THE FOX-HUNTING JUDGE.
How He Fooled a Batch of Prisoners
and Had His Sport.
From the Farmers Voice.

From the Farmers Voice.
Rather good story used to be told by JUS
tice Porter, well known legal bonvivant of
Dublin. 1t concerns a rare old Irish Judge on
the Northwest Circuit, who loved the hunting
field more than he did the stupid, sleepy court
9oom His clerk was like minded, and a Joyous
pair they made.
One fine morning the clerk whispered to the
Judge:
Yer honor, old Billy Duane's meets to dav
at Ballykillmulligan, an they've a fine dog
fox"
"How many's in the docky" asked the Judge.
excitedly.
Twenty, for rioting and breach of promise,

Tom, said the Judge, do you think you
can get the first fellow to plead guilty without
a jury trial, and me to let him off with week
in jail ?"
the faithful clerk.
Make haste, then, and bring the whole gang;
and, say, Tom, tell Jerry to saddle the mare
meanwhile"
The twenty Fenians were brought into court
"a defiant gang, nineteen of them prepared to
fight with counsel and jury to the bitter end.
The twentieth had been interviewed by the
clerk. He called.
Guilty or not guilty of the crime charged ?"
demanded the Judge, with propitious smile
Guilty, yer honor said the crafty prisoner
We'll, said the Judge, glancng benevolently
about the room, Il fancy can let you off with
a week.
The man thanked the Judge and stepped down
to the bailiff. There was terrific sensation
among the other defendants. Why, none of
them expected to get off with less than five wears
in limbo Here was chance to profit by his
honors' pleasant mood. One and all mani
tested an earnest desire to follow the example
of their comrade and acknowledge the crimes in

ingalls, Mistake.

The speech which Senator Ingalls, deliv-
cred in the Senate last week was clearly
intended as a bid for the Presidential
nomination of his party. 1t wasn't speech
made on the spur of the moment. If reports
are to be credited, it had been in the course
of preparation for months, and, therefore,
it is reasonable to suppose that every part
of it had been carefully considered.
For the purpose for VIII ich it was intended
it was failure. 1t was stupid, ill-tempered
and in exceedingly bad taste. His attack
upon the President was not only disrespect-
full, but brutal, and his attempt to blacken
the memories of Gems. Hancock and Nc.
Clellan was so outrageous as to call out
protests from members of the Grand ARMY
of the Republic-the very men whose good
will his speech was intended to secure.
If he has received any letters from Grand
Army men, thanking him for that speech
the public has not heard of it, but Senator
Blackburn, who SO successfully and elo-
quently replied to him, has received a good
many such letters, and if he is given a
proper opportunity he will read them to the
Senate.
The Kansas Senator has been praised so
much for his ability, and his bitter and sar-
castle way of handling political subjects
and political opponents has been so general
ly applauded by his Republican friends that
he had begun to believe that he could saw.
with impunity, pretty much what he
pleased. In his speech last week, however,
he overshot the mark, and his poisoned
shafts made wounds where he did not in
tend to make them. They are wounds
which will not quickly heal, and if he at
tempts to push himself into prominence
as a Presidential candidate he will find that
they have.made him enemies where he most
needs friends
1t is rather remarkable that those who
did the least fighting during the civil war
are now tie ones who appear the most anx-
ious to stir up strife. Senator Ingalls, is
much more anxious to fight now than he
was quarter of century ago. When
there was fighting to be done he kept at
safe distance from the field of battle, but
now when there are no signs of war he is
not even afraid 10 attack the regulations of
dead soldiers whose fame will live as long
as there is history to record it and marble

Too Much Circumlocution

just before the last Congress adjourned
the Senate appointed a committee to in
quire into the methods of transacting public
business in the departments at Washington.
Senator Coclirell. of Missouri, was made
chairman of it, and he spent large portion
of last summer in getting the information
the Senate desired. A day or two ago he
submitted the committees report
The report is a rather interesting one. Ii
ought to be generally printed, in order that
it may be seen why 1t is that so many peo-
pie are required TO do the routine work of
the departments. The impression it makes
is that the purpose is not to transact the
public business promptly and intelligently
but to provide employment for place
hunters. There is circumlocution every
where In fact, there is so much of it that
a thorOugh-going, practical business man,
if brought into contact with it. would be
driven crazy The writing of single letter
of minor importance requires three or four
persons, and in some instances doubtless costs
ten times as much as it ought The chief of
bureau probably dictates it to a clerk
who writes it out. Then a typewriter
copies IL. Inc duJuOr Juen COflectS IL, and
it is copied again. Another clerk copies it
into big record book, and still another
folds and directs it. A few letters of this
sort occupy about a days time of three or
four people. They all work in leisurely
sort of a way, because, if they should hurry,
they would have nothing to do half of their
time.
There are about IA 900 employees in the
departments in Washington, and it is safe
TO say that onehalf Of them could do all the
work that is TO be done, and do it better
than it is done now, if common sense
method of doing business were adopted.
The cost of the circumlocutiou method is
enormous, and besides, it retards public
business. The work is doubtless done very
well, but it could be done just as well, and
much more satisfactorily and cheaply, if
the red-tape and circumlocutlon way of
doing it were abolished. Senator Cockrell
is on the trail of a big abuse which ought to
be remedied at once.

Lovers Lane.
From the Ne,r York Ledo,

From the NetC York Ledger.
In lovers lane the roses bloom,
The violets yield their sweet perfume,
The birds are there in happy throngs
And fill the air with sweetest songs.
The sunbeams and the moonbeams, too.
Their gold and silver scatter through,
And fairy visions are unfurled
AS nowhere else In all the world
In lovers lane tits not the style
To march along in single file,
But in close order, it is true
You'll find them walking two by two.
With quiet step, with voice subdued,
Almost in reverential mood,
The gentle northumberland swain
Pursue their way through lovers lane.
Here, hand ia hand, and heart to heart,
How late they linger 10th to party
And were the exit further set,
They'd wish the lane was longer vet;
And though sequestered hooks are found
By seeking souls the whole world round.
o, not another can coutain
Such wealth Of sweets as lovers lane!
What raptured melodies begin
When lovers lane we enter in
How bright life's prospects and how fair
The world TO those who wander there!
And, oh, what pleasure to retrace
Our steps through this enchanted place.
And fancy we are young again
And on our way through lovers lanel
