This is one of the first attempts and cer-
tainy very successful one to give In volume Of
convenient size tho results OF those new, but pro-
foundly Interesting sciences, comparative phology
and comparative mythology. group which Sir Henry
Sumner Maine is striving to complete by adding COM
parativc Jurisprudence. The object Is grand one
no less than to trace the unity of all European
nations, Latin, Kelt, Teuton, and sav, back to
their common source in the high table lands of
Asia. The Impulse to these studies given by the
discovery of Sanskrit the classical tongue OF 1ndia
and probably tho oldest perfcctlanguage In the world
They carried by carefully collatlng every detail
OF grammar. root.form, and ineNion, and the myths
and fables occurring In the most ancient literature OF
every land--hencc the title OF this work. 1t Is n
fascinating pursuit. Gods demons, heroes, and nur-
sery rhymes all blend In harmonious nterpreta-
on, pointing their original In the sun, the dawn,
the wind, the clouds, and the other appearances of
nature which the Aryan mind tried to explain ITSELF
All these superstitons rescued from much OF the
accusation Of triyalty, barbarty grossness and
fusion under which they lie whom possess this key to
their meaning For instance, the inccssantly occurring
murders OF fathers by their children mean simply
that one day inevitably puts an end to the before

legends conclude, like that of Ulysses among

Interesting TO know that 'the Sleeping Beauty, who
pricks her finger with spindle, is the earth frozen
by the sharp sudden touch of winter The many dead
princes who strive to reach and awaken her the
suns which rise and set in the first bleak days Of
spring. Tho fated prince with golden locks is the
summer. With Its ardent kiss 1t awakens the white
Garth from Its long winter sleep-and she sleeps in

has doubtless been said to awaken interest In this at

over wonderful extent of territory and

and fiction with clear appreciation of what Is right

TIE CASE on ,JyDGE B1L11NGs.

There are such singular circumstances at
tending this case that we confess we feel
some interest in its decision. The opposition
is not inconsiderable on the other hand, we
are told that the three morning papers, pub
lished in New Orleans--all Democratic-two
unqualifedly endorse the Judge, and the
third announces that, while it would not
support him, its columns were not open to
publish abuse of him; and of the two evcn-
ing papers, both also Democratic, one en-
dorses and the other opposes him. The Pic
dyune, in one Of its editorials, says:
We have been shown ~ petition of tho business
men, including most of the presidents OF the banks
and insurance companies and most OF the oficers OF
the city government, and many Of the leading lrms
engaged in business here, asking the appointment Of
Judge Billings upon the ground Of his capacity and
mpartiality. Few men have ever received endorse
ments moro worthy OF consideration The fidelity
with which he has sought to protect our shipping and
commercial Interests his learning In the law, his In
dustry, the habits OF his mind, as evidenced In his
judicial career Justify the preference for him which
our people have shown.
The New Orleans Democrat, which is said
to be the organ Of the administration of Gov
ernor Wiltz, in one of its editorials, says:
Hence we say that since the appointment will not
be made from the ranks OF the Democratic party. It
docs not inspire us with regret that Judge holding
views consistent with the bost interests of our State
should succeed to the position, do feel called
upon to exert ourselves to accomplish his deieat In the
face OF tho prospect of securing occupant Of tho
bench whose views OF State sovereignty may be al.
rectly contrary to the best Interests OF our people.
The papers Of this city have enormously
attempted to anticipate the decision of a
subcommittee, who, we are assured, have
in no manner indicated, If they have formed,
any decision on the subject.
We do not attempt to reconcile the oppo.
sition with the support of Judge Billings
nor do We espouse either side. The puzzle
with us Is to see how all this could be said
by Democratic papers Of bad Republican
judge. The case, with its unusual features
is in the hands of committee of marked
ability, and We only say that it should, ant
we believe will, be fairly dealt with
