AN ENGLISH JUDGES MISTAKE.

London Daily Telegraph.
The late Mr.. SERGEANT Robinson tells
us In his agreeable book, Bench and
Bar" that Boron Martin had the
greatest antipathy to the so-called
prophets, or touts who frequent
race courses and profess to give weak
minded lovers of betting "thestraight
tip"
On one occasion Baron Martin,
when he had become extremely deaf,
was trying a racing case--an exercise
of his judicial functions In which he
fairly reveled. One of the counsel en-
gagged in IL was named Stamers-a
formal contentious sort of parsonage,
who could never make speech with
out quoting Scripture. In address
ing the jury he was about to fall into
his old habit, and got as far as '"The
prophet says" when he was inter-
rupted by the Judge: "Don't trouble
the jury, MIR. Stammers, about the
prophets; there is not one of them
who would not sell his father for six
penny worth of halfpence."
"But, my Lord" rejoined Stam-
mers, with offended dignity, 81 was
about to quote from the prophet Jere-
miah."
DON'T tell me-" calculated the Ba-
ron, with Increasing impatience; 81
have no doubt your friend Mr. Myer
Is just as bad as the rest of them"

She couldn't see that by nugging
her husband so that she was glad to
get ont of hearing, he was making q
slave and drudge of herself. Her hus-
band would try to make her happy If
she would allow him to.
On the other hand there are hus-
bands that are as bad. They are al
ways coarse and snappish, and try as
hard as they can their wives cannot
get pleasant word from them.
What can be done in such a ease?
The best thing In the world Is to
have good plain talk. Wait till
one of those times that come in every
house, however cross the home-mak-
ers may be, when the storm has pass
ed and there is q calm on the domes-
tic sea and then have an earnest, but
pleasant talk.
If this is done the chances are good
that the results will be much more
happiness for both. Nothing makes
80 much trouble as the little misun-
derstandings that are allowed to pass
without explanation. Three-fourths
of the troubles of such homes as the
above could be avoided by such a
quiet, pleasant but earnest talk, fol-
lowed by little earnest self denial
and determination on the part of
each to do their share In. part, even
the case of any reader try 1t. The re-
suit will be good. / know 1t, for l

will have an equal opportunity with the
rest of the world to make exhibits and
earn premiums, but the State of Califor-
MIA itself, not as competitor for premium
money, but as an exhibitor intent
upon illustrating its industrial status
and progress, and the vastness
of its undeveloped resources,
should make complete, comprehensive
exhibit, in one place, of the products of
its forests. fields, mines and waters. By
this means only can perfectly satisfactory
results be obtained The people of Cali
fornia have a right to expect that the
State exhibit, by reason of its complete
ness, will fully illustrate the resources of
our commonwealth, and that the errors,
or deficiencies, or neglect of individual
exhibitors will be more than compen-
sated by the completeness of the exhibi-
ton which the State itself will make.
Thus California will be assured of repre-
sentation in every department, and be-
yond the value of such competitive rep
resentation will present to the world as
the result of the efforts of its Commits
sioners and at the expense of the com
mon treasury an exhibition which our
patriotic love for the State leads us to
hope and believe will be unsurpassed by
any State or nation of the earth. Very
respectfully. WIN. II. MILLS.

VICTORIOUS DEPUTIES

Burr's Suit to Gust Them Is Legally
Knocked Out.
E. A. Burr is having bad luck with his
reform suits.
Last week his suit to stop the payment
Of the $4,000 collected by special tax
voted for by the people at the last cleo
tion-for salaries OF the extra prolicemen
who worked q year for nothing under an
unconstitutional Act. was decided ad-
versely. In this case, although the court
held that the special tax was levied IL
legally, it was too late for review, as the
time for contesting the election had
lapSed.
Burr met his second Waterloo yestor-
day.
His suit to Gust the extra deputies al
lowed the County Clerk, Recorder. Sher-
III and Assessor, by the Supervisors, was
argued and submitted several days ago,
and on yesterday Judge Van Fleet
rendered Ibis decision i'll the case.
The court maintained that the
Supervisors had acted legally in
allowing the extra deputies, and that
the Act under which the board did this
was constitutional. Only one point had
given rise to doubt, said the court, and
that was the factthat the extra deputies in
directly exceeded the compensation al
lowed by law TO the officers who en-
plOyed them. But even on this point the
authorities Were so unsatisfactory that
the court was of opinion that the doubt
should resolve itself in favor of the Act.
The Judge then formally sustained the
demurrer offered by the deputies coun-
sci to the complaints, and gave judgment
for the defendants and costs.
The deputies were TO be seen yesterday
afternoon lndulging in various sorts OF
reels, jigs and other evidences of glee.

BURIAL OF INDIGENTS.
The Law Governing the Interment of
Old Soldiers and Sailors.

The Law Governing the Interment OF
Old Soldiers and Sailors.
There is said to be some misunder-
standing among Grand Army organiza-
tions as to the provisions Of the law pro-
viding for the burial of honorably dis
charged and INDECENT soldiers, sailors and
marines Of the war of the rebellion and
the Mexican war.
The law of 1889 provides that the Super
visors Of each county shall designate a
proper person whose duty it shall be to
cause to be decently inferred any person
entitled to the benefits Of the Act, the ex-
pense Of each burial not to exceed $50.
This expense shall be borne by the
county in which the deceased died, unless
his residence was in some other county,
in which case the latter shall bear the eX-
pense. 1t is provided, also, that the Act
shall not apply to persons dying in the
National or State Soldiers Homes.
The duties of the person designated by
the Supervisors to carry out the law are
thus laid down:
''It shall be the duty of the person ap-
pointed, as provided in Section / Of this
Act, before he assumes the charge and
expenses of any such burial, to first sat
isfy himself, by a careful inquiry into
anu 6AclDlLdilOIl Vi dl1 Gllt ClICulISJdLCGI
in the case, that the family of such de-
ceased soldier, sailor, or marine, if he had
any ut the time Of his decease residing in
such county, is unable for want of means
to defray the expenses of such burial or
funeral; and if he finds such inability to
exist esssbau cause such deceased soldier,
sailor, or marine to be buried, as pro-
vided in this Act, and he shall immedi-
ateIy report his action to the Clerk of the
Board of Supervisors of the county, stat
ing forthwith all the facts, and that he
found the family of such deceased person,
if he had any. in INDECENT circumstances
and unable to pay the expenses of such
funeral or burial, together with the name,
rank, and commandIto which he belonged
as such soldier, sailor, or marine, the date
of his death, place where buried, and his
occupation while living, and also an
itemized statement of the expenses in
CURED by reason of such burial.
The person appointed as provided il
Section ! Of this Act, shall not receive
any compensation for any duties he may
perform in compliance with this Act"
