An English Coach Dogs Tricks.

finest specimens OF an English coach dog
that can be found in the vicinity. Ii is an
excellent scholar, being able 10 learn all
sorts of object problems with "a rapidIty that
would do credit TO any schOOlboy. With
promptness it Will at ones bidding close a
door, and it will perform the ''shake-
hands" act with great courtesy. In
music also this creature has made
wonderful progress, and is not only
capable Of producing that euphOneOus
whine, but is able TO change its tune from
soprano TO bass at command. Nor must its
underhand deeds be unmentiOned. With
an air as cool as a pickpocket ii will walk
up to one and, quicker than wink, deprive
him OF his handkerchief. 1t is somewhat of
a soldier also, and with true military step
prOmenades the street with never a look
askance. Unlike the common dog, il re-
fuses to associate with its brethren, disdain-
ing TO be lowered from its aristOcratic posi-
ton. Its face is most intelligent and is
made more striking by the keen look Of its
eyes. 1t has handsome covering, much
prettier than the common coach dog

judges and Free Passes.
New IOrk uerald.

The proposition debated by the judiciary
commission at Albany to prohibit judges
from taking free passes from railroads is
significant.
One would imagine such proposition 10
be wholly unnecessary. However little
may be the scruple of the average legisla-
TOR on this score, judges are supposed to OBJ
serve "a higher standard OF official ethics.
Railway managers do not distribute dead
head tickets 80 freely among public officers
from any consideration of affection or
courtesy. They act on the principle Of
quid pro quo. They count on reciprocal
fayors. IL is pure business.
No public officer can accept such gratui-
ties without imparing his usefulness to the
people. The fact that body Of repre- senta-
tive lawyers propose 10 put this prohibition
on the Bench indicates that there is reason
for it--that free passes are accepted by
judges. This, we believe, was denied in the
debate. But IL the provision can do no good
IL can certainly do no harm.
BY the way, why not enlarge il So as 10
protect judges against financial leyies made
upon them In the shape OF assessments by
committees aud political organi-
<ationsy That is a fragrant abuse that
ought 10 be broken up.
