An Impartial Judge.

Ills not In any sense In q partisan
or political view from Republican
standpoint that Judge Bali OF the Mu-
nicipal Court is entitled to tho praise
and respect of the whole community
OF tax payers but because he has had
the manly independence to rise above
party and to rende. q decision in the
Groves-Mitchell casess that all fair
minded men must look at as fair and
impartial. The decision was not so
much to punish John A. Mitchell for
assaulting Horace B. Groves, as it was
to determine whether the place wher g
the tax-books are kept for transaction
OF business was public or a private
office, and whether taxpayers had not
q right to go there in the transaction
OF legitimate business, without the
courtesy claimed by the Receiver OF
Taxes, and without being caught by
the nape OF the neck and thrown out
OF the second story front windows, as
Mr.. Carpenter argued the Receiver oil
his deputy or agent had right to do
Judge Ball decided that where tbs
tax books were kept was the.tax offic'
and every citizen had the right OF nc-
cess TO them without any such balder-
Wash as courtesy about 1t. We do not
euppose that Judge Ball will lose any
popularity on account of his decision,
although 1t flies right in the face Of
MIR. Dlckey and his co-polItical conspi-
rators, nor do we think he cares about
popularity when Justice holds the
scales for his DECISION. Like the late
Judge Whiteley, he would rather be
right than be popular, and in the de
cision he has rendered, he has evlnced
desire to do right and the right viii
make him popular,
1t would have been very easy fol
him to have looked at the case in po
litical light and to have rendered de
cision to be added to the long line oi
adverse judicial decisions that hav,
crushed the life at times out Of the
Republican party, but he did not eel
proper TO do so. He rather chose t
be the impartial judge for which he 1
entitled to the unstinted praise o
every law-ablding citizen.

he Organized Walking Match Between
Turkeys and Geese.
When Sheridan was hard up for cash
he used 10 make his wit earn the means
Of his subsistence and he could accom-
plish this no better than by buying
wagers with the Prince Regent A dis
cussion once arose as to the respective
walking capabilities of turkeys and
geese, and the wit expressed himself
very incredulous Of the assertion that
turkeys would walk twice as far as
geese In given space OF time. He af-
fected to believe that geese could be
driven ns fast on the road as turkeys,
and the thing appeared so very absurd,
that the Prince instantly laid him a
heavy wager that such was not the,case.
Sheridan, however, knowing the
'early-to-bed" habits Of turkeys, took
care to arrange for long distance to be
t. versed, and to FIX the period for trial
late in the afternoon. The consequence
was that the evening set in before the
rival flocks had any thing like arrived
at their destination, and although the
turkeys outstripped the geese at first
as the shades OF night fell they re-
fused TO be driven forward, and got to
flying up on to the branches Of the trees
at the roadside. The geese, however,
we're driven steadily forward to the
goal, and the Prince, as usual, lost his
wager.-Spare Moments.

INrrnrsn1Nn A CAPITALIST.

INTERESTING A CAPITALIST.
The next time Russell called at the
house OF Gilbert Ray he had the pleas
ure of making that gentleman's ac-
quail .ance. He found the millionaire
a bluff, hearty old fellow, whose resi-
dence in the metropolis during the past
thirty years had made very little change
in him. As boy he had traded horses,
and had made some enemies and good
deal of money. His father had taken
the money and left him the enemies.
These facts in his early history he re-
lated to Russell with considerable ap-
parent satisfaction. He remembered
the time when they had accidentally
lunched together, and knew what Rus
sell had eaten, and how much 1t cost.

needed, young man." said he, "but per-
haps you knew what you we're about"
Russell ventured to hope that he did.
"A reputation for wealth is a good
thing" said Ray. "a young man gets
it by spending much more than he can
afford and an old man by spending less.

her blue eyes very wide. Now do you
know would have said you could have
worn each others clothes"
"She's making fun of me-" thought
Russell. "What in the name of annihila-
tion can do?"
"You saw him just before he sailed,
did you not?" she said. "Was he In good
spirits?"
"He seemed resigned" replied Rus
sell. Gas to the work which takes him
there, he is hopeful, but he is not the
man to leave his friends without regret"
"Has he many here?"
"Not many, but some whom he holds
very dear. am reminded that he gave

me, you have already much invested"
She glanced at the card.

charities are small, and yet within a
mile of my home one may find every
kind OF distress which Gods mercy per

This opened the way to more gene
raj conversation, far from embarrassing
topics Russell was soon at his ease,
and talking, as he thought, in highly
edifying manner. II intellectual devel'
opment was what Miss Ray needed she
would not fail to get it.
