However, there were several in the party
that could perform all these and many more
to admiration; there was no poor or even
mediocre work. Young Melton's riding was
something magnificent; he sat like tower
on his strong iron gray, and as he came
sweeping down the track the impression of
force and power was tremendous, over
whelming-hew was like an embodied thunder
bolt. He bore down upon two fellows who
were racing, ran the gray between them,
grasped right and left and went on with a
man In each arm while the two horses sprang
away with empty saddles. Everybody ap-
plauded loudly: "Melt's scooped the whole
race. Hurrah for MeltP' "What d ye
leave the horses for, Melt?"
But the boys was a very form for the eyes
of young love to linger on. The spare
young outline, the 1.-the, springing grace,
the light alertuess and vigor, and fearless
nessl He seemed glowing incarnation OF
youth and love and valor. Whether he bent
forward or back, twisted sideways or sat
erect, he seemed just poised in the saddle;
every movement, every attitude charmed
and satisfied the eye with its perfection OF
unstudied grace. like the something inef-
fable in the slant of birds wing, the turn
of its glossy head or the glance of its quick,
bright eye. The big fellow rode as finely as
man could ride, but there was something
more than horsemanship in the boys riding.
LOVERS IN THE WALTZ
We danced that night to the peculiar and
beautiful Mexican music. A harp, viol
and two violins, played by Mexicans who
were musicians all the time and shearers in
the season, comprised our orchestra. We
had the Golondrina, La Paloma and soft,
dreamy waltzes, with their singular inter-
walls, piercing sweetness and unexpected
and tender Accomplishments
i saw my boy waltzing with Louie. They
came past me once and both young faces
were flushed and bright with smiles. Pres
emily they passed again-walking-and on
Marks face was the shadow that somehow
I had felt a prescience of from the first.
The Light was gone from his eyes, the
color and smile from his lips. Louie was
clustering gaily and laughing up to him,

BROOKS LAW TINKERING.
THE CITIZENS OF PHILADELPHIA LIKE
THE JUDGES.
Opposed to q Board Of Excise Commits
Observation-Disclosures They Would Like
to Have Made-Judge White to Act
Again in Pittsburg.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 27.-The action Of
the Philadelphia Judges in regard to the
Brooks law has excited discussion Of that
law in every quarter. The Philadelphia
Judges unanimously decided that the duty
OF granting licenses to sell liquor was not
properly judicial act, and declared that
they would not sit on the bench in license
court. They also adopted memorial which
will be presented to the Legislature asking
that the power OF granting licenses be placed
in board of excise commissioners.
This action on the part OF the Judges has
stirred up considerable opposition, and a
committee appointed at a meeting of the
citizens of the county, and representing all
the various denominations and leading in
terests, has prepared a counter memorial to
the Legislature opposing the transfer of
power from the Judges. After reviewing
all liquor legislation, this memorial states
that it is impossible to avoid the conclusion
that when the Constitution of Pennsylvania
OF 1870 and the succeeding Constitutions
speak Of the Court of Quarter Sessions they
mean court, one of whose duties it is to
hear and determine the question to what
persons and for what places liquor licenses
shall be granted when the Legislature re-
quires them to do so; also that the Brooks
law is in harmony with the laws OF 1880 and
1884 and all previous legislation.
The committee suggests that the law be
amended as follows:
l. That the Courts Of Quarter Sessions Of
Philadelphia and Allegheny counties shall
have the same power to grant or refuse whole
sale licenses as the Courts of Quarter Sessions
have in other counties of the State where
| licenses are granted under existing laws.
2. That spirituous or vinous liquors shall not
| be sold in a less quantity than one gallon, and
malt or brewed liquors in less quantity than
| five gallons.
8. That no brewer, distiller or wholesale
| dealer shall allow any liquor sold by him, her
| or them to be drank upon the premises where
