COURT AFFAIRS RATHER MIXED.
A San Francisco Judge Receivers from
Temporary Insanity and Claims Office.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Sept. 11.-There is
a middle in the affairs of the superior
Court here. Judge Clough resigned his
office some time ago while insane. Gov.
Stevenson appointed Walter Levy judge
of the Superior Court. Judge ClOugh has
now recovered his reason, and claims his
office on the ground that his act of re-
signation is not valid because of his having
been insane when he resigned. a number
of decisions were rendered by Walter Levy
while acting Judge, which, as he never
really was judge because no vacancy eX-
listed when he was appointed, may be set
aside, if not unanimously concurred i'll by
the lawyers interested.

"The Best Answer TO Blasphemers
was Lne tide of Mr. Jumps evening ser
mon. The text was in Prov. XVI 10
"Answer not fool according to his folly,
lest thou also be like him. Answer fool
according to his folly, lest he be wise in
his own couceit" The first means that
he who answers must not initiate the fool
by descending to buIfoonery, sOphiStry
and .scurrility. The second means that
the errors of the fool must be answered
by corresponding truths. But there are
several ways of answering blasphemers,
and one way is by keeping away from
their halls, where religion and the most
sacred things of life are satiri2ed. The
second answer is found in the fact that
their calling is Il purely mercenary one.
They make no self sacrifices. According
to them, religion is Il demon of murder,
persecution, etc, but they forget that
the first murderer, Cain, was IL free
thinker. \ clinching answer comes in
the blasphCmer's dying hour. To
crack a joke on sacred subjects on pub
lie platform, is an easy thing, but it is
another matter to take it to II dying bed.
This is the Rubicon before which the
blasphemer inevitably trembles. In clos
ing, Mr.. Jump likened lngersoll's futile
attempts to overthrow Christianity to the
efforts of Il bat to destroy Il tower that had

Water supply.

It is "A well known fact that the adj
vantuges of this country as II range for
stock has been increased perceptibly
in one way 10y the introduction of the
said stock. The water supply has as-
sumed much larger proportions than
IL possessed before this country was
utilized ia the way it Is now. There
are many creeks in this country
which four or five years ago were nl-
most entirely dry excepting during
that period Immediately following the
melting Of the snow in the hills, and
these creeks now are nearly all run
ming streams, or at least routnin large
holes of ofstauding water. For instance
Cash creek, which empties into Big
Powder, and also the Mizpah, are two
sufficiently well known illustrations.
Both these streams are now looked
upon as excellent watering places, at-
fording an ample supply of water for
stock at any season of the year, and
before the introduction of stock into
the vicinity of these streams they
usually were dry channels for the
largest part Of the year. This change
is due largely To the effect of the cat
tie trampling down the beds of the
streams, thus rendering them firm
and preventing the water from filter
ing away. Consequently large holes
If water can be found in spots which
on account OF the loose nature OF the
soil were usually completely dry. Be
sides this one advantage due 10 the
habits of stock there is still another,
which is that after having assisted
materially in keeping up the water
supply, they have 10y constant visits
to these watering holes cut good
watering places aud a man can now
find plenty of opportunities for water
ing large bunch of stock conven-
iently where formerly he would
hardly have been able TO reach the
water himself on foot. There is one
animal nature to our streams in Mon
taua from which stock derive much
benefit. and which ought consequently
to be considered rather with a view
TO perpetuating the species than for
the destruction for their pelt. or

up the creeks in various place pre-
vent the water from flowing off and
retain large holes Of water which In
their absence would probably have
gone almost dry, or in any case would
have been much smaller.
