EX.JUDaR TURNER.

He Dies By His Own Hard II San Fran.
eisee-One Of tho Yarns Told On Him
By OLD Comstockers.
A telegram announces the death
by suicide in San Francisco of ex.
United States District Judge George
Turner, Of Virginia, who was after.
ward Chief Justice of Nevada in the
early sixties. While the deceased
was held by some to be an upright
Judge, Others wers not few who en-.
tertained an entirely different opinion,
and tho following anecdote, which
used to be told of him, will indicate
this opinion: An important case, in.
volving = very valuable Comstock
mine, came before the Supreme Court
ia Carson for final adjudication. It
was in the flush times on the great
lode, and hundreds of thousands Of
dollars were spent by the parties t.
each side, in suborning witnesses,
feeling lawyers, corrupting juries, and
even the bench. The decision was
drawn up but had not been rendered.
The Chief Justice was met on the
street by one Of the parties litigant.
81 understand" said this party,
"that you have drawn up a decision
awarding the mine to my opponents?''
81 have" replied the Chief Justice.
"Didn't you get $4,000 in gold
coin to decide in my favorP"
"Yes, but the law is with the other
side, who gave me $25.OOO."
swell, here's 100000 more. Now,
you 60 back and recall that decision,
or, by ---, I'll kill you on sight"
The decision was favorable to the
last quoted speaker.
The above is only one Of the stories
told on Judge Turner; and it may DO
that it does him a grievous injustice
But it used to be told for a fact.

Proposed New COunty.-At meeting
held in Laurel, Md, last week, prelimi-
nary organization was effected to urge the
project of forming new county out of por-
tions of Prince Georges, Anne Arundel,
Howard and Montgomery. A similar pro
ject failed ten years ago, owing to the op-
position Of Baltimore county, which OBJ.
jected to giving any territory TO compensate
Howard. 1t is now proposed to annex to
Howard portion OF Carroll county. Laurel,
now in Prince Georges, is suggested as rTe
county seat.
The following is the line of the proposed
new county: Beginning at the northeast
line of the District Of Columbia, extending
along the line of the Baltimore and Potomac
Railroad, to the Patapsco at Switzer's Bridge,
thence to the Viaduct Bridge at Relay Sta
ton, thence along the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad to Hanover, thence west by the
public road to the old Columbia turnpike TO
Silver Springs and via the 7th street road to
the District Of Columbia.

Taffy.-A correspondent asks "What is
taffy?" Is it possible that there is person
living who doesn't know what taffy is !?
When politician wants office, he takes the
stump and tells the people how intelligent
they are, and how proud he will be to repre-
sent such an enlightened constituency on
the floor of Congress. That is taffy. When
lecturer winds up a tedious discourse with
an extravagant puff of town and its peo-
pie, assuring them that he has rarely ad-
dressed an assembly, on whose countenance
intelligence had so indelibly set its mark i,
and that it will be the proudest day of his
life when he can return and again appear
before them, it is taffy that he is giving
them. When an editor heads an article
ITO our friends and patrons" you may be
sure that taffy will flow as rapidly as pen
can travel. But when we say that the
Davis Sewing Machine leads all others in
point of simplicity that is fact. When we
say this machine is the lightest running,
that is fact When we say that no other
machine can do one-har the variety of work
without basting, that, also, is fact.

The Russellville Democrat., 1885-05-28

Here are the pretty words of the President to delegation of temper ance workers who called on him re gently. The President has good side on almost every angle you touch him:
 WASHINGTON, May 17.-Several days ago delegation of Good Tenn plars of the District of Columbia called on the president and left with him. written address urging him to make diligent inquiry into the per sonal habits and associations of the persons he should appoint to offices Tn the District, and to see to it that the statutes enacted for 5he govern melt of the District, especially those relating to the regulation of the liq- uor traffic and the suppression of in temperance, are properly enforced.
 The President has communicated his reply to Dr. Worrell, chairman of the delegation, and this reply was reported to mass meeting of Good Templars here to day. In reply to the address, the President said
 "I read your address late last night with great interest. It is something tangible, and if all men would come to me as you have my labor would be greatly lessened. The temperance people are good people and friends of law and order. Before leaving New York 1 determined to give the District good government, but there are so many conflicting claims that 1 am sometimes at a loss to know what to do, but you come with clear statements. of which l will take further notice"

Correspondence of the Democrat,
 Please give space in the DEMO GRAF to few lines from this place.
 The farmers are making rapid progress in the way of we'll doing.
 The cut worms have destroyed a great deal of.cotton and caused to be planted over, and the cold weath- CT caused the corn to look yellow and grow spindling but the warm days and refreshing showers have changed it's features.
 The health of the surrounding country is good, and everything lively as May rose. The school at this place will close the twenty ninth ofthis month; it is in good running order under the skiIlfull manage ment of Prof. H. L. Ray burn, he is a good instructor and starts the young minds in the right direction.
 There are two dry good, one gro. cery, two drug and millinery stores in this place, and any one wanting to live in a healthy, thriving communi- ty, this is the place. There are three churches here and a good country to live In.
 The A. R. F. church held com munion here last Sabbath and had a crowded house, but as the weather was favorable after cloudy morn Ing, all went smoothly and nice until noon, when the good ladies spread the most delicious dinner on the ground, which was consumed to the delight of all until all was satisfied, and then the fragments was taken up in baskets as of old. Sabbath after the services was over, some of the young men spread smiles on their faces and walked off with tender and delicate expressions on their minds. A. H. B. said, '.how did my girl look' and J. T. P. said, ''I came very near fainting" and he wanted some thing to quiet his nerves, when Miss Maggie started for home and gave him that bunch of flowers and strip of paper with don't know what was on it.

proposed by her enemy, to meet Eng land on the very terms she had hith. erto spurned. Our sympathy goes out for Mi. Gladstone on account Of the broad, liberal, christian, civilized grounds of his policy with Russia. As 1t now stands, If war comes, England will certainly have the sym pathy of the whole civilized world, while her enemy can claim credit for nothing but bluff and bravado. The case Tn it's present attitude develops the difference between the methods of christian, civilized nation, and one of semi barbarian instincts and habits. If the war does come, mark it well, the Russian bear will rue the day when he provoked the wrath of the British lion.
The Russellville Democrat., 1885-05-28

OUR exchanges seem to be of the opinion that England humilated
 her self in the purchase of peace
 with Russia, by the methods she em ployed. We are not prepared to say that this verdict is in keeping with the facts Tn the case, so much as with what appears to be the popular cur
 rent of prejudice. The worlds yer dict upon such question is apt to be much the same as that upon a duel. Common refinement condemns the code, but popular prejudice con. demns the person who evades it as a source of satisfaction. It is not diff iicult, however, to say in such case where an intelligent and christian. ized opinion would lie. The enllght- ened, christianized public opinion of to-day is against war as past time or for the sake of agrandizement or for any other than just cause. Ma tions like men, surrender their title to respect when they consent to en
 ter the ring as mere bullies merely to feed ambitions flame and purchase distinction and fame for no better reason than that they feel them selves able. England acting on the better side of our modern clvlliza- ton, employed methods first to avert war, if that could be, and second to wage it when it was necessary, and not before. It will be remembered that Russia was aggressive, defiant and apparently eager up to the mo ment of Gadstone's great speech be fore the British parliament which brisLled with sentiments of stern re- solve. When these notes struck against the Russian bear, Rnssia's conduct changed, whether her mind did or not. She suddenly lost enough of her ferocity to listen to the terms
