THURSDAY FRIDAY.

Two Philadelphia bellies went to
the beach at Long Branch early in
the morning, and went into bathe
without arraying themselves in
bathing suits. The TWO Ewes were
dispOrting themselves in the water
like mermaids when to their horror
they saw Il young man slowly ap-
preach, pick up their clothes from
the sands and walk away with
them. The young rascal is 10
gentleman, Had we happened
along as he did we would have set
down by the duds and carefully
guarded them from thieves until
the young ladies came out and
claimed them, Some men are toe
mean to lve.-Albuquerque De

Yes, and we'll wager that when
the girls came out of the wet, Car
lin would be so scared that before
he would let them possess them
selves of their duds, he would
make them hold up their hands,
and then run like Tam O'Shanter's
colt.

What Constitutes a Crank7

In the last issue OF the no
Grande Republican appeared a
well written communicates from
Silver City, where court was in
session. Among other things the
writer, after stating that Judge
Brinker was holding court for
Judge Henderson, said
Judge Henderson il east, either
in Arkansas OF in Washington, in
quiring the Why and tho where
lore of the delay in the matter OF
his confirmation by the senate. 1t
is generally believed here that the
Judge will not be confirmed. Then
what! VIII the pre- ident recon-
mission him, or will he commits
sion some other man No one
seems to know. | cannot say the
Judge IS popular here. There are
few regrets on the probability OF
our losing him from the bench.
There is no difference of opinion
here as to the ability and learning
and integrity, as judges generally
90. He is, however, a chronic
dispeptic and by nature hasty and
impetuous. Consequently, he Of
ten Judges hastily, and there is
hardly an attorney in the district
who has not been openly snubbed
by him. | am satisfied that the
Judge himself recognizes these in
hrmities and regrets his frequent
out bursts of temper.
Now, we think the writer photo
graphed Judge henderson wrong
ly, and suspicion that the author
Of the photograph is one of those
chaps who hesitated not to ma
lign Judge Wilson, hoping there
by to secure the position for him
self or Il friend. 1t did not occur
to Wilson's unscrupulous oppo-
nents, chat Cleveland would vio-
late tho obligations upon which he
was elected, and appoint a non
resident to the vacancy he would
make-but he did-and now there
are those who would like to see
Judge Henderson removed, in the
hope that his successor would be q
Silver City lawyer.
We have had a weeks acquain-
tance with Judge Henderson, du-
ring which time we saw much of
him Oh and OFF the bench. OFF he
was as suaye as the most genial
could wish tor-on, he was every
inch a judge, recognizing nething
but his sworn duty. Too long has
it been the custom here for law
yers to run our courts, nor has it
been intrequent Tor our Judges 10
ovcrrule themselves instead Of the
motions of lawyers. Wilson was
the first Judge with nerve enough
to reverse the rule, and Judge
Henderson assumes, and right
eously, the right to decide quos-
tons Of law, instead Of permitting
the gromdllngs to pass judiclal'y
upon them.
But it is in courts as out them
When a man approaches another
on business he expects 20 be treat
as though at home, at social
gathering, whereas, it is possibl C
that the mind is perturbod by care,
and perPfgXed with calculations,
involving much, and to shake such
mind conditions, and indulge in
namby-Pamby converse, would be
unnatural, however pleasing to the
indifferent visitor.

to continue upon the religious trail.

Pursuant to the doctrine laid
down, and the contradictory prac-
tice thereto, | have, IN the ex-
treme charity of seven spot man
hood, determined to supply few
grab soul sentences, and spirit
snatching phrases for the use of
hair pulling divines, who may feel
the necessity Of ringing in about
twenty por cent of hcll-tire, and
double distilled damnation in a
thirty per cent sermon.
If the cushion cutting streak of
salvation Tightening would berate
neighbor, the usual and every
day silence is commendable. But
to successfully traduce one who
may be absent, and whom all per
sons deem worthy, and respecta,
bic, it would be well to diveslfy.
" An excrescence from the pu-
trid womb of stenchant sin would
be a highly seasoned sentence, and
expressive of gall and worm-wood
enough to last an open winter.
If the man be deemed honest,
the driving drinker Of divinity may
causually refer to him as the &C
cident Of theft of vice, when vir-
tue scowled itself to sin. "
Should tho occasional sinner be
a tipler, who indulgcs in the in
toxicating rosy, and anon, be-
spiRkles his larynx with the am
Der hued lager, it might be well
to denmark him as, ga vice laden
whelp of the lowest he'll, injecting
the possibilities Of a proper man
hood with damnation, and sewing
seeds OF soul-warped conscience
that in the reaping torture yet re-
mains. "
But tho neaJest and most sue
cessfully complete Characterization
follows upon the heels of female
chastity. Ifthc curse of the beau
titul Beatrice by the ignoblc Conci
he not oducive of more applica-
lions than one, | submit the fol
lowing substitute tor mild refer
ence and charitable direction {:
that, "the license of modesty be
indicative of its i'll use, and wo-
mankind becomes the brute sex of
common humanity, trading upon
virtue as wee, and barter
ing chastity in the hell scorched
crucible Of damnation's mould,
p popping earth with demons and
hell with angels.
But that is mild il were better,
III the hands of a ministerial eX'
pert, and professional word hitter
to use more festive terms,
to wit : "the lowering plane Of
womanly virtue brlngs the awful
dread of damnations plague, and
drinks the dreg drippings Of the
hagers OF hell, until soul mate
rial doth curse the common God
and rot despite His power. "
Now that will do tar the aver
age shy at pulpit oratory, but the
spice needed by soul seeking sal.
walton is rather limited.
The newspaper man is subject
that o8ends soul scraper's valve
until exhaustion sets in and the
sand box needs filing.
