Passed Sentence on Themselves.

That policeman ought to arrest him
self and take himself to the station-house,'
said a gentleman from Missouri, as he
sprang backward to avoid a lurching blue
coat who was taking up the entire sidewalk
idea of mans arresting himself" he con-
tinued, when he and his companion had
watched the conyivial policeman disap-
pear around the corner, but Eve known
of Judges trying themselves often out
West. Down in Southern Missouri, where
| come from, we had Judge few years
ago who divorced himself 1t happened
at Lalla, Mo His wife was getting lit
tie old and faded, and the Judge wanted
younger companion. He made life very
uncomfortable for her and she went to pay
a visit to a sister. The Judge Immediately
took advantage of her absence and filed
petition in his own Court charging his wife
with desertion. The case came up in about
a month afterward, and he announced his
intention of trying the case himself. His
wife, for some reason, did not contest, and
the Judge granted himself an absolute
divorce.
"Soon after the war Judge Wilson, of
Shannon county, killed man in quarrel
over a horse. At the Judges request he
was indicted for murder in the first degree.
The case was Immediately called for trial.
Wilson announced he would sit upon the
case himself, which he did. If anything,
all his rulings were against his own inter
est, and he acted very fairly all through
the trial The evidence all went to show
that he had committed the deed in self-de-
Tense, and he was acquitted.
There was another queer old Judge
named Armstrong. He was very large
man, with very high opinion of himself,
but he knew very little law. He made a
ruling one day which the prosecuting at
torney disagreed with and heated argu-
ment ensued between the two,
"There is no such decision as that iusti-
fed by law, and Judge who has grain
Of legal learning would not give such a
ruling" said the attorney.
- You little shyster," roored the Judge,
I" for cent | would throw this law book
at you head"
q If you did YOU would throw away more
law than You ever had in your head, re-
torted the attorney.
This was more than the Judge could
stand, and he got down from the bench
and wiped the floor with the attorney.
Then he climbed back on the bench and
said:
I" Mr.. Clerk, please enter a fine against
me for 500" and he paid it on the spot

AIL-RAIL ROUTE FROM ENGLAND TO
INDIA.-A project for establishing yir
tually all-rail route from London, England,
to Bombay, India, is published. The pro-
posed route is via Tangier, through Mo
rocco, where it would make a junction
with the Algerian lines, afterwards con-
tinuing by Tunis and Tripoli to Cairo.
Thence the line would continue along the
Euphrates valley and the shores of the
Persian gulf to kurrachee, the extreme
westerly point of the Indian railway sys
TEN. The cost would be about 100000
900. Quick trains, three of which would
be run weekly each way, would cover the
distance between London and Bombay in
nine days; while slower trains starting
daily would take day or two longer. The
only breaks in this extremely elongated
line would be the English channel and
the straits of Gibraltar Railroad Jour
nal.

WORKERS AND SLEEP. The
value of sleep to brain-workers cannot be
exaggerated In recent lecture DIR.
Malins, famous English physician, said
that the brain requires twelve hours Of
sleep at 4 years old, gradually diminishing
by hours and half-hours to ten hours at
II, and thence to eight hours when the
body is full grown and formed. Goethe,
in his most active productive period,
needed nine hours, and took them Kant
the most laborious Of students-was
strict in never taking less than seven. Nor
does it appear that those who have sys-
temeticallv tried TO cheat nature Of this
chief right have been in any sense gain
ers of time for their work. 1t may be a
paradox, but is not the less a truth, that
what is given to sleep is gained to labor.

PIG-HEADED PHILosoPHY-i society
in England, known as the christian
Philosophical Institute" has recently is
sued a circular and tract denouncing the
Newtonian theory as "the most stipend
Gus and most pernicious lie that ever came
from the bottomless pit, without one redeem
ing discovery to mitigate the intensity of the
fraud ~ The writer also declares that the
geologist who demands long periods of
time between the first and second verses of
the first chapter of Genesis is guilty of the
grossest impiety. The roundness Of the
earth and its revolution on its axis are
also fiercely combated. The Rev. John
Jasper, of Virginia, with his de sun do
move" should be made President Of this
highly scientific association.

