NO vINDICATION NEEDED.

Since the publication, in Bellevue
paper, a week ago last Saturday, of
an article charging our representatives
in the Legislature with bad faith in
procuring the passage of the bill au-
thorizing the building Of a court
house in this city, we have been re-
peatedly urged t. speak in defense Of
Councilman Wall and Repre- sentative
Wilson, but have invariably refused
as we could not see that their action
in this matter needed any apology or
defense. 1t speaks for itself
Under the existing state Of affairs
the taxpayers are paying very high
rent for very inferior accommodations
The records are in n very insecure
place, and any scoundrcl can, in one
night, destroy all evidences of title to
every piece of property in this county.
The District Court Clerk Office is in
one place, and the Court in another;
the assessors, Treasurer's and Re-
cOrder's are located at wide distances
from one another, and all persons
having business with these officials are
compelled to waste considerable time
in looking them up. Ii we had a
courthouse, the records would lee kept
secure and in a fire and burglar-rroof
vault, the officials, District Court and
Jail would all be together in one
building, where they could be found
easily and promptly, and, after paying
for the building, the taxpayers would
be relieved from the onerous burden
of rent. All these advantages the bill
which the Bellevue paper referred to
complains of is intended to secure to
the taxpayers. Can amy appropriated
taxpayer, after carefully thinking the
matter over, blame our representa-
tives for securing them?
Their action in this matter, there
fore, requires no vindication at our
hands.
But the course of the Bellevue pa
per is not be wondered at Its only
stock in trade,it only apparent mission,
from the start, has been to villifv
everything that was in the remotcst
degree calculated to benefit the town
of Haley. That, in pursuance OF this
policy, it should be led to oppose a
measure of great benefit to every
property owner in this county,, is quite
natural. That follows as a necessary
consequence. But that its utterances
should receive any degree of a,ten-
ton outside of its small circle of read
ers in its own town is matter for
surprise.

An Upright Judge.

A Judge full of caustic humor and
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 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. 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 spanish sailor was being
tried and the interpreter was particularly
unskillful, he exclaimed: '.Mr. Inter
prefer, tell the prisoner that he has got
Mr.-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-
oncr, the Baron continued: Nov Nj.
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 a growing deaf
ness, his physical and intellectual facul-
ties remained unimpaired until within
three days of his sdeath.-London TRUTH

The Fig.

The fig is a very singular fruit. Mir
bel called it "Sycowns," which means
in Greek fig garden. In its earliest
stages it is not very unlike some other
fruits. but in its development it under
goes strange modification. In its in
cipient state it is an aggregation of num-
berless flower buds, which in ordinary
course would be developed on long
branch; but the branch in the case of the
ffg, instead OF developing into woody
limb bearing flowers. grows up around
the multitude of flowers enclosing them
in conical receptacle and forms a sue
culent fruit, as we call it, inside of .
woody branch. The luscious fig that we
eat is not fruit at all, strictly speaking,
but succulent branch. Every seed in
tae fig was a separate. regular flower.
and the seeds are strictly the fruit. The
fig tree bears two or three crops in sea-
son. In the Southern States there are
generally two crops. one in May and one
in July and August. Figs are cul-
tivated in Turkey. Greece, South
ern France. Spain, Italy and North
Africa. 1t has been cultivated
from the most ancient times in the
East, and its fruit has been highly es-
teemed and made an ordinary articlo of
food in Southwestern Africa. The Oul-
tivation was transmitted from the East
to the Greeks and Romans, and through
them to all countries where the clim Ate
was favorable totheir growth. The figs,
when ripe. are dried in ovens, aud then
closely packed in chests, baskets or boxes
for transportation. Our best figs come
from Turkey. Those coming from Kala-
mafa. in Greece, are considered the most
luscious. Italy and Spain export large
quantities. In our Southern States figs
are mostly put up simply for preserves
for family use. In this State the time is
coming when they will be an important
article of commerce. Figs yield abun-
dainty and require but little care. The
fig contains large amount of sugar, and
may be manufactured into wine. alcohol
and vinegar. 1t is a most healthy fruit
when used in perfectly ripe state, and
it is a good anti-dyspeptic and the very
best fruit for dyspeptics to eat of freely.
Nothing is more luscious than the fully
ripe fig, taken and eaten directly from
the tree. Asyet in this State not enough
importance has been attached to this
fruit; but time will correct this matter,
and before many years the production
of the fig will be greatly increased in
California The Chronicle.
