Judicial Salaries and Tenure of Office.
Judge Geo. c.. Barrett in the May
Forum

Judge Geo. C. Barrett in the May
Forum
1t ought to be said that if justice mis-
carries more frequently in this country
than in England, owing to the infer
iority Of our judges, the people are
themselves to blame. We have Just
as good judges as the people are willing
to pay for. The whole judicial system,
national and State, is founded upon the
policy of small salaries. The people
want cheap judges, and they get them.
The bright feature in the system is that,
upon the whole, the people get fairly
good judges, and occasionally great
ones. We may justly expect to receive
full value in attainment for our money,
with even large discount for honor
and dignity. But we will be disap-
pointed if we hope to average any
thing more or better. The idea that
inferiority results from the elective
system is hardly borne out by expert
ence. Tenure is far more vital mat
ter. Given short terms and meager
compensation, the sequitur of poor
judges is assured. Life tenure is notin
entire accord with the spirit Of our in
stitutions. The happy medium would
seem to be tenure sufficiently long to
secure independence, but not long
enough to awaken despotic tendencies.

A Steep Doctors Bill.

DR.. Chas. E. Simmons, New York
physician, has brought suit for $l43, 900
against the executors Of the estate Of the
Hon. Samnel J. Tilden to recover pay
for his services as Mr.. Tilden's physi-
clan. The case has not advanced far as
yet. In the complaint only the lump
sum, without particulars, is given. The
executors ask for a bill of particulars,
and their lawyers appeared in court
Monday and moved that such bill be
ordered. Argument on the motion
was adjourned until to-day. The New
York Morning Journal quotes man Of
figures as saying: "Dr. Simmons must
have visited Tilden every day at $l00 q
visit for four years, giving him the ben
eft of a leap year every twelve months;
or he visited him every day at $50 a
visit for eight years; Or at so a visit
every day for twenty years; or at $40 a
visit every day for forty years; or at IS
visit every day for eighty years; or at
- visit every day for two hundred

They Rung the Bell on the Preacher.
From the Christian Advocated

From the Christian Advocated
We have heard, on the best authority,
an instance of Observation-Disclosures pro-
duced by preoccupation. A Presby-
terrain minister, still living, belonging
to a celebrated family, was ill. Late
Saturday evening he thought he would
be able to preach the following day,
and SO secured no supply for his pulpit.
Sunday he was much worse. Nothing
having been done, he determined, if
possible, to reach the pulpit, offer
prayer and pronounce the benediction,
and omit the evening service. He as
cended the pulpit, announced hymn,
offered brief prayer, and arose to ex-
press nis regret that he could not pro-
eeed. He said it was a great disap-
pointment to him. He had hoped that
morning to be able to speak to them
upon the following beautiful passage of
Scripture, (annoucing the teXt,) but
owing to- jill health he would not be
able to do 40, and would merely state
the line Of thought which he intended
to communicate. After speaking for a
while upon that, he said : 'In the
evening, had dared to venture out, l
should have hoped to follow these re-
fections with few remarks upon an
other subject" announcing the text
After a while bell rung. He stopped,
placed his hand to his head, and said to
one of the deacons: "What is that
bell ringing for::" Said he THAT is
the o'clock bell, and you have spoken
about two hours in telling US what YOU
would have said in the morning and in
the evening if you had been we'll
enough to speak"

the sort of girl to marry. But you!

The girl who won't be won usually

AS matter of fact, and in justice to
the South, it might as we'll be known
that the colored vote is in no small part
suppressed only by the apathy Of color

were saved only because their nest was
blown out just before the tree was

"Eeny, Meny, Miny, Mo-"

"a dignified professor with a bald
head" We are given to understand by
the New York press, has been lecturing
on the above subject, and finds it
very fascinating and extensive theme.
In other words, he has been investigat-
ing the counting out rhymes Of
children, in all languages. He finds
that they exist in Penobscot Indian,
japanese, Arabic, Turkish, Bulgarian,
Swedish-in fact, almost every known
language. In Dutch he has found
fourteen counting out rhymes, in Ger
man two hundred and sixty-nine and
in English four hundred and fifty-four,
altogether eight hundred and sixty in
all languages. We must henceforth
remember that it is an ancient classic
that the children are repeating when
they say:

Three geese in a flock"

TWO GIRLS FIGHT A DUEL.
Eoth Loved the Same Cowboy and Hated
Zach Other.

