SOME of the High Tax organs after
abusing Judge Williams to their
hearts content for granting the in.
junction against the funding board,
have suddenly been attacked with a
brilliant flash of silence. The cen
trail organ, which came down from a
learned and dignifed style to speak
fippantly and cOntemptuously of
Judge Williams as Jack Williams,
suddenly shut up and has been mum
as an oyster on this subject for
a week or two. 1t has perhars become
inspired with a profound respect for
the judiciary in the person Of the
Nashville Judge before whom a motto /
to dikmiss the injunction bill has been
made. The other organs took the
hint-that is the most Of them-and
have also ceased TO refer to the State
debt question. Verify, the Nashville
American is a power'in the State
and is most ably and adroitly con-
Quoted. We take it for granted that
Judge Merritt the same as Judge
Williams is capable to gil his Office OF
he would not have been elected by an
intelligent constituency, that he is Q
conscientious man and has due regard
for his oath of Office and responsible
ties. Let him decide as he may, h

A Bad Pun.

A traveller from India relates to
This and That, the worst pun ever
known in that country since the arri-
val of the English. 1t was commence
ment day at one of the schools, and
the girls were out on the playground
amusing themselves before they should
be called. Presently a hungry lion
that had wandered away from the
jungles bounced in among them, carry
ing off the loveliest aud plumpest of
them all with her composition in
her pocket, a pretty schoolgirl essay
on kindness to animals. AS soon as
the horrible occurrence became known
the principal sailed out at the head
of determined company Of armed
men. They soon came upon the lion.
No girl was visible, but the king Of
beasts was licking his chops, and wore
look Of contentmeDt not to be mis-
taken.
The principal advancing cried out:
"Atrocious marauder, where is my
sweet girl grad, you ate2' The effect
was startling. The lion trembled,
sank in his tracks, and in a few min
utes had brcathed his last. The prin-
cipal claimed the hide, alleging that
he alone had killed the monster, but
some Of the company we're mean
enough to send to the newspapers a
report that the pun had nothing to do
with the death Of the lion, and that
the brute had perished on account Of
the sweet girl and her composition
having disagreed with him.

THE HOT WEATHER.


The extremely warm and unreasonable
weather of the past few days, besides being very
uncomfortable, has resulted In causing great
deal of sickness. The doctors in the District say
that there has been more than the usual amount
OF sickness, but the effect upon the mortality rate
will not be apparent at once, Usually spell of
warm weather Is followed by great deal of sick
ness and death. The record of the week during
which the warm weather occurs does not show the
effect us much as the following weeks. All through
the country where the warm weather has pre-
ynilcd-and 1t has been very gencral-there has
been great deal of sickness. The form which
the sickness takes is usually diarrhpal
complaints, and the hot spells are indi.
Gated MS well by the figures Of the Health
Board MS those of u METEOROLOGICAL chart. The
weekly bulletins of thc>Ioard of Health indicate
the periods Of hot weather very accurately by the
rise and fall mtle number Of diarrhGnl omplaiuts
reported The figures taken from the repOrt OF tho
Nationa1 Board of Health of the mortality in cities
show the number of deaths from darrhtcal com
pnnts as follows: Week ending June Is, $50; June
