KICKS IS CENSURED

Decides Not to Impeach
the Judge.
THE FEE SYSTEM DENOUNCED,
Personal Explanation to the
Committee OF Improper
Accounts.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The attempt
TO impeach Judge Augustus j. Kicks OF
Cleveland has failed in the house judi
ciary committee by an adverse vote Of 3
to Z, and instead of a resolution for inn
parchment, which Mr.. Bailey OF Texas
had prepared to report to the house, one
win be presented denouncing the fee
system, which,in the opinion of mem.
bers has made the proceedings possible.
Judge Kicks gave q personal explana-
ton to the committee of the accounts in

as clerk of the court and which fur

and testimony was given against him by
Martin w. Sanders, who had been his
deputy clerk and succeeded to the clerk
ship when Judge Kicks was promoted to
the bench. The days review Of the
case, which was of a bitter, acrimonious
character. changed the opinion of nc
member, and the charges were ignored,
as it had been expected they would be
when all the members could be brought
together for a vote. The case was made
largely q party question: although
Judge Kicks had four Democratic votes
and, as the next congress is strongly Re
publican, there is no probability that il
viii be revived.

unable to answer the first question as to
his name and place Of birth.
''Why don't you answer" roared the
doctor. whats your name, say?''
Still the panic stricken lad only stared
at the questioner.
"Why, I believe the fellow is stone
deaf!" exclaimed the doctor, and taking
out his watch he held it to the left ear
of the recruit, saying, "Can you hear the
ticking?'
The youth shook his lead
The watch was applied to the other
ear. with the same effect, and then the
doctor began to shower his indignation
on the head of the future soldier.
"What do you mean by enlisting when
you re stone deaf? Why, you can't even
hear the ticking of watch when it is
held within an inch of your earl''
Then the worm turned.
"Yah, yah! She no. goinl' roared
the badgered boy.
When the doctor held the watch to
his own ear and found that it had in
deed stopped, his feelings were too pow

FR1DAY, November %. 1895.

IT is said that when Napoleon
was asked what was his first re-
quisite of war. he replied that
money was the first, second, third
and last requisite of a successful
war; money is certainly the first,
second, third and last requisite of
peace, because no country ever en-
joyed peace which conferred happi-
ness without an abundant supply of
money. Peace without money is
worse than war, pestilence and
famine combined, because lingerins
death of the masses is more dis
tressing than sudden death by war,
and because q money famine is not
relieved by the return of good crops
and also because medical skill can
mitigate pestilence and ultimately
eradicate the disease while the dis
ease of poverty is incurable without
money. Silver Knight.

CONFEDERATE STAMPS.

Persons who have kept any of the
old letters they received in the south
during the war might do we'll to look
them over. The confederate govern
ment authorized the issue and use of
local postage stamps and nearly every
city in the south at one time had it's
own stamp. Many thousands of these
were used, but SO rare are they now
that they bring very high prices.
There is among collectors keen de-
mand for them and an idea of what
they will bring may be gathered from
the report of a sale which occurred re-
Gently at the rooms of the Philatelic
society, New York. Local confederate
stamps sold as follows: Athens, Ga,
$40; four varieties Of the Baton Rouge,
La, scent, S41, SIT and $50 respec-
lively; Macon, Ga, two varieties, for
$3.50 and Sill; Lenior, n. c., $50,
and Mobile 2-cent, black, $41.5O. AS
time goes on these curiosities will
probably increase in value. They are
already beyond the reach of everybody
but wealthy Ollectors.-Atlanta Jour

ON EARLY MARRIAGES.

1t is closely in keeping with the
whole train of argument to say a word
in regard to early marriages, writes
the Rev. Charles II. Parkhurst. D. D..
in an article on The Safeguards of
Marriage, in the July Ladies' Home
Journal. That is the natural order of
event. Divine intention seems quite
distinct upon the matter Such mar
riages when properly contaminated
are means Of personal establishment
and security to the parties implicated.
For a young man or a young woman
to be whOlesomely married is the next
step TO being regenerated To be out
of that condition is counter to nature.
and to disregard nature subjects to all
kinds of exposure. 1t is sometimes
forgotten that natures arrangements
and intentions are in the nature of a
divine ordinance, which may be of the
same authoritativeness as though
drafted literally and included in the
decalOgue.

to say, vas not apprised of this; on the
contrary, he stopped aghast at the
sight Of the expectant congregation,
and would gladly have beaten retrea t,
but a grip of iron was on his shoulder
and, ere he knew lit, he was standing
in full sight on guard.
Then a buzz of admiration and sur
prise went round the room.
'TWhy, it's Professor Gollr'
He heard, and a fierce hate bIaZed
out of his eyes, and Paul felt that it
would be a fight indeed. Gertrude was
there; he had sought and found her
with his first swift glance.
From the beginning the professor.
smiling wickedly, pushed the bout as
best he could, growing conscious, how
ever, with each spent blow that all
his tricks We're known, and that Paul
was triding with him. Pausing for
breath, he swept the room with an
open, angry stare, and presently It
rested on Gertrude
He had no thought of retreat there
after. He remembered with a rush of
blood TO his paid face how conde-
scendingly he had spoken to her of
Paul. With a higher guard, then. he
awaited the onset. sparring lightly for
wind; Paul presently gratified him.
Pressed slowly backward the pro-
lessor was regaining confidence. when
suddenly Paul made one of his famous
feints. He took NO further advantage
OF it than to pause and laugh with
the spectators at the wild furry of the
professors arms, but the next instant
he saw that his time had come; that
the white-lipped man in front of him
was no longer to be toyed with, but
stricken down.
That laugh drove the professor to an
act IT folly. He tried to echo it; and
then, as it ended in a hoarse, painting
cry, lunged forward with a shift of
feet. But his man was not there AS
the professors body swung to the
right his head bent forward. Paul
co0lly turned the blow and drove his
left home with staggering effect
Back came the professor with the
glare of an Infatuated wild beast: the
smile on PaulS face half craZed him
and rushing forward he tented weakly
with both hands and then swung
around on the pivot.
1t was a desperate move. and ended
in complete disaster. Gertrude hid her
face in her hands as she saw Paul's
long, strong arm spring full in the face
of his antagonist. There was Il heavy
fall, a storm of cries. in which sit
served him right predominated and
when she looked up again Paul was
tenderly sponging the professors face.
ooh, it was horrid of him. she said
to Mrs. Hardness. Nevertheless, she
was proud of her lover.
Not a word passed between the two
men until they stood dressed and face
to face at the top of the flight of steps. !
Round about the professors left eye
was a blotch of red; the rest of his face
was very white.
Il must thank you" said Paul for
the points you have given me-
The professor started.
''But don't you think Mare Antony
made mistake in selecting you?"
THE professor smiled feebly
Because" added Paul, cleopatra
does"
Then the professor went down the
steps. Vanity.
