men are always courteous. The desire

inducement fol them to cultivate thls
good quality. It is Just as easy 10 be
courteous as the reverse. The time las

relation to the loss Of weight wonld
have been of value to the medical
profession as a means Of determin-
ing the safe minimum of nourish-
ment for a patient afflicted with a
serious gastric or intestinal disease.
Medical science gains nothing from
the results of the fast; humanity
gains nothing ; the public gains
nothing. Least of all has DR.. Tanner
cause for congratulation. He has
seriously and permanently impaired
his previously fine constitutional
powers, for it is not to be doubted
that Nature will exact the full pen
atty for SO reckless disregard Of
her laws. Should his life be pro-
longed beyond the age of 60, he
will probably have ample lre;lson
to bitterly regret his tooIhardiness.
Moreover, he has won a victory
without fruit and without honor.
There was no principle at stake,
the pecuniary gain was trivial, and
the fame he has gained is not with
out a liberal admiXture of nndesir-
able elements. So long as his forty
days fast shall be remembered it
will rest under cloud of ridicule,
doubt, and suspicion, such as hung
around Barnum's mermaid and the
Cardiff giant. There is one conso-
latlon for him, however. He has
conf"nnded the doctors, '.regu-
lar, S'irregular,7 and nondescript,
and has set at naught their learned
theories about the proper diet for
weak stomach. They may qnes-
ton his good faith and charge him
wltA all manner of deception. But
none Of them can deny that at the
end OF his time of trial, when his
stomach was in a wretched condi
ton, he drank a blinming glass of
milk, and ate a peach, part Of a
WaterIpelon, and a pound of beef
steak, and there is scarcely a ply
slcian within fifty miles of Ciaren-
dom Hall who would rot have
solemnlv declared that such a
breaking of his fast would be cer-
tainly and speedily t;stal.-N. 7.

Judge Buxton.

We see it stated in some Of oar
exchanges-and the statement is
susceptible of proof--tElat upon an
occasion Judge Buxton, now the
Radical nominee for Governor,
wrote letter from Harnett county,
to the then Governor Holden, in
which he complained, that he could
not discharge the functions of his
Office on account of disloyalty and
law-lessness Of the the people, and
asked tor troops to support and sus-
tain him and SO we see, that as
soon as the opportunity for evil
presented itself this immaculate
Judge embraced it as readily ard
as zcalously as the most vindictive
and vicious of them all.

just emerged from a desperate and
bloody struggle, unparalleled in
the history of the world, before the
hot blood engendered by the strife,

But blows across the grave

Below the sweet sunshine
To hear he zephyr's breath

Too far to know the footsteps.

Below the tangled grass.

Grew tired by the way,

A bothered Jury.

The case of Henry l.. Crawford, charged with
maintaining public nuisance by operating the
asphalt works at the corner of Eleventh and B
Streets which has occupied the Criminal Court for
week past, was given tothe jury yesterday at 1880
o'clock. Probably the tedious trial has proved
greater nuisance than the asphalt works which
formed the subject of complaint. There has been
more asphalt, concrete, rough aud liquid tar, hot
sand, chlorate of lime, and bud poetry passing
through the cOurthouscn in the past seven days than
II was imagined possible TO get into the chamber.
II seemed to bother the jury to decide whether or
not Mr.. CraniOrd's works were nuisance, for
after they had been in their room an hour they re-
turned TO the Judge seeking further instructions.
Thicr most pertinent inquiry being whether, in
case u few people complained of the works, and
Mr.. Crawford Kept them us clean as possible, that
would make them public nuisance His honor
once more laid down the law, the jury picked It
up and went back to their chamber The insruc.
tions did not help them out of their dilemma, and
being unable to agree they were discharged. 1t
was ntterward ascerained that they stood ten for
conviction and two for aCQultal.

thought of where get pair of skates afer school,
Time moved very slowly for the impatient scholars,
but finally three o'clock came, and the rush toward
the lake began. At four o'clock, when RErUB-
LIcAN representative visited the lake, the carnival
was at its height Hundreds of boys and girls
wearing every description of skates, glided over
the polished surface, careless alike of any cravings
for dinner and piles of school books which lined
theshores ofthe lake. Several cntcrprsing darkies
had rigSed up chairs on runners and, with half q
dozen pairs of skates over their backs, sCanpercd
around in search of customers They did not have
to go far, however, rs their stock of not

dJnned their shurpgned steels and slid of. The
o'clock the scene at the Lake was one of rare
beauty. Dozens of young ladies and their escorts
skinned in graceful style from one end of the
lake TO the other, and In numerous instances gave
Il pretty exhibition of grace and speed. II was
conceded that the honors among the fair sex be-
lOnged to two young ladies wearing long ulstcrs
and derby hats, perched coquettishly on the sides
Of their heads. They skated together, and seemed
the very embodiment OF grace and skill, executing
sCme of the most difficult and nnciful figures
known to skaters with ease and precision. An
elderly gentlemen wearing burnside whiskcrs
ana plug hat grew young again under the eN-
