Magazine Notices.

The February Atlantic opens with poem
more than four pages long by Mr.. Whittier,
entitled The Bay of Seven Islands, and those
who enjoy Mr.. Whittier's poetry, as millions
of Americans do, will find this one of the most
attractive features Of the magazine, although
it contains two additional chapters of Mr..
Lathrops engaging story An Echo of Passion,
and the opening chapters of The House of a
Merchant Prince, serial story by w. H.
Bishop, the author of Detmold. This last story
is to continue throughout the year, and prom
ises to be well worth reading. The second
series of Studies in the South perhaps has No
feature so striking as the visit to the Moon
sinners in the previous article; still IL is SO
clearly based upon careful and impartial OBJ
servaeion, and is written with snch perfect
clearness, that it cannot fail to be read with
great interest Miss Sarah Orne Jewett con-
tributes another of her delightful New Eng
land stories, entitled Toms Husband, and it is
hardly saying too much TO pronounce any num-

The New Judge.

The Presidents appointment of Nathan
Webb as the successor of the late Judge Fox
on the bench of the District Court strikes all
who know Mr.. Webb as one entirely fit to
be made. Even those who strongly favored
the other worthy ca dates urged for this
honorable position bear willing tribute to
the eminent abilities of the successful candi-
date and his singular qualifications for the
bench. Perhaps unfortunately for jurispru-
dence, judges, unlike poets, are appointed,
not born. But President Arthur has done
much to remedy this mistake of nature and
reconcile us to it. His appointments have
generally been excellent, and he is especial
ly happy in his selections for the bench.
Judge Webb will, all who have the good
fortune of his acquaintance are convinced,
strengthen the respect that the great services
of his eminent predecessors in the District
Court has secured. His townsmen find a
strong qualification in the honor bestowed
upon him. He is an sble man in the right
place.

The Spanish Congressman.
InGath'' in Cincinnati Enquirer.l


On one of the rear seats far off from your eye
you easily distinguish a man of most erect bear
ing, with rich black beard; dark, yet pale,
skin, very black hair, and wearing suit of
cloth, beneath which you see small, peculiar
feet in shapely boots. That is the only Span
lard in this Congress, or, rather Mexican-Ro-
mualdo Pacheco-one of the four California
REPRESENTATIVES. We inherited him when we
bought California, like one of the rich Mexican
grants He was born under the old Mission OF
Santa Barbara, which extends its white facade
and old stone troughs and fountains against the
green hillsides confronting sailors on the ships
which sail that coast. He went to sea himself,
like his Catalonian or Castilian fathers, and
got experience, and also learned agriculture
among the great herds and about the irrigating
streams that tickle among the high mountains
through the plateaus. He was boy when
California became Americanized, thoEgh he is
now but fifty. At twenty-five he was in the
American Legislature, then was judge, and
from the State Senate was elected State Treas
urer, Lieutenant-Governor, and by the election
of the Governor to the Senate became Cover
nor of California. He has since been three
times elected to Congress. II you watch this
man walk up and down the aisle you will see
how strongly marked are the characteristics OF
an old race. He still speaks with slight Span
ish accent A warm-hearted man, patriotic as
if he had been a son of Washington, with
daughter of whom he is very fond,
he IS still politician enough, with large
part of the credit of having made Keifer
Speaker. He is the Chairman of the Com
mittee on Private Land Claims, of which he
ought to know as much as any man in the
country, He is one of the few Congressman
whom your wife or daughter would pick out on
the first visit and say: There, now, is a gen,
tleman who looks as il he knew something"
Yet Californians say he has no snap, and was
only nominated to get the Greaser vote.

A Smart Red Headed Young Man.

Now take that man with the red hair, writes
"Gath," with long tuft Of red beard, tall
wiry figure, rapid and nervous action Of the
hands, ball-topped head with the red streaks of
hair, crossing it-that is James Belford, the
only representative on the floor of the young
est state in the Union. Lean as he is you
could make two or three sBelmonts out of him
He is only Al years old "a free fellow, student,
positive, Indifferent about forms, feeling his
liquor quickly, If he takes any, and he can do
more work in twelve hours than the whole
Massachusetts delegation, because he repre-
sents the community with work to do, with 10,-
900 interests lying directly on this government.
Massachusetts, is finished in her governmental
relation. and that ease and trance-like state
which attends ancient religious and old socie-
ties is the legislative life of Massachusetts here
while Colorado is like young girl Just married
and doing the best she can to make her old
man she'll out while he is still fond OF her.
Belford is the young gal, and he has thousand
winning ways to push to the front. His frame
is energzed by the ambition new country
presents. The Senate is before him. His name
will be on a acounty of Colorado. He has smart
and unscrupulous rivals there. His friends IN
Colorado depend on him, and perhaps the town
where he lives expects he will push 1t forward
by services here. Up to the present time he has
had IN Congress- for four Congresses. This
means that when Colorado shall expand 10
have 900 coo people, all the school histories
will indicate Belford as ono OF the founders OF
the state He stepped of the supreme bench
there to come to Congress.

In the absence of any greater excitement
in Kentucky, the wordy scrimmage between
Congressman Blackburn and Gen. Burbridge
seems to be considered quite entertaining
in that State, but in some other parts of the
South there is growing dislike for fighting
over the old battles of the rebellion. The
New Orleans Times Democrat, as an exam
pie of the papers which speak sensibly, says
in reference to the controversy:
Our backs are turned in solemn earnest up
on the war of 20 years ago. We are marching
onward to goal which borrows nothing from
the tragic pomp of that regretful episode. We
thank no one for asking us TO pause that he
may pluck from its cerements some grisly REM
iniscence to torment our ears.

THE temperance movement is making
steady progress inthe South. One sspoint-
'er' is afforded by the statement of the Pine
Bluff Ark Eagle, that the young ladies of
that town on New Years day abandoned
the time-honored custom of serving their
callers wine, and provided nothing stronger
than coffee. Apropos, the Atlanta Consti-
tuition remarks that ''the progress of the
temperance movement in Georgia is not fa-
natical, but it is quiet and persistent, slowly
making ground and retaining every position
gained.'

Italy will, trust, in the course of o few
months or So get rid of her peculiarly nasty,
flimsy, malodorous paper money. was in It
ally when this inconvertible currency was first
issued, in 1866, just before the war with Aus

first took to the issue of paper currency in
1861, and that it was not until 1877 Il thinkl
that greenbacks became interchangeable, at
par, for bullion. After only fifteen years Of
forced circulation, the italian Biglietti ConSor-
ziali are now at par, or nearly so-that is to
say, you get but a few centesini premium in
exchanging napoleon for notes; but there
seem to be some banking difficulties in the
way, hampering an immediate return to cash
payments Meanwhile you are in a continual
state of evaporation at having to handle the
dank and greasy little rags which continue to
pass current in Italy for "honest money.

interesting reading than Cobbett's famous and

GOVERNOR Gear of Iowa, in his annual
message, alluded to the fact that, while in
almost every case of murder where the of
fense is too notorious to admit of the doubt
of guilt insanity is pleaded, it is hardly ever
heard of III connection with any other crime
He recommended that the law require that
insanity be specially pleaded and tried by
experts, and that the inquiry be into the
state of mind of the defendant at the time
of the act the burden of proof being upon
the defendant.
