the big trees in the Yosemite the other
day. The tree has borne his name since
the war. The nearest giant tree is named
ANDY Johnson. The guide told Grant
story of Judge Jackson, of Georgia,
who few wears ago visited the trees.
Having spread his cloth under General
Grant" Judge Jackson had put the first
mOrsel into his mouth when some one
happened to mention the name of the
tree. The unrecOnstructed judge at
once arose, took up his dishes, his cloth
and his basket and moved over to candy

dined.

"What do you ca II your fatherY" is a
very pertinent question that could very
appropriately be asked some of young
acquaintance whose names we hold for
their credit. "Old man." "Old Badly"
"Dad," "Boss," etc., are terms used
by young men when they have refer
ence to their father, to whom they owe
more politeness and respect than to any
one else, except perhaps it is their moth
er. These terms are vulg ar and should
be avoided, but the habit of using such
appellatiOn as these is polite when oom-
pared to the habit praotised by some of
our more careless young friends who
are in the habit of calling their father
or step-father, as the case may be, by
their given names such as John"
"Jim," or whatever his name happens
to be. Now the young man, whoever
he may be, under whose eyes this ar
ticle may chance to fall, who is in the
habit of calling his father or mother by
their given name should at once discard
the practice as vulgar and improper and
altogether disgusting to the higher
planes of society and more especially
among aged people.

To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
CIRCUIT COURT.
Circuit Court adjourned to-day. Considerable
activity has characterised this august body Judge
Rose, in his charge to the jury Monday morning,
congratulated them on the moral improvements
that there we're only sixteen cases the criminal
docket where two years ago there consider
ably over one hundred. He also congratulated the
grand jury to-day finding many new bills Of
indictment-as many as twenty-seven. Hitherto
it has been so shaped to shield those guilty of
crime. Hope this day has passed.
ALL QUIET.
We haven't had the slightest disturbance, not the
least, during the entire court; not 80 much as a
loud oath. Good reasons-no whisky about. I
understand that the party who has been engaged
in selling does not propose to sell any more.
Hence we have hopeful outlook. The cause OF
all trouble is traeeable to whisky. The Fugate
and Mcvey difficulty never would have occurred
but for whisky.
