Pence Loving Justices of the Peace Can be
Had IL They Are Wanted.
Squire John w. Patterson, of West Lib
erty, crier in the Quarter Sessions Court,
has been Justice of the Peace for 81 years,
having served six regular terms aud held
over year owing to the adoption of the
new Constitution in 1874 The Squire has
never cut much Of figure in criminal prac-
tice, though very familiar with it in his
capacity in the Criminal Court. Hestates that
in the first place he is not popular with
some people because he doesn't always feel
like entertaining suits, and when he gets
an affair patched up at much more expendi-
ture oftrouble than hearing would be, the
plaintiff sometimes feels that he doesn't
like it because he "didn't get no law" he
came for pinch and not for a settlement
In such cases there are costs and neither
side feels like paying them, one party on
much the same e>ground as the sick man who
objected to paying doctor bill because the
doctor had given very little medicine.
Squire Patterson finds the vocation of
peacemAker an Improbable one.
As priest of Hymen, however, the posi-
ton is not to be despised in West Liberty,
q good many people aYsiling themselves of
his services, especially in times like the
present. when the mud is too deep to allow
wedding party to come to the city. Mar
mage lees, combined with some work in con-
veyanelng, make the Office a good enough
thing to have in family as an adjunct.
Squire. Patterson's experience merely en-
pnasizes the generalization Of philosophical
historians, that reforms come from below
and not from above. II people want peace
able Justices of the Peace, who will be in
fact, and not merely in name, what the title
signihes. they can easily get them.

much speculatlng being done in regard to the
status of affairs at the Moore wildcat, in Frank

months ago and was generally believed to be

is 264l feet deep and through the fourth sand

The Dress Worn by a Chinese Lady at
Her Wedding.
A writer In the North China Herald
describes the dress worn by Chinese
lady at her wedding, Of which he was
witness. as follows. Al length we were
admitted 10 inspect the bride, whose
iOur-hours' toilet was Just completed,
and marvellous spectacle truly was the
figure seated motiOnless In the centre Of
the room. Gorgeously elaborate was
her array from head 20 foot, the former
crowned with a helmet like erection OF
material resembling turquoise enamel,
wrought into the finest tiligree work,
from which projected glittering artii
cial beetles and butterflies and other
quaint rich ornaments, the whole sur.
mounted by three large, round tufts OF
crimson silk arranged tiarawise.
From the brim Of this headgear fell
all round strings OF pearl aud ruby
beads, about half yard IN length. Just
visible through these at the back were
broad loops of jet black hair, stiff and
solid as polished ebony, aud decorated
with artificial pink roses. Her princi-
pal yestment was a long tunic, whose
foundation fabric Of crimson satin was
scarcely disceTnible, and its embroidery
Of gold. A corner turned back, lined
with emerald satin, revealed an under
skirt paneled IN brilliant red and blue
silk, this also pTofusely trimmed with
gold embroidery. A belt of scarlet
satin. studded with tablets of white
coTnelian, crossed the waist behind.

Place Against which the Atlantic
Ocean Has n drudge.
The Bay Of Fundy, SAYS The Portland
AdrrtiseT, forms a cVl dc sac at which
the Atlantic Ocean seems to have taken a
spite, and at regular intervals pours in
its waters viciously and with intent TO
do all possible harm. Take, for In
stance, The harbor Of st. John. In most
parts of the world a tide Of from six to
ten feet Is quite sufficient to satisfy all
reasonable demands. In st. John Har-
Dor the tide rises twenty. one feet on an
ordinary day, and occasionally varies
the monotony by pushing the mark up
three OF four feet, as the humor seizes it,
and l was never struck so much with
anything in my life as with this al.
vance and recediug OF the waters.
! have described the narrow gorge

from It's mouth toward its source, and
this occurs every day in the st. John.
One good effect of this tide is this, that
when it is half up or half down the river

immense number Of timber barges and
other craft which have gathered IN the
river while waiting for the rise and fall
are able TO run nicely and easily out
into the harbor. st. John, be II under

sight worth going to see. The head OF
the advancing tide Is called a "bore.
IL you can imagine n straight wall Of
water eight or ten feet high curling over
at the top, advancing upon you at the
rate Of ten miles per hour, you can get
an idea OF what bore IS and what
n turn Of the tide means. At the Minas

around the headland like an express