San MARCOS, y. NJ, May 3.-A
duel took place few days ago between
two lovesick Mormon maidens at Il
small Mormon settlement in Luna
valley, this county. They had become
enamored Of the same youth, James
Whitman, Il cowboy and Il Gentle
Their nanles are Sarah Bollon and
Mary Leemore, aged sixteen and eigh-
teen years. They We're always friends
up to the time Of their love affair. They
met u short time before the duel in the
adobe tabernacle in the hamlet and had
a fight right then and there. This in
creased their hatred, and from that
time up to the day of the duel each
went armed with revolver. They
finally met by mutual agreement on
the outskirts of the small village and
proceeded to fight duel. There were
no attendants. They measured off
about twelve PAGES drew their backs
toward each other, then wheeled, and
fired shot after shot. The firing at
tracted the attention Of some farmers
working near by who rushed to the
scene of the duel.
When they arrived Miss Bollon was
lying on the ground screaming, with
blood flowing from an ugly wound in
the shoulder. a few feet from her lay
her revolver in the dust. Miss Leemore
stood like 4 statue about rod away,
looking silently at her PROSTATE rival,
with her revolver still smoking in her
hand. When the men approached to
disarm her she fled, and shrieked.
"Yes, 1 have killed her, and I am
glad of it ~
Miss Bollon was carried to the near
est house, where her wound was dressed.
She was found to be seriously, though
not fatally, wounded. No arrests have
vet been made.

THE CHICAGO SCANDAL MILL
Judge Tuley Undertakes Much-Needed
Reform.

CHICAGO, April 2l.-Judse Tuley
surprised the crowd of scandalmongers
and sensation seekers who filled his Di-
Vorce Court this morning by reading
aiecture to the audience, the press and
Inc public in general, before he startedin
upon his usual Saturday divorce grist.
The Judge gazed severely around the
Court and said:
II desire to say to the representatives
OF the press that it is my earnest wish
that the newspapers would cease their
publication ofthese divorce proceedings.
Apart from the great wrong done the
parties seeking relief of the Courts, am
satisfied that the publication of these
oiVorceproceedings has a very bad effect
upon public morals. know it will be
said that these details would not be
published if the public did not demand
it. The public have no vested interest
IN the scandals and infelicities of the
married people who find themselves
compelled to appear in these Courts as
applicants for divorce. If the public
taste is so vitiated as to demand the
publication of these proceeding it ap-
pears to me that the newspapers ought
to be better than the public.
LAS to those people who gather to
hear the recital of evidence suitable to
their depraved taste propose hereafter,
to admit none except those who may
find seats. 1 have been compelled on
more than one occasion to order young
girls who come in parties of from five to
dozen to leave this Court room.
shall extend this order to the bailiff to
keep out of the Court room all minors
during the hearing of these divorce pro-
ceedings. It is wise and even necessary
topublish these proceedings in an accu-
rate manner, but cannot exclude the
reporters even if I wished, and would
not if 1 had the power, but I feel that
the manner in which these divorce pro-
ceedings have been reported for the last
SIX or twelve months tends to bring the
administration of justice into ridicule,
II not contempt, and it must he stopp-
ed"
Duringthe readingof the lecture sew
eral young ladies "visages heightened
pereeptibly and they grew still longer
whenthe bailiff proceeded straightway
to hustle out of the Court everybody
who had no business there.

,ireal Changes for Three Inventors.
TFrOf. r. II, Thuston in the May
Forum.