men usually who pay the closest
attention to the details of their business,
who act as if they were trying to
work for their employers interests instead
Of to beat him at every crook and turn.
They are the men who give the closest at
tention to every practical detail, and who
look continually to see whether they can do
any better or not This class of men are
never out of a job. They are scarce. They
never strike, they never loaf, and they do
not ask for their pay two or three weeks
before payday"

THE MN VINO ARE PRoMoTED.-The
Manufacturer Gazette, in recent editorial,
made the following statements regarding
young men and their advancement, which
others than the class to whom it is ad-
dressed will do we'll to heed: The
young men who receive promo
ton are the men who do not drink
on the sly. They are the men who are
at the front whenever there is astrike, nor
are they the men whe watch for the clock

EFFECTIVE FILTERs.-Two important
filters are described in the Journal de
Phaymacie et Chemie. The Chamberlain
filter consists of porous cylinder of
ground porcelain burned to such heat
that it is capable of transmitting liquids,
but not solids. 1t is used in Pas
tours laboratory for separating mi
crobia from their culture liquids. Pasteur
has found that on filtering with it the
most impure waters the germs Of microbia
cannot pass through it. In the Maigren
filter the acting medium is mixture of
powdered hydrate of lime aud of bone
black. This apparatus is said TO be eapa-
BILE of removing not merely suspended but
dissolved impurities.

AUTUMN LEAvEs.-Taking all the facts
into consideration, it appears clear to III.
C. Sorby that all the bright and beautiful
tints of leaves in autumn are merely the
earlier stages of decomposition, and are
due to the more or less considerable tri-
umph of chemical forces over the weak
ened or destroyed vitality of the living
plant He adds that one cannot but feel
that this is a very unpoetical way in which
tdHgard the magnificent tints of a fine
autumnal landscape, but it is not less true
than that the colored clouds of evening
mark the departing day.

Night In An Open tlsoAt In bitterly Cold
Weather. Rescued ny = fasSing Schooner
PHILADELPHIA. Pa. December y.
The crew Of the brigantine Belle, OF
Windsor, was brought into the Delaware
breakwatcr yesterday, having been picked
up at sea carly on Saturday morning by
the schooner David Garrison. The
brigantinc had burned at sea on Friday,
eighty miles OF Cape Ilenclopen, and the
crew had been at sea Ia an open boat
during the bitter cold Of Friday night.
The vessel cleared from Glacc Bay,
N. s., on November 27th, with
cargo Of bituminous coal. Bad weather
was encountered at the ousct,
and unfayorable winds drove the brigan-
tine from her course. After voyage OF
nearly three weeks New York pilot was
taken on board, but the vessel was still
long distance off Sandy Hook. Adverse
winds set In and once more the crew
found themselves at the mercy OF the
tempest. Constant labor had nearly
worn the sailors out, and when the cold
weather OF last week set IN they were
long distance out at sea from Cape
Henelopen. On Friday last smoke
was seen issuing from the hold, and
II was found that the cargo Of
bituminous coal had ignited from spon-
tancous combustion aud the flames had
gained such neadway that lighting them
was hopeless. Orders were at once
given for the matches 10 be fastened
down, and endeayors were made TO
smother the frc till land could be
reached, but the fire gained such head
way that the crew were obliged TO
abandon the vessel and take 70 the small
boats. The Captain was accompanied
by mis- wife, live scamen and the pilot,
George Il. Houron, aud when Friday
night set in, the ccldest night known
for wears on the Atlantic coast
was experienced. The men were unable
TO guide the small craft. and through the
long hours OF the night they driftcd about
bcnumbcd, and expecting death with
every monster wave that rolled over them.
On Saturday morning the schooner David
GARRISON, from Boston, saw the signals
OF distress which they had raised,
aud rescued them. The Clarkson
was towed into the brcakwatcr
yesterday by the revenue cutter
Hamilton, which was on her winter cruise.
Medical attendance was at once given the
sufferers, and IL was found that three Of
rhe crew were badly frost-bitten and the
rest suffering terribly from the effects OF
the bitter cold. The Belle was built at
Newport, N. s., in 1874, by j. III. Howry
Co., her present owners, and was Of
4s0 tons burden.
