left to
remark that at last he was satisfied, and
then hastily expired.
This incident affords a valuable prece-
dent to men who desire to know if their
wives really love them. 1t would, how
ever, be well for any husband who pro-
poses to hang himself to so manage the
affair that his feet shall be but few
inches from the ground. When, in such
circumstances, he is cut down by hor-
rified wife, he will be none the worse
physically for his experiment, and his
wife will be saved the trouble and ex-
pense of . funeral.-N. Y. Times.
