The Pay of Judges.

In truth the entire judicial system
needs overhauling and Strengthening.
AS rule the United States judges are
so poorly paid that few lawyers Of abil-
ity and eminence are willing to accept
the post, unless it be upon the Supreme
bench. Some of the most learned Sena-
tors here made effort to increase and to
equalize the compensation of district
judges, but the cheese-paring economy
of the House of Representatives has in
variably prevented it. Most of them
receive an annual salary of 800, out
of which they have to pay travelling and
other expenses incurred in the discharge
of their duty. A few get $4,000 and
still fewer 81, 500. There is not law
yer of ability in either house Of Con-
gress who will not admit that the SAL
aries of these judges should be at least
S., 900 each; and some of them in dis
tricts where facilities for travel are poor
or primitive ought to get more, The
circuit judges are paid $4,000 q year,
and certainly the district judge should
get S., 900. Baltimore american.

Something in a Name.

James Smith suffered some trouble
from his surname. Sydney Smith is
said to have named his sons Douglas
and Wyndham, not that he had any con-
nection with these noble families, but
to distinguish them from the other
Smiths. James Smith, when a solicitor,
says writer in Temple Bar, was very
much troubled by another James
Smith, who came to live in the same
house. Deeds and confidential secrets
went to the wrong Smith. James
Smith determined to put an end to the
dilemma, and told the new arrival he
must leave. "Why should I leave?"
said the intruder. Because" said
James Smith, you are James the Sec
ond, and must abdicate.' There is
something in name. The Duke of
Newcastle, of borough mongering celeb
rity, was once asked for days fishing
by newly arrived clergyman. The
reply was: "The Duke Of Newcastle
cannot comply with Mr.. Noses request.
P. S.-Finding Mr.. Noses name is
Rose, he is pleased to grant the re-
quest"

we'll known physician of Coffee Coun.
ty, Tenn:
ut occurred says the Doctor,
when was lad. There had been q
heavy snow, and several boys, includ-
ing myself, We're prowling about, hunt
ing rabbits. Along in the afternoon q
thaw set in, and as we could find no
rabbits, we began to amuse ourselves
by rolling SNOWFALL. We were, at
this time, on the long hill known as
Benson's Slope. We rolled the ball
until it got to be as large as hogs
head; and then, as it was easy to roll
down the hill, continued to turn it
over. To our great delight it became
easier and easier to roll, and, suddenly
to our great surprise, it broke away
from us and went bounding down the
slope. Then we beheld a startling
sight. The ball grew so rapidly that
it soon looked like rolling mountain.
1t picked up wagon and team, took
up negro cabin and then, with a ire
mendous bound fell into the river, just
in time to strike and completely bury
the gunboat Yellow Jacket. Not soul
on board escaped"

An Indiana Man Claims Title to Se,O0O,-
900 Worth of Real Estate.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, July George W.
Ewing, of Fort Wayne, Ind, has made a
claim through Attorney Ullman, of Chic
ago, to one-f fifteenth interest in property
in various parts of st. Paul, estimated to
be worth about $4,000, 900. Notices Of
this claim have been served on all the
owners of the lots affected, by Captain G.
L. Bunker, who is representing the claim
ant here
Dec. 81, 1863, George W. Ewing, Jr.,
conveyed to his father, George w. Ewing,
considerable real estate in this county in
trust, to devote the income for the main
tenance Of the grantor during his life and
at his death to revert to his legal repre-
sentatives. The interest thus conveyed
was the interest which came to him under
the will Of his uncle, being an undivided
ne-ffteenth. Both the trustees and
grantor are dead, and George w. Ewing,
third and only son of George w. Ewing,
Jr., having now come of age, intends to
bring suit to recover the property, unless
a satisfactory adjustment can be made.

"Double Slow"

ADVOCATE. The reader Will remember,
if he served his country during the
war, how such offenders were degraded
and punished by being forced to per-
form police duty about camp and other
mental work, and how cheerfully and
willingly they fell in for this service.
The Company ID man was no excep-
ton, as will appear by the following:
He was honored one morning by being
placed in command of the squad that
was to sweep the company streets, and
as they were to march by regimental
headquarters, he resolved to snow
Colonel Francis A. Osburn and his as
sociates with what alacrity and fidelity
they were about to enter upon their
duties. So just before reaching the
Colonel's tent he halted his squad and
called them to attention. He cautioned
them to remember that they were sol
diers; told them to ''brace up" as they
were about to pass in review; gave the
order, fright shoulder shift, and then,
in q loud voice, forward, march. AS
the imposing procession neared the
ColoneIs headquarters the command
was given, shoulder arms, ]" at which
all the brooms were brought down with
the regularity Of clock work. By this
time it had become noised about that
something unusual was going on, and
men ran from all directions to see the
fun. The field and staff of the regi-
ment stood in front of their tents, and
quite number of staff officers from
brigade and division headquarters hap
pened to be present. just as oil were
wondering what was coming next, the
commander of the broom brigade
brought matters to climax by crying
out at the top of his voice, double
slow, march," and this last order, amid
screams oflaughter, was strictly obeyed.

