Judge Blacks Bad Memory

The late Judge Jere Black was very care

lated by one of his intimate friends that is
characteristic of the dead jurist During

a frequent visitor at the Department of JUS
tice. | was young then as lawyer. and
was very glad to have an opportunity
of listening to the conversation of so great a
lawyer as Judge Black. One morning man
entered and handed piece OF paper to the
Attorney General. Dear me. he said. run

man. The Judge reached forward for his
check book, but, not finding it at once, he
put his hands into his pocket and fumbled
around for some change. 'Ah, ha! what's
this2 he said, unfolding paper and
comparing it with the bill in front of
him You internal liar, he exclaimed ex-
ctedly jumping mp and seizing the man by
the collar. here is your own receipt for this
BILL dated only ten days ago. The man
performed a war dance around the office, the
Judge acting as chief instructor. His heels
frequently came in contact with his head.

MARY CHURCHILL,

Miss Churchill of st. Louis, has managed
TO obtain an amount OF gratuitous adver-
Using, which, under other circumstances
than those which surrounded her, might
have been turned to advantage; but in her
case we fail to see in what way it can help
her fortunes. We are told that the reason
why NJ IS Churchill abandoned her home
was that she was required to do too much
practicing on the piano; and we notice
further that certain papers treat the
whole subject with levity that
does them little credit. Putting it mildly,
in leaving her home Miss Churchill COM
mitted grave mistake and set most per-
nicious example. She is not prudent young
woman. If she is sane, and such she APP
pears TO be, her conduct can scarcely be crit
icised with too much severity. She created
anxieties which must have deepened into
agonies at her home. She was not dutiful
child. She is not entitled to sympathy.
That she did not fall and 80 to the bad, is far
more creditable TO society at large than TO
herself. Her course invited attacks from the
vicious. She deliberately placed herself be-
yond the protection OF those who were
bound by the holy ties of home
10 be her guardian. Fortunately she was
not taken sick fortunately, she fell into the
hands OF those who were governed by high
and honorable motives; fortunately, she met
DIR. Fletcher, a gentleman who had quick
ness of perceptions and purity OF intention.
He saved Mary Churchill. Its by no means
a matter for frivolity OF speech for a young
woman to run away" from home. 1t is not
good for boys. Once in while such episodes
pan out we'll for boys, but much more fire.
quently they are disastrous ventures. 1t so
happens, occasionally that homes are prison
pens, where mothers are the idolatrous votaries
of fashion, and fathers are heartless deyotees
OF Mammon, or something worse. In such
cases home has few or no attractions for
children, but, even under such circum.
stances, it is risky business to run away
from home. The press can we'll afford TO
discourage such ventures and give its inhu-
ence in the opposite direction. When young
women like Mary Churchill run away from
home and 60 to strange cities to seek their
fortunes, the press can well afford 70 exercise

MARY ANDERSON has mashed" young
and wealthy Englishman. He has had the
pretty fancy to pay court in the disguise of a

Senator Hendricks said to-day: "The po-

manent Democratic gain. In New York last
year the election was eccentric in certain

not likely to be repeated in another election,
but in Ohio the conditions were normal,

been exhibited in Iowa and is observable in

The Outlook for 1884.


The recent elections have cleared the sky
sufficiently to warrant few observations for
1884. They can rest only on probabilities at
the best. Moreover. it is peculiarly in the
power of the Democrats 10 fulfill Republican
predictions by acting so foolishly in the
States they control and in the coming session
of Congress as TO throw away their chances
for carrying the Federal election next year
The whole number of electoral votes is 40l,
OF which a majority is Dol The crushing
defeat OF Malone in Virginia raises strong
presumption that all the Southern States
will 90 Democratic next year. The unwill-
ingness OF considerable body of the colored
voters to any longer follow the lead of Re-
publicans who have so often deceived them
has a tendency to confirm this opinion.
The aggregate electoral votes of the sixteen
Southern States is 1853. This is 4S short of
