How n Justice Wa. approached"

From the New York Tribune.
Justice Harlan tells story Of man
who came to his house one night, an en-
tire stranger, sent In his card, and when
the judge came down bluntly told him
that he proposed 10 make a fortune for
both himself and the Judge II the latter
would furnish him information about a
certain decision that was pending, and
was expected 10 affect stocks. The man
proposed to furnish the capital and do the
trading lie was willing, moreover, 10
divide the profits equally. The justice
was 80 completely taken back by the
mans cool impudcnce that he scarcely
knew what 10 say, but the humor Of the
situation struck him at once, and he asked
the caller II he would kindly stand up
under the chandelier where he could get a
good look nj his face. The stranger stood
the scrutiny without flinching. Then the
judge said:
"My friend, you have asked something
that is not only improper and impossible,
but your proposition ought 10 tempt me 10
kick YOU out OF my house. scarcely
know why do not feel In the mood 10 do
w. W. NV ilAiih Nhat Nou wv NNhlN VI
the Significance Of your proposition, and
therefore shall not treat this rs ! other
wise would. ! am not going 10 enter into
n speculation with you, as that would be
wrong but will tell you how you can get
the Information you seek before any one
else"
The mans face frightened up, when the
Justice continued:
ION the day when the opinion Is de.
livered-I cannot tell you when that will
become 90 the supreme courtroom and
take n scat on the front bench. Then, as
II Is real, the sound will reach your ears
first. Good evening"
And as the man with a somewhat crest
fallen micn turned toward the door, the
justice added with peculiar emphasis in
his voice:
"Wait a moment, sir; you should thank
me for not kicking you down Stain"
But the man With one bound hal nj.
ready cleared the hall and was tearing
down the street when the justice thought
fully returned 10 his study.

Speedily Cured by
Cuticura.

Our little son will be four years Of age on the 25th
inst In May, 1885, he was attacked with n very
painful breaking out Of the skin. We called in a
physician, who treated him for about four weeks.
The child received little good from the treat
ment, as the breaking out supposed by the physi-
clan TO he hives In an aggravated form, became
larger In blotches, and more and more distressing
We were frequently obliged to get up In the night
nnd-rub him with soda In water, strong liniments,
etc. Finally, we called other physicians until no
less than six had attempted 10 cure him. all alike
falling, and the child steadily getting worse and
worse, until about the Goth OF last July, when we
began 10 give him CUI1CURA REsoLvEST Internally,
and the CuTICuBA and CuTICURA SOAP externally,
and by the last OF August he was nearly well
that we gave him only one dose of the REsoivEsr
about every second day for about ten days longer,
and he has never been troubled since with the hor.
rible malady. In all we used less than onehalf OF
a bottle of the CuTIcURA REsoLvESr, little less
than one box of CUTIcuRA, and only one cake of
CUrICURA SOAR.

auInine aud the Opium IIabIt.

nun ihc lonnon liincA
Mr. John Ferguson, n well known resi-
dent Of Ccylon and newspaper proprietor,
has addressed a letter 10 the secretary Of
the Anti-Opium society on the value Of
sulphatc OF quinine, or even the inferior
alkaloids from cinchona bark, rs prophy-
Tactics aud tonics, especially in low-ly:ng
and malarial districts, where people are
addicted 10 the use OF opium in order 10
relieve the fever depression. The prcya-
lcnce Of the opium craving in many parts
OF the world IL due, says Mr.. Ferguson. 10
the people being subject 10 low type Of
fever This Is largely the case in China.
In England II has been shown that the
consumption Of opinion, chiefly In the
form Of laudanum, is very large in the fen
districts and along the lower banks VI the
Thames, especially about Graycscnd. A
Lincolnshire village druggist stated some
years ago, In letter published In the
newspapers, that he sold about two gallons
OF laudanum per month retail, besides
sixteen or twenty ounces Of opium itself,
mostly 90 women Of the poorer classes,
who must pinch themselves seriously
In many Why's 10 purchase the luxury.
Many, lac said, consume an ounce 81 opium
week, some considerably more. The
main cause Of this craving, according 10
Mr.. Ferguson, Is that the people live In
low aud malarial localities, and lac sug-
costs that quininc removes the craving
and acts as a substitute for laudanum.
lie quotes from Mr.. Colquhoun's travels
In China 10 show that the Chinese, even
Ia remote inland districts along the Can
ton river know the efficacy Of quinino in
supcrcding the need Of opium, and posi-
bly, In curing the taste and desire for Il.