tom: and no man

but soldier with soldiers expert
ence with wounds could have supposed
that this curiously shaped object was
once an ounce globe of lead, and that
it had received its present shape by
impact with human body. But sol
diers know that such things did very
often occur. The resisting power Of
flesh must be great, when it can thus
change the shape of a leaden ball driv
en- by stout charge Of powder from a

would sometimes follow the course of
a rib or a muscle. sometimes glance
from bone, and even by resistance of
the body be DETECTED from vital spot.
The latter was the case with the COM
rade in question. Here is his own ac-
count of ia curious, interesting one.
I carried that thing in my body four
teen years. I got it skirmishing near
Newmarket, Virginia, in September,
1864.
After the battle of Fishers Hill
there was long pursuit of Early's
army which continued up as far as Har-
risonburg. The enemy kept strong
line of skirmishers thrown out, behind
which the fragments of the beaten
army retreated at q good pace. We
made it very lively for this skirmish
line, our advance being thrown out in
the same form, and we pressed them
day and night while they kept any
show of opposition before us; but still
they made time for EARLY, and sue
ceeded in delaying us considerably.
AS is the privilege Of skirmishers,
we took advantage of the shelter of
every tree, fence, and bush that we
met. The pursuit was so close that
the thing had got to be exciting. I had
reached the protection Of board fence,
breast-high, and saw along to the
right and left Of me puffs of smoke

retiring before us from cover to cover,
and at this time these long, irregular
lines were not more than hundred
and fifty yards apart.
saw puff starting out from behind
large-bodied oak tree nearly opposite
my position, and bullet went singing
overhead. I had so far exposed only
my head to the eyes above the fence,
but 1 had evidently been seen. Watch
ing closely, saw face peering out
from behind the tree, as the Confeder-
ate skirmisher tried to observe the eff
feet of his shot. I raised my rife in
stantly and fired. I shall never know
whether my bullet hit the man or not;
before the smoke of my gun cleared [

CAVALRY.
Jim White was just the 'tarnellest of all the
He out-ranked old Tom Pepper, that was kicked
from sheol's fires;
And swearl we'll. now, jewhillikens each oath
would raise Il blister;
He always tore them off in stsings, as sure as
In here, mister.
To let Jim tell the tale he was the brnvest,
And OF tho daring deeds he did, both day and
night he ravest
OF Company II the champion liar, but Jim as
pred to be
The champion regimental of the Fourteenth
Cavalry.
Another one was Winder Dave (aSweet Peach")
OF Company r;
Whenever these two worthless met, you'd have
to hold Your breath;
Though Sweet" was quite 8 terror and not one
to be despised.
Our Jim could quite outswear the cuss, as
sweet" soon realized.
Many a rough and tumble bout, they both had,
tongue to tongue.
The boys would form q big round ring and place
the pair among,
And these two worthless drew O crowd, I'm sorry
to relate,
Much larger than our chaplain dear could ever
Jm's lies were of the windiest, all bravad0 and
And in them Jim enjoyment found he couldn't
lie enough.
Sweet Peach's" yarn were of his wealth his
palaces and pnces
OF fabulous amounts he won ut poker and horse
races.
But for such things our genial Jim, he iidn't
care at all,
Not that presumably for such he didn't have the
gall;
His was . nature full OF fire, for brave things
said and done,
And when it comes to saying them, why Jim was
number one
Some stories in particular, that jim so often
told,
Was Of some fighting chat he did in the cavalry,
For Jim WIS with the RinggOld Buys before he
came to U.s.
And the way he fit and it, and it. Jim must
have been O
One tale that 1 remember we'll, was how Jim
and his stallion
just rid right over all the rebs,' and saved his
whole battalion.
And Jubal don't know to this day how gobbled
he was, nearly.
Jim really was self-made man, you'd love to
hear him toll it,
With his queer vernacular, and brilliant style
to swell it.
On one occasion James was out all by himself
q scoutin,
When nineteen rebs all on the Jump, at him
thoy kim shoutin'
Says Jim, AT ynwned and Strengthened out, and
grabbed old sixteen shooter,
1t just 'sprised them every one when it began to
sputter;
Ping, ping, ping, down sixteen went, all in alheap
so CORY,
I charged and caught the other three" and that
was our Jim's story.
