ants. who stare at every thing new with
complacent wonderment that seems, with
contented poverty, to be common heritage
among them.
In the winter Of 1864 Cad Mayfeld came
home 1t was night, the weather was dark,
cold and raining He had walked one hum
dred and fifty miles from the camp where
fhe army stood, on the lower Red river, to
visit his wife and children. He did rot have
a furlough in his pocket. Ee took leave
without authority. Here he was. standing
before his own fire, his painworn wife and
ragged children hanging to him and crying
for great JOY. He wept, too, and was happy.
Yes though he had deserted his post as
soldier, he was wholly happy. The embrace
of a wife and the lingering kiss Of a child
can obliterate evil memories or hush fore
bodings of tragedy.
Next morning they had ash-cal1e and fried
bacon for breakfast. 1t was a meat more
savory to Cad than any he had ever tasted.
His wife's hands, large, long, rough,
brown, with the veins running in ridges
over them, prepared II. He watched her
roll the dough, and smiled through his
tears. When she deity sliced the bacon he
thought of tae day when poor, but strong
and hopeful, he brought her to this little
pile OF logs he called his house, and she
cooked their first dinner beneath its roof.
How he loved to draw water from the well
and drink a long sweet draught from the
big gourd-dipper; and when his youngest
child a boy of four years, poured water
from that dipper into his hands for him to
wash his face. he felt that he had reached
the climax Of enjoyment. They had no
wash-pan; bowl-weI, they had heard of
such thing, but had never seen one. 1t
was pleasant episode to find that the dogs
recognized him. The plow-horse and the
milk-cow, too, his only rcattle-gave him IA
miliar greeting.
Cad told his wife that he had furlough
for fifteen days. She believed him; Of
course she did And sure he had one; for
he promised himself to return within that
time and take the consequences. Perhaps

Chica-O's rich men. s CORNING JUDD.
Born in Otisco, Onondaga County, y. Y,
July II, 1927, he began an academic course
in Aurora, n. Y, when yeta small boy, and
was admitted to the bar at Albany at twenty
one. At one tune in his career he had. ike
mostyoung sprgs Of the law. the ambition
of moulding public opinion, and became the
editor Of the Star, morning paper published
at Syracuse, y. Y. Success, however, did
not reward his editorial efforts, and he
applied for and secured clerkship in tho
Department of the Interior, afterward be-
coming a partner in several prominent legal
firms. In 1873 ne removed TO Chicago, where
he practiced law until appointed postmaster
by President Cleveland, an appointment
which has produced more thorns than roses
for the appointee- Assuming the duties Of
the Office while physically weak, the attacks
of the ..short-hair'' faction of the Demo
cratic party brought on an attack Of nerv-
ous prostration and rheumatism, from
whose effects Mr. Judd is suffering unto
this day.
The postmaster has also succeeded in
arousing the antagonism of the mugwump
organ of Chicago, and between these two
fires and his delicate state of health his po-
htical fences, which are supported only
by the '-silk-stocking" wing Of his party,
are sadly III need of repair, and the ap-
pointment Of his successor would surprise
not even his friends. Personally, Mr. Judd
is a lovable man. In his religious procliv-
lties he is high-church Episcopalian, and
has st different times filed the most honor
able and exalted positions in the councils OF
the church, conducting some years ago the
case of the Illinois Diocese against Rev.
Mr. Cheney, who subsequently became the
first Bishop of the Reformed Episcopal
Church of America Mr.. Judd is thor
ough gentleman Of the old school, polite,
suave By nature and education, but OF
nervous temperament which has frequently
led people to form a wrong impression OF
the man.

WASHINGTON CITY, Aug. 4-Representa-
tive Oates, Of Alabama, a member of the
committee investigating italian immigra7
ton has returned to Washington during the
recess of the committee From the facts al
ready elected Mr. Oates has drawn some con-
illusions He says that he favors legislation
to restrict immigration by imposing tax of
5000 on every immigrant whether
he comes from Italy or any
other country. He would also place more
safeguard around American citizenship.
While he would not go so far as Mayor
Hewitt in demanding a twenty one years
residence in this country, he would certainly
make it much longer than five years; he
would make it an absolute necessity that the
applicant should be able to read and write
the English language, and he would put the
clause about the good moral character in
practical operation. He is also of the opinion
that it will DO necessary to abolish Castle
Garden as 1t at present exists under state
control. He thinks it will be necessary to
make it entirely federal Institution,
