The poetry of agnostcism is something fear
full and wonderful if the Dublin Review has
not been deceived. 1t processes to have found
some such poetry in which there are "solemn
rollers that 'scurl leonine mouths like gil
ants impossible column and have name that
shakes unsearchabe lands" Another line
that shocked the Review read: "But her feet
are as ivory, shining like stars through the
lanes of the night" Either the Review is mis-
taken in calling this agnosticism or the Sweet

Important Doctrines 10 Newspaper Pr
prieiOrs from Judge LoaceII.

Important Doctrines 10 Newspaper Pro
prieiors from Judge LoscelI.
BosToN, Feb. 23.-In the United States
circuit court to-day Judge Lowell rem
dered decision in the libel suit of Ed
ward Crane VS.. the Boston Daily Ad0er-
tiSer, overruling the plaintiffs demurrer
to the defendants answer. The defend
ants answer was IN substance that Mr..
| Crane, being interested in securing con-
troll of the New York, and New England
railroad, the effort of the plaintiff to OBJ
tain control of the railroad was a matter
in which the public was interested
and was a proper subject of dis
cussion in the newspapers, and that
the defendant, believing that such con-
troll would be a public misfortune and
| would be serious injury to the railroad
and to the public, discussed PLAINTIFF
plans and qualifications in good faith and
| without malice, and that they
made only such statements and
reflections as they believed on due
inquiry and reasonable grounds to be true
and just and warranted by plaintiffs cts.
To this answer the plaintiff de-
INJURED and alleged that these
IeCltdiS, IL IIut, ulu uOG constitute
defense. Judge Lowell, in overruling
the demurrer, and, therefore, holding
the answer good, said: "The character
Of the plaintiff as constructor and
manager of railroads seems to me
to be open to public discussion when
he comes forward with so great and
important project affecting many in
terests besides the shareholders of one
road, and that therefore the defendants
or any other persons have a qualified
privilege which attaches to discussions
of public affairs. The distinction is that
when railroad is to be built, or a COM
pany to build it is to be chartered. the
question whether it shall be authorized
is public one. When the company is
organized and the stock is issued, any
thing which merely affects the value of
the stock is private"

Konors TO 8 Judge,

ST. LOUIS, March 3.-The twenty-fifth
anniversary OF Judge Samuel Treats service
as United States district judge for the eastern
district of Missouri, occurred to- day and not
withstanding the fact he had declined the
compliment of a banquet, and had requested
that the business of the court should not be
Interrupted by any ceremonial notice of the
occasion, most of the leading lawyers OF the
bar assembled IN the court room and congrat-
ulatory and complimentary speeches were
made by John F. Darby, the Oldest lawyer in
The CITY, Judge Cant and others. Judge Treat
made a brief and feeling reply, in which he
paid high compliment to the bar, and the
whole affair passed off very pleasantly. Judge
McClary, of the circuit bench, sent dispatch
from Keokuk, paying high tribute to Judge
Treats worth.
