The Sick One,

This is q story an old bachelor
friend of mine tells to bolster him
self up whenever he begins to think
that single blessedness is not all II
is cracked up to be. A woman here
in town gave dinner one Sunday
in the winter-a family dinner-to
some friends who had known her
when fortune was not smiling on
her as it does these days. She
made great preparations for the II.
fair and sent to her farm In Mary.
land for turkeys to grace the feast
The turkeys cane, alive, in q box,
but in mailing the box shut one Of
them had boon cut in the head
slightly by a nail, so that his head
bled little. The dinner was pre-
pared and served. It was a triumph
of art, and everything went on
swimmingly till the roast turkey
came in. The little son of the house
saw it coming. "Oh," he said in .
clear, sweet ringing voice. "here
comes the sick turkey. Mamma said
to kill that one first. "-Washington
Post.

GLOVE CONTESTS DOOMED.

Justice McEnery, as the organ
of the Supreme Court, last week,
sounded the death knell of prize
fighting in Louisiana and hereat-
ter "gIove contests" in the arena
of the Olympic Club, as well as
prize fighting, pure and simple, in
the pugilistic ring, will no longer
be permitted or tolerated within
the limits of the Pelican State.
This is as it should be. There
is no reason why the the statute
should have been heretofore con.
strued to have Disseminated in
favor of"glove contests"as against
"prize fights" or why two brutal
sluggers should be permitted to
pommel each other to death with
gloves in the hall of the Olympic
or any other athletic club, when
the same species of brutality with
out gloves was prohibited within
the pugilistic ring in the open air.
Thanks to the Supreme Court,
New Orleans will hereafter be ex.
empted from these degrading, dis
graceful and brutal exhibitions of
human prowess and endurance,
which are attended with as much
danger to the principals, as the
gladiatorial contests which were
anciently permitted in the Roman
amphitheatre, to the great delight
and extreme qualification of the
blood-thirsty multitude, who in
variably witnessed them. 1t one of
the participants was transtixed at
the initial stroke with the incisive
steel OF his adversary, 1t only
caused the death of one of the pie.
bian rabble, whose place was i'm
mediately supplied with another
OF the same caste and species.
But in this humanitarian era
and christian age, we have the
same regard for the life blood of
the canaille, that we have for the
kid gloved gentry and pampered
millionaires of the land aud seek
to protect its useless etfusion, by
rigorous restraints of humane laws.

GORDON DISCHARGED.

Judge Thompson, of Louisville,
KY, before whom the preliminary
examination was held, discharged
Gordon for the killing Of his wife
and Archie Brown, an account OF
which we chronicled last week.
This Judge may be thoroughly
versed in legal lore, especially that
pertaining to the commonwealth
of Kentucky, but we have always
been under the impression, that he
who deliberately and with malice
aforethought takes the lives Of two
human beings, must be held to
answer therefor before a jury of
his peers and could not be ab-
solved from responsibility by an
examining or committing magis-
trate, except where the homicides
are shown from positive and indu-
bitable evidence to have been
committed in self defense.
In this case, no such plea can be
set up or sustained. Gordon de-
liberately broke open the door OF
the room where the parties had
taken refuge, took advantage of
his sudden and unexpected en-.
trance and killed, not only the de.
stroyer of of his home and domes-
nestle felicity-though that is a
controverted point-but also slew
the hitherto partner of his joys
and sorrows.
The Judge may have considered
that he was justified in shooting
to death two human beings
as a warning to other trans
gressors, but if such is his opinion,
it is merely All obiter dict,tm, not
supported by either statutory,
common law or the presidents es'