The Convention.

The convention did not finish its work
yesterday as it expected to. The making
of a satisfactory Platforms a more difficult
undertaking than it was thought it would
be. The advocates of a high protective
tariff never fail to make the most of every
chance to force their views upon the coun-
try, and they are trying to mold the plat
form so that if it does not sustain the pres
emit high protective tariff it will contain no
positive declaration against it. The democ-
racy is in favor of tariff reduction, and
the convention will fail in its duty if it
does not give this sentiment positive ex-
preston.
The impression is that the wishes Of Mr..
Cleveland will be consulted both as TO the
platform and the nominee for vice presi-
dent. II his impression is correct the tariff
plank of the platform will be in harmony
with his tariff message. Indeed, it is diff
cult to see how he can consistently stand
upon platform which does not indorse his
message. The tariff plank which the com.
mittee on platform has agreed to is in favor
of tariff reduction, as it gives an interpre-
tation to the tariff plank Of the platform of
1854, for which the tariff reformers have
always contended. The convention will
probably accept the committees report.
The nomination for vice president will,
doubtless, be made to-day. 1t still looks as
il Thurman would be nominated without
opposition.

New York and Ohio are impressed with
the idea that reform is needed in the way
executions of capital offenders are con-
Quoted and they have made some radical
changes The laws of the two States in
regard to the matter are very similar In
Ohio the execution must take place within
the inclosUre of the penitentiary at Column
bus, and at an hour of the night of which
the public has had no previous notice, only
few persons being allowed to be present.
New ork, under the law passed by the
last Legislature, proposes to go a step
farther. Not only are the executions to
take place within an Enclosure at some
hour of the day of which the public has no
previous knowledge, and in the presence of
only such people, very few in number as
shall be invited to witness them; but, IL the
exact time is left with the jailer or warden,
who, however, must not decide upon a day
less than four nor more than eight weeks
after sentence; q no report Of the execu-
ton is to be printed in the newspapers or in
any other form, under penalty of a fine,
the only statement allowed being that the
criminal was executed at such an hour on
such day, in accordance with the law: 81
the victim is to be put to death by an in
Simultaneous discharge of electricity, power
full enough to produce that effect.
No doubt these laws will have the effect
of checking that sentimentalism which, in
the eyes of some, makes a hero of con-
demned man, and which seems to have be-
come so widespread in some sections as to
require check. 1t will be perceived that
under their operation the prisoner becomes
dead to the public from tie moment sen
tence is passed upon him and he is conveyed
to prison. There will be no counting of
days before the execution takes place, no
quickening of the public pulse as the day
draws near, but when the man enters the
prison he win have been already executed,
so far as the public is concerned

said to have been decided upon as the per-
son to present Senator Sherman's name to
the convention, and Gov. Foraker will
second the nomination. The selection is re-
garded in Washington as shrewd at
tempt to put Sherman before the conven-
ton as Pennsylvania's candidate, and at
the same time it is regarded as evidence of
weakness which justifiss desperate risks.
II Sherman's name should be presented by
Gen Hastings, and it, after several ballots,
his Pennsylvania following should break
away from him, it would DO looked upon as
being almost as bad as il the Ohio delega-
ton had deserted him. Sherman hasn't Mr..
Cleveland's luck.
