An Upright Judge.

A Judge full of caustic humor and
shrewd common sense, and remarkable
for the brevity of his judgments and the
to cut the much entangled knots of
litigation, was Sir Samuel Martin, Baron
OF the Exchequer, whose death at the age
of eghty-two was almost simultaneous,
by curious coincidence, iwith the recent
opening of the new law courtsof London.
In 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 rof the
learned, counsel. If 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 a Spanish sailor was being
tried and the interpreter was particularly
unskillful, he exclaimed: ''Mr. Inter
prefer, tell the prisoner that he has got
Mr.l-to prosecute him and Mr.. - to
defend him, and that l am the Judge,
and this is the jury that will try him"
This having been conveyed to the pris-
Oner, the Baron continued: "N0w Mr..
interpreter. stand down." and tried the
whole case in English, pure and simple.
Baron Martins career was full of mercy
and kindness as well 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 facul-
ties remained unimpaired until within
three days Of his death. London Truth

The Right Way.

History, shows that "as the twig is
bent the trees inclined" and to begin
with the young in any movement is to
begin in the right way. This mode of
attack on intemperance commends itself
to all kinds of Temperance workers,
whether they be Prohibit;onists or those
favoring high license. The philosophy
of this plan is simply, as Archbishop
Hughes once said: "Give me the boys
up to twelve, and the men are nine"
a right to instruct his children, and the
State is the head of a great family. If,
in our public schools, science and ex-
perience could be made to demonstrate
that all the effects of alcoholic drinks
are bad, we shoull begin with the hope
of perm ,nent success. Oral teaching
in all our common schools will not. cost
an additional d II II, AMI textbook
setting forth the true nature of alcohol
by high medical authority would 90 a
long way in the right direction.
A gentleman who has given his life to
this work has been visit ng the Legis-
latures and the Governors OF our West
ern States, seeking to enlist them in a
movement which shall make it possible
for the majority OF citizens id sny COM
munity to see to it that Temperance
principles are taught in our common
schools. DR.. Willard Par er. of New
York, writes: "We shall never control
alcohol until we have taught the people,
first, what alcohol is; second, what it
will do to us if we drink it; and third,
what it will make us do. can see no
way that this can be dore but through
the common Schools Ex-President
HAYES slys: Believing that, in
the long run, education. using the word
in its broadcast sense. will prove in our
country the most effective means of pre-
venting the evils of intemperance, it
follows that the State has right togive
instruction in this important matter in
our public schools. We are glad to
notice that this movement has the
hearty support and Endorsements of Gov
ernor James II. Berry, of Arkansas,
and of Governor Click, of Kansas, who
is known as an anti-Prohibitionist, but
who says: II am not IN favor of Pro-
hibition, but of all else that will de-
crease The drink traffic, We are glad
to notice, also, that such men as DR.. A.
A. Miner, of Boston, that lifelong
Temperance worker, DR.. Goodell, of
st. Louis, and other leading ministers
are committed to this plan. 1t inter-

Temperance Items.

DR.. HAMMON5, formerly Surgeon
General of the United States army, says:
81 tnow of no possible condition which
renders the use of whisky, gin, rum or
brandy necessary or proper"
Nor ONLY is Temperance hygiene to
form part of the studies in all the Yer
mont schools, but all the teachers of
that State are to pass an examination
by Novem er |, 1882. in physiology and
hygiene, with special reference to the
effects of alcoholic stimulants upon the
human system.
THAT THE WORK of the Temperance
miss onary accomplishes permanent
good is evidenced by the fact that since
the visit of Mr.. r. L. Booth, two years
ago, to Newcastle, England, fifty-six
drinking places have gradually shut up
shop, and four brewer es-one of them
the largest in the town-have been
closed.
WIEN SOME of the higher post-o flee
officials in England objected to the car
riers dopning the Tenn erance symbol
of the blue ri bon the Pc tmaster- en-
eral gave orders that the liberty of the
carriers should not,be interfered with;
and he added that he would be happy to
have the men wear all the CO ors of the
rainbow, if it would only help to keep
them from the drink.
HERE is WHAT the Daily Telegraph,
one of the most influential ofithe on
don dai les. thinks of the Temperance
wave in Great Bri ain: ''OIficial Stats
tics 90 far to, confirm the triumphant
claim of total abstaners that the con-
sumption of strong drink is falling off
a. rate not distasteful to philanthro-
pists, but suggesting grave rehec ions
to a Chancellor of the Exchequer."
ACCORDING TO THE REPORT of the
United States Consul at Rochelle. French
brandy within the last three years has
ceased to be brandy, being for the most.
part alcohol of grain, potatoes or beets.
The proprietors of the vineyards them
selves have become SO clever in its fab
ricat ON that it is almost impossible
even for honest merchants to buy q
pure cognac when they wish to do so.
When the bottle is invoiced or labelled
1919 or 1856, it only means that the ar
ticle has been made to resemble the,
brandy of that year. The alcohol whichl
has taken the place of the genuine
spirit of the grape is described as a
most pernici0us liquor, prod cling an
intoxication which inclnes the patient
to rage and physical violence, while the,
prolonged use of it leads to insanity.

