In the Spring

Nearly everybody needs good medicine. The
impurities which have accumulated in the
blood during the cold months must be ex-
PEELED or when the mild days come and the
effect of bracing air is lost the body is liable
to be overcome by debility or some serious
disease. The remarkable success of Hoods
Sarsaparilla and the universal praise 1t has
received make 1t worthy your confidence. 1t
is the "ideal Spring Medicine" Try it this
season.
That Tired Feeling
There is large and growing demand here
for Hoods Sarsaparilla, the sales already ex-
ceeding those of all other similar medicines
combined. ] know of many customers who
have been greatly benefited by it and who
speak of Hoods Sarsaparllla in the highest
terms. / take two bottles myself every
spring and fall and it does me more good
than any other medicine. G. RHODES,

parilla do not be induced TO buy any other.

Two OR THREE years ago, the Mexi-
can Government entered into a contract
with citizen of the United States by
which the latter was to prepare survey
of the Mexican peninsula for the Gov
eminent and TO receive in payment a
certain proportion of the lands surveyed.
When all was done, 1t became apparent
that the Mexicans had much the worst
of the bargain and that the American
citizen was in possession of nearly every
desirable and accessible part of the ter
litory in question. The natives resented
the arrangement with great bitter
ness and prepared for its violent
reputation, but President Diaz sup
pressed the outbreak with an iron hand,
and the beneflciaries of the contract
were protected in their acquisition.
Mr.. Blaine does well to see that one
government is no less scrupulous in
discharging lis own obligations toward
a neighboring power which has been so
friendly and so honorable. The pro-

BENEDICT ARNoLD'S HOUSE.
1t is Still Standing In the Fifth Ward
New Haven.

1t is Still Standing I'm the Fifth Ward In
| New Haven.
The old Benedict Arnold house is still
standing in the Fifth ward, on Water
| street, near the corner of Olive street.
1t has fallen into decay, but there are
some grey-haired citizens who remem-
| ber it when it was one of the show places
of the town. Its orchard was the larg-
est and finest in New Haven, and the
grounds were laid out in handsome ter
races.
| Arnold built the house soon after his
return from Ticonderoga. He must
have been a man of some wealth, for the
house was well built and the grounds
| were ample. Arnold was not popular
man. He had violent and irascible
temper, and would rather fight than
| eat" as has been said of him. He al
ways found fault, and the ferrymen who
took passengers across the mouth of the
Quinnipiac river before the bridge was
built, dreaded to have him for passen-
ger, for he always swOre at them for not
rowing faster.
Nevertheless Arnold was man of
gist and bookseller, he, with Adam Bah
cock, owned three vessels engaged in
the West India trade. They were the
brigantine Fortune. forty tons, the
Charming Sally, thirty tons, and the
Three Brothers, twenty-eight tons.
Arnold never took particular pains to
see that all custom house dues were
paid; in fact, he was very lax in this
particular. 1t is related that once on a
time sailor on board one of his vessels
reported some of these laxities to the
collector of the port. The report was
made on Sunday, and the collector re-
fused to receive it, and told the sailor
to come again on Monday. In the mean
time Arnold had heard of the sailors
tale bearing. Before Monday came
Arnold adopted course of moral and
physical suasion which compelled the
sailor to leave town with his tale untold.
Arnold's laxity in regard to the Gus
toms laws was probably not much greater
than that of his neighbors. Indeed, to
evade the customs was a virtue rather
than fault, for 1T was regarded as
justifable method of protest against
taxation without representation.
Arnold's property was confiscated af-
ter his treachery at West Point was dis
covered. Pierpont Edwards acted on
the governments administration and
sold the property to Captain Isaac Prout.
Captain Prout made only partial pay
ment, and was unable to meet the sub
sequent payments as they became due.
In this way the property came into the
hands of Noah Webster, the lexicogra-
pher, and he lived there for some yoars,
finally selling it to James Hunt, West
India merchant, who devised it to his
daughter, wife of ID. Goffc Phipps, of
this city. The house still remains in
Mrs. Phipp's possession, although it has
been almost dismantlrd

AN IMPARTIAL JUDGE.
Tho Gratifying Reputation Enjoyed by a
Noted Massachusetts Jurist.

Noted MASSACHUSETTS JurlSt.
A compliment, paid by Rufus Choate
to Chief Justice Shaw, of Massachusetts,
happily illustrates Burke's pithy phrase,
''The cold neutrality of an impartial
Judge" with what judge" said Mr..
Choate, ''can you see your antagonist
freely conversing, without the slightest
apprehension, as you can with him?'
Once during the trial of case, an
eminent lawyer, associated with Mr..
Choate, was rising to contest an un-
favorable, if not unfair, ruling made by
the chief justice. "Let it go!" whis-
pered Mr.. Choate, drawing him back.
''Sit down. Life, liberty and property
are always safe in his hands"
Gracefully as these sayings compli-
ment the impartiality of one of the
most upright of judges, they are not
more expressive than one which was
paid him by sporting man." noted as
an assistant in prize fights.
The "sport" was witness in murder
trial, and during his examination the
chief justice walked to the edge of the
bench, and in grave way, peering over
his spectacles, asked the witness several
questions. After the witness had left
the stand, he said to an officer of the
court
''Did you see that chap that sot with
two other coves behind little fence
there in court-I mean the cove called
the chief?"
SO yes, you mean Judge Shaw" said
the officer
''That's him; but what glorious fell
Ter he'd made for referee in fght!"
said the bruiser
Daniel Webster did one of the best
works of his life when he seated him
self in Lemuel Shaw's office, and spent
several hours in pursuading him TO re-
linquish lucrative practice to accept
the Chief-Justiceship p of Massachusetts,.
Though its salary was SO small as not to
amount to one-third of the sum which
Mr.. Shaw earned yearly, by the prac-
tice of his profession, he yielded to the
sense of duty, aroused by Mr.. Web
ster's arguments, and for thirty years
served the Commonwealth by admins.
tering justice.
The Constitution Of the United States
and the Constitutions of tho States are
peculiar in this, that without expressly
authorizing the judiciary to pass upon
the validity of laws enacted by the leg
islative authority, they place the courts
in such a position of complete inde-
pendence that the judges have assumed
and exercise the right to pronounce one
law constitutional and another uncon-
stitutional. Ni
The fact that after century of this
method of governing through the iudic-
larry the people still reverence the
courts, and especially the Supreme
Court of the United States, indicates
the wisdom of our ancestors, and the
moral influence of "the cold neutrality
OF an impartial judge. ."-Y Youths Com
