hitting the nail on the head. In the
first place we said nothing about
"flax culture" as attributed to us by
| the Pioneer Press. Neither did we
say anything about Mr.. Stacy, or any
other shook farmer" with whom the
country is already overrun. Nor do
we care how many authorities he has
consulted. We mentioned the fact
that the experiment of feeding oil
cake was worthy the attention of the
farmer. We also mentioned the fact
that it was used, not extensively, as
much as sixteen or eighteen years
ago by Minnesota farmers, notwlth-
standing the repeated assertions OF
the Pioneer Press that is was practi-
cally an unknown quantity in the
Northwest until placed before the
people by that paper. AS to mot
even reading the headlines OF Mr..
Stacy's articles" we should think
by the tone of the "roast" that the
P. P. editor did not even see the
TRIBUNE, but some other instead.
Hence we would advise the Pioneer
Press editor to use little Of the sub
iect of Mr.. Stacy's articles on his
head in the way of a poultice, as it
is good for external as well as inter
nal use, and will reduce swelling.

The Daughter.

The superior wisdom of the feminine
mind is shown in the fact that the
mother never rebels against her daugh-
ter's guidance. She is the first to dis
cover the young woman's wisdom and
she enjoys the security and sense of rest
which come from feeling that she has
some one to depend upon, some one to
think and plan for her. She regards it
as providential that as the husband Of
her youth grows careless, as his judg
ment becomes untrustworthy as to de-
tails, as he grows inclined to shirk the
little questions which arise in the con-
duct of the household. the daughter
quite naturally takes up the neglected
duties and assumes the management of
the affairs. OF course it is often diff

The country people of England, as

an idea that the red of the robins breast
was caused by a drop of blood which
fell upon it at the crucifxion. Accord

ing the condition of Christ, tried to
pluck the crown of thorns from his
brow, and, in doing so, got its breast
wet with the blood flowing from the
wounds. The color became permanent,
being transmitted from generation to
generation, and thus, according to the
legend, the robin is perpetual remind
er of the sufferings of Christ.

summer, medical officers were
placed at the principal European
ports. and under the terms of the

make sure that the vessels clearing
for the United States were free
from all traces of disease.
Naturally, the requirements of
these officers were very unwelcome
to the steamship companies, and
finally the French government pro-
tested against the presence of our

The next governor Of MISSISSIPPI
pi, who will be indicted into office
on Jan. IS, 1886, fora term Of foul
years, will have the naming Of the
entire judiciary Of the State, with
the exception Of two supreme
court judges. This is unusual. 1t
grows out of the fact that under
the old law the term Of q circuit
judge was six years, while under
the new law it is four years, the
same as that Of chancellor. The
term Of a supreme judge is nine
years. There are no uneXpired
terms in the matter Of circuit
judges or chanccllors. When a
vacancy occurs BY death or rcsig-
nation successor is named by
| the governor for q full term Of four
years. 1t is different with supreme
court jndgships. When vacancy
occurs there u successor is sppoint-
ed to fill out the uneXpired term.
The judges Of Mississippi, su-
premc, circuit, and chancery, are
able, industrious, painstaking, la
borious, and the breath of suspi-
cion has never blown against a sim
Gle one Of them. In fact, the ju-
dietary Of Mississippi has long

DOLOROUS FINLEY FAMILY
An Infant Daughter Cause Of the
Latest Contention
The Mother Held for InsanIty-The Father
Charged With Desertion and Brutality.
Recriminatlon In the Court Room

pretty little baby was the innocent
cause of a sharp contention before the
superior court yesterday. und as the in
fant laughed from its nurses arms the
panfulness OF its circumstances was
made more apparent. The dispute was
in the nature of pitiful family quarrel.
Rena d. Finley is the baby's name. S he
was there on writ of habeas corpus,
sworn out by her maternal grandparent,
Mrs. Mary Il. Thomas mother-in.luw to
William J. Finlay OF Thirty.third street,
who had possession of the little one. The
mother and wife is in the county hospital
pending an examination as to her sanity,
brought on by the alleged desertion of her
husband and sickness undergone by her.
The story developed in court was: The
Finleys were rather hard pressed for SUBJ
sistence and one day Mr.. Finley packed
his necessary outfit and left for the San
Gabriel canyon to work a claim he has
staked out there. While he was mining
in the canyon he received message in
forming him OF troubles at nome. that led
him to drop everything and walk twenty.
nine miles by night to catch a train for
this city. Arrived here, he found his
wife and children had been in distress
through poverty and measles, and that as
u result the wife was confined in the
county hospital and on the verge of
insanity. His mother-in-law was car
ing for the baby. They thought he
had deserted them. and tho wife rad been
laboring, taking in washing.
Finley gathered his children together
and going to Mrs. Thomas house, carried
off the little girl. Mrs. Thomas swore cut
a writ of hapeas corpus to regain the
baby, alleging that Finley was brutal
tempered. abusive man, though acknowl
edging him TO be Christian, and unit
to do properly by the child.
Finley averred that it was his child, and
alleged that Mrs. Thomas multiplied eX-
periences rs a grass widow made her un-
fit to touch an innocent baby.
The court heard these little pleasan-
tries, and after DISCUSSION announced that
while the child undoubtedly should go to
the parent he should leave her with the
sheriff while he had the matter unuer ad-
visement pending report as to the con-
dition of the mother.
