JUDICIAL REFoRM.-The Boston
Advertiser in an article on reform in
judicial procedure reviews the work
that has been done in this direction in
New Hampshire during the past few
years, where the results have been
highly satisfactory. The first step
taken in New Hamshire to put an end
to prOtracted and costly litigation was
in 1876, when a constitutional amend
ment was passed providing that
where damages claimed were not over
500 and in which the title to real
estate was not involved, the cause
might be tried by q referee rather,
than by a jury. This change worked
well in economizing both the cost of
the State and the cost to the parties
and in expediting business, but it de-
veloped new source of expense in
the fees of the referees. To meet
this, it was enacted by the Legisla-
turC in 1881 that the judges should,
after disposing of the jury cases, pro-
coed to sit as referees and decide
cases submitted to them without a
jury. A tabulated statement of the
jury payroll and the referees ex-
penses, chargeable to the State, from
1876 down to the present year, shows
q gradual falling off from year to
year and q more marked decrease af-
ter the enactment Of 1881. For ex-
ample, the total amount of the jury
payroll and the referees expenses
ISI6-77 was $50, 1877; for ISS4-S5
it was $23. OSS.76, difference Of 81
per cent in favor Of the reform move
ment And besides this great lessen
ing Of expense there has been far less
delay in the trial aud final settlement
cases. Maryland and other States
need such . reform as much as did
New Hampshire. and should make
haste 10 profit by the example thus
set before them.

AN Tobacco Society, desiring
practical evidence OF the evil effects Of
tobacco, took into their service a
distinguished professor. This gen
tleman bad never used tobacco
10 any form, aud the agreement
was that be should take a good
smoke, get sick, and then describe his
horrible sensations 10 course Of lee
lures. In fuIlIment of this, the pro-
fessor smoked a pipe for half on hour,
but, singularly enough, instead Of get.
ting sick, awoke TO the fact that he
had discovered new source Of pleas
ure and, far from being utterly dis
gustcd, has continued to smoke ever
since, greatly TO the encouragement
of the society. They made bad Sc

A rnoMrnrNr MaryIand poIilicia

A PROMINENT Maryland politician,
who is on very friendly terms with
Attorney General Garland, says ex-
Representative Talbot, of Baltimore
county, will probably be appointed
United States district attorney at
Baltimore, instead OF solicitor of in
ternal revenue. We hope that some
thing will soon be definitely determ-
incd upon in the ex-Congressman IS
case. He is about the hungryest
looking man we ever saw.

A CONTEMPORARY informs us that
"the ladies in Russia are very anx-
ious to marry, because they have no
liberty before marriage. They are
kept constantly under the paternal
eye until given up to their husbands
and then they take their own course.
Almost as soon as girl is born in
the better rank ofsociety, her parents
begin to prepare the dowry she must
have when she goes to her husband
She must furnish everything for an
outfit in life, even to a dozen new
shirts for her coming husband"
That last item about the dozen new
shirts is rather a good thing for the
husband. We guess he allows bis
stock to run low Just before marriage.

before the next season to accommodate
the increasing demands for accommoda

with the severe prevailing drouth have
cut the yield down more than half as

Curt of Appeals has Gually signed
its death warrant and the fatal auc-
tionecr's hammer will soon fall upon
the aged head. Who will become its
new owner? is anxiously asked 10y its
old friends. The Baltimore aud Ohio
cannot place high value upon it, be-
cause she can build for less than two
hundred thousand dollars, road
shorter by one-balf than the route
of the A. e. + With a short route
owned by the b. Il o., the Baltimore
and Potomac will not be justified in
paying one-half its value, as our lit
tie city will hardly support two rail
roads especially if one is u third
longer than the other.
A movement has been on foot for
some time to induce capitalists to
come forward, buy up the A. & e.
and extend it to Hagerstown and f.
nally to Cumberland, connecting it
with the great chain OF northern and
western roads. This we should like
to see. The A. & +. extended to the
coal fields. with elevatsrs at its
terminus here, would be valuable
and stock; we hope that capitalists
may be found when the day of sale is
made known, to come forward and re-
scue the road from destruction.