[Frof. r. II, Thuston in the May
Forum
I have often taken occasion to remark
that the world is awaiting the appear
ancc of three inventors, greater than
any who have gone before, and to
whom it will accord honors and enolu-
ment far exceeding all ever yet received
by any of their predecessors. The first
is he who will show us how, by the
combustion of fuel, directly toproduce
the electric current; the second Is the
man who will teach us to reproduce
the beautiful light of the glow-worm
and the fire fly, Il light without heat,
the production of which means the
utilization of energy without that still
more serious waste than the thermo-
dynamic not met with in the attempt
to produce light; while the third is the
Inventor who Is to give Us the first
practically successful air ship. The
first two OF these problems are set for
the electrical engineer, and we may be
parlloned excess of faith, should it prove
to be such, when, contemplating the
enormous gain to humanity which
must come of such inventions, we look
confidently for the genius who is to
multiOly the Wealth of the world to an
extent besides which even the boon con-
fcrred by the creators Of the steam
engine and the telegraph will not APP
pear ovcrshadowing. When this in
vcntor comes forward, and most proha-
bly, not till then, it is very likely that
We shall see steam superseded by Il
rival.

above will be sufficient to give some
thinh like a fair idea of what they
were. And in this connection it may
be said that it is an open question
among archalogists whether that other
Central American ancient race is the
originator of that architecture and of
those designs which are common to
them and the ancient Egyptians, or
whether the reverse is the case. EXplo-
rations now being prosecuted may
prove that, after all, the New World
may be really the Old World.

NEW SOUTHERN WORDS.
Picked From Charles EGbert CriG,lock's
Novels.
I From Nashville American. !


\ letter from a gentleman of this city
with regard to the article on Miss Muir
frees new words, reprinted from the
New York Independent in the Ameri-
can OF April 20, gives some valuable
information. | have hitherto sought
in vain for the locality where Miss
Mufree's ''deedlc" is used. In the
summer Of 1855 ! made inquiries among
the mountaineers of the Smokes, but
could find no one who knew the word.
But, now, L gentleman who travelled
for several Years in eastern Kentucky,
says that "deedle" is common enough
in Pike Martin, Floyd and Johnson
counties in that State. My informant
thinks it "purely Il mountain word, not
much used along the Big Sandy river,
except in imitation Of those who live ut
some distance fromit." He says decide
is also used in north Alabama. The
same authority states that spun-stuck
is common in the Kentucky counties
mentioned above. | was sure that Miss
Murfrcc had not coined either of the
above words, though l had not heard
them used, / am glad now to confess
my error in charging her with coming
the words buzzardy and foreshortly.
Ny correspondents says "buzzardy'
has only been used by negroes in my
presence" while the captain Of Il hoe
gang "often said 'foreshortly' for imme-
diately, when he affected great impress
Siveness.

ciSing Miss Murfrees, or some other

Death by Electricity.

DR.. Richardson writes on the subiec
in the Asclepia6 as follows: "In some re-
searches ON the application of the elect
ric discharge for the painless extinction
of the lives of animals to be used as food.
the details of which I recorded in the
Medical Times and Gazette for the wear
1869, this mode of death was anything
but certain in its effects. Sheep strick9
en- apparently into instant irrevocable
death by electricity, after few minutes
showed signs of life, and if they had
not been dispatched in the ordinary
way by the knife would have been re-
stored to consciousness. The same fact
has been observed in attempts to kill
dogs by the electric shock, and I once
published an instance in which large
dog, struck into perfect unconsciousness
by the stroke from a powerful battery,
was submitted to a surgical operation
while lying, to all appearances, dead,
and was yet so little affected as to make
ON easy and sound recovery. 1t need
not be inferred from such facts as these
that the electric shock will not kill at
one discharge--in most cases it will
but, exceptionally, instead of killing out
right it will simply stun, and NAV induce
the semblance of death instead of the
real event. 1t will be only common
humanity, therefore, for the authorities
of New York, when they begin to give
the coup de grace by the electric shock,
to supplement- the process by a post
m0rtem examination of the victims, SO
that the act may not be crowned by
burying the victims alive"
