Rev. George A. Thayer, who is well known throughout eastern Massachusetts, is an honest man. A gentleman who at one time managed a considerable amount of trust property became insane, and his affairs were found in a very bad condition. As guardian for some minor children, whose entire prep- erty was in his hands, he failed to account for the money intrusted to him, and the sureties on his bond, one of whon was Mir.
 Thsyer, were called upon to make up the deficit. The eo-surety with Mir. Thayer went into bank ruptcy and thus his amount of claim was voided; but MT. Thayer, on receiving a note from a lawyer that he would be obliged to respond, immediately placed in the hands of the lawyer every dollar he had, and pledged himself to make good the full amount of the bond, although in so doing he we'll knew that it would require all of his salary except what

A New York political organization calling itself the Reform Association" sued Judge Spier for two thousand dollars, the amount of an assessment laid upon him by the asso- clation for the expenses of the canvass in which Spier was candidate for judgeship, and which they claim he promised to pay. He did not pay it then, and after the election he refused, denying that he had made any promise, and asserting that if he had made it the promise would have been void for the illegality of the agreement. The New York statutes make it unlawful for any candidate for an elective office to contribute money to promote his election except for certain spec1- fled expenses, such as printing and circulat ing ballots, conveying sick, poor or infrm electors to the polls, and some others. The court holds that the promise, if there was any, was void under the statute, because the expenditures of the association are not con- fined to the authorized purposes. But the opinion goes further, saying that the agree ment alleged was contrary to good morals and public policy, and therefore absolutely void at common law. An association of ''Re- formers" ought not to go contrary to good morals and public policy.
 Missouri has 8 new law forbidding the manufacture or sale in that State of any imitation of butter, no matter whether repre- sented to be genuine or not. The oleomar- garine interest made desperate fight in a test case, carrying it to the Court of Appeals, on the question of the laws validity. The decision is that the prohibitory act is consti- tutional. "A statute prohibiting the manu- facture and sale of an article of food made in imitation of a wholesome arti- cle in common use," says the Court' (which initiated article is so repugnant to the tastes and prejudices of our people that they will not eat it when advised of it's real character, but only when cheated into the belief that it is the genuine article in resem- blance of which it is made, is a statute fairly within the police power of the State, not op- posed to any provision of the constitution of the State or of the constitution of the United States, and the wisdom of which is not to be called into question in the judicial courts; and this is so, although particular samples of such initiated articles may, in the opinion of scien- tiic men, be as wholesome and beneficial an article of food as the original substance in imitation of which it is made" The effect factories in St. Louis, where the sale of imi- tation butter, made from beef fat, lard and other materials, has been extensive.
