Outcome Of a Spelling School.

a graduate from the High School in

about two hundred miles north of De,

several writtenrecommends and whole
cart-load of enthusiasm. He found the
school house to be .one-story affair

The teacher, however, went to work
to hammer knowledge into their crani'
ums, and he had convinced most of them
that the world was round, and that the
sun neither rose nor set in that country,
when it came time to have a spelling
school. For convenience sake it was held
in a big barn, and the turnout included
everybody from the boy who spelled
corn the same as ''horse,h for con.
venience sake, to the old man who always
put Gin haistn on his letters to his brother
in Vermont.

Upright Judge.

L. o.. o.. ID
A Judge full of caustic humor aud
shrewd common sense. and remarkable
for the brevity of his judgments and the
rapid decision with which he was wont
TO cut the much entangled knots of
litigation, was Sir Samuel Martin, Baron
OF the Exchesuer, whose death at the age
of eighty-two was almost Simultaneous,
BY curious coincidence, with the recent
opening of the new law courts of London.
In a certain case he once summed up as
follows, after mass of contradictory
testimony and long speeches by counsel.
Gentlemen of the jury, you have heard
the evidence and the speeches of the
learned COUNSEL IL you believe the old
woman in red. you will find the prisoner
guilty; if You do not believe her, you will
find him not guilty" He had thorough
hatred for interpreters in court, and
once, when Spanish sailor was being
tried and the interpreter was particularly
unskiliful. he exclaimed: 'Mr. Inter.
prefer, tell the. prisoner that he has goa
Mr.--to prosecute him and Mt
defend him, and that / am the Judge
and this is the jury that win try him"
This having been conveyed to the pris-
oner, the Baron continued: "Now Mr.,
Interpreter. stand down." aud tried the
whole case in English, pure and simple,
Baron Martins career was full of mercy
and kindness as wei as justice, and he
LEFT the bench a few years ago crowned
with the respect and love of all who
knew him. Apart from growing deaf
ness. his physical and intellectual fscul-
ties remained unimpaired until within
three days of his death.-London Truth
