The Judge was Moved.

@There was good joke played on
Judge Dundy, of the United states
Court, at Omaha, several years ago.
It makes me laugh every time l see
the Judges name in print" said
Thomas A. Weaver last night. Judge
Dundy is quite tenderhearted and
breads to send married man to jail.
Well, there was fellow on trial for
passing counterfeit money. He was
a single man and the case against him
was quite strong. Judge Baldwin was
defending him, and seeing that the
case was hopeless, Baldwin DECIDED to
take advantage Of Judge Dundy' s
weakness. He hunted up an old lady
who had FIVE children, ranging from .
years to 8 months old, and had her
impersonate the supposed wife and
children of the prisoner. All through
the trial they sat, often weeping.
The man was found guilty. Three
days later, when the prisoner was
Brought up to be sentenced, the wo-
man and children were brought in and
Judge Baldwin, who is very dramatic,
made plea for the man and his family
Of little ones, who would suffer if the
father was sent to prison. Baldwin
wept, the Court wept, the prisoner
pretended to weep, as did the children
When the Court had wiped away the
tears he talked severely to the man
and then gave him one day in jail and
$40 fine. Later on, when he learned
how he had been deceived, he became
so angry that it was weeks before or, he
would speak to Judge Baldwin. When
the joke got out every one twltted the
Court. After that the sight OF 9
handkerchief applied to the eyes II
Judge Dundy's Court was liable tt
get the prisoner ten years. Glo0e

Death NJ Calamity

Nowhere in the gospel Of our Lord
is natural death represented as son1e-
thing sad and gloomy. Paul says "to
die is gain,' and he had "a desire to
depart and be with Christ, " which, he
said, was "far better. 1t is to be
regretted that We often represent it as
undesirable, and the friends Of the
departed are made to feel that some
thing terrible has taken place. Simi-
lar expressions to the following are
often seen in religious journals, and
also heard from the pulpit: "We note
with profound regret and keen sense
of personal loss that such one has
died. His death was sad surprise
even to those who watched at his bed
side, and his many friends will be i'll
prepared for thisannouncement, which
we are penning with heavy heart:
he died in the Master service. God
knoweth best, and He doeth all things
we'll" What kind Of creatures must
we be, if We are all torn up over what
God does, when we can say, "He
doeth all things we'll ?" If to die is
gain, why be so grieved at, heart when
one Of our friends has been so fortu-
nate as to become great gamer We
regard it as a kind of misfortune which
might possibly have been avoided, and
grieve after our loved ones, as though
they were lost or weresnot; and, to
throw darker shadows over the grave,
very often the friends-I speak now
more especially of the women-dress
themselves in keeping with the gloomy
thought of death.
Why all this ado If your friends
from the spirit world could communi-
cate with us, they certainly would
tell US not to grieve after them, since
their condition is so much better than
ours. Right views of the spirit world
would drive away all those gloomy
clouds, and, instead Of injuring our
selves and making our friends uncon-
Portable in our presence, every new
tie in heaven would bring more Of its
light and JOY into our lives. There
are entirely too many things among
men which combine to make death
gloomy and sad. The gospel s. sheds
light along this way, for Jesus Christ
''hath abolished death, and hath
brought life and Immortality to light
through the gospel"
The pulpit and religious, press, as ,7
leaders in religious thought, should
change front, and drive back those
gloomy clouds which are casting their
Shadows over all our homes. Let the
sunlight of Gods truth shine into our
hearts !; then, instead of looking upon
death as the king of tcrrors, We will
regard it as the gateway into better
life. "Thanks be to God, which
giveth us the victory through our
Lord Jesus Christ !'-Cun'6ertand
PresIWeridn.

A Sad Case.

ssStories Of conviction on circum-
stantial evidence are rife in the law
books, nhd have afforded the plot Of
many novel;" said j. S. Haberling,
Of New York, at the tindell. ga
very sad case not Of conviction, but
almost as bad In it's results; occurred
in New York recently. A young lady
of refinement, a stranger in the city,
obtained employment as governess in
gentleman's family. One of her
pupils, a girl of Is, lost a diamond
ring. It was found in the desk of the
goYerness. She declared that she had
not seen It since it was last on the
girls hand, but she was hustled off to
the tombs, and, unable to give bond,
was kept there several days, exposed
to companionship with the most de-
PRAYED Of her sex. She was taken to
court in the black: Maria with negress
and white woman, both convicted
felons, going to be sentenced. She
was kept in the pen waiting for her
case to be called, exposed to the impu-
dent gaze Of the horde Of courtroom
loafers. When her case was called,
the court appointeda a lawyer to defend
her, as she was penniless. The prose-
cutting witness and her father told the
story Of the finding Of the missing
ring. The presumption that the
accused had placed it there was more
OF less strong until the lawyer began
to examine the owner Of the
ring. Guessing at the truth, by adroit
questioning he drew from the unwill-
ing witness the fact that she had often
pried into the desk and dressing case
drawers of the governess and that she
had so been engaged an hour or SO be-
fore she missed the ring F; and the
further fact that the ring fitted loose
ly. The judge dismissed the case
promptly, and her accuser's father
apologized. But the young woman
being of highly strung and nervous
temperament, is completely Frustrated
by her terrible experience in the
tombs, and the ill-effects will, it is
feared, be permanent. "-Gobe-Demo-

TARIFF REFORM.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Pfesi-
don't Cleveland has forwarded the
following letter to Hon: Chaunccy
F. Back, president of the National
Association OF Democratic Clubs.
Erecutirc Mansion, Washington,
April Is, 1S0l-IIon. C1anncey F.
Black, President, &c.-My Dear
Sir: i have carefully read tie com
munication you lately placed III my
hands setting forth the future pur
poses and present need of the
National A ssociahOn of Democratic
Clubs. The achievements Of this
organization should be familiar to
all who are interested in tie con-
tinuation of democratic supremacy
and should enlist the encourage
ment of tho-e who appreciate the
Importance of an effective dissent
nation Ct democratic doctrine.
Your association has done much
by way of educating oar people
touching the particular subjects
which are recognized as belonging
to the democratic faith; but it
seems to me that Its best serS ice
has been an enforcement and
demonstration of the truth that Our
party is best organized and power
full when it strives tor principles
instead Of spOilS, and that it quick
ly responds to the stimulus sup
plitd by au enlistment in the peO
PIES cause.
The acknowl, dgment Of tie i'm
portant service rendered to the adj
vancement of true democracy sag
gestS that the National Association
of Democratic ClubS and every
other democratic agency should
labor increasingly and earnestly to
save oar party, III this time OF its
power and responsibility, from the
degradation and disgrace of a fail
ure 10 redeem the pledges upon
which our fellOw.cOuntrymen en-
trusted us with the control of their
government.
All who are charged on behalf Of
the democratic party with the re
demptiOn OF these pledges should
now be impreSsively reminded that
as we won our waytO victory under
the banner of tariff reform, so our
insistence upon that principle is the
condition of our retention Of the
peoples trust, and that feally to
party organization demands the
sub ordination Of individual adj
vantageS and wishes and the
putting aside Of petty and iguob!e
iealousies and chickering's, when
party principles and party integ-
rity aud party existence are at
stake.
Icheeriully moose contribr-
ton to the funds necessary tocarry
on the good work OF your organi.
cation, with a hearty wish for its
continued success and usefulness.
Yours, very truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
