In filing two-thirds Of the places to be filled
under the Law creating the new circuit appel
late court the President has wisely and patriot
ically selected two eminent lawyers Of the
party in opposition, or one-third Of the whole
number yet appointed. That he did not at the
same time choose one Of the judges from the
south was not due to sectional unfriendliness,
but. il is said. TO the fear that such action
would make the court democratic. This would
be due not to the fact that the federal courts In
the southern circuits arel composed OF demo-
erats-for there are not more than one or two
democratic experimentation perhaps to the
Ieanings of some of the republican appointees
whose long residence in the south with all that
this residence implies brings them into social
sympathy with the ruling classes there. 1t Is
not to be charged against the President In this
matter that he has shown a sectional bias His
course was broadly polite under the condi-
tions. The fact that the democratic judges
are both men Of high character and attain
ments divests the constitution OF the new
court of any political significance and marks
the action of the executive as signaIiy wise and
truly conservative. With the appointment OF
three other judges the new appellate court Will
be complete In its organization

Before the House of Representatives is
organized and while the organization OF the
Senate is imperfect the introduction OF bills
proceeds in much the old way of a big increase
every year. The calendar groans every session
under the load of measures which have no
hope Of passage. 1t may be that the PROPOSE
ton debated in the Federal Convention for the
appointment of committee of revision of bills
and resolutions Will now have to be resuscitated
and adopted. There is more need of it than
in the elder day when there were only twenty
six Senators and sixty-five Representatives and
the population was less than four millions.
Tue trouble with the flood Of bills is that the
unmerisorious or hurtful ones crowd out con-
sideration of good measures, while the haste
with which they are often prepared paves the
way for imperfect legislation that has to be
done over. Even when their meaning is OBJ
vious they require reshaping by the committee
to which they have been referred.

Great as has been the gain to the island bv
the heavy rains of last week, it has not been
secured without some discount. The fall of
water has in many places been 80 heavy that it
was impossible that the overflow could reach
the sea without doing some damage on its way.
In the central and western parts of the island
there has been some slight damage to the
canes wherever they have been close to the bor-
ders of a water course. They have been fire.
quently laid fiat and occasionally rooted out
and swept away. We have been told that by
careful management the canes not actually
taken out of the ground can be saved, and on
the whole planters are evidently inclined to
look upon the damage sustained by the grow.
ing crop as a small discount indeed on the very
great advance which that crop will undcubted-
ly make after the thorough soaking the soil has
now had. We are sorry to learn that the
plots of provisions belonging to the laboursrs
have in some cases in the north and west suff-
cred heavily. Yam vines & potato vines, with
canes, bushes & even small trees were seen
c~oursing along the gut at Frederiksted out into
the sea. A great number of bananas planted
in the "north-side" quits have also been swept
away. The greatest damage, however, has
been suffer ed by the roads. From an official
advertiser ent in this paper our readers will
have seen that the bridges at Mt. Pleasant,
C%olquohoun and at Fair Plain have been
seriously damaged. The centre-line read is,
on the whole, very little injured. But it is in
the West and North West that the most seri-
Gus mischief has been done. The gut near
West End known as Harding's Gut overflow
ed its usual limits to such an extent that it
not only made sad havoc with a fine piece of canes
belonging to estate La Grange, but after being
Joined by other waters from the east of Ere

pond Bush" and entered the cottages there.
so that the inhabitants had to escape in the
early morning through water breast-high.
The wooden bridge close to the Fort was
hoAted to one side, and of course damaged, by
the waters but was not carried away. A long
piece of the North Side road adjoining the
bridge on the north was completely destroyed
and is now replaced by a pool opening to the
sea. Such a food, we are told, has not plevi-
ously occurred within the memory of very old
inhabitants, and no wonder when we learn
that over 100 lines (say more than one FOOT of
rain fell in the one night. On the North Side
road other serious gaps occur at La Grange
avenue and at the bridge over the channel
leading from the lagoon into the sea-
Among the hills of the North Side"
many of the roads, at jolly Hill and in the
Crequi's, for instance, are SO badly cut up as
to be rendered impossible. Such exceptional
damage, we suppose, will have to be met by
exceptional measures, and will not be repaired
without cons iderable outlay. Still we doubt not
that when all is made good in the fields ION
the roads, the total expense will yet leave the
bounteous rains of last week very largely indeed
in credit.

They Strike the Fishes, Poison Them and

Having repeatedly been interested in
watching how water snakes feed, was
careful in noting how one particular
snake Unanswered to get a meal in
Crum brook, one of the trout streams
preserved by the Quaspeake club, of
Rockland County, New York, of which
l am warden, says writer.
The snake darted from under the
bank and seized club about three
inches long, half Of it's body being in
the mouth of the snake. ! struck the
reptile smartly with my cane and it
darted away and the fish wiggled off
slowly for few feet and then lost all
power of motion, although it did not
seem even to be slightly bruised. Upon
taking it out of the water observed a
thick slime or mucns covering the whole
body, which l scraped of, and returned
the fish to the water. At first it was
very active, swimming around lively,
but in a few moments seemed once
, more to lose the power of motion.
again took it out of the water, and
found the coating of slime thicker upon
its body than before. l scraped it of
again, with the same result, but
| finally the fish turned or its side dead
| and in about five minutes, spent
in perfect quietude on my part, tho
snake came from under submerged
stump, seized the fish and disappeared
| The incident led me to believe that the
snake poisoned the fish by coating i
with the thick secretion found upor
! its body.-Sature's Realm.
