David J. Brewer, of Kansas, has been
appointed Judge of the eighth Judicial
district in place of Judge McCrary. In
commenting upon this appointment a
correspondent says:
The president has himself answered
the charge that he is using the patronage
Of his Office to secure his denomination,
and that in an emphatic manner. He
had two prominent offices at his disposal,
one life position worth $4,000 year.
and the other place that pays we'll and
is sought after by ambitious lawyers.
There were plenty of candidates with
political influence from states where be
might have secured some strength. but
he gave both appointments to states
from which he cannot expect 10 receive O
single vote. The judgeship was sought
by Iowa, Minnesota and Colorado. In
each of these states there was an oppor.
tunity to strengthen himself but he gave
it to Kansas, which was overwhelmingly
for Blaine. The solicitorship of the
treasury was sought by three of the
southern states, which he had been &C.
cused of trying to capture. bnt he gave
it to Michigan. where Blaine is about as
strong as he is in Kansas.

Gen. Stanley nomination as brigadlcr
general of the army in the place of Mac.
kenzie. retired, was made out at the war
department last Tuesday and sent to the
senate. He was recommended by many
friends, including those who fought by
bis side during the late war, and are now
in private life; but the Endorsement of
Gen. Sheridan is what secured his pro-
motion. Sheridan commended Stanley
very warmly for the advancement. and
the president is ready to accept what
Sheridan recommends. Gen. Hazen was
not consulted. and Stanley's promotion
makes life miserable for him. 1t was
Stanley who accused Hagen of cowardlce
at the battle of Shiloh in widely pub
lished letter, and it was Hazen who
charged Stanley with falsehood and con
duct unbecoming an officer in publishing
such an accusation. The court martial
found Stanley guilty Of conduct un.
becoming an officer, but they decided
that it was no falsehood to call Hazen a
coward. The other applicants for Mac.
kenzie's star were Gems. Absalom Baird,
Brockell, Grierson, Merritt, Wilcox,
Hatch. RuRer and OTIS Of the twentieth
infantry. Gen. Glbbon. who alone ont.
ranked Stanley on the list of the colonels
made no application. % he reai,zed that
it was useless; but the other officer,

Something Peculiar. L.

Peck's Sun, October 18th.
In order that there may be no decep.
tion practiced on the innocent reader, ,
we desire to say at the start that this
article is puff, SO nobody need read 1t
that does not want to read a puff,
though anybody who does not read 1t
will miss q good deal of valuable infOr-
nation. Last summer the editor of this
paper launched q steam yacht, fired 1t
up and run it few days. In the centre
of the boat was boiler full of the hot
test steam that ever was. The steam
heated the boiler and the boiler heated
the boat, and with the heat on the in
side, and the August sun on the out
side, the boat was II few degrees hotter
than hades ever could be without q
steam boiler. The boiler had an appe-
tite for coal that was truly wonderful,
and as it had to heat up all out doors as
well as the boat, it kept man shovel
ing coal all the time. But the heat was
something Intense. In the cabins the
guests would hang out the windows
and loll, and at meal time they would
stay in the cabin long enough to snatch
some eatable and 20 out on deck by q
piece of ice and eat and perspire. The
engine room was so hot that it was
necessary to put q blanket saturated
with ice water over ones head while
going through it. The engineer could
only remain in the engine room few
minutes at time. and then he would
go on deck and climb the flag staff. As
the boat went through the water 1t
would heat the river SO that farmers
along the bank complained that they
dug boiled potatoes from the hills
watered by the river. In passing another
boat the other boat would keep as far
away from the red .bo. yacht as possible,
and have Are extiDguishers In constant
use until they got by. 1t was awful.
One day IN agent proposed to put on
some boiler covering that would keep
the heat in the boiler. We hailed his
visit with delight, and when he said
the stuff his company pasted over q
boiler would save fuel, and keep the
heat where it belonged, he was told TO
60 ahead. One day the boat was laid
up to cool off, and the poultice was put
on. 1t was a sort of mocking bird
food, made of paper pulp, and other
Ingredients, but it did the business.
When it got dry the boiler never got
hot on the outside, and a person can

This morning the case of Thomas
Vandever, farmer charged with
obstructing the public street by stand.
Ing on King street 10 sell his produce
was heard before, the Judge. l.. O. Bird
ESQ. appeared by direction Of Attorney
General Gray for the property holder'
on King street, who wish to have th'
eurbstone market removed.
Previous TO taking mp the case
Harry Sharpley. ESQ.,, who appeared
for Mr. VAndever, said that his ellen
was willing toplead guilty to the charge
but did not feel like going to the ex
pense OF employing an attorney to
defend the rights of others TO stand In
the market. Mr.. Bird said that thii
suit was brought merely to test tht
legality of the street markets, and
not that they had anything against Mr.
lVandever.
In fact. for the purpose Of having
the case brought up on a preliminary
hearing he would agree to pay what
ever costs there might be made against
Mr.. Vandever, outside Of attorney fees.
Mr.. sharpley said that as far as hit
client WAS concerned he did not care
whether there was street market ol
not, but hes.did not propose to stand the
expense Of defending the right OF the
city to establish market.
The case was then taken up for pre-
liminary hearing, and officer Osborne
testified that he arrested Mr.. Vande'
yer on warrant charging him with
obstructing the public streets. Nc
further evidence was heard, and the
defendant was held ON his own recog
njzance for trial before the Municipa
Court next Wednesday, when the cas'
will be fully argued.
Mr. Bird said that when the case cam'
up for argument, he would submit thu
following propositions That Council
/ has no right to take private property
| for public use that Council has M
power to authorize any one to obstruc
the public highways."
An informal dicussion ensued be
tween City Solicitor Turner and Mr.
Sharpley, caused by remark OF thu
former that he did not think that he, al
City Solicitor, had any interest in the
MIN to defend the case.
Mr.. Sharpley reminded him that as
the markets were established and gov
erned by ordinances enacted by CITY
Council, he as the legal officer Of thu
city was bound to defend them
Mr.. Turner thought that i
would be we'll for all who feel interest
ed in preventing the abolishment Of tn
street market to contribute whateve
they felt like giving and employ coun
sci to defend their right to stand on tn
l street.
