SHOULD M CHAS0ED.--We hear a great
deal Of complaint among the stock traders
and others Of Bolye and Garrard in regard
to holding our County Court ON the lst
Monday instead Of the "a as il was before
the Legislature changed II a few years ago.
Many people and much stock are kept
from here because Mercer aud Madison
hold their Courts ON the same day, and
business Of all kinds, especially the hotel
keepers, suffer by il. No Count is held on
this side Of the River, in the stock region,
on the second Monday, and IL the change is
made the nearest conflicting Court will be
Fayetle, and that would not amount to
much.

Divine Judgment for Sabbath Breaking.

Toward the end of the sixteenth cent
ury, in England, Goods judgments :"
were much In vogue. A Suffolk clergy
man, named Bownd, adduces many such
judgments. One was the case of a no.
bleman swho, for hunting on the holy
day, was punished by having a child
with head like dogs" Though he
cites this instance, Bownd, in the mat
ter OF Sabbath observance, was very
lenient toward nobleman. With court
ier-hke pliancy, which is not without its
counterpart at the present time, he
makes an exception in their favor :
Concerning the feasts of noblemen
and great personages or their ordinary
diet upon this day, because they rep
resent in some measure the majesty of
God on the earth, in carrying the image,
as it were, of the magnifcence and puis-
sance of the Lord, much is to be grant
ed them"
The civil war was regarded as a pun
ishment for Sunday dissertation. The
fire OF London and subsequent great
fire In Edinburgh were ascribed to this
cause, while the fishermen of Berwick
lost their trade through catching salmon
on Sunday A drunken peddler, "fraught
with commodities on Sunday, drops
into river. One Utrich Schroetorus, a
Swiss, while playing at dice on the
Lords day, lost heavily, and apparently
to gain the devil to his side broke out in
to this horrid blasphemy: IF fortune
deceive me now I will thrust my dagger
into the body of God" Whereupon he
threw the dagger inward IT. dissn
peared, and five drops Of blood, which
afterward proved indelible, fell upon
the gaming table. The devil then ap-
peared, and, with O. hideous noise, car
ried off the vile blasphemer. His two
companions Jared no better. One was
struck dead and turned into worms, the
other was executed.-Po1oas2ar Science

Watering Horses.

There is great diversity OF opinion
as to how often horses should be watered
during a day, whether in summer or in
winter. We have an article now before
us of a writer of some distinction as an
agriculturist, who advocates frequent
watering of work horses, as a remover
of the vigor of the animals. We can
not agree with him. We think both
man and beast are generally watered too
much. Men and horses at hard work in
warm weather perspire just in proper
ton to the quantity Of fluids taken into
the stomach. Frequent drinking In hot
weather, according to our experience,
emasculates instead of refreshes. Some
years ago, being at Cape May, in Griv-
ing outfn one of the stand-coaches of
the place on very hot day, we asked the
driver how it was that his horse per-
spired SO little, while the horses of pri-
vate carriages, going at slower speed,
were covered with foam. He replied
that he watered his horses three times q
day only, though he sponged their
mouths frequently, while the private
drivers watered their horses whenever
they stopped. He said, and it seemed
to US very sensible, that the frequent
watering of horses effected no good pur-
pose, while it made them very uncon-
Portable and iethargic. Horses, no mat
ter what their work was, did not need
watering oftener than three times day.
Our own experience with horses all our
life Is to the same effect. Exchange.

A Campaigning Anecd0te.

An incident of camp-meeting life, de-
tailed bya clergyman on Baltimore
steamboat; is thus reported In Forest
and StTean:
An old couple had supplied themselves
with o bottle Of pennyroyal oil with
which to keep off the mosquitoes. They
extinguished their light and retired,
forgetting the anidote.
The mosquitoes were very bad, and,
after standing it as long as they could,
the old lady got up and got well-flled
ink-bottle instead of the Oil, and gave
the old gentleman thorough lubricat-
ing with the fluid, face, hands and feet :;
she then anointed herself in like man
ner.
They again assayed to court the
drowsy god, but could only get an COCA
sional nap. Finally the old lady got up
and struck light. Giving a glance at
the bed she had just left, she beheld, to
her horror, a colored person, as she sup
posed, stretched in the place of her
spouse.
She quietly got the poker, and beat
the old fellow over the head before dis
covering her mistake. Later ON in the
night, we found the old couple on board
the boat with us, he with his head near
ly as big as bale OF hay, and she caring
for him with the greatest solicitude.

How the Supreme Court Is Opened.

To begin with, there is degree of
dignity and stately bearing about the
court and its members. which permeates
even to the most humble attache. There
is d quiet in the courtroom which re-
calls the Sabbath of the Covenanters.
When one enters, the involuntary feel
ing comes ON that the room is set aside
only for the contemplation of the sober
side of life, and VICE to him who gibes or
jokes IN the august presence of the
court. The court is opened about this
fashion: At II o'clock (noon) the
Justices come In from the consulting
rooms and take their seats on the
bench. Away to the left Of the cham
Der Is seen a youthful officer, whose
business is to catch the first glimpse of
the advancing Judges. Then comes
three raps with a ponderous gavel by
the same officer. This is meant as
signal for the audience to rise. Then,
with the Chief Justice in advance,
the Judges enter from the right of the
chamber. 10 the rear of the. JUS
tees seats is an aisle. In the CEN
ter is an aTehed entrance for the Chief
Justice. Through this aisle the Judges

left. None enter until the Chief JUS
tice emerges from the center ell
trance. After all have filed in, the Chief
Justice makes a graceful obeisance to
the standing audience. Then the JUS
tees take seats, stroke of the gavel Is
made, and the audience seats itself. The
opening of the court falls upon youth
ful official. It is after the old English
form, ooh, yea; oh, yea" etc, and con-
cludes with the words, God bless the
honorable Supreme Court" The court
is now ready for business. ALI the JUS
tees are clad in black silk gowns with
an ecclesiastical cut. In the dispatch of
business the Chief Justice is quite expe-
ditioua He is always ready with re-
ply to question, and eminently salts
factory. The Justices on the bench as
sumo different attitudes. Justice Miller
sinks down low in his chair, and but lit
tie can be seen of him but the top of his
head. So also does Justice. Bradley.
The Chief Justice sits erect most of the
time when not hearing an argument,
busy in consulting the calendar.

The Burr.HamiItOn Duel.

On the 4th day OF July, 1904, Alex
ander Hamilton and Aaron Burr had
met for the last time as public charac-
ters at the dinner of the Cincinnati.
The arrangements for the duel, which
were of the most secret character, had
then been fully made, but not one guest
at the dinner would have suspected their
existence. Eye-witnesses long afterward
recalled the imperturbable face of Burr
and the vivacity Of Hamilton, who was
in the chair, and over the walnuts and
the wine sang the ballad of "The
Drum" Eleven days later the antago
nists met at Weehawken-the beauties
of which, as sung by Halleck and Rob
ert G. Sands, the local poets of the Pc
Rod, have long been destroyed. The
rocks on which the adversaries stood
have been made into blocks OF Weehaw-
ken granite and pave the streets of the
metropolis. William P. Van Ness, who
eight years afterward filed the Office
now filled by Judge Choate, was Burr's
second on that dark day, and Judge

Senator Pendleton, was Hamilton's sec

his pistol to level. It is

as acute, were intensified by the re-
membrance that less than three years
previously his eldest son, Philip, had
also been killed in duel. By his bed
