GAMBLING IN FUTURES. q

Judge Turner, of the Troup county
ia, court, has some very sensible ideas
in regard to the gambling" which is car
ried on by members of boards of trade.
In recent case involving what is called
transaction in "coston futures," he de-
cided that cosrt viii not hear Gaze
founded upon an illegal contract, whether
the illegality is pleaded by the defendant
or not. Commenting upon the general
subject of trusts, combines, corners and
syndicates formed for speculative pur-
poses, the Judge said: "The courts can
not check these evils by orig gireting meas
ures to suppress them; but will be found
always, as they always have been found.
ready to exercise their beneficent powers
in rendering efficacious Legislative enast-
ments for this purpose. Surely when the
tendencies of this evil practice are con-
sidered in connection with the ruin, mo.
raj. physical, and financial, that such
gambling, in ninety nine cases out of ev-
cry 1G0, sooner or later entails on the in
dividual, Gnd the long train of innocent
persons who are dragged down TO the
lowest depths of misery by such viola
tIons of law, no one can be surprised that
the courts refuse to lend their aid 10 the
enforcement of contracts so nefarious in
their conception, so odorous with crime,
so fraught with evil, both to individuals
and society,"" A judge or two with sub
stantialiy similar views could dc pretty
stroke of work IN Chicago Just now.

WASHINGTON.

The republican and democratic clerks
in the departments at Washington have
paired off, thus saving the trouble Id
expense of going home to vote.
Born houses of Congress having at
last agreed upon the annual Deficiency
Appropriation bill, the prospect OF soon
closing this unprecedentedly protracted
session is promising.
The treasury department has made the
ruling that if importers, at the approach
of the holiday trade, import goods In
coverings which are maEifestly designed

of 100 per cent. ad valorem.
WASHINGTON, ID. C.-The delegation of
Sioux chiefs met at the interior depart.
ment Saturday morning for a conference
with Secretary Villas, and large crowd
was present. Secretary Villas welcomed
the Indians and response was made by
White Ghost, who asked that the confer
ence be postponed, as the Indians wero
tired with their long journey. The other
chiefs also urged the request, and the
conference was finally postponed until
Monday afternoon. The Indians will be
presented to the president Monday after
noon.
WAsHINGroN.-The clerks in the depart
ments here are putting the practice of
pairing, employed in congress to hovel
use. 1t is said that many clerks of re
publican persuasion who feel that they
cannot afford to go home to vote are
pairing off with democratic clerks from
their states who likewise are pecunia-ily
embarrassed. BY this arrangement the
relative standing of the two parties is left
unchanged and the clerks save money.

SIR CHARLES WARREN, the head of the
London police, appears 10 have in hin.
the making of q Gilbert and Sullivan
character. If .hese two artists set about
it, they would make hit with Sir Charles.
When the Whitechapel murderer began
his work Sir Charles did not seem to know
just where Whitechapei was situated. At
al events, his detectives we're not station
ed in that quarter until the public began
TO demand his resignation. Then his
blood was up. He drove to the East end
and commanded the search for the cul-
prit in person. After the detectives had
reported tina. the murderer had left not
one trace behind him, school-boy called
mis- attention to some tracks that began
at fence near the spot where one of the
bodies was found and continued through
back yard. Blood-hounds we're suggest
ed to Sir Charles, but he had no faith in
such detective device. Thereupon the
public deu anded blood hounds. The
track had become cold and it was useless
TO try any experiments. The London
public by this time had become convinced
that the murderer conld only be hunted
down by dogs, aud the chief of police
subdued his own preferences and bought
some hounds. They were American
hounds, and suggested fugitives slaves
and things. In order to test their powers
ne repaired to Hyde park at daybreek on
Wednesday accompanied by one reporter,
two dogs and three blood hound experts.
He gave direction TO an attendant to
hold the dogs until he had crossed the
park and then to give them the scent.
This was done and the dogs went on brave.
ly until they came to the spot where q
policeman had crossed Sir Charles's path.
They turned aside upon the new trail
Several other starts were made. and final
iy the chief of police was hunted down.
Sir Charles is said to have been much dis
turbed because the dogs ran of upon a
policeman's trail, but thinks that If the
Whitechapel murderer should besmear his
feet with blood the blood-hounds would
take this scent rather than that of a
policeman. The Pail Mall Gazette says
that the words, 81 have murdered four,
and will murder 10 more before / sur
render myself to the police," have been
found written on the shutter of house
in Whitechapel, and that Sir Charles Or
dered the inscription to be erased before
photograph could be taken. This is a
gr7at blow to the chief, because he evi-
IDENTIFY has taken the news to heart and
will feel bound to wait until the 18th
murder before setting on his blood
hounds.

With what glory comes and goes the year.!
The buds of spring, those beautiful harbing-

OF sunny skies and cloudless times, enjoy
Lite's newness, and earth's garniture spread

And when the silver habit of the clouds
Comes down upon the autumn sun, and with
A sober gladness the old year takes up
His bright inheritance of golden fruits,
A pomp and pageant I'LL the splendid scene.
There is beautiful spirit breathing now
Its mellow richness on the clustered trees,
And, from beaker full of richest dyes.
Pouring new glory on the autumn woods,
And dipping in warm light the pillared
clouds.
Morn on the mountain, like summer bird,
Lifts up her purple wing, and in the wales
The gentle wind, a sweet and passionate
wooer,
Kisses the blushing leaf, and stirs up life
Within the solemn woods of ash deep-crim-
soned,
And silver beech, and maple yellow-leaved,
Where Autumn, like faint old man, sits
down
By the wayside a-weary. Through the trees
