Their nat ure so straightforward, their upoues uonsoie honesty, the true patriotism which guided both, seemed a sort of platform upon which they naturally mst. they were therefore made to appreciate one another.
 But, on the other hand, 1t must be admitted that their two mind. were scarcely intended to sgree MT.

CONCURRENCE.


 Concurrence is catching, but 1t is some times little slow in catching. Soon after the report of the expert who examined some of the accounts of Waldron was made there was a good deal of concurrence among the people of New Haven in the idea that all the accounts of the city should be carefully examined and some safe system of keeping them devised. But nobody in power seemed to have any concurrence with the people in this matter. Indeed, they showed good deal of ''discurrence." But after being exposed to concurrence for some time the board of aldermen caught it in mild form-a kind of varioloid con- currence, so to speak. Ths counoilmen, however, caught the real thing, and, as appears from last nights meeting, they have given 1t to the board of aldermen. Both boards now have it, and 1t seems likely to run its course without check. It is to be hoped that it will not go ss hard with the board of aldermen as that body has seemed to think it might. The alder men can be encouraged by the fact that most of the people have had io and are still alive

LAW AND JUSTICE.

It hath been said that "The law is a sort face while it picks your pocket; and the glorious uncertainty of 1t Is of more use to the professors than the justice of it." Without stopping to discuss this rather sharp remark it is interesting to note that they are asking in Illinois, as ex-Senstor Lyman Trumbull put it, "If it is not time that our courts should become dispensers of justice, and not followers of precedents to the denial of justice" In his message the governor of Illinois spoke strongly con- corning the matter, and there is apparent ly real effort to get the legislature to do something about 1t. Judge Trumbull, who was judge of the State supreme court 45 years ego, who has been in the United States Senate IS years and an active prac- titioner before the courts for the last 20 years. and who would thus seem to be we'll qualified to speak, points out how the legis- lature can cure the evils of which there is go much complaint, as follows: Courts are instituted for the administra- tion of justice, and why not pass @ law al lowing them to do this by abolishing all distinction between forms of actions, whether of legal or equitable character, and all technicalities in the way of passing upon case on it's real merits, and declar- ing that no judgment or decree of court shall be reversed by a court of review, on appeal or writ of error, for want of form or any error in the proceedings in the trial court, If the court of review was of opin- ion that the parties had had fair trial in accordance with the constitution, and that substantial justice had been done between them?
 There is common sense in this. Some astonishing things are done by courts when they pay more attention to the letter of the law than its spirit. It is to be hoped that the proposed reform will bs started in Illi- nois and spread all over the country. If we need more law in order to have more justice give us more law.

What is Texas northern"
The question was put to Mai B. NJ. VAN
derhurst of Texas
"A Texas norther. my inquring friend, is
an extremely damp and disagreeable wet
ness that crawls up out Of the hole where
the north pole used to be and swoops down
upon the sometimes sunny southland at
Nancy Hanks gait. catching you with your
mosquito bar underclothing on and your
overcoat IN soak. 1t is more penetrating
than ammonia and requires but ten seconds
to work Its way to the most secret recesses
OF fat mans soul and cause him to regard
the orthodox hell Of fire as the one thing in
all the world most to be desired
when a norther has a victim in its grin
he feels that he has a combination of buck
ague and consestive chills. 1t is the custom
In Texas not to make a fire until somebody
freezes to death. 1t would be a slur on the
most delightful climate on earth Few
houses built prior to the war had any pro-
vision Tor heating. The custom was when
norther announced itself to keep piling on
the contest. That custom is still generally
followed. Northern people regard this eccen-
tricity OF the Texas climate with extreme
disgust. They go down there expecting to
find ten months Of summer and two months
of early fall weather: to revel in the glad
sunshine and to inhale the unctuous perfume
OF magnolia buds all the year. They get into
their picnic clothes and send their heavy
weights to friends back home to be given
to the poor or packed away in camphor.
Tor three days they long to go to Manitoba

Where SOiled Playing Cards Go.


Onlookers In the card rooms of clubs
gaming resorts and similar Institutions
have sometimes asked what became Of the
sofled playing cards after they were cast
aside in such places. The number of new
packs OF cards called for in a fashionable
club or prosperous gambling house in the
course of a month is enormous pack
may be used through an entire evening,
but 1t frequently happens where high stakes
are being played for that half a dozen new
packs will be called for in a single game
In the course of night. As none but cards
Of excellent quality are used, and as
player for stakes has a right to demand a
fresh pack whenever his caprice or super
stition prompts him. the keeper of a gam
bling house finds the cost Of providing them
a considerable item of his running ex-
penses.
What is done with the soiled cards? You
may think the servants get them But they
don't. There Is traffic In them which in
the course of year in city like New York
or Chicago amounts to quite handsome
figure. The cards that have been used are
carefully saved and sold to a regular buyer.
who contracts to take all that the proprie-
tor may have to offer during the year or
season. As rule these cards are but
little soiled. many Of them having been
used FOR perhaps less than a dozen deals
The buyer, who conducts regular bust
ness, sorts them cleans them as well as he
can, replaces missing cards from great
stacks OF odd cards kept for that purpose
puts them into the original wrappers which
have been saved for him. and then resells
them His customers are mostly second
and third rate social clubs, or non gambling
clubs In smaller cities and retailers who can
be persuaded by low prices to purchase in
large quantities. Nine packs out of ten of
these cards will pass anywhere as strictly
new ones, SO carefully are they cleaned and
restored, and for all practical purposes they

got down and dismissed the driver; tell
ing him to go TO Beaumont or to any
hotter place IL there should be one. He
continued quite as cheerful, seeming un-
conscious that he had offended; and when
we started for the railway station. he was
rubbing down the horse and washing out
its mouth.
At the station there was one full hour to
wait What with the CLINT of steel rails,
masters kitchen garden, and the empty
milk cans standing In a row, there was
little to distract the eye or mind from the
glow Of glazing advertisements piastered
about the walls of the open air shed
