WRESTLING WITH JUSTICE.

cOmpilmenIeu COuHSelioI IiiShtoIi, hoi-
loch's lawyer, upon his "splendid de-
fense' of the case and spoken of his
having scored .sgreat victory" In
reality there is little, from common
sense standpoint, for Highton to be
proud of. He has saved a common
murderer from the gailoWs, not by rea-
son of his great ability a. an attorney,
but by the assistance of collection of
periurers and jury of knaves. The
affair might be described as follows:
Counsellor Highton's great wrestling
match with Justice, which closed a few
days ago, resulted in a signal victory
for the attorney. Those who witnessed
the match speak in the highest terms
of Highton's tactics, which outWitted
the Old girl from the start. Before the
two closed it was supposed that the
weight and experience Of Justice would
give her decided odds. Highton took
away her sword and pitched it under
the Judges chair, following up his adj
vantage by throwing her scales out Of
the window, amid wild shouts Of ap-
plause from the spectators. Securing
his favOrite hold, he threw her over his
head, her heels describing q semicircle
in the air. After that he had it all his
own way, the heavy fall fairly knocking
cS1 !. tbo fno
throw she was removed from the ring
in perfectly exhausted condition and
utterly Frustrated. She was so badly
handled that her trainers fear that she
will not be in condition 10 make fight
with Wheeler, against whom she is next
matched. There was q time when this
powerfully built woman had it all her
own way. Old age appears to be telling
on her, however, and her frequent fail
ures indicate that she is by no means
the formidable antagonist Of fifty years
ago. Highton feels SO confident of his
ability to whip her again tina he re
marked last night that he would allow
her to take the bandage off her eyes
and wrestle her for thousand dollars
a side. Many believe that he could
throw her even against these heavy |
odds.
The Chinese are said to believe that |
the reason why those who read the |
Bible become Christians is due to the |
stupefyiug power of the ink, which !
takes away his reason and leaves him
ready to believe a false doctrine.
Warnings against the purchase Of for
eign books are frequent in consequence
of this superstition.-E,atey
Doubtless the cause Of so many diff
ferent interpretations being put upon
verses in the Bible, is the fine print.
Old ladies Of sixty and upwards who
read through q pair of 1880 spectacIcs
spell out the words their own way and
then enter into fierce discussions re-
garding matters of biblical history Of
which they have no correct idea.
From the following, published in the
Providence Journal, it would seem that
