Justice Walter, of Washington, Punished
the Great Soldier for Fast Driving.
Few justices OF the peace in America
lave had so many dis inguished people
before them as it has fallen to the lot
of Charles Walter, of Washington, to
try. Among those who were arraigned
before Justice Walter was Joseph II.
Bradley, father of the present associate
Justice of the United States supreme
court, who in 1867 carried challenge to
Judge Fisher to fight duel with John
A. Surratt, son of the woman who was
hanged for completely in the murder of
President Lincoln. Gen. Sherman once
appealed to justice Walter for protec-
ton against b. S. Snider, who had
threatened his life, and of whom the
general wrote in his complaint: This
man will bear watching. He is either
a crazy man, or bad one pretending
Christian charity" ...... ..
But, perhaps, the most interesting
among the records of Justice Walters
court is a warrant bearing date April g.,
1866, and issued on the oath of Officer
Stephen A. Bailey, charging that Gen.
Grant was driving his horse faster
than moderate trot, contrary to the
corporation ordinance" On the back
are the words: April 10, 1886, fined S.;
paid" and in Gen. Grants hand writing
81 will appeal at p. m. U. 5. Grant .
But the appeal was not takeI and the
fine was paid.-Chicago Post.

Our Legitimate Tasks.

Some duties we have no right to neg.
lect. We are put into the world to fill
our several places to the best of our
ability, and to do this there are things
we must not leave undone. In trying
to arrange our new scheme of living,
let us single these out and put them
aside. If we deal honestly with the
matter we will be surprised to find how
many of our burdens we lay upon our
selves, and how comparatively few are
laid upon us. We do much unnecessary
work out of regard for the opinion of
our neighbors, who probably are strug-

appear to accept the current opinion.

Smart Seals.

Several years ago there were two
seals in the geological garden at Am
sterdam which were so fond of their
keeper that they could recognize his
voice long way off and would run to
meet him. These seals also became
attached to an old gentleman and his
little granddaughter, who often went
to see them in company with little
woolly dog and who always took the
seals something nice to eat These
animals were kept in a large pond and
they would come out of the water on
seeing their friends and sit down with
the m to have a good time on the
sand. The small dog was very lively
on these occasions, and he and the
seals would frolic together as though
they belonged to the same family and
shared the fruit and cakes from the
little girls basket One day, however,
lust in the midst of their fun the dog
fell into the pond, and after struggling
for a moment in the water he sank.
The seals uttered cry of dismay as he
disappeared, and then, shutting to the
pond, they plunged in. In an instant
the larger one had seized the half
drowned dog. ard, carrying him ten
derby in his mouth, placed the drip
ping animal at his mistress feet

In our Revolutionary war there was a

now seems to be known. From what part
of Virginia did he come: Z. H. !.
William Campbell. of Scotch-Irlsh "
parentage, was born III Augusta county IN
1745; received fair common-school edu-
cation; served as a captain in the battle Of

Regiment, commanded by Patrick Henry,
whose sister he married served. rs stated,
as colonel of the battle of King Noun
tain. His gallantry at Guiliord Court
house drew from General Greene and
Lieht-Horse Harry Lee the warmest enco-
miums, and the Virginia Legislature re-
warded him with the rank Of brigadler-
general. He joined Lafayette to oppose
the invasion Of CORVALLIS and was placed
in command of the hight infantry and
riiemen, but died after a brief but bril-
liant service in this trust a short time be-
fore the siege OF Yorktown. His widow