All were pleased to see a good house
to hear George @. Min last evening.
The performance was frst-class and
deserved it.
We feel that Mr.. Minis Hamlet was
a surprise to most Of his hearers. He
has been on the stage 80 short a time,
and coming, as he did, from the pulpit,
one would naturally expect something
crude. His Interpretation of Hamlet
has all the intellectually of a scholar
and a man of culture, and the finish of
an actor long on the stage. 1t is not
merely an Evolutionary effort. There
are, Of course, imperfections that long
er acquaintance with the stage will
overcome, but Mr.. Min is a hard stu
dent, andIhas accomplished in a very
short time what many an actor has
failed to reach in q lifetime. Mr.. Min
is a better actor than he was a year
ago. One year from now he will be-
better than he is to-day. One can see
that he is a man who must advance
constantly, and one who is ever at
work for this end.-Lawrence Journal.

Thursday evening a gentleman ar
rived in Cheyenne who represented him
self to be the champion light weight
pugilist of Colorado, and expressed a
desire to become acquainted with Wyo-
ming's champion. After wandering
around for some time he had the good
luck to come in contact with Cheyenne,s
pride, who readily accepted a challenge
to don the gloves. For the first two
POUNDS Colorado seemed to hold the
"high hand" but at last Wyoming
warmed up to work and sent Colorado
Ito grass' in short order. The afore-
said Colorado champion, etc., soon be-
came convinced that he he had lost his
bearing and concluded he had better
seek a champion in some other climate
where ''chin music" would stand a bet
tel show. If Colorado has any more
champion eight weights" she had bet
ter see that they dou't wander in the
direction of Cheyenne.

Hopkins and Wightman's horses, al
ready announced, a match has been
made between John Chase's sorrel
mare Lady" formerly known as
"Lizzie," and ]. W. Page's black
gelding "Teaser," for $500 a side, half
mile heats, best three in five. 1t is
claimed by both parties that this race
is "for BLOOD" and will be trotted on
the dead level. "Teaser" has made
the best time ever accomplished on the
local'track, 2:35, and has a record of
2:29. 1t is claimed by some that the
mare has a better record, but the
knowing ones seem divided in opinion
as to the winner. 1t is hardly likely
that better than 1:20 will be made,
even if that is ~equalled, although the
track is in exceptionally good shape, in

soil will permit.

stockmens' Convention mt Chicago.
The national convention of stock
men, called to take action to stamp out
the contagious disease among live
stock, re-assembled in Chicago yester-
day morning, Senator Williams, of
Kentucky, presiding. Two hundred
delegates being present, the committee
appointed to outline the plan Of action
submitted q series of resolutions.
which after being variously amended
read as fellows:
WHEREAS, The existence of contag-
ious pleuro pneumonia In certain por-
tions OF the states on the Atlantic sea-
board introduced from time to time by
the importation Of stock from foreign
countries, constantly threatens to
spread contagion among the southern
and western states and territories.
That disease Of such a character that
legislation can only give partial relief
and that prompt and appropriate legis-
lation on the part of congress to eradl-
cate The disease In the infected districts
Is i~mperatively demanded. Should the
great ranges of the west become infect
ed with the disease 1t would be impos-
sible to stamp out the plague except by
: Q total destruction of herds at a cost
Of hundreds Of millions of dollars,
therefore be it
RESOLVED, That we urge upon the pro-
per authorities the imperative neces-
sity OF a thorough inspection OF all live
stock and meat products shipped to
foreign countries.
The convention also endorsed the &C.
ton of the secretary of the treasury In
enforcing quarantine against all i'm.
ported cattle and decided to petition
congress TO confer the authority on the
treasury department by which quaran-
tine could be extended SO as to cover
sheep, swine and goats.
The convention decided to appoint a
committee Of one from each state.
which is to memorabilia congress and
show the loss and damage to America
by reason of foreign restrictions against
American meat productions, and sug-
gest sue legislation as may tend to re-
move this prejudice. The convention
is stated to have been the most repre-
sentative INT of stockmen ever held
in this country.
